CORDOVA POSTMASTER
RESIGNS
CORDOVA, Nov. 22—Postmaster
Harry Steel today sent in his resig
nation to the department to take
effect immediately. His action is
due, it is said to the fact that the
force under him has been reduced to
such an extent as to affect the ef
ficiency of the service.
THAT OUR READERS MAY KNOW
In view of the fact that the
.“machine man” was ill the last three
days of last week made it extremely
hard for the office force, and in
some instances many things were
neglected, notably the advertiser’s
ads. Among them were Messrs.
Heckman, Barnett, Gilmore, Pruell
& Berthelson. The delay in making
the changes required may be said
to have been unavoidable, hence this
apology. Our readers are requested
to look at the changes that have
been made today in these ads, be
guided accordingly, and help us to
hope for no more of last week’s ex
perience.—Editor.

SENATOR SLUZER IS TAKEN
DOWN A PEG OR TWO
It is not the purpose of this paper
to knock anybody; particularly a
man like Senator Sulzer, whom
everybody likes. But a fact is a fact
and should be acknowledged as such.
It is a well "known fact that the
Senator is a splendid gardner—he
is splendid in everything for that
matter. Evidence of that was dis
played the whole summer long with
samples of what the Senator could
grow in his garden. And we frank
ly admit that we were proud of
the gardener Senator for what he
could grow in his garden, until we
received from Mr. Shell house severs.’
potatoes—not only vines but the
genuine potatoes—that were dug out
of Mr. Ed. Thornton’* garden at
I Copper Mountain. These notatoes
'are now on view ir the Progressive
Miner’s office window and are evi
dence of the accuracy of the caption
of this note, and that is, “Senator
Sulzer is Taken Down a Peg or
Two.”
Ten to one would be a safe bet
that as soon as the Senator sees
this note, he will- at once start an
othr garden; because, as everybody
knows, he is a spunky little fellow.
