EARNING ITs MONEY.-The last Hiawatha Her
aid is devoted principally to the cause of Judge
Hubbard, and, seemingly as a necessary accom-
pani ment, to pitching into the Ch,ef. We don't
blame the Herald for laboring for pay, for that's
business; but it is shoveling entirely too much
manure for S bill. A rehash of our shortcom-
ings Is no argument in favor of Hubbard's re-
election; and S nobody has intimated that it is
corrupt or dishonorable in Judge Hubbard to
endeavor to secure reelection, there is no ne
cesity to spend much time trying to prove to
this effect. Before the canvass is ended, it will
be made hot enough for Hubbard relative to his
decisions and rulings, SO his body guard had bet
ter save their ammunition against the time of
need.
In reply to the Heralfs question what " Sol.
Miller" conceives Republicanism to be, we will
say that our notion of true Republicanism was
demonstrated by Burger & Roberts, who very re-
Gently got down into the dirt as low as they are
now getting in the interest of Hubbard, in the
effort to rally Grangers, Democrats, Rebels and
sore heads to defeat the Republican ticket; but
being badly scooped, they straightway announc-
ed themselves Republicans, and have ever since
been issuing orders for the proper running of the
party, to those who stood by the party and won
the victory.

" When we receive a oommu nication from a
person who has "long been an interested reader
of your valuable paper" who then proceeds to

some idea of the dangers that the

"Whether the swift time can

and down the steep grade beyond
the summit, is the most import
ant question of the trip. If any
timid passengers are aboard we

THE PENITENTIARY.
Completion of the First Section OF
the Territorial Prison.

The Board of Territorial Prison
Commissioners met on last Thurs
day and appointed Geo. M. Thur
low Superintendent of the prison.
The prisoners will be removed
from the County Jail, (now the
temporary PRISON. to the new prl-
son on the 1st of July. The Com
missioners propose to board the
prisoners at the Prison, fixing as
basis the Government rations,
the cost of which is about the
same.
The Superintendent is required
to give bonds in the sum Of $4,000
for the faithful performance of his
duties.
The Prison, as it now stands,
will accommodate from II to Is
prisoners. There are two cells
completed with capacity for four,
and the outside building of ado
bes, contains two prison rooms,
barred windows, and anchors to
secure prisoners, which will safe
ly cOnfine 10, or if necessary more.
This adobe building. besides the
two prison rooms, has a warden's
room, hall for guards, and other
necessary rooms for tools, kitchen,
etc.
The prison and grounds is sup
Piled with water from the Reser-
voir on the hill, which will hold
about $4,000 gallons. This water
is pumped from the Colorado Riv-
er by an engine on the bank-a
very complete affair throughout.
The appropriation of $25, 900 made
by this Territory is about exhaust
ed, and the Commissioners show
as a result: The two cells; adobe
buildings-part of the prison; wa
ter tank; boiler and engine with
necessary piping; set ofblacksmith
tools, with heavy punch and
an immense derrick which
in future work will be extremely
useful; full set Of tools for use of
prisoners, and a beautiful site.
In this expenditure of money, it,
must be taken in consideration
that a considerable sum was eX-
pended in eXcavating, surveying,
prison plans, ETC., and it is only a
wonder here that the Commission
ers have accomplished so much
under the circumstances. The
bonds only realized ST. ,z65 62 cur.
rency-only about $4,000 coin.
Great credit is certainly due the
Commissioners, (who have work
ed without pay of profit for their
earnest endeavors to make the
money reach as far as they could.
We hope their labors will be pro.
perly appreciated by our next
Legislature.

HORRIBLE DEATH,
Two Men and a Woman Perish on
the Desert.

Mr.. Hood, Civil Engineer of the
8. P. R. R., camped few miles
below here, informed us last
Thursday, that two men and a
woman who had attempted to
cross the Desert from Dos Palmas
to Yuma, had perish ed. Mr.. Hood
on Thursday morning assisted in
burying one of the men, whose
body they found within four
miles of the Colorado River. A
man who came across from Dos
Palmas, reports seeing the body
of the other man dead far out on
the Desert. He did not see the
woman, but she is undoubtedly
dead. He saw their wagon and
dead horses. The body of the
man buried by MIR Hood and par
ty had nothing on by which his
name could be ascertained. There
were q likeness of the deceased, a
braid of brown hair, and a few
trinkets of cheap jewelry, which
Mr.. Hood has in his possession.
Mr.. Hood and party started yes
terday across the Desert and if
they find the other parties they
will bury them. This unfortun-
ate party is the same that Mr..
Griffith, of Kerens & Mitchell, in
company with Mr.. Ross of Yuma,
overlook two weeks ago on their
way from Dos Palmas to Yuma.
On that occasion Mr.. Griffith gave
to the suffering party all his wa
ter. "a ten. gallon keg fully, besides
large quantity of canned fruits
and other provisions, and in con-
sequence of which Mr.. Griffith
and Mr.. Ross came near losing
their lives before reaching the
river. The intervals between wa
ter are yet 80 long on that route.
that parties had better avoid it
In the hot months until more
wells are dug.
