1 It will soon be in order for the two
 great political parties of Yavapai
 county to select candidates for the
 different county offices, as well as for
 members of both houses of the terri.

 The CHAMPION IS desirous of see ing men nominated and elected, who are representative citizens. By this we mean men who by actual residence have acquired a thorough knowledge of the wants of our people. Men who will legislate for the best interests of the whole people, irrespective of rings or cliques.
 Men who will labor to the best of their ability for the benefit of every section and industry in the county. Men who are constitutionally honest and can never be made party to any corrupt scheme.
 In this connection, Flagstaff and vicinity has number of gentlemen who possess the necessary qualifca- ticns to fill any position which the people might see fit to place them in. Such men as ". Fl. Ashurst, $. s. ACker, w. NJ. Mlunds, w. C Stew art, Thos, McMillan, Al. Doyle, D. J. Brannen, B. B. BuliwiEkle, ]. F. Daggs, C. T. Rogers, D. M. Riordan, J. B.

The newspapers frequently congrat ulate themselves over the postal law recently put in force by the PostOfice Department. Itmakes the taking oi a newspaper and refusing to pay for the same theft, and a person guilty ofsuch action is liable to proceedings the same as if he had stolen goods to the amount of the subscription. Here after it will not be considered a shrewd scheme to take newspaper from the office year and inform the editor that you never ordered t sent you.- Wilcox Stockman.

 shrInkage.

The shrinkage ot beef cattle in their transi. to market Is of vital import ance to stockmen. IL IS one of the losses in cattle ranchlng which should be controlled and prevented as far as possible, though entire prevention ot shrinkage is nearly impossible. Dur ing the continuance of this hot wea- ther the greatest care should be used in rounding up and cutting beeves as gently and quietly as possible. Beef herds should not be driven except when absolutely necessary in order to make watering places. Ordinarily when started for the shipping point a herd of beeves will grazc from camping place to water al noon and thence to bedding ground at night, providing the intervals between water De not ex cessive, but during very hot weather unless started of the bedding ground very early Tn the morning they do not graze sufficiently, but soon get warm aad strike out for water. In many sections this season there Is scarcity of water where at other times there mas always oesn sutficien 10 supp y nerds. It the supply of water Is scant then the greatest care should b: used to throw lne nerd onto the wlter Tn sucn shape that the cattle shall have an equal opportunity to satisfy their thirst before thelr leaders StIr up and muddy lhe water loo much tor artnk- lng. Throwing out very cary 10 sraze n Ih- morning, permitting 10 sfa1s a, is.e as posslDie ln the even lns, careful gealle handling, and a suTticiency ot water even in this hot weather will pat beef herd down 70 the ,hlpplng point without very sever. shrinkase. Olcc Tn the cars en route prompt unloading, water and iced, and more room allowed than Ia cooler weather. All lnese little common place affli tend to reiuce ,hrlnkIge and add 10 profits. -Itcs Guy Stock Growers JoIfnal.

If mothers could always realized the ideals they represent to their children they would be greatly encouraged in their arduous duties. A lady riding in street car saw little boy whom she knew.
 "So you have little sister, Willie1" she remarked pleasantly. "Is she is a pretty baby1"
 "She looks just like mamma" was the smiling answer,
 "What do you call hcr'' asked the lady.
 "Sae's named after mamma" an swered the little fellow, promptly.
 Everybody was smiling, and to re- lieve the lady's embarrassment, a friend inquired the color of the baby's hair.
 "It is the same color as mammals, he responded, timidly.
 A gentleman, who had been amused by the dialogue, asked the wee man if the new little sister was good baby.
