The Pinal county court house
and jail bonds have been sold and
the contract let for the construction
of the building, which will be ercted
upon the western end of the old
cemetery, facing on Pinal street.
The supervisors have performed all
their duties in connection Herewith
in a highly commendable manner
so far. The contractors are we'll
known as competent mechanics and
their record for honest work is a
guarantee that the structure will
conform exactly to the plans and
1t is therefore quite
certain that Pinal county will secure
the worth of the money expended
in a public building that will be a
credit to its people and their en-
terprise.-Enterprise.

Contrary to the SENTINEL's inference we
are aiding the county; we have forced that
paper to discard its patent outside; we have
aroused it into realization and printed ac-
acknowledgement of the fact that there are
other canals than the Mohawk, and other
interests than the personal, political and
financial aspirations of Proprietor Dorring-
ton; we have benefited the county to the
extent of forcing our contemporary to as
sumo the dress, if not the spirit, of news
paper, and we will do some other things,
before many days, that will be rather apt
to invoke a wish from the gentleman in

Walnut Grove Disaster.

The Walnut grove dam disaster
is one of the most terrible accidents
which ever has occurred in Arizona.
On Saturday morning last, the dam
broke and swept into eternity about
one hundred persons, although the
exact number of lives lost can never
lie ascertained. From late telegra-
phic accounts it is learned that the
superintendent anticipated danger
the day previous and sent out
tie the lower dam to warn
the people living in the canyon, the
courier instead Of attending to the
matter got drunk and his neglect
resulted in the great loss Of life.
The upper dam broke at one o'clock
in the morning and the immense
body of water one half mile square
aEd one hundred feet deep, rushed
down the canyon earring death and
destruction on every side.

With much regret we chronicle
the death of A. D. Crawford, on the
twenty-ffth of this month, at his
residence in Mohawk Valley. He
was born in Wisconsin in the year
1914, and was, therefore, only in
his forty-sixth year when death
claimed him. He was a victim of
consumption, acquired through ex-
posture a few MOI tls ago, an his
demise had been expected for some
time past. Mr.. Crawford came to
Yuma with the advent of the
Southern Pacific railroad in 1878,
and has remained in the county
ever since. He was one of the first
to open Silver District, and it was
greatly owing to his energy and
perseverance in developing the
mines therein that the District ar
rived at the reputation it afterwards
acquired. His unselfshness for
the general good led him to sacrifice
in a measure, his individual inter
ests and he missed even a COM
potency where others made a for
tune. His perseverance led him
to stay with the District till the
last, and it was only when hope be-
came worse than forlorn that he
pulled up stakes" and left. Re-
cognizing the vastness of Yuma
County's agricultural resources, he
abandoned mining and became
identified with the growth of Mo-
hawk Valley, where at the time of
his death, he had valuable interests
in land and water-ri ghts. Poor
Gus! He was as true a friend as
ever clasped hands with a fellow
man, and he left behind him host
of mourning friends. May his
shadow in the unknown world be
not less than it was in this. He
was buried on the day following
his death in ground near his re-
sidence, where in the years to come,
his grave will be strewn with
blossoms from the trees he planted.

straw being used for mulch. Wher-

beautifully and were free from grubs.
1t is also claimed that burning tends to
cure and prevent rust or leaf-blight, but
can not speak from experience as to
this. A valuable advantage gained By
burning is that the patch will not need
any worl1-except to run between tina

six weeks after their F'baptism of fire."
