Last week the TRANSCRIPT stated
that three Democratic Federal office
holders in Wilmington, appointed by
Senator Gray, have for the past six
months done absolutely nothing but
draw their pay, 1920 to $430 a month.
The Every Evening which poses as an
advocate of "good government" and
ECONOMY" was invited to investigate
the matter and to denounce the legal
steal of the peoples money. This is
what the Every Evening has to say
about the matter:

The TRANSCRIPT recently asked the
Democratic editors in the State to give
a list of the beneficial act of legisla-
tion, passed by the Democratic Gen.
eral Assemblies in the State for the
past thirty years, unaided by Republi-
can votes in the Legislature. Such
information is due the many conscien-
tious Democrats who have followed the
party leaders faithfully for thirty years.
Certainly some of the editors can stop
their abuse of the Republicans long
enough to give this information. The
list furnished by them so far is as fol-
lows.

The Jerome Chronicle Bids You
 All Farewell.

With this fourteenth issue, we close our journalistic career within your midst. The reason we do so. Is for want of patronage. We will not whine, as we do not consider that we are unfortunate in thus re- ilnquishing our short life as a jour nallSt among you. We realize that those that are financially interested in Jeromes future have more to lose by the Chronicle death than any one. The editor has faithfully iabored both early and late with the hope that he was doing all that a willing head and hand could do.
 The above is part of the obituary the Jerome Chronicle publishes at Its own death. We are sorry to see the Chronicle suspend as it is was a newsy little sheet, and it remarks truly when 1t says the people of the town have more to lose by its leath than it hae.-GuarGian.

All went for about seven miles, when the raft ran on to a snag and commenced to break up,
 Young Werrenger and hIs com panion were precipitated into the wafer, and they immediately com menced to diyest themselves of their clothing and prepared to swim ashore. The raft which the Cap tian was on remained intact, and at his request he was cut loose, and when opposite the first raft grasped a large bundle containing hls cloth ing and Werrenger's and pulled if aboard. His raft had been consi- derably submerged before the heavy tumble was added with the addi-I tional weight the logs sunk beneath the water until the Captian Was in the water. up to his armpits. He was in the water for seven hours, and during that time travelled fifteen miles. During the interim his legs began to cramp, and he was nearly l exhausted when he passed the Beat ty camp near the Potholes. The current at this point shoots across to the Arizona shore, and he was carried close enough to be able to grasp the willows that line the river bank. After pulling a half dozen CT more out by the roots he brought bis raft to a halt and threw his baggage on the shore.
 Travelling short distance he met m Indian who rented him q horse, and he arrived here a sorry sight and a very tired man.
