MARX SMITHS RECORD.

The following brief synopsis of
the record of Hon. Marcus A.
Smith is taken from the Congress
sional Record, which any one can
read who will take the trouble to
do so.
First, the record shows that he
has introduced 315 different meas
ures, in the way ofbills introduced,
amendments offered, petitions and
memorials presented, all of which,
with the exception of four, which
were in favor of Utah, were for
the benefit of Arizona, and he was
on the floor of Congress II diff
ferent times making speeches in
favor of those measures. One OF
his speeches is conseded to be the
most masterful effort ever made
in the cause Of silver.
Second, he passed the bill twice
through the lower house admitting
Arizona to Statehood, which con
tanned greater appropriations than
those received by Dakota, Idaho
Montana, Wyoming or Utah, the
Territories mentioned in the oper
letter of Hon. VIM. o. O'Niel.
Third, he passed bill which
gave to the Territory twenty-five
thousand dollars for the defeat o
the Peralta Reavis land grant
thourgh which this great fraud was
defeated, 5000, 900 for surveys alone
to give settlers an opportunity o
proving up on their lands, 100000
to pay private Indian depreciation
claims, some of which was receiv
ed by people living in Stafford to
| day, 2200 acres of land for a
prison farm which, if properly
managed will make that institu
ton self sustaining, thereby lift
ing a heavy annual burden from
the people, $4,000 for a levy il
the Gila river, $4,000 for the seq
regation of coal lands.
When Arizona is admitted tC
statehood, under the bill provided
by Mr.. Smith then will his worl
in the Appropriation of funds ant
lands for the upbuildlng of Ari
zona be felt from one end of thu
Territory to the other, and We
will be one of the most prosperous
states in the Union.

Graham guardian., 1896-10-23

WHY didn't Bucky O'Niell say
in his open letter to Mr.. Smith
that those big appropriations
which other Territories got from
the general government were con-
tanned in the bills which admitted
them to the Union of States, and
that the bill which Mark Smith
passed the lower house of Congress
for the admission Of Arizona con-
tanned more appropriations than
any of the other Territories receiv-
ed.

The Wilcox Stockmdn reports a
flood at Wilcox last week which
did about $4,000 damage to the
town. The water held back by the
railroad grade raised so that it
entered several stores and dwell
ings. The people of the town will
sue the railroad company for dam
ages rs there is but one opening
through the grade for the escape of
flood waters, which is insufficient,
and number of appeals have been
sent to the company for this evil to
be remedied which has not yet been
done.

A Significant Departure.

With the departure of another
year when a review is made of the
condition of affairs, it is only right
that some thought be given to the
physical body which enables every
one to battle with life's problem
and figure for themselves the profit
or loss on the trial balance sheet.
Though the bank account may be
large and each ones material gain
be great, it would not be surprising
If it suddenly dawns upon many
that good health has been greatly
impoverished by the low condition
of the blood. 1t is in this state
that the Tactic acid in the vital fluid
attacks the fbrous tissues, par
tlcularly the points, making known
the local manifestations of rheuma-
tism. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparilla the
great blood purifier, a positive and
permanent cure for rheumatism.

Mournful was the spectacle at the
court house yesterday. Old Maid
Matthews had got up in the early
morn at Newport, came up to
Toledo and sat in the county court
room all day, just in order to see
the court refuse to allow the bill for
printing the ballots. The bill came
up just before adjournment and the
court all agreed that it was a very
reasonable bill and it was allowed
with NO objections from any member
OF the court. The Old Maids lip
fell several inches as he heaved a
great sigh and put on his little cap
to get ready for home. The Old
Maid had better look at that bill of
sale OF the county court that he
imagines he carries around in his
inside pocket. Perhaps it has the
names of the Newport newly elected
council on it ms cad ofthe members
of the county court.

Another New Steamer.

The great amount of freight
offerings on the O.. c. & E. have
rendered it necessary to put another
steamer on the San Francisco-Ya-
quina route. To meet this emer-
gency the Steamer Homer has been
chartered and will be placed on the
route, arriving at Yaquina on her
first trip next Monday. The Homer
was formerly on the run. The
Farallon will continue to stop at
way ports between San Francisco
and Yaquina, but the Homer will
only carry through freight and
passengers. The O. c. & E. is
nearly blocked with freight, the
yards being crowded at Yaquina.
The high price Of wheat and oats
has caused the shipping of a large
amount of these cereals over the
road. The two steamers will prob
ably soon be able to clear the jam
of freight.

Newport City Election.

The city election at Newport Is
said to have been the hardest fought
election held there for years. The
issue was whether or not the city
would buy the right and interest OF
Samuel Case in the water 'front.'
About three or four months ago
the city council passed an order
buying Mr.. Cases interest and
ordered a city warrant drawn Ill
favor of Mr.. Case for the amount
which was $1,000, we understand
Mayor S. G. Irwin was opposed 10
it and refused to sign the warrant
The matter was allowed to run
along until this election when the
line was drawn solely on that issue
The result was a victory for the
ants, or those opposed to the pur'
chase of the water front. The sue
cessful candidates were as follow
w. S. Written, J. H. Maiue, Geo
Ford, VIM. Wright, w. l.. DAVIS,
DR.. Warren, S. H. Maley ana
c. H. Williams. The recorder.
