SOME GROWLS.
Being the Reflections of a Very
 Worthy Bonifnce.

Hotel men are not expected to be in i tellectuaL We have no occasion for
 brains in our business All we have to
 do is to open Q hotel. and the guests 1 tell us how to conduct it.
 Full mAny a flower is born to blush
 unseen and waste its sweetness on the desert air, says the poet. That's all right as far as flowers are concerned,
 but it's no good to hotel keepers. You
 can't blush unseen and pay high rent and meet your taxes with a smile. Peo- l pie don't go nosing around trying to discover yoa. In these days of fierce competition, you have to shove the
 name and quality of your hotel right | under their noses.
 You must have something about your hotel better or different from others ! Make it the finest or the cheapest or the | handiest, or the cleanest or les it con- | bine all these conditions, and then let | the world know it and it will be talked Of throughout the empire. If We can't ! have the best hotel, let's have the best hotel we can. There are lots of old fash
 toned folk still left in the world.
 Should you inadvertently chance up on a guest in the act of absorbing some ! trihing article of bric-a-brac, or an eight day clock, or a towel, or even a
 pair of sheets, with true delicacy turn your back and affect not to see him lest he be embarrassed.
 Bear in mind that many tourists ! especially those from foreign lands take an innocent delight in collecting ! little souvenirs to serve as pleasant re
 minders of their visit to hotels. It is a
 source of qualification to me when I re- ! fleet upon the hundreds of happy homes
 which have helped to beautify. There are travellers who have about as much
 regard for the rights of a landlord as a ! tomcat, and anything in a hotel which
 is not secured to the floor is usually
 considered in the light of legitimate
 prey. And, knowing this little eccen- tricity, we must humor it.
 There is no class of men in the con-
 munity who are so imposed upon and
 have SO much abuse heaped upon them,
 and yet so fat, as the hotel man The law looks upon the hotel man as cross
 between a licensed pirate and a fire in
 surance company.
 A hotel is like "jack pot" in the
 exciting game of poker. It is compara-
 lively easy to open, but it is often rath
 CT costly to finger. Sloper.

THE BOARD OF CONTROL
What an Ex-Democratic Governor Of
 Arizona Says Of the Same.

The democratic press, and the
 democratic territorial platform, earl
 are somewhat wrathy in their idea.
 of reforming territorial institutions
 especially making target Ot the
 board of control, advocating Us
 abOlishment at once by the next leg ! islature. The Tucson Star, a dem cratis paper and published by e2- governor Hughes, democrat, comes | to the front in defense of the main tenance of that Institution. and backs up his argument with the fol- lowing sentiment:
 Those citizens who believe the
 Board of Control is not good thius | for the territory and who made a specially of its condemnation during the campaign should specifically state where this Board Is injurious to the taxpayer of the territory. Le, them consider the following facts:
 The creation of the Board of Con trol abolished twelve commissioners, three secretaries and treasureTs, as well as some other sinecures, Tn all not less than eighteen officials, every one of which were receiving salaries or per diems, and all the cOmmiss- toners mileage amounting in all 0 more than $25,0O0 annually. All oi the work of these commissioners and their secretaries and their sub ordinates Is done by the Beard of | Control, with two extra appOlDtses. The citizen member of the Board and the secretaries of the Board al a total cost to the territory not to exceed 5000 annually. The auditor and governor are salaried officials and receive no extra compensation as members of the Board.
 The objection that has been urg- ed that the eentralizatIon fl ali these official duties in one board constituted as it is today gives the governor too much power. This Is not a valid objection, as he exercis- ed much greater power under he old regime than now, for under the old system he appointed the ccm- missloners of four distinct boards, also their secretaries and other sub ordinates, every one of whom was as much under his control and subject to his removal as the auditor or the citizen member of the Board. The governor exercised more power iuaS- much as he formerly appointed this large array of officials, and nr W but one, the citizen member of the boaA1, as his auditor is an ex-officio n nber of the board.
 This board of control can and does perform every duty these re- spective boards performed in not to exceed ten days ln each quarter. The saving to the territory Is not less than S25,0O0 annually. Agaja, if there IS any peculslon or ais honesty of any kind in the manage ment of the territorial institutions it can be more readily discovered under the board of control than II fifteen or more officials were re- sponsible.

The Big Copper Camp 'iIding Up
 Rapidly.

From the Repor' of tue I7th, we giesu the follow
 William Reed, one :he best kn1wn old timers" in L. territory, was found dead in his room Tuesday noon. \ too intimate acquaintance with John Bsrleycorn is the cause assigned for his death.
 Billy Bisnsenship, for many years a peace officer at Phenix, has been appointed nightwatehmsn by the company, and Sheriff Rufner has appointed him deputy sheriff. Mr BIankenship comes highly rec commended.
 The foundation of Hoover & Cor diners new building Is progressing nicely, and We predict when this building is completed, neither fire. wiud or rain will prevail against it.
 Jake Marks, the pleasant and genial liquor man of Prescott, is taxing in the sights of Jerome, and dOing a little business on the side.
 Gen. Cook Is putting up build ing next 10 Knobloek's transfer office for a jewelry store. We welcome GsO<ge 10 our business community.
 The unexpected departure of Dr. E. T. Cody and family is a source of much regret to their host of friends. For some time the dOAtor's friends at Prescott have urged him to leave his large and increasing practice here and take up his work among them. This he was persuaded to do at a sacrifice, as his wife's health was not good here. However, we feel that the good people of Pres colt have gained by our loss and that they who do not already know. of Dr. Cody's ability as a physician will not b. long Tn finding it out.
 IL IS currently reported that . certain young lady, who has been making her home on the line of the Santa Fe Pacific and who is now . visitor in Jerome, IS aooat to carry otf the junior member of 3 we'll es- tablished mercantile firm in this city.

 Within the next two weeks Je- rome and Prescott will be connected by telephone line. Messrs. G. W. Hull and E. A. Treadwell are having the work done.
