HUMOR OF THE HOUR.

A story about lawyers is contributed
by western correspondent. Mr.. Bah
son, we will call him, was young
lawyer of the town where the court was
held, while the opposing counsel, Mr..
Carter, was II much better known attor-
ney of a noighboring city.
MIR. Babson was addressing the jury,
and, having explained point of law to
the jurors, he turned to Mr.. Carter with
the words:
isn't that right?'
Mr. Carter thought that he had very
verdant subject on his hands and with
smile of conscious superiority replied ::
II have an Office in c., and if you
have any legal problems that you desire
to have solved 1 shall be pleased to en-
tighten you for financial considera-
tion."
Not in the least abashed, Mr. Babson
drew from his pocket 10 cent piece
and held it out toward Mr.. Carter with
the words:
"Here, tell us what you know and
hand back the CHANGE

lowed the court joined. Youths Com

County Printing.

Last Monday the contract for the
county printing and publishing FOR the
current year was let by our Board of
Supervisors, G. 0. Anderson, Of the
Holbrook Argus. receiving the contract
for the publishing, while THE MAIL was
awarded the printing contract. For
the first two years OF the existence of
Navajo county we had District At
torney who was unable to distinguish
the difference between stationery and
printing. he claimed chat letferheads.
stub receipt books, licenses, even the
great register and election ballots was
stationery and not printing. He also
contended there was no difference be-
tween printing and publishing, not
withstanding the distinction Webster
and Worcester, standard authorities
on the English language makes between
the three. By his ruling, be Being the
legal adviser of the county officials,
the Board let the contract for the print
ing to parties outside the county, con-
trary to the plain letter and spirit of
the law governing the Board IN the
premises. But, we have a District At
torney now who takes the statutes as he
finds them, and is willing to accept
Webster as authority on the definition
Of words, who told the Board, when the
Question was referred to him; that they
we're prohibited from entertaining pro-
posals from outside parties SO long as
the papers published in the county,
complied with the provisions of the
statutes.
TO the credit of the craft of Arizona
we will say there were only two parties
within her boundary, and not one out
side of the territory: who had the mon
umental gall to subnldiit bids. These
same parties would kick worse than
"Texas steers if outside parties were
to come within their bailiwick and try
to take work from them to which they
are clearly entitled under the law

The Santa Fe Pacific railroad COM
pany have finished their large dam at
Walnut station. Fred Hochderfer was
the inspector of the work for the COM
pany. The first thing done toward the
erection of this dam was the surveying
by j. M. Vanderworker on the third of
last May, ard gctive work commenced
in June. The company did the exca-
vating and the Lantry Brothers built
the dam under Contract. They have
employed on an average about 300 men.
The company has also constructed
ditch and put in pipe to convey the
water from the dam to Angel stations
distance of six miles. The dam is 81
feet high from bedrock, and AZ feet
from creek bed. 1t has width of 6115
feet and measures 211 feet in length. 1t
has capacity enough TO hold water suf-
ficient to supply the conipany for two
years. The estimated cost of the struc-
ture is about 100000. The company
will no doubt receive an ample supply
of water from this dam, and will be
fully compensated for their enormous
outlay of money.-Skylight Kicker

The Farthest Yonder.

Oh, friend of other years,
Do you remember
Those glorious autumn days
When distant hill-sides famed
In all their splendor?
whispered, Speed us, love,
To beauty yonder.
Your voice was low and sadi
Those hills of splendor
Are far and steep, my own;
The light will hide ere long,
And darkness gather,
And we shall yearn for rest
This side fine yonder."
The years have Swiftly flown,
Alone with wonder
gaze upon the hills
A Masters brush has touched
With newer splender;
My eager eyes would search
Beyond the yonder,
And YOU in higher realms,
You do remember;
For through my soul feel,
Persuasive, sweet, your call
Thrilling and tender
PasT oarth's most perfect scenes
To farthest yonder.

A Washington dispatch of recent
date says: The Interstate Commerce
Commission has issued circuler to
the railroads, proniulgating the order
extending for two years the time within
Which the railroads shall equip their
cars and engines with automatic coup
lers and driving brakes. The commits
sion, in their order, review the testi-
mony given at the hearing accorded the
railroad and labor representatives Tie
arguments advanced are not discussed.
The commission, however, says: "Some
Misunderstanding and confusion ap-
pears to have arisen in respect OF the
question as to what carriers are subject
TO the provisions Of the act. Some ap-
pear to understand that their amena-
bility to this law is dependent upon
their being subject to the act to regu-
late commerce. 1t will be seen by ref
erence to the first section of the act in
regard to safety appliances that it ap.
plies to any common carrier engaged

Wallapai Charley made quite speech
on the silver question at the Kingman
Indian school last Tuesday, says the
Mohave Miner The Indians had asked
the Supervisor of Indian schools for an
increased ration of -four, and the Su-
pervisor in reply told them that they
ought to work and earn their own livs
ing. Wallapai Charley said that owing
tothe gold policy of Grover Cleveland
and President Mckinley the silver
mines of Mohave county were closed
down or were worked on so small
scale that it precluded the employment
OF Wallapais in that industry. The
miners could not employ them in road
building nor could they find employ
ment in any other industry in which
they were by nature fitted. II the pres-
ident would only give the silver miners
a chance the Wallapai Indian could
obtain employment and not have to ask
sustenance from the government. The
supervisor distributed coffee pots and
skillets to the Indians, but Charlie said
they were no use, as the Wallapais had
nothing to cook in them. Wallapal
Charley may be an Indian, but he is no
TOOL.
