Stafford was held in Forester's Hall
last Monday night for the purpose
of considering county seat removal.
The hail was we'll filled with bust
ness men and other taxpayers.
i. G. Prina was elected chair
man and John J. Birdno secretary.
Chairman Prina stated that as peo-
pie interested on the other side of
the question were circulating the
report in Clifton that as soon as
the people ofSafrord got the assist
ance Of Clifton in removing the
county seat, then Stafford would
oppose county division, and as the
sentiment in Stafford and the valley
is just the opposite, this mass
meeting was called.
The following resolutions were
introduced by Mr.. TuttIo and
unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED; By the people OF
Stafford in mass meeting assembled
that the time has now come when
the County of'Graham has become
too large for its economical
government, and that the people
Of the northeastern part of the
county, with It's rapidly increasing
population and mineral develop,
mcnts, should not be compelled to
travel from sixty to one hundred
miles to the present county seat
for the transaction Of public and
private business: Therefore the
county should be so divided that
the public in each settled portion
Of the county can save much Of the
expense now incurred in the trans
action Of business at the courts
and public offices. We therefore
request Of the people Of the east
ern part of the county to cooper
ate with us in signing petition
for the purpose of bringing to a
vote the question Of removal Of the
county seat from SolJmonVllie TO
Stafford. In return for which we
pledge our best efforts to secure
the division of this county at Il
subsequent session Of the Legisla'
ture; and pledge our votes only to
such candidates as will work and
vote for such a measure.
RESOLVED FURTHER: That we
denounco those who have alleged
and circulated reports that all we
desire is to secure the county seat
and will then oppose county divis
ion, as falsifiers, who wish to pre-.
vent the question Of county seat
removal from being submitted to
the people, by misrepresenting
those who are making lawful and
and legitimate effort to that end
Graham guardian., 1902-09-12
SHOULD BE- CAREFUL.

"Col. Sam Price, Geo. jacobson
and John Blake, prominent citl-
zens of Stafford, are spending the
week in Clifton hustling signers to
a petition for the removal Of the
county seat from Solomonville to
Stafford. They are crowd Of
hustlers and are not overlooking
anyone. They are receiving some
encouragement, but as general
proposition the people of this Sec
ton are not favorable to the enter
prise. They announce themselves
as favorable to the division Of the
county provided Clifton assists in
the efforts for removal, but if Cliff
ton opposes removal then they will
oppose division. The question of
division will not be raised at this
session of the legislature. Two
years from now the Gila Valley q
Northern railroad will be subject
to taxation, and the east end can
afford to wait for division until
that time, as its proportion of in,
debtedness will then be much less
than it would be compelled to take
if division was to be had this
winter. When the times comes for
division the county will be divided
no matter who opposes it."-Cop
per Era.
Better give this matter careful
thought, dear brothers, and not
jump to Il hasty conclusion. We
have known people to overesti,
mate their strength. The people of
this valley do not oppose county
division if the people of the east
end desire it, but they do not pro,
pose to be dictated to on matters
vital to them and then passively
give the other fellow all he de-
mands as well. 1t is a well known
fact that if the east end Of the
county fights county seat removal
with a solid front that it will be
defeated. 1t is equally as certain
that if the valley and west end of
the county oppose division that
that will be defeated also. This
part Of the county wants the
county seat at Stafford. The east
end desires county division. If
county seat removal is defeated,
do the people Of the cast end be-
lieve for moment that the people
Of SolOmonville and their friends
would favor division? If they do,
they are badly mistaken, for if the
county should be divided the coun-
ty seat would be moved from Solo
monville as sure as the sun shines.
Better look at the proposition in a
sensible way and play fair,

If the editor Of the Bulletin could
remember from one week to
another what he publishes he
would not fall into 50 many errors.
But then when man makes an
argument on Il proposition that he
knows is not right he is liable to
make mistakes.
In regard to new court house
in Graham county, on Aug, lst, the
Bulletin said;
The GUARDIAN says the citizcus

look the fact that y new court
house will be Il necessity in few
wears, II is seldom that we can
agree with the GUARDIAN, but in
this instance we concede that the
| GUARDINN is correct"
The GUARDIAN has maintained
| the same argument right along
| that the Bmfm comedies to oe
correct, yet last week it came out
with the following.
"Thc GUARDIAN displays ignor-
lance concerning the condition of
! the Graham county court house
and would have people believe
that it is in ii tumbled down con
Edition and for this reason the
county seat should be moved to
! Stafford. The report reaches the
! Bulletin thatthis argument is being
used by those who are circulating
petitions asking thc board OF
supervisors to order a county seat
election The Bulletin would not
be doing justice TO its readers if il
failed 10 allow these deceptive
reports to go uncontradicted.
The facts are that the public
buildings Of Graham county are
now in excellent condition and
will accommodate every need Of our
ipublic Offices for ten years without
scarcely any repair. Graham coun.
tv is not now in need ofa new court
house now nor will not be during
the next ten years, and the repairs
Of the present one during that
time will not amount to half the
additional expense Of mileage and
cost of transportation Of prisoners
from the east end Of the county.
where three-fourths Of the crimin
al business originates, to Stafford
instead Of SOlomonville.
''When Graham county needs i
new court house the Bulletin will
insist that it have one which will
be credit to the county; one il
keeping with position as one o,
the largest and best counties il

before the end Of the next decade
Such IL building as we should ther
have will not cost less than $500
andit is nonsense to.tbin6 ofa cheaI
and inadequate building now
either at Solomonville or SalfOrd.'
All will admit that the present
buildings are capable Of standing
for the next ten years, but this is
not the point, Even now they
are not fit to be called public
buildings. They are not big
enough, nor do they present tn,
appearance that public building
should. Even though they arr
capable of enduring for ten year,
more, they are not much Of ;

The term eating crow" comes from
an ante Revolutionary story. A sol
dier of an English regiment stationed
in Virginia shot a pet crow belonging
to farmer. The latter entered a
complaint with the colonel, who SEN
fenced the soldier to eat the crow.
The farmer was left alone with the
soldier to see that he did it. After
the soldier had consumed portion Of
the bird he took his gun, presented it
at the farmer and told him to eat the
remainder of the crow or he would
shoot him. This was the origin of the
eating crow story.
