There was almost a feverish interest
in the multitude that crowded the gal
leries, the Hobbies and floor of the House
of Representatives last night waiting for
the hands of the clock to point to the
hous of eight when the caucus would be
called to order. Everybody felt that
there would be something doing. 1t was
in the air, but while that feeling was
contagious there was a counter-feeling
of doubt as to whether tonight would
witness the close of the Senatorial dead
lock. And if tonight, the end should
come, there was even greater doubt as
who would be the fortunate man to win
the Senatorial toga~ In spite of this feel
ing of absorbing interest, more men,
bers were absent than usual. One hun
dred and thirty-four of the full number,
las, answered to their names, showing II
absentees. a few of these came in later

The monotonous roll-oall then began

funny thing happened on this ballot Mai.
Conley, who had been met on the street
by youth seller of tickets to the Red

please the seller e slipped it into his
pocket where he kept his Craig tickets
@ passed by the basket and, forgetting
his Red Mems ticket of about the same
size and shape put his hand in his pocket
for a Craig ballot. Without looking at
it, Mai. Conley dropped the ticket into
the basket. 1t proved to be the ticket TO
the Red Mems Bazaar, and when the
boys holding the ballot told the Major
of his mistake he joined in the quiet
laugh, and fastened to substitute a Craig
ballot.

Arrangements Are Being Made to Put in
an Electric Power and Lighting

The Wickenburg Mining and
Smelling Company is pushing work
as rapidly as possible on the con-

taking steps to secure a franchise
for a light and water system for
the city of Wickenburg, They have
encountered water in their we'll at
about forty feet, and the supply
promises to be inexhaustible, and
hence they are arranging to supply
the town. The company will need
electric lights and power, and they
are going to put in a plant suhi-
cient to supply the town as we'll as
themselves.
Wickenburg may well put on
gala attire and plume her wings
for a great forward flight in the
near future. An enterprising COM

a town out Of this in spite Of all
the knockers in the field. A smell

confidence of our own people, but
we have failed to gain sufficient aid
to put many of our properties on
a paying basis.
1t has remained for Messrs. FL
der, Roberts, Starr and Rees to
show us the way to prosperity.
They can handle our ore, and will
make the ore pay for it's own
handling. They will make it pos
sible for the poorest prospector to
follow up his lead on any property
that carries pay ore, and there ale
hundreds of them in easy reach Of
Wickenburg. The smelter will put
them in operation; but the smelter
cannot make you help. It is here
just as any other business man is,
and it will meet your wants and
supply your demands in it's field
just as any ether business man
will meet your needs in his field.
They will let you. know their
powers and capabilities, and it will
remain for the miners and niue
owners to furnish the ore for the
operation of this enterprise, which
cannot fail to benefit every mine
in this community.
Let not the spirit of knockecigm
be raised against this enterprise.
Let the spirit Of progress and of
common sense govern your actions
and your words concerning this
movement. Give the smelter
chance and it will make money
for us all.
