Touring the World.

The entertainment given this after
noon by the Congregational Ladies'
Aid society, was a very unique as we'll
as pleasant affair. Besides the Gun
ion station" from which the tourists
left there were five stopping places on
the trip each one representing sep
arate country. The union station was
at the Congregational parsonage,
which was fitted up as a regular rail
road station with ticket agent, porter,
etc. The first foreign country visited
was Mexico which, for the purpose of
the trip was located at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. r. H. Burmister.
From Mexico the tourists made a
Jump" across the Atlantic to Ire
land, at Mr.. and Mrs. Julian Mil
lard's. Giving England and France
the go by the next stopping place was
at Germany, at Mr.. and Mrs. W. a.
DIake's. Thence the journey was
made via Mediterranean and the Suez
canal to Japan, Mr.. and Mrs. F. L.
Wright's. Owing to the time limit OH
the tickets the tourists we're not per
mitted to stop and view the pyramids,
nor to tread the streets of Constan-
tinople, or to visit Uncle Sans new
possessions in the Philippines but the
trip was made without a stop. While
two of Prescott's citizens, Mr. and
Mrs. Hugo Richards, are now visiting
that country, the tourists did not
happen to meet them, but proceeded
on to their final destination the Unit
ed States, represented at the home of
Mr. and Mr.. NJ. b. Hazeltine.
The trip "o'er land and sea" was
made in the same vehicle, a "bus"
gaily decorated with flags and hunt
ing. After getting their tickets prop
erly punched at the starting station
passengers we're transported to Mex
leo, where a short entertainment was
given and refreshments served. The
bus then returned to the union sta
ton, and took another load to Mexico,
and then took the first one to the next
stopping place, continuing this by
steps during the afternoon.
Each home at which the tourists
stopped, was fitted up in imitation of
the country it represented, flag, ETC..
and the music, refreshments and every !
thing pertaining to it was also in |
keeping with the country.

Arizona,s Industrial school will

Arizona's Industrial school will be
opened in a few days. While the
building will accommodate 100 in
mates, it is expected to open it with
about thirty. OF these all but three
will be placed there by parents OF
the guardians. The school is for de-
linquent children between the ages OF
eight and sixteen, although those be
tween the ages of sixteen and eighteen
may be sent there at the discretion Of
the court. As the name of the insti-
tuition implies, it is not prison,
not primarily a place of punishment,
but school, home, in which delin-
quent children may be held for not
less than one year or more than five
years, that the seeds of immortality
and viciousness may be thoroughly
uprooted and the habits of industry
and morality established. instruction
will be given in all branches of Z
common school education and in do
nestle science and manual training.

The committee who inspected the
poor farm and county hospital report
ed finding the wards neat and IN ap-
parent good order. The kitchen was
clean and the dining room presented
an inviting appearance. The report
says: eve counted the inmates and
found the number to be twenty six,
or three or four less than the number
shown by the books at the office of
the board of supervisors. We con-
denim the gross, if not criminally care
less manner in which this account
has been kept with the contractor for
the care of the INDECENT. The county
physician stated that be had no know
ledge of the number of patients at the
hospital. Kept no records of when a
patient was discharged or had left.
That he made all his reports from the
books kept by the clerk of the board. I"
The clerk says he gets his figures
from the contractor.
The report concludes: ''Thus it
appears that the only record kept is
that of the contractor and it is our
belief that patients have been and are
being carried on the books and col
lected for by the contractor months
after their discharge" The report
is signed by j. !. Gardner, I. B.
Carter and K. Fl. Burmister.
One Of the most important reports
of the subcommittee was that on the
office of the county recorder which in
part is as follows:
We have personally inspected this
Office throughout and find Recorder
Farley and Deputies Keohane, Col
we'll, Dotson and Butler in charge
The accounts of the Office for the
third quarter of the present year, as
submitted, including the accounts for
certified copies and abstracts of title,
we're checked and found correct.
We were informed that the accounts
OF abstracts and certified copies made
prior to July l, 1903, have disappeared
from the Office and no information as
to their whereabouts could be gotten |
from the recorder so that further ex-
animation Of thees accounts was i'm
possible.
A careful search through the Office
and vault was taken and numerous pa
pers and books found containing much |
of the INFORMATION sought concerning
the abstracts and certified copies
made, and of which no account could
be otherwise obtained,
The data and information so dis
covered has been carefully copied and
arranged and appears in the following

PROBATE JUDGE AND DISTRICT
ATTORNEY.

ATTORNEY.
The committee, appointed to in
vestigate the offices OF the probate
judge an I district attorney reported
as follows:
Sir: We, your committee, appoint
ed to investigate the offices of the pro-
bate judge and district attorney, beg
leave to report that we have investi-
gated the said offices and find as fol-
lows:
Our first attention was given to the
probate judges Office, which office we
found in perfect condition according
to our judgment, and Probate Judge
Hicks was very accommodating in
showing us the manner in which the
business of the Office was conducted,
and in the opinion Of your committee
everything is in good condition.
We next visited the district at
torney's Office and proceeded to look
into the affairs of his office to the
best of our ability, and find that the
amount OF business which comes into
this office, in the opinion of your
committee, justifies him in having an
assistant at all times. In our investi-
CATION we find that there are numer-
GUS cases sent in to the district attoI-
ney which compels him to take action
there, which never should be sent
up, but should be settled by the just
ice, which not only makes additional
work for the district attorney but
makes a large expense to the county.
1t is the opinion of the committee
that the affairs of the offices of the
district attorney are conducted in a
proper manner. and in so doing we
find that there is too much work for
one man without an assistant.
Respectfully submitted,

A telegram from Salt Lake says that
one hundred and two miles of track,
composing what is known as the Lu-
Gin cutoff across Great Salt Lake,
was formally declared completed on
Thanksgiving. The dedication of this
track, which cost the Southern Pacific
millions, but which it is estimated
will result in saving of more than
half million yearly, was the occasion
for the assembling at Salt Lake of
fifty of the most prominent railroad
officials in the country. The party was
headed by E. Fl. Hartman, together
with the heads of nearly all the lines
forming the great transcontinental
system of the Hartman lines. The
last spike, marking the completion of
the cutoff, was driven several days

quired in the majority of these ap-
plications.
The attached pages numbered from
sixteen to twenty four inclusive. show
abstracts made by the recorders
office during the period shown; this
period is somewhat limited. yet fur
nishes valuable and reliable informa-
ton as the showing is taken from the
original search notes; an examination
of the prices charged for this work
shows that no fixed rule was followed
and that the average price collected
was at least twice that allowed by law.
In compiling the estimates shown
in all the following pages we have
made no allowance whatever for the
form books of the office, but all work
has been figured as having to be cop
led in full; these forms reduce the
actual amount of copying from 20 to
80 per cent.
We find that the recorder has made
up and recopied several indexes the
help to do this has possibly amounted
to one during the greater portion of
the time, but the difference in the
| above item of forms would very much
more than compensate for this index
work.
1t seems clear that little if any of
the fees of the Office from making alb
strscts have been accounted for, and
that a great part if not all of this
work was done during office hours and
has been paid for by the county as
time of deputies on regular work; we
have thoroughly questioned the re-
corder on these points but his answers
are Indefinite.
We inspected the records of the
board of supervisors as to the amount
paid for running expenses of the
office, and attached pages numbered
ID, IA and 10 show copy of the items
found.
We find quarterly reports fled by
the recorder with the treasurer of the
county, these are not under oath and
do not contain itemized lists of fees
accounted for or collected.
The cost per folio that the county
is now and has been for some time
paying is from two to three times
what the work might be done for
under contract, and the work of the
office during this time might have
been done by two deputies with ease.
the average being but seventy two
(72) folios per day.
1t is also a very noticeable fact that
the first two quarters work of the year
1901 show a net saving to the county
of thirty nine (39) per cent and that
from then to the present time the per-
centage has diminished and for the
second and third quarters of the pres
ent year it is but seventeen 40 per
cent
Another condition that cannot he
accounted for is that for the year 1901
the total fees for recording being
s7S76.55, the fees turned in for
"extras'' were sslI.35, while in 1902
the fees from recording were 1862. 20
ian increase of nearly $1,000 while the
fees for "extras'' were only 54O9 80, a
reduction of nearly one half.
From the records and information
We have gathered, as shown on page
"a, it appears that considerably more
than $1,000 worth of abstract business
has been done by the office and that
bat little if any of this has been ac-
counted for.

everything falls due; Christmas

millionaire. But it is the cheerful
season of the year, though it is great
deal more joyous to give to charity
than to pay taxes. We love our form
of government, but it is slight strain
on our affection when we pass hard
earned money across the counter to
its accredited agents. We are not sure
that it is all spent on us, and we GER
