THE fire Monday evening once more has brought to mind the shortage of water when needed for such purposes. The present water system supplies sufficient for all household purposes but when there is fire it is different. Something should be done. The town should either put in a water system or adopt the plan suggested by Engin- eer Girand over year ago whereby permission could be secured from the Santa Fe to tap their large reservoir. Then with a few large mains laid throughout the town, a plug on each corner and a goodly supply of hose an ordinary blaze could easily be extinguished. We desire to suggest this last plan to the council and trust they will give the matter attention as the town is sadly in need of protection against fire. When one thinks of the vast amount of water in the dam up the canyon and no connec- ting pipe line it is discouraging when 8 fire is on.

UP TO DATE we have noticed nc effort on the part of the supervisors or anyone else toward causing an investigation to be made in this reserve business and what may be the illegal transfer of lands back to the government. As in other county questions, the NEWS has taken a stand, alone. Neither of the Flagstaff papers have offered an opinion-either for or against the proposition. They are strangely silent, as in the recent argument relative to county salaries. We would like to see the Gem and SuI take a stand. Something should be done, as these transfers will eventually sap the very life blood of the county. Say something, gentlemen, and help agitate the matter.

THE Hearst party arrived here yesterday morning as per schedule. and was accompanied on the trip to the Canyon by Hon. Henry F. Ashurst, who had received an invi- tation by wire. Like those who have gone before, this party's trip is too hurried, and will doubtless leave nothing but cloud of dust in it's wake-same as we would if we had the amount the special cost.

OBITUARY.

Charles Thomas Rogers, of Will jams, Arizona, who died recently at the home of his sister on Front street, says the Bath (Me.) ) Times, was a native of Freeport, having been born there seventy-six years ago. He leaves son and daughter, MT. Frank Rogers and Mrs. Nellie Rogers Stone, of southern Califor- mia; and sister, Mrs. Albert Sto- yer, of this city, with whom he has made his home during the past three years. During this time he has made great many friends in 1 Bath, owing to his genial disposi- ton and his interesting converse ton.
 Mir. Rogers was one of the oldest members of the Kennebec Yacht club and was often found there en- toying the different games and en- tertaining the members by stories of his past life. In his younger days MT. Rogers was a joiner and worked in the shipyard of the Houghton Bros. in this city. After that he became a successful photo grapher or maker of daguerrotypes, as they were then called. He feared this trade in Portland and then moved to Gardiner, where he went into business for himself.
 While there the gold fever came on. so in 1853, with his wife, who was Miss Julia Smith, of Surrey Me, and child, he started west. He stopped in St. Louis year or two, then a small town, whence he pushed westward in an ox-team, and his experiences before reaching California would make even the hardest of the present generation shudder.
 He was sheriff of Mendicino county, California, for several years and was engaged in the mining and ranch business all through that region. In the eos he settled in Arizona, where he established a large cattle ranch. He was one of the pioneers of that territory and helped lay out the present city of Prescott, which was for several years the capital. He moved to Williams, in the same territory, when there was but one log hut there. Today it is town of 2,OOO inha bitants. At one time he was postmaster.
 Indians were thick there in those days and his narrow escapes were numerous. Notwithstanding such a life Mr. Rogers was a most thor ough gentleman and beloved by all who knew him. He had travelled great deal, and only this spring ac- companied his daughter to Hamil- to. Bermuda, where they spent sev- eral weeks.

exemplifed in this case; and the in

that can be carried out in other

Mysterious Disappearance.

w. T. Bunney, the retiring Treas
urer of Inyo county, Cal, has been
missing since about December 26th,
last. Some days before that he went
to Sacramento and settled 1nyo
county's Indebtedness to the State,
turning over some $1,000. He re-
turned as far as Reno, where he was
last seen on the above date. The
Inyo county safe is locked and it is
therefore not possible to tell how the
funds stand. 1t is the general i'm
preston that Mr.. Bunney has met
with foul play. His wife went to
Reno last week to see if she could
get clue to his whereabouts but
was unsuccessful. An expert has
been sent for to open the safe: Mr..
Bunney resided in Mason Valley
some years ago, and his numerous
friends here do not believe him to be
a defaulter. and hope he may yet
turn up safe and sound.
