 Joseph R. Treat, republican nom- inee for county treasurer, was cir culating around the town several days this week. Joe doesn't think he has a walk-away, and is doing some tall hustling.
 Sheriff J. A. Johnson spent Tues day in the city. Jim's time in that office expires on Jan 1, next, and as he has decided to quit politics, has recently been getting himself in good shape in the cattle business
 F. w. Smith departed yesterday for Prescott, where he and John Clark of Flagstaff represent the Coconino county delegation today in the selection of candidate for delegate to congress. There are several aspirants in the field for that job this year.
 Next Tuesday at Flagstaff the democrats nominate their candi- dates for the various county offices. We can see little way beyond the end of our nose, but we are not going to try and call the turn on all the candidates who will be nom- mated at that time.
 The republicans last week nom- mated two men from this end of the county-F. o. Poison and R. H. Cameron-for the position of supervisor. Next Tuesday the dem- ocrats make their nominations and will probably have at least one man for supervisor from here.
 Attorney Geo. w. Glowner of Flagstaff passed through here on Wednesday on his way to Phoenix. where, on Thursday, he cast the vote of Coconino democracy for Mark Smith as the party's choice for delegate to congress. Mark won hands down. He couldn't help it when this county sent an instructed delegation.
 Probate Judge A. E. Douglass, who is also republican candidate for re election, spent Thursday in the city, returning to Flagstaff that evening. He had come down to meet an old friend, W. H. Picker ing, professor of astronomy at Har- yard, who was going east on No2. Incidentally A. E. talked a few politics between trains.
 Harry Henderson, republican nominee for sheriff, came down Monday from Flagstaff and has already begun his campaign. He says he worked hard to be elected two years ago, and while a com parative stranger, only lost by small margin, and is going to work harder now, even though he is ac- quainted with almost every one.
 E. T. McGonigle and s. F. Quay, both of Flagstaff, spent Tuesday in the city. The gentlemen, who are in the employ of the Arizona Lum- Der x Timber Co.,, came down to inspect machine in the local mill and if possible learn why they were having trouble in the operation of a similar machine in the mill at Flagstaff. The boys talked little politics, too, but we won't mention that fact.
 The notice published in these columns by the two leading lum- Der companies of the county will no doubt be source of satisfaction to a great many people. We under stand that the practice in past cam paigns of distributing liquors among the employees of the camps resulted in great detriment to the men and injury to the companies business. In issuing the notice both compa- nies feel sure it will appeal to all law abiding and we'll meaning cit izens.
 It was a pleasure to us last Sat urday evening to learn that Harry c. Hibben had again been nom- mated by the republicans as can didate for recorder. There are others whose names we might men, tion, both democrats and republi- cans, good, substantial business men, who were likewise pleased. He is capable, obliging, and keeps the business of his office at his fin gers ends If elected this year, and he will be, this will be his~third term as recorder. That|fact cuts no figure. When aman who is per fectly qualified for an office signi- fies his willingness to continue in that office there is DO apparent req son why he should not be allowed and in fact requested and assisted to do so. MT. Hibben likes the
