lN ANOTHER column will be found a long article from Hon. Ben R Clark, clerk of the board of supervisors, in which he attempts to create the i'm pression that the expenses of county government for the past two years has been only in keeping with the in- creased population. In this there is a wide Geld for argument between Mir. Clark's contentious and the re- port of the grand jury, which cer- tainly created the impression that the affairs of the county, in several branches, were not administered in 8 careful or business like manner. The grand jury was composed of some pretty good people, but of course it IS not an iufallible body, and besides. it's time was too limited to more than skim over the affairs of the county However, the ERA does not agree with MT. Clark that the increase of popula- tion has been in proportion to the in- crease of taxable wealth. While it is true that there has been slight in- crease in population in the eastern end of the county, is il not also q fact that there has been a decrease down the valley? The taxable wealth has increased almost Sl ,00O, 900 during the wears l903-l904 which is certainly out of all proportion to the increase of population. It Is not the intention of the ERA to misrcpresent the facts in any particular. neither will il in- tentionally do any man an injustice. The object of the discussion of these matters at the present time is with the hope of awakening a sentiment of reform throughout the county, which might be the means of giving us a more economical government. Taxa ton is high. and the county as n whole is in anything but a prosperous worst drouth in many years. The cattle interests are already suffe ring and the farmers are confronted with almost a certain crop failure. If Mir. Clark can suggest any remedy for existing conditions the ERA would be pleased to hear from him. With in- creased taxable values We have right to expect a decrease in the tax rate,

A HERO IN STRIPES.
Convict Buck Offered His Life to Pre-.
 vent Prison Outbreak at Yuma.

Convict Buck who was serving a life sentence for a murder committed at Globe two years ago, i= the hero of the recent attempted break for liberty made at Yuma under the guidance ot Tn rec Fingered Jack. one O. the strikers sentenced last summer from this county. Convict Buck will doubtless be pardoned, and should be pardoned for the good of the service
 Buck came to Globe from California, where his reputation, while not exactly vicious, was far from good.
 where he was accused Of crooked transactions in business affairs, and also Of dcser'ing hIs family. He was arrested at Globe nearly three years ago for most revolting murder. The rial brought out the facts that he was employed by ] butcher named Oscar L. Stanley. One day d China man paid bill to Stanley amounting to several hundred dollars. That evening Buck drank heavily and dur ing early morning hours he broke into the butcher shop, in the rear Of which Stanley slept. 4 terrific struggle en- sued. Stanley reached for knife and Buck snatched up steel cleaver, which he sank into Stanley's head People passing on the street heard the noise of the struggle and Buck was caught, red with .he blood Of his em- ployer, as he climbed out Of the win dow with the money stuffed in his pockets. The evidence was conclusive and Buck was given life sentence in the territorial penitentiary at Yuma.

AN ITEM is going the rounds of the press to the effect that the Santa Fe survey, under the supervision of Mir Secar, has just established the fact that the New Mexico Arizona line is just cue and one half miles off. h. stead of being west of Luna. it is about one mile east. and Arizona is entitled to about one mile more land than she has hitherto claimed. This IS the first intimation the people have had that the Santa Fe had survey ing corps in the field north of Clifton. Perhaps the Santa Fe will make a connection via the Frisco river be- tween Its main line west from Albu- querque and its proposed new line from Whitewater to Phoenix.

JUDGE K ENT at Phoenix, last week. decided that debt for gambling could not be collected. The case be- fore him was that of Gibson vs. three months ago and was the result of a horse race between GibSOn's Belladonua, and J. Cottrell's Lottie sparks. These horses were matched by their owners for a quarter mile race. Cottrelfs horse went under the wire al the judges stand first and the judges of the race pronounced that animal the winner Gibson, who up until that time had borne the reputa- ton of being d game sport protested that his horse had been fOuled by the iOcky on the other horse during the finishing jumps of the race. But the judges die not allow the claim. Then Gibson forbade the stake holder giv- ing up the money. The whole sum was Sl5OO but only half of this was the money Of Gibson, as Charles Will Hams put up the other S750. Then Gibson took the case to the district court on the grounds that Goldman had in his possession S750 belonging to him. The ease was argued some time ago, but was not decided until last week
