both tax collector and treasurer.
To elect other than man with
q good commercial education
and an ample knowledge of af-
fairs pertaining to the Office,
would be unwise and unsafe.
The republican party presents a
candidate for the Office who full
fills every requirement, with the
additional and necessary quail
ficatiOn Of honesty and reSpOn-
sibility. Mr.. 0. G. Johnson, one
of the successful young business
men (the senior member Of the
firm of Johnson & BOwleS) of
Yuma, is the gentleman to
whom we refer, and his rOmin-
alton is conceded by everybody
to be about the Wisest one that
could have been made. He was
not a candidate and made no eff
fort to secure the nomination.
It came to hiu because of his
superior fitness for the Office.
He accepted with some reldct-
ancy, but having received the
nomination by reclamation, as a
good republican and worthy
citizen, refusal was out of the
question and Mr.. Johnson is
now in the field and asks the
suffrages of the people. In this
the Sentinel heartily and sincere
ly joins. 0. G. Johnson will be
the next treasurer of Yuma
county.

WOULD MAKE AN
IDEAL SHERIFF.

AS a rule little good results
from praising a candidate for
Office who is widely known in a
community, unless that candi-
date possesses genuine merit and
is deserving of such commend
alton. That is admitting, of
course, that newspapers some
times are either miSled or else
are not over-zealous in pre-
senting the truth in such mat
ters. AS to the latter, the Sen
tinel pleads not guilty. When a
wise and popular nomination is
made by either party, people
know it, comment on it-cOncede
it. AS the republican nominee
for sheriff, Will II. Buck is I'M
doubtedly a popular candidate
and will make an ideal officer If
elected, and in the interest Of
efficiency, honesty, economy and
good government, we sincerely
hope that he will be. He is a
young man full Of life, vigor
and ambition; physically superb;
cool, deliberate, quick to act
when il is necessary to act quick
ly, but governed always by rare
good Judgment and humane
ideals. Something of his life
has been heretofore told in these
columns. His record as a police
officer at the capitol and as
captain Of the guards at the ter
ritorial prison is such as to lead
to the conclusion that he would,
as sheriff of Yuma county, exc
cute the duties of that office in
a manner that would be above
criticism. AS d friend, he is
true to his friepds, and gener
osity is a part Of his nature.
Will Buck is not a braggadocio,
but quite the reverse. He is
cool under the most trying cir
cumstances, and though coura-
geous when courage is demand
ed, as aa officer, he has never
been known to act with imprud-
cnce or foolhardiness. His edu-
cation is ample to meet the de
mands of the Office and in every
particular he is especially well
equipped and endowed to make
model sheriff. VIII Buck
ought to be elected.

For REPRESENTATIVE.

Mr.. W. Fl. Lyon, the republi-
can candidate for the lower
house Of the Legislative assemb-
", was born in Wisconsin in
| 1871. Like many Of the best
known and sturdiest Americans,
Mr.. Lyons early days were
spent in hard work on the farm,
where the lessons Of frugality,
economy and honesty were in
stalled, which enter into and to
a large degree influence and
shape good character. From
the Wisconsin home fireside he
early emigrated to Dakota,
where he was one of the pio-
neers, and where he carved out
home and continued a tiller Of
the soil, with varying results,
later going to Washington. He
moved from Washington to .Ari
zona in 1895, locating in Pres
colt, where he engaged in bust
ness. Two years later Mr.. Lyon
came to Yuma and has remained
here continuously since. To his
credit, from business point Of
view, it may be mentioned that
he arrived here without a dollar.
He now owns a profitable bust
ness in Yuma and a good farm
in Yuma valley.
AS legislator we believe Mr..
Lyon would make a useful rep
resentative, and would jealousy
guard the interests Of his con
stituency and Of Yuma county,
because he loves his adopted
home and respects and is re-
spected by his fellow citizens:
because his own interests are
all here, and because he is hon,
est and capable of defending
and protecting his own. He is
comparatively a young man; has
keen perception, good judg
ment, an active mind, and I'M
doubtedly possesses the ability
to attain more than common
place distinction. Mr.. Lyon
should be elected.

customary heretofore. Still
more Important as bearing up

The unanimous choice of the

To be sure, the building of the

upon the election of delegate
to congress. The dam will be
built; but two years at least will
be required in building it. In

and owing to the prevailing con

are likely to arise requiring the

elapsed since the meat had been cut

have imagined that any life remained
in the extremities. But a young Dane,
noticing that the down-hanging head
had its mouth wide open, very fool
ishly inserted two fingers between
those horny mandibles. They closed,
and our shipmate was two fingers
short; the edges Of the turtles jaws
had taken them off clean with only
the muscular power remaining in the

SLAUGHTER AT PORT ARTHUR.
Stoesssel Recounts Staying 10000 Japs
Before Fortress.

Emperor Nicholas has received Gen.
Stoessel's official report of the desperate
four days assault Of the besiegers upon
Port Arthur from Sept. 10 to Sept. %,
from which it appears that the unoffi-
cial report from Chefoo was by 10 means
exaggerated. The Japanese displayed
frenzied bravery, but they lost 10000
men and their only success was the cap
tnre OF two redoubts guarding the water
works.
The Jauanesc prepared for the assault
by q general bombardment and then
launched their attacks simultaneously
from the north and west. Night and day
they fought under cover of a continual
bombardment from their siege runs and
finally reached the redoubts on the north
side, but only after the defense there
had been completely demolished by shell
fire from the west.
The Japanese efforts were directed
chiefly against the commanding position
on High mountain. which faces Pigeon
bay, slightly south of Fort Etseshan. The
mountain is 500 feet high and IL it had
fallen it's possession would have given
the japanese a tremendous lever against
the chain Of inner defenses. The car
mage there was terrible and eliminated
Sept. %, when the japanese succeeded
in reaching and occupying the Russian
armored shelter trenches, whence they
expected about the next day to storm the
summit.
During the night Lieut.. Poggorsky Of
the navy, at the head of a detachment OF
volunteers, descended on the trenches
and blew them mp with pyroXylin bombs,
producing a panic among the b~esciegers,
who fled, leaving the mountain side
strewn with dead.
The loss OF the water works was not
considered vital, as there is a fresh
water lake and numerous wells as well
as a condensing apparatus within the
lpfenSeS.
