On the conclusion OF the programme
Prof. Bunch made a few remarks and
stated that he had decided to award
the prize offered by one of the trustees
early in the year to Millie Eyer and
Evert Furrey jointly. The prize was
five dollars and was to be awarded to
the boy making the best general record
during the year, the decision being
left to the principal. BY common con-
sent the baby show was the best part
of the programme. Exceptional merit
compels mention of Maude Furrey,
Henry Hawkins and Forest Furrey in
their rendering of characters which
they assumed. Maude Furrey possesses
a strong sweet voice and with instruc-
ton and training should accomplish
much. A recess was then taken DUR
ing which the girls prepared lunch in
the rooms below and the visitors
wandered at will in the recitation
rooms examining specimens of work by
pupils on the blackboards or ehatted
and rested as they pleased. To a man
who missed his breakfast the lunch
was a colossal, pyrotechnic success.
Places were prepared for over fifty but
County Superintendent Fulton was
there. so nearly half the visitors had
to wait for the second table. When
everybody seemed pleased with them
selves and each other several well
known after dinner orators were call
ed upon. Among those were Mr.. Full
ton. He spoke words of praise for the
work of past days and of cheer and
encouragement for the days to come.
Mr.. Fulton is pleased with our people
and we seem somehow to be pleased
with him.
]. o. Masters expects to leave short
ly for Indian Territory to get a slice
of the new land that has recently been

His parents. Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Bal
lard, left the latter part Of the week
with the remains for Andalusia, Ill,

L. H. Gooding, the local agent Of the
Santa Fe, expects to take Il months
lay off about the fifteenth. Among
other Things he will take trip to his
old home in Alabama 10 visit his par
ents, whom he has not seen for three

The recent election of the Water
Users association proves one thing that
one caucus is as good as another, other
things being equal Blind devotion 10
the dictates of caucus is worn out
fetch anyhow. President Fowler has
the right idea when he expresses the
opinion that caucussing should be eli
minated from the elections of the as
ISOLATION. Let candidates be nomln-
ated BY petition-one or seVeral-and
let the people express their preferences
at the polls That's where all contests
will be settled anyhow. Why try to
settle them in advance at straw cleo
tom
Your correspondent visited the Re-
lief mine Sunday with n party OF
friends. George Hamhn's hospitality
is as famed as the rich specimens that
have come from his mine. Everybody
who knows him honestly hopes that re
will win out. And the signs point to
an early fruitage of. his long years OF
waiting and working. He has force
of men preparing for the installation
of a mill and cyanide plant which is
due to arrive soon. 1t is expected that
the mill will be complete by July first
and George is planning a celebration IN
honor of the event to which all his
friends will be hidden.
Carl Punch intends 10 take the civil
service examination which will be held
in Phoenix on the I'D day of this
month The position for which he
wishes to qualify is that of stenogra-
pher in the departmental service.
Here's hoping you will arrive, lad.
From out of the sage brush and
wood of coyote land, his origin shroud-
ed in the kind obscurity of the sane
tum, floats the sad yowl of the Peoria
kicker. His historic preamble and
touching affection for high and noble
ideals denote that he is of the patriot
brood that daily rescues the ship OF
state with a hot air valve on case OF
tomatoes at the crossroads store. He's
a disgruntled gabazoOk sure, for the
voice of him would acidulate green
persimmon. Mayhap he is of heroic
mould. For would he not brave the
quicksands of public favor to rescue
any old plum? Or perhaps he is an
hireling and works his catspaw for
them that hath more sheckels than wit.
Any supposition is legitimate. How
they do take on, to be sure! Where
does it hurt you, dearies? Really, il
little boys will play with nasty old
edged tools somebody will get hurt.
Now, now, dry your tears. You
have this consolation: You've all the
honorable men" in the community
corraled and as matter of fact you
are the winners. It's purely a question
of the view point. Your opponents
seem to have won because they got the
votes. But you discarded mere sordid
