THE next legislature meets at Phoenix on the third Monday in January, and few days prior to that time the NEWS editor will leave for the capital. Having recently been elected representative from this county we are. in the fullest sense of the word, desirous of "rep- resenting" the best interests of the people. Therefore we are desirous of receiving suggestions as to needed legislation, that we may be instru- mental in bringing it about. It is impossible for us to go about over the county asking each man we meet if he has any suggestions to offer. and for that reason we now ask that anyone having anything to offer hand it 10 us before the time stated above.

TODAY at Flagstaff the board of supervisors hold the final meeting of the year, at which time the books will be turned over to the incoming members, who were elected at the recent election. While the NEWS has at times criticised the official acts of the board which retires to- day, the criticisms have been made in good faith and were in no sense personal attacks on the men who were endeavoring to look after the county's business. They made mis- takes; we are all liable to make mistakes. The incoming board may make them as well, but we feel and trust they will avoid many. The old board did some good work for the county and are entitled to such credit as is due them, yet there is general feeling that they have not done we'll in all cases.

As A whole, the cattlemen of this section believe that the present live stock laws are all right. While there is not so much need of the rangers in this section as in other portions of the territory, still the fact that there is such a body of officers, who will not hesitate to do their duty because of any friendly feeling they may have for wrong doers, has a tendency to hold in check those who otherwise might take advantage of the negligence or friendship of local officers, and for that reason local stockmen believe that the ranger force should be maintained yet awhile longer. at least. The ranger force has been criticised, and justly, in some in stances, over matters that have happened, yet the fact still remains that they have been of great benefit to certain portions of the territory in ridding it of bad and desperate gangs of "rustlers," and their good effect has been felt through out the entire territory. An exchange says that the effectiveness of the ranger force is readily per ceived. The last fiscal year shows 1036 arrests made, and over 65 per cent, or 673 convictions. This in cludes 157 felony cases.

County Recorder Harry c. Hib-
 ben and Sheriff elect Harry Hem derson were here this week from the county seat, shaking hands and receiving the congratulations of their numerous friends. Mir. Hib-
 ben, with that whole-souled spirit for which he is so well known. has kindly consented to furnish the NEWS each week with a list of in-
 struments filed in his office. This will be a most important feature in the NEWS columns during the con- ing year and will tend to save our citizens many trips to the county seat to learn whether certain trans actions have been placed on record. While here MT. Henderson in- formed us that he had made couple of selections as to the ap- pointment of his deputies. At Flag staff he will appoint w. A. Camp bell, who is said to be well qualified for the position. Here at Williams the choice, which is an excellent one, has fallen on Fred R. Fergu- son. Fred is a good man for the office; he is hustler, and will fill the office with credit to himself and MT. Henderson.

Today, at Flagstaff, the successor of John Lind, as assessor, is to be appointed by the board. of super visors. There are several appli- cants in the field, but indications are that the man will be A. T. Cor nish, who will resign from the board and in whose place George Babbitt will be appointed. If Cor nish is appointed the NEWS will have something further to say on the subject in its next issue.

THIS IS A GOOD ONE

Following our idea of last year the NEWS recently issued a number of cards, on the back of which was printed the returns of the recent election and Compliments of the Williams NEWS" The front called attention to the fact that our job printing is the best ever, and sug- gested that people read the NEWS and get the news. The other day when we mailed our months bill for county publishing to the clerk of the board of supervisors we, know ing that Mir. Flynn was but an oc- casional reader, enclosed one of the cards. On Wednesday we received the following letter:
 FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Dec. 27, 'O4.
 THE WILLIAMS NEWS, c. A. Neal,
 Editor.-Williams, Ariz.:
 In returning herewith your "com- pliments," l desire to say that the proffer of the same constituted the only inharmonious note in my en- joyment of the happy Christmas season. That you did not intend any Compliment" to me I am fully aware. That you are incapable of paying a genuine "compliment' to any one I fully realize. Therefore the only conclusion is that your object was mercenary one, and on that score permit to say that while I have been 'gold bricked" occa- sionally, my verdancy has not as yet reached the stage where you can deliver the green, goods on the strength. of your compliments" Keep them. They have a false ring Truth is more admirable than "com- pliments," and it will take all of your time to attain a true realiza- ton of it. THos. A. FLYNN.
 We must say that the above let ter came as a surprise. We knew that MT. Flynn had no love for us, but hardly supposed he was willing to give us such hearty recommen- dation as he has done. We are glad that our inharmonious note sounded loud enough to mar even a portion of his Christmas enjoy ment. He is entirely correct in surmising that we did not intend him a compliment; certainly his record as clerk of the board would not warrant it; neither would the remarks he so thoughtfully made relative to us at Flagstaff on the closing night of the recent cam paign. He is correct again in think ing that our object was mercenary one; we had no other; but in his case it seems that our postage stamp was wasted. He admits his yer dancy. Webster's definition of yer dancy is "greenness, rawness and inexperience," but we didn't sup pose Flynn would admit to all these faults after the great bluff he has made in trying to act as clerk of the board He says our compli- ments have false ring; we plead not guilty to ever having paid him one, and repeat with him that truth is more admirable than compli- ments." And just think! we have been telling the people the truth as to his ability for the position he holds, and now he comes forward and admits his "verdancy."
 And we surmise this man has aspirations for the county deputy district attorneyship. We'll
