Next Tuesday the struggle for polit ical supremacy, from he presidency to the smallest precinct officer will be de cided. In the matter of these elections the sentiment is fast growing among the people that terms of office should be made longer aud that no officer should succeed himself. This year the disturbing influence of p' esidential election is less felt in business circles than at any time in the past, possibly on account of the similarity of the plat forms and lack of public interest. In this county the voter is quiescent and the results, in some instances, can only be guessed at. In the matter of candi dates, the woods are full of them, but the fight is between the two old parties just the same.

Many people gre preparing to take up lands along the Colorado, in the vi- cinity of Fort Mohave, as soon as sur veys have been made and the lands thrown open to settlement. It is pro- posed to put in system of irrigation above the old post, which will be sup. piled by current wheels and bucket el. evators. The lands above Fort Mo. have are far above the flood line and are said to be exceedingly rich in fer tilizing materials. There are several small farms in that section at present and more are being cleared off and prepared for seeding in the spring. At the Colorado Valley canal many tracts of land have been taken up and will be brought under cultivation next spring. Much of the lands have been acqui, ed from the Santa Fe land department, being part of the railroad land grant.

bank had entered the room where
Randolph Morris. was making his
agnt against overwhelming odds.
Some he recognized by an almost i'm

The faces OF the directors were pale
and drawn from tension.

10 check the rise by throwing all his
holdings on the market. In less than
an hour he hurled thirty-dve thousand
shares into the speculative whirl-
pool.
II was like stemming Niagara with
a straw. The price did not sag. The
powerful interests back of l.. a o.
pledged three millions OF dollars for
