NEW OFFICIAL BOOM


 The administration of public affair. in Cochise county will pass into the hands of an entirley new set of public officials after January l. The only two officials who will continue in the offices now held by them are Frank Hare, recorder and F. W. Goo56odv, probate judge. NIT. Hare was re-elec- ted in November for the third time. Judge Goodbody is now holding the office by appointment, hut was elected in November by the largest majority received by any candidate.
 The new county administration will be in the hands and under the control of the democrats as the present one is. The democrats have all the offices with the exception of district attorney and superintendent of public schools. MT. Flannigan, who takes the office of dls- trict attorney possesses every qualifica- tion ecessary to successfully discharge the duties of this most responsible posi- ton. Besides being an able lawyer he has the advatage of experience, hay ing once filled the office of district attorney in Maricopa county. The office of superintendent of public schools goes to Prof. Rockfellow on January !. MT. Rockfellow is an ideal man for this position, having had many years experience iq educational work. With the exceptions noted. all the offices in the county will be filled by democrats.
 The democrats have the board of supervisors and two of the members are newly elected. Mr. J. J. Bowen. of Bisbee, being the holdover. The new members of the board are VI. M Riggs, of Wilcox, and c. 4. Taylor, of this city. Both are men of intelli- gence who we believe will handle the business in an economical manner and see that value is received for every dollar expended. With the experience which NIT. Bowen has gained in two years we expect to see the new board start of in the conduct of public busi- ness without any hitch. The board of supervisors can do much for the veal or woe of the county. The members of the board must bear much of the responsibility of failure or success of the county government. The old board now dissolved by the retirement Of Messrs. York and Pritchett can point to the fact that dUTing it's admin istration the warrants of the county have been advanced to par. whereas four years ago warrants were discount ed ] Q per cert; they can point to the fact that taxes have been reduced and also that one of tue best court houses to be found in Arizona has been pro. vided in ombstone, also to important improvements in the Jail and to a new jail in Bisbee. The old5 board is en- titled to congratulation. on the fact that @ grand jury after six months of searching and exporting were unable to point to more than some trivial irregularities, whereas a most strenu- o1s eEgrt was made to uncover a rest Of .uisuiry."
 Stewart Hunt. the new sneriG, will assume great responsibilities with the beginning Of the new year. To sue cessfGliy administer this office the sheriff must havo help and help of the right kind. Mir. Hunt will find that he cannot appoint deputy sheriffs who | will please e7ery body, but be should | go into the office with the deteTmina- tiou that his deputies shall be men who will obey the law themselves and see that law breakers are dealt with Many men have held
