 Work is progressing rapidly on the construction of the Congregational church. W. T. Houlihan has plaster CTS at work plastering the inside rooms and has cement workers building the cement stairways at the entrances to the building. The belfry is also assum- ing shape under the skillful manip- ulation of the brick masons. It is hoped to have the building completed in time to hold the Thanksgiving ser vices in it if not even sooner than that.
 All along the line comes the good news that the voters of Yavapai county intend to make change in the offices of county recorder, treasurer, probate judge, school uperintendent and the board of supervisors. They have grown tired of being assessed S4. co on every hundred dollars worth of prop erty they possess, of being sued by officials for fees to which they are not entitled, of having their hard earned dollars spent for hauling rock on the plaza when the county roads in some places are impossible almost, and for hot air plants that the county doesn't t need any more than a wagon needs six wheels.
 Frank Jordan, the republican csndi- date for recorder emphaticaIly says that if he is elected to that office he will be satisfied with the salary of the office and will turn all fees received by the office into the county treasury. If this is done it will mean several thousand dollars revenue to the tax payers of the county and this certain ly should be a consideration to tax ridden people instead of having the county sued by democratic officials for the fees of an office to which they are not entitled, simply because of a tech nicality in the law The county re- corder's office pays 5000 per year. Don't you think this enough? If you do; say so, by casting your vote for Frank Jordan.
