record of the board concerning the
United Verde matter brought before
the court in order that the legality of
the compromise might be tested. S.
l.. Pattee, now assistant district at
torney, CO operated with Mr.. CLARK in
the suit. E. E. Ellinwood, not dis
trict attorney, acted for the board of
supervisors. A vigorous legal battle
ensued, with the result that Judge
Sloan finally decided that the board
of supervisors had exceeded its juris-
diction in making the compromise,
anc that it was null and void.
1t would seem that if the board
really had the interests of the county
at heart, it would have been content
to abide by Judge Sloan's decision.
The judgment was not a money judg-
ment against them; it only declared
one of their official acts void. The
only party really affected by the
judgment was he United Verde COM
pany, because Judge Sloan's decision

Immediately took an appeal to the su-
preme court. The brief was filed late
in December last by Mr.. Ellin wood,
who had IN the meantime been elected
district attorney. 1t was understood,
all through the campaign, that if Mr..
Ellinwood was elected, he would take
no further part in that case. Yet the
record shows that he signed and filed
the brief for the board late in Decem-
Der, and the record shows that in
January, the present month, and after
he had qualified as district attorney,
he filed written motion in the SUI
preme court. requesting that Messrs.
Herndon u Norris be substituted as
attorneys for the board in his place.
Messrs. Herndon & Norris, be it re-
membered, are the regularly retained
attorneys for the United Verde.
1t seems, that Mr.. Ellinwood must
have attempted this substitution on
his own authority, as the board OF
supervisors, on Tuesday last, fled
resolution in the supreme court to the
effect that Herndon y Norris had new
er been retained by them, and had no
authority to appear in their behalf
This resolution was read to Mr.. Nor

The case was argued in The supreme
court on Tuesday last by Mr.. Clark
for the territory au! county, and
brief statement was made by Mr.. Nor
ris for the supervisors-or for the
United Verde, as the case may be,
and the case was then ordered by the
court to be submitted on briefs.

Funny how some folks hold mirror
so that it always reflects the image of
some one else than the fellow holding

Miss Greenburg, a very popular
young lady who recently closed term
of school at Crown King and who for
the past two weeks has been visiting
in Prescott, the guest of Mrs. j. f.
Daggs will open a term of school at
Del Rio. Miss Greenberg has acquired

we're being cared for by Mrs. Leavell s
mother.
The plaza gardener is making a de
cided improvement in the looks of
that place. Where the unsightly and
ungainly pile of rocks formerly stood
with the weeds growing up through
the heap, is now a beautifully laid
out plat which is being planted to
roses. Across the walk is another
plat, which will be planted entirely to
carnations among the number which
have been ordered for this being the
famous Lawson carnation.
Lester jackson has returned from a
visit to the Silver Bell mining camp
in Pima county. He brought with him
some specimens of ore from the famous
Old Boot mine, which will go thirty
two per cent in copper. He says the
Imperial company has opened up a
large body of ore in this mine and are
engaged in developing it on an exten
sive scale. They are shipping two
hundred tons day, which is taken
out from the development work alone.
H. VIM. Stephens came up on yes
terday' train from the White Picacho
country, where he has been for the
past month looking after the interests
of the Picacho Blanco Mining COM
pany, of which he is the general man
ager. While there he had the annual
assessment work done on the property.
While the property has been lying
kind of dormant for some time, Mr.
Stevens says that active work will be
started soon on the mines on quite an
extensive scale. He says that the
country is 10 liking fine in that section
since the recent storms and the out
look is generally good.
Fred c. Kingsbury has resigned his
position as assistant general manager
of the Crown King Mines company
and left yesterday. with his wife for
Columbus, Ohio, where he has accept
ed more lucrative position than the
one he just resigned. Few men have
ever come to this section and won their
way to the hearts of those with whom
they became acquainted as did Mr..
Kingsbury during his brief sojourn in
this county. Coming here an entire
stranger he leaves a host of friends and
we'll wishers in Prescott and Crown
King. He is young, bright, able, en-
ergetic and courteous and whom to
know is to love and respect and his 60
ing from here is universally regretted
by all who knew him. He is made of
the material that the progressive west
wants in It's citizens and the more
we can get of them the more rapid
will be our progress.

more than once given of his means to
further Negro education. In this is

HERE'S OURS.

Among the New Years resolutions
which The Statesman has taken is
one to swear anew its allegiance to
the principles of republicanism. We
believe in the vesting of supreme au-
thority in the national governemnt; in
good money; in the protection Of the
industries of this country from un-
due competition with foreign coun-
tries; in the destiny of this great
country of ours as the light Of the
world, protecting the oppressed in our
own hemisphere and across the ocean
in the Orient; in the superiority of the
active, aggressive principles of repub-
licanism over the passive government
of democracy. We are 50 sure that
there is enough of old Adam in man
kind and that it won't go right with
out intelligent and forceful direction
that we go further and apply the same
doctrine to our own party. In short,
while we are republicans and, all re-
ports to the contrary Notwithstanding,
have given support to II in degree
that no other race paper has in this
state, We feel that whenever It de-
serts the standard which II raised in
1856, It deserves the big stick. Our
allegiance to the race is strictly in
keeping with the genius of the repub-
lcan party, for it is the party of equal
opportunity, OF progress, Of "all men
up, not some Inen down." and it is
prima facie evidence to us that when
the party and our race love disagree
the party is wrong.
Campaign lies are hard to catch and
Impossible TO refute. We will merely
say in passing that all the stories OF
US that we we're actuated BY financial
motives when We opposed the election

Look around you, first in your own

neighbors, and see whether there be
not someone whose burden you can
tighten, whose cares you may lessen,
whose little pleasures you may pro-
mote, whose little wants and wishes
you can crafty. Giving up cheerfully
our own occupations to attend to
others, is one of the little kindnesses
and self-denials. Doing little things
that nobody likes to do, but which
must be done by someone, is another.
1t may seem to many, that if they
avoid little unkindnesses, they must
neceearily be doing all that is right to
their family and friends; but it is not
enough to abstain from sharp words,
sneering tones. petty contradictions,
or daily little selfish cares; we must be
active and earnest in kindness, not
merely passive and inoffensive.

OPINION OF JOHN c. BELL
In Regard to the Contract Sub
mftted by the Mpnfezuma
Water & Land Company


Cortez, Colo, May II. 1905
To the Montezuma Valley Irriga-
tion District:
! My Dear Sirs:-I have looked
over casually the proposed coptaFc,
between you and the Montezuma
Water and Land company for the
sale of the ditch properties of the
later company to your district. In
my Judgment this contract would
result in the water ushers of the
District paying $7oo,poo Tor the
Company's ditch system in said
county, except main No. east Of
the great cut, with the system so
improved by rebuilding the dam
and head gate at the intake of
canal and SO timbering or retim-
bering the tunnel as to stop the
carrying on the completion of the
Narraguinnip lateral, the compile
tion of the East High Line and
Rocky Ford latterals, the compile
tion Of the Hermano, Lone Pine,
May & Aric Keree laterals and
showing enough water to supply
annually 1000, 200 cubic feet of
water for each 80 acres of irrigable
ground now in the district or which
may thereafter be added thereto.
The work herein is to be done
according to the recognized stand
ards of engineering. In particu-
larizing the contract features of this
contract at page 4, there appear
these provisions;
First-And immediately upon
said bonds being in readiness for
delivery as above provided, the
first party shall deliver said deed
to the second party, and the second
! party shall deliver to the first party,
the amount of $2oo, 900 of said
bonds, and cause the remainder of
said bonds to be placed in escrow
to be delivered up to the first party
as follows: Upon the completion
of the timbering tunnel and build
ing new head gate and dam at in
take $4,000. Upon completion Of
new Narraguinnip lateral $4,000.
Upon completion of East High Line
and Rocky Ford laterals Sos, 900.
Upon completion of the Narraguin-
nip reservoir $40, 900. Upon COM
pletion of the other storage $40, 900.
Upon completion of the Hermano
Lone Pine" May and Aric Keree
laterals $50, 900.
Upon the completion of all other
work required hereunto and full
performance by the first party here
under, $4,000.
While not saying so in direct
language the necessary inference
must be drawn from this contract
that the original system as it now
stands is worth $500, 900. That to
timber the tunnel, build new
dam and head gate at the intake is
worth $4,000. That to build the
Narraguinnip lateral is worth $685.
