In the resignation of ]. H. McCor-

loses one of her ablest mining men.
| Since coming to the Judith noun
tains in the early part of 1901, Mr..
Mccormick has held positions with
these mining companies, his first po-
sition being with the Montana Mining
company, having charge of the cyan
ide mill at Whiskey Gulch. He re-
signed his position with this company
to accept the foremanship of the
Barnes-King mines. When the option
was given to John A. Drake and 9TH
ers upon the property of the Great
Northern Mining & Development com.
pany, with the privilege of test mill
run, Mr.. Mccormick was selected by
mutual consent of both parties In
terested to make a test run OF the
plant known as the Gilt Edge" When
the option was taken up by the Gold
Reef company the owners were SO
we'll pleased with his work that they
placed him in charge of the entire
plant as superintendent and made

them. In the end the fair and honest
legislator wants to do what is best
for his constituents, even at some
sacrifice of political advantage.
Not only does a legislator have his
party's interests to consider, but there
are personal friends and private and
corporate interests constantly appeal
ing for help or consideration. To be
honest with himself, aid his friends,
and be fair to the various interests
desirous of his support and at the
same time not disregard the inter-
ests of his people as a whole, is one
of the trying problems that has con-
fronted every member in attendance
on the Ninth legislative assembly.
Possibly this pressure is little strong
er in a new state than in the older
ones, but none are free from the sup
licant with an axe to grind.
In the recent legislature the Re-
publicans were in the majority in
both houses, hence will naturally be
held responsible for the legislation en-
acted. We believe the Republicans
have tried and have succeeded in max
ing the party pledges good, so far as
was in their power. The initiative
and referendum bill, the primary elec-
ton bill and the fellow servant bill
have received the governors sigma
ture. Only the railroad commission
bill has failed, and in this the cover.
nor must share a part of the respon'
sibility, On purely constitutional
question as to prerogative.
Possibly some good bills were kill
ed; others were offered that represent
ed mere waste Of time on the part
of the authors of them. It is not the
number of bills passed that gives cred
it to legislative body, but the char
acter and importance of the measures
enacted to the people as whole.
The legislative body was compare
lively free from cranks and extremists
Conservatism prevailed in bott
houses, hence the absence Of freal
legislation that would work injury tt
the state. AS to the honor and in
tegrity of it's members one of the Hell
ena daily papers tells the truth In thu
following:
"A gratifying fact is that the Nintf
legislative assembly has been abso
lutely free from corruption. Durinl
the two months that its session ha'
been in progress not the faintest sug
gestion of bribery or attempt at brln
cry has been heard. Doubtless that Il
due to the fact that it was well know
that the membership of both senat'
and house was of the highest type 0
citizenship. Men with desires In thei
minds and money in their pockets re
allied that swift retribution would To-
low the approaching of a senator Q
a representative. For once in its his
tory, Montana may boast legislator
that has come through the sixty-da
task without a scandal Of some sort.

 Harcourt, as has been mentioned, is a man who acts like a gentleman of culture. He said that the life he had been living has had a great fascina- ton for him. He had had numerous opportunities to get into remunerative business but he had not been able to abandon the flowery path on which he had set out. His earnings averaged $2G,00O a year but he had spent it like a prince. Said he: "In these seven teen years I have never robbed a. widow or an orphan. Money sharks and usurers have been my speciality I have always avoided financial transac- tions with those who could not afford to part with their money"
 HarcoUrt said that since his arrest lie had been offered a handsome posi- tion in q mining enterprise and he said that he would accept that or some other on his freedom from his present embarrassment. Though he had never been violator of the law his method of living he had become convinced was l ot the best in the long run.

KENT COUNTY, HE.
It Is Proposed to Give Part of ArOOs-
 took an HOnOred Name.

A new county is to be created in Maine, and the papers of the Pine Tree state are suggesting that the new subdivision be called Kent county, in honor of the famous governor, who was so popular that at his second cleo tion the people, according to a world known coupiet, went heIl-bent' for him. The suggestion of the Maine pa pers will probably be carried out, and the fact is of interest in Arizona be- cause ATizona's highest judicial officer, Mir. Chief Justice Kent, is the son of Governor Kent. Discussing the sub ject of the new county, the Bucksport News says:
 "The talk of dividing AroostOok coun- ty suggests to many that Kent would be q very appropriate name. since former governor of Maine and a su- preme judge of the state was Edward Kent. who was -born in Concord. Y. H., Jan. 8, 1902, and graduated from liar ward in 1921, when but 19 years Of age. Among his classmates were Ralph Waldo Emerson, Josiah Quincy, Charles W. Upham and Edward c. LorinS. His mother was a sister Of Prentiss Mullen, the first chief justice of Maine. He came to Bangor in 1924 and in 1886 was the second mayor of that city. He was twice governor of Maine-in 1888 and in 1S4O. In S41-42 he was a member of the commission to settle the r1ortheastern boundary of the state, which marks the northern and eastern outline of the county Of Aroostook-to which important work he brought great learning and a just and luminous judgment. Later he was a United States consul abroad and for
 
 the supreme court of Maine. It was for him that they named Fort Kent which would be Q leading town of the new county"

FOR BETTER ROADS
Representative of Agricultural De-
 paIement Visiting the Valley.

Mr. James w. Abbott of Washing ton. D. C.. Is in the valley and spent last night as the guest of Dr. A. J. Chandler of Mesa City. Mir. Abbott is one Of four men who compose what is known as the good roads division of the department Of agriculture The work of this division is mainly educa- tional The value of good roads is rec ognized by the government and is be- ginning to be to a great extent by the people of certain sections. The depart ment furnishes considerable literature on the subject and in every way possi- ble tries to give the benefit of it's ex- perience to those engaged in road building.
 There is a good roads association in Mesa City in which Dr. Chandler takes a lively interest and he has been in correspondence with the department for some time with the idea of hav- ing a representative visit this section. Recently Mir. Abbott was in Los An geles en route east from the northwest where he had been on official business and his instructions were to visit Ari- zona and New Mexico on the way back. It chanced that he and pr. Chandler met in Los. Angeles and made the appointment which MT. Abbott is now filling. It was his purpose to meet with the Mesa association last evening, return to Phoenix today and leave in the morning for New Mexico, via the Santa Fe.
 During yesterday afternoon Mr. Alp bolt visited the Water Users associa- tion and other places of interest in the city. He was drawn to the asso- ciation rooms for two reasons, one be- ing that the president of the associa- ton happens to be Ben Fowler" a former classmate at Yale. and one of the sort of men, said MT. Abbott, that no country can have too many of. But he was a little disappointed to find Mir. Fowler in WashiE gton instead Of Phoenix. The other reason was be- cause he says that wherever there is any kind of an association of water users there is the nucleus of a gopd roads association. for both go hand in hand in civilizing and building up Q country.
