THE LATE SIM w. HASS.
His Sunday School Teacher Pays
Tribute to His Memory.

Death rides on every passing breeze,
He turks in every flower.
It's with a sad heart that we at
tempt to pen a brief tribute to the
memory of Sim w. Hass, whose death
occurred in HerOd on January 10.
He had been confined to his bed for
several weeks with a complication of
diseases. He had the best of medical
attention, and loved ones had been
|anXiously and hopefully guarding his
pillow, but when death came his
many relatives and friends were not
ready to give him up, for we all loved
|him
Sim was a consistent member of the
Baptist church and Sabbath school,
and twas in the Sabbath school we
knew him best and loved him most.
Providence alone prevented him being
N his accustomed place. His genial
smile, untiring interest and attention
was an inspiration to his teacher.
When our class assemblies on Sab
path morning words are inadequate
10 express how we miss him. His va
cant seat reminds US that ere long we
100 shall pass away and others fill
Jour places.
Besides a kind father, loving moth
.er three sisters and brother he
Fayes a devoted wife and two small
children, with a host of relatives and
friends to mourn his death.
1t IS one of LIES saddest trials to
part with loved one in the meridian
Oh life and usefulness, so beloved and
Ss99. greatly needed. Oh! the sweet
pllSStul hope of a blessed Immortality
o5!ond the grave. The family have
our ol! SIIncerest sympathy, and our tears
IIulngIe with theirs in this their sad
aoar' May God bless them, and may
mVy ever consider that Gods will
must be done and not ours.
Leaves have their time to fall
ana lowers to wither at the winds breath,
ana Stars to set-but all,
lAoolstall seasons for thine own, o. Death.

Appointed Railroad Commission
er. Some Political Gossip.
| Political rumor is still persistent as
to Hon, o. B. Stevens probable APP
| pointment as railroad commissioner
to succeed Hon. Pope Bro wn. Ac-
cording to the latest rumor, as given
by an Atlanta dispatch to the Sa-
vannah Press, there is well-defned
belief that Mr.. Stevens will go on the
railroad commission, and that if he
does former State Senator T. G. Hud-
son of Americas may be appointed to
succeed him as commissioner of agri-
culture. The dispatch printed by the
Press from its Atlanta correspondent
is as follows:
Former State Senator Tom Hudson
of Americas has been in Atlanta sew
eral days, and the politicians have
heard the rumor that he has been
sounding the waters in regard to the |
appointment of a successor to Pope |
Brown. tits said that he wanted the |
place, which is a snug berth for six |
years, but has become convinced that |
he has no chance,
1T Is believed that Commissioner |
Stevens is slated for the place, and |
that no one else need apply. There is
also talk that Hudson might be APP
pointed commissioner of agriculture
to succeed Mr.. Stevens in the event
that your Uncle lobe is made rail
road commissioner.
Hudson is lawyer and farmer
but as he would have to jump into the
race in about a year after his appoint
ment he will probably decline.
''There has been some talk of Colo
mel Jim Smith for railroad commits
sioner, but all such rumors may be
set down as without a basis. A cor
respondent to the Press has the high
est authority for saying that there is
no possibility of Colonel Smith being
even if he was an applicant
which he is not. The big farmer is
running for governor, and says he is
in the race to stay"

Waters Users Governors Reply 10
 COmpany's S35o,OOO Proposition.

The meeting of the board of govern ors of the Water Users association yesterday morning was not a very long one, nor was there much to be done, though there was prompt action on the single question discussed. As announced. the matter to be consider ed was a telegram and letter from President B. 4. Fowler to Judge Kib- bey and al supposed it was in refer ence to the purchase price of the hold ings of the Arizona Water company
 Mir. Fowler stated in his letter that he believed the Water company would sell out for $350, 900. He was not au- thorized to make any statement m be- half of that corporation, nor did he speak as one representing it. but from facts of his own Knowledge he merely offered it as a suggestion.
 After due consideration, the board instructed Judge Kibbey to wire MT. Fowler that the price was too high. The board made no offer nor other suggestion that could be construed as a proposition. There is current talk and it has been published that the government has estimated the value of the Water cOmpany's holdings at S25O, 900. This however, seems to be entirely unauthorized and how the re- port got into circulation can not be as certained.
 It is true that the employees of the government have prepared a complete inventory of the property of the com pany, but if they have ever figured up | its valuation the result is a state se- ! cret, or at least it has been kept from l Judge Kibbey and others prominent ] in the affairs of the association. That | is the work assigned to the appraisers appointed by the government and so l far as known they have not made any
 report yet. nor even met together for | that purpose.
 | It is true, however, that some local residents who have given the matter
 more or less study, have made a rough | guess at $25O,OOO as an approximate
 valuation of the property. Tn other
 words that is what they personally
 believe the valley could afford to give
 for it, but that in no way can be said
 to represent the opinion of the govern
 ment, the Water Users association, or anybody else in authority.

intendent to draw warrant in favor of the Arizona Land and Stock com pany for 8, 600, and he did so.
 Soon after that suits were threat ened against the trustees and the su- perintendent and board of supervisors further refused to supply in any way the deficit in the high school fund, caused by the withdrawal of the s3,600. There were various meetings of the board of trustees and board of super visors to see if the trouble could not be adjusted. An effort was twice made to procure bond issues, but they were voted down It was then pro- posed by the supervisors that the trus- tees sell the ground which had been purchased and turn the proceeds into the fund. It was understood at one time a mass meeting of the taxpayers would be called to authorize the trus- tees to do that. The trustees, how ever, took the ground that the land was needed; that it was a good pur- chase, and that it was worth more than had been paid for it. Finally suits were brought against each, the board of trustees and the superintendent. The actions were different in this: It was alleged in the suit against the trustees that they had embarrassed the
 
 of it to a purpose for which it was not intended; against the superintendent, this was also alleged, and it was fur ther charged that his action in issuing the warrant was misconduct in his ca pacity as an officer of the county.
 The defendants in the first suit de- murred on the ground, first, that the law. did not prohibit the expenditure of money raised by a levy on the Union high school district for such purposes as this had been expended, and on the further ground that the money did not | belong to the county, and therefore the county could not sue to recover. The demurrer was argued a week ago yesterday.
 It was sustained yesterday by Judge Kent as to both grounds in the case ] of the suit against the trustees, and as to the first ground in the case Of | the suit against the superintendent ] This decision is of such a character l that it leaves no way for the amend ] ment of the complaint in either lease | so that it is equivalent to an end o1 1 the whole matter.
 The effect of the litigation has beer ] to disclose a weakness in the law af- | fecting the high school. While in l this case, the trustees exercised good 1 business judgment, and got perhaps ] more than dollar for dollar for the dis 1 trict in the purchase of the land. some l other board of trustees might some | time exercise bad judgment, and 1 fearing an advance in the price ot i chalk, invest $3, ,600 in that useful ar | ticIe.

 Before the deal was completed, the board was advised by Judge Baker, district attorney, that the funds which had been set apart for the maintenance of the high school could be used for no other purpose; that the money which would have to be paid for the land would have to be raised either by a special lecy or by a bond issue. The board disregarded this advice and pro- ceeded with the purchase. An order was given on the county school super

The legal controversy over the so- called embarrassed High School fund, which has been going on for two years practically came to an end yesterday in district court, the Court having sustained the demurrers to the complaints in the case of Maricopa County against Emery Rays and other members of the high school board and the case of the county against A. H. Fulton, county school superintendent. The incidents which led to these actions are already well known. About two years ago, the members of the board of high school trustees bought of the Arizona Land and Stock company a tract of ground adjacent to the high school property, the object of the purchase being to ob- tain room for an extension of the school
