1t Is a lie"
In this classic language County COM
missioner Ure took il on himself to defend
County Commissioner keunard. whom IRE
said had been called a CRATER.
IRE and kennard entertained the Real
Estate exchange Wednesday with denials
Of current charges Of graft in connection
with the feeding OF county prisoners and
with an explanation Of the S5-cent-a-day
rate allowed by the Board Of County Com
mtssioners to Sheriff Mcdonald for feeding
and caring for the prisoners.
I want 10 explain said Mr.. IRE why
il is the board does not buy supplies and
furnish them direct to prisoners without
allowing the sheriff to do il and make a
profit. Il is because the board has no
power TO do under the law. The county
attorney told me less than ten minutes ago
that it hadn't the power. Attorney r s.
Howell told me the board had no power
to buy things direct, but only to compen-
safe the sheriff.
Explains His Resolution.
1T is a false impression that BY our
resolution Of last Saturday the sheriff is
allowed % cents for meas. This amount
is FOR meals, bed clothes. washing. towels,
soap, medicine, nursing and other things
which the law says the sheriff shall fur
nish. We have taken an average for the
last nine years and we ind these things
exclusive Of board. has cost the county
6i7 cents per day to each man. Careful
figuring has led US TO place the cost OF
food per DAY. allowing the sheriff a fair
profit at cSia cents Altogether this makes
IS cents. as compared with 53 cents for the
same things in 1904 when John Power was
in office. The cut amounts to $500 year
Some Of the papers have treated US
fairly when they understood that IS cents
included everything, but others have not.
Because there was some dissatisfaction
at our delay in passing resolutions. I viii
say the resolutions were before the board
by 10 o'clock Of the day after that or
which the judges completed the Jail rules
We worked up to Il o'clock Of the previou,

SECRET OF SUCCESS
 IN OCEAN FISHING
It Requires Years of Experience
 and---a Good BOatman.

Now that the summer vacation and the salt water tourist fishing season is about over. it is well enough to let the home folks into some of the secrets of the fraternal order of sea coast sports. It sounds mighty nice to send word back to the sweltering home folks that one has made a name for himself as a fisherman; that he has caught the biggest. or the gamest or the most slippery fish in the ocean, but there's nothing to it.
 It is a fine sport all right and its most beautiful feature is the assur- ance of success that attends it. The writer knows this from personal par ticipation for he has been initiated and after an eight-hour sail on the briny he returned all swelled up with pride and boastful of his achieve ments. But the snap is too good to keep. and the way of it is this:
 The first thing to do is to hire a gasoline launch. This is a good place to remark that that is about all there is to do. too. except to cook the fish when one gets home and it's easy enough to lounge around in a camp chair while the women folks do that When one hires the launch for fishing purposes il is understood that the boatman who goes with it is also a fisherman. He knows where the fish can be found and how to catch them. He also provides an ample supply of hooks and lines, boxes and baskets 10 put the fish in and all the necessary paraphernal.a. The only thing the tourist has to furnish is the lunch and the wet goods. and in the incident of which this is a relation even that was furnished by the other fellow.
 Arrived at the fishing banks the boatman announces the fact to the candidate for honors. then unreels the lines. It wouldn't do for the tyro to monkey with them for he would get them tangled up. One don't even have to spt on the bait in the Pacific ocean for the fish are so thick he can't help

DEATH OF MRS. DRAVO
 ON FRIDAY MORNING
Bereavement of Col. E. E. DravO at
 Preside, San Francisco.

Dr. R. E.. Lightburne received let ter yesterday from Colonel E. l.. Dravo in san Francisco, bearing the sad an- uncement of the death of his wife, Mrs. Catherine Taylor Dravo, which occurred Friday morning at the Pre- ,sidio, near San Francisco. He wrote also that interTnent would be made in the national cemetery at Arlington and that he expected to leave San Fran cisco on Sunday night with the body. No one was better known or more highly respected in this valley in the early days than Colonel and Mrs. Dravo, who lived at Fort Mcdowell, in this county, then one of the most inn portant military posts in the south west MT. Dravo in 1879 and 1880 was second lieutenant under Major Adna R. Chaffee then at Fort Mcdowell. and now lieutenant general of the army. re- tired. The first lieutenant of the com pany was H. M. Kendall, now Major
 ,. Kendall retired. and on duty at the soldiers home in Washington, D. C. During 1880 to 1882, inclusive, pr. Lightburne was post surgeon at Fort Mcdowell
 In 1879 Lieutenant Dravo was mar ried in Phoenix to Miss Catherine Fay Tor. sister of Mrs. Kendall, the officers at Fort Mcdowell and their families in those days being considered a very important part of Phoenix society. Mrs. Dravo is survived by two children, one a son. Charles Dravo, being now an officer of the army in the Philippines. The other is widowed daughter whose husband was killed in the Philippines a few years ago. She is now in Paris, France.
 The members of the Dravo family have always been considered Phoenix people though their homes have been elsewhere for many years. The lieu tenant Dravo of those days is now Colonel Dravo, chief quartermaster of the department of California with headquarters at the Presidio. Never the ess he has steadfastly chung to the interests he acquired while a resident of this valley and is now the owner both of Phoenix city property and a Salt river valley ranch. He also has a mine in the northern part of the county near Gold Hin, which he named the Catherine, in honor of his wife The bereavement of Colonel Dravo will be deplored by a host of his old friends all over Arizona.

catching them if the boatman just throws out his hook for him. The plan is to scoot the boat through a school of barracuda or mackerel, or whatever is desired and it is impos sible for all the fish to dodge all the hooks. When a big fish gets acci- dentally tangled up on ones line it is called a bite" and it is the proper thing to begin pulling in the victim
 This must not be done too hastily for the boatman is depended on to land the fish and if there are a half dozen or so participating in the sport they have to take a turn about for boat man can only do so much work in q day.
 If it chances to be a big fish, in order to be sure of landing him the gaff must be used. This little task is attended to by the boatman. Occasionally the lines get tangled, and in that event the boatman straightens them out. If a big fish takes away the hook, the ac- commodating boatman attaches an other to the line.
 On the day referred to ex-Mayor Gang of Phoenix was a member of the party, as also was Bush Anderson of this city. Charlie Osgood, formerly or Tucson. and five or six others from in land southwestern towns. MT. Gang caught the first fish and caught the most fish. He always does, for he se- cures a season ticket from the boat man. which gives him the right to sit in the stern of the boat. lie is there fore little nearer to the game, and he is such a harmless appearing person that the fish are not afraid of him. That he is a diplomat is proved by the fact that he has since then acted as q judge at the Coronado baby show and gave excellent satisfaction.
 Bush Anderson thinks he caught more fish than Mr. aGnz, but he could not be prevailed upon to say so. for he is extremely modest Beside, he had a glory over and above that accorded to ordinary fishermen jn that he was permitted to hold the wheel a little while when the boatman was other wise engaged. MT. Anderson has spent a great deal of his life on the water. all of it. in fact, except when he was on land or up in the air, and he has had some experience in turning an ice cream freezer. that came in handy in manipulating the wheel.
 Mention was made of the boatman being otherwise engaged. That meant that he was cleaning the fish in the DdCh end or the DOdls IOI that lS ple OL his duties also. MT. Osgood was the sorest man in the crowd for he had made up his mind to catch particular kind of a fish, and the only one he got on his hook got away again, owing to the carelessness of the boatman of course. The writer as might be ex- pected, caught the biggest fish of the day. but just as he was being landed a big sea lion snapped him off the hook This was laid to the boatman, also, who is paid to take the blame. He also takes the fish after the days sport is over, unless the fishermen hide out what they want to eat themselves.
 There is one other thing to mentiou. and that is the bottled joy. It is re- ferred to only to announce that the boatman IS expected to drink his share of it. and he generally performs this duty in the same patient way that he does all others. Taken altogether, !
