mote the mining deal with a view of getting a railroad to the Canyon I sacrificed nearly all of my in terests in the mines to get the rail- road and had our old friend Buckley lived through the war the company that started it would have built the road through and 1 would have gotten my money back. In losing out on the railfoad I lost all I had invested. There is one thing l have left and that is about twenty thousand dollars worth of license and property tax receipts for money I have paid the county in the last 25 years. You say, what has these things got to do with it. They are some of the reasons why 1 think am entitled to your sup port on election day.
 Now, the reason I am asking you for your support at the polls is this, 1 would like to get my child ren in a higher school than we have here and if elected it will place me in position that I can reap benefit on the money and time I spent in getting the Terri torial School building that is at Flagstaff and thereby get paid in part, at least, for the money 1 have spent for the interests of the county and if I had the money now that 1 had when a member of the council of the 17th legislature, I would not be asking you for the office of sheriff of Coconino county, for I could take my children away and place them in college, but don't think I am asking you or the county for anything only what l think is right and what you think is right. As for the sheriff's office I know I can handle it as economi- cally and with as good judgment as any other man and if you think so at the polls you will never change your mind fin my power to fill the office correctly.
 This is the first time I have ever asked you for an office that there was any pay in and am not going to spend any money to get it, so if 1 lose 1 wont be out much and if elected I won't have to make it back out of the tax payers.
 l was a member of the Board of Supervisors one time but at that time it hardly paid expenses, so I was merely working for the people.
 As I said in the start, if I could have seen you all would not have written this. The Normal School is saving the people of Coconino county thousands of dollars every year and giving them a chance to educate their children without send them away from home, besides bringing others from outside the county.
 There is only one more thing I wish to mention. and that is on joint statehood. I would rather not get vote than be joined in one state with New Mexico. I would rather live in Arizona territory all the balance of my life. Don't for get to put the 'X" where it says { ).
 will say this, if I am elected I will not take the nomination again unless it is handed out with over four-fifths of the delegates, provid- ing it is offered me.
 Wishing you all success, I re- main, respectfully yours,

The Prince of India.

Those who have read Ben Hur, the
wonderful work of Lew Wallace and
seen it played on the stage should also
read the Prince of India by the same
author, deeply interesting book filled
with historical facts and word pictures.
1t is based upon the legend Of the
Wandering Jew, who was to tarry on
earth until the second coming of Christ
upon whom he spit as he was bearing
the cross to Calvary. The Prince re
juvenates every 100 years and is an
eye witness of the distructson of Con-
stanople under Constantine, by Mahom-
ct IL, and the cross goes down before
the crescent The work has been dram
atized and is prologue and five acts
requiring twelve important stage sets.
The range OF the drama is well indi-
Gated in the best of characters ana
stage settings. months Of prepara-
ton by the Klaw Il Erlanger forces
have practically completed the details
of the most wonderful play ever pre-
sented Six hundred people will be
employed in giving the drama which
wich will be- given for the first time at
the beautiful Colonial Theatre in Chi
cago. February 9TH. Those who
would see it, will have to make ap-
plication ahead for reserved seats for
the auditorium will be packed at every
performance.

There is Much Complaint.

There is considerable complaint on
account of the taxes being unequal and
unfair. Macy claim, that they were
assessed out of proportion to the values
placed on the property of others. All
will recognize that it is very difficult
thing to make an assessment that will
be satisfactory to all and those who
may think that they were assessed too
high or out Of proportion to other taxes,
should have appeared before the City
Board of Review and made protest and
in this connection, the writer will be
pardoDed be hopes, in making the
suggestion that tn ere be three assessors
instead of one and that all assessments
be made from view. All must admit
that the City Of Watertown is too large
to be properly assessed by single in
dividual and then one person may not
possess the Judgment as to values on
all kinds of property.

Joint Installation.

A joint installation of the officers
elect of O. d. Pease Post G.. A. r. and
the Woman's Relief Corps for the year
of 1906 was hell Friday evening at the
Post hall. The officers Of the Relief
Corps were installed by John Habheg-
ger, Post Commander, and the officers
Of the Post were installed by W. d.
Sproesser, senior post commander.
After the installation ceremonies, the
large company was favored with fine
instrumental music and very tooth
some luncheon was served by the
members of the W. II. G.. followed by
games and other amusements. o1e OF
which was box Of shelled pt anuts
and a large carving knife, and the
gentleman who could take upon the
knife blade the largest number of
peanuts and carry them the length of
the hall without dropping any should
have a prize. The prize was awarded
to A. E. Needham, he having the
steadiest nerve of any of the old vete-
rams.

Lecture Thursday Evening

Rev. w. j. Corr of juneau, lectured
Thursday evening at the English NJ. E.
church, his subject being Erin go
Braugh" which being interpted means
that the Irish are as good as the best.
The reverend gentleman is native of
Cork, Ireland, and is certainly a corker
as speaker. He kept his audience in
exceeding good humor by his witcisms
and quaint expression, which savored
of the land Of his birth and evidenced
his nationality. His lecture was very
interesting and his word pictures of
the Emerald Isle and its grand scenery
we're very fine indeed.

Civil Service Commission.

In the general competitive eXamina-
ton held throughout the state on
January 9Th, sufficient number of
applicants applied for positions as
clerks, bookkeepers and factory in
speotors to justify the belief that it
will not be necessary to hold another
examination for these positions for
some time. 1t is probable that another
competitive examination for the above
position may not be held during the
next twelve months.
The number of applicants N some
counties for the position of game war
dea was insufficient and within the
next two months another examination
may be held for certain counties.
The demand for attendants in hospi,
tails for the insane and feeble minded is
such as to justify the belief that it will
be necessary to hold another examina-
tion soon. Requests are being received
by the Civil Service Commission from
authorities in control Of county asylums
for names of suitabls applicants.
Thus far the Commission has re-
ceived an insufficient number of appli-
cations for positions as dining room
girls and woman to do various kind of
homework in the School Of Dependent
children at tSparta, School for the Blind
at GAINESVILLE, State Reformatory, and
in the institutions for the Insane and
Feeble minded. These positions pay
from $500 to $4,000 Il month and
give in addition to that a comfortable
home and maintenance.
The Commission is very anxious 10
secure a. good list of applicants for this
kind Of work and invites the news
papers to give this matter vide pub
icity.

Superior, 38,S61.
The total Catholic population of the
United States is given as 1861, 944
against -, 462, 1913 in 1904 an increase
of almost 200, 600 in one year.

RuCtion on Train.

Last Friday afternoon, there was con-
siderable excitement on the train
which left here at o'clock for Mil
waukee. Conductor White in collect
Ing fares approached a man somewhat
under the influence of liquor and asked
him for his ticket, He informed the
conductor that woman in the front
end Of the car had his ticket. He went
to her and she informed Mr.. White
that she did not have his ticketand he
went back and told the man to pay his
fare or he would be put off the train.
He again said that she had his ticket

foolishntss. The man then went to
he woman and they were soon engaged
in 2 wordy combat and soon be struck
the woman vicious blow on the head,
and struck her several times before
parties could Interfere. Among them
was chivalrous young attorney of this
city "a Knight-Errant, who grappled

Anent a Federal Building

Since the last issue of the Republl-
can the editor has been informed that
it has been the practices in the past of
the several congressman who have
represe ted this congressional district
TO introduce bills in the House of Re-
presentatives making an appropriation
for federal building in this city and.
then let the bill die natural death in
the hands of the committee on public
buildings to which it was Sreferred-a
promise made to the hope. to be broken
in the fulfillment. This city is certain
ly as much entitled to building as
any city in the state and more SO than
the cities half its size, where the
government revenues are not half as
large, and our member of congress
should exert himself in our behalf to
the extent of securing for Watertown
an appropriation at least, for the
purchase of a site as beginning, and
if there should be failure, the in
habitants should hold him responsible
for such failure, unless he can give
reasons that shall be satisfactory.

Mighty Good Advice.

An exchange, gives the following
sensible and wholesome advice to girls
and every word of it is true girls:
Girls, keep off the streets and stay at
home with mother. Some day, some
young man will want nice little wife
to meander with him down life's path
way, and if he has one ounce of gump-
,ion he will overlook the girl of the
street and go to some home where a
sweet faced girl is engaged in weather.

An Interesting Letter.

The following letter from Ned. Racek
70 his father will be of interest to his
friends in this city:
Daggett, Cali, Jan. II, 1906.
Dear Father
As | wrote the date
above, it occurred to me that | have
been gone just month today. 1t
doesn't seem that long. because the
days pass very quickly here. The
climate is simply great. Often the
wind blows which is not quite so
pleasant, but is good and bracing. The
wind blowing in the mountains sounds
just like a train approaching in the
distance. On the north boundary of
the ranch is the river bed and across
that is a chain Of mountains. The
river is rather curious business. It
is the Mojave (they pronunce it Maha-
roe), 1t seem that this river flows
along underground until it comes to
what they call dyke Chat is an out
crop of rock across it's cOurse) which
forces the water to rise to the surface
to find an outlet. AS soon as it passes
this obstruction it disappears again.
During its course it appears in a num-
Der of places in this way, and finally
empties into the Colorado. During the
spring freshets. the water comes down
so fast that it cannot all pass under
ground SO it flows the entire course
above ground as well. hence the river
bottom [ mentioned. At Albert's
ranch the river is about 20 feet below
the surface, so he dug a well and put
up wind mill. There is an outcrop
of rock on the ranch, where they built
a reservoir of concrete 22x3Sx5 The
mill pumps the water through 3 inch
pipe up into this reservoir. From
there, there is 1ume which carries it
to the highest point Of the land under
cultivation, from which point it is led
. to different parts OF the field through
trenches. Wheat and alfalfa are
planted together in the field but no
water is turned on now, as it some
times freezes nights.
There are three stores in Daggett,
one carries groceries, another carries
groceries, hardware, OVERALL hats and
shoes; and the third carries what Albert
calls yankee notions" that is dry
goods and notions. There are also two
saloons, which theoretically sell only
soft drinks, because at the last election
the town was voted 'sdry." The Acid
Works of the American Borax Co. is
in Daggett. They now bring their
borax 10 the W orks by rail, but former
ly it was al brought by means of 20
mule teams, such as we saw at Water
town.
The hens are starting in to lay. We
got seven eggs today. This being the
moulting time. they haven't laid any
until lately We eat all we get. They
are retailing eggs (hoats) at 40c per
doz. in the stores here.
Hope you are all well. [ am feeling
fine. With love
Ned
