E. church at this place, will leave the first of the coming week for Tucson, to attend the annual Arizona Mission conference of that church which convenes in that city Oct. 4. He will be accompanied as far as Tempe by Mrs. Decker who will remain in that city visit ing relatives and friends until after conference. At this conference meet. ing pastors receive appointment for the coming year, and it is very unlikely that Rev.

He is capable. honest, a good business man. and, in fact. in every way we'll qualified to fill the position to which he as pires. It was only at the urgent request of his numerous friends that Mir. Boyce consented to become candidate If he secures the nom- ination it goes without saying that Jess will he in it every minute till the votes are counted.
 Elsewhere in this issue appears the announcement of Joseph K. Treat, of Flagstaff, who aspires to the office of county treasurer, sub- ject to the nomination at the re- publican county convention. MT. Treat was the nominee of the re- publican party two years ago, and then, although a comparatively stranger to a majority of the voters of the county, made magnificent showing at the polls against his dem ocratic opponent-the strongest can didate on that ticket. MT. Treat is we'll qualified for the position he seeks, and if nominated and elected will undoubtedly make the county as good an official as it ever had, and that is saying a good deal.
