a discussion Of some length ensued
upon a bill for increasing the salaries

those who draw salaries, had a few
amendments to offer. one raiSed the
salary Of the chief deputy in counties

and another increased the salaries Of
other deputies from SIS To 800. StiD
another brought the salaries of all
deputies in counties OF the second
third and fourth class counties. from
$50 TO SIS These amendments were
readily agreed to. but the proposition

with considerable opposition especial
" from Mr.. Pace of Graham.
Said he: Il do not care how high you
raise the salaries OF the counties to
which this bill is to apply / do not
know how YOU raise your money. but.

drawn to apply only to first class
counties. having an assessed valuation
of S10.000.000, Yavapai. Maricopa and
Cochise. This valuation began to be
whitfield down until when the bill was
finally agreed TO, it had reached 81

A 500 freight train passed thru
the city at a rapid rate today,
and the man in charge Of the
gates at Ramstad and First
streets failed to lower the gates.
In tact the man was out of the
tower entirely. This W a 9
gross carelessness on the part Of
the gatemap and he ought to be
raked over the Goals. The gates
are their to protect our people.
Before they were installed we
were on the lookout, but since
they have been installed we have
beef led to believe that no trains
would be allowed to pass unless
they were down.
The Great Northern was or
dered to put in gates some
months ago, but up to the pre-
senu time has disregarded the
orders.
