A few ERRORS SET RIGHT

The Journal seems determined
to have sensations, even if 1t is
compelled, as is usually the case,
to steer wide of the truth. In it's
last issue it stated that the Stafford
city council had passed an ordin-
ance prohibiting the burning Of
brick within the city limits.
The statement is entirely untrue.
The council passed an ordinance
to the effect that brick kllns can
not be established in this city
without a permit from the city
council. This is simply proper
and commendable fire regulation,
and cannot work an unnecessary
hardship in any case. 1t is SIM
ply aimed to prevent the building
of kilns at points where they
might endanger the safety of
neighboring property, and is such
provision as will be found in
every city of any consequence
in the country.
Furthermore, the Journals dis.
position to exaggerate and make
light of the action of the council
will find very little favor with the
people. A more honorable or con.
scientious body of officers cannot
be found anywhere today.
The Journal also makes the
statement that various stores of
Thatcher were intending to
merge into one large institution.
The report perhaps does very
little public harm, but is calcu-
lated to place the stores in a
wrong light. inasmuch as it is a
complete error. A representative
of The GUARDIAN interviewed
every merchant in Thatcher, and
all not only denied the report but
stated they had not heard anything
of such movement until they
saw the statement in the Journal.
Ordinarily, paper would have
some foundation for its news re-
ports, but the Journal seems lost
to even this slight portion of
journalistic ethics.

Have Gone 10 the Coast

President and Mrs. w. d John
son of Thatcher left for Santa
Monica, Cal, last Saturday, where
they expect to remain during the
summer, in the hope that the
change will benefit Mr.. Johnson's
health. When returning from
Salt Lake last month, they remain
ed on the coast couple of weeks,
and Mr.. Johnson felt considerably
improved while there. Upon ar
rival here he experienced a recur-
renee of the lung trouble with
which he has been afflicted for Il
portion of the time, and he goes to
California now with the expecta
tion of regaining his health. His
many friends will unite in hoping
that he will rapidly recover.

Never day passes but THE
GUARDIAN receives many evidence,
of support and approval for its
straightforward and re liable
course. While other papers arr
houndering in the bog of fiction i
treating news of local interest, this
paper presents all the news that is
news, and that without sensation
or exaggeration. The people of
the valley look to the old reliable
GUARDIAN for information on all
matters of Importance, and they
are seldom disappointed. The
GUARDIAN has four times the busi-
ness of any paper in this region,

HEADING OFF THE SILT

The following from the last issue
of the Clifton Era seems TO indicate
that the Arizona Copper Company
is finding means to prevent its
tailings from reaching the San
Francisco river. If this is true, it
will be welcome news to the farm
ers of this valley, and will doubt
less preclude the necessity Of fur
ther expensive litigation next fall:
"The Arizona Copper company
has recently built several large
shallow tanks in which the fines
from the teacher and the shines
from the concentrator are impound
ed and settled. The fines from the
teacher run well in copper and are
mixed with fine dust and run
through the converters And the
shines from the concentrators are
being used at the smelter for con-
verter lining. 1t is said that this
is proving quite saving and it is
proba bic that other tanks will be
added. Heretofore the fines from
the teacher have been dumped into
the river and wasted. A great
portion of the shines from the con
centrator have also been dumped
into the river contrary to the
wishes of the farmers in the valley.
The new scheme will keep the tail
ings from the river and at the
same time be benefit to the COM
pany."

DELlNQUENTS MUST PAY UP

County Treasurer Ben r. Clark
has issued a manifesto to the tax
payers who are delinquent, in
which he says: "The time has ar
rived when nothing less than a
full and complete performance OF
my duties, relative to the collec-
ton of delinquent taxes, will save
me from severe criticism by those
charged with the supervision of
my official acts. The leniency
heretofore extended to you in the
matter, is not warranted by the
statutes prescribing my duties and
authority, but an assumption of
authority exercised on my own
responsibility in order to enable
you to make settlement Of your
taxes without having to meet the
enormous expe ense of law suit,
the ultimate result of which will
be the sale of your property under
execution"
Mr.. Clark has shown all the
leniency that could be expected,
and a great deal more, and it will
now be necessary for delinquents
to pay up. as effective steps must
and will be taken at once.

DANGER FROM FIRE

ject lessons during tho past week
of the danger from fire that con.
fronts this city. While the dam.
age in these two instances was
com atively small, yet the
thought of what the result would
have been had high wind been
blowing, or had the fires been in a
more thickly built up part of town,
is enough to cause serious consid-
GRAFTON as to the best means of
fighting the deadly element. That
there is need of some more effect.
i've remedy than that SO far de-
vised is quite plainly apparent.
The extinguishers provided by
the council are good in quenching
a small blaze and are also effective
In preventing adjoining buildings
from catching fire, but they are of
course not calculated to extinguish
any considerable flame. This fact
was we'll understood at the time
they were purchased, and when
their small expense is considered.
less than Sl60, they are a very
valuable property. If the twenty
four now in the city were used
with wisdom, and refilled as rapid
ly as ample material would per-
nit, in the hands of twenty four
calm and judicious citizens, they
would do very effective work at a
fire, and repay ten times their cost.
But there is necessity for yet
more ample means of fighting a
large blaze. A heavy, continuous
and forceful stream of water
is needed. Many plans have been
suggested, among them the follow.
ing:
To organize company and pipe
water from the artesian belt or
Mt. Graham to Stafford.
To build large tank in the
center of the city, and keep it
filed at all times, and especially
during fire, by means of gaso-
line engine, from which the water
could be piped to various sections
of the city.
To build large reservoir, which
could be kept filled from the canals,
and raise the water by means of a
hand engine pump.
These are some Of the foremost
propositions so far advanced, and
each is worthy of careful consider
alton. One may be too expensive,
but all are good plans, and which.
ever will be the most effective and
within the means of the city and
the citizens, is the one which
should be adopted. If one is
found impracticable, perhaps an.
other would do nicely. These are
questions which call tor careful
Investigation on the part of the
city council and the prominent
property owners, and both should
unite in reaching proper decision,
as both are vitality interested in
the matter.
Another pressing need is q
thorough drilling of those who ex.
pect to assist in fighting fire.
During every blaze, much effort Is
wasted unless there has been con-
siderable preparation before hand.
A party of ten men, working sys.
tematlcally and under the direction
Of capable chief will accomplish
better results than thirty men
working without system. A few

department and with such mater.

HOW LONG Will Ir ExIsT2

M ANY are the complaints heard about the
4 condition of Front and French streets at
the new station. There is in the bed of Front
street. in front OF the station nearly two inches
of mud and filth, through which women and
children and men must wade to get an uptown
car. The favorable impression that the new sta
ton would cause is totally spoiled by the outside
surrounding conditions In addition to the
other unpleasant features, cabs are permitted to
stand at the curb around the station. the horses
, adding to the filth Of the street, and at times
making it difficult for patrons OF the railroad to
cross the street. There is no excuse for such
deplorable condition. and some one in authority
is at fault. Cabs should not be allowed to stand
on the station side of the street, and the bed of
the street should be kept clean The railroad
company might show some consideration for its
patrons in this matter One man with shovel
and those a few hours a day is all that would be
necessary to better the condition. If the VII
mington City Railway was owned by Whining
tonans and not by capitalists outside OF the
State, and the earnings applied to the improve
nient of the service in this city, one might hope
that Front street in front of the station would be
rooted from curb to curb and the patrons of the
railway and railroad be protected from inclem-
ent weather and the horrible condition that now

new city charter. The idea is good one, and
those who advocating it should insist upon
its adoption The referendum provision would
apply to the granting OF franchises, and the
bonding Of the city and the proposed expenditure
in the charter would bring the responsibility for
city government directly home to the people, and
would smash all attempts at ring or boss domina-
