ladies of the city present at the dance
| In the absence of such a committee the

colored lights among the tropical
foliage was charming one commented
on by many of the visitors.
The reception to the Los Angelenos

arranged affair, the visitors returning
delighted with what they had seen of
the beautiful estate and the arrange
ments that had been made for them.
Mr.. Damon met the visitors on their
arrival at his beautiful grounds and
turned the entire place over to them
for the day, a privilege appreciated by
the visitors as they wandered through
the Conservatives, grounds and park
and surveyed their beauties.
Tomorrow the reception to the ladies
of the party at beautiful Ainahau will
be the most important social event of
the week, in addition to which there
will be several dances and host of
smaller private functions in honor of
the visitors. The official program, so
far as it has been arranged, will in
clude the following:

A Subcriber's Views on
the Manner Of Build
ing of Dams
(Communicated)

1t is a well-established, irrefut-
able axiom "Tbat anything to be
done should be done WE'LL" and
most forcibly demonstrated in
public undertaking for the gener-
al good Of a community We
have had the experience in past
years in this county of the futile
and incomplete building of dams
and reservoirs which have failed
to answer the purposes for which
they were built, resulting IN fail

money, which in most instances,
bore heavily on the people, not
to speak Of the possible loss OF
life and property, which might

to be on him, was to the effect
that a "Hobo" had placed it on
his leg while riding in a box car,
a statement in which the Sheriff
did not seem to take much stock
His purpose in asking for the file
was to separate himself from the
steel bracelet. He is young in
years, apparently not over seven
teen, but evidently old in crime,
nevertheless there must have
been a time when he was the
pride and JOY of some mother S
heart-whether the hand that
guided his first toddling foot
steps is now stilled forever or
whether he was a wayward
youth that brooked no restraint,
is a matter of conjecture.
1t is truly pitiable that one so
young can now only look for
ward to years of servitude-years
which otherwise might have been
spent in laying the foundation
for a useful life.

A Boy Prisoner Escaped
from Los Lunas Cap
tured Here

A dirt-begrimed and sneakv-
looking youth stepped into Wet
zler's store last Friday and ask
ed Mr.. Myerhoff for a three-cor-
nered file. His appearance not
being very reassuring and the
salesman at the same moment
catching the sound of cllnking
steel as the stranger moved
about, discovered that around
one of his ankles was a shackle
and short piece of chain which
the boy was vainly trying to hide.
Mr. Myerhoff at once conclud-
ed that he was some fugitive
from justice or an escaped pris-
oner and at once notified Deputy
Sheriff Williams who took the
stranger into custody.
The next day Sheriff Woods re-
ceived information that the pris-
Oner was wanted at Los Lunas,
New Mexico. on a charge of rob-
berry and was requested to hold
him until he was sent for.

asked as to how the shackle came

The fatuity of the average Am
erican is remarkable, with us us
ually it is Sufficient of the dav
is the evil thereof" until our in
difference and self-sufficiencv is
awakened by some public calam-
1ty caused by fire or flood from
lack of substantial protection,
we all know, and most of US
have suffered in property losses,
prOvidentially not in lives as vet,
but who knows when the evil
day may come, who knows when
the overwhelming power of the
pent-up floods may breark forth
and reap its harvest Of death
and destruction? And too late
we will realize that our short
sighted economy, our wilful ne
glect, our jealousies and prejudi-
ces or senseless antagonisms to-
ward each other have caused it
by failing to take the proper
methods to prevent it by erect
ing sufficient safeguards, sub
stantial barriers directed by
competent heads, and in doing
SO give confidence and protection
to the people by averting posi-
bic calamities. Every good citi-
zen who has in his mind the wei
fare of the community at heart
will throw aside his little differ
ences and get together as one
animated by civic pride and work
for the public good as one. 1t
appears to the writer, who does
not desire to enact the role of be-
ing His brothers keeper" that
the only and wisest plan would
be to erect dams and reservoirs
of stone and concrete under the
management and control OF a
competent engineer, this from an
economical point of view might
seem extravagent, but we will
appeal to the common sense of
the people and ask does this
seeming extravaganza cost more
in the long run than the putting
up for the time only, with its at
attending risks, a temporary af-
fair of rock and dirt with no as
surance of permanency to an or
dinary flood? We consider this
idea of economy as serving no
good purpose for the we'll being
and benefit of the people, and
lacking in the spirit of local pride
and good citizenship which the
people of Navajo county claim
the honor of being possessed of
and jealous of maintaining.

THE PAPERS AND THE PEOPLE.

Truly it is a condition and not a theory that stares newspapers in the face" says the Fourth Estate, which, as will be inferred from it's name, is a trade paper. Long prosperity it continues, has brought them into a situation as queer as any adventure of Alice in Wonderland. Circulations have grown amazingly, advertisers have increased and multiplied, adver- Using was never so productive of trade, devices for printing and dis tributing papers seem close to per

 with sombre faces and Wrathful hearts because the very prosperity they have helped to promote az Jears as cloud going before storm Of disaster The reference is, of course, to the advance in the cost of pro- ducing newspapers particularly to the continuing advance in the price of white paper. So WeIl-informed an authority as John Norris, business manager of the New York Times, has said that in New York alone not more than four dailies out of sixteen can stand the inevitable increase in expenses and still make money We would not make so frequent reference to this subject except that it concerns the public as we'll the papers. All the money the Graphic for instance, makes. goes back into it. It's policy is one of improvement. If it can make no money 1t can make no inn provement; and if cost continues to increase until expenses out-run re- ceipts, depreciation of quality will necessarily result; while if they be- come equal, quality must remain sta tionary which, in the case of a news paper. means dry rot.
