The approximate cost of the com plete structure was $30,000, and was built without bonding the county. Tie lateral dimensions of the building are 60 S6 feet and two stories in height, being con structed of native sandstone,
 Williams News: Three Supai In dians were arrested by constable Scotty McDougall last week and brought to town, on a charge of slaughtering deer out of season. One of them was found guilty. "Poor To" was caught with the goods" and offered no defense, pay ing his fine of $l5 assessed against him by Judge Langin.
 Winslow Mail: Hugh Anderson, a stockman of Flagstaff, while go ing west with a carload of cattle, slipped and fell between two cars at Seligman Monday evening, breaking his right leg. MT. And erson was brought to Flagstaff for treatment. and at last accounts was getting along as we'll as could be expected.
 Benson Press: L. R. White, the sweet potato king of Arizona. Is alive to the fact that thousands of sacks of Irish potatoes are being shipped into the local markets from Colorado and California and though he has made good money on alfalfa, the culture of Irish potatoes is still more profitable and a considerable portion of his meadow land has been plowed up and will be put in potatoes this year.
 Winslow Mail: Wednesday night about nine o'clock, the body of a man supposed to be that of Wm. O'Neal, a hricklayer recently in the employ of the Arizona Lumber and Timber Company, at Flagstaff, was found on the track about one- half mile east of the station at that point, the head being badly mashed and completely severed from the body. A ticket to Williams was found in the pocket of the deceased. A coroner's jury empanelled on the case returned a verdict of ac- cidental death.
 Tucson Post: Pedro Flores, who shot Andres Hernandez about ten days ago, in a jealous quarrel, was arraigned yesterday before Judge Richey on the charge of having committed an assault with a deadly weapon Bond was fixed for him in the sum of $500 which he secur- ed and was released until the day of his preliminary hearing. That has not yet been set for the reason that the doctors at the hospital are unable to say definitely when the woman will be able to appear in court. The witnesses, held since the night of the shooting, were also released.
 Paradise Record: As the Record has already stated, artesian water is now proposed to be sought. On Jan. II the Artesian Water associa- tion was organized at Rodeo; and on the 18th inst, at the first meet ing of the association, the sum of 5000 was subscribed, to be ex- pended in boring for an artesian flow.

values of lots were put too high, but a movement is now under way, several lots having changed hands within the past 60 days.
 Prescott Courier: When man seeks to improve on nature, he sometimes makes a big mistake, said a prominent cattleman yes terday, in referring to the exter. imitation of wildcats now in pro- gress under the law, which provides a bounty of five dollars each on cat hides. He would prefer to pay a large bounty per cat to stop the hunters from killing them, as the cats rarely destroy anything of value to man, while they are great destroyers of gophers, rats, mice and other pests, which would be- come regular plague to ranchers, when the cats, their natural de- stroyers, are exterminated.
 Range News: By universal con sent (some willingly others un- willingly) of our citizens MT. Jack A. Burro has been appointed town scavenger and back yard inspector of Wilcox. This appointment has been long delayed on account of the fond hope of many citizens that Mir. Wm. Goat would eventually arrive here and take the job. Mir. Goat is considered much more ex. pert in the handing of tin cans than MT. Burro. Again, many object to the noisy manner of Mir. Burro in doing his work. The go- by given to us by the Hon. Wm. G. is all the harder to understand when one considers that Wilcox boasts large and prosperous Irish colony.
 Wilcox News: A mass meeting was held in Seligman last Tuesday evening, the purpose being to form a vigilance committe, to see what could be done in regard to the town being shot to pieces every night. As the town now stands there Is no officer or justice of the peace, and it looks like the sheriff or board of supervisors do not intend there shall be any; so our citizens have taken up the matter, and petition will be sent to the gov- ernor asking for protection from this shooting business. For the last month or so it is not safe for person to be any place only behind some mountain or down in some Some of our wise ones are building dugouts to escape the shower of bullets that are flying around. A stranger here would think war had broken out with Japan. The only time when the shooting is stopped is when the parties run out of ammunition.

Enthusiastic
Political
Rallies Held

Cameron county Polly ticks" are
beginning to loom up on the political
horizon and the various candidates
for county offices have begun to get
busy Saturday night, politics were
very much in evidence. Both demo-
Gratis and independents held meetings
and both paraded the streets with
brass bands at their heads.
The Independents held their meet
ing in the Armstrong building and
club was organized to be called the
Independent Club. Permanent Off
GERS were elected and a constitution
and bylaws were adopted. There
were about three hundred people in
attendance and to all appearances it
was very enthusiastic meeting. Quite
a number of speeches wvI0 made,
both in Spanish and English, outl,%
ing the policies of the independent
party, its prospects and it's future.
The meeting lasted until late in the
night.
Following are the officers elected:
V. L. Crixell, president; ]. P. Reyes,
vice president; T. Crixell, treasurer;
R. Trevino, secretary. Directors D.
Buiturrera, c. Olivera, NJ. Garcia and
T. Hernandez. The club will hold
meeting every Saturday night.
The Blue Club held regular meet
ing with about the same number of
members present. Speeches were
made by the various &idates and
members which were received with
enthusiastic applause.
A representative crowd of Browns
will members and also from various
ranches over the county was present,
including delegations from Santa Ma
Tia, Ell Carmen and other voting boxes
in the county. The meeting adj
journed about eleven o'clock, until
the next regular melting.

Large crowds were out as usual at
the electric theaters last night and
Saturday night. At the Dittmann
Electric, there was fine representa-
ton of the thrilling experience of a
party of pioneers with the Indians,
while at the Celford the Mystery of
the Diamond Necklace was equally

view is chilling to the World, for it believes that
Taft will be strong candidate. But how did It
all happen? How can Taft be a taking and

Conditions have changed materially
in the twenty-five years that have
elapsed since the above was first
written and It is possible, nay, II is
certain, that gross abuses have grown
up in manufacturing, banking and
other COMMERCIAL pursuits. which may
be traceable in part to the high pro-
tective tariff policy of the govern
ment under Republican administration,
and IL may be that judicious revision
and modification of the laws, in re-
gard to both the tariff and banking
may be necessary to either correct
or stamp out those evils. Neverthe-
less, honest manufacturers and up
right, conscientious bankers still re-
main and we need not go further

therefore any revision of the tariff

LuLL IN RAILROAD WORK.

ONLY a few months ago there was cry OF
" railroad car shortage and lack OF general
rolling stock necessary to the increasing trans
portation business OF the country. Producers
were unable to market commodities because the
railroads could not handle their business. Serl-
GUS congestion affected many parts OF the nation.
Now is a period Of slackened business, and the
railroad companies have splendid opportunity
to prepare, during the lull, for the busy season.
This would seem to be the time to do the work
in preparation for the next rush of business. Yet
but few companies are taking advantage OF the
opportunity Railroads are retrenching. Car
making and car-repairing shops are running on
shorter hours. Wages of employees have been
practically reduced, as there are fewer hours OF
employment In boom periods the rolling stock
OF a railroad company is kept so constantly in, use
that there is scant time for repairs Yet when
the lul appears there is little disposition to make
the needed additions to the equipment.
Some railroad companies that are not prosper
Gus have no option in the matter. They have no
reserve funds upon which to draw Their earn
ings are decreased and they are forced TO rigid
economy But there other companies
that are well fixed financially which have just
passed through period of extraordinary pros
perity. The present period ought to be the time
when they should make the needed repairs to
their equipment and keep their men employed.
