NEW TOWN COUNCIL IS
ORGANIZED

The regular meeting of the town coun-
Gil was held Oh Monday night, when the
newly elected mayor and three new alder
men took>their seats.
The council was called to order by
Mayor Long and the old council listened
to the reading of the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting, which were approved, and
then the mayor and the three retiring
aldermen gave their seats to their sue
cessors. In turning over his seat to the
new mayor, Mr.. Long thanked the alder
men for their. support and cooperation
during his term of office.
In taking his seat Mr.. Snyder thanked
the council for the honor bestowed upon
him in electing lin as mayor OF the
town, and said while he was not familiar
as yet with the work, he hoped to give
as good an administration as the old one,
and hoped harmony would prevail.
The meeting was one of tie shortest
regular sessions of the council that has
been held in long time, but was of
quite an instructive nature for those who
were interested enough in the city's gov
ernment to attend.
An amendment to ordinance No. II
was introduced, which if adopted will
permit the council to pass an ordinance
at one meeting when all members are
present and in favor of SO doing.
An ordinance was also introduced pro-
viding for the closing of all saloons from
l a. NJ. to a. m. on week days, and
from l a. III. to p. IN. on Sundays.
The ordinance was referred to the ordi-
nance committee.
Committees were appointed by the
mayor as follows:
Finance-McCabe, Skylcs, Geddes.
Streets and Alleys-Little, Forcum,
Hall.
Auditing-McCabe, Forcum, Skyles.
Fire-Hall, Skyles, Geddes.
Ordinance-Forcum, Hall, Skyles.
Health-Geddes, Hall, DR.. Stone.
Water-McCabe, Little, Skyles.
j. E. Skyles was elected as president
of the council.
Mayor :snyder declined to make any
further appointments until the next
meeting, in order that he could have
further time to consider the matter.
1t was suggested that building in
spector should be appointed at this meet
ing, as the town is now without one.
The mayor wanted to know if there were
any of the aldermen who would like to
have the Office, and there was dense
silence. The matter was laid over.
Alderman Geddes brought up the mat
ter of furnishing water to the residents
of the Walker addition, and it was re.
ferred to the water committee.
Fred Doering and w. T. Cole, as a
committee from the fire department.,
brought up the matter of paying the fire
men something for their services, and
also pointed out several ether needs Of
the department. The matter was referred
to the fire and finance committees, who
will meet with the fire department al
their next meeting.

CTS paying just tribute to our flag. and l our country, our citizens receive the protection due them when in foreign lands.
 "In closing the speaker gave a tri- bute to our national emblem and called 1 forth a cheer when he said We love that flag, but when one more star is placed on the national escutcheon rep lresentative of Arizona's admission into the union as a state, we'll love it that much more.'
 Judge Richard s. Sloan, who repre- scented Arizona at the recent conven- tion and through whose untirlng and effective efforts the statehood plank was incorporated by the general com mittee as a part of the republican plat form, was the second speaker of the evening. His popularity was enthusi- astically attested by the hearty ovation which followed his introduction. For five minutes the audience manifested it's appreciation of Judge Sloan's sue cess in placing the matter of statehood before the convention in a logical and strong light which doubtless means the early triumph of the movement. When
  Sloan gave a short but brilliant speech.
 He told entertainingly of the great re- publican assembly. In reference to
 Arizona statehood he stated that the citizens undoubtedly would attain their
 desire, but must show they really are
 in earnest ';that as a whole the people
 of the territory must show that they are equal in intellect and in every other way to the citizens of other parts
 of the country. Some concerted and
 strong movement toward such an end,
 Judge Sloan advocated, should be start
 ed at the coming election. A second
 ovation followed the closing words of
 his trenchant speech.
 Judge Danel E. Parks, one of the
 strong political men of Colorado in the fight for the statehood of that for
 mer territory, was called upon and
 made an admirable speech on the sub
 ject in hand, dwelling particlarly upon the great good wrought by the republi can party while in control of govern mental affairs.
 Attorney Leroy Anderson at the re- quest of the chairman, gave a few minutes talk and spoke of the necessi-
 ty for preserving unity in the party campaign. E. $. Clark, the attorney general, also advocated unity. but un
 ity in the sense of appealing to patriot
 ism of every republican by the right conduct of the campaign"

value of real estate materially. There is not foot of ground on Center street opposite the said Central school. block which can be had today for $200 per front foot, while a piece fifty feet by ninety feet sold for S10.000. Taking the above as a ratio, the Central school block with building is fully worth to- day $100,O00, and that amount will surely double in a few years. With the great impetus given to real estate by the completion of the Granite Reef dam, our excellent crops, the new rans-continental railroad advancing rapidly towards completion. the resum- ing of the works of the sugar plant in the near future. the advent of great number of homeseekers and capitalists. and the almost certainty of statehood. prosperity is staring us squarely in the face and this is no time to/dispose of real estate. I am opposed to the sale of our city hall, county court house and school house blocks. They are all centrally and conveniently located and they were deeded with the express understanding that these blocks were to be used for no other purposes. Be- SlQeS these IdctS, we uO Hot WISH to see a repetition of the mistake made as in the capitol building and Carnegie library sites, so remote from the city and decidedly inconvenient for our people. We have no guarantee put that if our school, city and county proper ties are sold now, spectators will be proposing to move our court house on the property occupied at present by the old graveyard, which property owners in that vicinity wish to see condemned. while others would have the Central school somewhere near the Indian school and our city hall on the other side of the river.
 I am confident that in five years from now, when our city will have q population of fifty thousand. we will have bidders for each of these proper ties at a quarter of a million dollars each. Then our city and county, thus enriched. can have the present build ings demolished and finer edifices erec- ted in lieu thereof and more commen- surate with the times.

PRESCOTT
 RATIF|ES
First Taft and Sherman Meeting Saturday Night
Address by General Samp- son, Judge Sloan and Others.

The republicans of Yavapai county were the first to observe the time-hon- ored custom of ratifying the national republican ticket. The ratification which took place at Prescott on Sat urday night was arranged immediately on the return of Judge Sloan, one of the delegates from this territory to the national convention. The principal speaker of the evening was General Archibal J. Sampson of this city. The Journal Miner describes the meeting as follows:
 Enthusiasm marked the rousing ratification held by local republicans last night at the Elks' opera house. The audience, composed of a large number of prominent citizens was in terspersed with women, showing that patriotism and pride over the recent republican nomination are not confined to the men alone. Tom Campbell. chairman of the republican territorial committee, was chairman of the even ing and introduced the several speak CTS, first of whom was General Archi- bald J. Sampson, first attorney gener- al of Colorado, when that territory was admitted to statehood.
 Tn part General Sampson said: Be hold how great and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. That is is the spirit in which we have met her tonight. We are all one and the democrats will find out next No vember more fully than now, how un- ited we are as a party. In unison we republicans shout for Taft and Sher- and and tonight we meet to ratify their nominations and are enthusiastically elated.

 I've may well say Here's to Presi- dent Taft and Vice President Sherman that-are- -to-be, and here's to prosperi- ty under their rule for the next four years continued the speaker. I hold here in my hand the platform adopted at the recent convention and one of the best ever adopted by any committee. It is comprehensive, clear-cut, true to history and to the republican party. There is no better platform than we have chosen and the best is that we have a party that not only places a platform. but stands by it.
 "Enumerations, convincing and un- disputable, were made by General Sampson of the good work. the reforms and the various other movements brought about by the, republican party in the years that it has held control of government. In response to a note asking a word on the increased eX- penditures made by the government under the last administration, the speaker gave a statistical statement, acknowledging the increase in the ap- in the last four years. but pointing out in attenuation of the fact that each subsequent administration had found the necessity of a larger eX- penditure, as the country and govern ment broadened and expanded in its reforms and policies. Special praise was accorded the republicans for their attitude in accepting the Arizona state hood movement as part of their plat form. The statehood plank, General Sampson stated, was of vital interest not only to the citizens of the territory but of the entire country as we'll

A Brilliant Opportunity.

Everyone who is interested in
the welfare and growth Of their
town should be willing to do their
utmost to further every new en-
terprise which tends to the up
building and enlarging of that
town. There is no use in shout
ing boost and then sit down
and wait for the other fellow to
do the boosting. We must be up

plish anything.
Mr.. Jordan has been investi-
eating the electric light question
ard if he can secure the support
of the townsmen to the extent Of
furnishing light to them at so
much per, sufficient to warrant
him in so dong, he will erect a
plant.
1t will take a large amount OF
money to do this as the machin-
cry is very expensive and it will
also require a large amount each
month to keep the plant in oper-
alton.
Mr.. Jordan does not expect to
make a fortune out Of this, but
believes that it will be a good ad-
vertisement for our town, along
with good school, with which
to draw people here.
The fiat rate per light will be
no higher than it is in Glendive,
and as our town grows, the rate
can probably, in time, be some
what reduced, but, as all infants
need assistance when learning tC
walk, so do young enterprises
need helping hand to start with.
While Mr.. Jordan feels the ne
cessity Of using a flat rate with
all the householders and business
men, he offers to light, free O.
