MdndaRluS Proceedings
In the Court House
Matter

territory to issue writ Of man
damus compelling the board Of
supervisors to sell the bonds Of
Yuma county and proceed tC
bald court house, as author
lied and directed by the Twenty
fourth Legislature. The super
yisors have been summoned tC
uppear and answer the petition
at an adjourned session Of the
Supreme Court at Phoenix or
Friday, April 80.
1t will be remembered that the
Legislature Of two years age
passed bill directing the board
of supervisors to issue bonds in
the amount of $4,000 for the
purpose Of building court house
and Jail, and designating the 10
cation Of same. This bill was
not approved by congress until
February 6 OF the present year,
and then congress reduced the
amount of bonds authorized
from $4,000 to $50, 600.
The board has taken no action
in matter, mainly for the reason
that the amount is not sufficient
for the purpose intended.
A good many business men
and other large property owners
take the same view. It is, in
fact, the popular belief that the
building OF a court house should
be deferred at least two years.
By that time Yuma county will
have advanced into the ranks of
the frst-cisss counties and be
unQuestionably in q better posi-
ton financially to handle the
proposition and put up build
ing that will be adequate for the
future and an ornament to the
city and county.
1t is true the bill passed by
the Legislature directed the board
to pay to the petitioners above
mentioned the sum of So, 545,
with interest at II per cent per
annum from March l, 1906, also
that these petitioners bought and
hold the ground designated as
the court house site, as trustees
for the county, and executed their
joint note in payment for same.
If this transaction were IL matter
Of speculation, figuring that the
said trustees own divers and nu-
merous lots adjacent to the court
house site, it was not 2 losing
one: whether the court house be
erected there or not handsome
profit could be realized on the
investment, even now. The
property is worth double what
it was two years ago.
But the objection to proceed
ing at once in the court house
matter is the small amount with
which TO build, owing to the re.
duction made by congress. Su-
pervisor Kent figures that there
would be less than S33, 900 after
paying the other expenses pro-
vided for in the bill. Here are
the amounts as he figures them
out;
Amt. bonds authorized. 49,. $4,000. 90

The amount, then, left with
which TO build It court house and
Jail Is only S32, 1864.
We think the supervisors are
right in the stand they have Ia
Ken in not issuing the bonds.
4 court house is needed bad
enough, no one will deny that:
bat that amount Of N oney is en-,
tirely too small. AS the bill is
worded, however. the board Will
be compelled to carry out its
provisions, if SO ordered by the
supreme court.

TEXTBOOKS on HISTORY.

We are in receipt of some at
tractive advertising matter re
garding Prof. Henry Chambers
History Of the United States
which is up for approval before
the Text book Committee. We
believe in the encouragement OF
Louisiana authors and pub
fishers but we have laughter
tried to teach-this history, and
we found it the most difficult
book to infuse with life that we
ever tackled. 1t is over the
heads of most high school pupils.
1t furnishes too much dull fact
with no seasoning of anecdote to
make it go down with young PEG.
pie. 1t requires too much in
dividual research for a hurried,
lower school course. That is our
candid opinion. We believe Prof.
Chambers has the right ideas,
but the book should be gone over
by some one with a more sym
pathetic touch.
Miss Kings History of Louisi-
ana is also somewhat dry. We
have not seen Mrs. Magruder's
Of Louisiana, but she is
a bright and witty woman. Her
work doubtless bears q mark of
it. For there is no use talking,
young people do not take kindly
to history unless the record is
made alive with anecdote. Peter
Farley, Goodrich, Abbott and
Quackenbos, in their day, were
all delightful historians for
for that reason. Dimi-
5ry's History OF Louisiana" for
l like reason was always enjoyed

questions and answers form,
