rived.
Restoratiyes were applied and after
the patient showed a slight improve
ment he was taken to the county hos
pital in an ambulance. At the hospit-
al physicians and nurses stayed at his
bedside several hours and late last
night he was reported improving and
believed to be out Of immediate dang.
err of visit from the grim reaper.
Bob has been i'll the last three
months. He was confined to the hos.
pital some time. He left the place ten
days ago after being pronounced
cured, provided he continued course
Of medical treatment. He Is said to
have mixed the medicine prescribed
by his physician with other ingredi'
ents, resulting in relapse Of his all
ment.
Bob is one of the few remaining old
sports Of the Pacific coast He has a
wide acquaintance among tae pioneer
miners of this territory, Nevada and
California. lie has always been an
advocate of the "square DEAL which
accounts for the fact that his friends
are legion.

SUPERVISORS TAKE
UP GOOD ROADS
AND bOUN1|ES
Convention Has Reached
Period of Proposing
Legislation
Ernm Sa,nrday,s DaIly)

Yesterdays proceedings of the con
vcntion Of supervisors were quite IN
ter.sting and effective rs number OF
nucs,iops under Il .scusson were NOV
ed along 10 point where the senti'
ments IT the convention were well de
fined. Governor kibbey addressed the
convention in the forenoon on two
subjects. one being that Of good roads
and the other the question of taxing
banks. Ia respect Of the former as
might be expected, the governor IA
vored any reasonable movement for
lettering the roads. His sentiments
on the other question were that the
real valuation Of bank should be de-
,ermined and taxed in the same pro-
portion as other property, tne assess
ment not being made merely ON the
capital stock Of the institution.
In the matter Of good roads, com
mittec representing the Marieopa
county automobile association appear
ed before the convention. The com
mittee was composed Of Judge c. +.
Ainsworth, Dwight B. Heard and En-
pineer Howard Reed. The presenta'
ton of the committee was the urging
Of good general cross territory high
ways, north, south, east, and west, and
the idea that there should be a terri
torial engineer in charge so that uni
formity Of action could be secured in
all the counties, especially in the
building of the principal thorough
fares. The talk pointed toward ia
voring the issuance of bonds for the
construction Of such highways. <;
seemed to be the sense Of the conven'
ton that the law creating road over.
seers should he done away with and
one county superintendent be appoint
cd who would have supervision over
all the roads.
! \ resolution was passed recommend
ing that counties with an assessed
valuation of 100000 should be giver
the privilege Of hiring extra help fol
the assessor.
Quits n favorable attitude was taker
regarding suggestion of one Of IN,
Yavapai members that ali owners OF
property valued at less than $500 b,
exempt from taxation. II was his in
intention that the revenue from thii
source generally costs the county NOR,
for collection that it amounts to ant
at the same time is something Of al
item TO the small taxpayer who ha'
little resources.
The problems Of transient sheer
herds and Of mine taxation were wres
tied with and in the latter matter
there was n discussion on the subject
Of raising the valuation for taxation
from twenty TO forty per cent OF tn,
gross output, though no decision wat
arrived at.
Under the subject of immigration
there were addresses by Immigration
Commissioner Crenshaw Of this coun
ty, and by nr Ilibhard, representing
the Southern Pacific. All seemed I.
favor bill giving to all counties tn,
privilege Of appointing an immigra
ton commissioner to expend certain
funds, if they choose to do so, that be
ing an extending to them Of the priv
ileges now enjoyed alone by first elias
