DEAKYNE FOR

Engineer in Charge Of River
Work is Opposed to Less
Depth

Major Herbert Deakyne, United States
Engineer IN charge OF Delaware river
channel Improvements, took occasion yes
terday to deny In vigorous terms the
charge that he recommended TO the Board
Of Army Engineers a S3-foot channel in
the Delaware river. He characterized as
untrue the assertion that he expressly "a
vorcd such a depth, and said that from
the beginning he stalSed his reputation as
an engineer in urging a S5-foot depth in
the Delaware
"The statement credited to me that 7
favor a Ss-foot channel in the Delaware
river Is erroneous" said Major Doakyne.

mends a s5-foot channel, and Furthermore
have always been In favor Of that depth

COUNTERFEIT
DOLLAR BILLS
They Are in Circulation so it

full

Look sharp at your 81 bills" says
the notice that is being sent to banks
in this city and others throughout the
country. The appearance of what is
regarded as an unusually dangerous
conterfeit 81 bill is the reason for the
notice. The counterfeit, it is said, is
so sknfuliy done that it cannot be
easily detected even by the expert
enced.
One Of the conspicuous things about
the bill is that the portraits Of Lin
coin and Grant are much darker than
one the genuine and that the Lincoln
portrait gives the emancipator pc
culiarly cadaverous appearance The
words UNITED States" are not per-
fectly formed.
on the back Of the note there is an
absence of light lines which in the
genuine bills shape the curves and this
! produces dull. slate colored appear
ance. The back plate number is p
344 or 2.s44. which is apparently done
by hand and is not perfectly per-
pendicuIar. The front plate number is
4S1O. The series is that of 1899, and
the check letter is 3.

riety have appeared in this section so

THE TERRITORIAL
 ROAD TAX LAW

THE NEWS has been requested to publish the law regarding the extra assessment of 25 cents on each $lOO of the assessed valuation for the building of territorial road. The following section of the law covers the entire matter:
 Section '. The board of control shall for the years 1909 and 1910 fix and determine the amount of territorial road tax, not to exceed five cents on each one hundred ($1OOOO) dollars of the assessed valuation of taxable property which shall be levied by the territorial auditor in all counties where no road work is being done or to be done on territorial road during the period for which such tax is levied, and the board of control shall for the years 1909 and 1910 fix and de- termine the amount of territorial road tax, not exceeding twenty five cents on each one hundred ($1OO) dollars of the assessed valuation of taxable property, which shall be levied by the territorial auditor in all counties where territorial roads are to be constructed during the period for which such levy is made, which said levy shall be assessed for the purpose of improving the existing territorial roads and high ways, and the building of new high ways and bridges 8 the same may be necessary, and shall report the sa me to the territorial auditor. Pro- vided, that thereafter all levies made under the provisions of this act shall be such az may be fixed by legislative enactment.
 Coconino county last year paid into the territorial treasury over $S, 300 for this same territorial road and there the money stays. With the same amount added this year this county will have about SIS, ,OOO lying idle in the strong vaults of the territory, which is pretty large sum of money to take out of the pockets of our taxpayers for pur- pose which will probably not be carried out for years, if ever.
 Why not make the levy 5 cents on the $1OO valuation until such time as the work is actually begun, and assurance given that it will be completed in satisfactory manner?

OBSERVATIONS OF
 A CLODHOPPER
By E. z. MARK,

By E. z. MARK.
 Old Andy Carnegie. "The Laird of Skibo." said recently that half of the estates of our rich men should be given to the state upon their demise.
 That's just the very thing to do The states sure need the money. There is a never supplied lot of luxuries craved in the homes and officers of our state parasites that would be gratified.
 Champagne would flow in rivu- lets and the ambrosia of the gods gathered from the city of Asgard would be heaped in piles, and the stub tailed canines that should be glad to receive the bones from the kitchen would gorge out the rich ness thereof.
 Diamonds would rival the bril- liancy of the sun and it would be common for woman to be attir- ed in $25O.OCO worth of gee -gaws and sparks. Yea, the gouty toe would be encircled in a band of gold and a diamond set would gleam therefrom.
 We would candidly inquire what benefit would the populace at large benefit by these donations to the state? How many hungry men would be enabled to fill up for once on even beans and slice of hog, after such donations?
 Oh yes; it is the proper caper to give fortunes to the potentates of the land that'they may float about an air of brilliancy and saturnalia of extravagances. while out on the cold evening air sounds the cry of want and desolation from the habitat of the suffering.
 In the pitiless environs of noun tain like structures of brick and stone, known as tenemants, and upon the streets intercepting, suf fering humanity, from the cradle to the snowy heads soon to leave their troubles behind, move along with starvation and suffering in- delibly written in the lines of their faces and mute want finding ex- pression in shoeless feet and rayed garments faded and begrimed.
 From the steepled sanctuaries of Godly worship and the spired ele- vations of His praise rending mas- ses there sounds the songs of hu- manity, grace, good will and the helping of the needy, while from thousands of pulpits ministers in spotless attire preach the salvation of mankind. They talk of deeds of kindness and charity; but upon what senseless auditory appendages the uttered words fall, and the never ceasing throng passes on with it's stamp of endless suffering.
 Yet, give the state the lions share of these great fortunes and let the multitudes die in want, the thousands of children now going to school with their weak bodies suf- fer from lack of food and the scores stiffen in the frigid air of winter for lack of clothing or fire.
 Andy is philanthrophical old cuss. We thank him for the li- braries we did not. get, but that's all right.
 Say, friend Kicker, never weigh ed more in our life and experi- enced no pressure on our toes. We thank you for your compliment. Good luck old man.

NO COOLERS
 IN ARIZONA

Arizona, in asking for statehood, can point with becoming pride to the records of it's public officials and citizens generally. The history of this territory, running back to territorial organization. shows an official record that is remar kable- a history of clean politics and cleaner government. We can test every election with vim and vigor, but when the votes are counted and and the victors declared, peace and good will prevail. Some 15 years ago the Arizona legislature approp riated $1OO GOO to construct terri torial capitol, and that building to- day is monument to the sterling integrity of the officers under whom it was constructed.
 President Mckinley, after look ing our capitol building over care fully, pronounced it the finest pub lie building in tue United States for the cost. This is the universal verdict of all visitors.
 While public and private graft has been prevalent throughout the country, city councils, state off, cials and corporations are being convicted for swindling the public; Arizona alone of all the states or territories stands true and erect in the column of decency and honest government. We don't always agree with our federal. territorial, county and municipal officials, yet the fact remains: Not a charge of official dishonesty has ever been made against any one of them. Our citizenship is clean and wholesome !; our laws we'll enforced, and official integrity marks every avenue of public life The expenditure of $1OO,O0O in the construction of our capitol building, wherein not one dollar was misappropriated, is in strict conformity with the conduct of our public officials.
 Arizona has reason to be proud of it's long years of official and busi- ness integrity; it is proud of it's of ficers and it's citizens; and this high estimation of our public men is guarantee that when Arizona assumes the duties of a soverign state that one of the cleanest, most mora! and law abiding states in the republic will be found out here on the backbone of the American con- tinent, hard by the base of the Rocky mountains.-Arizona Demo- crat.
