ABUSING PARDoNING POWER.
Governor AnSel Criticised Tor
Excessive Clemency.

IF there has been in recent years
a Governor with a softer heart than
DCHeyward possessed, that Govern
or was M B McSweeney. When a
petition for pardon was refused by
both McSweeney and Hayward, it
is safe to say that few valid reasons
for clemency could be advanced.
Gov Ansel has been by kindly news
papers given the reputation OF re-
fusing pardons wholesale. This rep
ntation is more or less deserved.
Yet one of his first pardons was
granted to the young DR. Lee, who
killed his own father in a drunken
debauch. 1t was represented that
Dr Lee had, during his imprison-
ment, been cured of the liquor hab-
it and we believe it was on this
account chiefly the pardon was
granted. Within a few months
after his release from prison, Lee
died from the effects of dissipation.
Now Gov Ansel grants a pardon
to Mrs Fannie Carson, who was a
marty to.the assassination other own
husband by her lover. While the
husband slept, taking her child out
of the bed so, that it would not be
awakened by the blow of the ak,
this woman assisted in the brutal
murder of the man whom she had
sworn to love and honor.
When the pardon record OF Gov
Ansel is critically examined, his
action in the case of DR. Lee and
Mrs Carson will offset all of the re-
fusals of minor cases with which ne
is credited, and in which strong per-
sonal and political influence, such
as was exercised in these cases. was
not brought to bear.-Co'u"'0m ne

A Box Party.

Moody, March 21:-On Friday
evening, the 10Th inst, a most en-
joyable box party was given for
the benefit of the Spring Gully
school. The scene of the entertain
ment was the hospitable home of
Mr. r C Marshall, which was hand.
somely decorated with native ever
greens and exotics, blended together
with excellent taste and harmony
After ice-cream and cakes had been
served several cakes were raffied,
bringing satisfactory prices. The
fish pond afforded amusement for
the younger children. During the
evening sweet music rendered by
skillful musicians was much enjoyed.
The gross proceeds of the enter
toinment amounted to the tidy sum
of $50. There were people pre-
sent from various parts of the
county and the decorum observed
was unexceptionable.

THE NORTH POLE GOLD BRICK.

|
The Whole Wretcked Business
! Savors of Yellow Journalism.
! DR. Cook having been universally
discredited as alleged discoverer of
the North Pole and Peary now ap-
pearing extensively in the recon-
mendations of all sorts of advertis-
! ing, the enQuiring mind is rapidly
moving toward the opinion that no.
body ever did get to the North
| Pole and that the entire recent
North Pole business savors ofyellow
! journalism or the arts of the gold
| brick impressario. Cook having
gotten his on the lecture platform
and with publishers, in a whirl-
wind wind-ynthat must have made
the most Eeet
operat9> .nak, lac,- u =

vances coyly to the center OF
stage and proceeds to gather
the fragments.
Not that he will disdain -..e
emo!uments arising from Chau-
tauqua assemblies and lyceum
bureaus later on, but Cook gave
that field such a severe wrench that
Peary will have to wait until the
splints are off. In the meantime
the field of the volatile and imagn-
ative advertising man is alive with
eager invitation. One kodak COM
pany advertises extensively that the
kodak with which Peary snapshot
ed the North Pole surmounted by
the waving stars-and-stripes, was
their make of kodak. Peary COM
PLEASANTLY writes two recommen-
dationsQ like the patent medicine-men
use) which are duly printed over
his autograph signature. Not to
be outdone, an enterprising Eastern
magazine advertises in the other
envious Eastern magazines that it
has the only authentic Peary's
Own Story" and to prove it prints
a picture five inches square Of the
flag "Peary Nailed to the Pole.
There is a patchwork quilt effect,
the same purporting to represent
chunks of the flag nailed to ice
bergs and polar bears and Eskimos
along the route-beg pardon,
dash is the technical word-thls
picture being taken, Of course, by
the kodak advertised and OK'd
by Peary. incidentally it is duly
copyrighted by Peary. Heaven for
bid one should photograph the flag
at the North Pole and neglect to
secure the commercial emoluments.
Now, if we could get a snapshot
(made by one of the Eskimos) with
the same advertised kodak, of Peary,
hammer in hand, mailing the flag to
a gold-mounted, diamond-studded
pole it would be most interesting,
instructive and convincing. And II,
then, we could get a snapshot
taken by said Eskimo with said ad-
vertised kodak of Peary snapshot
ing the Pole, it seems that conviction
and contentment would have reach
ed its limit so far as this wicked
world is concerned.

vestigation and learning-moves on

HOOD RIVER---PAST
PRESENT AND FUTURE
(By s. #. Blythe.)

OF Hood Rivers past, can only
speak beginning with my first arrival
in the valley, in August, 1877. Hood
River Was then noted for its solu-
brious climate, and my pilgrimage
here WAS for the benefit of my health.
Wife aud | we're landed from the
steam boat on the beach near where
tho boat landing is nov. Some one
bad iuTeWarnsd US to inform the
esptsin that we wished to get off at
Hood River so that he could signal
the boarding house, which insured
some one coming to the landing after
us with a conveyance Ihe boarding
house vas kept by K. Pealer and wife
10 the old one story house on Para
disc Farm, sdIoining the large SAM,
taIium building then in course OF
construction by DR.. W. L.. Adams.
1t was very long hour and one
half we sat on the beach or loitered
among the giant cottonwoods that
seemed as big then as they are today.
But, as il lie said, call things come
to him who waitF," Mr. Pealer finally
hove in sight driving pair o, cayuses
to che only spring wagon there was In
the valley. 1t was one nf those gIor
ious afternoons of Hood River sum-
mer day, and as we we're driven along
through the grove OF oaks, where now
the city Is spread, Of course we we're
delighted and betore reaching the
boarding house, | felt that had
found the place which some day
would be my permansHt home. Al

the hostess, Mrs. Pesler, barefooted

 where man of "A he is.spending his last days" Flagstaff Sun
 Bert Bryan, who won the wild horse riding contest Christmas day and holds the championship belt of Arizona for broncho bust ing, issues a challenge for $1, 00O a side to. any rider. of bucking bronchos in the world. The test as proposed by BrYanls that each contestant shall rideatwenty horses in two days trial, ten horses being mounted each day.
 Bryan performed some rather marvellous feats at the broncho busting contest at Eastlake park Christmas. h the wild horse event.where each contestant is required. to rope his horse and saddle him. Bryan saw that he. was going to be beaten by that clever rider, Dugan. Bryan had 3 saddle on his horse and 8 rope around his neck. He didn't wait for the hackamore but leaped on land subdued the animal without it and won the contest.
 The worst horse at the whole show was undoubtedly Wild Cat. He is one of the worst horses ever seen in this part of the country and compares favorably with Steamboat forpure devilish- Iness.
 While Bryan holds the champion ship won at the last territorial fair there were other men. at the. busting contest who showed them selves riders of mettle; Crewes is undoubtedly a great rider and -Dugan is one of the most daring broncho busters in the world. Joe Isabell rode sorrel that bucked hard and rode her well. Tex" Singleton has a reputa- ton all over thesouthwest. Henry Isabell, 8 16year old boy, did some clever riding for one SO young. but he can't quite be. countedin the same class with the other experts who have ridden in tournaments all over the country.
 Bryan has ridden almost every bad horse in Arizona and now wants to ride Steamboat. He is willing to bet $500 that he can ride Steamboad and whip her at every jump. and not bo thrown. Phoenix Republican.

How Showlow Was Named

The Desert News recently gave a write up of Arizona old timer and towns, and had the following to say in the naming of one of our villages:
 The name ShowLow carries with it a story that will go down in Arizona's history, and it is in separably linked with the name of c. .E. Cooley MT. Cooley came t. Arizona as Q soldier and was stationed at old Fort McDoweil when he was mutered out in the late sos. He worked his way up to Fort Apache and there marri- ed an Indian wife and was a. dopted into the Apache tribe and made cue Of it's chief. One day he was gambling at the game of seven up when his opponent bet 3 ranch against 3 sum of money. &he game ran, close and it was a Iaestion who was out. Cooley claimed he had won. by having the point low" The other man said, Well. show low and take the ranch '' Cooley showed low.. and took the ranch and named it Show Low. Ranch.
