BIG SHORTAGE IN
COUNTY OFFICES
State Examiner Says Condition Here
is Not Materially Different From
Every other County.

That the accounts Of several of the
county ofcers, of Craig county, show
ed shortages was freely rumored on
the streets here, while r. N. Nash was
going over the books, for the state ex-
aminer. Just what these shortages
were could not be ascertained. In most
cases, it is claimed the inspector check
ed as short the amount of several
claims paid by the officers, which he
thought was illegal. The officers will
fight the matter out in court. The fol-
lowing dispatch from Oklahoma City,
is from Nashs report:
Oklahoma City, Sept. 1S.-Various
county officials of Craig county are
said to be short more than $4,000 in
their accounts, according to the report
made Saturday by State Examiner
Charles A. Taylor The larger deficit
is in the office of the county judge, who
owes the county S4,344,46, according
to the report.
The other county officials are in
debted to the county in smaller sums,
all of them contending they are en-
titled to the amounts they have re-
tanned under the law. The condition
is not materially different from nearly
every other county in the state.

keep thoroughly abreast of the times
the officials of the Frisco have put into
effect plan by which practically all
of the most up-to-date information re-
garding railroad service and the many
things pertaining thereto may be
brought to their attention with the
least possible delay
To accomplish this the publicity de-
partment of the Frisco has been au-
thorized to subscribe to seventeen
leading magazines. All of these mag
azines will be read each month and
whenever articles which may be of
value to any of the many departments
are found, either a brief of it. or a
note calling attention thereto will be
sent to the official in charge of the
appropriate department.
In order that hints, information or
suggestions for all departments should
not be neglected it was found neces-
sary to subscribe for large number
of publications which include those
upon engineering, accounting, immigra-
ton, mechanics, traffic and law. in adj
dition to several which devote con
siderable space 70 articles upon the
general, financial, legislative and po-
litical conditions.

WHAT CITY WILL GET
NEXT ANNUAL CONVENTION

Chicago, III, Sept. 16.-What city
and state will entertain the 1912 meet
ing of the National Irrigation Con-
gress? Although it is some weeks
until the congress holds its nineteenth
annual meeting in Chicago, December
5 to next, this question is already
bobbing up. Several cities have ex-
tended invitations for the twentieth
congress or announced their intention
to do so.
Prominently mentioned at the pres
ent time are New Orleans, La; Los
Angeles, and San Fricisco, CAL; Port
land, Ore; Phoenix, Ariz.; Rochester,
N. Y, and Atlantic City, N. j. 1t is
probable other eastern and southern
cities will extend invitations Charles
ton, S. c., has wanted the congress,
and other cities in the Mississippi Val
ley besides New Orleans would be glad
to have this meeting.
The interest in drainage will bring
large delegations from the south this
year and as the west is planning
strong representation there promises
to be a lively contest at the coming
Chicago meeting for the privilege of
entertaining the following irrigation
congress.

FLYNN IS GIVEN POPULAR
DECISION OVER CARL MORRIS

Madison Square Garden, n. ", Sept.
16.-Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman,
last night fought a winning battle of
ten terrific rounds with Carl Morris,
the gigantic heavyweight of Oklaho-
ma, at the Madison Square Garden. At
the end, the Oklahoman's face was
battered to pulp, while Flynn was
unmarked, save for a lump over his
left eye.
AS a possible White Hope for a
championship fast recognition, Morris
is a failure. He had nearly fifty
pounds in weight and five inches in
height over the Pueblo man, but fail
ed to daze Flynn at any stage, Morris
really had only one round, the third.
In all others, Flynn was the master.
All through the fight Morris kept
using his great weight and strength
to weaken Flynn, but the latter in
variably had the better of all the close
work. His left hooks and jabs soon
sent blood flying and he was at times
willing to take punishment to send
back worse than he got Morris land
ed many hard lefts and rights in every
rouifd, but Flynn seemed to be imper-
vious to the grueling he got.
1t was the bloodiest fight ever stag
ed in this city, and many of the spec
tators around the ringside were aston
ished at the stamina of both men
which carried them at a fast pace
throughout. There was no denying
the verdict of the onlookers as to who
had won, for Flynn was cheered voci-
ferously as he followed his seconds to
the dressing room, while only pity was
expressed for the western giant
Among the spectators in ringside
boxes was Senator Frawley, author of
the present boxing law, and a party of
friends. During the seventh round
he shouted: stop it! Stop it, to Ref.
cree Charley White, but the latter
either did not or would not hear.
The preliminary bouts were com
pleted at 1O:30 o'clock, and five min.
utes later the big men entered the
ring. His chief seconds were Con
Riley and Joe jeanette. Flynn follow
ed two minutes later, seconded by Abe
Attell and Danny Goodwin. The
weights were announced, Morris, 22g
pounds, and Flynn, 175 pounds.
Manager Billy Roche, who was al
the ringside said Kaufman would chal
lenge the winner
When the men threw off their bath
robes, Morris lowered over his oppon
lent, who looked like a middle weight
beside the big fellow They squared
off, at 10:46 o'clock.

LARGE BLOCK OF GRANITE.

The firm of Anderson Bros. &
Johnson of Granite Heights last week
quarried block of granite weighing
approximately sixteen tons. While
attempting to lift it with powerful
crane at the works the mast of the
crane, heavy piece of hardwood
timber, was split from top to bottom,
and it was necessary tosplit the block
in two before it could be handled.
The company at present is quarry
ing large amount of stone, and be-
fore spring will have its yards we'll
filled. AT present two quarries are
being worked, both on the west side
of the river. The firm also has a
quarry on the east side, about half a
mile north of the works. 1t is from
this that the grey granite is quarried.
When conditions are favorable the
firm makes it point to get large
stock ahead, for there are certain
months in the year when the river is
treacherous and the water is liable to
rise to point where the stone can.

CITY WATER.

The ten new wells which were sunk
at the water works station are now
furnishing our water supply The
thirty wells sunk several years ago
were attached today to the system,
and it is expected that no more water
will have TO be taken from the old
well unless an accident happens. Our
people must not expect to get first
class drinking water from this change
right on the start, for they will not.
II will be better than it has been, but
the fact that there is not enough iron
in the deep wells to feed the growth
in the pipes, the result will be that
the growth will keep sloughing off, and
there viii be more or less dirt in the
water for six months or year or I'M
til the pipes are cleaned out. This is
hoped will be the result. We have
had bad water a good while and we
can stand little mix-up for a while
longer if we can be assured of clear,
sparkling drinkable water in the
