The

pr.vtts practice, it is reported. The Capt4in's retirement was a surprise to he many friends hereabouts, who sin. cerely regret his departure.
 few nights ago post scsvenge in company with three fl his con- rades, were celebrating revolutionary victories across the border, at White city, until rather ate, when they de- cided 10 lay in supply and finish the fiesta at the post. Loaded with bottles of the fiery fluid they started home and were halted by sentry as the Fort. The scsvenger thinking that the soldier ought to know who they were, disregarded the challenge and made straigh. for the sentry with bottle of whi-key in his hand offer | ing hlm drink. A match having | been struck by the sentry, revealed | the presence oi the others, also with bottles extended toward him, which le m;stonk for guns. The sentry lost DO time Tn reporting to the seargent of the guard, that there had passed li- post. four well armed Mexicans, Hho di5regarded his challenge and disappeared in the dark canyon of the post, towards tbe Quartermaster stables, where in all probability they would make away with government horses,
 4 call to -srms was immediately sounded and thorough search of the reserve was made resulting in the caps ture of several parties m the dark ,who were at once released when brought under the rays of the lamps, they proving to be members of the gar- rison. At last the scayenger, who had also joined the excited searchers, |, took the liberty 5t asking the cause of the trouble, and one can imagine his surprise when told that four armed Mexicsns had held up the sentry. The mystery was immediately solved and after all promising that the facts would be kept from the "Huschucs reporter" retired to their barracks.

 CT Capt. Bsbcock. to furnish quarters
 in which to hold the polls On February 9th, at Fort Huschuca, no election

The unexcelled Tombstone climate is attracting the at- tention of the shivering peo- pie in the frozen north and east. Inquiries are coming daily from the eastern ideal climate hunters and several have come and found it as it was represented to be. Others are coming and it all helps in bringing this city to the front as the best winter re. sort in this land of the free and the brave. Besides the climate the history of Tomb stone is full of romance and interest and on this account among those who come here to spend winters a majority are college men and women

tax must be paid by December 81.
Failure to qualify for the COM
ing primary by paying poll tax
for 1911 before December 81 does
not affect merely the voters
right for that election. 1t dis
qualities him from voting in the
school, judicial, congressional
and presidential elections of next
fall, from voting in any municipal
or special election that may oc-
cur before the end Of 1913. The
voter who fails to pay his poll
tax this year must hold receipts
for 1912 and 1913 before he will
be allowed to participate in any
election or primary. Many peo-
pie have formed the habit Of
putting off the payment of poll
taxes until the last few days of
the year. Don't do that. It
makes the possibility of being
left out all the greater. Ameri-

The Democrats Regain Kentucky.

In the State elections last week
none gave more joy in Democratic
circles than the redemption of Ken
tucky, which went Democratic by
about $4,000 majority. In New
York this year the fight against
Tainany lost the lower branch of the
State legislature. and has greatly
lessened the power of Gov. Dix. The
New York fight hinged OH local af-
fairs, somewhat like it did in Ken
tucky four years ago, when that
Stnte went Republican by 1000
votes. The full control " Kentucky
and New Mexico. the new, State, and
Democratic gains in OIio, Mnssa-
chusetts, and other IsRepublicau
strongholds, makes hone easy with
the Democrats, andy reutlXstrength.
ems our party leaders in sthe conyic-
ton that they can elect Democratic
President in the national election
next year.

Good Roads Cost $1,000 to $1,000 Per
Mile.

Those peanut individuals who i'm
agIne that anything like 500 or
$500 per mile will build good road
are simply way off in their caIcuIa-
lions. In the good old-fashioned
days, when our people used to turn
out With grubbing hoes. rakes and
pitchforks To work the roads, twenty
men would put in. say twelve days
in a year. At 1925 u day twenty
mems labor amounts to $25, and in
twelve days it totals $500 expended
on the roads. This sort or thing
has been kept up for forty years, and
the roads worked by this old-fash-
Toned plan are worse now than
whpn they first started.
II takes from $1,000 to $4,000 per
mile to build good road, aud it il
simply nonsense to think that it can
be done for anything like one-tbird Or
even one hall of that amount. The
initial cost OF building >is whore the
bulk of the costs comes in. After thu
ronds are once built, they can then
probably be kept in repair at an au-
nual outlay of probably $50 or 500
per mile.

The Necessary Voting Documents.

The voters should remember
that no man can vote in the
Democratic primary in January
unless he has paid his poll tax
for 1910 and 1911. If any of
them failed to pay their poll tax
for 1910, it is too late to remedy
the defect; but those who have
paid for 1910 must obtain one
for 1911 between now and De-
cember 81 in order to vote.
Under the law a citizen to vote
in any election must have paid
his poll taxes for two preceding
years. The tax is required to be
paid in the year in which the
receipt is issued. No receipt
can be issued for a back year.
In order to vote in the primary
on January % a voter must be
shown to have paid his tax in
1910 and 1911. Many persons
paid their taxes last year, but
none of these can vote in the
coming primary unless he has
paid or pays before the end oil
the year his tax for 1911. Pay
ment of the taxes of 1910 and
1911 qualities the voter not only
