VARIOUS WAYS OF GETTING IN

There are various ways for an en- gineer to get into the reclamation service, but Engineer Gus Streitz. county surveyor. has a method all his own. He got right in head first one day last week and fortunately got out again before he was drowned. He Was doing some work for George Alkire on the ranch and was walking along the bank of the Grand canal Suddenly he stepped in gopher hole. lost his equilibrium and took a header into the cold water of the ditch. He was bruised and sprained up a little and caught a disagreeable cold but other wise he was not hurt.

CHANGED THE SYSTEM-George Alkire called up The Republican of flee last night to say that he was again master of the situation and has effected a change in what was becoming a very bad precedent. by waving a magic rabbits foot. Within the last six weeks three families aside from his own which reside on the ranch. have celebrated the birth. Of girl babies. George likes girls but he also likes variety. Yester- day there was another birth on the Alkire ranch. this time in Georges own barnyard circle. The mother IS the family nanny goat. and her offspring is of the William variety.

 TALK ON OLIVES-C. P Munger will deliver the next lecture in the board of trade series. which is to be given next Saturday afternoon. MT Munger is one Of the Munger broth CTS and, of course, will talk about olives. He is familiar with every fea- mre of the industry, from planting the trees to selling the oil and pickles. No one in the valley is more qual- flied to speak of olives than is Mir. Munger and his address is certain to be interesting as well as instructive
 THE LOCAL OPTION ELECTION No action was taken by the roard of supervisors yesterday on the petition for a local option election for the req son that the decision of Judge Kent in the mandamus proceedings to compel the board to order a re-registratiOn had not been received. The next regular meeting of the board, or the time for it. will be on March 20. but at that time the ceremonies relating to the opening of the Roosevelt dam will be in pro- gress. It is therefore likely that the matter will go over to the first regular meeting in April.
 COST OF BULlETIN-Real estate men and others are anxious to secure copies of the board of trades monthly bulletin that there is great difficulty in supplying the demand. Only a limited number of the bulletins is run off each month and most of them are sent to newspapers. The board has decided to accommodate all who wish the bulletin in quantities and will do so at cost, fifty cents a hundred. This is barely enough to cover the cost of typewriting and multigraphing. It will be necessary, however. to order in advance No more bulletins than formerly will be run off unless eX- tra orders have been placed.
 MELVIN SOSN w P Crump returned yesterday from three days trip to Winkelman, Hayden. Ray, Kelvin and Florence. He reports business in q flourishing condition in that section, especially around Ray and Hayden. From the location of the many tents and Indian wickiups around the latter place the uninitated would think they had struck an Indian village so graphically portrayed by J. Fennimore Cooper. But they represent to the ones who are informed only the habitations of the Indians and their families who are employed in the work of grading the streets of Hayden, the future metrop- oils of Pinal county. Another very pleasing change since his last trip up there is the completion of the magnif icent territorial bridge across the Gila at Florence. Were it not for the bridge. he might still be in Florence today. waiting for the high waters of the GiIa to recede, for like the Salt it is running three or four feet above normal at Florence due to the fine rains that have fallen in that neigh borhood in the last week

A SERIOUS SITUATION.

The esteemed Charlotte Observer
notes our recent observations on the
preValency Of pellagra in this section
and heartily agrees with us that come
effort should be made TO find the
source of the disease. but discredis
the idea that the prevalency OF the
disease threatens to assume epidemic
proportions.
One Of the most surprising things
about the spread Of pellagra is the
lack OF realization on the part OF the
public in general and the officers
who have in their keeping the pub
lie health OF the seriousness o. ne
situation. We are far from desiring
TO assume the role OF alarmist or
sensation monger. but the fact that
disease Is able to grow to such pro-
portions in a period Of five years a.
20 cause more deaths than any other
one disease. not excepting deadly
typhoid, Is a matter that calls for ser
ious concern. Not only has pellagra
caused more deaths than any other
one disease in Durham during the
past few months, as shown by the
statistics OF the health department,
but there are now more than 80
cases in the city according to the tes-
timony Of reliable physicians who
are acquainted with the situation. OF

of farmers is the fact that he has
acquired this leadership mainly by
being able to tell the farmers about
their faults and short comings in
the most carstic and forcible lam
guage possible.
In an address at the national con-
vention of the union at Shawnee.
Oklahoma, this week, Mr.. Barrett
told the farmers that one OF their
chief faults was running away after
demagogues and economic quacks.
I'VE still lean too much to the
man. who pleases us by abusing the
people we don't like and flattering
us about ourselves, and shaking our
hands. and putting hallelujah feel
ing ON us. We must stop that al
together" said Mr.. Barrett.
That the farmers OF the country
and especially of the south have
suffered much from such leadership
Is unquestioned. Always ready to
follow the spell binder who could
appeal the most strongly to their
preiudices either race or class, the
farmers have time after time delib-
erately turned their backs on prog
ress and every thing that makes for
the economic welfare OF themselves
as we'll as the whole country.
Continuing Mr.. Barrett said:
