 Tombstone Prospector: A story matched in the fertile brain of some Bisbee correspondent was sent out to the Associated Press to the effect that Ft.

Investigation proved that the correspondent failed to consult the war department and the secre- tary of war has just ordered even more extensive improvements at the fort than had been anticipated Captain J.

It Is proba ble that standard string of tools will have to be put in before that class of ground can be drilled through. Should the drill pene- trate the hard strata below the old river bed 1t Is more than probable that a flow of water will be secured.

PRODIGAL GALAVANTING
OF GOVERNOR WILSON

While some of the Democratic
speakers have found food for hui
morous comments on the absence of
Governor Wilson from the State,
on the basis that the longer he re-
mains away from the Common
wealth, the less harm he can do, it
is still a serious matter for the
Chief Executive to neglect his du-
ties at the expense of the tax-pay-
ers. His vacations" will aggre-
gate nearly three hundred days be-
fore his term expires, and when to
the sum which he draws as Cover
nor is added the salary paid the
Lieutenant Governor, it reaches a
pretty substantial figure.
Governor Wilson contends that
he is advertising the State when he
is attending Harvard College meets,
making speeches at banquets, play
ing golf, and otherwise disporting
himself in the lime-light. Those
NV MS VI
heard him sing at public banquets,
hold a different opinion.
Judge O'Rear stands upon a plat
form which endorses Wilson's Ad-
ministration. The reckless waste
of public money to crafty the van
titles and frivolities Of the Governor
is a part of that administration,
and so the Republican party and it's
nominee cannot escape their share
of the censure that attaches to Will
son for neglecting his duty.
When Wilson was elected he was
just as prodigal in pledges as is
Judge O'Rear. If the one has vio-
lated his pledges, can it be truly
said that the other will not likewise
do so?

Crushing Defeat for the
Laurier Party.
LIBERAL MAJORITY OF 43 VOTES
Fielding. Knox Agreement Will
Not Be introduced at
Parliament.
PREMIER LAURIER RETIRES

Montreal, Canada, Sept. al
The Laurier government and reci-
procity were overwhelmingly de-
feated in the elections held to-day.
BY a veritable landslide, the Lib
eral majority of forty-three' was
swept away, and the Conservative
party secured one of the heaviest
ma orities-upward of ffty-any
Canadian party ever had. Seven
cabinet ministers were defeatd.
The Liberals lost ground in prac-
tically every province of the domin-
ion. Ontario, the leading province,
declared almost n m o u v
against the administration and rec
iprocity.
Robert L. Borden, leader of the
Conservatives, will become the
prime minister. He will be sup
ported in Parliament by a working
majority far more than ample for
his purposes.
The government defeat means the
Fielding-KnoX reciprocity agree
ment, ratified by the American Con-
gress in extra session, will not be
introduced when the Twelfth Par
lament assemblies next month, and
a revised basis of trade with the
United States, looking to closer
commercial relations, will not be
possible in the immediate future.
, The Conservatives are committed
to the policy trade expansion with
in the empire and 2 closed door
against the United States.
Although reelected, the defeat
of the Liberal party also means the
retirement from public life of Sir
Wilfred Laurier. Several times
during the bitter campaign, preced-
! ing to-day's election, the venerable
premier said the defeat of his party
, at the polls meant an end of his ca
reer; that he never would consent
to lead the majority in opposition
to the Conservative government.

Just what inducements O'Rear,
who is still pretending to advocate
the county unit bill, has held out
to McCulloch not only to support
him, but raise money for his cam
paign, is, of course, a matter of con-
lecture, but McCulloch is not only a
shrewd business man, but a very

that he has reached a very satisfac-
