SOUTH IN FAVOR OF
 TERRITORIAL ROAD
Norris and Ling Return Enthused Over The Prospects For Resumption
 Of Work on Highway

and on through Mesa, Tempe and again across the Center street bridge over the Salt River into Phoenix, completing a distance practically 500 miles over fairly good road, except the necessary connecting up of broken links or bridging streams and washes.
 'At Phoenix we held no formal meeting but the general expression or the people leaves no doubt in my mind of their absolute support of the proposition to complete the north and south road. By the foregoing resolu- tions which were not obtained by any mis-statements or subterfuge what ever. you will see what reasonable and liberal support the people of the southern part of the country are willing to lend in the completion of this all important highway for Ari- zona. It will surprise a good many of us when the roads are done to travel over the southern country.
 The work done is of a character both as to the roads constructed and the bridges built that will last and be useful for years. The projected work in the connecting up of several iinks in the southern country is also proper and a good showing is thus being made.
 'sf do not believe that there is anything which will add to the spirit of ArizOna's progress more than the completion of the north and south highway.
 E'I have argued for the eo-opera- tion of the board of supervisors with oor4ro1 oil tho a0un- ties and have cited the cordial sup port given by the Yavapai board in that respect and also the necessity of the selection of efficient and active county superintendents who will CO operate with the highway engineer
 "'I cannot emphasize too strongly the conservative, earnest work of the board of control. The other members feel that the governor is deeply in terested in the subject and MT. Craig the citizen member. and MT. J. B Grand. the territorial engineer, with whom We had the pleasure of tray cling with and who were present at all the meetings. surely deserve high credit for the conservative, thought ful explanations and statements made in their addresses and in answer tC all questions.
 "'I cannot be too full in my eX pression of the appreciation the peo 1 pie should feel toward Reese M. Ling i for his presence on this trip and al all the meetings, where he uniformly made convincing arguments both pub liely and privately iii the meeting' and out for the completion of thu north and south road and it had it effect.
 ''To conclude, am more than gla' that it now appears assured that thu work on the north and south high way will be commenced in earnes with the purpose of keeping it in tn most active operation until the roa' is completed"

.M|SCREANT CUTS 1. ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE

Friday night about S.30 o'clock a portion of the electrical lighting sys- tenn of the Arizona Power Company was put out of commission by some unknown person. The Elks theater, courthouse, jail, plaza, Cortez street. and many other places on the circuit. were dark for over two hours, or un-- til an investigation resulted in To- eating the interruption. The point where the nefaTiOus work was per formed\ was on Willis street, where the wire was cut by some one, 1t is believed, who is conversant with the location of the current that furnishes power to the above localities An investigation revealed the fact that the perpetrator crawled through as maze of wires on three yardarms, before the wire was reached that served the above sections, and in order to do so must have been familiar with the system, and cOnversant with the elee- trieal business. Only one wire was cut. After the trouble was To- cated, the severed wire was connected and service immediately resumed,
 M. V. Watson, general manager of the company, was not in the city Friday, being in the field looking over the line, and when informed of the occurrence, authorized LeROy An derson, the eompany's attorney, to offer a reward for the apprehension of the guilty one, and to institute 8 rigid investigation.

DEFEATED
 NEARLY THREE TO ONE
(From Sundays Daily.)

People of Yavapai county yester- day showed their positive disapproval of prohibition by appearing at the polls in unexpectedly large numbers and overwhelmingly voting for the licensed saloon.
 The total vote east in the two in- eorpOrated cities Prescott and Je- rome) showed that those cities op- posed prohibition by a vote of three and three-tenths to one. Out of forty-eight precincts, all the import ant ones have been heard from, and show that the outlying districts have gone wet by a two to one vote, making the county total two and a half to one in favor of the vets.
 On Friday night, the prohibitionists held mass meeting in the city plaza. The lights went out and the speakers utilized the opportunity to bitterly denOunee the saloon element. At the same time, the saloon men were hold ing a meeting in Elks' hall which suddenly became dark, and they tried to hold a meeting by the light of candles but gave up in disgust and adjourned to a nearby street corner and proceeded to offer large rewards for the misereants who broke up their meeting. Yesterday the power com pany started an investigation and it is said will offer a large reward, which the saloon men will immediate ly increase.
 There was great activity by both sides in bringing voters to the polls and as a result the unexpectedly large vote was boiled in this city, more than was cast at the constitu- tional election. Although excitement was at a high pitch, there was no trouble of any consequence reported, other than a few oral disputes grow ing out of challenges.
 The anti-prohibitiOn sentiment also prevailed throughout the county, only five precincts of those heard from, giving dry majorities. These were the two Verde precincts, Minnehaha, Kirkland and Jerome Junction. Three of these were already dry under pre- vious district local option elections, while Walker which is dry for the same cause reversed itself and voted against prohibition by majority of { one.
 Unquestionably, the prohibitionists would have boiled more votes in Prescott had their leaders not resort ed to personal abuse, villifieation and positive misrepresentation. This method of campaigning disgusted many of the electors and they re corded their disapproval by voting against prohibition. On the other hand the saloon men won votes by presenting their arguments in s

Perhaps no one will thank you for the
efforts that you make
To spare the feelings OF a friend or foe;
When you listen to a story Just for old
acquaintance sake
And laugh at anecdotes Of long ago.
Your great forbearance toward the man
who slaps you on the back
And wrings your hand until tbs limp
and lame
It's due appreciation on this earth may
sadly lack,
But the angels will record 1t just the
Be patient. friend, and do not smite the
person at the play
Whose rhythmic feet keep tapping on
your chair,
Nor threaten him who huns the tunes
the orchestra may play
Or to his friend relates the plot with
care.
IT'S true, your little sacrifices made from
day to day
Scant notice from the busy world will
claim.
They may be dismissed as TRIES, as the
crowd moves on its way,
But the angels will record them just
the same,

The three Commissioners, with no

Congress and the President the exclusive

to divide with the local community the
privilege OF petition. The local comIiu-

A Watchdog Of the Treasury.

An old political phrase has come into
use again, and with II tho name Of the
man who wore It. William s. Holman of
Indiana was for years 'the watchdog OF
the Treasury" He played the part to the
limit. His eyes were peeled for appro-
priations Of every kind. and such as he
did not consider justified he tried to de-
feat. The sum Of his activities is not
known. Equally unreliable are the ap-
praisements OF friends and those of foes.
By his friends he was accredited with
saving the country enormous sums OF
money. which had he not been on guard
would have gone to jobs OF shady de-
scription. By his enemies he was rated
as a mere skinfiint. more under the in
fiuence Of bile than brains. and OF a dis
position to be disagreeable often at the
expense OF meritorious propositions
Whatever his services in the House. he
was a man of unusual ability. He knew
the law. He made a study Of congress.

changes. He took his duties seriously.

and attended to them diligently Apply
ing to him an expression minted since he
quit the scene, he was always on the
job" Whether his own or the opposite
party was in power. he worked without
rest. He probably answered as many roll
calls as any national legislator OF his day
In appearance he was not attractive. He
was both homely and awkward. His hand
shake was a little shy-had a what-is-it-
you-went? effect He made no claims to
oratory and was not even an entertain
ing talker. His voice was thin and rasp-
ing. His address, Mr.. Spikar,'' always
secured attention. but not for music or
manner.
But his awkwardness and prosiness did
not hide the matter Of his speeches which.
as a rule, was to the point. He was full
OF matter. He had read widely on cur
rent topics, and had his information on
the tip Of his tongue. In debate he was
q dangerous customer Proof against
ridicule because he had been ridiculed so
much. and ready with his reasons every
time, he was not to be attacked lightly,
either by veterans seeking to overthrow
him. or by raw recruits seeking personal
advertisement.
What he might have accomplished had
he taken a different course in the House
had he not made himself a standing OBJ
jector-is merely question for specula-
ton. What he did accomplish as respected
his general position in that body he him
self very well knew. Mentioned once for
the speakership by an old friend, he
laughed pleasantly and replied that the
Office. Of course. was entirely beyond his
reach. Brought forward by a New York
newspaper as q good man for his party
to nominate for President, he thought he
was being chaffed, and hesitated about
accepting an invitation to meet the edi-
tor. He had chosen an unpopular course
as a legislator, ana well understood the
large amount of unpopularity 1t had
brought him. But he never complained.
