Mohave County miner., 1912-02-17
Our New Officers.

| the Union was received last Wednes- day the newly elected officers of Mohave county took over their respect i've offices without formallty. The fact that no date certain was named in the enabling act or the Flood resolution made the taking of office by the officers elect rather uncertain proceeding, but the general accepted theory was that the new officers would be induct- ed into their positions as soon as the glad news of statehood was received.
 The most important office in the county is that of Superior Judge which will be filled until the next election by Carl G. Krook, who was selected by the people for that position. MT. Krook will make the people just and and conscientious dispenser of the laws and hls administration will be one of credit to the people.
 l.. M. Teale, after three years in the Probate office of the county has been made clerk of the newly created court, and that he will be an officer that will give general satisfaction goes without saying. Lon Teale is able, conscien- tious and one of the best fellows in the land.
 For Sheriff J. P. Gideon has taken over the reips of government. Joe has been an able and fearless officer who believes in obeying the mandates of the law without fear or favor He has the support of the whole peop e in ad- ministering the law and IS sure to give the people an administration of which they may be proud. He has selected for his chief deputy J. c. Lane, one of the best police officers in the county, and for outside deputy, A. F. Harris has been retained. These officers will make d force that will give the crimi- nal no chance to get away when they once get on his trail.
 For District Attorney the people have an able lawyer in the person of c. w. Herndon, Charlie is genial
 wholesouled, as we'll as knowing how to administer the duties of his office.
 J. w. Morgan retains the office of Recorder and for that position no bet ter selection could have been made by the people. He is one of the most con- scientious and painstaking officers the county has ever had in that position, and has thorough understanding of the duti-, of the office. He will re-
 tain as deputy I. J. Whitney, who has made a record for himself in the of-
 flee.
 For Treasurer Thomas Devine, mine
 host of the Beale was elected by the
 people by great majority. He has
 had large experience in the office and
 will give the people the advantage of bis years of experience in the same position in Coconino county.
 The new board of supervisors carries over with It its pioneer chairman, J c. Potts. The board is made up O. the best set of men ever brought to- gether on board of supervisors in the county, which predecates progres sive administration of that important
 office. The new board is made up O J. c. Potts, w. K. Ridenour and J. $ Withers, Mr. Withers coming over from the Treasurer's office. Under the administration of thls board vii come the building of a new courthouse and the laying out and building o . many miles of new wagon roads : These men have the ability and the
 welfare of the county so much at hear , that they will use every eudeavor tc i build up big and prosperous county It is probable that within the year the l. county will pass into the first class anC , that the people will enjoy much des p tincton from this fact and to the new , board will come the honor of not only J being the first board of supervisors
 under statehood, but of making of the g county one of the first class divisions
 of the new state.
 , H. c. Schader is the new County y Survey or, and now that the county is q one of the richest in the territory we I hope that the county Dads will put 9 him to work surveying out new roads F and strengthening out the kinks and ? plating the old roads. Mr. Schader
