Deal That Meant Wealth.

Jersey City was down In the Rocka-
way river country to establish water
system and build great reservoir. Ia
briskie owned the water rights on the
river and Jersey City had to see him
first. There's more money In water
rights than there Is In grinding neigh
borhood corn. Zabriskie drove a
harp bargain and became rich at just
the time of his life when he wanted to
knock of work for good. 1t looked
then as II he would live out his years
In contentment, but you never can tell
about such things. Son Bert took the
fever and struck out. Months passed
and nothing was heard from him.
One day Lawyer Nelson s. Kitchell
was summoned opposite the mill. He
found the old man rather poorly and
anxious to have his worldly affairs
set in order, for he felt that his end
was fast approaching.
A will had been drawn dividing the
estate into three parts, but as the
rovers whereabouts was unknown, a
codicil was added providing that Bert's
hare should be held in trust by the ad-
ministrators until his young daugh-
ter should reach the age of "a. II
the absent son should return before
that time he could claim his share;

The female fox she is a fox;
The female whale a whale;
The female eagle holds her place
AS representative of race
AS truely as the male.

Doth hold her own with the flying

COUNTY OFFICERS
FEBRUARY 2s. 1912
FIXED SALARIES

The new board of supervisors met
Monday and fixed the salaries of the
different county officers, not already
provided for by law under the con-
stitution.
The first officer whose salary was
fixed was that of the sheriff. The
board decided that the county should
pay the sheriff a salary of S2.400 a
year, and allow him an under sheriff
at $1,000 per year and deputy at
$500 per year. The deputy will be
the jailer.
No salaries were provided for any
other deputy sheriffs whom the
sheriff may appoint from the differ
ent precincts in the valley. AS all
fees charged by the sheriff must 60
to the county according to law, no
provision is made for the payment
of services of deputy sheriffs, ex-
cept what might be allowed by the
board Of supervisors. for work done
under orders from the sheriff, in the
way of serving papers, making ar
rests, etc.
The board fixed the salary of the
clerk Of the Superior Court at 81, ,75O
per annum. The county school su-
perintendent will get 81, 200 per an
mum and is allowed $4,000 for ex.
penses.
The salaries of justices of the
peace were also fixed by the board.
The Stafford justice of the peace win
receive salary of $4,000 per an.
mum. and the Stafford constable will
get $4,000 per annum. The con-
stable in Stafford will perform the
duties Of the deputy sheriff.
The justices Of the peace in Pima
and Thatcher will each receive
$4,000 per annum.
The deputy recorder will receive
q salary of 100000 per annum.
The board Of supervisors evident
ly went over the matter Of fixing
salaries carefully and with view
to economy.
There will probably be no dissatis.
faction with the way the board has
fixed the salaries of officers, not al.
ready fixed by statute, except, per-
haps, in the case of deputy sheriffs
appointed in the different precincts.
In regard to this it may be said that
Graham county has grown so peace
full Of late and the people so good.
that there is little need of deputy
sheriffs and that the sheriff and his
under sheriff can take care Of the
whole county. This being true, the
she1G's office will not be a burden
on the people and will be practically
self-supporting from the fees re-
and in the end will help
lpR'er the tax rate.

WHY COWS STOOD IN WATER.

Priddy in his book, Through the
MILL" relates the Youths Companion.
He painted landscapes, and my aunt,
when benevolently inclined, would
hire him to decorate u walls with
rural scenes, highly colored in glazing
tints, as if nature had turned color
blind. There were COWS in every
scene, and Aunt Mile noticed that all
the COWS. were. up to their knees in
water. Not one stood on the vivid
green hills.

man, why do you always put the cows
In the water?"

artist responded. "You see, ma'am,

SAYS MEN IN THIS COUNTRY
FEEL PASSIONATE DEVOTION

THE OFFICE Is THE TEMPLE
The European Business Man 10 Anx-
Ious to Leave His Work and the
American Business Man Is Anxious
to Go to It.

/ New York.-Mr. Arnold Benefits
observations are always amusing
reading; especially to those who do
not insist the humor shall be hamper
ed with accuracy. There is generally
a good sized kernel of truth hidden
under Mr. BENEFITS extravaganza any
way. So Americans will be interest
ed as well as amused in reading what
the English novelist has to say con-
corning business men and the tele-
phone habit as he observed these
phenomena during his recent visit to
the United States.
"The rough broad difference be-
tween the American and the Euro
pean business man." according to MI.
Bennett, is that the latter is anxious
to leave his work, while the former is
anxious to get to it. The attitude Of
the American business man toward
his business is prominently the at
titude of an artist.
"You may say that he loves money.
So do we all-artists particularly.
No stock brokers' private journal
could be more full of dollars than
Balzac's intimate correspondence is
full of francs. But whereas the ordi-
nary artist loves money chiefly be-
cause it presents luxury, the Ameri-
can business man loves it chiefly be-
cause it is the sole proof of success
in his endeavor.
"He loves his business. 1t is not
his toll but his hobby, passion, vice,
monomania-any vituperative eptihet
you like to bestow on it. He does not
look forward to living in the evening;
he lives most intensely when he is in

stincts are best %appeased by the hour.

ply because they are never out Of the

In the rainy season, when the narrow,
dark brown, shrunken Colorado RACES
beneath the great iron bridge of the
railway, steamers run to the gulf and
up river. Then n may take n OF
the most interesting trips in the west.
Where Rain Is Unknown.
Over the bridge lies the Indian res
ervation, and on it's borders is an In
| teresting primitive corral for the
horses. OF course no roof to the shed
is needed, for it practically rains
in Yuma, and the stages themselves
consist of three open wagonettes, the
covers OF which have long since been
lost.
You get a new idea of Indian control
in the southwest as you step past the
corral. There is a sign forbidding
whites to proceed, unless they have
legitimate business with the Indians,
and stating a heavy penalty for trading
with the redskins. Furthermore, it is
r--L:J-- &I~ ~0ra~Vyo$f0N
without a permit. The whole arrange
ment seems well nigh despotic. The
Yumas live in a sort of forbidden land.
Squaws, with the gay colored blank
cts, pass out. Old men, with their hair
down their backs in innumerable
braids, saunter in or stop to watch the
stages being h~arnessed, and perhaps
to lend an indolent hand to hitching
the four horses.
The homes Of these Indians are pic
turesque, If nothing else. One finds
almost everywhere the primitive
adobes in little groups or else miles
from. the nearest neighbor. Some are
on the open desert, where the sum.
mer sun beats in fury; others are hid.
den away in the tall, narrow weed
Eprairie. Basically, each hut is square,
while from the front there extends a
roof Of dry brush and mud to a pole al
either corner.
Under this hut the gayly clad. red
skins squat. Dogs are everywhere
noiseless as their owners
Children likewise are numerous, and
their quiet demeanor makes them even
most conspicuous, strange as that may
seem. Two Indian boys will occasion
ally gallop past on a horse, otherwise
the reservation eem to repose in per
petual quiet. Maybe it's the heat thai
drives folk to silence; it's like the leth
argy Of a midsummer noon hour. Al
any rate, 1t saps all the strength from
you and you've neither energy nor de
sire to stir when among the redskin,

13, 500, 900. In all, the sale in the four
years has realized nearly $1,000,0 900
