1911 duplicate assessment role. We recommend that the next File of Claims be in small compact form, half the size of the present Book l, and that the notations be restricted to the Date of Filing, Claim number, and Claimants name.
 We further recomend that a new Classified Record of Claims for the Supervisors office be purchased to supplant the present one, as the pres ent one is obsolete insofar as the pres gregations are incomplete. We re- commend that the book be made in accordance with the written request of the present Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, and attached to this re- commendation.
 We. earnestly recommend that no of ficer allow any public record to be taken out of his office by any person or persons not having the authority to do so, and that in the case of per sons in authority calling for any re- cord that the said officer take good and sufficient receipt for it's safe and prompt return; also that a book be kept giving the name and date of every document filed in the office of the Board of Supervisors.
 We recommend that the County At torney be allowed the services of a
 
 such cases in which he may require such services.
 Specific Recommendations We recommend that civil suit be entered by the County of Greenlee against J. H. T. Cosper, George Webster, and B. F. Billingsley, who constituted the Board of Supervisors for the year 1911, to recover money alleged to have been misappropriated by them in the matter of building the Clifton-Duncan county road.
 We recommend that the present Board Of Supervisors take proper steps to recover from MT. J. A. Farrell, money over-paid him as commissions on erroneous estimates made by him 1 to the ex-Board in connection with 1 the erection of the new Court house | of Greenlee county.
 We recommend that the Sheriff and his deputies be instructed by the Court to investigate any violations ot the Anti-Gambling Law and report to the County Attorney with all evid- ence they may collect.
 We condemn the action taken by the old Board of Supervisors in urg- ing the County Attorney to prefer charges against MT. Frank Sanders the then County Auditor, for erasing defacing and mutilation of County records, as such charges were in ouI opinion, quite incompatible with any sincere purpose of enforcing the law
 We desire to thank the Court, the County Attorney, and the Sheriff's of fee for the able and efficient aid they have rendered us, in performing oul duty. We also wish to thank the var ious County Officers for the aid anC assistance given our various commit tees in their examinations of their of ficerS and records.
 We also wish to thank the Honor able Judge of Greenlee County fol the use of his chambers for the pur pose of holding the sessions of this Grand Jury.

county has had the patient to be talk en to private hospital for the opera tion and was attended there for ten days We find that an operation, table has been purchased by the coun- ty, but absolutely no other articles furnished to conduct an operation. We also believe that the above table. is entirely unsuitable for an opera tion In case of a serious case being brought to the hospital for attention the patient would probably die before the proper attention could be given We find that Greenlee county has been without the services of a county physi- clan for some time, that the Board of Supervisors on May 7th, appointed Dr. H. V. Bogue to that office. Dr. Bogue, being out of the county, it has been impossible to inform him of his and the county is still without the services Of a physician. We find that there has been an aver age of less than two patients in the county hospital since it's establishment At the present time there is but one. There are no medicine cases, medicine nor surgical instruments in the build ing We recommend that the Board of Supervisors of Greenlee County make arrangements to have county patients taken care of at one of the private hospitals situated in Clifton, until such time as Greenlee County can obtain suitable quarters, as in our opinion above building is a danger to the public welfare.
 County Assessor.
 We have examined and heartily ap- prove of the condition in which we find the Assessors books, and in the manner in which they are kept, and commend MT Kirby for the excellent manner in which he has conducted his office Believing however, that the work in the office of County As sessor will be facilitated and the me- thods of conducting such office be | improved by them, we recommend the introduction into the office of con- plete duplicate of the Abstract now being made for the Board of Super visors, and separate maps of all sur veyed townships in Greenlee county be made with such notationS as to buildings class of construction, con- tents, pipe lines, or such other items of value as will enable the proper of ficials to quickly arrive at a just es- timate for the purposes of assess ment.
 County Treasurer.
 We investigated the manner III which the business of the County Treasurers office is conducted, and find that the books are kept in neat ] and orderly manner, and that the | Treasurer be commended for the ef ficient way in which he has filled his office, notwithstanding the draw-ba cR of a poorly lighted and entirely in adequate office room and fixtures.
 Board of Supervisors.
 We find the books are now kept ir a neat and orderly manner, but wish to recommend that the Clerk of the Board exercise due carefulness anc neatness in copying the original as sessment role on to the treasurer duplicate role, and diligence and eN actness in copying the figures and SC
 gregations, in view of the fact tha errors were found in the Treasurer

WICKLIFFE's PROPOSAL TO USE
CANAL MACHINERY.
INDORSED.

Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. 1.-THE
proposal of the Fort Smith CONNER
cial League that commercial organi-
cations of the United States join
with it in asking that the Federal
Government maintain the organiza-
ton and continue the use of tho ma
chinery now in commission in the
Panama Canal Zone, and that there
be established a national depart
ment of engineering, separate from
the War Department, marks the be-
ginning of an active campaign to
have the matter brought to the at
tention of Congress for suitable legis-
lation. The idea is to use the canal
machinery in improving the rivers
and harbors of the country, ard in
cidentally, in view Of the record of
the Panama Canal work, that Colonel
George w. Goethals, Chairman of the
Isthmian Canal Commission, be made
head of the department of engineer
ing.
The movement took the form ef
resolutions adopted by the Fort
Smith Commercial League. Copies
of the resolutions have been sent ta
the president, the secretary of war
Colonel Goethals, each member Ct
the House and Senate, and to the
principal commercial bodies of the
country, with the request that sucE
bodies take similar action"

HARDsHIPs in STORM CRIPPLED
DESTROYER COMES
INTO PORT.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 9.-Battered
and crippled, the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Terry limped into port to-day
with one engine working. A thrill
ing story Of her battle with wind and
wave was told by the crew. All
marveled that they were alive to tell
the tale.
The Terry had been assigned to
scout at distance of about 500 miles
to the northeast of New York in the
war game maneuvers and was some
where off Cape Sable on the Nova
Scotia coast when the storm struck
her late Saturday. For forty-eight
hours the little craft was almost at
the mercy of the seas. The wind
blew hurri cane, washing the decks
CT the, destroyer and carrying away
not only every life boat, but also
heavy boxes containing tools and
equipment, which were fast to the
decks.
For two days there was nothing
cooked on board the vessel. the
eighty-two members of the crew hav-
ing to live on canned goods while
working necessarily at the pumps.
All bedding and clothing was soaked,
and when, on Sunday night, the Ter
rvs steering gear was washed away,
it looked as though the end had
come. By heroic efforts this was re-
paired, and the destroyer's COM
mander, Lieut.. Com. John G.. Ere

CAPT. o. B. STEELE.

Captain Steele. through nearly
thirty years, has been intimately con-
nected with the financial manage
ment Of the State, and has come to
be regarded as the unchallenged and
unquestioned authority, not only on
the history and composition Of the
State debt, whose liquidation and re-
funding must be consumated in the
next four years, but on the entire
method and system which governs
the collection and disbursement of
the millions OF. taxes paid by the

eople Of the commonwealth.

people OF the commonwealth.
| Capt. Steele has been State SEN
| ator, State Auditor and State Treas
urer and attache of other depart
| ments. He is counted among the
foremost bankers of this State. The
! Constitution renders him. Ineligible
to succeed himself as State Treas
urer. and attache of other depart
Auditor, an Office he held once in the
past. As Auditor he would continue
a member of the Board of Liquida-
tion-a body whose deliberations
are fraught with gravest RESPONSE
bility, and where there should al
ways be an element possessed of
sound judgment, knowledge of the
States finance and trained expert
|.ence in handling other peoples
money.
All these qualifications Capt. Steele
possesses, and the State would be.
distinctly the loser were It deprived
OF his services, as it would be were
he defeated for the position to which
he now aspires.
Through intimate association with
State governmental affairs during re-,
cent years, the management of this
paper has come to know the very
great, even if quiet and unostenta
tious, part Capt Steele has played
in solving the difficult questions of
administering the States finances
which have had to be met and set
tied since Governor Sanders took
Office in 1908.
1t is the distinct and settled con-
viction of this paper that Capt. Steele
could not have been spared from the

not wisely be spared for the next
