Accidental Death.

Last Saturday evening Anson H. Smith, coroner at Kingman, was called to the Mohave valley to hold an in quest on the remains of Mexican, who had been killed by the accidental discharge of gun. Sunday morning, in company of Judge Carl G. Krook, and Deputy Sheriff George B. Ayers, of Goldroad, the coroner went to the ranch of D. M. Martin, were the re- mains were, and made an examination into the cause of death of the unfor- tunate man. From the evidence it was ascertained that the man had picked up a hammerless shotgun late Friday evening, and not knowing that it was loaded, pulled the trigger. The weap. on was discharged and the recoil of the gun struck him in the abdomen, causing injuries that resulted in death twenty hours thereafter. Doctors had been sent for, but none came. and the poor fellow suffered terribly until death relieved him or all earthly pam.
 Garcia had been left in charge of the Martin ranch, but when the break in the big dike came he and family had to flee to high land, where they were encamped when the accident oc- cured. He is said to have been a hard working fellow and much liked by those that knew him. He left wife and five children in destitute cir cumstances. The family had been working on the Martin ranch with the expectation of paying for a piece of land in the valley. Everything they had was lost in the flood. Owing to the bad condition of the body it had to be buried in the sand bluffs near the camp.

Wide destruction has resulted from the inroads of the Colorado river by the breaking of the big dike of the Cotton Land company. in the Mohave valley. Where there were waving fields of grain few weeks ago the whole country is sea of water. Near Spears Lake the Colorado river is more than five miles wide, and all semblance of the country has been obliterated. The Indians chat were farming in the valley had to hurriedly pick up whatever they could get their hands on in the way of personal effects and flee for their lives to the bigh ground, while the whites had to do likewise. The 100 acres of alfalfa of the Cotton Land company is under many feet of water, while the same conditions exist on the Martin farm. BaIed hay on the places was fioated away by the water, only a few tons being saved. The Martin home is said to have been totally wrecked, as were the homes of the Indians. The big dike has been lost sight of and it is probable that many miles of it has been entirely destroyed. But there is always some good even in the worst calamities, for had it not been for the breaking of the dike it is probable that immense damage would have been done to the town of Needles. When the dike broke the Colorado river receded one foot, and reventing the inundation of the whole lower part of the town.

Basis of Equalization.

Next month the board of equaliza- ton of this county will meet and equalze the taxes of property owners throughout the county. Heretofore the method of equalization has not been the best in the country, but the board was in way handicapped
 Now, the board has rather free hand and it is to be hoped that it will ar rive at an equitable basis and those that have will be made to pay their just proportion. It is wrong to make COW man with about 100 head of cattle pay on 100 per cent, while the COW man with 2OOO head pays on only 25O head of cattle, or only eight per cent This may he taken as a wide divergence from fact by the average reader, but it is the real truth. And again: Men with SO,OOO$ worth of property in the county are made to pay on ten per cent of that amount. or about 8,00O$, while the man having 5OO$ worth of home is made to pay on at least 4OOS. If the property own- CTS aud the board would look at the matter in the right light property valuations would be nearer the right thing than at present. Mohaye county is In the transition stage and the boosting values mean much to us in the way of attracting attention to our wealth. The county this year should show up with the best of them and the property valuations should not be less than 7.000.OOO$, which would not be more than 50 per cent of the real valuation. Should the property owners of kingman take look oyer the list. ment of property he would be sur. prised at the wide divergence of ap- praisement, and it should not take the board of equalization long to remedy the matter. Of course there will be some kicking, but the people will pat the board on the back when they shall have completed the good work.

A Suicide.

Over at Goldroad sometime Saturday night Rudol ph Adolphus. an Italian miner, went into a small tunnel west of the Goldroad mine and shot himself to death with shotgun, the charge entering his body below the heart and tearing a great hole through him. The man was missed the following day, but although search was made in the town no one thought that he would have committed rash act in the talk ing of his life. Monday afternoon some people noticed that buzzards were alighting near the entrance of the little tunnel and went there to in. vestigate and found the body. It was in horrible condition owing to the heat in that place. Undertaken Van Marter was called to attend to the funeral of the unfortunate man and went out there and the burial took place the following day.
 The man left a note stating that he was tired of living. It is stated that he made big losing at poker, and that love affair were the primary causes of the man taking his life. He was aged about twenty-six years.

Mexican Murdered.

Last Saturday night Mexican was murdered short distance from the saloon at Cerbat, the body not being found until the following morning. The man was named Juan Manrique, a miner employed by one of the con- tractors at the Golconda mine. He had been shot through the forehead, the bullet lodging in the brain, whence it was removed by the doctor in mak- ing the autopsy.
 Saturday was payday at the Golcon- da and number of the employees went to Cerbat to have a drinking bout, there being no saloon at the mine. Among the number were Manrique, and also another Mexican with whom he had quarreled some time before over the affections of woman. Man. rique had bought some lunch during the evening, of which the others of the party had partaken, and about eleven o'clock Manrique went out the back door of the saloon, returning a few minutes later very much per- turbed. He went to a white man, for whom he was working, and asked that he might go back to the mine with him. It was so agreed and Manrique went out the back door again. In a moment a shot was heard, but as the Mexicans were in the habit of showing their joy by shooting off their pistols nothing was thought of it by the men. A woman of the half world, whose place was within a short distance of the saloon, heard the shot and heard hurrying feet go past her door, and getting up she went to the door and asked man who was going by what the shot was caused by. He replied that a Mexican had committed suicide She expressed her sorrow for him, but the man replied that he was no good anyhow. and went on. The woman went back to bed and did not report the matter, as she supposed that It was known to all the men. But the three men failed to tell the others in the saloon of the occurrence, and it was not discovered until the following morning. The man who talked to the woman of the crime used good English, but with Mexican accent.
 The sheriff arrested three men, among whom is one that talks excel lent English, while one other is the man that is reported to have threat ened the life of Manrique on account of the woman matter. The men are in jail and the officers are making a thorough investigation into the matter with good prospects of fixing the crime on the proper party.

There are some splendid things
about the short ballot propaganda.
1t is true our present system is faulty.
1t is true the people are now burden
ed with the election of officials that
should be appointed. Minor offices
calling for technical fitness should
be appointive. There is no reason for
requiring the people to elect the state
food and dairy commissioner. the
state printer of the state engineer.
The pruning down of the state bal
lot would be a step in the right di-
rection. Also the county ballot. The
people should give closer and more
business like attention to public af-
fairs. Each set of officials should
by elected by themselves. County

The Pilot Rock Record devotes a
column and a half to the East Ore
gonian because this paper published

Gently by Walter NJ. Pierce when he
opened his campaign for the demo-
cratic nomination for senator.
If the Record will watch this pa
per closely it will observe that it
often publishes the news ''in full
When the corner stone of the East
ern Oregon State Hospital was laid
here few days ago the speeches de-
livered were published by this pa
per. Some of those speeches were
by democrats. some by republicans.
When Theodore Roosevelt emerged
from the wilds of Africa and gave his
celebrated address on citizenship in
a Republic before the Sarbonne in
Paris the East Oregonian published
that speech in full the day it was de-
ivered. 1t was probably the only
small daily in the country that did
so and many metropolitan papers did
not carry the speech in full.
Each fall this paper publishes in
full by innings the news of the
worlds baseball series. When the
worlds pugilistic championship was
settled at Reno this paper covered
the fight by rounds and had its pa
pers on the street with full details
a few minutes after the affair was
over. When a big brigade of Idaho
boosters were here last week they
were met on their arrival by .copie:
CT the East Oregonian containing :
half page of that days news from
their home towns gathered by wire fol
their especial benefit. Also a limo
type sketch of the state of Idaho.
The East Oregonian does suci
things as these because it is a news
paper and desires to live up to tn,
reputation it has of being the bes
small daily paper in the world, pub
lshed in town the size of Pendle
ton. 1t is the opinion of this paper
that if some of it's contemporaries
would follow its lead more closely
than they do and give less time than
they do to politics of the petty, pill.
fering, partisan variety, they would
stand higher with their patrons.
