The many friends of Paul Howard Calvin in Kingman and Needles will learn with regret of his death at the home Of his parents in Oswego, N. Y., on the l4th of August. MT. Calvin was we'll known musician, but an attack of the dread white plague cut short what was confidently expected to have been a notable career.
 The board of supervisors is figuring on extending the wagon road along the east side of the railroad through King man Canyon as soon as possible. The, railroad company has grade surveyed through the canyon and the supervis. ors do not wish to conflict with this, grade to such an extent that it might cut off the road, and are awaiting the arrival of the railroad engineer to get a line on the company $ survey. When the road is carried down to the high ground the road through the canyon will be absolutely safe from flood en- croachments. A good wagon road through this canyon is a necessity, as it is used more than all the other roads in the county combined.

Who Win the Demo-
 crats Support.

There are seven candidates on the democratic ticket for electors and it has been puzzle to the democrat that knows none of the men personally whom they shall cast their vote for in the primary. Among those who know all the men the sele ction seems to be George Babbitt, of Flagstaff, as favorite, w. T. Webb, of Pima, next. and John R. Hampton as the other. These three men are considered the most acceptable of the men named on the ticket and we expect that they will receive the undivided support of the party in Mohave county. George Babbitt should receive every vote cast democrat in this county, being a northern Arizona man, and honest as the day is long.
 There are no contests on the other tickets and they will probably go through without a scratch.

Requires Bond of Lessees.

To protect itself against probable re- suits of the recently enacted miners lien law, the Old Dominion company at Globe has posted notice requiring all lessees on its various mining claims to give bond of 5,OOOS, which will work a hardship in many cases. The law provides that lien shall attach to the mining property for unpaid sums due for labor or material furn- ished under contract with the owner or his agents, or persons working the property under lease. or option, or contract to purchase.-Copper Era.

Death of John Barry, ST.

John Barry, ST., one of the oldest in- habitants of the State of Arizona, died at his home in Los Angeles, last Wednesday morning. Deceased had been ailing the past two or three months. his ailment having been diag- | nosed as cancer of the stomach.
 MT. Barry came to Mohaye county in 1872 and resided almost continuously thenceforward at Cerbat and Chloride. During his lifetime he acquired a large number of mining properties ard emassed quite fortune. Some years ago he sold the Minnesota-Co Connor mines, at Chloride, realizing 125,OO0S for the properties. Prior to that time he sold the Cerbat and other prop critics to eastern people, but later purchased the Cerbat from the con- pany. At the time of his death he was owner of the Cerbat, Rolling Wave, Nugget and other mines at Cerbat, the Towne. Tuckahoe and other mines at Chloride, these being among the richest properties in the district.
 He was known to every man, woman and child ln the county, and leaves behind to mourn his loss a wife and two children, John Barry, IT,, and Mrs. Alice Beebe of Los Angeles. The funeral was held from the parlors of Breeze Bros. in Los Angeles.
 Many of the old timers will mourn the loss of one of the pioneers of the county and regret that year by year the grim reaper is depicting the ranks of those that made history in the Sun. shine State, and made it possible for the present generation to dwell with in it's borders with no fear of Indian uprisings nor raids of lawless maraud- CTS.

The board Of supervisors this week have been redstricting the county in the matter of school districts and justice's precincts. County Superin- tendent of Schools, Charles Metcalfe has made map of all the school dis. tricts of the county and filed it with the board in accordance with the new law. Kingman District covers the ter ritory as far west as Signal and east to Wallapai, north to Stockton Hill and south to point directly east from Signal station. The other districts embrace considerable territory and definitely located The board made one precinct of the country along the line of the Santa Fe, embracing Peach Springs. Blackberry, Kingman. Yucca, and Topock, covering more than one hundred miles east and west, possibly one of the largest precincts in the United States. The law making all offices salaried compels the cutting down of the number of Justices of the Peace in each of the fourteen counties of the state, no precinct having more than one Justice. Cochise county has cut the number to five and Maricopa county will have but three. This will cut the expense very materially and yet give good service to the people. The Superior Court being always in session makes it possible to get an early trial of all causes, which re- lieves the justice's courts of much of the business that heretofore came to them. The Justices courts also have limited jurisdiction under the new law, the Superior Court having original jurisdiction of all money de. mands above 2OO$, the former limit being 3OOs.
 The first state primary election will be held in Arizona next Tuesday. al- though the only officers to be voted for are electors and one congressman. Each of the four parties have candi- dates in the field, although the demo- crats have seven electors to choose from. The progressives, republicans and socialists have but three each, the necessary number. There is no fight for the nomination for congress by the parties, each having one candidate. For committeeman there is some doubt as to the law regulating the election of these party managers, and the read ing of the law leaves the impression that none are to be selected only at elections when state and county offic- CTS are to be selected, the old boards holding over.

tickets and they will probably go through without scratch.
 
 The bond election, called by the board of supervisors of the county, for the purpose of voting bonds for a new court house, is to be held on the 29th of this month. The qualification of an elector at this election is that his name is upon the great register of the county and property tax payer, as noted on the property tax roll of the county. The need of the county for a new court house is obvious, the p, esent structure being inadequate and a menace to the public records stored therein. It may not be known by the general run of electors of this county that Mohave county was one of the first subdivisions of the territory of Arizona. and has records dating back to 1864, many of them having great historical as well as monetary value. Were the court house to burn not one of these records would be saved, and the loss would be inca. culable. In the event that the bonds are voted and new structure erected the present building may be removed to the county farm, where it would be of use for the housing of the old and 'ntrm indigents of the county. No one owning property will neglect to go to the polls and cast his vote for a new county building on the 18th of this month.
 The past several days the clerk of the board O. supervisors and Recorder have been busy getting election supplies to the various boards of the county. The supplies for Keohan's must be sent by way of Wickenburg, Bouse and Swansea. a distance of nearly three hundred miles from the county seat. The Littlefeld supplies must be sent west to Daggett, thence over the Salt Lake road to Moapa, whence they will go by stage to it's destination, distance of nearly 800 miles. Many of the other precints range In distance from twenty miles to nearly one hundred miles from the county seat. Getting the results from these various precincts requires many days and considerable expense is at- tached to it. When distances is con- sidered, Mohave county has some of the most remote precincts of any county of the United States.
 Some important probate matters were disposed of this week in the Superior Court. notably the distribu. tion of the Sauls estate. Tuesday last the calendar was called and non. Jury causes were set for trial An order for grand and trial jury was made and the juries drawn. The session of the court will be held on the 16th and the criminal calendar and civil causes in which juries have been asked for will be disposed of. Unless the grand jury finds matters other than those sent up from the Justices courts of the county, the session of the grand jury will be short.
 Walter Brown came down from his ranch north of Seligman few days ago. He reports that there has been a great deal of rain in that section, but that the weather has become quite cool the past ten days. Frost and some ice formed there the night be- fore he left the rahch. The Pleasant Valley ranch of Brown and Haskin is said to be one of the best in northern Arizona and Walter is sure to make big stake in the cattle raising pursuit at that place.

Fire!

With no water with which to
fight it, would you like to hear
the cry of "Fire!" This is the
time of year when fires are most
frequent, because chimneys that
have not been used during the
summer have accumulated more
or less rubbish, and when fires
are started on the first cool days,
the usual consequence is a blaze
of greater or less proportions.
Be careful; but do not stop at
that; call attention of your neigh
bors to the necessity of caution
when they light the first fire.
Frequently during the summer
time chimneys and hues become
damaged from some cause, and
the fact is not known until the
house takes fire. We can think
of no greater subject for consid-
GRAFTON than the thorough inspec-
ton of flues and chimneys before
starting first fires, whether we
are tenants, or landlords. Do
you know that yours is safe?

Set Ills Bed on Fire.

On the 10th of this month the
home of Roy M. Daniels, of
Thompson township, might have
been destroyed by fire but for the
prompt discovery of the blaze
and the fortunate presence Of
help.
Mrs. Daniels had put their lit
tie son, Wilson Riley Daniels, to
sleep in the afternoon, and plac-
ed the little fellow in his cot.
When he awoke he went to his
fathers coat and took out a box
Of matches and began playing
with them. In a short time he
had set fire to a bed, and the
flames were rapidly spreading.
The mother arrived on the scene
in time to rescue the boy, and
she Immediately cried for help to
Chester Rider, of Hancock, who
was passing. Mr. Rider rushed
into the burning room and threw
the bedding out of the window
and eXtinguished the fire before
more serious damage occurred.

A HEAVY HANDICAP.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Health.

In all Of our schools there are
children, who to use the small
boys expression are blind in one
eye and can't see out of the 9TH
er. " Unfortunately often the
children themselves are not
aware of it nor are their parents
and teachers.
Near sighted children struggle
to see the blackboard from their
benches in the rear of the school
room and far sighted children in
the front rows endeavor in vain
to get distinctly the image on the
board Immediately before them.
Children with an astigmatism
in one or both eyes are made un-
accountably nervous and irritable
by the constant demands upon
their imperfect vision. Persist
ent headaches are often caused
by such imperfections.
OF three hundred thousand chill
dren inspected in the rural
schools of Pennsylvania over 50,
600 were found to have defects
of sight which no effort had been
made to correct. Nothing is
more irritating or trying to the
nerves than the continual strain
resulting from the effort to see
through imperfect eyes. To the
growing child, whose brain is
endeavoring to grasp new facts
and solve new problems it is of
ten times an insurmountable bar
rier. There are hundreds of dull
children who could be cured by |
fitted glasses. Unfor-
many parents hesitate
to have small children wear glass |
es on account of appearances or
for other equally foolish reasons.
they fail to realize that often the
wearing of glasses for a few
years is sufficient to correct a Wis
lal error which left uncared for
would continue for a lifetime.
