AW JANIS B. NEYN SVt)

Governor John NJ. Slaton frequent
ly reminds his callers Of former Gov
ernor Joseph N. Brown, and they
so remark. particularly in the sim
plicity Of his methods of work and in
his heed Of the constitutional limi-
tations and requirements attaching
to his high office.
Governor Slaton enteEtains a very
great respect for the Legislature. for
one thing. and invariably gives care
ful consideration 10 every matter
placed before him by that body.
The Governor was for seventeen
years a member OF the Legislature
and knows personally and intimate
ly several thousand former colleagues
and aSsociates scattered all over
Georgia. He looks upon a legisla-
tive mandate as something to be &C
cepted at its fun face value, both as
to the .orm and the substance OF
the same
In the matter OF adjusting the
schoolbook situation in Georgia, Tor
instance. the Governor was unwilling
to be a party. as a member or the
State School Board, to anything that
had even the appearance OF interfer-
ence with the legislative VIII, as ex-
pressed In a law enacted at the sum
mer session setting up legislative
board OF investigation into the pres
ent schoolbook situation. The Gov
ernor looks upon the various depart

entirely subordinate to the Genera!
Assembly.
Another thing about Governor Sla-
ton that reminds one Of Governor
Brown is the intense seriousness with
which he views his prerogatiVes in
the matter of Clemency.
The mere fact that the Governor
has vested within MIN extraordinary
and highly arbitrary powers of Glenn
ency seems to make him more care
full In exercising It than in anything
else appertaining to his office.
The petitioner for clemency who
comes before Governor SlatOn must
have mighty clean bill OF health,
or nothing much is going to happen:
The Governor also gives much OF
his time TO callers. He has many
friends, and many Of his calls are
purely social. L MI WHO GDlhct ub"

welcome.

SUED FOR BIG DAMAGES

PHOENIX, July 15.-Waldo 3.
Christy. administrator for the estate
of Asmaquio Valencia, who was
killed in the Vulture mine workings
on May IA, has brought suit in the
Superior Court of this county against
the Vulture Mines Company, under
the provisions of the Employers

Valencia was a mucker in the Vul-
ture mines engaged in shoveling the

boulder fell from the roof, hit the
side of the car and struck him, in
Turing him so badly that he died

at this time is merely in compliance
with the provisions of the State law
covering accidents of this kind. II
is understood that the Vulture Mines
Company will settle the case &C
cording to the provisions OF the law
without fight or argument.

"TRAIE OF PADRES"
NAME SUGGESTED
For West Section Of the National
Highway From Albuquerque 10
The Coast.

1t was decided at this meeting
that the road signs adopted by the
association should be copyrighted to
assist in governing their use. This
action was taken to preserve the
integrity of the route west OF Santa
Fe as chosen at the Kansas City
convention of the National Old
Trails Association.
To further the interests of the as
ISOLATION in Yavapai county, a VICE
president was chosen for the north
ern part of this county. F. ,.
Dickerson, of Seligman, was appoint
ed to this office.
Father Vabre, of Flagstaff, made
a suggestion regarding the name CT
this highway which met with the
hearty approval of the meeting. 1t
was that the road west of Santa Fe
be known as the Trail OF the
Padres" This name was suggested
to commemorate the fact that this
country, practically along the route
chosen was travelled by the Spanish
Padres a century and more ago, long
before the Santa Fe Trail was
known.
1t was shown by the report oil
the assistant. secretary that a NUM-
Der of the vice-presidents were be
hind in payment due the association
and that a disproportionate amount
of the expense of the association
had fallen upon Mohave county. Th'
various vice-presidents in attendance
guaranteed that the amount due iron
their districts were Immediately pal;
and that future calls for funds woui'
be met promptly.-Mohave Miner.

HEAVY VALUATIONS
PUT ON RAILROADS
(From Thursdays Daily

AJ'NOll llui SudJ . DoiiJJ
The State Tax Commission at
Phoenix has made a return to the
Board of Supervisors Of Yavapai
county of the assessed valuation
placed on various railroads in this
county, which are to be entered on
the tax roll at the sums indicated.
The valuations placed on all lines
for 1918 show an astonishing in
crease over the assessment made N
1912. For instance, the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe line, which
runs through the northern part OF
the county, is assessed this year at
the rate of SOL, 900 per mile, as
against $4,000 per mile in 1912.
The Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoe-
nix Railway is likewise affected by
raise of over 100 per cent, and
goes on the tax roll this year at a
valuation of $4,000 per mile, as
against Sl2,500 per mile in 1912.
The various roads and their assessed
valuations for the current year ap-
pear below, with the mileage each
cover in this county:
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
R. R. Co., 6236 miles, S03,o6O.
Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix R.
R. Co., 1913 miles, $4,l24,4OO.
Verde Valley Railroad, 1.l6 miles,
1925, 10000;
United Verde & Pacific R. R.,
26.26 miles, S472,680.
Prescott & Eastern R. R., 2o.4O
miles, $4,000.
Bradshaw Mountain R. R., $3.50
miles, $4,000.
Arizona and California R. R.. ll.3S
miles, $284,5O
Congress Con. G. NJ Co, 1916
miles, $4,000.
With this increased railroad assess
ment to prevail, the tax roll OF
Yavapai county was computed yes
terday at over S40,OOO,00O. The
above railroad valuations were fixed
by the State Tax Commission under
recent law passed by the Legis-
lature, the authority given by the
act taking the power out OF the
hands of the county affected. Cal,
culations are being made that the
tax rate of the county for the current
wear should not exceed a few cents
over SlOO on the 500 valuation BY
the tax roll as now compiled.

DID LIGHTNING
CUT OFF BOWL OF PIPE
(From Wednesdays Daily

(From Wednesdays Daily
Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Birch had
very unwelcome caller at their
home on the corner of Mccormick
and Willis streets yesterday after
noon during the heavy rainstorm.
when the elements sent a bolt or
lightning into their back yard which,
for the time. being, created alarm
and CONSERVATION in that household
Fortunately, however, neither SUI
fered any personal injury, although
the proverbal CLOSE calf was ex-
emplified by each and they are con-
graduating themselves that the freak
visitor, was soon out OF sight and
incidentally had spent its wrath on
other subjects.
The bolt came from the northwest
and a big box elder tree being in
its path in descending, proved a
saving clause in their earthly exist
ence. The bolt struck the tree
full and fair, and when the flash
followed, four chickens in "a box at
its foot were instantly killed. The
tree was within ten feet of the
kitchen door, and directly in range
OF the course taken by the bolt to
the point in the room where Mr.
and Mrs Birch were standing. In
.tantly after the terrific explosion
occurred, the interior of the rooms
was ablaze, and a dense smoke
was emitted by the flash.
Running into the open. Mr.. Birch
endeavored to "size up" the situa-
ton, when he resumed his COM
posture and found out he was carry
ing in his mouth the stem of a pipe
which he was smoking when the
crash occurred. The rest of the
utility was found later in the room,
and he is unable to account for the
loss of the bowl and the stem that
was found attached thereto. 1t was
snapped off close to his lips, but
how quick the trick was turned he

BISBEE. Ariz., July l6.-The
Cleanup" campaign which has been
so successful in the Warren district
and has undoubtedly reduced the
many Summer ills here to the mini
mum. has been extended to Naco'
and the border town is now IN
process of complete house cleaning.
The order for cleaning up Naco
was issued some days ago. Stores
and places of business were inspect
ed and about a half dozen were
warned that they were maintaining
nuisances and that the law was
being violated. They were given
sufficient time to clean up and a
second inspection was made. 1t
was found that the orders had not
been complied with in a number
of cases and, as a result, a number
of warrants were issued and the
offenders will be called into court
County health officers state, how
ever, that, on the whole, Naco has
given its hearty cooperation in the
cleanup and that the town is no"
in a good, sanitary condition.
Shippers of meat have taken Ia

FRIGHTFUL WOUND
INFLICTED BY RACE HORSE
(From Thursdays Daily

Juan Olea was frightfully dis
figured, but not fatally injured, on
the Santa Maria river on Monday
afternoon while training a race horse
owned by Alfred Stapp of Skull
valley, having the entire right side
of his face from the lips to the
scalp lacerated and torn away as II
the wounds were inflicted by a
knife. Particulars of this unfortunate
accident were learned yesterday from
Robt. E. Miller, who placed Olea
aboard a wagon and travelled to the
railroad station OF Hillside, Is miles
distant, and brought him to Mercy
hospital in this city on Tuesday
night. Olea stated that the horse
stumbled and fell to the ground,
throwing him underneath. In re-
gaining its feet, the horse stepped
on his face with all its weight,
sinking the shoes into the flesh and,
as he believes, kicking at him in its
frenzy. Mr.. Miller was near the
scene and fastened to Olea, who rose
to his feet but in few seconds fell
to the ground and was unconscious
for sometime afterward.
An examination OF the wounds
showed that the entire side of the
face of Olea had been opened, ex-
posing the teeth, jawbone and other
members on the right side, the flesh
tapping to the side of the neck and
presenting a horrible spectacle. Yes
terday the flesh was replaced, in a
delicate operation performed; and
it is believed the injured man will
soon recover, but that he will be
disfigured for the rest OF his life, is
the opinion of the attending physi-
clan.
Olea was to ride the horse that
injured him in a race with Bob
Shultz, on a bet OF 500 a side, to
take place OH the Santa Maria on
August 7, in a quarter OF a mile
dash. Olea figured prominently 4;
a cowboy in the Frontier Day cele-
bration in this city. He is a fine
rider, and one of the best in all
