| The valuation of property assess. able in Yuma County is $13,21S,S ,S6O. 50, tax rate or Yuma County $1.75 per $100 % valuation; assessed valuation for last year, $4,507, ,401 49, tax rate $4.01 per $100.00 valuation. Loes that look good? Take out your pencil and see if the Democrats, State and County kept their pledges, not on your life Not satisfied with the large expense of last year the State de mands of Yuma County $68, ,738 or as against $40, ,566O61 last year some diff ference. All together taxes last year were $1S0,746 80 this year 231, ,329. 06, economy. What?.
 The County Poor Farm should be abolished. That is if the County board of supervisors is doing the best that can be done with it. Last year it ocst the County $2,465 26 with the magnificent return of $98.55; that is a business administration, you bet. This | year the Board has the nerve to ask for $3,112.OO for the same purpose and admit that they expect the farm to bring in '$1,000 .O0, and forty acres at that, and the County paid enough for it to be first class land That is some advertisement for the fertile Yuma valley. It is the worst knock yet Don't laugh, the poor fellows are doing the best they can probably, but then one can't see just how the Coun- ty should get stuck, when they could board the inmates of the County Poor Farm for less money right here in Yuma. In other words, it cost the County to run the Poor Farm last year $2, ,563. .85 and now the Board wants $4, 112 .00 to run it the coming year And they admit that $1,O0O. % is all they can make on 40 acres.
 The imbecile son of drunken shoe string peddler could do nearly that we'll with a crooked stick in any back yard in Yuma That's efficiency fol you. Sell the farm! And board the inmates in town.
 One has. to stop to figure what the board is going to do with the difference this year; if it was not necessary for a County Immigration Commissioner last year, did the row Elliot stirred up with J. w. Edwards have anything to do with the oppoint- ment of his cousin as Immigration Commissioner for the coming year? If the law limits the expenditure of the County Immigration Commissioner to $1, 500 % how does it happen that the Board spent $2,140 10? 1t may be that the Board is figuring on getting

PRESCOTT, Aug. II. Evidently with the purpose of adding a little more tobasco or some other caloric kind of condiment to it's proceedings, the grand jury had the newspaper profession on the judicial carpet in an attempt to have the editor of the Pres colt Journal-Miner punished for con tempt for refusing to take part ot the oath which that body or some member of ia had evolved.
 But Judge Smith decided that the witness was within his rights, and so told that body in the afternoon, after he had an opportunity to look up the law governing the matter. The meat of the whole matter is that the in uuisitorial body exceeded its Jurlsdlc- tion when it attempted to include ln the oath a provision that the witness would pledge himself to not divulse the testimony given before it, or what had transpired while he was closeted in the holy of holies.
 Until some obliging legislature en- acts a statute incorporating such all oath, witnesses will be free to walk out of the grand jury room and talk to their hearts content about the pro ceedings, what questions were asked them, on what subjects they were quizzed and any other information they to give out without fear they will be called to account-that is, as long as the information divulged does not ob- struct the ends of justice.
 It seems these are troublesome days and nights around this latitude and longitude, for gambling which has been the recent subject of inquiry, has set the town by the ears. For the enlightment of the dear public the Journal-Miner in it's Wednesdays is-

That's only part of it, but we will let it go at that.
 In fact instead of retrenching and economizing as they promised to do. the Board has raised the limit al lowed by the law as passed May '. 1913, and all one can say is that ii is a God send that it is no higher: considering the results we are getting.
 They made an under estimate on one item and that is elections, it will cost more than s1,7OO on the recall elections alone The recall should have been exercised long ago on the parties at fault instead of allowing few of the venomous ones to work uD prejudice against insignificant Coun- ty officials whose holding office didn't make five cents worth of difference to the taxpayers whether they stayed in or went out; chances are it was done to attract attention from other more important yhings that might have engaged the attention of the electors had they not been thus en- gagged

TULSA, Okla, Aug. 11.-To have been 51 years old when Daniel Boone was foraging west through Kentucky and to have been far too old to enlist in the Civil war seems an incredible is claimed by John Black, half-breed Cherokee Indian, now living nea1 TuSla.
 Black says he was born in 17S6, almost hundred years before the Civil war started, and seven year before the birth of Napoleon Bona parte. Black looks as if he might bti considerably over hundred years old, but how old he is is hard to tell.

NEGLECTED WIVES

A married woman became infatuated with. man who was not her husband :. She wrote this man letter every day
 Wild, reckless, impassioned, impru- dent letters, which the Judge refused to allow read in court.
 She believed her lover would guard her letters like precious gems, ana that he would in every way protect her name.
 The husband naturally, in time, learned of the relations existing be- tween his wife and the other man.
 He began proceedings for a divorce
 So soon as the lover learned of this he went to the husband and asked for private interview.
 Then he informed the injured man that he had a package of letters in his possession which would make it an easy matter for the divorce to be gained.
 The price he demanded for the let ters was the husbands promise to ob- tain the divorce quietly and make no mention of the correspondents name.
 And this was the Romeo for whom q wife had sacrificed her honor ant her good sense and her self-respect!
 What humiliation of spirit, what self-contempt, what shame, she must have experienced when the miserable story came to her knowledge.
 When the husband obtained his di yorce the lover was not waiting out side her door to sanctify the relation by marriage.
 He was hurrying to distant scenes 70 avoid an unpleasant notoriety.
 He was one of many men who are ever ready to enjoy the position of 2 lover to a married woman, but arc aot at all eager to make the woman ! wife after she is freed.
 That type of man feels it certain kind of honor to be known as par9 nour of a married woman but he re yards it dishonor to be that woman's husband when she is lib arated and at his command.
 Yet in spite of the fact that sucl cases are to be be seen in the world all, about us, other women take no warn ing, and rush into similar compromis- ing situations, blindly believing the affinity will be eager and glad tc claim her as his own, once she is free.
 When a wife, however neglected and misused she may be begins to confide her troubles to another man and to seek for his sympathy, it will be we'll for her if she turns over the files of old newspapers and reads some of the divorce trials which are occurring and reoccurring every year.
 It will be we'll for her if she sits alone in her room and recalls some of the cases she has personally known,
 
 and seeks vainly to find shining ex- amples of brave and loyal lovers who have stood bodily by their scandal zed mistresses and protected them with fine honor at the very alter.
 And if she finds such example, she would do we'll to follow them through the years after the marriage and see now many have brought the woman happiness in her new relations
 There is something about a woman who has proven false to her marriage VOWS and who has compromised her self with another man which seem o lessen her value even in the eyes of the man who has led her into 'olly and it is seldom that peace or happiness ever accompanies the two across the threshold of new life.
 Men are quick to boast of the fa- rors of married women.
 But they do not prize them.

1T will be real miracle OF provi-
dence If war, even al the twelfth hour.
could be prevented. My impression is
that j; is too late. and that ii is i'm
possible TO prevent IT,
"By far the greatest responsibility
is with the six great powers. To mo
il is perfectly clear that If the great
powers were united in their wish to
prevent a new Balkan war they could
do it without difficulty. That they
have not been united SO far naturally
raises suspicion that at least some
OF them do not sincerely wish TO pre-
vent it Further developments are
likely 10 prove this theory.
What l wish TO impress upon tho
readers is the fact that strife between
the Bulearians. the Greeks and Ser
vians about Macedonia is an old strife
which was only suspended during the
war with Turkey. Another important
fact which ought to be known is that
the Balkan alliance was made on tho
initiative. by the invention and by the
guidance of Russia. Russian diplo-
macy seems to have said 10 the states
men in Belgrade. Sofia and Athens. by
your disunion and discord You have
enabled the Turks TO conquer your
countries. 1t is stupid and criminal to
continue Your strife TO this day. Bet
ter unite 10 drive away the Turks from
Macedonia and afterward YOU will come
to terms concerning the partition of
the conquest"
Midiavtch concludes his article
thus: Very grave developments are
looming on the European horizon and
il will again he miracle if the new
Balkan war does not speedily and in
evitably lead to general European
war"
