Capt. O. r. Wald Returns

Capt. O. R. Wald, who distin-
guished himself in the Madero
revolution two years ago, has
again returned to Duncan,
1t was Capt. Wald who erected
and installed the cylinder press
for the Duncan Arizonian three
years ago and remained on the
staff for several months; then,
after his military experiences in
Mexico, he returned two years
ago and assisted on the paper
again and for several weeks,
while the proprietor was away
in California, he had full charge
and many of our readers will
recall the splendid paper he put
out. Mr.. Wald is a practical
newspaper man, with years Of
experience, has owned and oper-
ated some good country papers
and has had years of experience
both in the mechanical and edi-
torial departments OF several Of
the leading dallies of the South
west, and it is fortunate for
Duncan that one SO able and eX-
perienced can be obtained to
take control Of the Arizonian.
Mr.. Valid needs no introduc-
ton nor any recommendation
a mere statement that he is back,
taking charge and will remain is
sufficient will inspire conf
dence and reassure patrons and
readers of a square deal.
There is no better town in Ari-
zona than Duncan, and there are
no better people than those found
here, and we fully believe that
the new editor and manager, Mr.
O. R. Wald, will prove that he is
worthy the support Of the good
citizens of Duncan, this Valley
and wherever the Arizonian cir
cuIates, and we also believe that
everyone will unhesitatingly give
him the support he deserves:
With best wishes and good will,
| have the honor to be
Yours truly,
L. F. VAUGHN.

Sixth Anniversary
OF The AriZOnian

The ARIZONIAN is now in its
sixth year; it has gone through
many "ups and downs "a com
plete turnout, suffered many
disadvantages in keeping help
incident to small towns, and
witnessed, perhaps, all the hard
ships to which country Weeklies
fall heir. Notwithstanding all
this the ARIzoNIAN has tried to
remain true to the people and
what it believed to be right and,
to this trust in the people we owe
whatever success the paper has
made.
During the past five years
many sad items have been chrcn-
icIed, perhaps, as many joyful
articles have been published
some readers have been sadden-
ed while others have been glad
dened. But, all these things go
to make up the reliability of the
newspaper-the editor does not
make his news, he only records
it; and humanity and the COM
munity are sometimes better off
when scandal and unworthy arti-
cles do not find their way into
news columns.
The ARIZONIAN owes a debt
of gratitude to its hundreds Of
friends, a debt which, perhaps,
can never be paid, but the graft
tude will always live, and by
chance be paid in piecemeal, a
little here and a little there.
The ARIZoNIAN calls upon every
reader, and those who are to- be,
to assist in making a better pap
er, a greater Duncan, a more
prosperous valley and q more
contented and happier people.

and he and his wife will be well

with true southern hospitality.
We call the attention of our
readers to the Notice in this issue
given by the Board of Supervisors
relating to the sanitary condi-
tions of the town in order to pre-
vent typhoid at this particular
season of the year. The order is
timely and every citizen should
assist Constable Stewart in the
enforcement of the same.
A splendid rain, accompanied
by a magnificent electrical dis
play, Sunday night brought relief
from the heat wave which has
been holding the Gila Valley in
its grip for the past few weeks,
and cur farmers and ranchmen
are wearing a smile this morning.
While not as much rain fell as is
needed, indications are favorable
for more dempness to follow and
everybody feels happy at the
thought that the drouth and
backbone of the hot spell have
been broken.

places and decay near residences.
You, as Constable, are made
the sanitary Inspector for your
district and requires that you
make at least one trip each week
over the district and if you find
any thing that is not sanitary or
that is liable to injure tke health
Of the community, you mus give
the owner Of the premises notice
to remove such substance Or re
medy the matter in some way
and if they refuse to dc so after
you order 1t done, they are guilty
of misdemeanor and subject to
fine.
Now, it is claimed that the
water closets in Duncan are dug
down to water level and that the
water is causing quite a lot Of
sickness.
You should look into this mat
ter and if such is the case see
that all toilets and water-closets
are arranged so that the refuse
will not get into the water.

Supervisors Of Greenlee County:
Yours tah|Y,
