Our Highway Praised.

Last spring Messrs. Markshetfel and, Drummond passed through kingman on their way from Colorado Springs 10 the coast over the northern highway. They were quizzed by Mir. Wheelock,. of the Good Roads Association, re- garding the roads and their reception on their journey. The following let ter was received few days ago in reply:
 R. P. WHEELOCK, Sec'y
 Mohave County Good Roads Asso.,
 Kingman. Arizona. DEAR SIR:-In answering your let ter of March 3lst, 1 wish to apologize for my delay, but after returning home from the coast I found great many things to do and have been very busy up to the present time.
 I wish to say that taking it as whole we had very pleasant trip from Colorado Springs to the coast and found nearly everyone we came in contact With very courteous ana oollg- Ing. If it were not for few of the bad spots between Holbrook and WInslow, Flagstaff and Williams in, Arizona, and Needles and Barstow Tn California, there would be nothing to, it. However, l appreciate the fact that it takes considerable time and money to accomplish all these things. and both Mr. Drummond, who was my companion, and myself noted with pleasure that great deal of work is being done along the route.
 Trusting you will pardon my delay in answering your letter, beg to re- main Yours very truly,
 A. ". MARKSHEFFEI..

Public Examiner Plunket, who has been examining the county offices the past week, departed to his home in Phenix last Sunday. The officers that come in contact with Mr. Plunket ara well pleased with his abilities and personality. He was of the opinion that Mohave county should take the classification made for it by the state legislature, but it is doubtful if this will ever be done. When this classi- tication was made Mohave county was one of the smallest in point of popn- lation and taxable wealth of any of the counties of the state, while today it is numerically stronger, while its taxable wealth is five times greater. Therefore it would be unfair to officers to ask them to fill the offices of a first class county for the pay of a thir- teenth class county. The old officers, holding under salary, passed auto- matically into the class that they would have taken if the county was oi higher class at the time of their election and the new classification cannot effect them during their term of office. The state constitution pro- that their salaries cannot be increased or reduced during their term of office, ,p h inh ip2ioataS fha pnljnU Of the courts on this subject. Some new of fees created by the legislature may take the new classification, but none of the old need fear reduction.

This week w. A. Moody and Mul- ford Winsor, State Land Commission CTS, have been Tn this county looking over the lands with view to selecting suitable lands covering the big grant made to the state by the general government.

It is true that women more frequent ly suffer from kidney trouble than men. It is also true they suffer more intensely. owing to their mere sen- sitivs organism Katherine l.. Nor ton, New Bedford, Mass, says: "I had a terrible pain across my back, with a burning and scalding feeling. took Foley Kidney Pills as advised, with results certain and sure. The pain and burning feeling left me, felt toned up and invigorated. am glad to recommend Foley Kidney Pills" They are tonic in action, quick in re. suits. H. H. Watkins. Druggist.

Work on National Highway.

The big grading outfit of the Aubrey Investment Company passed through Kingman Thursday last on it's way to Topock, where it will commence work on the western end of Mohave county's east and west link of the National Old Trails road. The work will be car ried on under the direction of As sistant State Engineer Parker. Should the money be realized from the sale of road bonds before the completion of this piece of road work will be con- tinued on the road, completing if from d drainage standpoint, as well as car rying the road to connection with the Goldroad wagon road this side of the big wash. From that point to KIngman the road will be graded up to allow the large amount of freight team and automobile traffic to be car ried on without interference. The main road. while the autos can keep the other, so that the big teams may not cut up the roads used for auto travel From Kingman east large part of the work will be done in the way of traighteniug out the crooks and turns and grading down the hill climbs to normal grades. With as- sistance the road to the Big Sandy and other necessary roads will be lmprov- ed, as well as the roads leading over the mountain to Goldroad and other mining camps m that and other dis tricts.

Oh, How \ ItcIled!

What long nerve-racking days of con- stant torture-what sleepleSs nights or terrible ny-itch-itch-itch, con- stant itch, until it seemed that 1 must tear off my very skin-then-
 Instant relief-my skin cooled, soothed and healed!
 The very first drops of DD.D. Pre- scription for Eczema stopped that awful itch instantly: yes, the very moment D.D.D. touched the burning skin the tor ture ceased. A 25c bottle proves it.
 D.D.D. has been known for years as the only absolutely reliable eczema remedy. for it washes away the disease germs and leaves the skin as clear and healthy as that of a child.

Property Equalization

An estimate of the taxable property of Mohave county, as compiled by the MINER, gives total of ll,561, l2O$, in- elusive of raises made by the board at it's recent meeting. The raises amount ed to 3l7 ,OS4. 47$, and these raises will probably stand. The total of the county valuation, not including the raises, but including the railroad lands, is 2,6lO,- O36. lOS, which is greater than the total valuation of all the property of the county in 1911. It is possible that many thousands of acres will be added to the railroad lands in the county, which would bring the total up several thousands of dollars more. As it is the county is making a remarkable showing, which will be added to greatly next year.
 NJ. H. Force is making many i'm provements in the old Nighthawk saloon that will make the building one of the best in the town.

Fall River, Mass, Oct. 19.-Although
trading In the New England cotton goods

does not measure up to the totals record

prices would prevail, manifested will

week at prices now in vogue. Mills are
in a position TO take on additional bust

Innings and specialties also have their
looms busy for the next several weeks
There is a firm market for sateens and

much demand, and prices remain un-
changed.
The cotton yarn situation remains firm,
with prices still holding strong, but buy
ers have not been active. While the raw
cotton markets continued 10 be trouble

all inland items included, we estimate
S212, 100000 as the daily average
amount of Inland checks which would
be received and credited by federal
reserve banks; or an annual total (f1g-
ured on a basis OF 300 business days
year, Of s63, 7JO,OOO,OOO. On the low
basis of 10 cents per 81 600 this would
amount to an annual cost to the fed
eral reserve banks Of S6,315,OOO in act
ual overhead charges. To this should
be added at least 100000 annual ex-
pense for movements Of currency. Even
these enormous charges take no ac-
count of the actual bookkeeping and
clerical costs involved in effecting the
clearance of purely local checks be-
tween members such as that which
now takes place through clearing
houses. In the aggregate, the amount
Of these clearances is very much larger.
but the clearing cost would be much
less. Among all the proposed federal
banks the total would probably not
amount in actual cost for clearing local
checks TO more than S2,OOO,OOO addi-
tional, or 10 total for all clearances
and charges of SS,615,O0O. or All per
cent annually upon the total capital OF
the federal reserve banks II every ma
tional and state bank in the United
States should join the system. The
absorption of so great an amount OF
costs by the federal reserve banks is,
Of course, impossible, and entirely out
of the question. They could not sur
vive It,"
Another problem which is confront
ing this country is the Mexican situa-
ton, and last week Mexico has been
more in the public eye than for some
time past. Just how much effect the
continued unsettlement in Mexico may
have on the investment markets cannot
be stated. but in an indirect way 1t has
added TO other discouragements. The
week has been a most unsatisfactory
one from a stock market viewpoint.
In recognizing the conflicting reports
of trade movements in the various
lines the outlook is not particularly
bright at this time, and while thers
may be revivals of interest in the Sc
curity markets the future is still
clouded. SO far as the stability OF the
important interests of the country are
concerned there seems to he little cause
for alarm, and while depression may
continue it is hardly probable that
the United States will experience any
extreme adversely for some time TO
come; and If the currency bill. in a
satisfactory form. shall be passed. there
is reason 10 hope for considerable
relief.
