Many CnlOrlue people nave come over to attend the hearing of s. D. Myers, who is before the court today Myers was brought in from Chloride over week ago Cn complaint of many people that he was making threats against the lives of those that had in. cured his displeasure. Myers has been bromide dope fend the past sixteen years, according to his own statement and has used hundreds of pounds of the potassium compound. This and booze has been his undoing and he went out on the warpath with 3O- 30 rifle on his shoulder and an automatic six shooter in his pocket ready to depopulate the world when Deputy Sheriff J. c. Lane took him into custody. He had been keeper at the Towne mine. owned by the Barry estate. but had been discharged week or two ago. The new keeper of the place found the walls of the building badly shot up with shotgun, rifle and revolver. Those in close touch with the man state that he is now and has for many years been mentally lacking and that recently he had seen and talked with the spirit of the late John Barry, and it was prob ably shooting at some of the spirits that came to him that caused the many holes in the walls of tho rooms at the mine. Judge Perkins, of Flag staff, will hear the case today and the physicians will past on the sanity of the poor fellow.

Total assessment $l4, ,006, ,335 ?
 An estimate carried out in the budget shows that the county will have to raise about l40.O00S for county pur. poses, and possibly 7O,O00$ for state purposes, which will make the levy about l.5OS on the lOO$ of valuation. Last year the levy was 3$ on the lO0S in the county and 3 l0S in Kinglnan, While some of the valuations have been boosted to some extent in the town the low rate will not increase the amount to be paid by the property owner to any appreclable extent.
 Taken altogether the roll shows a healthy condition.

Mohave County's Wealth

The clerk of the board of supervisors of Mohave county this week prepared an abstract of the tax roll for the use of the Tax Commission, and from it we glean the fact that this county is getting up among the big counties of the state in the matter of taxable wealth. Last year the total tax of the county was 5.200, ,000$. showing an in. crease of more than S,OO0,00OS in tax. able values during the year. This year the railroad tax values alone exceed the total taxable property of the county by more than one million dollars. An other pleasing feature is the returns from the producing mines, which show conclusively that Mohave county is fast getting up among the big producers of the state. The following is the list ment:

TO PAY
TRAINMEN MORE
Railroads Refuse to GRAM
Mems Demands.
WANT 10 RAISE ALL RATES
Managers Of Eastern Lines Declare
Demands of Conductors and Others
Would Cost $17,OOo,ooo a Year.

simultaneously the railroads of the
east refused TO grant the demands OF
their conductors and trainmen for an
Increase in pay and announced that
they would ask the interstate com.
merce commission to permit an in
crease of ) per cent on all freight
rates.
The refusal to grant higher wages
to the conductors and trainmen. the
demands OF the enginemen and firemen
having been settled by arbitration,
was made public by the conference
committee of the managers of the
eastern roads in New York.
The committee says the present
rates of wages are liberal. and in
many cases excessive and that the re-
quest for an increase is declined in
the interests OF owners of railroad Sc
curides, in the interests Of all rail
road employes-in the interests of the
public as a whole"
The wages and working conditions
which you request" says the reply,
would increase the pay of the 100000
conductors and trainmen of the rail
roads in the eastern district by ap-
proximately S17OO0.000, or 20 per cent
per annum.
The Increase would be equivalent
to placing on these properties a lien
of $425, 100000 of 4 per cent securi-
ties which would have a preference
over first mortgage bonds.
IN no
extravagant wages to men in train
service, the burden must fall on the
public. You will readily see, there
fore, why, in considering your de-
mands, we hold the public interest
paramount.
Already the traffic of a growing
country has overtaxed the existing ia
cilities; and the heavy burdens in
Cured through ill-advised legislation,
such an extra crew bills-fOr which
the Brotherhood of Rrailroad Train
men is alone respOnsible-have forced
on the railroads, and consequently on
the public, needless expenditures of
millions of dollars annually. All of
these factors are making it impossible |
for many OF the roads to provide those |
facilities which prudent foresight de-
mands. and which the interests of the !
public require.
IN making demands for extrava-
giant wages-wages entirely out of ac-
cord with the railroads obligations as
a whole-railway employees apparently
act on the assumption that a strike
that would tie up traffic would never
be permitted by the public. They seem
to think that if a strike is to be avoid
ed the railroads must give way-that
the public will force them to give
way, believing that arbitration must
take place, and that in the end the
splitting Of differences between what
they demand and the wages they re
ceive will result in their favor
in other words, the employees have
everything to gain and nothing to
Iose."
