Mohave County miner., 1913-09-13

Jack Brobant arrived from San Jose | few days ago. Jack has been quite ill the past several months and it was thought best to take him to Kingman where the pure air may have a tonic effect. Mrs. Fellows will visit a few
 weeks with her sister and brothers, Mrs. J. E. Perry and George and Tom Brobant.
 Yesterday the board of supervisors met and considered the petition of the people of this end of the county for a Union high school. After visiting the lists of petitioners the board conclud- ed to call an election for the establish ment of high school for the 10th day of October. 1913. The people of King man want high school and the par ents in other parts of the coun ty would be pleased to have place close to home where their children may be taught the high school branches.
 Judge Carl G. Krook and Dr.. John R. Whiteside went down to Needles Thursday evening and conferred with the business men of that city. They also looked at some of the road work that is being done between Needles and the bridge. This work will soon be complete. Mir. Christie and Mr. Oliver, superintendent and engineer of the Santa Fe at Needles, have been over the road to see if a good place to get into the west end of the bridge was possible and to agree with the engineer of the road work on the completion of that end of the line. This would indi- cate that the railroad company is pre- pared to care for automobile tourists that may cross the bride without de- lay. Krook and Whitesde also found the people of Needles heartily h ac cord with the people of Northern Ari- zona on the boosting of the road through California.
 The board of supervisors is awaiting remedeling of the co~rt house plans by c. E. Walker, and when they arrive bids for the construction of the build ing will be asked for. It appears too bad to us that handsomely appointed interior should be so remodeled that it would cut out all that goes to give building of this character an inviting appearance, and it is to be hoped that the board will eventually see it in that light. Mohave county deserves splendid building, now that we are to have one and the people should ex- press themselves on the subject. While building finished in marble would cost considerable more than a plainly pIastered interior people who are fur nishing the dough would feel that they were getting run for their money in the more inviting appearance that marble would give it.
 The boys and ladies of Oatman did things to Billy Ridenour and bride when they showed up in that big gold camp this week. The head of the family was taken out and tied to post and all sorts of things were said to him while in this helpless condition When he had bought all the joy water that he thought the camp posses ,ed the unfeeling wretches brought in more. And while this was going on the ladies of the camp took possession of Mrs. Ridenour and bought up all the ice cream and cake in the camp at the expense of the groom and then brought out the band and serenaded the couple. The windup of the affair was one of the most enjoyable dances that the camp had ever had. Mr. and Mrs. Ridenour will remem Der through their whole life their first night in Oatman.
