Oak Creek Echoes

Thos. Mccullough, assistant to MT. Drake, is assisting Fred Coxen in the Sedona district.
 There was but one case of erysip- elas; the balance of supposed cases proved to be toothache or cold. This is very gratifying indeed.
 Sedona has been made the only toll station between Flagstaff and Camp Verde. The rates have also changed, and now instead of five minute talk for 25 cents it IS three minule talk for 20 cents from Sedona to Flagstaff and an extra 3 cents for every minute above five minutes. At last the Morgan tele- phone trust has gripped Arizona. Ira Owenby, who came near death from an attack of erysipelas, is much improved and will soon be able to return to the Creek. Charles Stemmer, who runs his mothers ranch, paid Flagstaff visit on the 18th. He reports about an average of fifteen inches of snow ou the mountains.
 Joseph Loy was business visitor in Jerome a couple of days last week, returning Friday.
 Joe Farley has just completed an addition of room and two porches to his Sedona residence.
 Frank Adams was taken suddenly i'll Saturday evening and was taken to Los Angeles on No. 3 the same evening by Mrs. Adams. Mrs. CHI. Reinhardt, who accom- pied her daughter, Miss Violet, to , Los Angeles last Saturday is expect
 ed home this evening.

county III cOnIOrIlllty WlIu Iho olii which passed the house at its last session, the taxable valuation of the property within the limits of the proposed new county will amount to $3, 135, 900, and that our present cax rate of $2.S7a can, and will be, decreased during the first year of the county's existence.
 Opponents of county division of ten ask the question: What benefit can be derived from dividing the county? In as few words as possi- ble we once more desire to answer this question:
 1. In the first place it is a self evident fact that, if subdivision of a large area of territory possesses the requisite population and assess able valuations to constitute self governing unit, that subdivision cap be more cheaply administered by itself than in connection with the balance of the territory. If this is not true, what is the use or value of county government at all? It is an easily demonstrated fact and we challenge any responsible opponent of county division to contradict the same; that the proposed new county would have a larger assessable prop erty valuation than that of 20 per cent oi the present counties of the state. Therefore, its financial af- fairs could be more economically ly ad- ministered by government of its own than under present conditions.
 ?. Taxes paid by the west end of the county would be used solely to maintain that end of the county.
 In other words, county division
 would enable us to keep our own
 money at home to be expended by our own people to improve our own
 condition.
 3. County division would result
 in home rule, of which nothing has
 been, or ever will be, dearer to the
 average citizen. No matter how
 wise, how able, or how enlightened
 two communities widely separated
 may be, and especially when they
 are of comparatively equal import
 ance, when one of them is peomit
 ted to sit in judgment upon tn
 other, to control their mutua
 finances, and to act as arbiter of tn
 others destiny, conditions are sur
 to arise which, sooner or later, be ) come unpleasant, irksome and in U tolerable. Such has been the his o tory of the world and such it eve l. will be.
 e 4. Convenience to the people i o the western end of the county i Ie having a county seat close at han Us is by no means the least of count T. divisions many benefits. The It 'e cords of the county would be at a E times readily accessible, and tn "a inconvenience and expense of tri II to Flagstaff every time we wish s- consult them, an item itself of T at inconsiderable amount, will be ol Ill viated.
 e. ,. County division would ill 'o prove the business conditions Id Williams, add to its prestige, il CT crease its population and propert
 values, improve its social cond es tions, and inspire local pride of make the county seat a cleaner al 10 better town in which to live en In conclusion we desire to s; ar that we believe the benefits to mt derived from division of Coconil nd county are inestimable; that u ed time long since arrived when such in division was made practicable, al ew we believe the wisdom of such we act will not only be made mamie h. to the house, but also to the sens Ire of the present legislature.

BOGUS CHECKS ARE
 SCATTERED IN TOWN

Williams has been comparatively immune from the ''phony" check artists, but to make up for immun- | ity in the past. George Ruffner got \ busy last Saturday evening and scattered a number of worthless checks among the business men of the town.
 On Monday morning when the bank opened and the merchants went to deposit their Saturday even- ing receipts, they found to their sorrow that the checks they had so obligingly cashed for Ruffner were forgeries and they were out the amounts so smilingly handed out to him.
 Ruffner, who claims to be nephew of ex-Sheriff George Ruff her; of Yavapai county, came to Williams several months ago and about three months ago was mar ried to Mrs. Alb Wilson. The couple since their marriage had been making their home with Mrs. Mary Kay, the brides mother, at her ranch east of town. Ruffner appeared to be an honest, hard working young man, and as no one suspicioned his honesty, he had no trouble in getting the money on the worthless checks.
 All the checks were made out payable to himself and were signed by Mrs. Mary Kay. So far as known the following amounts were gathered in: Joe Blumberg, $40; Andy Smith, s65; Cabinet saloon, l$4O; Billy Mccoy, $40 and Harry
 Miner, $40.
 It is stated by the officers that Ruffner raked in over 1925 here at least that is the amount known that
 he got, but it is stated on the streets that several more of the worthless checks had been cashed, and the
 business men cashing them were keeping still, prefering to keeE , mum rather than be classed among the easy marks.
 5 The News was informed that a 3 soon as his wife and Mrs. Kay heard of the matter they came t'
 town and offered to assist the off cers in every way possible to effec : the capture of Ruffner. The ladies feel keenly the disgrace he ha 7 placed upon them and wish to SC : him brought back and punished fo
 his high-fnance transactions. l After making the circuit of tn
 business houses in Williams, Ruff
 ner purchased ticket to Flagstat
 and pulled off the same stunt there Il The amount he realized at Flagstat is not known, but it is hardly prot u able Ruffner let any of the eas
 marks escape.
 It was reported Monday ths
 Rutfner was seen at Ashfork, br > which way he went from there '' not known. He is said to hay ; been in trouble before in Yavapa
 county and served two years in tn sr penitentiary, but this may not | .o true.
 T. A description of Ruffner has bee lg telegraphed by the officers to a
 points east, west, north and soutl le and it is probable his ill-gotte " wealth will prove of little good Ill him.

LOCKER ORDINANCE
FROM ATLANTALAW

CORDELE, GA, Feb. 21.-The mayor
and city council took action at an ad-
journed meeting yesterday which they
anticipate will shortly put an end to
Cordeles locker club. An ordinance
was adopted very similar to the Atlanta
locker club law. with the exception
that there is no provision set forth in
it for the collection of a license for the
city
Iii view of the fact that the ordinance
provides that social" or locker clubs
must get a permit as to location from
the council. after furnishing bona fide
list of membership, its manager and
other information, the club now in ex-
istence, which hes not made such show
Ing, is expected to Immediately disband.
1t is not believed by councilmen that
the club could successfully make these
showings, their opinion being that it is
not a legally organized club, having
never paid the state license, according
to good authority

for deciding not to close on this occa-
