Nav Solve Weevil Problem

A remarkable report comes
from Lincoln County, and one
that may lead to the discovery OF
q means of getting rid Of the
pestiferous boil weevil. Two
cotton fields have been discover
ed, located in the very midst Of
Of the boil weevil-ridden section,
on which not q weevil is to be
found, and where the crop is as
promising of fruit as was evel
known before the advent OF thu
bugs in that section.
One Of these patches of cottol
belongs to William Maxwell
comprising four acres; the othe'
| is a twenty acre field, adjoining
which belongs to Sam West
The history of both pieces Q
cotton is that last year the
were planted to oats in tn
spring, and after their remova
to corn and peas. 1t may b
that weevils cannot stand Ian
On which oats, peas and cor
have been planted the previou

Annreciation Of Our

Appreciation Of Our q
Court Officials. q
Editor ra-Leader: 9
II YOU will allow space in your
p.per, I wish to say a few words
in reference to the good worb
done in our court last week by
our worthy Judge and able Dis
trict Attorney.
I have heard it said that the
officers could do nothing towards
furnishing the guilty and putt'ns
down lswlessness without the
cooperation Of the citizens. That
il true to q certain extent oo'
vhy is II that we had ten con-
v;ctions out Of twelve jury cases
here last week when it is usually
70 the reverses l must say that
Il is largely due to the good
work done by our Judge ana
District Attorney; the Judge, IN
selecting for Jury Commission
ers men who want to see crime
wiped out, and the District At
torney, not only by his able pros
ecution but ID standing out tor
the right and not being Influenced
by those who are in sympathy
With the law breakers. Now
. not forgetting our worthy deputy
sheriff, who has been careful IN
selecting talsmen, nurpose'y
overlooking those who might oe
IL vait for the Job. l regret 1
say, but true it is, that for th'
last few years human lie na'
been too cheap in this country
and l believe it has been causes
by 50 many guilty parties benz
freed By the court.
The scene has changed, and
will not be long until people fror
other parts will not fear an
danger in coming among u.s. a
B Ia been the case heretofore
ur Judge and District Atto'
ney, whom ! know probably q

ara true men who want to "

BY the court should be war

400 000 an increase of more than
$40 600 600 or 40 per cent, above the
production for 1911. OF this total
value, the copper output represented
over $5S,OOO,OO0. gold $3,5OO.OOO. anG
silver s2,00O.OOO
The production Of gold increased
cnly about 3 per cent, giving an out
put Of over 10000 ounces. The two
main sources were copper ore and ores
amalgamatcd or cyanided. Precious
metal bullion came principally from
MohaVe County. where great increases
were made IN output by the operators

an increase of II per cent over the

Village May Ask 81. Railway to
Pay for Summer Cleaning

Al the regular monthly meeting of
the Red Jacket council last evening,
the board took up the question as to
whether or not the village could col
lect from the Houghton County Trac-
tion company for keeping the COM
panys : portions of the streets, in which
summers since the streets had been
its tracks are laid clean during the
paved. The question was referred 10
Village Attorney John Curtis, who
will look into the matter anr report
at the next regular meeting.
The contracts with the Houghton
County Electric Light company for the
use OF the villages conduits and cleo
trio light poles were read, and after
ward signed by the president and viii
lage clerk These contracts will be
mailed to the officers of the company
immediately for ratification. They call
for a payment Of $S42.75 per year, 10
be paid in quarterly installments.
The question Of repairing water
meters was brought up and discussed.
II was pointed ont that wherever il
was round meters had been put out Of
commission through the entrance Of
sand or other sources over which
the consumers had no control, the
CONSUMERS should not be called upon
To foot the bills But if meters were
allowed To get out of commission
which the consumer was directly re-
sponsible, then, if the village was
called upon 10 do the work. the neces-
sarN charges ought To be made. This
matter will again come up for consid-
Grafton, as also will the matter of eX-
ira charges made the village by the
e. X H. Mining Co. for its supply of
lake water for six months because of
stones interfering with the meter. y
test run is now being made by the
from Dec. lG To Jan. lG. and
when HE bill for water for this period
mas been received, II is expected the
question will be definitely ana annie
ably settled.
