Mohave County miner., 1914-07-18

It will be noted that in this weeks issue of the MINER Fred F. Brawn announces himself as a candidate for the office of Sheriff of this county, sub ject to the republican voters at the September primaries.

Honest, energetic, capable and painstaking he could fill any office in the gift of the people with credit.

 County Attorney c. w. Herndon re- turned from weeks visit to Prescott. There is much improving going on in that mountain city. He also reports that many of the people of Prescott are opposing the issuing of bonds for a new courthouse. It is remarkable that people having interest in Prescott could stand in the way of this much needed improvement. The old court house is an eyesore and disgrace to the Mother County of the State. Not one dissenting vote should be placed in the ballot box in Prescott when the election day arrives.
 The road graders are working on the road just north of the Mcguire ranch, where the old road is being widened and guarded against flood waters, drainage being supplied along the hill side all the way. East of town a splendid grade is being built through the canyon and within the next ten days will be completed to the Walla- pal valley. When in commission this will be one of the best used roads in the state. The big grader is to be put on and the road from south of Berry to short distance west of An tarez will be crowned up. Near An tarez the work of filling the depres- sions and cutting off the tops of the little hills will be under way within the next twenty days. This is a regular washboard but it will require only a small amount of work to make it one of the best sections of road in the state. The road to the Sandy will soon be under construction, it being intend ed to let it in short sections to local | b;IdarC
