There are many things to consider be
for we chose our next representative e
the state legislature. The salary aues
tion is only one Of the many.
III Republicans are chosen from thi.
county they should be instructed to find
out what the people Of this county are
in need of or desire and then do Their
best to get il.
The people are complaining about the
burden Of taxation, but they pay little
attention TO the quality of the men who
are elected TO say how the tax.money
shall be expended.
The county officers are entitled 10 a
fair compensation for their work. On
the other hand, the people should not
and must not be called upon to pay big.
ger salaries than the circumstances war
rant.
Many Republicans in Quay COUNTY
have said amen to Governor Mcdonald
when he vetoed the salary bill and it
is right. Some have reported that Gov.
Mcdonald was- offered $4,000 to sign
the bill as passed three or four time
and vetoed as many, but he did not
take the money MOI did he even turn
the bribers' in so they could have been
punished accordingly.
Where the line shall be drawn be.
tween over-economy and extravaganza
is likely to be one Of the features of
the campaign next fall. Neither ex.
treme should be permitted.
The Democrats as a rule are for good
sane economy but sometime they 10

be allowed according to the receipts,

ford.
The county officers in this county are
most all Democrats and while they nat.
urely would not object 10 the salary bill
supported by the Republicans and We.
toed by the governor, so long as they
held office, they do not desire to have
an excessive salary bill voted on our
county and the citizens should find out
what the men will attempt to do before
they are chosen to represent Quay coun.
ty in the next state legislature.
Tho Ndws columns are open 10 the
Democrats as well as Republicans and
any other party to express their views
IN reference to wha. they intend to
stand for when elected.

FLOOD AT NEEDLES

Needles, Calf. People and es- pecially the Santa Fe officials are breathing easier this morning as the result of drop of few inches in the height Of the raging Cobra do, But the old timers say the worst is yet to come. For with the highest flood at this early date in the summer ever known there is but little question that great dam age will be done. The water IS now up to the ties on the big Santa Fe iron bridge. The riff raff that has been put in to protect the track has proven insufficient and great damage is likely to happen to the track.
 With the rapid melting of the snow at the head waters of the Colorado river, the flood will prob- ably grow more dangerous.

BASE BALL DOPE

ClarkdaIe -VS- Williams
 The ball game Sunday was a poor exhibition of the national game, yet it is as good as could be expected from the Williams boys for the practice they have had. There was some good individual playing, but individual players do not make up team any more than one coach makes up a train In order to have a winning team SUD- ported by the town there must be practice and a whole lot of it.. The people will not support a team that will not practice and a team that does not practice cam ot win.

 Last week the regular base ball team at their own request matched game with us for Friday after noon at 3:3O. We set about to get our players together and after spending considerable time and going to some expense went to the ball diamond at the appointed hour ready for the fray andto give the team some much needed prac. tice. But none of them put in their appearance, and they gave no reasonable or valid excuse. We desire thru the columns of your paper at this time to issue them a challenge to play any time or place they may name for the purpose of seeing which of the two teams shall be known as the first team.

 In sounding people we find that different reasons are given. One fellow who never goes into a saloon and never drinks unless someone buys it for him, says, ''Me for the wets." Why l asked? "Because they never bo other me I never go there." Then he springs that old gag, lam my brothers keeper?"
 Here is another. He wants to to quit but the temptation is conint- ually before him He says he will vote dry. Whyf For his own protection. Which is the best man? The man who wants to gu t or the man who votes wet because he does not drink?

Robbie says ''It takes Bacon to get the votes." There is an inn plication in this that has a deep and hidden meaning so that he who runs may read --- but there is go- ing to be another election this fall, one of greater import and one of greater vital human interest. I. refer to the vote on the "wet and dry" question. This question will be discussed in the Forum and as there are always two sides, it will get hot and hotter as election time approaches. It's funny, isn't it, the different arguments that are brought forth?
 For instance the ''wets say the town will go to the bow-wows if you vote dry. They ask the dear peo. pie to vote for them ungrudging. ly, right or wrong, not that there are matters of greater delicacy o1 nearer consequence, because there isn't but because they ask it flor their own good and the prosperity

 Sunday he occupied the pulpit in the M. E. church and preached a sermon full of vigor and inspiration. The Grand Canyon night train ran over two COWS between Williams and Anita killing both of them.
