ballast of the dirigible life. You hear
a man start his work with a faint tap

drop it with loud thud at another

and his brain are not alive in the thing
that he is doing. Why? A thousand
men are thousand reasons why.

WV, VII Vic IsOau QuCoIiOD,
since l wrote last, | have been
over the county quite q lot and
hear the road question discussed
on every hand, at mills, shops,
stores and homes. l find three
classes of men by hearing the
talk going on. One is a class not
in favor of taxes for roads.
These fellows don't pay on moth
ing but their heads, as they don't
own any property at all and they
don't put up very good argu-
ment against the road question.
There is another class, but not
so many of them, that say we
can't build the roads, and that it
would not be fair, as those living
two or three miles from the roads
that would be made, would not
receive the same benefit as those
that live on the roads. These
fellows are property owners and
they are against advancement in
schools, churches, farming or
roads. They would not spend
one dollar if they could get one
dollar and a half in return for it.
There is another class that more
than doubles the other two class
es. They are most all tax payers
and are for advancement on all
lines. They are for the 25cts
tax on the hundred dollars and
are very anxious to have the
roads built. These men are talk.
ing roads and say that if we
keep on, on the old system of
blowing and digging up the road
late in the fall, as has been the
custom of late years. that trav-
ell will soon be stopped during
winter and spring and they are
not in favor of that kind of work
as it and the taxes here before
spent, have been a failure as all
we'll know is true, that have
travelled any of our county reads
this winter. They are for that
that will stand the much increas-
ed travel and heavy hauling that
go over the roads. often hear
remarks like this from good men
that they will not support men
for Office who are not for the
roads. Let US keep the road ques-
ton hot till the magistrates meet
and show them that majority
of the people are in favor of
building the pixies. We should
not let other counties be ahead
of us in this good work of build
ing roads. We can not make out
with roads that we could fifty
years ago. Lets hear from you
if you are for the roads and if
you are against them, give your
reason for being against them.

Arizona KlckIets.

When Joe Wharton sold out
his saloon here and started for
Santa Fe we told him he was
making muss of it. and so it
has proved. He had scarcely
got into the saloon business there
when the vigilance committee
lynched him.
A number of our subscribers
have expressed a desire that the
Kicker should furnish weather
reports again this coming winter.
Only one out of every thirteen of
the predictions of last winter
were verified, but if our readers
are satisfied we are, and will
take up the old thing again as
we know how.
They are telling of a little cy.
clone over at Grass Valley which
blew the hair off a cinnamon
bear and drew nails from fence
posts. We don't doubt it. The
only safe way for a man to keep
his breath in this country is to
believe all he hears, especially if
it seems improbable.
The Great Arizona Irrigation
and Garden Land company is an
organization composed of two
swindlers and a rascal. The
cash capital is about $40, and the
plant consists of FIVE gallons of
water and half an acre of sandy
soil. If the Eastern suckers
take the hook after this it is not
our fault.

The best known materials-the labor

with double refined sable iron.
The holsters are of the best white oak.
They have an iron plate at top and bot
