Combination Against Wilson

Governor Ferris of Michigan announced last week that he was in possession of information, showing that there is a plot brew ing to prevent the Democrat c National Convention next year, from nominating Wilson for re- election. There is no doubt that a movement is being led by w. R. Hearst the owner of the New York Journal and other papers to nominate Speaker Clark instead of President Wilson. MT. Hearst is anxious to be known as king maker so to speak, the same as Mark Hanna was few years ago, who nominated and Elected Nc Kinley. Of course "a king-maker is also the King-Owner and that is what Mir. Hearst wants to be, as he thinks he can ''bend the back" of Speaker Clark and con- trol him, but knows he cannot bend the ''iron will" of Woodrow Wilson.

Pressing The Ship Bill

The Bill now being discussed in the Senate for issuing thirty million dollars in Government Bonds with which to buy and build ships with which to carry on our commerce, is being heart fly approved by the people of the country. The American people have realized since the war began what a shame it is, that the great est commercial and industrial nation in the World has no Mer- chant Marine with which to carry our commerce over the seas.
 Europe wants our Lumber, cotton grain and other farm products, but we have no ships with which to get our goods over there. The ship, bill will supply this great need, and it is believed the bill will become law in the near fu- ture, although several senators are trying to talk it to death, as they fear that if the U. s. Gov ernment will own ships, that very soon it would own railroads too, and run them in the interest of the American people instead of the stockholders, just as the Post Office and Parcels Post are run in the Interest of the people.

In Montana the heavy snow has made the wolves and coyotes extremely troublesome. They are killing deer, moose and do- mestic animals in large numbers. The deer and moose are driven onto the lakes which are frozen over and the slippery ice surface makes them an easy prey to the wolves. What about Northern Arizona? Are the wolves and coyotes becoming destructive here? We would be pleased to hear from the ranchers. A large part of the stock is below the rim now, but not all of it and probably many deer remain on the plateau.

Will See America First

The Santa Fe is experiencing the heaviest California tourist traffic in it's history, at present. every west bound train has one or more extras. The passengers are chiefly wealthy people. They are largely the class that formerly went to Europe. Here is another good that the European war is bring ing. Once these tourists have seen America, they will find that there is much more to be seen in America, than there is in Europe. Never again will Europe enjoy so much of a monopoly of this class of tourist traffic.

Coconino Winters

What are Coconino County winters like as rule? This is a question which people new to the country are continually asking and it is remarkable what widely differing answers one receives from the various old residents. One asserts that very often win ter will pass here without more than two or three inches of snow on the grou nd at any one time during the entire season, and that occasionally there will be scarcely enough to cover the ground any time during the en- tire winter. Another will insist that winters such as the present are the rule rather than the ex- ception and that frequently we have even more snow than we have had this winter. From others will come the thousand and one other variations shading be- tween these two, with no two of them all in exact agreement.
 This is a good illustration of the inaccuracy of individual ob- servation where accurate and full notes are not kept. After all, the human memory is far from a sat isfactory record If one would know what Coconino winters are like as a rule, he would best con- suit the records of the weather bureau.

COCONINO COUNTY ABLY
 REPRESENTED

Again we must remark that Coconino is very ably represented in the state legislature this year. Campbell and Marian are making themselves felt and Coconino is getting a fair deal. But that is not all that these men are doing. They are proving that they are of a caliber to fill yet larger offices in the state. Their fellow legis- lators are convinced that both of these men will be heard of again later. MT. Campbell is already being suggested by some men not from Coconino county, for the office of governor, two years from now.
 If one looks over the list of officers this state has had he must be impressed by the large per centage that have come from our county. Knowing the two men we have in the legislature as we do, it would come as no surprise to hear of either of them being proposed for a higher office.

Would Be a Big Boost for
 Coconino County

The new "Stock-raising Home stead Law" which was recently passed by the House will prove a great boost to Coconino County if passed by the Senate in turn. This proposed law would make it possible for homesteader to apply for a tract not to exceed six hundred and forty acres in one place to use for stock raising purposes. The land must be so located as not to include any merchantable timber, and not to be subject to irrigation. It may, however, include land fitted for the raising of forage crops.
 There are thousands of acres in Coconino county as we'll as in other counties of this state which might be made to produce much more wealth than at present by means of this new law. Six hundred and forty acres of most of the better part of our grazing land would be sufficient to SUD- port a family. This would have the effect of increasing both our. population ond aur wealth. This land put under fence and intelli- gently grazed, would be sure to support a great deal more stock than it does at present.
 Our representative, MT. Hay den. had a good deal to do with the passing of this bill in the House and now it is to be hoped that our senators will do equally as we'll in the senate. It will mean much for the county if put into effect.

We note with pleasure that the attendance at the night school is still large. This means that the influence of the school for the betterment of the community is also to be large. It was com mendable of the teachers to start the school but making it a per manent success is worthy of yet greater commendation.

The people of the United States have many grave problems be- fore them to be met in the years to come, and there are a great many things about our countr y at present that are not to the very best interest of the people,
 but to compare our nation with the warning nations of Europe is to be continually congratulating ourselves upon our good fortune in being born American citizens.

KEEPING TAB ON THE IRISH
(Concluded)

We had luncheon at the base of the mountain, sfter which we climbed up to ''The hole in the rock" The hole in the rock is a large opening in rock which ap- parently has been caused by water wearing through the rock. One can stand in this openin6 and ob- tain g panorama view of the desert, looking towards St. Johns river. The desert is a picturesque sight, viewed from this point. As far as one can see there is to be seen the mesquite trees, the chollfx, which is called (greasewood) also called creosote, (Bisuaga) then there is the saguaro (sahuara) that is the giant cactus; also, ocatello the tall long cactus which has the long arms. The bisnaga specie is the feathery. We returned to Phoenix driving along the Arizona Canal, which Is tributary to the Roose- welt dam, through Ingleside, which is a club house, surrounded by orange and grape fruit groves. Af- ter getting into Phoenix we are called on by MT. and Mrs. Albert Iebsch and MT. and Mrs. Jud Rounseville,

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION

The following call for a county
good roads convention has been issued
by the good roads committee of the
Okanogsn Commercial Club. 1t is ex-
peeted that there will be a large at
tendance at the meeting from all parts
OF the valley. Oroyille will send d
large delegation. because this section
has been so long neglected. and furth-
eTmore the people heretofore have SET
up no demand for recognition in the
distribution of road money:
A general sentiment seems TO pre-
vail among those active in the good
roads movement that a county con-
yention should be held AMI a general
invitation be extended to everybody
interested in the matter of better
roads. The idea is that ali organiza-
items and Oranges may send delegates
III they so choose or individuals may
came on their own account and all will
be accorded a seat and voice in the
meeting.
For the purpose of carrying out
this idea the Roads Committee of the
Ckanogan Commercial Club, with a
view OF getting the matter started has
called such e convention to be held at
.okanogan commencing at 10 a. m,
Tuesday. March 30.
Everybody is invited from all parts
l.. the county.
Here will be fine opportunity for
.ail quarters to get in touch with each
other on road matters; here will be an
opportunity to effect the final organi-
cation OF county better roads as
ISOLATION; here will be an opportunity
10 discuss the matter OF the levy and
distribution of county road funds, and
likewise an opportunity to consider
what may be thought to be the best
places to recommend for the expendi-
.tGre Of the state money"

In recent issue of the Wateryille
Press the statement was made that
Frank NJ. Dallam, jr.,-at that time
acting as secretary of the senate, with
so much work on his hands that it
was impossible to engage in any side
issue, even had he so desired-was
connected with a press bureau at
Olympia that was sending out letters
to the newspapers of the state deroga-
tory to Gov. Lister. This statement
CT the Press was mistake The fact
is, owing to the sublime Ignorance OF
the editor of that sheet Of past history
and current events, 80 per cent Of the
statements appearing in the editorial
columns Of the Press are glazing mis-
takes. In this particular case, how
ever, the charge made against Mr.. Dali
lam was a premeditated, willful and
inexcusable mistake. Most readers,
acquainted with the facts, would brand
the statement as dirty lie but know
ing the proneness of the Press to fall
into error We put it down as simply
mistake.

We must stand by him (the presi-
dent TO the end. In this determine
ton We may be sure that all will join,
no matter what their previous views.
no matter what their European origin
All will forget their differences in
self-sacrificing loyalty to our common
country" Is that the language OF an
ardent democrat pleading for loyalty
to the president? Oh. no; they are the
words of Vim. H. Taft, whom demo-
Gratis so delighted in abusing only a
short time ago, in statement brought
cut by the attitude of the president in
regard to the European situation.
These words have the ring of SINGER
ity as we'll as patriotism. They show
the broad minded, liberal-spirited
gentleman, who nurses no crouch,
who is above the pettiness OF the poll
tician. 1t is the declaration Of a loyal
American citizen, who is for his coun-
try first, last and all the time.

Among the various democrats in
eastern Washington who have been
named in connection with the Office OF
collector of customs for the Puget
Sound district, is that of Judge c. H.
Neal, of Oroville. This plum is worth
plucking, as it carries a salary of &c.
900 year. Owing to long years OF
training with the opposition politi-
cal organization the editor of this pa
per can have NO voice in making the
selections for federal Offices to be fill
ed, but in his position as political en-
envy he wishes to say that if the demo-
cratic party is looking for a worthy,
a capable, an upright gentleman to fill
the collectorship it is not necessary
10 go any further in the search. Judge
Neal would fill that Office with credit
10 himself and with honor to the party
OF which he is a member He has
been a life long democrat, never way
ering in his allegiance, and at the
same time his record has been clean
and honorable in public Office and in
private life. Those who know the
judge trust that the honor may fall to
him.

1t has just recently come TO light
that a German cruiser sunk an Ameri-
can merchant ship in the Pacific ocean
some time in January. The vessel
sailed from Seattle, loaded with Wash
ington wheat The German cruiser,
proving about the Pacific and playing
havoc with English shipping, captured
the American vessel and sunk it on the
grounds that wheat is contraband OF
war. The action sayors very much OF
piracy. Probably all that will grow
out of the incident will be an exchange
OF notes, at which pastime this govern
ment seems TO be very expert. How
ever, the case goes to show how deli
cate the situation is. If war is pro-
tracted the United States may have to
submit to many such insults TO the
flag from the contending nations. or

The state legislature adjourned last
week after having filled out the full
SO days as provided by law. There is
no close season for Legislators, and
they are game that the press never
fails to take pot shots at. No legisla-
tive session has ever been held in this
state that did not get the gait in the
way OF unfayorable criticism, and the
one Just gone out OF existence was no
exception TO the rule. Politics warp
the view point Of those who comment
upon legislative proceedings, and gen.
orally partisanship is responsible for
the danning handed out by the press.
Take it all around, however, and the
late legislature made a successful eff
fort toward economy, and fewer freak
bills were introduced and passed than
during any former session.
