Grant county needs sound business men to administer the
business of the county. That is always good philosophy as
well as good business. No one disputes it. But will Grant
county voters elect experienced, successful business men and
taxpayers to carry on their county affairs? They have the
opportunity. Bartlett, Buchanan and Robson are all tax
payers Mr.; Robson being one of the heaviest taxpayers in the
county. They know Grant county's needs like a book from
long residence in the county and famiiarizing themselves with
county affairs.
Good roads will be one of their considerations. They
realize fully the value of good roads to Grant county and they
will PLAY NO FAVORITES IN THE GAME. The little
camps and settlements are entitled to just as much considera-
ton proportionately speaking as the other larger settlements
These are fair-minded men, and they will see to it that little
as well as the large communities shall be treated fairly in this
matter of bodybuilding.
Then there is the matter of giving out the county business
and looking after the county bills to see that they are not
over-eharged. A glance over the commissioners proceedings
at any time during the last few years has caused many a tax
payer to scratch his head and wonder what he is getting for
of this immense outlay of money, amounting to thousands and
thousands of dollars annually. 1t cost Grant county as much
to run her county government last year as it did the county oil
Chavez, much more thckly populated and almost as large.
These are questions of vital interest to every taxpayer
The county government requires men who will bring to the per-
Torrance of their duties, experienced business minds, and an
unrelentng vigilance that knows neither friend nor foe.
You have these men in the persons of L. H. Bartlett
of Santa Rita; M. R. Buchanan, of Silver City, and John Robson
of Lordsburg. $4na&WS

Mormon Battalion Of 1s4s.

One OF the interesting events which
occurred in Iowa during the Mexican
war was the raising OF the Mormon
battalion" an account Of which Is to
be found in one OF the publications Of
the State Historical Society of Iowa.
Upon the outbreak Of hostilities Cen
eral Kearny despatched James Allen,
an officer well known in Iowa, to en-
list recruits among the Mormons who
were then scattered along the trail
across Iowa after having been expell-
ed from Illinois. It was just after the
Mormons had planted their settlement
at Mt PisgaR that Captain Allen ar
rived, issued his Circular to the Nor.
mons" and, accompanied by Brigham
Young, proceeded to their camp on the
Missouri river. There he opened a re-
cruiting Office, secured five companies
of one hundred men each, gave the
Mormon refugees fete or ball, which
is said to have been fine affair, and
then conducted the volunteers to the
rendezvous at Fort Leavenworth. An
ex-elder of the Mormon church later
declared that these five hundred men
were practically compelled to enlist
by their leader, Brigham Young.

kept some, who were to have come

This was the one disappointment OF
the day. The day had been planned
as Q means of showing the apprecia-

friendly and substantial interest

desire. Argyle cooks are well known
for their splendid picnic dinners and
