Apparently everything has been cut

Republican party leaders for the most
part are of the opinion that a burden
will be placed upon the party if Wat

up a party row by sidetracking the

The arrest was made by Mir. Mickey. accompanied by MT. Hennessey. near Maddox. The COW had been sold by the Indian to G. V.

NelU Potato Probdgdted
 by Mir. P. P. Rencher

An Apache county farmer has successfully originated a very ex- cellent potato. It is becoming the principal potato of Apache county and is so successful here that it bids fair to become one of the leading potatoes of Ameri- ca. It is locally known as the
 'Rencher Surprise. :" It was named for Peter P. Rencher of Edgar. The potato is the largest we have in our local market and is entirely white. While not overly mealy, it is reasonably so, and has an excellent flavor.
 It is interesting to know the method by which MT. Rencher worked. He imported some quite large potatoes that grew nicely on his farm at Edgar but they were dark colored and con- sequently did not look so nice upon the table when they were cooked. One day MT. Rencher noticed that some of the potatoes had white eyes At the time for spring planting he cut out all of the white eyes and planted them by themselves. Next season most of the potatoes had more white eyes. He again selected and planted white eyes and kept repeating this until no blue eyes nor blue meat ever appeared in the potatoes any more. He also selected the larger and better potatoes for seed, and by arti- ficial selection has got the other good qualities, until the "Rencher Surprise" potato is a great faYo- rite in Apache county and is be- ing introduced into other counties of northern Arizona.

DiscoUery of Grand Canyon

The first white men to see the Grand Canyon of the Colorado were Cardenas and his 12 com panions, who were guided there by the Hopi Indians from Tu- sayan. Cardenas was sent by Coronado to find the wonderful river of which De Tovar had heard from the Indians. He re- mained four days on the rim at some point now unknown, look ing in vain for a way to decend. It is always interesting to recall the heroic trip made by Maj. J. w. Powell down the Grand Can yon in small boats when prac- tically nothing was known of its course or character. His journey began at Green River, Wyo., May "A, 1869, and was notably successful. GU. s.

Republican Candidate for
 Justice of the Peace

In another column there ap- pears for the first time the an- nouncement of w. B. Woods as candidate for justice of the peace in Holbrook precinct. MT. Woods is emlnently qualified for the office he seeks. He is a man of fair and open mind; he has the judicial temperament and is impartial and unprejudiced in his conclusions.
 By experience MT. Woods is well fitted for the office of justice of the peace. For sixteen years he served as clerk of the court in Navajo county, part of this time as clerk of the district court under territorial form of govern ment, and for one term as clerk of the superior court, to which office he was elected.
 MT. Woods did not seek the office of justice of the peace in the primaries, but he was never theless nominated by republican friends and he now feels that it IS incumbent upon him to make the race. If elected he promises to conduct the office in fair and impartial manner. deciding every case that may come before him according to the law and the evidence.

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OPEN Democrats Started Campaign by q Big Rally Tuesday, Night, and Republicans FollorDed Suit Wednesday, Night.

Last Tuesday was a big day for the democrats in Navajo county. The occasion was the visit to the county by most o1 the prominent leaders of the party in the state.
 Senator Henry F. Ashurst and Congressman Carl Hayden were here. Of the state officials also here were Governor G. w. P. Hunt, Attorney General Wiley B. Jones. Chas. k. Howe, tax commissioner. Jesse L. Boyce, candidate for auditor of state, and G. H. Bolin, mine inspector.
 Arrangements had been pre- viously made for holding rallies in Holbrook and in Snowflake. Senator Ashurst and Attorney General Jones went to Snowflake in the afternoon and that night addressed a large crowd of peo- pie upon the main issues in the national and state campaigns.
 In Holbrook the Pastime the ater had been secured for the evening and at that place there assembled a large number of peo- pie of all political faiths to listen to the men advertised to speak.
 At this meeting Judge D. J. Thomas acted as chairman and the felIcitous manner in which he performed the duties of that position was the occasion for much favorable comment.
 Governor Hunt was the first speaker introduced, and for near ly an hour held the close atten- tion of his listeners. He gave a resume of state business and a history of the state institutions during the years he has held the office of chief executive.
 Chas. R. Howe, candidate for reelection to the office of tax commissioner. was the second man called upon for a speech. His talk was filled with statistics, and proved that the office of tax commissioner is an important one.
 Congressman Carl Hayden was the third speaker of the enening and his speech was an excellent one. He discussed national issues only and his re- marks were brief and to the point. Congressman Hayden possesses many of the clements of eloQuence; he knows what he wishes to say and how to say it; and he knows when to quit. The congressman is very popular in this county and will receive a big majority at the November election.
 After Congressman Hayden's speech, MT. Bolin and MT. BoYce each made short talks, that of the latter being in a humorous vien, and it was well received by the audience.
 The evening closed with a dance in which Judge Thomas, chairman of the political meet ing, covered himself with as much glory as he had during the earlier part of the evening.
