WAS A RED-HOT CONTEST
FOR MOHAVE'S SHERIFF

]. N. Cohenour, Republican candi-
date for the office of sheriff, will be
Mohave county's next chief guardian
of the law. The inspection of ballots
for that office, made in connection
with an action instituted by ]. W..
Prisk, the democratic candidate, which
has been in progress in the superior
court for the last week or more, was
concluded last evening and the figures
compiled gave !Cohenour 1888 votes
and his democratic opponent 1872
votes.
During the course Of the inspection
about 40 ballots were laid aside for
rulings by the court, which were about
equally divided between the two can
didates. Prior to the, rulings Of the
court the number of votes polled by
the two candidates, as shown by the
ballots over which no disputes arose,
stood the same as afterwards, the de-
cisions by Judge Ellis having really
no effect upon the result. 1t is learned
upon good authority that Prisk will
accept as final the result disclosed by
the inspection and will not take an
appeal.-Kingman Daily Miner.

THE DEAD ASTRONOMER
(In memory Of Percival Lowell, late
Head of the Lowell Observatory
at Flagstaff, Arizona.)

Across the gentle night stars bud and
bloom,
Tolling the ebb and flow of cycling
time;
Spun out from the Creators mighty
loom,
They sing for evermore the Ancient
Rhyme. SIS ...
Purple and gold and bluish-white they
CLEAN,
Above these crags and canyons, thun-
der-sown,
The garden-paths of Pollux lie a.
dream,
While Death-the Sentinel--keeps
watch, alone.
Lo! he is gone-the Searcher of the
Skies!
No more the mountain breezes stir his
hair, a.s e..
The while he marks, with genius-fiam-
ing eyes,
The hills on Mars, or some young
comets lair. a
Great curving streams of suns and
wreaths of stars
That swung before him in that fiery
sea,
Now play his funeral march on view
less bars
Aerial Oceans proudest pageantry!
Yea, he is gone! yet somewhere, with
the Sun
Tint scatters far the laggard mists of
morn,
His spirit scars, like Rigel-Silver
One,
Whose colors oft blue eastern Night
adorn.
Not by less trappers' trails, nor on the
sea,
Nor in the woods when Evenings
lamp burns dim.
Shall he be met, but mid the galaxy
OF Suns and Moons and. Stars, look we
for him!

Nasis Tanner Killed in Auto Accident
Saturday morning about 10 o'clock
Nasis Tanner, accompanied by Fermin
Candelaria and his little son, left St.
Johns in Mr.. Tanners 8-cylinder Cad
lilac car for Springerville. Upon
reaching the corner south Of Stansell
Greer's home, about two miles from
town, the car was going too fast to
make the sharp turn. Seeing he was
about to run off the embankment
straight ahead, Mr.. Tanner twisted the
steering wheel sharply to the left and
the big car turned over into the ditch.
Mr.. Tanner was killed instantly, his
neck and left jaw being broken, while
Mr.. Candelaria and his little boy
escaped without a scratch. 1t is said
the car was going at the rate Of about
thirty miles an hour.-St. Jonhs OBJ

GOVERNMENT EXPERTS ARE
IMPROVING POTATOES

The department is conducting a
number of potato Investigations,
chiefly at Presque Isle, Me-; Greeley,
Colo; Jerome, Idaho; and Norfolk,
Va. One of the main features of the
work is the developmnt, from seed, of
new varieties of potatoes specially
suited for certain purposes and adapt
ed to the special growing regions in
which such products can most econo-
mically be produced. A large number
Of seedlings have been grown and
those of greatest promise only re-
tanned, of which there are some 800
considered of sufficient value to war
rant further testing. These are being
tried out in cooperation with the va
rious State stations, and as soon as
they have proven their worth in any
locality arrangements will be made
to establish the variety in the region
to which it is best adapted.
Experiments leading to a determin-
alton of the factors necessary for the
production of disease from potatoes in
western irrigated sections have shown
that organisms capable of causing
diseases of potatoes are probably pre-
sent in all desert lands, but that land
previously in cultivation with grains
and alfalfa may, when disease is
planted, produce a crop comparatively
free from disease. In southern Idaho
the experiments on the control of
powdery dry rot in storage have been
completed and show that the losses
can be prevented by careful harvest
ing to avoid mechanical injuries and
by keeping the storage cellar a tenn
perature between 35 degrees and 40
degrees F., with proper ventilation.
When it is necessary to store in poor
ly ventilated or improperly cooled
houses the disease may be effectively
checked by distinction with corrosive
sublimate Of formaldehyde, provided
this is done within "a hours after dig
ging. Further surveys have indicated
that the powdery scab disease is con-
fined to six sections Of the United
States, all Of those being northern ex-
cept one locality in Florida. In every
case these areas are in sections with
considerable rainfall, where soil condi-
tons are such that poor drainage pre-
walls. It has been found that the d.
sease can be lessened by the applica-
ton Of seed and soil treatments. The
cause Of potato "leak," rapid type
Of decay causing serious loss in the
Delta district Of California, has been
discovered and experiments have
shown that it can be controlled by
careful harvesting and sorting before
shipment.-Annual Report Chief Of
Bureau Of Plant Industry.
