The westward journey was a de-
light to them both. They felt they
were nearing the Promised Land.
| The two-room shack. a half mile
from the mine mouth, among the
towering Oregon mountains. seemed
to Leila a tiny paradise.
With q will. she set herself TO
| learning her new duties as frontier
house wife. II was. as she had pre-
dicted, "one long picnic" The noun
tain air gave her an appetite that
could digest even her own first ef'
forts at burned cookery; and vigor
that carried her through the far
heavier tasks OF sweeping. scruobing
and clothes washing.
Her Bingham dress was novelty.
So was her big husbands costume OF
corduroys. flannel shirt and thick
boots. Even the damp. black recess
es of the mine were q fairyland TO
her.
Then. imperceptfbly-day by day,
week by week-came subtle
change in both BRIDE and groom.
Toms fiery enthusiasm for work
was not proof against months OF dis
couragement al the mine. Funds
were ebbing: the force OF workers
was shortened; and not sign Of
the promised gold was found.
With logged determination Carter
toiled on: working twice as hard
as any miner in his employ. But 1t
Was the bulldog determination Of
beaten man who will not confess De
feat. No longer did he feel the joy
Gus xest OF q fortune seeker; but
rather the spirit of a pugilist who.
hopclessly outciassed, clenches his
teeth and fights on.
Leila, TOO, was finding that zone
long picnice may in time bear a
strange resemblance to "ore long
nightmare The tasks that had at
FIRST seemed a joke were now
dreary reality.
To rise in the dark OF a winter
morning when the mercury was 10
degrees below zero: to :haw water
over a smoky stove for cooking a
tasteless breakfast; to bend for
hours over a washtub. scrubbing oil
stained rough garments; to sweep
ami scour and mend. from dawn to
dark--this was no Paradise. at the
least, TO the gently reared girl. but
q foretaste OF its opposite.
And Toms lack Of success began
to get on her high-strung nerves.
even rs his giumly discouraged face
drew all the liveliness and sparkle
out Of her heart She was very
tired, very unhappy. utterly disillu-
stoned. She grew careless about her

so matters stood. one spring morn

, be undoubtedly depends on how time
deals with his better known theories
of the presence of intelligent life on
Mars.
No one Of good eyesight and open
mind, who has enjoyed the privileges
of a protracted study of the planet,
under the unique advantages enjoyed
at Flagstaff, can doubt the correct
ness of the essential facts; it is purely
a question of their Interpretation. The
surface of Mars is covered with an ex-
traordinary network of singularly ar
tifcial looking lines. The intensity
of these lines wakes and wanes in pc
riods that show remarkable relation
to the melting of the winter polar
snow caps. The atmosphere of Mars
is rarefied, butewe can not say that it
is insufficient to support some sort of
intelligent life. The planet appears
to have but little water on it's sur
face. If we adopt Lowell's theory
that the intelligent inhabitants of a
dying Mars are struggling to keep
alive by planet wide system of irri-
cation, from the water of the melting
polar snow caps, we shall find that
the theory accounts for all the OBJ
served facts. He supposes that the
so-called canals" are bands of culti-
waited vegetation dependent on some
system of irrigation forced down their
centers. 1t is these bands of vegeta-
ton which we see, and not the water
irrigating them. Just as an observer
at distance from our earth would see
the fertile strip of the valley of the
Nile-stand out against the desert
long before he could distinguish the
river. Moreover, it is found that the
identification Of the markings on any
part of the planets surface takes
place a sufficient time after the be-
ginning of the melting of the ada
cent polar snow cap 20 allow for the
water to reach that point and the
crops to grow.

Continuing the application of the
contestant, G. W. p. Hunt, for in
spectors to look over the ballots Of
the entire state, Judge Stanford gave
the contestee, Governor-Elect Tom
Campbell an opportunity through his
attorneys, to prepare their side of the
legal battle that will be waged over
the highest Office in the gift of the
people of the state.
Judge X. E. Sloan, for the contestee,
opposed the issue of the order APP
pointing inspectors, on the ground it
was premature and that the contestee
had had no chance to prepare his
course of action. 1t is said that under
the law, the contestee has not yet Off
cially appeared in court, either in per-
son or by attorney. Judge Sloan me-
rely acting as "friend of the court. "
Senator Ives for the contestant, an
nounced his departure for Tucson and
said he would be back on Saturday to
renew his application.
The fact that the matter seems to be
that the contestant has no case, and
plans to use the court machinery to
secure look at the ballots, not to re-
count them, but merely to see if he
has a peg on which to hang a con-
test. The indefnition of the bill of
particulars is one Of the peculiar
phases of the contest, if contest it
can be called.
There is good deal of speculation
anent the status of the governorship
in case the contest is not settled by
January 1. The best legal opinion of
the state is that unless the contes.
should be decided in Hunts favor
during December, Tom Campbell can
The Coconino sun. (Flagstaff, Ariz.) 1898-1978, 1916-12-15
LAWYERS THINK CAMPBELL WILL
Be GOVERNOR AFTER JANUARY

and will be inaugurated the first week
of the year. 1t is held that the decla-
ration of the election returns made
by Secretary of State Sidney p. Os-
born, officially qualified Campbell to
take office as the de facto, though not
as the de jure governor.
So, far from attempting to facili-
tate the decision on the governorship
contest, the incumbent is merely
scouting around to see what he can see,
prior to engaging in a real and pur-
poseful legal battle, in the event he
should accidentally discover some
thing on which to base his claims.
Since the double decision Of Judge
Kent on the manner of counting bal
lots in which the intent of the voter
is clear but the manner of expressing
it not exactly as ordained by custom,
the most prominent attorneys in the
state, both democratic and republi-
cans, hold that split ballots, of which
the contesting incumbent speaks so
feelingly, must be counted in favor of
Mr.. Campbell. Republicans of outside
counties have sent in word they had
definite information to the effect that
nearly two thousand ballots have been
counted for Campbell, had been dis
carded by democratic election boards.
In one case, it is said, the board, be-
ing in doubt, was instructed by the
attorney general to throw out such
ballots.
1t is understood also, that demo-
Gratis of ella county have warned the
administration not to risk a recount
of the ballots of that subdivision, not
only for the sake of the governor, but
for that of the democratic party.

VOLCANOES IN ARIZONA

An interesting report on the San
Franciscan volcanic field, Arizona, an
area of about 5000 square miles
south of the Grand Canyon of the Co
dorado is available for free distribu-
ton by the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior.
This report-Professional Paper 10
contains brief description of the
geography of the field and gives de-
tailed descriptions Of the volcanoes
and lava fields 1t relates the volcan-
ic history of the region and correlates
the periods Of eruption with the gene
raj history of the surrounding coun-
try. There have been three general
periods of volcanic activity in the San
Franciscan volcanic field, each fol-
lowed by an interval of uplift and
erosion. The latest outbreak doubt
less represents the final feeble erup.
tons in a long cycle of volcanism.
The paper is illustrated by excellent
halftone views Of some of the striking
geologic features Of the area and by
geologic maps and diagrams, which
help to give a clear understanding of
the region.

HUNTS PERSONAL
EXTRAVAGANCE

Eugene S. Ives, who, despite the
fact that he is recognized as a corpo-
ration lawyer, has been selected by
Governor Hunt to conduct the contest
of the recent election of Tom Camp
bell, has announced that no charge of
irregularity will be made, but that
every ballot will be taken to Phoenix
for full recount.
While this recount is going on there
will be Supporters of Campbell on
hand to see that the tabulation is cor
rectly made. 1t would be an insult to
the fair-mindedness of the people of
Arizona to intimate that trickery or
dishonesty would be thought of in the
recount. There are scores Of attorn-
eys in the state who would have han
died the case for the governor for a
moderate fee, and, as it is to be me-
rely matter of tabulating votes that
have already been counted, anyone
who can understand figures could
serve the purpose fully as well as
Ives. In, engaging Ives, Hunt has
made it necessary for the payment of
big fee; for the Southern Pacific's
chief counsel will value his services
at stiff figure, let no one doubt that.
The governor has been known as an
extravagant man in the administra-
ton of State affairs, but it was the
general opinion that he would shun
any excessive expenses that were per-
sonal. This, like many rash acts Of
his that have cost the public heavy
and unnecessary sums, is contracting
for bill to pay that easily could
have been avoided. 1t would appear
on its face that Hunt either thinks
Ives can put something over for him
that will defeat the will of the people
of the State, or has overlooked mat
ter Of personal economy.
1t is the height of foolishness to
blow in money on high-priced at
IOiHty III Ndiu Sduoc tiiiS way SNcu
if the contest should go beyond the
stage Of tallying ballots. Campbell
has been elected, and Hunt partisans
can count until doomsday without
changing the result, except by fraud.
As a matter of fact, the employ
ment of Senator Ives at reputed fee
of $1,000 is not personal extrava-
gance at all, for the money for the
fight was raised among bettors who
wagered money at heavy odds on
Hunt and by office-holders who will
lose their jobs when Campbell takes
his seat. 1t is dying gasp Of the
Hunt machine.-Tucson Citizen.

The Life of Trade

The proprietors of two rival livery

in busy street, have been having a
lively advertising duel lately.
The other week one Of them stuck
up on his Office window a long strip
of paper, bearing the words:
sour horses need no whip to make
them CO."
This bit of sarcasm naturally caused
some amusement at the expense of
the rival proprietor, but in less than
