should declare the match a draw.
Such are the statements Of the lead
ers in reply to the reporters query,
How do you account for the. result?"
OF the annual rabbit hunt The hunt
varied little this year from the
usual, taking the form OF contest be-
tween two sides, one marshaled by DR..
G. +. Larson and the other by Thos.
conlin. NJ. +. Richards acted as In
spector for Conlin and w j. Richards
for Larson The only rule adopted
was that rabbits must be presented
TO the inspectors warm"
The hunters ranged under the Lar
son banner were Aryid Bjork, Sam
Jacobs, VIII Rein. Dr. Noyes, =. ].
Oswald, John Stolberg, Jess Jessen,
Todd Webb John Bauer, Tom Brooks
and Joe Thouin
On Conlin's side Herman Holmes,
r. b. Webb, Frank Ball, L. A. Henry,
VIM. Holmes. DR. Hochngs. c. II. Wat
son, Henry Kern. John Erikson, Ira
Odgers and John I<lesges.
The Larsonites proceeded, immed-
lately after lines were drawn, TO tie
up all the dogs in town and therein
lay their weakness They got so over
confident that John Bauer left his dog
at home. feeling that enough dogs
would be on hand anyway.
While the Larsonites were tying up
the dogs the Conlin followers were
tying up the rabbits. on the theory
that after all rabbits, not dogs, would
count. John Erikson had whole col
ony ready for slaughter out near the
Dunn mine while John Klesges was
feeding another squad on dog bones
down back OF the Tufts market
Todd Webb caused squirt in Larson
stock by cornering snare wire and
"Bili' Rein invented a dope that
would make rabbits eat right out of
the hands of the hunters on the Larson
side.
However under the able counsel of
Chas n. Watson the legal adviser for
Conlin. and the encouraging words of
Brad" Webb. head dispenser OF cheer
for the same side. the Conlin side
kept their courage and theii plans
well in the foreground.
The first showing was made by the
Larson followers with their array of
dogs. This scared the more timid of
the Conlin supporters but when John
I1rikson cashed in sufficient rabbits to
win any ordinary contest their spirits
revived notwithstanding the fact that
the opposition tried to put over the
fruits OF whole days hunt by Sam
Jacobs I'm favor OF Larson on Wednes-
day.
When the Coniln side checked I'm AZ
little bunnys in a rabbit pie, prepared
especially for the occasion and the
inspectors admitted them because
they we're warm the contest was de-
cided and all joined In Teasing on the
delicious soups and other delicacies
that the chefs on both sides had
cooked up.
The hunt was pulled of az Fortune
Lake It's not recorded just how many
rabbits are left in the swamps OF that
locality but Captain Richards thinks
that the importations so balanced the
killings that Il will not be necessary to
find new ground for next years hunt

Justice Dayison's court last Mon
day morning contained a few remnants
of Christmas in the line of jags that
had been rounded up between Friday
noon and Monday morning. II was re-
markable that SO few showed up as

There were two lumber Jacks from
the Mansfield mine among the lot
They came to town about nine o.
clock Saturday and at III o'clock
they we're eligible for the bastile.
They didn't feel very good over their
adventure and persisted in telling that
they got their liquor from Chas. Lee.
Notwithstanding that they were told
that they didn't know what they were
talking about they insisted that they
were sober when they got started and
detailed how the start was made from
a bottle carried on the person of the
vendor The two men were sent back
to the Jail and will be held as wit

Where They Got Whiskey

Iron River originates some good
things but the best we have heard
from our west side neighbor came as
a result of the raid on the numerous
blind pigs that are doing business in
that community. The raid was made
by Sheriff Sensiba assisted by Depu-
ties Jessen, Urban and Eldred OF
This city and Mcfarland, Sensiba and
Monohan OF Iron River
Among the places visited was that
in which Iyar Malmquist, former
deputy sheriff and at one time a
saloon keeper in stambaugh is en-
ployed Malmqulst saw them coming
so the story goes, and by a quick
move spilled the evidence into wash
trough Deputy Monohan followed
close behind him and catching up
dipper full of the wash water he put
IL into bottle. The stun was examin-
ed and showed 3 per cent alcohol,
enough to put II under the ban in To-
cal option counties

In the case OF John Schiova there
was considerable OF a mix up. Prose-
cutting Atty. waffen objected to the
form OF the complaint and decided TO

The Hunt Contest.

Our democratic friends must
not get unduly excited over
various rumors eminating from
the boosters of Gov. Hunt as tc
the number of votes the COVER
nor has gained in the contest
now going on in Phoenix. On
the present legal proceeding nei-
ther Hunt nor Campbell will gain
or lose a single vote, simply for
the reason that the Court in this
case has not ordered the vote
counted. The present proceed
ing is just a survey of the ballots,
to give the attorneys an oppor-
tunity to try to find something
on which to base a contest. Af-
ter they get through with this
fishing excursion, if the Hunt
attorneys think they have found
sufficient probable cause to de-
mand a recount, a new suit will
be entered and the court will
then order the ballots recounted.
Personal representatives of both
Hunt and Campbell are watching
the survey of the ballots, and
are making such corrections in
the tally as they think the court
will sustain, and it is from these
unofficial sources that all the
rumors eminate as to the gains
being made by Gov. Hunt in the
recount. So do not get unduly
excited over rumors as to how
the contest is going.

Women's Club Buildings.

The last issue of the Arizona"
contained an extended and dis
criptive article on women's club
houses in this state, with illus
trations of some of the buildings.
The thought that came to US in
reading the article was why Win
slow ladies, who are interested
in various clubs in this city, did
not get together and build a
suitable club house for their
meeting place. The Phoenix
ladies raised most of their funds
by each member of the different
clubs taking one share of stock
at $500, and selling first mort
gage bonds for the balance of
the money, and the interest and
principal is being paid from re-
venue derived from rentals re-
ceived for use of the building for
parties, dances and other like
entertainments.
There are of course no where
near as many club women in
Winslow as there are in Phoenix,
but if our ladies would start the
ball to rolling by subscribing for
one share each. they could un-
doubtedly depend on material
assistance from the business in
terests of the community, which
would give them a substantial
sum as a working basis. and any
balance probably could be ar
ranged by a mortgage on the
property. A building with an
assembly hall on the second
floor would bring in revenue suf-
fcient to meet all interest pay
ments and upkeep. and create a
small sinking fund each year to
meet the principal when due.
There is another feature about
a woman's club house that has
even a greater value than dollars
and cents. 1t will provide a de-
lightful place for the young peo-
pie to hold their little gatherings
under refining influences, which
is an asset to any town, and will
return an hundred fold to the
general community. We realize
it will take considerable courage
on the part of the women to
start out to raise $4,000 or
$4,000 to build an attractive
club home, but they are equal to
the task if they only knew their
own capabilities along that line.

The coal situation in Winslow
is still a serious matter, and the
prospects for it improving at an
early day are not very promising.
Between the three coal dealers
the town has managed to be sup
piled with current needs by par
ceiling out what little coal they
receive in half ton lots, but with
a snow blockade or some other
interference with railroad traffic
for week would find the town
without fuel, and many of our
people would be actually suffer
ing. The mines claim the situa-
ton is caused by a shortage OF
cars. The Santa Fe railroad
came to the relief of the Win.

ing a car of company coal fo,

Community Obligations.

George Adams in Goodwin's Weekly.
L met the champion knockel
the other day-one of those small
souled individual who goes along
through life spreading thorns.
10 him everything was wrong
with the town, the people and
the things they did, He had a
long line of complaint; in fact.
it is remarkable that a man with
such a contracted soul should be
capable of so much adverse COM
ment.
This man has a good wife and
good children. He says he loves
them. They have to live with
him, and pity it is.
He has no real friends. he has
acquaintances, and they pity
him.
He says the town is wrong:
The people are not united. The
business men are a bunch of sell
fish, grating individuals who
plan to thwart the very souls of
the poor.
He says that the business in
terests never do anything to
build a greater city. From his
viewpoint they hinder develop
ment.
The churches are all wrong:
The educational system of the
city is a failure; in fact, nothing
in the world is right in the eyes
of this withered souled pessimist.
This fellow that | have been
talking about is a champion pes
simist, and there are many men
trying to initiate him and who
are succeeding in greater or less
degree.
And that's the point.
The sooner the pessimists
shake themselves and awake,
shake off their imaginary. fears,
repent and adopt. the gospel of
optimism, the sooner will his city
become what it should be.
Every man has community
obligation. Everybody owes the
community in which they live an
undivided support.
Buildings and paved streets do
not make cities, but people do.
AS your people are, so is your
city.
The Romans built we'll while
the people were true Romans.
With the degeneration of the
people came the crumbling of
the empire.
Turn back a few pages in mem
ory, to schoolboy days, and you
will trace the rise and fall of
nations, countries and their cities,
to the favorable or unfavorable
activities Of the inhabitants.
Community leaders work un-
tiringly for the community's best
interests, and about all the re-
ward they get is the discord from
the wall of some pessinsist.
Are you an optimist or are you
preaching pessimism? Do you
believe in the future of the town
in which you live?
Are you doing your share?
Are you paying your community
obligation or are you letting the
other fellow do the work of de-
velopment?
The best resolution you can
make is that you will play fair
with your town and give it the
best you have, joining hands
with the workers, fastening the
heritage awaiting in greater
city.
If the work being done does
not suit you, it is your duty to
help correct the faults that may
exist. You are a plain coward
if you criticize the men who are
giving their time and money to
do something in the interest of
the city while you sit down, COM
