The Center

JNTHlLE Bob Peck was playing with
w Pittsburgh 1t was an easy matter TO
select an all-Eastern center. He was so
good that the others suffered in compari-
son and at the end was the unanimous
choice. This year. however, there are many
bids for the honor, but Bailey of West
Virginia, seems to eclipse the field He Is
only twenty years old, weighs 10 pounds
and is good both on defense and offense. He
is an ideal man to back up line and his
tackling cannot be improved upon. Three
fourths of the plays sent at the line are
stopped by Bailey. and the short forward
passes over the center usually are spoiled
by him. In addition TO that. he passes the
ball well. never gets excitedsand is an ex-
cellent leader. A

Hop Peddler.

Officer Gardner added a little
variety to his usual duties last
Saturday by picking up a Mexi-
can named Jose Flores, who land
ed here direct from Caliente,
Mexico, with a can of opium in
his possession. He was given a
preliminary hearing before u. S.
Commissioner Larson at Holbrook
and bound over to the federal
court. He informed the authori-
ties that some companions had a
suit case full of opium which they
had taken to Ashfork. The au-
thorities there were notified, but
an examination of the suit case
disclosed that it was filled with
a few hundred thousand dollars
of Villa money, which at the pre-
sent high cost of paper might
have some intrinsic value.

Swelling Out.

Our old friend Col. Vaughan
has decided he needs more room,
or more correctly speaking the
furniture business needs more
space to keep pace with it's de-
velopment, and a contract has
been let to Chas. Christman to
build brick addition 30x50 feet
at the rear of the present store
room. The contractor started
the work yesterday and it will be
rushed to completion. When the
new store is ready for occupancy
the firm will have a better op-
portunity to display their stock,
and increase the business, and
build more additions.

Death of Miss Moss.

The sad news reached here last
Sunday from San Diego that Miss
Dee Moss, county recorder, had
passed away in that city early
that morning. 1t was known for
some time past that her health
was gradually failing, but none
of her friends thought the end
was so near. She has been at
San Diego almost continually
since early in the winter, making
occasional trips to Holbrook to
keep in touch with the work in
her office, and only a few weeks
ago made her last visit, at which
time she did not appear to be
much weaker than usual. In
mediately on receipt of the news
of the. death of his sister, Mr..
Tom Moss left for San Diego to
take the body to the old home in
Texas for burial in the family
lot.y
Miss Moss was a most estima-
BILE young lady, a beautiful Chris
tian character, who was beloved
by all for her sweet and lovable
disposition. 1t was these char
acteristics that won for her the
place of county recorder, the first
LADY to hold an elective county
Office in the state under the uni
versal suffrage law. Last fall
she was reelected with practical
ly no opposition. She conducted
her office with painstaking fdeli-
ty, and the warmth of her smile
and her uniform courtesy to all
gave a home-loving atmosphere
to the recorders office, where
it was always a pleasure to 60
to transact business. Miss Moss
had been in poor health for num-
Der of years, but her painwrack-
ed body never prompted an un-
kind word, but semed rather to
sWeeten the life that was'so soon
to be brought to it's earthly close.

Pastor Resigns.

J. H. Monk, who has been
pastor of the Christian church in
this city for about a year, sur
prised his congregation last Sum-
day by rendering his resignation
to take effect August 1st. Mr..
Monk has one more years COL
lege work before he can get his
degrees, and an opportunity has
presented itself whereby he can
finish, which he has accepted.
Mr.. Monk will preach his fare
we'll sermon Sunday, July 22d,
and as soon as possible there
after will return to Texas with
his family.

The Elks state association met
in Prescott last week for their
annual meeting, and were royal
ly entertained by the local lodge.

Recorder Appointed.

The board of supervisors have
appointed Miss Pauline Woods, of
this city, as county recorder to
fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Miss Dee Moss. Miss
Woods has been deputy recorder
for more than 4 year past, and it
is a deserved promotion that has
come to her, which is most pleas
ing to her many friends in this
city. That her work has been
satisfactory in the past is evil
denced by the fact that no other
name was considered by the su-
pervisors for the place.

Superintendent of the Pioneers
Home at Prescott, the appoint
ment to take effect July 18th.
Mr.. Mahoney is in Phoenix, hav-
ing been called there a few days
ago, but the fact that the selec-
ton has been made public would
indicate that the appointment
has been accepted.

Water Hearing Tomorrow.

The state corporation commits
sion will be here to-day, and at
9 n. m. at the council room will
start a hearing on the water
rates and conditions in Wins
low. The people of the city
who are interested in the mat
ter of re-adjustment of the water
rates, and an improvement in
the service are all requested to
be present and give such infor-
nation as they possess to the
commission. The hearing is had
on a petition filed some time ago
asking for the installation of
meters and the fixing on an
equitable rate; but the scope of
the hearing will take up the mat
ter of inadequate service due in
a large measure to the overload
ing of small mains with too
many connections. The most
aggravatiag case is probably in
Mexican town south of the track,
where fifty or more water users
are hardly able to get enough
water for domestic use.

commissioners and all their cler
lcal force have been put in jeo
| pardy by the superior court O.
Yuma county, which recently is
sued a writ of prohibition against
the commission restraining them
from proceeding with a hearing
on the application of the Yuma
/. Water Company for permission
to discontinue supplying until.
tered water to its customers.
The date set for the final hear
ing on the writ is set for Sept.
I'D, and in the meantime, unless
some other action is taken by the
courts, the water hearing will
have to be postponed until after
the decision of the court has been
rendered on the restraining order.
The attorney generals office is
preparing to argue a motion to
quash the alternative writ, in the
hope of giving the commission
an opportunity to proceed with
the hearing in the water case.
1t appears the city of Yuma is
doing some street paving, and
under existing conditions the
water company will have to lay
two mains, one for filtered water
and one for unfltered water, and
it is to escape this double expense
that a hearing was ordered. If
the court refuses to dismiss the
injunction, and later at the final
hearing the injunction is made
permanent, so far as the corpora
tion commission is concerned it
is dead body, with no powers
left except to draw their salaries
until the end of their term of Of
fee. The final decision of the
court may be even more far
reaching than that by declaring
the law creating the commission
illegal, in which event the places
will automatically become vacant
If the supreme court of the state
would sustain the decision of the
lower court.
The attorney generals office
takes the position that the COM
mon law writ of prohibition was
abrogated under the Arizona
statutes so far as the hearings
and orders of the commission are
concerned, and that the hearings
and proceedings of that body
cannot be restrained, delayed or
enjoined by the superior court; !;
that an appeal lies only after an
order has been entered, and the
order is in full force and effect
during the course of the appeal
in the courts pending the deter
mination of it's validity.
The attorney general guesses
that the writ of prohibition was
abrogated in the case of the COM
mission, but the attorney general
guesses wrong so much that we
are not sure but what he is wrong
in this case. The corporation
commission is not a part Of the
judicial branch of government,
although it has certain judicial
functions conferred on it under
the constitution, and it it is pos
sible that in the hearing it will
be clearly established that the
powers conferred are an encroach-
ment of the judicial powers Of
the state, which alone under
the constitution has the authority
to adjudicate the rights of pro-
perty, in which event the corpora
ton commission will be most eff
fectually emasculated. Such a
sad ending would be regretted,
because a dozen sterling patriots
would be severed from the pay
roll of the state.
