Boys Are Getting Hungry.

Recollections of the toothsome
banquet of a year ago has whet-
ted the appetites of the business
men for the second annual event
which is now about due. A COM
mlttee is now busy working out
the details for a banquet at the
Harvey House on st. Patrick's
Day. While the plans of the
committee are not as yet COM
plete, they give it out that the
arrangements for good time
will equal if not excel the one
given year ago. A number of
invitations will be sent outside
the city to prominent personages
to be guests of honor, and a reg
ular Niagara of wit and wisdom
will deluge the assembled diners.
The plates will be two bucks"
each, and when you see Bob
Walton coming either run or dig
for your pocketbook.

New City Ordinances.

lNeW NIty ordinances.
At the council meeting last
Monday evening two new or
dinances were passed, one regu-
lating pool halls and one regulat-
ing gambling. The pool hall or
dinance sets the closing hour at
midnight. The ordinance regu-
lating gambling makes it a mis-
demeanor to play cards or any
game of chance for money or
anything of value. This ordi-
nance applies with equal force
and effect to card parties where
the charming hostess offers
prizes to the victors for the big
scores at auction bridge or five
hundred. This is just as it
should be. There is.no more diff
ference, except in degree of the
stakes, between playing poker
for money and playing auction
bridge for a piece of cut glass or
hand-painted china. Card play
ing is a pastime, and if it re-
Quires prize to add zest to a
whist party, why the objection
to a party of men putting up a
dollar a piece and the high score
man at a rubber" at solo take
the pot. Both are gambling, and
the way to stop gambling is to
enforce the law.
The council gave the gas COM
pany permission to install two
street gas lamps at points to be
designated by the street and
alley committee, to test their eff
ficiency and expense of mainten-
ance with the idea if they prove
satisfactory to put in number
at different points.
The street commissioner was
instructed to notify lot owners
| in the business section of the
city to repair their walks, and
where old board walks are now
in use order them removed and
permanent brick or cement walks
installed. If@the order is not
complied with in thirty days the
city will make the improvements
and tax the cost to the property.
The council are getting anxious
to have a fire truck, and they
may wait long enough to include
the cost of one in the annual
budget, although for a time it
looked as though the mayor and
council would take the money out
of their pocket for that purpose
and lend it to the city.
Mr.. C. E. Perkins appeared
before the council, and rendered
his services to the city at any
time they had any surveying 10
do. Mr.. Perkins is an excellent
civil engineer, who has done con-
siderable work for the city in the
past.

Closing Hours.


zona legislature will go down ir
history as rare combination OF
nightmares and jokes. The best
thing about it is that its days are
numbered and it will pass out Of
existence and memory. Bills
have been introduced covering
every conceivable subject except
good wholesome legislation so
sadly needed by the state to cor
rect the vicious laws passed by
previous sessions.
After frittering away about
half the session over the general
appropriation bill the house final
ly passed it and sent it to the
senate to be whipped into some
presentable shape so it will re-
ceive the signature of Gov.
Campbell. With the passage of
this bill the last hope of the bud
ding statesmen for an extra ses-
sion has gone glimmering. Ma
vajo county's brilliant statesman
Osmon D. Flake, jumped into
the breach as leader of the oppo-
sition to the passage of the bill,
no doubt anxious for a special
session so he could continue in
the limelight at 81 per, which is
more money than he can earn in
private life. He frantically Wav-
ed his arms and shouted about a
steam roller" which finally hit
him and ironed him out fiat and
into silence. And then to get
even with somebody he intro
duced a bill abolishing the Tempe
normal school. He won't get
anywhere with it except to dem
onstrate the assinine possibilities
of a small bore politician.
The minimum wage bill for
women was amended to read $40
instead of SIP, and was then
passed by the house, but it has
no chance to get by the senate.
Creating game preserves seems
to be the only popular pastime
in both the senate and house,
and leads one to think the wild
game of the state had a right to
vote.
Evidently there are but two
counties in the state that are en-
titled to make raids on the treas
ury, or have public buildings To-
Gated within their confines-Mar-
icopa and Yavapai. Several bills
have been introduced establish
ing new institutions, and the on
ly counties mentioned are these
two. The last bill is one asking
the state to buy a delapidated
old hut at Prescott that was once
used as the governors mansion.
Some real estate shark probably
owns it, and not being longer
habltable by a paying tenant,
wants to unload it on the state
at sentimental extravagant
valuation.
10 prevent a recurrance of the
disgracefuf tactics in the house,
where the general appropriation
was used to block legislation in
an effort to force a special ses-
sion, President Claridge of the
senate introduced a bill propos-
ing an amendment to the con-
stitution that the general appro-
priation bill shall embrace moth
ing but appropriations for the
different departments of state,
state institutions, public schools
and interest on public debt, and
it shall have precedence in its
consideration, and no other bill
shall be passed by either house
prior to the passage of the ap.
preparation bill, except emer.
gency bills. All other appropri.
ations will be made by separate
bills, each embracing but one
subject.

No Bond Election.

No Bond Election.
We learn from R. B. Walton
that the board Of supervisors at
their regular meeting last Mon
day reconsidered the proposition
of calling the S125, 900 road bond
election, and the matter has been
postponed to some future date.
The supervisors are intending to
call a public meeting at some
time in the near future of repre-
sentatives from all sections of
the county to consider the mat
ter of voting some amount of
bonds to improve the roads Of
the county. The Winslow Mail
has been satisfied for some time
that as soon as the supervisors
learned of the general opposition
to the bond proposition as called,
they would recall the election
and save the unnecessary eX-
pense. There is no debating the
proposition that the county will
some day have to vote bonds to
improve the roads, and the pre-
sent opposition was not prompt
ed by any antagonism to the
board of supervisors, but tile
sentiment was almost universal
that the present was not an op-
perfume time.
Citizens Military Training Camp
The War Department has made
plans for establishing a series of
summer training camps for citi-
zen soldiery during the coming
summer, and the following places
have been tentatively agreed
upon for the camps: Austin,
Texas, May 4-June 3; Dallas,
Texas, June 16-July Is; Alex
andria La, July 28-Aug. 27;
Houston, Texas, Sept. 8-Octo-
Der z; Las Vegas, N. NJ, July Fl
August 20.
The objects of these camps are
to instruct and train the citizens
of the country in the use of arms
and in the tactical use of troops,
to teach the military history and
policy of the United States, and
the military conditions existing
therein, and also to prepare those
desiring commissions in the Of
ficers' Reserve Corps for the
duties pertaining to such COM
missions.
These camps may be attended
by any male citizen of the United
States, (or any male who has
declared his intention of becom-
ing a citizen) between the ages
of Is and As, who is in sound
physical condition and of good
moral character, and who has
had the equivalent of a high
school education.
Attendance at these camps in
wolves absolutely no obligation
of any kind for future military
service. AS explained below,
those who have completed a
course of three camps, may be-
come members of the Officers
Reserve Corps, subject to call in
the event of war.
Transportation from the at
tendant's home to the camp and
return, will be furnished by the
United States; the exact manner
in which this will be done has
not yet been decided upon. Sub
sistence while at the camp will
be furnished by the United
States without cost to the atten-
dant.
Applications to attend any of
these camps should be made to
