]. D. DUNN REMOVES HIS
 HAT TO THE VOTING PUBLIC

J. D. Dunn has carefully removed his hat and placed it in the ring with great big label on it, stating he is candidate for the nomination on the Democratic ticket for the office of assessor. Mir. Dunn has held the of. flee of assessor for the past two terms and the people are mighty well satis- fled with his work. He bases his claim for favorable consideration from the hands of the public on the grounds of having had valuable experience in the past which will be of value to the people in securing a full and equit- able assessment of all taxable proper ty, thus distributing the taxes among all payers alike. He has made an en- viable record in gathering up all tax able property, but in doing so has not jeopardized his record for fairness by standing for an unjust assessment.
 He has fought the peoples battles with the State Tax Commission when he was convinced that an injustice was being done through some error or method of arriving at their conclu- sion. He has taken the same inter- est ln ail CLASSICS Ol pIopeIIy dsocsocu, for either the large or small owners, and is never too busy to listen to the grievances of anyone who has busi- ness with his office.
 Outside of the fact that all asses sors, when they come around with an armful of books, bring up disagree able subject, Jack is not an unpleas- ant man to meet. Two years ago he was given clear field on all sides, but with no opposition felt it his duty to represent" during the campaign just the same. He has many friends over the county who are boosting for him and are strongly of the belief that he will meet himself coming back when he leaves office at the end of this term.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETS.

A meeting of the Flagstaff Board of Trade was held in the city hall Wednesday evening. Owing to wealth Ter conditions, the attendance was not as large as it otherwise would have been. There was nothing of special interest before the meeting-just the regular routine work.
 As has been the custom heretofore, there will be no more meetings of the board during the rest of the summer until September, unless something of importance should come up necessi- tating special meeting.

George Greet, who is the committee on public information for the United States, and who gives out the line of dope the people should try to believe, is using whole pages in magazines to prove that advertising does not pay. We are in hopes that he will get a hunch and have the government take over the newspapers of the country, many of which could be made to pay if the U. s. treasury was behind them.

Sames of Douglas was elected chairman of the state committee to take the place of Thomas Maddock now in the national service.

IN THE I. W. W. TRENCH.

Governor Hunt of Arizona took oc- casion to say that in one particular strike in the state the l. w. w. dio not figure, but that it was contest between the copper mine owners and Legitimate organized labor" Dei Lincoln Staats Journal makes this the opportunity for a defense of the l w. w. itself. It is the most amazing editorial that has ever appeared in ( Nebraska newspaper. Read it in De, Lincoln Staats Journal, issue of May 23, 1918. Der Staats Journal concludes it's remarkable editorial in these words:
 The charge that German money
 backed the l. w. w. has been
 abandoned.
 This Is interesting to Nebrask-
 ans just now. The state council
 of defense is officially demand
 ing the dismissal of certain in-
 structors at the state university
 for holding views similar to those
 of Governor Hunt and the Presi-
 dents mediation commission and
 MT. Bruere in explanation of the
 1. w. w. Have we come to
 point in Nebraska where citizens
 must sympathize with the copper
 or steel trust as against their dis
 contented employees or be branded
 as disloyal?
 There you have it in form very dear to Bill" Haywood q. w. w leader) himself. 7gs
 According to Der Staats Journal, 2 man who denounees traitor organi- zation that is at war with the govern ment, in league with America's enemy and seeking to destroy the property of the country, is sympathizer with corporations.
 The men who defend the l. w. w and offer excuses for it's villainies arc merely exercising the privilege of ar American citizen to stand with hon est labor.
 Was there ever a greater insult te honest labor? Was there ever more brazen editorial utterance?-Omahs Nebraskan.

HIGH WATER
At NEEDLES

Not in all the history of Needles.
varied as its chapters might be. was
it SO wet as last Saturday week. ac-
cording to the Needles Nugget In
the forenoon there was gathering of
clouds which resulted in a downpour
that threw great rivers of muddy
water, running pellmell through the
streets and into cellars and houses.
The first storm was Thursday after
noon, which was considered a food
and arrangements were made for the
removal Of the sand, gravel and can
ned rubbish that came floating down
the streets to be deposited In the
fences and against the curbs. Work
had hardly begun on the cleaning Of
the streets when another storm hoy
cred over the hills to the south of
town and there was again another
flood of water which greatly exceeded
the flow of Thursday, preceding.
This storm had just finished and
the flow of waters began to show
some abatement when there was an
other gathering of clouds and an
other downpour, which exceeded If
possible, the previous deluge, and
with this added to the already big
flow of water, the streets became as
rivers and the lower parts of the city
as lakes in which the homes of num-
bers of the residents were but seem
ing boat houses.
In the eastern part of the city the
water was held back by the railroad
fills opposite the plant of the Needles
Ice company. The houses in this To-
cality, many of them, were some feet
below the level of the railroad track.
The opening underneath the tracks
of the Santa Fe was admirably in
adequate to take care of the flow.
The water reached the window sills
in a few of the houses and several
had much mud deposited upon their
floors. Damage to furniture, carpets,
etc, Is considerable in each of the
homes. A few women and children
found themselves surrounded by the
waters and had to be taken
out on the shoulders of men who
were themselves up to the neck In
in the water.
1t is fortunate that the storm was
in the hours of the day, as had it
been at night, the possibility of loss
of life would have been great in the
darkness. =.
