Henry Hail. candidate to succeed
himself as sheriff, paid his hundreds
of friends in Ray a visit the. latter
part of this week. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Hall, and, while the
officer came partly on business, it
was not possible for him evade talk
ing politics. There has been a story
set afloat throughout the county that
under Mr.. Halls administration was
an enormously expensive 0ne, espe
cially so far as deputies were con-
cerned. Fortunately, it is easy to as
certain the truth concerning such di-
rect from the county treasurer, who
pays all salary checks.
Accordingly, Sheriff Hall addressed
the following letter to Charles Cor
ham, the treasurer, and received the
answer as shown hereafter:
Florence, Ariz., July 27, 1918.
Mr.. Chas. w. Gorham, County Treas
urer, Florence, Arizona.
Dear Sir-If not asking too much of
you, would like to have statement
from your office, giving the names
and the amount of salaries of all dep
uties in Pinal county, who are paid by
the county as deputy sheriffs, in the
different precincts. This is asked for
the express purpose of publication, as
l am desirous of showing the taxpay-
ers and voters the true statement of
facts. You being the one who pays all
the county officers their salaries,
statement from you will be authentic
and cannot be questioned by any one.
Thanking you in advance, am,
Yours very truly,
HENRY D. HALL,
Sheriff Pinal County.

TOO MUCH PRAISE
SAYS JUDGE BAUGHN

Judge O., j. Baughn of the superior
court has written to the Copper Camp
taking this paper to task for the ar
ticle which appeared week before last
in connection with the announcement
of his candidacy Like most candi-
dates, Judge Baughn protests that
the statements in the article were un-
justifiable, and demands that the Cop
per Camp so advise its readers. But
in sharp contrast to the general cam
paign rule, Judge Baughn is dissatis-
fed with the article, not because it
was not favorable enough, but be-
cause, as eh says, Il do not think
am deserving of any such praise"
Nothing could be more character
istic of Judge Baughn, the very es-
sence of whose life as his modesty.
He does not deem himself worthy of
any such tribute to his abilities and
fair play as appeared in the Copper
Camp, and he writes TO protest that
it is not true.
The Copper Camp has not retracted
nor will it retract one word of the
article about Judge Baughn. TIE most
it will do is to advise it's readers
how Judge Baughn feels about it
in fairness to him, that information
is given. But retraction? Never
Judge Baughn, never.
And we are confident the people of
Pinal county at the next election will
approve as we have, of the praise of
Judge Baughn.

Industrial potentialities. and in this
war. as in its railroad and other ac-
tivities, Canada is showing an annaz-
ing Illustration of the strength and the
force Of its people.
We have been so accustomed to
think of the vast wheat fields Of Cam
ada and Of the great work that it is
doing in the war. and which for years
II has done in finance. that Americans
will doubtless be surprised to know
that the total value OF the agricultural
output of the South in 1917 was nearly
five times as great as the total value OF
the agricultural output OF Canada N
the same period.
In wheat Canada exceeds the South
because wheat is the great staple crop,
but in the aggregate of grains the
South is so far ahead Of Canada that
the latter is not even considered in the
running
The total value OF the grain crops
of Canada last year was $S75, $50, $50,

of the South was s2,219, So. O00-
