The bond election held last Saturday submitting to the voters the question of raising funds through the issuance of bonds to the amount of $500 for the improve ment of the highways of the county were carried by al- most a two to one majority.
 Whiteriver, Keams Canyon and Pinetop went over the top unanimously for the bonds; Winslow in precinct No. l only had one vote against, while Holbrook gave the bonds a majority of 78 out of 106 votes cast.
 St. Joseph, Heber and Showlow were the only pre- cincts that said thums down unanimously, but these conn munities were given suffi- cient succor by the balance of the county to pry sthem out of their own ruts.
 The roads that will be im- proved as the result of Sat- urday's election will be the Holbrook to Apache county line to connect with the Springerville-St. Johns road; Holbrook to Winslow; Win slow to Coconino county line;

written on June 3, Harry r. Te-
drow. United States attorney, OK
plains how he was blocked by poor
laws and courts from restraining
the sugar profiteers of Colorado.
He condemns state governments
for putting the entire burden of
checking profiteering on the federal
government and indorses the Non

nation Of needless middlemen as a
means OF reducing consumer costs
and raising prices to aid the actua'

Hon. C. T. Rawalt.

My Dear Mr.. Rawalt The three
different prices Tor sugar made by
jobbers at practically the same time
for Gunnison possibly find an expla-
nation in the following:
The northern Colorado territory
is served by the Great Western Su-
gar company, whose price to the job
ber is $12.82 per hundred. The Ar
kansas valley, the south and western
parts OF the state. are supposed to be
served by the factories in their res-
pective localities. These latter
charge htghsrs price to the tohhea
than the Great Western. claiming
that their cost Qf production is
greater. The department of justice
has recognized as reasonable pro-
fit of cent per pound to the jobber
and 2 cents per pound to the retail

the refiner and the consumer. The
Gunnison dealer who buys Of Den
yer jobber would find his cost bas-
ed upon the northern Colorado re-
finer's price. The dealer who buys
in Pueblo would find his cost based
upon the Arkansas valley refiner':
price. My information is that the

serve any sugar this year for the
people of that region, but sold II

The Areal strength Of the home
team has finally announced itself.
Seven straight wins is not a bad
weeks performance. Langford
Pierpont. New Ellington, Milbank
and the pick up teams are the ones
minas scalps this week, and added
to them are the two taken from
Graceyille and Roslyn. The team
is becoming stronger each day. in
fact the best all'round aggregation
FOR quite distance around.

decided weakness is apparent in the

a great asset to the team. DIR. Me-

Besides beating Rosiyn and
Graceville, the locals have made a
clean sweep Of the chautauqua SER
les. The game that brought the
greatest number of fans out and
caused the greatest excitement was
the game with Milbank Wednesday.
But the outcome was anything else
than was expected. To be sure
Sisseton had expected to win. but
not SO easily. Milbank has pitch
err down there whom they fairly
worship. And to see him go down
to the tune of 8 to 0. caused consid-
erable sinking of the heart to that
city That Milbank had no chance
against the locals, was the common
verdict. Their pitcher has burned
up the little league they have down
that way, but that caused no alarm
here. Both Dean and Wick were
entitled to home runs. Wick's long
hit lit fairly inside the line, but was
called foul.
As the score book has accompan-
led the team to Hankinson. a more
complete account cannot be given
Of the games; but a good amount
Of praise is due each player for
these seven games. The team has
been strong throughout, too strong
for our nefghbors.
