A Game Sportsman.

There are two points upon which all
writer's experts and otherwise--a-
gree in commenting upon the fistic
battle at Jersey City. One is that
Dempsey is the superior fighter and
the other is that Carpenter was game

The Travers-Newton sChautauqua
Co. arrived last Wednesday and gave
very interesting entertainment. The
Boys Melody quartet on Wednesday
was specially enjoyed, their voices
blending beautifully in many old-time
songs. Ruth's Joy Girls gave de-
lightful entertainments on Thursday
afternoon and evening in both singing
and xylophone selections which were
attended by an appreciative audience.
The lectures each day were interest
ing and instructive. The best pro-
gram was Friday evening, when the
three-act comedy, "Cappy- Ricks," was
staged. The programs throughout the
three days were we'll attended and
many favorable comments have been
the result. Though not an entire sue

fully appreciated by all who were so
fortunate as to be able to attend.

vanquished contender, if he puts up
a fair battle and does his best, they
have a kindly feeling which they are
not slow to exhibit. Carpenter went
into this fight with the knowledge
that he was opposing the greatest
pugilist Of modern days, but he had
confidence in his ability to win and he
backed that confidence with the best
efforts he had in him. After his in

Intentions Good. Methods Poor

The Pullman porter's intentions
were good, but his methods poor. Two
sisters, near the sixty mark, were en-
route from Kansas to Indiana. The
younger, weighing about 80 pounds,
was convalescing from a long illness
and needed assistance in moving about.
The porter frequently was called for
help.
One morning he met the older SIS
ter, who weighed near the $50 mark,
and remarked:
'Why, your mother just walked
down the aisle. She must be much
better."'
And when the porter was told Of
the "social error" he had made, he
spent the greater part of the remain
der of the journey pleading with the
older sister not to tell Of his mis-
take.

Harry Pratt Makes Good Guide

The genial mayer of Zimmerman,
Harry Pratt, met two of the Unions
representatives last Monday who
drove to Zimmerman to see the peo-
pie in that town and visit the camps
of the road workers. Harry seems to
be right at home around those camps,
IN fact Mr.. Atkinson considers him
one of his frst-class men. Harry
must also be a frequent visitor at the
cook house judging from the 'tstand-
in" he seems to have with Mr.. Edeson
who is commander-in-chief in that
domain.

The Governors letter was directed to Judge Cochran because of the fact that the latter as member of the lower House in the late Ter ritorial Legislature, introduced a bill to create the office of Territor- ial Auditor and also to make the other Territorial positions mention cd above elective rather than ap- pointive as is now the case.
 The letter to Judge Cochran fol- lows in full:
 'I have read with great interest the bills proposing the creation of the office of auditor for the Terri tory and making elective the offices of the Commissioner of Education, the Territorial Treasurer and the Territorial Mine Inspector I have also read the press notes on the de bate in the House and Senate and have beens told thereof by those who participated therein.
 :. There is no denying the fact that there exists a considerable sen timent in favor of the creation of an auditor's office and making the other offices elective. On the other hand, there is an equally strong sentiment against such legislation. It might be well to analyse the merits of both. contentious.
 For An Auditor.
 Tt has been stated that there exists:
 "(a) Extravaganza in the dis bursement of Territorial funds:
 "(b) Improper audit of vouchers
 "(c) Unwarranted disbursement under the various appropriations; "(d) Lack of system in preparing vouchers and issuance of warrants
 'It is claimed that an auditor could save the Territory yearly vast sums of money.

This would have required no further machinery of government and would have given to the Territory a board audit of practically every ex- pendifure possible under the laws.
 Not Cure-All.
 "An auditor is not cure-all for extravagance. The peculiar i'm pression that an auditor can see be- hind the motive for an expenditure is fallacious. All an auditor can do .fs to note that an expenditure is made in compliance with law; that the voucher is properly supported by receipts and that the extensions are properly carried out.

 Let us take some of the expen- ditures which have received especial criticism, like the appropriation for relief of influenza and the appro- priation for relief of Restitution or the appropriation for the Pioneers Home. Each one of these appro- priations is covered by a definite law which. unless the law itself were repealed, could not legally be set aside by an auditors decision that extravaganza had been used in the payment of some certain YOU. cher.
