EULOGY FOR THE LATE JAMES WILSON WHO LOST
 HIS LIFE ON sTIKINE

Many peope in Wrangell will re- member Henry Ramon. the bril- liant lawyer of Portsmouth. Ohio, who has several times visited the Cassiar on big game hunting expe- ditions.
 This week Captain A. B. Conoyer received from MT. Ramon a letter of coincidence over the death of the late James Wilson who made his home with Captain Conover for a number of years. The letter of MT. Ramon, although short, and writ ten in simple language, is such a beautiful eulogy that we obtained Captain Conover's permission to reprint it in the Sentinel for the benefit of MT. Wilson's numerous friends. The letter follows:
 My dear Captain Conover:
 "We here who knew MT. Wilson Mrs. Bannon, Arthur and myself read with many bangs of regret your letter announcing his passing over the range from which no man re- turns. You have our sympathy; all of it that is in our makeup. Your united lives were indeed beautiful and there was something about them never seen in our cities. and but seldom in the lovely outdoors. We'll could Wilson say in Shakes peare's words:
 Ifresiy told you all the wealth had
 Ran In my vsins;-l was gentleman. Were I writing his epitaph I would quote from Tennyson: He bore the grand old name of gentleman. MT. Wilson was a gentleman by nature; he was a scholar and he was a phil osopher. He knew Western Canada when it was a wilderness. He lived through a period of history that will never repeat itself. What he saw will never again be seen, and what he knew is beyond being told by man. His subtle humor, his quiet conversation, his faithfulness, I shall frequently recall. know just how you feel about it and I am very. very sorry.
 But, Captain, there is some con- solation in the way Mir. Wilson passed on. All of us must go. He was beyond the three score years and ten. He was living on borrow ed time. He went quickly without pain or suffering. The ice broke and the river, In an instant, swept him into eternity. How much bet ter was this for him than to have suffered from paralysis. or from some disease of old age that b1ights ones brain. He did not feel 30 bad ly over it as you do now. If were alone would come to you and we woud spend the short summer and the long winter together. The great consolation is that Mr. Wilson lived to a ripe old age. Cicero. in his essay. On Old Age, that you have so often read, said: This ripeness is SO delightful to me, that. as I ap- proach nearer to death. seem as it were to be sighting land. and to be coming to port at last after long voyage. We call to him farewell and a good voyage"

POLITICAL POINTERS

August 30th is the last day for reg
istration
The democrats won't be turned
against Hunt this year by Ku Kluxers
nor Campbellites.
The Rushes, of the ill.fated Phoe-
nix Weakly Hard Times had better
rush out of Arizona or they are apt
to find home in Florence.
While Tom Campbell was in Pasa-
dena among the millionaire power
promoters Sidney Osborne came
home. 1t was noted the sudden can,
didacy of Sid netted the solicitors for
names on his petition Csc apiece for
every name. Sid's candidacy will
turn loose a pot full of campaign
money.
Since Heard has started for gov
ernor, the money he is paying out
for brass bands to boost the pact
might be put to better use in buying
acreage down in Mexico along with
Mulford Winsor. Colonel Fly, and
Harry Otis Chandler OF the Los An
geles Times.
Samuels may be Ku Kluxer, but
If he is, his Klux are not calling
many chicks to roost under his
wings.
A vote for Osborn may be a vote
against the Ku Klux, but it's more
apt to affect D. B. Heard.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

Upon being interviewed by the ed.
itor of this paper, relative to "Law
Enforcement" Stephen B. Rayburn,
prominent Phoenix attorney and
Democratic "wheel-hOrse", who was
placed in charge of the Phoenix pre-
cincts last election by the Democratic
Club, stated that the present condi-
tions were largely attributable to the
County Attorneys ONCE, and that
such conditions would probably con-
tinue if the voters of Maricopa County
did not awake to the fact that the
County Attorney is one of the most
important officers to be selected at
the coming election.
He further stated that five candid
ates were seeking the Democratic
nomination and that while all are
worthy of support, that Harry /. How
ard is the outstanding candidate and
best qualified for the position. Mr..
Howard is graduate of Cornell Uni
versity and Law School and has here
tofore been retained as special pros
ecutor in many important cases,
among which was the Harding case,
WACAC q GAOCAAA pOAACO OAACCG Wd0
convicted of the wanton killing of
young Colvin, poor Mormon country
boy. The county attorneys Office
was loathe to prosecute this case and
because of the pressure brought to
bear on them, many of the older at
torneys refused to act as special
prosecutor. Howard was employed
by the father of the murdered boy
and notwithstanding pressure and in
fluence brought to bear on him, he
prosecuted and convicted Harding.
On appeal to the Supreme Court the
conviction was upheld. This in itself
is a great achievement, as over one
half of the criminal cases appealed
to the Supreme Court during the ad-
ministration of the present County
Attorney have been reversed.
Mr.. Howard possesses courage and
ability; prime requisites of county
attorney, and If he is elected the
criminals will hesitate to commit
cold blooded murder and other crimes
since they know that prompt and
vigorous prosecutions will insue.
If the citizens of the county are
dissatisfied with the present county
attorneys Office and desire more
rigid enforcement of the law, a vote
for Harry I. Howard will be the most
effective form Of protest.

WHEN THE EVENING TRAIN
COMES IN

When the evening shade has fallen
And the sun has sank to rest
And the babies little curly heads
= Softly rest on Mothers breast
And the supper things are all washed
up
And neatly put away
And the children's frocks are al,
laid out
10 wear to school next day
'Tis then we slowly wander
With a satisfying grin
Down to the railroad depot
Just to see the trains come in.
You can find around the depot
Most anyone in town;
You can hear the latest gossip
And see all the latest gowns:
II you want to find the doctor
Or your friend across the street !.
Or perhaps you only go there
Your best girl for to meet:
You can bet your bottom dollar
Or your wife's old wedding ring
That you'll find them at the denot
When the evening train comes in
II you want to learn the latest news
Tnat's floating around the streets
ABOUT who will be elected
OF the ones that will be beat;
IL you want to learn the reason why
Inc Yankees lost the game
Or all about the weather
And the reason it doesn't rain:
II you want to learn the best recipe
For whiskey, beer or gin
just hang around the depot
When the evening train comes in

Trade With Advertisers.-Every ad-
vertiser who helps to keep up the
home paper helps and contributes to
the welfare of the town. Advertisers
make it possible for spread of the
most important news of our town
and vicinity. 1t is the advertisers
who contribute to the personals, birth
and death notices, information OF the
churches and those who are in dis
tress, meet with accidents, or who
seek information of the town, of it's
prosperity, healthy climate and re-
sources. The firms or individuals
who do not advertise are like the
penurious misers who look the other
way when the contribution box is
passed by the church deacon. They
are like the farmers who work the
land to death and never fert1iize.
Keep your trade for those who want
to live and let live, and they are the
firms who help toward newspaper pub
licity of the town and its enterprises.
Tightwads never built town, and
hogs are always slaughtered wnen
they get fat.

WHAT ARE WE UP AGAINST

The Wickenburg Library Associa-
ton came near being squeezed out Of
existence Tuesday night Somebody
covets the library, lot, and building,
leased to the city on terms by which
the city was to keep it insured, re-
paired, and add $100 a year to the
books comprising the library. These
terms have not been complied with
and the city's lease or title has been
forfeited. The efforts or suggestion
of Mayor Straughan to appoint COM
mittee of II to deed or transfer the
property brought out the strongest
kind of opposition from fair minded
people who have nursed the free IL
brary idea for years. Defeat of the
idea to dispose of the public library
building and contents, donated to the
people of Wickenburg by the Library
Association, came suddenly when peo-
pie realized it's full intent. Now, it's
up to the city to carry out it's con-
tract or surrender the keys back to
the original Library Associations
thing that was overlooked before ad-
journment. Was this a move to
force the Town conncil to rent another
building for the city clerks office?
Or was it designed to replenish city
finances? Those who founded the
library intended to perpetuate it to
posterity as indicated by it's lease to
the municipality. No one has auth
ority to sell it and it is a public
utility that cannot be sold or taxed.
