CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATOR

H. B. Watson, owner and editor
Of the Arizona State Miner of Wick.
enburg is a journalist who has been
actively in fourth estate harness for
nearly so years. In 1880 he founded
and published the Tucson Daily Rec
ord, financed by Sheriff Chas. Shibell,
S. w. Carpenter and Grant Curry.
Grant, Oury's individual donation to
the publication was a check for $3.50
given to Watson personally in admir-
alton of the latters rising ambition
to be journalist. The paper was
successful and Grant Curry and it's
other democratic supporters were sue
cesSful, Mr. Curry becoming the first
Democratic territorial delegate for
Arizona. Later H. B. Watson assisted
in the establishment of the Tomb
stone Epitaph, where he was press
man under Tom SOrin and Charley
Reppy, two st. Louis printers. He
was a pioneer of the now extinct
hellroaring mining camp of the CHR
icahuas known as Galeyville, and was
a printer there in establishment of
the Galeyville Journal issued in 1882
by J. B. JOurdan, who came to Ari-
LOud l1Om AOAPOO, SuA1AOA LILO. w ot
son began publication of the Wicken-
burg State Miner about six years ago
and despite the scarcity of population
and light business patronage has been
successful in establishing perman-
ent newspaper there, which is now
being published by his two eldest
sons, aged IA and 16 years. "Dad
Watson" says Dunbar's Magazine, sis
outspoken and hits from the shoul-
der" AS a candidate for State Sen
ator he is representing the western
part of Maricopa county and ought to
get every vote in it. Two months
ago he announced himself for that
Office on an anti-pact platform, and is
a firm supporter of Arizona and her
heritage in the Colorado river-an as
set that she should never part with
by ratification of the pact. Signing
it will force her people for the next
five generations to pay tribute to pri-
vate capital who will use this asset
in developing Asiatic colonies in Mex
leo to AriZona's loss.

of delayed partial payments. With
all of it's limitless resources, says
Cox, Arizona is certainly big enough
and rich enough to assume this re-
sponsibility. So long as the state of
Arizona was solvent, the depositor
would be protected in full. The plan
in question is not new. Depositors'
guarantee laws have worked out with
marked success in Texas, Nebraska
and other states.

Judge Samuel White is an ideal can
didate for Superior Judge, according
to the most prominent litigants OF
Phoenix. He is IAN ardent democrat
and an active supporter of John w.
Davis, the democratic presidential
nominee. The editor of the Arizona
State Miner has thoroughly investi-
gated Mr. Whites qualifications and
unequivocally endorses him. We be-
lieve he should and will receive the
earnest support of the voters in West

Sam Powell, Another Arizona Pio-

and well known pioneers or Arizona,
and a resident of Wickenburg for 40
years passed out on Tuesday morn
ing. Sam had been failing for over
a year and when he appeared among
the Pioneers at their celebration in
Phoenix, despite his decrepit condi-
ton sang "The Brindle Steer with
a spirit as young as when the writer
knew him in the Black Hills in 1875.
Beloved by all who knew him, of a
jolly and accomplishing nature, poor
old Sam lived the strenuous life OF
a miner on his claims eight miles
from Wickenburg. What remained
of him we took to the little ceme-
terry over the hill at a. m. on
Thursday morning. While he sleeps
there in tranquility a thousand souls
who knew him in this life can pause
a moment and wonder how soon that
six feet of earth which pays all debts

must surely swing ajar. For Sam was

EXTEND NEW RAILROAD
Propose to Build Trunk Line
Through Tomahawk to
Reach Lake Region.

A map of the proposed Madison
to Portage railroad, application
for the sale of stock for which
road is now pending before the
railroad commission, is said to
show the railroad continuing
northward to Merrill, Tomahawk
and Heafford Junction.
This would connect with the 500
line from Minneapolis to Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich, on the north and
with the Illinois Central at Madi-
son. This would make the new
road a link which would connect
the Illinois Central, which now ex-
tends as far south as New Orleans,
with the upper Wisconsin resort
country. At the same time, it
would tap the Wisconsin river
paper mills for the 500 line and
afford direct local connections be-
tween upper Wisconsin valley
cities and Stevens Point Wausau

BEAT DEER WITH MAUI
Another GOOD" Sportsman
Kills His Game With Spike
Maui and is Lauded for it.

Born of the hunting season
come stories of prowess, by mod
ern he-men of the out of doors.
Thus this romance from Couderay:
A gentleman propelling himself
over a woodland railway on hand
car, flushed buck. The animal
leaped into a barbed wire fence,
his antlers became entangled, and
he hung there helpless. The gem
tleman forthwith beat him to
death with a spike maui. Thus was
added, to the glorious trophies of
the chase, one antlered head.
Now, if this gentleman, in the
city, had beat a horse to death
with a spike maui, his hunting
prowress wouldn't be widely pro-
claimed. Even if, on his mornings
stroll, he skillfully dubbed am I'M
leashed dog to death with his cane,
he'd hardly get on the honor roll
at his club. But the same gentle
man, in the woods, being a he
man, out a-hunting, may beat an
entangled deer to death with a
spike maui in the nameeof sports
manship and tell about it.
Of course there wouldn't have
been any sport in releasing that
buck; or any joy in seeing him
bound away; or any trophy then,
or the thrill that must come to a
gentleman who can slay a buck,
entangled, with a maui.
Thus, SO long as there are gen
tlemen who can kill deer with
mauls; so long as others will lis
ten, in admiration, to hunting
stories that include such exploits,
so long will the out Of doors suffer
by mems cussedness and the grim
barbarity they bring to Gods
great open spaces. Milwaukee

Will Pass Gasoline Tax.

Unless all signs fail, the coming
legislature will pass law provid-
ing for a gasoline tax. At the re-
cent meeting of the State Grange
a resolution was passed favorinp
two-cent tax on gasoline. Thus
large portion Of the farmers are
lined up. for the tax. Practically
all the county boards have ex-
pressed a similar sentiment, and
the public generally SENS to be
favorable to it. The amount that
the tax should be may cause some
discussion, but the rate suggested
in the Grange resolution appears
to us to be fair and just. A four
cent rate suggested in one of the
resolutions passed by one county
board is too high. Two cents is
not out Of proportion with that
imposed by other states, and the
revenue from such tax would
run well into the millions. Anti

Better for the Farmer.

Agriculture has turned the cor
ner and better times are ahead.
Ten years from now the farmers
will be in better financial condi-
tion than if they had not met the
period of depression through which
they have passed.
This is the opinion of D. H.
Grady, widely known Poi tage
farmer. He believes that Wiscon-
sin farmers have weathered the
storm better than those of any
other state and that they now
have the best opportunity to reach
new levels of prosperity.
Constructive plans to take adj
vintage of the opportunities are
the next need, he says. From
now on it is up to the individual, y
Mr.. Grady explains. Each has
his own farm with it's peculiar
needs and possibilities. Different
farms need to be developed along
the lines for which they are espec-
tally adapted"

Has Peculiar Lawsuit.

AS a result of the death of Geo.
II. Cooper of Bangor it is reported
that suit will be filed against the
village of Bangor for very large
sum. Mr.. Cooper's death is said to
have resulted from the drinking
poison monshine. 1t is charged
that the liquor was purchased of
y. II. Johnson, soft drink dealer,
operating under a village permit.
AS result of the charge Johnson
was arrested and will be tried for
manslaughter. The suit against
the village is brought because the
village board was warned that
moonshine might have fatal re-
suits if sold to Cooper. The CO.
operation of the village authorities
was requested to prevent such
sale. 1t apepars the action of the
board was noe effective and the
suit If carried through will deter
mine their liability in the case

City Helps Stranded Family.


Trying to make a trip from Su-
perior to Chicago in an automo-
bile at this time of the year is
not a very pleasant experience as
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Dodd and three
children can testify, says last
weeks Hurley Miner. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dodd and children endeavored to
make that trip last week and their
car, Buick, got stranded on the
highway between Saxon and Kim
ball Sunday night. They came in
to Hurley and were forced to ask
financial assistance of the city to
continue on their journey. Prac-
tically all their funds were ex-
pended on their journey from SUI
perior here in payment for aid in
having their car pulled out Of the
snow banks and drifts. The city
advanced the couple $50 on Mon
day and that night they continued
on their journey to Chicago via
the railroad. Their Buick car
was left in charge of city officials
as security for the $50 advanced
to them. Mr.. Dodd had both of
his feet slightly frost-bitten as the
result of his experiences on the
snowbound highway from Superior
here, but was able to accompany
his wife and children to Chicago
Monday evening.

ing in their community. He starts
in with twenty-five years ago when
the outfit comprised hand press
and couple shovelsfull of type,
and keeps on explaining how the
plant has been built up to a really
modern institution such as it Is
today. He tells of the ups and
downs; how he had a heck of a
time meeting his bills for many
years after he. started, and just
how long it took him to get into

School Criticism.

If the most good is to be derived
from school visits of parents and
other patrons, the school should
have the benefit of any sugges-
tions or criticism that they may
have to offer. The public schools
are a cooperative enterprise, and
to obtain the best results, we
should all be working on plans for
their improvement.
1t might seem presumptious for
one who has not been in school
building since he graduated, to
offer a criticism of school teacher
or executive, but since school
authorities always invite an ex-
preston of sentiment regarding
conduct of the schools, patrons
may feel free to say what they
wish.
The Parent-Teachers Association
will offer a good outlet for such
expressions, and every well-wisher
of the schools is hoping that a
renewed interest will be taken In
this organization. 1t can be made
a forum for discussion of school
problems in an intelligent way,
with the entire elimation of per-
sonalities, and with only one aim
school betterment.
And in offering criticism, school
patrons should not do so in the
spirit of finding fault, because
such methods will not build up
but tear down the school morale
Criticism given only with the best
interests of the schools in minC
will be of some value-Ex.
