Golfer MAXWELL HUNTS
NEW MEAL TICKET


The Golfer Maxwell-Kimball high
line combination entertained an aud
fence in Columbia theater Thursday
night. Maxwell was the big spieler"
and put out his well-known line of
bunk on the Colorado river compact
and the highline canal-an insane
proposition that is ridiculed by every
reputable engineer in the state and
United States. Maxwell tried to get
the nomination for congressman on
the republican ticket and was turned
down hard, while kimball met the
same fate at the hands of the demo-
Gratis as a candidate for state senator.
That is how they and ther plans stand
with the people. They do not represent
any party in particular, but are strong
for Hunt for governor and what they
are doing makes it just that much
more certain that Hunt will go down
to defeat.
Being a self-styled engineer, Max
we'll is naturally an ardent supporter
of "306" which would appropriate
100000 for investigation Of the Colo
RADIO river. The United States govern
ment has spent a vast sum of money
on this work and information of any
kind concerning the river can be Sc
cured by writing to Washington. BY
voting for 1906" the taxpayers will
put 100000 in the hands of these
skyline fellows whose plans were dis
credited by the voters when they were
defeated for the nominations they
sought in the late primaries. Don't do
it.-St. Johns Observer.

tics in Yuma county, and is widely
known throughout the state.

a REAL SOUTHERN
ARIZONA SUMMER STORY

torridity came to light in the prison
yard the other day. 1t seems that
during one of the exceedingly hot
days of the past summer one of the
pet turtles seeking relief from the
heat, crawled under the oven plate of
one of the yard stoves. Ignorant of
the turtles presence, the stove owner
proceeded to "cook up" the evening
neal, and the turtle was later found,
roasted to a turn. "Why didn't the
bloonin' fool come out when the fire
vas started over him." asked one Of
the boys, a recent arrival. "Hul!"
was the quick response of the old
timer, "he must have figured that if it
was that hot in the shade there was
