Harold Brown swung into the lead
in the race for the Democratic nom
ination for sheriff early this morn
ing and at S o'clock was 20 votes
ahead of Victor j. Wager, incum-
bent.
Wager had led for several hours
after the polls closed but Brown
gradually crept up on him and over
came his lead. With a large NUM-
Der of ballots yet to be counted in
Ward 8, Nogales, the outcome Of
the race was much in doubt.
The sheriff's race was not the
only close county contest. Several
other races were equally as close.
Mrs. Lucy Mitchell polled big
majority over her opponent, Roy
Coker, for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Recorder.
Mrs. Anna B. Ackley, for treas
urer; and Harry " Farrior, for as
SCISSOR; we're leading their oppon-
ents.
r. r. Frazier and John A Jones
won the Democratic nominations
for supervisor in districts Nos. l and
3. In District No. 2 the race was
close between Glenn Blankenshir
and w. H. Hathaway
Captain Charles E. Hardy, incun-
bent, defeated Robert M. Howell for
the Democratic nomination for JUS
tice of the Peace in Nogales precinct
and James A. Harrison won over c.
G.. Crenshaw in the contest for the
Democratic nomination for State
Senator.

PROBE OF LOCAL
RAILROAD LABOR
is CONCLUDED

Most of Saturdays hearing con-
Quoted by the Arizona Corporation
Commission probing the railroad Ia
Dor situation here was devoted to
testimony on the part OF railroad
employees in which the belief was
expressed that it is dangerous for
trains to be operated in the Nogales
yards by persons unable to speak Or
understand the English language.
Trainmen stated they had al
ways approached the yards at No
gales with extraordinary precaution
expecting to find, and often actual
~ finding, that the main yard was
occupied by switching crews when
under the rules the main line should
have been cleared for first class
passenger trains.
The railroads argument to this
was that such action had been fore
ed upon them by the Mexican gov
ernment.
A great majority Of the employees
in the local yards are Mexican citi-
zens.
A statement in Saturdays Inter-
national relative to Article ITS of
the new Mexican railroad law to
the effect that a number of Ameri-
cans had been dismissed by the S.
P. de M. on account of being Amer
leans, was incorrect.
These Americans" terminal Su-
perintendent P. E. Baffert said,
"had to be dismissed because of the
new Mexican labor law requiring
100 percent Mexican employees be
employed in the railroad service in
Mexico except those occupying posi-
tions of direction or supervision"

With less than half Of the total
precincts of the state tabulation, Dr.
B. 3. Moeur of Tempe appeared to
have been nominated for Governor
by the Democrats at yesterdays
primary.
In face of incomplete returns
Governor Hunts headquarters in
Phoenix announced at o'clock this
morning that they had not conced-
ed NGoeur's nomination. Fred SUIT
terror Governor managers conced-
ed the nomination of the Tempe
physician.
It is probable that the complete
state returns will not be available
until this afternoon.
Early today a supporter at Gov
ernor Hunts state headquarters in
Phoenix announced 1--WE have just
about conceded Moeur'S nomina-
ton" and that the reports from
Hunts former strongholds in Gila
and Cochise counties were not very
satisfactory"
DR.. Moeur polled heavy majori-
ties in his home county Of Maricopa
and he made a splendid showing in
other counties of the state. Re-
turns indicate Hunt is running Sec
ond, K. Berry Peterson third and
Sutter fourth.

Mrs Smiths Attempt
At Suicide Successful

Death, sought by Mrs. Barbara
Smith, 90, of Roy, formerly White
Bluffs resident, as an end to family
troubles, came last Tuesday morning
just week after she fired shot from
a 30 caliber rifle into her head, &C
cording to the Wednesday Tacoma
Times. The account continued
Following her death without once
recovering consciousness, James Smith,
her husband, ended ceaseless vigil
at her bedside, ordered her body re-
moved to Storlie's, and returned home
broken hearted.
Mrs. Smith is said to have shot
herself at their home last Tuesday
after a vain attempt on the part Of
her husband to affect reconciliation
following misunderstanding between
them.
"He had brought home Mrs. Smiths
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. S. G. Miller, to
talk to her and following their de-
parture she shot herself.
when brought to the hospital she
was on the verge of death and not
expected to live through the day"

Portland Planning Much
Amusement for Visitors

While in Portland Monday, DR.. E.
F. Newton, John Lindblad Post COM
mander, called at the national head
quarters of the American Legion and
obtained a book of registration GER
tiflcates, necessary to be in the pos
session Of all legionnaires expecting to
attend the national convention of the
American Legion to be held in Portland
in September. These tickets entitle the
holders to entrance to all Legion en-
tertainment at the convention this
fall. The price is $500.
Portland, DR.. Newton says, is max
ing great preparations for the coming
event, and among other things has
planned "Dugout" where barbecued
beef sandwiches and near beer will be
dispensed free to legionnaires at any
hour of the day or night.
Since registration is compulsory, all
those intending to go to the conven-
ton should attend to this matter at
once. The tickets may be found at DR..
NeWton's Office.

18th Amendment Endorsed
At Republican Convention

F. A. English returned home Wed
nesday evening from Seattle where he
had gone last Friday to attend as one
of the nine delegates from Benton
county the state Republican conven-
ton.
Mr.. English said that the two high
lights of the gathering was the cleo
ton by the anti Hartley group sf the
temporary and permanent chairmen of
the convention and the adoption of a
plank in the platform endorsing the
Eighteenth Amendment. The vote on
this latter was close and the victory
of the drys was made possible by the
Pierce county delegation of 81 votes,
who voted almost unanimously dry in
retaliation of what they termed a
breach of faith on the part OF the
King county delegation in not sup
porting Tacoma man for either tenn
porary or permanent chairman. A pre-
vious poll of the Pierce county dele
cation showed 10 vets and 81 drys.
The Benton county delegation voted
as unit with the drys.
Mr.. English spent Sunday, Mothers
Day, with his mother, Mrs. Alice Eng
lish in Seattle. During the rest of the
time he visited with his son and
daughter-in-law Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
English.
j. E. Fouty, who accompanied Mr..
English to the Coast, returned with
him Wednesday.

Bicentennial Quarter
Dollar to Be Issued

The new George Washington quarter
Treasury as feature of the nation
wide George Washington Bicentennial
celebration, will be coined in large
enough quantities to satisfy a normal
demand, officials of the Treasury have
informed the Bicentennial commission.
1t is expected that the quarter will be
ready for distribution before June 1.
The desigrfs Of tic new coin was ap-
proved by Secretary of the Treasury
Ogden L. Mills from more than a
hundred models, many of them sub
mitted by leading American artists.
1t was executed by John Flanagan,
New York sculptor and the designer
of the Department of Agriculture
World War Memorial.
The diverse of the new coin bears
the portrait of George Washington in
profile. Over the head appears the
word Liberty" and below it is stamped
the date 1892" To one side is the
motto "In God We Trust"
Inc DTlllClpul QtSlSIl Oll CllC oVliCl
side is a spread eagle with the inscrip-
ton, Omitted States of America" ana
"E Pluribus Unum" above, and GUAR
ter Dollar" below. An olive branch also
appears below the eagle to complete
stately, dignified design. The new coin
is exactly the same size, weight anf
fineness as the present quarter dollar.
The George Washington quarter is
the first coin of regular issue ever to
bear the image of the First President.
1t was authorized by special act of
Congress, making it possible for the
Treasury to share in the Bicentennial
celebration.
AS coin of regular issue the George
Washington quarter will replace the
twenty-five cent piece now in circu-
lation. No other quarter dollar will be
coined for the next twenty-five years
unless authorized by special act of
Congress.
Minted at San Francisco, Denver and
Philadelphia the coins will be placed
in circulation through the regular
channels of the Federal Reserve Banks,
and will appear simultaneously in all
parts of the country.

River Exceeds
High Water
Mark of 1881
COLUMBIA NOW AT ELEVATION OF
51S.6 FEET; HIGHER WATER
EXPECTED

Its regular flow augmented by the
flood waters of the Spokane river and
other large tributaries, the old Col
umba is booming along at a great
rate and is already at the flood stage.
According to the measuring gauge
at the Coyote pumping plant this.
Thursday morning, the reading was
518.6 feet, which is 2 of a foot higher
than the peak of last year. which was
reached on June IT,
Sam Allard in charge of the pump
ing plant, says that the rise in the
river has averaged about 6 of a foot
every "a hours for the last two weeks.
The peak of high water in the Col
umbia is reached in ordinary years be-
tween June Is and 20. That is still
more than a month away and if the
present daily increase in the flow or
any where near it, is maintained UNI
til the peak of ordinary years, the
river will be out of all bounds. Ac-
cording to reports there is still lots
of snow in the higher levels of the
watershed and the peak of the high
water will be governed largely by how
fast this snow melts.
There has been some trash running
in the river for a few days but up
until this morning there was little
good wood. Some square timbers that
were caught along the shore here
looked like they were parts of bridges
that had evidently been washed out.
