latest quotations place the price at

Wilfully cokkot is the opinion
the grand jury has of the reform
board of supervisors.
Thk attention of Governor AVolfley
is respectfully called to the opinion
the grand jury has of the honesty of
one of his appointees.

their report.
As rr took a least twelve of the
fourteen nwmters of the grand jury
fo agree upon a verdict in the crn-e of
the printing robbery, and as that body
was "composed of good and represen
tative men of the county," the censure
delivered will certainly carry great
weight.
District Attorney Patterson
is proving himself an able and con
scientious officer. lie has no love for
jobbers in any condition or state,
and the taxpayers of Graham county
will not forget that the printing steal j
was consummated against his earn
est protest.
It I stir earnest bopc that the
mines in this district, as is so often the
case in others, will never rest under
a oloud through the operations of any
"tin horn" mining companies. They
are a drawback to any camp, and The
Clakiox will take pleasure in expos
ingthe business methods of any such
institutions should one of them ever
materialize in this section.
Tue Bulletin corrects .one circum
stance in connection with an article
published last week relating to the
printing steak It says that it did not
get paid for publishing the fence law.
But it falsifios when it says our
figures were wrong in comparing the
difference in prices which the board i
would hare been compelled to pay
had it been an advertisement. The
proof of this lies in the iignres pub
lished this week regarding the diflcr.
ence in publishing the proceedings of j
April 1st. The copy is verbatim. Any i
one with a tape line and a pencil can
verify our figures. j

not one word in defense of the print
ing steak A few lines of abuse for
the editor of this paper, but not one
word of truth in justification of the
iufamous robbery by the 'reform''
board of supervisors. A lot of soph
istry and appeals to prejudice against
individuals, but nt cause shown why
Cutter, lysart and Bailey should com
pel the taxpayers of Graham county
to subsidize the Bulletin so that those
three reformer's might have an "or
gan". Plenty of falsehoods and mis
representations, but no reason given
why the grand jury were wrong in
their opinion of the corruption plain
ly evident in the board of supervis
ors. As a matter of fact it is of no use
for the subsidized organ to try and
excuse the -wilful corruption" of the
supervisors by either personal attacks
on individuals or references to the
acts of preceding officers. Figures
speak for themselves. The present
board of supervisors were elected by
the people on the broad platform of
economy and reform. They have
right in the beginning put the tax
payers of this county to an unneces
sary and inexcusable expense of $1,500
per year on the printing contract.
No personal allusions will cause tax
payers to forget that fact; the board
betrayed the trust that was placed in
their bands by the people last Novem
ber. The circumstances have clearly
demonstrated that the county affairs
are in the hands of a ring who are
working solely for their own aggran
dizement and power. Xo sophistry
can disguise this fact, nor no reference
to alleged misdeeds of former ollieials
can excuse it. The taxpavcrs of the !
county arc intelligent, and will not al-j
low their eyes to uc winded iy such ;
methods as arc practiced by the hired 1
organ
ring.

pigeon-toed and round-shouldered ;
that we arc a social outcast mid oc-
casionally indulge in a course of wild
dissipation that sometimes keeps us
up as late as 12 o'clock at night ; that
we have even been known to draw to
a pair aud monkey with the festive
tiger; that we ruined our Sunday-go-to-meeting
trousers this week tihing
a portion of Thk Clakiox material
out of the muddy waters of the rag

services of a well-disposed aud char-

a slight deficiency in the western ex
tremity of our old pair ; that we owe
our hotel keeper a board bill and
other people several dollars besides,
and it is no sure thing that we would
not rob a stage or run away with
another man's wife. But all of this
has nothing to do with the fact that
the board of supervisors robbed the
county out of $1500 on the printing
contract.
"We ri'ULisii the official proceedings
of the board of supervisors of April
1st, copied verbatim from the Bulle
tin. The board will pay their organ
for 38 inches at 80 cents per inch,
amounting to $30.40. Had they ac
cepted The Clarion bid they would
have had to pay for 32 inches at 25
cents per inch, or $8, or precisely one
qnarter of what they paid their hired
organ. The difference is a subsidy
paid by the board of supervisors for
the support of the Valley Bulletin.
After reading the report of the
grand jury published in this issue,
Gorernor Wolfley ought to come to
the conclusion that in putting Cutter
on the Board of Prison Commissioners
he has made an excellent appointment
for Cutter.

was excellent, but owing to the short

the term. Among the most import

the probate court of the settlement of j

which was in favor of Ming. Judge
Barnes in rendering his decision com

The most important event of the
week was the rendition of the linal
report of the grand jury. Every one
was on tip toe of expectation as it
was supposed some action would be
taken in regard to the county print
ing steal, and all were anxious to
know the result. The friends of The
Clarion have no cause to complain
of the report, as, in the words of one
of them, it is a scorcher. I append the
names of the gentlemen composing the
grand inrv who so boldly sat down on

Adam AVelkcr. Malley, from the Ara
vapai. was the only one who could be
heard on the streets attempting to ex
cuse members of the board for their
action in this matter. He pleaded ig
norance and the baby act in their be
half but it Mould not work, and a
cloud in the shape of an indictment is
thrown over three rising statesmen,
Dysart, Cutter and Bailer. The
Clarion is vindicated, and if it does
not get the county printing, it will get
considerable satisfaction, which, in
the words of Jiin Smith, 'is a heap."
As the matter is now in the courts
it would be well to let it rest for the
present, but the Reformers, the advo
cates of "Honest Administration and
Low Taxes" must toe the mark or they
will get a scorchihg from

Gentlemen I can cheerfully and truth
fully say that S. S. S. is the greatest blood .
purifier on earth. In 1884 I contracted
blood poison. Physicians treated me with
no good results. I took a half dozen differ
ent kinds of blood medicines, but, without
receiving any permanent relief ! I was in
duced to try S. S. S. I began the first
bottle with the gravest doubts of success.
I had been so often deceived. But im
provement came, and I continued its use
until perfectly well. I have since married,
and have a healthy family. No trace of the
disease is seen. Swift's Specific did all
this for me, and I am grateful. Yours
truly. J. S. Strader.
