Que Of these was the wife Of the po-
liceman Elk Joseph, who is still un.
heard from, but supposed to be safe,
| lying out in the woods, somewhere,
awaiting a safe opportunity to get to

baker, residing, until recently, in Me-
ridisn, and who is severely wounded,
having been shot through the breast,
shoulder and forearm. He states that
ne was taken out of the bakery at
three o'clock last Tuesday morning
by one Frank Lindy, who accused
him Of having taken his pistol from
him on Monday previous. A crowd
Of men beat him with sticks as he
went toward the depot. Thinks he

badly bruised. These men subse-

Change in Tax Laws.

The late Legislature made some i'm
portant changes in the revenue laws,
a few of which we will give for those
concerned.
The assessor is obliged to commence
the assessment by March 1, and all
taxes must be paid prior to December
l of each year, or they will become de-
linquent. A Territorial tax of 10 cts.
on each 500 worth of property is to
be levied for school purposes, and the
Boards of Supervisors may levy not
exceeding 80 cts. for schools. The per
cent. of the latter levy is to be made on
the advice of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction as to the amount
necessary. Heretofore the tax for
county purposes could not exceed ST.
so cts. on the 500, but now it may
reach -.
The license law has been so amended
as to compel all pawn brokers to pay
a quarterly license of $50, and each
bowling alley S15. Billiard tables
not kept for the exclusive use of the
owner, must each be licensed at $40
per quarter. All dealers in liquors,
butchers meat, drugs and medicines,
or keepers of horses or carriages for
hire, and whose sales or business ex-
coed $4,000 per quarter, must pay a
quarterly license of $40; when less
than 5000, then IS per quarter.

Railroad Prospects.

The latest on this deeply interesting
subject, is this dispatch dated Wash
ington Feb 16: wheeler, Chairman
of the Committee on the Pacific Rail
roads, gave notice that he would on
Wednesday report back the Southern
Pacific Railroad Bill for Immediate
action"
With one or two querulous excep-
tons, the great press of the nation ia
vor this measure, and the large vote
by which the House decided, some
weeks ago, to consider it, are strong
reasons for expecting its final passage
at an early day. According to the
above dispatch, Wednesday of this
week was the day for immediate &C
tion," and the result thereof will not
likely reach Tucson before next We'd
nesday.
Should this measure become "a law,
the end of the Indian difficulties in
Arizona is not many years distant.
With at least one hundred millions Of
capital owned in the east and repre-
sented by property along the route,
there will not be much difficulty in
securing an effective hearing upon any
important subject properly demanding
attention by the national authorities.

concerning railroads, was written by
Chancellor Livingston, who had been
associated with his brother-in-law,
Robert Fulton, in the application OF
Steam to navigation:
.'ALBAN9, March /, 1911,
DEAR SIR: / did not till yesterday
receive yours of the 25th of February
wheresit mas loaered ON the road, am
at loss to say. | had before read OF
your verS ingenious proposition as to
the railway communications. 1 fear,
however, on mature reflection, that
they will be liable to serious objection,
and ultimately more expensive than a
canal. They must be double so as to
prevent the danger of the two such
heavy bodies, meeting. The walls OH
which they are placed must be at least
four feet below the surface and three
feet above, and must be cIamped with
iron, and even then would hardly sus-
tain so heavy weight as you propose
moving at the rate of four miles an
hour on wheels. AS TO wood, it
would not last a week. They must
be covered with iron, and that too,
very tIlick and strong. The means of
Stopping tIlcSc IAchff CtiiiioSCS r-n1sh-
ont great shock, and of preventing
them from running on each other
for there would be many running on
the road at once-wouId bevery diff
cult. In case of accidental stops or
necessary stops to take wood and wa
ter, etc., many accidents would hap
pen. The carriage of condensing wa
ter would be very troublesome. Up
on tine whole, I fear the expense
would be much greater than that of
canals, without being so convenient.

thought his oxen laid out strength
brushing the flies that might be used
pulling the plow, so he tied two bricks
to their tails. The plan worked well

gency. The oxen's tails are free now
and the old man has had his brains
soldered in with silver. ~ : , fs7is
