A Washington dispatch says: The
cabinet makers are still at il as viRor-
ously as ever, but they keep going
around In circle. They put Bayari.
or Garland, or Lamar, OF Thurman. in
cabinet hole, leave him n few days.
and then come around to him again,
ind him there, and proclaim IL as some
Thing new and important. Then, for
getting their own work, they tell the
public that, aftsr all. nobcdy-not even
Gov. Cleveland-as yet, knows anything
about who will actually lie selected.
But, unmlndful of this sage assurance,
they again start around the fascinating
circle. and there Is very little difference

tors and representatives.

The transmission of sounds along the Grand Canon of the Colorado has for years been matter of surprise to the prospectors and miners that ire. quent at intervals the isolated sections Since the advent of the A. x P. R. R. to the Colorado river, there is a basis upon which to form some idea of how far sounds are transmitted be- tween the walls of the chasm. A train of cars crossing the bridge al The Needles can be plainly heard on quiet day at Cottonwood Island, a distance of eighty-four miles. The fife and drum at Fort Mohave is dis. tinctly heard at Bulls Head, a dis tance of eighty miles. The report oi the sunrise gun at Fort Mohave can be heard at Eldorado Canon, a dis tance of ninety-six miles. It is sad q man standing at the mouth of Cat aract Canon, where it empties into Big Colorado, at one time shoutt d forth the qery, "What is a mormon?" and from the other end of the Canon, distance of one hundred and foriy miles. came confusion of human voices, from which enough was intel, ligible to indicate that in this remote quarter, as well as other portions 0, our Territory, the population was rather mixed element.

 ENLARGED.

With this issue the CHAMPION is in. creased in size to seven column pa per; in which form it will hereafter appear, until the increase of patron age and the demands of our section of country shall require still further enlargement. In this we have been actuated by the flattering reception given us in our new location, and our steadily increasing patronage in for eign advertisements and subscriptions.
 With this connection it may be we'll for us to say that we will endeavor to make the CHAMPION the leading pa per of the A. X P. road as an adver- tising medium and as dispenser of the news of the day. Special atten- tion will be given to the local depart ment, not alone of our immediate surroundings, but of the various towns along the line of our great national highway from Albuquerque to The Needles.
 With this end in view our special correspondent will, in a few days, begin tour of the towns along the A. & F., and to all points in the in- terior that are practically within our reach. We bespeak for our represen- tative a cordial welcome from all who have desire to publish to the world the resources and attractions of their immediate section. A. E. FAY.

In northern Arizona, near the Al. lantic x Pacific road, the first stock ranch one strikes west of the New Mexican line, is Ed. Stanley's, form. erly a government scout, now located at Fort Apache, with about 2ooo Shorthorn grades or Mexicans. West of there is the reservation of the Mo quis Pueblo Indians, which is given up to small four footed stock. West yet, across the Rio Colorado Chiqui- ta (chee- kee-tah, little Colorado red river. are nearly all Mormans, who nave some splendid cattle. The Mo- gollon plateau, little west, is too high and cold for stock, as snow lies there till May and June. Frisco and the end of Verde are overrun with sheep from California. For 100 miles down the Verde more or less range stock is raised. West of the Agua Eric are great many small stockmen, the largest herd in there being prob ably 300 head.-Pony Bill, in North western Live Stock Journal.
 The correspondent of the North western Live Stock Journal makes a few errors that mars the worth of his article as a matter of statistics or Tn. formation.
 Ed. Stanley does not live in north Arizona, but in the east center DOT, tion of the Territory. He is not a stock man of any note or prominence. His neighbors, Smith & Carson, own in his immediate vicinity 5000 head of cattle, and are prominent stock men and recognized as such.
 The Moquis reservation is north of Mir. Stanley's place, not west, as sta, ted. The Moqui plateau. instead of being "too high and cold," is one ol the very best ranges in the southwest, and for nine months of the year Is utilized by the Daggs Bros., the Illus. tons, and many others. The Frisco, which lies still higher than the Mo gollon plateau, is not overrun, though we have some ranges with 10. 900 head of sh.ep and cattle ranges with 4,oco head. Fifteen thousand head of sheep were sold from this section last spring and were driven to Texas. There are few sheep but many cattle on the Verde, and we have not space for the names of all the ranchmen west ol the Agua Eric that own more than 300 head of stock. With these few exceptions correspondent is correct. Yet it would seem that his signature is all right, for he is a "Pony" indeed upon statistics from this section.

Road Taxes and Road Overseers


 As many questions have been asked recently relative to individual road taxes and overseers of roads in this Territory, we have caused the matter to be investigated by MT. Sanford, our attorney, of this place, who gives us the following abstract of the law:
 All roads which have been located by the Board of Supervisors, and all roads in public use which have been recorded as public highways or which may be recorded by authority of said board, are public roads.
 It is the duty of said board to di. vide the county into road districts and annually before the first Monda, in March to appoint an overse@r for each district, and the county recorder shall furnish to such overseer a de. scription of the boundaries of his dis. trict. The road overseer gives bond in the sum to be named by said board for the faithful discharge of his duties, The oyerseer IS authorized to keer the roads clear from obitructions, in good repair, and cause banks to be graded, bridges and causeways to be constructed when necessary, to re, new the same when destroyed, and tc open new roads when ordered by said board.
 Every male resident over twenty. one and under fifty years of age, is required either in person or by sub stitute, to perform two days labor on the road at any time required by the ouerseer, or pay to him the sum oi two dollars for the benefit of the road, of that district, for which a receipt shall be given by the overseer.
 The overseer shall give three days notice in writing to each person resi-. dent of that district subject to road tax to appear on a certain day anc hour and place in the district. Fol failures to appear or appearing at al fail to perform the work required O him, such person shall be declared de linquent and the overseer may pro ceed to levy upon the property of sucl person and sell the same upon five days notice posted in three public places, for which the overseer shal receive in addition ten dollars a, costs.
 This one days work or money paic therefor is separate and distinct iron the poll tax, which is an additiona two dollars to be paid by each inhab itant over the age of twenty-one anc under sixty, seven eighthS of which is paid to the county treasurer fo a road fund to be disbursed by saic board in the construction and repair of public roads, bridges and high ways in such manner as they may deem to the best interests of the coun ty, the other one eighth to be retain. ed by the collector for services ir collecting.
 The road overseer is separate of, flee from the road commissioner. His duties are different. His authority is from higher .ource. The. former obtains his powers from the statute.
