IF WE only knew what laws were enacted by the recent session of the legislature, it would be compara- lively easy to adjust our line of conduct to jibe with them. As it is, however, we may be guilty of "high treason," and liable to be sent to Coventry, all on account of our knowledge, or no knowledge of the existing laws.

Another Outrageous Bill.


 a bill then pending before the legis- lature, to regulate quarantine, and the admission ofcattle into the state which bill was regarded with much anxiety by cattle men and con sumers ill this section, 1t being con sidered as a move on the part oi northern cattle men to keep out cattle from the territories and thus control the southern market. The bill was approved by the governor on the 18th inst. and copy of it has reached this office.
 The bill empowers the state board of health to declare quarantine against the entry of domestic ami mals from any state or territory, or any foreign port or country, in which courageous or infections dis eases are known to exist. Ami mals coming into the state from such districts must be required to enter the state at such points only as the state board of health may by proclamation determine, and designate where they must be unloaded for inspection. Owners of cattle coming into the state from localities quarantined against have to furnish very complete evidence that such animals are free from dis eases, in shape of afidavits from owners, county clerks, persons in charge and so forth.
 Section 10 of the bill appears to be special and vindictive thrust at the Arizona cattle supply of Cal ifornia. It reads as follows:
 "No cattle shall enter this state from Texas, New Mexico, Arizona or Mexico for grazing purposes dur ing the months of March, April, May, June, July, August, Sep tember, October and November in each year."
 It will be noticed that no mention is made of quarantining in this sec tion. It simply and despotically prohibits the importation of cattle from Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico for grazing purposes during nine months of the year. It is a very common practice for Arizona cattle, raised on the open ranges, to be brought to Southern Califor- to be fattened on alfalfa. This is now prohibited during nine months of the year, and we must buy north ern cattle. As to diseases, in point of fact, northern cattle are suffer ing far more from diseases just now than are those of Arizona and New Mexico. Anthrax has been epidem- ic in some sections of Central Cali fornia.
 The bill is so manifestly framed in the interest of Northern Califor mia cattlemen that it is remarkable that it could have passed even the late venal legislature. It is difficult to see what recourse our people have, except to carefully cherish names of the members of the legis- lature, in case they should ever have the temerity to offer them selves for office again.-L.

J honest obligations.
 A RECENT issue of the Hoof and Horn contains a very sensible artl- cle on "reminiscences of Yavapai. However, if memory serves me cor rectly, the Hoof and Horn makes a few mistakes in its records. Fort Whipple, at Chino Valley, was first located in December, 1863, by Maj. Willis, Captain Hargrave and Capt. Benson; Lieuts. Taylor, Pomeroy and Nelson. All these officers be- longed to the First California Vol unteer Infantry. If Dr. Geo. D. Kendall was a Captain then and there, what company did he com mand? Only two companies of the California volunteers took part in the location of Fort Whipple, viz |: F and c, commanded respectively by Captains Benson and Hargrave Capt. Pishan, with a detachment of his company of the First Califor- mia volunteer cavalry, also took part in the establishment of the fort, but this detachment did not remain long, returning to New Mex ico. Brig. Gen. James H. Carleton, at that time, commanded the dis trict of New Mexico, and it was pursuant to his orders, this expedi- ton came to the Black Forest.
 The Hoof and Horn says "the records show that Jerome B. Cal kins was the first sheriff of Yava- pal county, appointed by Governor Goodwin, on the 21st day of De- cember, 1864. This is an error. Van c. Smith, was the first sheriff by appointment. Gov. Goodwin issued his proclamation on the 26th day of May, 1864, calling an cleo ton for July 18th, 1864, at which election Jerome B. Calkins was made sheriff, who immediately af- ter qualifying, appointed John P. Burke his under-sherifP At this first general election held in Ari- zona, there were three or four can didates for delegate to Congress, viz: Charles D. Posten, Dr. Loeb, Bill Bradshaw, and possibly one other whose name I now fail to re- member Charles D. Posten was the choice of the electors.
 The gubernatorial party arrived at Fort Whipple (Chino Valley in February, 1864, and the first issue of the Arizona Miner, made it's bow to the public in the month of March of same year. The writer hereof was one of the engineers of the Willis expedition; in other words, he engineered six yoke of bulls, with a five thousand pound attacn- ment.
 H. w. Fleury, Father Fleury," did not come in 1863, but came with the gubernatorial party, which as I said above, did not arrive until February, 1864. The house he now lives in was built by Loren Jenks.
 The citizens of the '63 outfit, ex- elusive of the military expedition, were Tom Barnum, Louis St. James, Jim Shelby, Frank Shaffer, Frank Riggs, Billy Foster, w. c. Collier, Rufe Harrington, Ed G. Peck, Geo. Goodhue, Poker" Johnson, John Justus, "Sugar-foot Jack" " and two Dutchmen. AS this IS not interest ing to the tenderfeet and but few of these of ye olden time, are left this side of the river, I will cut it short.

THE sILvERTON TARCE.
The Prosecution of DIR. Moser Was But
Persecution.

The Prosecution of Dr. MOser Was But
Persecution.
United States commissioner Wal
ton yesterday evening concluded
taking testimony in the charges
brought by Silverton parties against
eX-postmaster j. f. Moser The evil
dence was carefully weighed in the
scales Of justice, and what promised
to be a prosecution terminated in a
farce, which partakes more of the
persecution.
One after another the witnesses
forthe prosecution were placed upon
the stand, only to vent personal
spleen or relate much less criminat-
ing stories than they had told before
the case was brought to trial.
w. b. Cox was the first witness
called. He knew nothing of the
matter except rs his wife had told
him.
Mrs. NJ. j. Cox was the next wit.
ness. 1t was her letter she claims
DIR. Moser opened in her presence
and read to satisfy himself that she
was whom she represented herself
to be. AS the letter was addressed
to Mrs. b. Cox, she could not say it
was for her.
Several other witnesses were call
ed, but knew little or nothing of the
matter Thus closed the trial, and
Judge Walton rendered a clear and
intelligent decision, discharging the
accused.

ARBoR DAY OBSERVANCE.
The schools of the State WIN Plant
Trees on April 18th.


In compliance with the require
ments of the new law creating
state arbor day and in response to
numerous requests from school Of
ficers and teachers, a general circu-
lar letter has been issued by direc-
ton of the state board Of education.
This circular states that the object
of the law is to encourage tree plant
ing by school children, and thus
educate them to care for the materi-
al prosperity of the country and
/ foster the growth of trees. The
children should be encouraged by
the parents, school officers and
teachers, in every district, to beauti-
fly the school premises and care for
the school property. In every yard
there should be system and regulari-
ty IN arranging the trees, and, if
this practice is continued, in a very
few years every hDol yard i'm the
state will have its pleasant, shady
bower, where the children can find
shelter from the scorching sun dur
ing the summer months, and when
their taste for the beautiful i'm nature
will find some qualification among
the trees, shrubs and flowers.
Each child should be taught that
he has a special interest in the tree
he plants; that tits his and that upon
HIM devolves the responsibility of.
caring for and cultivating it i'm com
ing years. The child should be en-
couraged to realize that i'm planting
a tree he not only benefits himself,
but coming generations may rest
beneath its welcome shade and bless
the hand that planted it.
Superintendent McElroy suggests
that a program should be arranged
by the teacher. This program
should consist of songs and literary
exercises relative to the occasion |
and calculated to impress the minds
and hearts of the children with feel
ings of love and veneration for the
trees themselves, and doubly en-
dear them by association with the |
history of some good and great ones
Of our country. This may be ac-
complished by naming the trees,
and investing them singly or in
groups, with thoughts of the per-
of which they are to be
living embems.

Something to Sell Each Week.

\ correspondent writes some
truths that are applicable to Oregon.
He says: "There is great advantage
to the farmer in having to sell all
the year round. Most farmers keep
retail account at the country store,
and many of them, doubtless, are
often surprised how rapidly bill
will run up, especially if is all buy
and no sell on their part. The way
to keep the store bill down is to
have something to sell about every
time you 90 to the shop. The farm
er should buy by barter almost en-
tirely. The little crops and resources
of the farm should be so diversified
that there may be something to sell
each week, enough at least to pur-
chase the little necessaries of family
consumption. There should at least
be butter, honey, eggs, vegetables,
fruit, poultry, etc. If II farm does
not furnish things of this sort to
trade for supplies, the farmer is not
doing as we'll as he should. a good
flock of poultry Is often great help.
With this there may AT least be eggs
60 sell all the time. \ few hives of
bees often go a great way in buying
necessaries, and cost very little.
Vegetables and fruits are, some of
them, always in season. Dried fruits,
vinegar butter and lard are always
in demand, and, 10y good manage
ment, the farmer can make these |
small items supply the family wants .
from the store, Then he knows /
what he is doing, and the product of
his staple crops can be used for inn
provement or TO purchase good /.
