Prof. Moore, principal of the St. Johns public school, observed arbor day in a handsome manner. The school chil- dren were formed in line and marched to his nursery, where each one was pre- sented with peach tree and weeping willow. When it is known that there were one hundred and tyenty-two chil- dren in the procession, it will be seen that this was quite a large donation from Mir. Moore. We are informed the trees were all planted, and should they live, it will be one step in the way of improv- ing the appearance of St. Johns, which is much needed. There is no reason why our streets should not be lined with shade trees; the soil and climate is adapted to their rapid growth, and if it were done, it would only be a few years, until we would have one of the prettiest towns in Arizona. Let the people com- mence this spring to plant out shade trees, by so doing they will not only add to the comfort and beauty of their prop erty and homes, but would materially enhance t;.eir value.

A CARD.

Three years occupancy of the position of Register of the United States Land Office at Prescott, Arizona, has enabled me to acquire considerable familiarity with the practical workings of the Uni ted States Land laws. Knowing that there are a great many delayed patents to public lands, possibly other complica- tions affecting titles and intending to visit Washington in April, will be glad to serve professionally, any parties de- string it in the United States General Land Office at Washington, while there.

Judge Pratt, of the Esquidillas, swore out a warrant for the arrest of two young men (Carr and Brown) on a charge of killing one of his steers. The ears were cut from the carcass and destroyed. The hair being long, the brand was not dis cernible, and it is said they believed it was a maverick, or at least only ear marked. Brown was arrested by Under Sheriff dcDonald and -tHrned-leose on his own recognizance, as it was shown that he was not Intentionally guilty of a felony, but was told by Carr that it was q maverick, and that they had right to kill it. Deputy Sheriff Hart left last Friday morning for Flagstaff in pursuit of Carr who, it was understood was in the employ of Daggs Brothers, of that place.

 Mir. G. w. Lang, who recently drove 8
 herd of cattle from Arizona, across the Colorado desert, to Los Angeles county, California, is again in the Territory, and it is stated, will make another drive. He
 was very successful with the first drive, food plenty of food and water along the route, and the cattle arrived at their des- tination in good order. MT. Lang has conclusively demonstrated that cattle can now be driven across the desert with no greater expense or loss than was in- cured in driving them in the days be- fore we had ailroads.-Wilcox Stock man.
 Judge Sloan, at Tucson the other day, denied citizenship to native of Mexico who is unab:e to :ead and write the Eng fish language. The applicant stated, through an interp-ete", that he was "wen disposed towards the United States and the laws of the country" but the Judge gave it as his opln.on that be- fore man could be "well disposed to- wards the United States it is necessary for him to be able to read it's Constitu- tion, as it would be impo: s:0le for him to be we'll disposed towards a govern ment the laws of which he knew noth- ing" An intelligent, conservative pub lie sentimen: will endorse the Judges action In this matter.-Stockman
 A letter received from Delegate Mark A. Smith by Hon. P R. Brady, of this place, states that in spite of his deter mined opposition he very much fears the bill establishing a court for the de- termination of p; ivate land grants will become law. The bill is undoubtedly a good one for the settlement of genuine grants, but the real danger lies in it's availa abilitv by the claimants of such al- legged grants as the Peralta i, aud to cast a cloud upon titles and then levy black mail, and it is upon this ground alone that the people of this valley oppose it. The Peralta fraud is dead in the general land office, but its corpse can be easily galvanized into most lively spook in land court. We believe this measure is being engineered principally by infuen- tial persons who are interested in the Peralta scheme, and if our delegate can succeed in exempting Arizona from it's provisions, we feel firmly convinced that the bill will not be pushed to a final pas sage.-Florence Enterprise.

Sheriff Creaghe left last Thursday morning for New Mexico, armed with acquisitions for some fugitives from jus tice from this Territory. Apache is so close to the line of our sister Territory that it only takes few hours for crimi- nals to eress the line. Then there is a great deal of red tape to be gone through with in order to bring them back, which is very vexat.ous and annoying to our officers, and is often the means of de- feating justice entirely, If the criminal has two or three men in this county for his friends, who Eili take enough inter- est in his case to write the Governor that it is political persecution, nine chances out of ten requisition when applied for will be denied, notwithstanding the in- dictment may have been found by g grand jury composed of Republicans and Democrats, Mormons and Mexicans, and that the application is supported by a bench warrant from the District Court. Such, however, is the way of the Repub- lican party, it will shield and protect it's members, right or wrong.

Our native population have been seized with a dancing mania. They gave a bailie on Saturday night, and were "trip ping the light fantastic" at sun up Sun day morning. This not satisfying t hem there was another on Sunday night, which was kept up until the "wee sma' hours" If there is anything which they enjoy, it is dancing, and they never miss an opportunity to satisfy their pre- affection for this harmless and exhili- rating amusement.

There will be meeting of such stock men as intend running mess wagons for the spring round-ups in Holbrook, on Monday, March 3Ist, 1890. The meet ing is called for the purpose of so ar ranging the work that there will be no lost time between the ending of work on one range and its commencement on another. Such an arrangement would not only be matter of economy to the owners of cattle, but would expedite the work and do it more thoroughly than has been done in the past, when there was neither system or cooperation.

The annual statement of The Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of New

made by this institution during twelve
months. The record made by the
Mutual eclipses its own best efforts,
and naturally exceeds that of any
other financial institution in the
world. The new business written
amounted to $l5l ,602, 4S3.S7, an in
crease of $4S, 1885. Z22.05 over the new
risks assumed in 1888, and gain of
$50, IA ,O15 over the business of 1887
showing a continuous and phenomen-
al advance. The assets of the Mutual
Life now aggregate $l36, 4Ol 1928 OF,
indicating gain for the year of $l0,-
3l9, 174.46. The Company has now
an outstanding insurance account
amounting to 1855, 949, 33 92. Its total
income from all sources is reported
at S31, 9,Ol9.62. 1t paid to its men,
bers during the year for death claims
and endOwments and other obliga-
tons SIS, 2O0.6O SO. Up to date the
Mutual had 1S2,310 policies in force,

army of policy-holders in any regular
Life Insurance Company in the world.
The surplus fund was in increased
