IT IS we'll for county officials to understand the funding act of ex- Gov. Wolhey which passed Con gress at its last session. According to that law, no county can call in warrants which has an indebtedness of over four per cent of its taxable property. In pursuance of this act the County Treasurer of Cochise (which can be seen from an extract from the Tombstone Prospector, to be found in another column, ] has been enjoined from paying any out standing warrants. Judge Sloan is sued the injunction, and argument will be heard at the next term of court for that county, It appears that almost every official act of Wolfey kas had the effect of pro
 ducing confusion and disaster to Arizona. There are some counties in the Territory which are, perhaps, just outside the limit of the Harri- son act. but which will be, in few weeks, way inside the four per cent limit. It may be that these coun- ties do not care to fund their out standing indebtedness, knowing that they will be able to take up all their paper in a short time and save the interest. But under this fund ing act no evidence of indebtedness can be issued after the first day of January, 1891. All liabilities must be met with the cash. County off, cials have no choice in the matter. They must pay cash for all bills pre- sented, and call no back warrants that they may have the money 10 do so. We hope the incoming leg islature will take hold of this fund ing measure of Gov. Wolfley's and wire it out of existence, as it was

Many of the Yuma Indians are very angry, from the fact, they say, that they were called in here by agent Rust, to receive rations. When they reached here from all parts of the country they found that there were no rations for them but that they had been called in to be counted. The compliments they pay Mr. Rust are far more expres- sive than elegant. It is by just such deceptions as this, if this is true, and no one doubts it, that many of the troubles with the In dians are caused. They call agent Rust "oId smoothly. Yuma Sen tinel.

County Treasurer McAllister post ed a notice in front of the Court House last Wednesday winch shook the incoming administration from the foundation up. He announced that he was ready to pay out-stand- ing general fund warrants issued during 1890, since March 1st. It did not take long for Allen English to get to Benson and take the next train for Tucson where he hunted up Judge Sloan and returned last night with a restraining order in his pocket, which was duly acted upon by the clerk of the district clerks office this morning, who fill ed out the necessary papers which were served by Sheriff Kelton as his first official act. The complaint as written by MT. English recites that all of the warrants issued since March last were in vlolation{of the Harrison act, which allows only evidences of indebtedness to four per cent limit on the taxable pro- perty in the county; that the "WOl- hey" funding act provided for the funding of the outstanding indebt- edness of the counties by the issu- ance of bonds and if the money now on hand which it was pro- posed to pay out for these warrants some $26,000 were paid-their would be no money with which to run the county during the ensuing year, as the "Wolfey" act prohibit ed the issuance of evidences of in- debtednesS after Jan. 1st, 1891, af- ter which time county affairs must be run on cash basis. Judge Sloan issued the order and at the next term of court arguments will be heard upon the point of making the injunction permanent.
 There are outstanding warrants against the general fund of $36,- O5G,49 All of these warrants bear ten per cent interest per annum, but it is possible nothing will be done for the relief of the holders of them until the legislature meets when a funding act can be passed which will cover these Warrants.-Pros- pectOr.

The repairs to the Florence canal having been all completed, water has been turned in and large flow is now going into the storage reser- vior between this place and the rail road. Since the copious summer rains, while the river maintained a good flow of water, the canal has contained water a few weeks and had it not been for timely showers the farmers depending upon that supply of water would have again suffered losses. There is a general feeling among the settlers that the management of this enterprise Is not characterized by the energy and good judgment it deserves.-Flor- ence Enterprise.

Men who have given the subject much study, say that twenty-seven acres of wild grass land will keep an animal in good condition for a year. Taking this as a basis, Ari- zona contains sufficient pasture land to maintain 1 ,460,O00 head of fat cattle. The disastrous storms and cyclones which traverse Dako- ta, Nebraska, and nearly all other countries, are rapidly compelling cattlemen from these sectiQns 10 abandon their business or to move on to Arizona and New Mexico.

The Apaches who killed the two Americans in Cochise county, a few days ago are reported by the Mcxi- can Gendarmarmeria to be in the Sierra Azul, near Imuris, in Sonora. Only six have been seen so far. The Mexican troops are after them with good prospects of making "good Indians" of them before long. While no murders have been com mitted by them as far as reported, they are killing cattle and stealing horses. General Schofeld will do well to return us some of the troops he robbed us of some weeks ago, to protect life and property here and in our sister state Sonora, where we value each as highly as he values those in Dakota. - No gales Record.

To offset this indebtedness, the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com pany owes back taxes, which has been comprised at something over $65,000, and which will be paid within the next sixty or ninety days or as soon as the order is made by the Supreme Court of the Territory dismissing the suits now pending against that Company for it's taxes. This sum will more than liquidate all the floating debt of the county, and will leave a surplus in the Treasury, outside of the delinquent taxes yet to be collected on the as sessment of 1890, which amounts, so we are informed. to $2j LOCO cr $30,000. These figures show that in a short time Apache county will be able to redeem all her floating paper, and meet her obligations with cash, as fast as audited by the Board of Supervisors. If the Rail- road Company lives up to the terms of its compromise, we can see no reason why the rate of taxatian for 1892 cannot be still further reduced.
