SAYS the National Democrat: It begins to look as if there would be an extra session of the Fifty-second Congress. There remain only forty four working days of the present Congress, and not one of the appro- priation bills has yet passed the Senate. The question of an extra session is wholly in the hands of the Republicans. The Democrats have no desire to force one, but they do not fear 1t. If the Republicans choose to prevent an extra session they can do so, but unless they man. ifest such a purpose at once an ear lY meeting of the Fifty-second Con- gress will be unavoidable.
The St. Johns herald., 1891-01-22

A GREAT many of the Territorial papers are in favor of the present Legislature raising the per diem of the Boards of Supervisors to $10. But they want the law governing them little more stringent. For instance, the number of days in which they shall remain in session should be limited, and days ses- sion should consist of six working hours. The HERALD is of the opin- ion that the pay of Supervisors is too small for the labor they perform and the "cussing" they are sure to receive, if they do their duty.

The Western Cattle Census.

A part of the unfinished work of the census is the enumeration of the cattle on the ranges of the West. This work was not completed, but has progressed sufficiently to de- that there has been quite a fall-off in totals in the last few years. The reports submitted by the department of agriculture have been somewhat unsatisfactory, as was to be expected when the sources of information were taken into con- The census, however, the correctness of the general belief that range cattle have been largely decreasing in numbers. Just what the final figures will show in the way of reduction of totals cannot now be stated, but it Is in lIne with the opinion which has prevailed among the cattiemen for some time past.-National Stock man and Farmer.

Arizona Statistics.

Arizona has an area of 113.000 square miles. Population 59,691 :; total property $28,050,234, but this is not over one half the valuation. The average rate of taxation is $2.- 93 on the $1O0; the total territorial, 7, county, municipal and school debt amounts to 8, ,688,7S. The rail- road mileage is 1903 miles; there are 701 miles of irrigation canals in the territory, and 205,000 acres of land irrigated. The arabic land which is practically irrigable amounts to 5,550,OO0. There were 100000 head of cattle shipped from the territory in 1889 and the first of 1890. The output of gold, sil- yer and copper mined in '89 amounted to $l,51O,343.2O. The pine forests of the San Francisco mountains cover 1,75O,O0O acres. The value of school property is $280,000; the expenditures for school amount to S143,00O, number of children between 6 and IS years of age is 10.7O0, and of those 1000 are enrolled in 190 public schools. The above has been mostly taken from the report of the Secretary of the territory, and may be accepted as sreliable.-Enterprise.

Call for Forestry Convention.
DENVER, Col, Jan. 10th, 1891.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 10th, 1891.
 Realizing that the best interests of our country demands the pre- servation and extension of the na- tive forests, and the encouragement of forest tree culture and that our present laws, both state and na- tional, are inadequate to that end, and believing, further, that organ ized effort is required to effect need ed reforms in forest administration, a call is hereby made for a forestry convention, to be held at the Cham Der of Commerce in Denver, Colo rado, on Wednesday, January 21st, at 10 o'clock a. m, for the purpose of forming a permanent forestry association, and to devise such oth- CT measures in that connection as may seem requisite or expedient.
 Inasmuch as the agricultural and horticulture operations of this re- zion depend so largely upon sys- tems of irrigation, which, in turn, are nourished by the mountain for ests and streams, 1t is hoped this convention will be largely attended by those specially interested in these industries.
 This call should also strongly ap- peal to those who desire the pre- servation of wild game and fish :; the maintenance of our forests and streams is necessary for their pro- lection. All persons interested in the subject above named, whether residents of this state or otherwise, are earnestly invited to attend the proposed meeting.

AN effort will again be made in the legislature this winter to form a new county out of the northern DOT tions of Yavapai and Apache coun- ties. We think 1t poor policy to make new counties with as large a floating debt hanging over them as over our neighbors.-Mohave Coun- ty Miner.
 There may be some talk of di- viding Apache among persons out side the boundary of the county, but we can hear of no such talk in- side it's limits. We are certain that no property owner or tax payer in Apache county cares to leave 1t at the present time. Her financial affairs are in such a condition, and the prospects for them becoming better, are so fattering, that no one with any business qualifications has any desire or inclination to cast their lot with a new county.

The Range Cattle Business.

Last spring and summer the prophets were very numerous; it was easy to obtain exact informa- ton as to the cattle shortage in every state from Maine to Califor- mia, how the corner had been turned and proper reasons for increased prices,
 Though the hopes of the cattle man had so often proved delusive, and his feelings grown apathctic from repeated disappointments, the golden visions portrayed, carried him away and he thought the good time had surely come.
 Along in August, when the mar ket broke, the prophets decreased in number, the amateurs all retiring and only the toughest old profes Sionals were to be found willing to venture any opinion as to the fu- ture of the business. Even they had to fall back on the old formula every cowman knows it. After inquiring the number of calves branded, the prophet with an affec- tionate squeeze of the arm, says: "You're all right old man; just hang on to them and you'll come out on top" The cowman retires to reflect that the business of hang ing is a weary one, and that the top seems as far away as ever.
 We suppose this spring the pro- phets will be round to some extent, but not nearly so numerous as last year.
 For our part we think it a won derful thing that there was any market last year at all, when we con- slider that there were at least 500.- 900 more cattle marketed in Kansas City and Chicago in 1890 than in 1889.
 The supposed shortage has not come yet, In figuring on it, it must always be remembered that every time there is a little furry in the market, scores of cattlemen whose range is playing out, rush in stock cattle to close out their herds if possible.
 This is an argument often used to show that a shortage is coming possibly sound one in the mean time the cattleman, impatient of waiting for it, wants to know when he can cash in some of his chips.
 When we see buyers looking for she cattle on the ranges, we shall think the time has come.

Their Hands Full.

The Prescott Courier maps out a line of duty for the legislature about to convene. Here it is : "Ari- zonians expects good work from the legislature and we believe they will get it. We advise the members to organize both houses quickly, go to work, remedy the fee act; the pigeon holed "acts"; the election laws; road laws; poll tax laws ;. pass a railroad act; look into asy- lum and penitentiary matters ; provide for advertising in papers of the largest circulation; do some
 thing for exhibit at the Worlds Fair; memorabilia congress for more territory along the Colorado river; protect timber; fix water laws; abolish useless offices; pro- vide for taking steps towards State hood do something with the Wol- fley bill; lower interest rates on warrants, loans, etc."

Forgery.

Last week--Modoc Wind and Seward Mott, two Mohave Apache Indians, were arrested by deputy marshal Frank Porter at San Car los and taken before U. s. commits sioner Blake at Solomonville for examination, The defendants were charged with forging draft on the assistant treasurer of the United States at San Francisco for -125. Modoc Wind is clerk to Cap tain Bullis and a graduate of the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., and Stewart Mott is interpreter and was educated at the Indian school at San Carlos. It appeared in evi- dence that the forgery was made on blank draft, furnished by the Interior Department to Indian agents, and contain registered num- bers. The number of the check was S,303, and was dated Sept. 31st, 1890. Modoc Wind signed the name of Capt Bulls, acting agent, and did it so neatly that the forgery would not have been detec- ted had it not been that he gave September 31st instead of Septem- Der 30th, 1890. The draft was ta- ken by Dan R. Williamson, the In dian agents clerk, who sent it to A. R. Forbes, general manager at San Francisco of the Mutual Life insurance company, and by him it was presented to the assi stant US. treasury for payment, when it was first discovered that 1t was dated Sept. 31st, and payment refused. The draft was then returned to Capt Bullis for an explanation, when the forgery was discovered. The two Indians were held to an- swer before the U. s. grand jury in the sum of $l,000 each, Mr. Cal vert Wilson appeared for the gov ernment. Seward Mott returned the $125 to Williamson, taking the sum out of his last pay as interpreter of the agency.
 Modoc Wind was the private confidential clerk to Capt. Bullis, and was in the habit of making ont orders on the storekeeper for the Indians rations and clothiug Shrewdness can be perceived in the fact that the stub was removed from the book with the check. It also appears that ModOc Wind was in the habit of playing poker and drinking whisky, which would seem to indicate that he was rapidly as- similating the vices as we'll as the virtues of civilization.
 The case of George Scott, q col ored soldier of San Carlos, charged with giving liquor to an Indian, was also heard before commissions CT Blake and Scott was held to an- sWer.-Star.
