 Maricopa county pays bounty on lions scalps.
 Over 100, ,0OO sheep were shipped out of Arizona from September IA to Dc tober.
 Last Friday eleven cars of cattle were shipped by special train over the Southern Pacific from Phoenix to Los Angeles by w. D. Patterson.
 Arizona Gazette; S. P. Behan of Prescott, live stock agent of the Pres colt road, is in the city. He antici- pates large business in cattle ship ments at the proper stations.
 Arizona Gazette; w. k. Patterson ou Thursday shipped nine carloads Of cattle, three from Tempe, six from this city. He still remains in Phoe- nix with view of purchasing more.
 Tempe News: Next Thursday night Wolf Sachs will ship out six carloads of prime beef cattle to Los Angeles. Mir. Sachs who is one of the foremost cattlemen Of the territory, has on hand contracts that will require twelve carloads per month from now until late next spring.
 wlnslow Mail; The greater portion of sheep in Navajo county are being driven into Glla, Graham and Mari copa counties for the winter. This will make the collection and dis tribution of taxes somewhat com plicated.
 Range News: The entire band ol cattle, known formerly as the "Ffcd Hughes cattle and running in tho Rincons, were included in the cattle shipment to California made op Mon day, Mrs. Hughes having sold then recently. They numbered only sixtl odd in all

in exchange for transportation, and that the return passes are turned over tO scalpeIs for disposal. They also assert that, with the improved cars and characterization facilities now ef' fered, live stock shipments do not re- quire the attendance of shippers.
 Granting that the pass system has suffered abuse by the unscrupulous shippers, tbat does not justify retail atory action against the entire live stock industry. In the densely popula- ted east, where, in the majority Of cases, cattle are aboard the cars only few hours, they might by rare good fortune go through without suffering injury. With train load shipments from the west, which require several days for the trip, no sane man who knows anything of the business would deny the need of shippers.
 Should the pass system for shippers be abolished and stOckmen take the companies at their word the latter will be responsible for losses of stock in transit Such loses would unques- tionably be heavy, and when the rall- road authorities had paid few re- sultant claims they would probably become amenable to reason. There are few good things which are not liable to abuse. The proper course, when abuses are discovered, is to devise means of preventing their re- currence, and not to commit the blnn- der of injuriDg a valuable class of patrons for the sake of punishing a few interruptions representatives ol the craft.

The shortage of Cattle.

On the Pacific coast, says Tom Keogh in Salt Lake City Tribune, there is almost panic for enough cattle to supply the local market, aud indications are that before Christi fias the dressed beef men from this side of the mountains will be shipping cattle to California. Prices are ad- vancIng at an alarming rate, and even the high prices are not drawing out many cattle, for the simple reason that they are not in the country.
 Take it on the Pacific coast now, l know that around the Reno district in Nevada, whence California has drawn it's great supply for years, there are only 3,O0O or 4,00O head left, where there were nearly 30,0O0 last spring. The good prices in the east have induced eastern buyers to enter the district and buy, and the Califor- nians did not awake to the situation until they saw the cattle being shipped out.
 In the same way eastern buyers have cleaned out Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado aud most of Utah.
 For several years cattlemen have sparyed their heifers and fattened them and two year olds for market, until the ranges are absolutely bar ren. The great bulk of the cattle ol this country are now concentrated ir Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa aud Missouri where they can get corn. They will come to market next year and there will be no shortage then, for the average farmer thinks as long as he can see SO many cattle around hin that the world must be full of them

Return Passea for shIpners

Stcekman; The proposition ol the railroads to abolish the practice 0f issuing return passes to stock ship pers will undoubtedly elicit strong protest from the class affected The companies claim that the pass system
 has been abused by stockmen. They allege that the passes are sold or gfFen to persons who render their services

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowl-
edge so often expressed that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in
relieving pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the
urinary passages. 1t corrects ina
bility to hold urine and scalding
pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquors, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant nee
essity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists price fifty cents and
one dollar. For a sample bottle and
pamphlet, both sent free by mail,
