Some time ago our Legislature ap. pointed special committee to investi gate the work of the Board of Control especially during the time Col. M. H McCord was the citizen member of it The Committee worked long and ar. duously and finally turned in lengthy report to the jointlegislature this week The report completely vindicates Col McCord and is great personal triumph for him. The charges never had any foundation in fact, but were simply made by some interruptions politicians for the sole purpose of lnjuring Col. Mo- Cords candidacy for Governor. The Democratic legislature refused to be a party to such work and summarily dis missed the so-called charges, after hav- ing ascertained to it's satisfaction that they were wholly false.-Mesa Free Press.

Brand Advertising
Southwestern Stockman 1


 It has been brought to our attention this week that the new law just passed with reference to branding, or the use of brnds, makes it necessary, on the
 part of the cattleman, to have their
 brands more widely known than at present, or they run a risk of having 1 calves branded in the wrong iron, and
 which they could not claim, according
 to the law
 l The law says & man shall have but one brand to be kept up. That is, all young cattle shall be branded in the iron he mas recorded as his ranch brand regardless of what the brand on the mother of the calf may be, with the one exception mentioned.
 This being the case, and if it is the desire to strictly follow the law in the premises. then it will be plain to all that the miscellaneous branding ofcal- yes, by putting the iron of the mother on the calf. regardless of whether it is right or wrong, will have to be met Ill COAhS "aJ dAAN IAlO OiiS NaJ OuO OA SAO difficulty IS to make the brands more widely known, and instruct the boys on the range to follow the instructions in the advertisement in branding such increase. It is always stated that ail increase of certain brands are to be put in a certain iron. and if this instruction gwen in this way is more generally re- garded, then it will not happen so ire quently that calves are branded with a brand under which the owner could not legally claim them. Unless this is clearly understood in the beginning, and an organized effort made to keep to minimum the eindiscriminate brand ing. then complications will result. We do not know what the ruling of the board may bein the premises, but 1t does occur to us that if those who have not been in the habit of advertising thelr brands will begin doing so now, and have them wor6ed so as to cover this point, it will be the easiest way around the matter. and the gain in other ways will more than com pensate them for the small outlay.

Judging from the nature of inquiries
 sent out by the authorities of the Globe railroad, the company are evidently
 considering the feasibility of ofextendlng thelr lines beyond Globe to WinsIow or some other point on the Atlantic and Pacific. A north and south road through that section would open up a vast min- eral and timber belt and ought to prove paying proposition. We would be glad to see the road extended. A north and south road through that vir- gin district would give a grand impetus to the mineral and agricultural develop ment of eastern Arizona.-Range News.

MOrmOnism Expounded.

1 Gazette.
 | Last night to large and deeply in.
 terested audience at the opera house
 Heber J. Grant and John Henry Smith | apostles in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. expounded the doctrines and practices of their church. Quite large contingent come down
 from Mesa, including the Mormon choir, which rendered some most excellent vocal music. The meeting was conduct ed by Councilman flakes, and several prominent Mormons were on the stage, including four members of the legisla- ture. MT. Grant, who IS young look ing man of about 35, spoke first. and in very eloquent and convincing man. ner gave the origin and history of his church. He was followed by Mir. Smith, whose personal appearance is decided ly patriarchal. who spoke on the divine mission of Josph Smith. His style of oTatory, though entirely different from MT. Grants, proved to be equally cap tivating for it was a quarter past ten when Representative George W. Skin- ner delivered the final benedictio The remarks of both gentlemen were entire- ly free from assaults on other churches or their members. MT. Smith frequent lv used the term "the mother church" !" when referring to the Catholic church, and spoke of his "brethren in Christ" of the Protestant churches Altogether 1t was an entertaining and instructive exposition, and undoubtedly was a re- velation to many of the large audience as to what the Mormon church actually teaches.

Ryan elevator, situated on the Erie
canal, was destroyed by fire this morn
ing. The Manning malt house caught
fire from the flying sparks, but was
saved with but little damage. Two
schooners were tied up alongside the

rigging caught fire, but the fire tug pre-
vented the flames from spreading to the
bulls. At the foot of the burned eleva-
tor lay transfer floater. The walls of
the elevator fell on it and it was burned
to the waters edge. 1t was valued at
about 1888 900. The elevator was valued
at $50 900. The grain in the building,
valued at IS, 900. was also lost. The to-
tai loss is estimated at $50, 900.

his great dane, "Yarrum," last evening.
The big brute, who had lately shown
himself to be possessed of a vicious dis
position, attacked calf near the front
gate and Selling it by the neck, threw
it on the ground. The dog paid no at
tention to the blows showered upon
him by his master for several minutes
At last, however, he released the calf
and sprang with growl at Fitzsim
mons, who, grabbing a pitchfork. stuck
the tines into Yarrum's body and beat
him over the head with it. The dog
fought back but was finally forced into
the yard and left to lick his wounds and
mediate upon the folly of fighting
prize fighters.

War Fever SubsIding.

ATHENS, March 1.-The war fever
is slowly subsiding. Reserves continue
to arrive from the interior and the en-
thusiasm still prevails, bat the belief
that actual warfare has been averted is
becoming popular. The government
has informed France and Great Britain
that Greece is willing to place the
Greek troops in Crete under the direc-
ton of the powers and leave the Gre
tan Chamber of Deputies to pronounce
in favor of autonomy or union with
Greece, as that body may elect.
LONDON, Mar. 1.-THE plans of the
powers for blockading the coast OF
Greece are still incomplete and the
methods to be pursued unknown. The
English, French and Italian war Offices
decline to discuss the situation in its
present phase.
ATHENS, Mar. 1.-THE situation
here is improving. The city is quiet

ing nature. The government denies
the report that the military authorities
are forming foreign legion.

tians took refuge in Austria" The
King also said that the Greek troops
would remain in Crete and protect
Greeks and Turks alike. His Majesty
complained of the conduct OF Sir A.
Biliotti, the British consul at Canea in
assisting the Turks. Though Biliotti
was British consul he said, he was q
Levantine and more Turkish than even
the Sultan himself.

A DISPATCH from Canea, dated the
9 h inst, and it, too, to a lingo newspa
per in this country, says:
"a large number of Moslem women
and children are confined in the hos
pital here, suffering from mutilation in
hcted upon them by Christians. News
from the interior shows that massacres
of Moelems by Christians are of almost
hourly occurrence. Out of 167 Mos
lens in the village Of Cykia, only one
person, child, escaped slaughter"
As the GAZETTE has heretofore
stated, the war in Crete is religious,
not a race, war. A large majority Of
the people of that island arc Greeks,
half of whom are of the Moslem faith,
and it is against them, and the ligiti-
mate government of the island which
is also OF their religious faith, that the
latter half are fighting. That the christi
anity OF the insurgents is both inteili-
gent and sincere, is of course demon
strated, to the ill-informed and prelu-
diced, by such facts as are narrated in
tho above quoted dispatch.
