 Major R. Randall stepped down and out yesterday afternoon
 Internal Revenue Agent W. w. Colquitt, of Atlanta completed the work Of exam ming and checking up the books or Major Randall shortly before o'clock yestef- day He was well pleased with the showing made, and found that the books balanced to a nieety.
 At o'clock, after the business hour Of the day Mr. Bingham qualified and took the oath in Clerk Trimbe's office. He then repaired to the collectors office. where the formal transfer was of author ity was made. The transfer consisted simply of the receiptng for the contents Of the office by MT. Bingham.
 Major R. O. Randall retres with most servieeable record as collector. He has proven an efficient and paintaking officer.
 MT. Bingham is a young man of fine exec utive ability and is well known throughout the state.
 No changes have been announced and, for the present the office force will re- main as under Major Randall. Messrs. R. A. Randall, z. T. Booth and w. A. Hooper are the deputy collectors, besides whom there are eight field officers. At present two special men are employed in addition.
 Although the formal transfer was made at o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mr. Bing- ham actually became collector at midnight last night.
 pr. J. W. Hughes, the newly appointed postmaster, will not assume charge of the office today as was at first contemplated. He will take the reins about Wednesday.
 Dr. Hughes bond was sent to Washing ton, as stated before, and was readily ap proved. President Mckinley however, left Washington before the paper was present. ed to him. and it will have to be sent to Lake Champlain.
 Dr. Hughes stated yesterday afternoon that he had selected his assistant, but was not ready to divuge the name of the young man. He sa!d however, that he was an excellent republican, but that was expected.
 The assistant will not take charge with the doctor. MT. Cruikshank will be re- tained until the new postmaster becomes thoroughly acquainted with his duties.
 Messrs. V. Lee Covert and J. F. Glover rendered their resignations as assistants to the district attorney, to take effect today. District attorney Vaughan has not re- ceiVed from the department notification of the appointment mt of their successors. This is expected daily, however, and the new assistants will take charge as soon as their commissions arrive.

Instructions for the Territorial Recording
of Brands.
AS Provided for by Council Sub
stitute for House Bill No. 81, ar,
act of the Nineteenth Legislative
| Assembly.
By the passage of this act the old
system of brand recording by coun-
ty recorders was abolished and ter.
ritorial recording of brands was
made mandatory. By an express
provision of the law, county record
ert are prohibited from recording
brands not previously recorded in
the territorial brand book.
Until July J, 1897, all brands
NOV on record in the several coun.
ties will be entitled TO entry in the
territorial brand book; and the
Live Stock Sanitary Boar6, which
by the acL is constituted Board OF
Registration, will from each brand
so entered, issue, free of cost to she
owner, certificate attesting IT:
entry.
| To have yor brand, now or
county record, transferred to the
territorial brand book, apply in
person or by letter to the recorder
of the proper county, requesting q
certificate of your brand OF brands
and paying him the sum OFFS cents
| for each brand. In writing the re
corder, indicate the brands for
which certificates are desired and
Iif possible, the date of record.
Carefully examine each certifi
cate furnished by the recorder to
ascertain whether the brand and
marks are correctly shown, remem-
bering that an error in the delinea'
| ton OF the brand might at some
| time inyalidate your claim to cattle
| in that brand. If correct, sign the
certificate in the proper place and
forward il to the Live Stock SAM
tary Board at Phoenix, Arizona.

does not represent accurately your

The agricultural resources of the
Gila valley are both vari6 and ex'
tensive, comprising an area OF
arabic land of which there is al
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal productsare alfalfa,wheat,
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de
cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home OF
alfalfa, Of which from 4 tc 5 crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 5
to 8 tons per acre. 1t il not as
stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
terable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolifcly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white golIrd and
other large varieties Of corn yield
productivity, vegetables ire large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than IN the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill lands are
adapted to all of the products OF
the temporal zone, and many Of
the fruits of the semi tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with sur
prising rapidly. The pelches in
appearance and taste are Identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish.

BRAND RECORDING.

~ Is OF The greatest importance
o cattlemen Of Arizona that they
hould know Of the provisions Of
The late law withreleren,se to brand
recording, and after knowing the
provisions, proceed without uDnec-
ssary delay to comply with the
law.
The new law makes il compul.
sorry that all brands be recorded in
he Office of the Live Stock Sani-
airy Board instead Of with ti,e
county recorders of the several
counties, which county record
books have been done away with
IA SO far as they constitute pub
nc record.
Those who had their brands on
county record will request the
county recorder, either In person
or by letter, to make out certifi-
cate of such brands on blanks furn-
ished The recorders. For this they
pay y fee Of rs cents TO the record
or. The certificate is signed by
The owner of the brand or his
agent, as the case may be, after
which it is sent to the Office of the
secretary Of the Sanitary Board at
Phoenix. 1t should be understood
IN this connection that no brand or
mark shall be changed after the
certificate has been signed by the
recorder, and his seal affixed.
such changes can be made, but on
another blank which will be fur
nished by the secretary OH request.
All brands which have nIvcr
been recorded heretofore will have
to go to public record under the
present law, and, for which purpose
blanks will be furnished by the
Secretary. This referes to horses
as well as cattle; if you have ten
different brands on your ranch,
you should have them recorded if
You desire to be secured in the use
of the brand. 1t is an erroneous
idea that only the brand kept up
need be placed on record.
If you have other brands, and
which from your failing to record,
do not appear on such record as
taken by anyone, the same will be
allowed to the first applicant who
may apply for such brand, in which
case it might work to the serious
disadvantage of the first OF original
owner of cattle in such brand.
1t is intended to be and certain
ly will be an advantage TO every
cattleman in Arizona, and to that
end all are urged to take advantage
of the provision at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Remember, brands do not have
to be burnt on leather as of old.
A simple filling out of blank will
be all that is required, which blank
the county recorder will furnish il
your brand has been recorded. If
it has not been on record request a
blank from the Secretary at
Phoenix.
In all cases Of brands which
have been on county record, fee
Of % cents is paid TO the recorder
of the county. In all other cases
the fee is 81 for each and every
brand, payable by Geek or money
order 10 the Sanitary Beard, and
must accompany the application.
This covers the cost of recording
and a certificate under the seal Of
the board.
The reader will confer a favor
both on his fellowman and the
Sanitary Board by making this as
widely known as possible. The
'better plan perhaps would be to
clip this out and carry it IN your
pocket, where it can easily be re-
ferred to.

There is at present about lis
miles of irrigating canals and main
bitches, not including the lateral
bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres of
rich table and bottom land. 1t
has been estimated that quarter
of million acres of additional land
could be irrigated if storage dams
were built. This could be done
in several places, notably at the
narrows about Is miles from SAT-
ford where a box canyon exists
through which the river passes.
II is from this point the Enterprise
company are building their canal.

of 1000 square miles.
The ella valley is 35 miles from
the narrows to the edge of the res
ervation, with an average width of
bottom lands of two miles, the dis
lance between the foot hills being
six miles. The valley is thanked

and on the south by the Graham
mountains, Mount Graham being
the highest peak, with an altitude
of ten thousand feet above sea level,
Although but little prospecting

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.

There is prevalent, and running
back through the ages, a more OF
less widespread sentiment that
manual labor is something to be
ashamed of, and hence we hear the
farmer spoken of lightly by the
frivolous as ssthe horny handed
son of TOLL" a ''hayseed, etc.
But the dignity of honest labor,
nevertheless. remains, and he who
earns his bread by the sweat of his
brow is fulfilling his Godsordalned
destiny And, after all, it is
work that sets life to music and
reduces to harmony the strifes OF
existence.
But to come down to home af-
fairs. One of the great needs OF
this section is the touching up of
agriculture and making it a digni-
fed avocation in appreciation as
we'll as in fact.
There is no higher life than
that of the farmer. The truth is,
if human affairs were progress
ing in a normal way. farm life
would be the most attractive to
intelligent people. Let those now
on the farm realize that there is
no inferiori.y attaching to their
pursuit, Let them also take on a
more vigorous activity IN the
development Of old time frugals
ity. Let them learn to live at
home more with a realization
that theirs is the best sort of
living, for such it is, Or may be-
come.
Thousands of those who r
now herding in our towns and
cities, driven from pillar to post
and living from hand to mouth,
should go to the country and
live on a farm.
Every one should strive to e
cure a plot of land, if it is but a
few rods, and erect thereon a
cabin or cottage, as he may be
able, and cali it home. Let him
continually strive to improve his
home, internally and externally,
and he will learn by and by to
realize that ''Ee it ever so hum
BILE there's no place like home"
We have been longing for
years to see the plantations of
this country cut up into small
farms. each occupied and Guilt
waited by it's owner. When you
see this country SO occupied, and
not till then, will you be able to
say it is both prosperous and
happy.
