THE TOWN OF NOb OOD.
New Haven Register.

New Haven Register. My friend, have you heard of the town of \
 good,
 On the banks of the River Slow. Where blooms the Waitawhile flowers fair. Where the SOmetimeorother scents the air,
 And the soft Goeasys grow! It lies in the valley of What<theuse,
 In the province of Leterslide Thattiredfeeling IS native there, It's the home of the rec kless Idon' care;
 Where the Giveitups abide The town is as old as the human race,
 And it grows with the flight of years. It IS wrapped in the fog of idler's dreams, It's streets are paved with discarded schemes And sprinkled with useless tears. The Collegebredfool and the Richman 'sh.ir Are plentiful there. no doubt; The rest of Its crowd are motley crew With every class except one in view
 The FOolkiller is barred ont The town Of Nogood is all hedged about
 By the Mountains Of Despair No sentinel stands on it's gloomy WE-ts, Notrumpet to 0ats.e anu U .dl3pn calls, For towards alone gre there. My friend, from the desd-aliye town Nogood If you would keep far away, Just follow your duty through good and i'll, Take this for your motto. T can, will,'' And live up to it each day.

 The newspapers in the various coun-
 ties of the territory have been boasting
 about the promptness with which the
 people have pad their taxes ihIs year
 and the small amount that has gone delinquent, at the same time eulogizing theIr officers for what they have done. The officials of Navajo county, without a solitary exception, have been as dili- gent and as conscientious in the dis charge of their duties as the officers of any county in the territory, barring none. They are making no boasts of it either. Are not batting each other on the back for having performed their plain duty as was expected of them when elected by the people. There is only Si,1062S on the delinquent list for 1897 in this county. The Treasurer has collected for the year 1897 $32, ,I39 53; &l1-9-S5 of the delinquentl list of ISg6. and S92 75 for 1895.

Brand Registration Imperative


 Range News
 Persons who own aud run cattle in unrecorded brands may think that they have a perfect right to do so. but such is not the case. The stock law makes it the duty of every owner of live stock to have his brand recorded and in 8 subse- all violations of the law not otherwise provided for. This makes the act of ranniup cattle in a brand La legally recorded an indlctable offense. Since the provision is clearly for the benefit of stock growers, no one should refuse to comply with it. When the brand book is once completed and published and the benefits of the law become fully apparent, the laggards and klckers will begin to appreciate the situation and will then probably be compelled to pay we'll for a brand that IS eiIgibly to entry in the territorial brand book. Good brands gre already at premium in the territory, 1t being now next to impos- sible 10 secure a brand of Jess than three characters. It can readily be seen that, with 5000 brands on record, it is no easy matter to find a plain desirable brand that does not conflict with some iron already on record.

"Inave just completed a careful tour
 through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona
 and all the cattle breeding districts of ! the south and vest, for the purpose of Investigating the report shat there is a
 great shortage in the crop of feeders
 anu stock cattle, said William c. C.. ! 1ixon, a represeD ta tive of the Anglo American Packing company of Chicago, who called at stock growers headquaFt- CTS in Denver. He continued: GA short age in stock animals means a shortage in packers suplies. which means a great deal to us, and for this reason We are endeavoring 10 determine the exact condition of affairs, and 1 am forced to admit from my observations that if the prices of cattle continue to advance there will soon be little or no bovine stock left in the country. Prices have been so low for ten years that rise of few cents will attempt the holders of cattle to sell out to feeders or packers, and many ofthese will quit the business and 20 to agriculture CT horticulture, which is made possibe by large irr:ga- ''--, o~.,,.,r-,'oe ..ove-, n0 areas of land which ten years ago gas fl only for the propagation of jack raoDlts and coyotes. In the latter industry the men need have no fear of black leg, Texas fever, the quarantine officers or any of the dozen other annoyances winch Tn ake the life of stock grower burden.
 Those taking advantages ofthe good market and desiring to re-eDter the business will not do so until they can come in at lower prices, and this cannot be done until the ranges are restocked, which at the lowest calculation will take five years. and for this period look for scarcity of cattle and high prices, no matter what arguments the men who operate the heo- side Of the market put in circulation to break down the prlces.
