COUNTY AFFAIRS.
Work Done in the Office of the
 District Attorney.

Last week we published an article headed County Finances" which at- tracted considerable attention among our readers and all those Interested Tn county affairs. On account of the at- tention the publication referred to caused. and also the fact that a further examination into tue affairs of the diff | ferent county offices shows that all the officers are earnestly working in the
 interest of the county. and all seem to 1 be laboring in harmony to put all mat l ters of county government in good condition, would seem to suggest that the subject might be treated more elab- orately.
 It IS our intention to publish facts and figures from all the county offices III their turn. With this object in view. We will this week undertake to give our readers some Idea of how mat ters stand in the law department of Apache county, and for this purpose, have been favored by MT. Ruiz. the dis SAiNt oOIOlhCy hALA d4I Iu0 IaCtS anu figures at his command.
 In this connection we would say that the district attorney is the lawyer for the county, and, of course, all collec- tons made by him is done as an attor- ney, and are placed in his hands in the same manner as any business man would put his hard and doubtful claims in the hands of his attorney for colIec- ton. The lawyer is supposed to make these collections only when the busi- ness man is unable to realize a nickel upon them.
 Some six months since the Board of Supervisors made an order directing the district attorney to collect all de- linquent taxes. by suit or otherwise. Mir. Ruiz proceeded to his work, and was successful beyond all expectations, and has succeeded in reducing the amount of stale delinquent taxes to a very small sum. The following table shows the amounts collected by Dis trict Attorney Ruiz since the order of

Stockers Will Be High.

NJ. K. Parsons, the we'll known cattle shipper from the northwest, thinks cat tie are scarce. He usually purchased his cattle from the northwestern states, and had about 10000 head out of there last year. Now he is shipping them back again for beef and is receiving $3.50 to $3.75 per hundred for them, says the Denver Stockman.
 "I don't know just where I am going to get my stockers next spring." said he yesterday. Il do not expect to get over 70 per cent of the number I got this wear out of Oregon and that country, and l guess 1 will have to go south like the rest. l hardly expect to see beef cat
 tie go any higher at present, but stock CTS will hold steady and may go higher Most of the buyers seem to think that they can grow them out at any price, and they are going to have the cattle, no matter what they have to pay. When you take a young steer and put on three or four hundred pounds weight, you can almost always come out all right at a far profit on top of what you have paid. The only trouble this next season will be to find the cattle. Those who have them are not very anxious to sell, for they know that they can come out all right with them and make money by holding, so prices will be stiff, and those who get cattle will have to pay for hopa

 This is very good showing for the office of the district attorney, and largely accounts for the S3695 43 col lected this year more than the total tax levy for 1897. It also indicates that no friction exists between the offices of district attorney and treasurer. As "all roads lead to Rome." so all the avenues through which the public funds are collected leads into the county treas ury, and it seems that the whole sys- tenn ofthis county is working most sat isfactorIly.
 AS we said last week, and it will bear repeating, if the different officers of this county will, in the future, continue to work i'll the interest of the county as did the set who have been in charge of affairs during the year 1897, in five years we will be out of debt and in a better financial condition than any county in the territory here.
