THE PHOENIX SCHOOLS.
Everything in Readiness Now for
 September 13.

The Republican couple Of weeks ago published the assignment of teachers in the schools for the coming year. At that time no determination had been reached regarding the principalship of the East and West End schools. Since Superin- tendent Creager's return from the coast he has assigned Professor c. O. Case to the principalship of the West End build ing, and Professor John F. Butler to the East End school.
 Professor Butler comes from Califor- mia, where he had long experience in the schools. He has also taught in this county.
 The assistant principal of the Central building, Professor N. F. McNeff. arrived in the city yesterday morning. Pro- lessor McNef is graduate from De Fauw university. Indiana, and lived at Greencastle. that state. During the last six years he has been successfully en- gagged in teaching in Colorado.
 In the course Of his late visit to the coast Superintendent CreaEer made a study of school matters at Los Angeles, San Francisco and other towns on the coast The farther he carried his iD- vestigaton the better he was pleased with the schools of Phoenix.

veloped. This discovery alone justi- fled the course of the doctor and the board fully endorsed it. The ser vices of Harris, the guard, were re- tained until December 1. His salary and any other expense that may at tend the guarding of the cattle will have to be borne by Sturgeon. who will no doubt contest the matter.
 It Is not to be understood that the presence of these ticks on the cattle will be fatal to them. In the first place, there are not enough Of them, immune The danger lies in a pos- sible damage to the stock industry of the territory unless the greatest vigi- lance is exercised by the board and the veterinarian. If thess cattle should be permitted to be shipped north and mingle with northern cat tie, Texas fever would be communi- cated and Arizona would be placed on the wrong side of the national quar- antiEe line.
 The field in which the cattle had been confined had had no cattle in it since last February. It is impossible that the ticks could have been intro duced at the time, so that the fact that they were found yesterday fully justi- f1es the view of Dr. Norton as to the period required for their extermina- tion and which seemed to Sturgeon an unreasonably long one.
 The live stock board directed the veterinarian to exercise still greater stringency and to prosecute all vio- lations, however trifiing, of the sani- tary regulations. There is no doubt now that the Texas fever tick which has been confined within an exceed ingly small area will soon be unknown in this territory.

MIR. SURGEONS ERROR.
In Running Counter to the Live Stock
 Sanitary Commission.

J. E.. Sturgeon, cattleman on the south side, has succeeded in involving himself in a great deal of trouble by disregarding live stock sanitary regu- lations and wilfully disobeying the or ders of Dr. Norton, the territorial veterinarian. It is a secret more or less open that Texas fever ticks have for some. time existed on the south side of the river. The board a year ago entered upon their eradication SC energetically that the infected area was restricted to section or two ot alfalfa land about eight miles south O.. Tempe.
 Under the direction of the live stock board Dr. Norton placed a part of one particular section in quarantine last December. He ordered that no cattle should be turned into the quarantined portions until sufficient time should elapse for the ticks to die.
 Last February Sturgeon turned { small bunch of cattle into a tract Of 120 acres near the center of the sec tion which had been rented by him The doctor did not hear of it unti, they had been there six days He then ordered them turned out, believ- ing it to be unlikely that they could have become infected with the ticks at that season of the year and within so short time. He notified Sturgeon again that the field was in quarantine and would not be released until De- cember 1 of this year. Since then Sturgeon has made several applica- tions for permission to put cattle into the field, but they were denied.
 About twenty days ago he turned 14C head in without permission. They were there nearly two weeks before it came to the knowledge of Dr. Norton He visited the field and determined tc hold them. Unwilling to trust Sturgeon any further he employed g young man named Harris as a guard at $2.50 a day. Harris was directed also to strengthen the fence around the field by the addition of more wire and to take every precaution against the removal of the cattle There has since been threatening by Sturgeon of legal proceedings. The matter came before the live stock board yes terday and Chairman Barnes and J. A Marshall of the board, accompanied by Dr. Norton, visited the ranch. They Inspected the cattle and found 8 few ticks on them ill different stages of de veiopment, eume of them fully de,
