cords of wood cut unlawfully in this
 valley and districts adjacent to it. The | railroad company since it's advent four years ago has burned large quantities of this wood and probably one thou sand cords have been shipped to Globe during the last few months.
 MT. HOlsinger says the object of the | government is not to preserve this timber for any value it may have for the government, but to prevent the cutting of timber in localities where its removal will work palpable injury to the actual settlers and home build CTS now here and to come later.
 The rulings and instructions from the department to MT. HClsinger do not absolutely prohibit the cutting of mesquite timber on the public domain, but prescribe rules and regulations un- der which it may be cut. These rules. practically, leave the question of whether or not mesquite timber shall be cut to the people living in the vicin- ity. No one can cut at all, except for individual domestic purposes, without first securing a permit from the gov~ ernment. This permit can be secured only by application to the land depart. ment. When an application is re- ceived that fact is advertised and any citizen may protest and give reasons why such timber should not be cut for the purpose intended, which is re- quired to be definitely stated.
 Any citizen of the territory may use timber from mineral land for mining and domestic purposes, but in cutting timber from mineral land it must be done under the regulations prescribed by the department.
 Every contractor or company using wood cut from mineral land must keep a book recording who cut the wood, where it was cut, when, and the amount. This book must always be open subject to the inspection Of any agent of the government.
 Companies buying wood which has been illegally cut from the public do- main will be held responsible by the government Parties are restricted on mineral land not to cut anything un- der eight inches in size and must use all of each tree cut that can prOfitably be used and must dispose of the tops in such manner as tC, prevent the spread of forest fires.
 MT. Holsinger went to Clifton on Tuesday and will go to Duncan to in vestigate complaints coming from there where it is stated the country is being denUded of timber which is shipped to the mining companies at Clifton and Morenci.
 MT Holsinger is a perfectly fair and man and takes great pains in explaining the objects of the depart ment, under whose direct instructions he is ng.-SolOmOnville ulletin.

annexation problem" he continued. and it's defeat was certainly in the in terests of Arizona in general. It will prevent disputes as to the exact mean ing of the law, but had it become a law, the residents of the additions like so many leeches, would be enabled, for an indefinite length of time, to fatten at the expense of the municipal system
 But you mistake the inten tions of the people of the Phoenix additions. It has been clear ly shown that not only the residents of the city proper have been in favor of annexation, but many of the non-res- idents are eager to join with the city"
 ''If that is the case" MT. Diamon said, you are to be congratulated. With such a happy combination. I can see no reason why the law I referred to should have been before the legisla ture. It was probably the work of few.
 f'I must say that I have never visited city with population equal to that of Phoenix, which had such restricted limits in view of it's densely populated additions. The annexation of your ad ditions would be of incalculable value to the city and I might hazard a guess that ultimatly the residents of the ad ditions would profit by the action

CITY EXTENSION.
St. Paul Lawyer Speaks of -Experi-
 enCe of One of inc Twin Cities.

Although he has been in the city but a few days, A. J. Diamon, a lawyer Of St. Paul, has become interested in the question of city extension from the fact that it is a live question at his home and much the same principles are involved there as are here. He readily takes issue with the anti-an- motives for not desiring to enter the city are not prompted by wide views and patriotism Said Mr Diamon:
 We have the same difficulty with the nOn-progressive element in, and especially about St. Paul as you are having here. At any place where suburbs are enjoying the same privi- leges as the city, the inhabitants are not prone to annex. It would seem that the same loyalty or patriotism would be manifest among those who live with out the city, as among those who are residents of the city. The latter do not receive a much larger share of the city benefits and they bear a much greater load of taxation.
 Instead of the surburbans coming forward and unselfshly proclaiming that in as much as they derive benefits on account of their proximity to the city; in nine cases out of ten, they dilate upon a threatened increase of taxation. and they are not willing to help their neighbOrs maintain the eX- pense fund of the municipality.
 "The law comes to the rescue, how ever, and vests with the citizens the privilege of petitioning the court and forcing the additions to annex. That is a most equitable law and by it's en- fOrcement. many large cities are re- Heved from a heavy strain. In that re- spect, though. St. Paul is handicapped Our city is situated in such a manner that the additions on the north, east and south are not in tho same county as St Paul, and although the matter of forcible annexation has been before the legislature for several terms, the St. Paul delegation to that body is labor ing under adverse circumstances, and we do not hope to accomplish much for some time.

WILL BE RETIRED.
Fourteen Naval Officers to Leave the Active List-Will Go Out in
 Next Higher Grade.

Washington, March 17.-FOurteen naval officers of the navy will be placed on the retired list by the "se- lecting out' process between now and the first of July next, in order to create the necessary vacancies in the line of the navy prescribed by the personnel law. Therefore the number of vacancies in the line caused by deaths. resignations, retirements and other causes has never exceeded thirty in one fiscal year, and has frequently been as low as twelve.
 The personnel law provides that at least forty places shall annually exist in the lower grades. Boards will be appointed for the examination of off cers ordered before them for retire ment, from among whom the neces- sary number will be selected. Retire ment under such conditions carries with it the rank and pay of the next higher grade There are several otf1- cers in the grade of captains who are willing to be retired as admirals, who, if they remained on the active list might reach the compulsory retiring age before reaching the higher grade Chief Engineer w. G. Buehler, who now has the rank of captain, will be retired on the 26th instant with the rank and pay of rear admiral. He will be the first officer affected by the new retiring law. The first examination board to be appointed under the new law will have furteen places to create, and these may come from any grade above that of junior lieutenant.

RETURN OF THE FLAG!
The Colors of Colonel McCord's Regi- ment to be Restored to the
 Good Templars.

On Monday night next, Colonel Me Cord will return the flag presented to his regiment last summer in Prescott by the Good Femplars of Arizona, to Grand Chief Doan, in behalf of the order. The ceremonies will take place in Good Templars' hall, and will be open to the public. A special invita- tion will be extended to all members of Colonel McCord's regiment, and to the Rough Riders to be present, also to members of the G. A. R. and the w. R. c. In addition to the addresses by Colonel McCord and Judge Doan, it is expected that Captain George D. Christy will speak, and that Rough Riders Payne and Mullen will partic- ipate. There will also be music by the Good Templars' orchestra, Porter Brothers mandolin trio, the c. C. quartette and several vocal selections.
 While the flag will be returned to the donors by Colonel McCOrd, it will probably be by them placed in the capitol and preserved as a memento of the regiment.

Washington, March 17.-The Prcsi- dent has given some attention to the selection of delegates to represent the United States at the czar's disarma- ment conference Within a few days an intimation has come through diplo- matic channels that several nations will send regularly appointed diplo- matic representatives rather than specially chosen delegates, Great Brit ain, the report is, will designate Sir Julian Paunceforte, the British am bassador, for one of the delegates from that country If this is to be the practice, the President will probably name Ambassador White at Berlin and Ambassador Choate at London for the
