But as soon as it was known that sheep men had invaded the southern slope, money was promptly raised and James Bark went to Washing ton. D.

SHEEP!s
THE SHEEPMEN Of NortheTn l4Tizona and
 THB RANGES.

As was announced in this paper last week. the Secretary ot tho In- teri0r has issued an order that the grazing of sheep on the lol est re- serv, s could be cOntinued on pay ment uf three cents per head, the number of sheep to be limited to 300, ,OO0. The Black Mesa, in par. tIcular, seems to De the grounds oi contention, the headwaters Uf the Salt River being on the suutherh slope; and the farmers and fruit growers ot the Salt River valley contending that sheep eat the shrubbery, thus deprivlng the ground Ot shade and subsequently, alIO 6Ing all the snow tu melt at one time, the quantity of water be- ing too great aud too early Tn the season tu De utilized. However. the arguments are all familiar to our readers. Sufficient to say that the sheep interests have had q very strong and watchful opposition to contend with.
 We have sccn letter, setting forth the conditions and the re qulrtme"ts I,np"sed, und, whl, h grazing may be continued. This letter, we understand, has been sent to all interested parties by the Secretary of the Arizona Wool Growers, Albert F. Potter, whose untirIng efforts haAe 6 been success inl, whereby tHe sheep industry of ihIs section has been saved. IL is well to note in passing. that il IS to tue interest Oi every one concern ed to elluw close y the lIne of ac- Ii0R mapped out in the letter aOovc mentioned, for the real struggle wIll take place mt the Depart ment has completed the investiga- tion the coming summer and the permits now being issued will have expired For the opposing inter- ests have by no means gwen up hope of eventually succeeding in having the sheep shut off the tor ! est reserve.

A Parable.

And now thetim cometh apace, yea, draweth nigh, when the Nigh. ty Statesman from every X-Roads from Dan to Beersheba, remember eth in his heart that a little free advertising goeth long way in turning the enemy into rout and confusion while a political can vass beginneth to WAX warm; and that big bunch of the editors quill juice, gratis, helpeth nightly Lo a nomination. This is that which he hath rolled under his tongue as q swset mOrsel, even since the days of the last election.
 Now, it doth not appear unto him that he hath not said even 8 kind word for his county print for the space of one year, tour months and six days. He feign would for. get. Neither doth he remember that in the Great Book called the Ledger, ut his county printshop, there appeareth a great sum charg- ed against him.
 He hath not helped to increase the circulation of that which Le now desirelh to make his chief mouthpiece and tooter of praise.
 "In the morning." sayeth he un- to himself, Il shall betake myself to the news dispensary, for mayhap my burden maybe llgh'ened and my election made sure by the aId ot the saintlv editor who presidas over the deollnies Oi many aspir- ing men like unto myself in this bailiwick,"
 In the morning he doeth even as he hath vowed unto himself that ha would do.

The coal selected was for use in the trial trip of new man. of-war. Wise and talented men were choosing the coal, because success de- pended largely on the quanty ot the fuel.

FREIGHT BY TROLLEY.
Stfitty of the Innovation Is Being Fully Demonstrated at the
 City of Toledo, Ohto.

The utility of the rural trolley line as a freight road is receiving very full demonstration at Toledo. The mana gers of a suburban line there have de- Tised trolley truck on which load ed farm wagon can be readily placed, the axles of the wagon setting in sockets which hold it firmly in place. The farmers are using this style of transportation when teaming is bad. Recently, on day when the roads were in very bad shape, one train that reached the city included S7 sacks of clover seed and two wagon loads of basswood lumber.
 The farmers sending this shipment lived Is miles from Toledo and stated that, with the roads in the condition they were then in, the seed would nave made at least three ordinary wagon loads. This would have been equivalent to 270 miles travel for one driver and two horses. With the troll Icy service the haulage was accom- pilshed in one hour, at a cost of six dollars per wagon from the shipping point to the delivery point. Such ad. vantages, especially in regions where roads are usually in poor condition. will naturally give an impetus to the construction of rural electric lines. The advantages of shipping the wag- ens without loading or unloading at either end of the line are obvious.
