LIVE STOCK NOTES
Big Cattle Shipments From Wilcox to
 Hapford. California.

Last Friday 1852 head Of cattle were to himself at Hanford. Cal. The cattle were in splendid Shape. It is expected another large shipment will be made about October ist. The cattle were fur- nished by Messrs. James Scow. Wm. Newan. P. Shaefer T Richards J. T.. Vincenzi. Riggs. J. R. rGilman. Doe GcOdin. F.. F. Hooker Samuel Bohn. Thomas Allaire Poole Bros. F. A. Jones. T. E. Stark and others. There is plenty of the same kind of cat;ie left in these parts
 Secretary Thomas of the Hereford Breeders association writes us that entries for the Hers fold part of the American Royal Cattle show have commenced to pour in in a surprising manner. Entries were called for but a few days ago, and almost by return mail the entries of seventeen breeders were received. and the encouraging part of this is that twelve of these were breeders who have never before exhibited at Kansas City. Practically none of the prominent show herds that are certain to be at Kansas City have that the number of breeders who w1ll show at Kansas City this fall will be twice that of any former show. En- tries close October 10th. and the proper blanks will be mailed to any one desi.-- ing them if they will notify Secretary ThOnas.-Range News.

A TRIBUTE TO M'KINLEY
A Man Made Up Wholly of Good
 Qualities.

Col. J. r. Wilson of Prescott is here on legaLbusiaess. Speaking yesterday of the assassination of President Mc- Kinley. he said 1t was the severest shock the nation had ever undergone. President Mckinley. he said. was man against whom there could be no psrsonal aninosity He was without an enemy in the nation and enjoyed tho respect and admiration of his bitterest political opponents. His manhood. said Col. Wilson. was elegant: his home life was superb. His good humor was unfaiiing. H. was made up en- tlrely of good qualities. He was of inc people and never rose above the ncasses. He was the most popular iea.i- CT this country has produced since ths time of Henry Clay"
 The conversation turned upon an- archy Col. Wilson said he favored tne strongest possible legislation for is suppression. There was of course dan- ger-of going beyond constitutional linn its. but he did not believe that the con
 stitution in establishing the freedom or speech and of the press was intende1 10 protect those who sought to overturn authority If the cancerous growth could not b. eradicated. Col. Wilson be- lieved 1t might be prevented from ex- tending by very restrictive immigra- tion laws. Ninety per cent of the imm- grafton is undesirable. The immigr ants are the worst of the popu1ation Tn the countries from which they come. They are worse than the Chinese al menace
 to labor. and imm asurably worse as residents They could be denied ad- mission as effectively as the Chinese are. Only those known to be law abid- ing and self supporting should be ali. mitted.
 Speaking further of Mckinley. Col. Wilson said he was a warm friend o: Arizona. In his last conversation with
 him on the subject of statehood the president said there could be no doubt of the territo.y's right to admission. and that it was not right that politics . should become an obstruction. It was
 no doubt McKinley's wish to advance
 statehood. That matter. though. came to be ov rshadowed for the time by th,, insular questions.
 Regarding President Roosevelt. Col. Wilson believed his administration
 would be wise one H. is man of supeIabundant energy. accustomed to keep things stirred up in his vicinity but in his twenty years of public lif.- he had made no mistakes. His career has be n exceptionally successful os- He already enjoys the confidence of the country. a remarkable fact con
 sidering the times and the circum- stances surrounding his elevation to the presid ncy. His declaration that h. would carry out the policy of McKin- 1 ley. followed by his retention of the
 cabinet. Col. Wilson believes was a
 most tactful political stroke.

PHOENIX AND EASTERN
An Easy Grade Through a Fertile
 Region.

Alex. Wolven returned Tuesday f: on Benscn. to which place he went with J. H. Emmert. managing director of the Phoenix X Eastern, over th5 line of the proposed new railroad. They visited the different mining camps and sst dement's. and MT. Enffnert obtained much useful informa ton regarding the country and prospective business. with which he seemed delighted. He was warmly welcomed everywhere and promises cf free right of way were made by everyone.
 When MT. El1nert met Mir. Orton's engineers they were forty miles east Florence beyond Riverside That p-int was only 2DO feet higher than Flor ence. Just think of it, One-half per cenr grade though Arizona. It as tonisheG everybody. and only two Gifii- cult pieces of work on the entire line. which was asnGst q tangent with ab- solutely no grades. The greatest sur prise expI essed by both Mir Emmert and MT. Orton. was that this ideal route had not been occupied long years before While other roa Is had .seen climbing mountains and 5iving into valleys in order to cross Arizona. glance at the map would have shown that the Gi-a river cuts the ter riiC-y from east to west and forms the natural route. The Tom Scott survey. made thirty years ago. was along the river. and never until now have en- gineers seemed to grasp the situation. Construction work may cost a trife more. but this will be more than mad 9 up by easy grades and less running xpenses.-Florence Tribune.
