THE fourth annual report of the Ma tional Live Stock Association, com prising the proceedings of the annual convention at Salt Lake City, Utah, last January, and the work of the as- sociation for last year, has just been issued and is being distributed to the members of the association. Each delegate receives copy of the report, and it will be sent free to any stOckman in the country who will send p cents to Charles F. Martin, secretary, 2ll Quincy Building, Denver, Colorado, to pay postage. The book is handsomely bound in silk cloth and consists of about $50 pages on handsome plate paper, illustrated with portraits of those who took part in the last great convention, and containing the valuable papers de- livered, as we'll as the verbatim report of the interesting discussions. The stockman of to-day requires just three books in his library. He should have the "Year Book" of the Department of Agriculture, the annual report of the Bureau of Animal Industry, and add to these the annual report of the National Live Stock Association and the library is complete. The two Washington re- ports convey fully all the work being done by the government, and the Ma tional Association report shows what the stockmen are doing for themselves. If these annual reports were all that the stockmen got for their membership in the National Association they might consider themselves well repaid for the outlay. In some respects the last pub lication of the National Association is the most interesting of any yet sent out. Those who have had mixed un- of the work being done by the association should read the fourth annual report and be enlightened.

PLANS have been completed for the reorganization and re-equipment of the Santa Fe X Grand Canyon road. Gen eral Solicitor E. D. Kenna of the Santa Fe, James H. Eckels of the Commercial National Bank, and Byron L. Smith of the Northern Trust Company have been selected to act as reorganization com. mittee. The $l 100000 outstanding 5 per cent bonds will be retired and sl, ,OOO, 900 in common stock will be sub stituted. Preferred stock will be issued to the value of $25O, 900 and the Santa Fe will take $l5O,OOO of this at par. This will give sufficient cash to com plete the eleven miles of road which will connect Williams with the rim of the canyon. The road is already graded and the laying of tracks will take but a short time.

Perkins says he has no interest in any job office in Phoenix or anywhere else, except as a mortgagee, and that he has never contemplated starting newspaper in Phoenix or anywhere else except at St. Johns. He says he has been engaged to take charge of the public schools at St. Johns for the next school year.

JUDGE SHERRY GAINING.
Physicians Believe He Will Recover
 From His Illness.

The Los Angeles Times of Wednes- day says: c. N. Sterry, Esq, general counsel for the Santa Fe, suffering with pneumonia, is in serious con- dition at the California Hospital, but late last night his condition had ma terially improved since the night before. Dr. F. N. Bicknell, who is in attendance, said last evening, that unless there is change for the worse, his patient will recover.
 Judge Sterry was taken i'll while in San Francisco, and on Sunday returned to Terminal Island, where his family was spending the summer. His con- dition was such that it was deemed advisable to take him to this city, and Sunday evening a special on the Salt Lake Railroad conveyed him here. He was accompanied by Mrs. Sterry, Dr. Herbert and Walter Comstock. Mrs. Sterry is now with him at the hospital.
 A consultation was held Sunday eve ming, at which time the III man was in a critical condition. Yesterday pneu- monia developed, but not in severe form, and the patients symptoms im- proved so materially during the day that last evening Dr. Bicknell was greatly encouraged.

WHILE in England no income tax is levied on incomes of less than $500, in Prussia, on the other hand, the limit of exemption is drawn at incomes of less than $225. Yet even with this only S.46 per cent of the population of Prus- sia are income taxpayers, over 9l per cent having to live on less than $225 per annum. Again, the property of over $l 300 capital value shows that only l4,OOO individuals out of a total population of 32,OOO,OOO possess prop erty of over sl75, ,OOC value.

.'WIdow snIggles,, Entertainment.

The "Widow Singles entertainment,
Thanksgiving evening, was great sue
cess in every way. The programme
opened by cornet solo by Mr.. Bunnell,
Miss Lizzie Roberts accompanying him
on the organ. Miss Eva Connell gave a
recitation in manner that showed her
to be coming artist in elocution. Sam
Blowers was called upon for song. He
responded in his usual happy manner
and received an encore. Mrs. Price,
who called off the programme, at this
point announced the farce of "Widow
Singles. This lady, represented by
Mrs. Goddard, and her eight interesting
daughters filed into the hall from an
ante-room, and the fun commenced.
The bloomin sisters made a grotesque
appearance. Widow Singles proudly
introduced each one to the audience, an
nouncing their names (too long for pub
lication) and recounting their many vir-
tues and accomplishments. Miss Agnes
Dukes represented the first character
introduced. Her long suit was her in
yincible manner OF captivating the
hearts OF the male sex. Scores OF young
men had been driven to strong drink or
the mad house by their failure to win
this girl with the goo goo eyes. Mrs
Margaret Reed was most charming
daughter in the fine dresses she wore
and the elegant style with which she de-
ported herself. Miss Hoadley's claim to
fame rested upon her having been Tilted
by a member Of the royal family of Eng
land in line for the crown. The poor
girl wore a sad face during the whole
performance and went into Mysteries
when her love affair was alluded to.
Mrs. Garfield was daughter who had
contracted cold while sparkling by the
gate, and though her dear mother had
taken her for health to the top of Mt.
Vesuvius and spent week in camp at
Collins springs, she found no relief
from the everlasting kerchew!l i You'd
a thought she'd sneeze her head off, and
her nose was as red as a beet Miss
Gloria Lane wac celebrated as q singer,
and at the request Of the widow, IA
vored the audience with the most excru-
tiating melody" Mrs. H. F Davidson
was the most graceful daughter She
fell over herself several times on the
stage, dropped her smelling bottle and
fan about every minute, aud fell off the
stage when the party made their exit.
She also could dance Ike bucking
cay use. Mrs 2. ), Davidson was strong
on eocution and rendered piece about
the little pigs in such pathetic and
soul-fetching manner as to bring tears
IN rs IN hn nd
Mrs. Huxley represented the giggling
daughter and giggled throughout the
performance OF her sisters Her intro
duction to the audience caused more
giggles. After the withdrawal of the
Singles family from the stage the audi
ence felt that they had got their moneys
worth, but the eight fair daughters
served coffee and sandwiches, and the
crowd remained till late hour. The
entertainment netted $55.

The Lake Michigan District.

Many good people in this section of
the country will have to confess that
they have never heard Of the Lake
Michigan district" Such an ignor-
ance of national geography is Ia
mcntable and probably would be in
comprehensive to one who has e"er
been in Chicago. The national capital
is now learning much through it's
papers about the district in question
for Capt. George w. Streater is there
preparing his case for presentation
vcnes, and later the whole country
VIII probably know the story, unless
the plans of the energetic captain mis-
carry.
Many years ago Capt. Streater was
wrecked on a sand bar in Chicago
harbor. AS the little steamer was
about all he had in the world. he lie
cided to stay on the bar. After q
while the sand began to roll up around
the vessel until an island was formed.
which now is said to contain 500 acres.
The city of Chicago cast covetous eyes
on this island, wanting it for a Dark,
and undertook to gain possession of it..
first through the police and then
instances. The State of Illinois then
attempted to gain possession of the
island, and was likewise unsuccessful
The owners of the adjacent shore
claimed it, but We're repulsed. Capt
Sreater then erected his island into q
territory, which he calls the Lake
Michigan district. and has organized
q municipal and territorial govern
ment At the late election Mckinley
one and Capt. Streater was elected
territorial governor. He holds that
his island is outside the jurisdiction
of the United States and seeks ad-
mission into the Union by annexation,
as in the case of Hawaii.
The situation is certainly unique and
interesting. All this is no fairy story
of Chicago newspaper for the mat
ter has had much litigation in the
Illinois courts, and if Congress or the
national government is induced to
touch the matter it will have national
importance and interest. Capt.
Streater says that his district has a
population of 200 souls and that lots
are selling at high prices. He de-
clares that it is already worth more
than the entire state of Nevada and
is fast gaining in area. population
and wealth. AS may be imagined the
captain is a hustler, and the wrecking
of his craft proved a financial bonanza
to him. The future of the Lake
Michigan district will be watched with
eager interest by the increasing num-
bers who are learning of it's origin and
its history.
