Stockman: MT c. K. Perkins, who for some time has been in the cattle business in Navajo county, near Hol- brook, has been moving his cattle from that county during lhe summer and fail months, and has about ended his business there. He writes us that h has selected a location in north western New Mexico, where he has placed bunch of 100 well graded breeding COWS, and to which he has added recently three thoroughbred bulls From this beginning MT. Perkins will grow some really good cattle, in a country where lie hopes success will better reward his efforts than did ia NavaJo county. Dur ing his travels in the fall MT.

two carloads of range cattle Monday of last week to Monaghan & Murphy, at Manville, Cal.
 Star: George Tn mas, a cattleman doing business in southern AriZona left Tucson for the Catalinas Tuesday morning where he went to receive a large bunch of cattle which he plr- chased sometime ago.
 Stockman: Richards Humphrey of Bisbee, who recently visited this val ley, purchased dozen milch cows and shipped them to his home town for the purpose of starting model dairy. Mr. Humphrey ought to do we'll
 Stockman: In several sections of Arizona light rains fell during the week, but not enough to be of any appreciative value to the ranges. The country needs more rain and snow this winter if the ranges are to be in their normal condition next summer, and the hope is still held that the season will be held in the end
 Stockman: Something over two years ago suit was brought against the Southern Pacific company by J. H. Charles, of El Paso, and and J. r. Anderson, of Abilene, Texas, for dam oges to train load of stock. The cause has just been decided in favor of the plaintiffs, they receiving judg. ment for Sl3,7c0 and interest. the whole amount amounting to about sl5,O0O
 Citizen: The cattle business n Arizona is booming and the shipments from the territory are larger than at any other time previous. The South- ern Pacific has now orders for $40 cat tie cars for hauling the stock between Fl Paso and Yuma The shipments are to go in part to California and part east and north. The Arizona cattle are considered among the best to be had and the demand for them is very great.
 Globe Belt: Eugene B. Packard of Tonto, is spending the week in town. He informs us that the annual move. ment of sheep from the northern counties to Salt River valley is DOW in progress, upwards of eight thousand having passed through the Tonto val. ley during the past two weeks. No complaint is heard from local cattle. men this year; the sheep men profit ing by the lesson taught them last year, have not stopped to allow their f1ocks to graze on cattle ranges.
 Florence Blade: The Wakefield Brothers are rounding up all their cattle on their Desert Station range, and will deliver them to buyers at Tucson. They contracted to deliver 1000 head to buyers at Tucson, but have not been able to fnd more than TOO head so far. Their loss of cattle because Of the dr0uth has been great CT than they anticipated. They have bought new ranch near the Sonora line, and will go into the business of buying and selling cattle.
 Stockman: It seems that Messrs. Bilby & Green, who have purchase d about sixty cars Of cattle in Graham county for shipment to their Texas ranches are having trouble in getting shipping facilities. Cars for cattle shipments seem very scarce, and they cannot secure the cars with which to make their shipments MT. Green in. formed the Arizonan that it was their intention to buy several thousand

Meetings by Mrs. D. H. Cox.

1t was certainly red letter day In
the annals of the w. G. T. q. when
Mrs. Dele III. Cox made her visit here.
The spacious rooms Of Mrs. Z. D.
Parker were full at the parlor meet
ing held there Wednesday afternoon,
May 10. A program consisting of
readings and music was followed by a
helpful talk by Mrs. Cox. "Stir up
the Gift that is ia You" was her
theme-well worth preserving. Re
freshments were served and all went
away well pleased with our meeting.
Mrs. Cox gave lecture in the even
ing at the Congregational church on
What We are Doing for the Saloon. .
She is assuredly convincing speaker
with charming personality all her
own. Those who did not hear the
lecture missed a rare treat. That
such gifted woman devotes her
whole time to the temperance work
is striking proof Of the greatness
and need Of the cause. -SECRETARY

Concerning Sidewalks.

The JOURNAL is not in the habit OF
carping about undesirable condition,
with implied condemnation OF the
powers that be" for neglect of duty
in failure to remedy defects. The
dilapidated condition of many pieces
of sidewalk is not in accordance with
anybody's desires. The condition is
not peculiar-it is incident to the
system of wooden sidewalks. The
necessity for their frequent renewal
makes this system expensive, but
when the system is persisted In fire.
Queht renewals are demanded. The
condition Of the sidewalks and the
views of the public are well known TO
the city council and the members are
as anxious to remedy the defects as
the people are TO have their walks
put In good condition, The want OF
funds is the only thing that is lack
ing. The sidewalks will be renewed
where the demand exists, as funds
are forthcoming. 1t is a question
often raised whether the time Is not
opportune for the consideration Of a
more permanent system OF sidewalks.
Many cities are making a very dura-
BILE sidewalk Of cement. In the west
where frosts do not disarrange it by
lifting" it is all right. A trench is
dug the proper width and nine inches
deep, which is filled with broken stone,
this covered with sand and on top is
laid two-inch layer Of cement-one
part Portland cement to five OF sand
and this again is covered with layer
Of cement about an inch in thickness
composed of equal parts Of Portland
cement and sand. That our city
council has something of this kind In
mind is evident from the fact that it
has laid piece Of cement walk
on Maple street In front Of j. III.
Langdon's lots, the owner Of the
property adjoining paying half the
expense and the city one half. The
plan thus begun, that the city and
the property owner each pay one-half
the expense Of building cement walks
may reasonably be largely extended,
and will not be burdensome where the
settlement is compact. 1t is expect
ed that a cement walk under similar
conditions will be laid on the east
side Of Main street from Elm in front
Of the ApRoberts' store building to
the jewellery store Of c. f. Winter,
reach Of nearly block, where the
wooden walk is in very bad condition.
The remainder Of the block from
Winters to Walnut street was built
last year and is good. There are
some places on the west side of
Main street in the business part
Of the city that are also in urgent
need Of better sidewalks.

The veterans of the st. Croix Valley
Association hold their annual reun-
ion ia this city this year, June ), G.,

Claire, G. I. Burnley Of Hudson and
Department Commander D. G. James
OF Rlchland Center. There is some
prospect Of securing Senator Moses r..
Clapp to be present one day between
trains and address the people 1t was
the hope and the intention of the As
ISOLATION to have Senator Spooner
and Ex-Governor Hoard here at the
reunion and invitations were extend
ed to them to be present but both
sent regrets with announcement OF
previous engagements on the dates
set for the reunion.

fires; street parades; inspections; ball
games; tug of war; bugle calls; taps;

THE PEOPLE PAY THE FREIGHT

The immense revenues of the ma
tiOnal government come from the
pockets of the consumers. II all this
money was taken directly, there would
be such clamor for public economy as
was never heard before. But the PEG
pie pay it without knowing it, How
many people realize that when they
buy a suit OF clothing for $40 that
about one-half the price is govern
msnt tax Or if he buys ten dollars
worth OF hardware, that he pays from
SO to "a to the government. In short,
that he pays from 90 to G5 per cent.
more for what he buys than foreigners
pay in their own countries. You can't
make a man stands and deliver without
a kick, but you can rob him so skill
fully that he will never know how it
was done.

DOCTOR KISSES HER PATIENT,

DR.. Emma N, Warne of Chicago has
lost her suit against the estate of the
late +. L. Wheeler, q millionaire paper
bag manufacturer, for 500, 600 for pro-
fessional services DR., Warne testi-
fed that she had been Mr. Wheeler $
physician for some time before his
death, and that she considered the
amount asked only fair and reasonable
compensation for her services. On
cross examination she admitted that
she had kissed and fondled Mr..
Wheeler, explained that she did so for
the purpose of keeping him away from
liquor; which opened UP an interesting
line of speculation respecting the
ethics of the woman doctors duties to-
wards her patient The jury, however,
decided that not even the fondling and
the kisses made DIR. Warne's services
worth 800, 0O0.-Savannah News.

CHRISTIAN GREED.

The world has been astounded at the
rapacity of the Christian powers in
their claims for indemnity from China.
Much the larger portion Of this claim
ID for outrages perpetrated against the
Chinese government and people. We
are gratlhed by being able to state that
our OWE country was the least aggres-
sive Of all the nations in this matter
The United States, through her Off
Gals, frequently suggested that some
pretense of justice be adhered to-
What we regret is that our govern
ment did not quietly withdraw and
wash her hands of the whole thing
But now we are informed that by an
unintentlonal clerical error China has
agreed to pay $25, 100000 more than
the demand. Common honesty would
OF course demand that this sum be re-
mltted. An individual who would re-
fuse to do so in any similar case would
be branded as an Infamous swindler,
and ostracised by all honest people.
But honor seems to have no place IN
international ethics, as shown by the
fact that as soon as the error became
known Germany put in a claim for
$40, 900, 900, Japan for 100000 more,
and the other powers have declared
their intention to demand their share
of this additional loot. The European
powers seem determined to squeeze the
last tael possible from China, entirely
regardless of justice or even the honor
that is said to prevail among thieves. =

TAKING ISSUE WITH sICKLEs.

1t is gratifying to know that both
of the leading army aud navy news

take issue with Gen. Sickles in the
matter of Pension Commissioner Ev-

vors an administration of our pension

Rev. L. Dewitt Talmage says that
"a newspaper whose columns overflow
with the ads OF business men has more
influence in attracting attention to and
build Mp city or town than any other
agency that can be employed. People
go where there is business Capital
and labor Will locate where there Is an
enterprising community No power
on earth is so strong to build up a
town as newspapers we'll patronized,
and this power should be appreciat-
ed" The Times Recorder is that sort
OF a newspaper and Is so recognized by
the business public
