SAN CARLOS LEASES.
Proposition to Raise the Grazing Tex on the
 Reservation Causes Dissatisfaction.


 c. II. Farnsworth, the Black river correspondent of the Clifton Copper Era, says:
 "A considerable stir has been ere ated in this section of the country by the effort of the department to raise the grazing tax on the San Carlos res ervation to one dollar head. Con Sidering the losses, this is an exoroi- tant price compared to the former.
 "It is reported that the Double Cir cle outfit is making preparations to move their cattle providing the tax is raised. Butit is merely an unauthOr- ized report and may not be true,
 "The eco ranch has leased a con- siderable tract of grazing land north of Black river, have thrown one herd on that side and will put more over as soon as convenient. The company in- tends making quite a large shipment this spring, and if the government stops the issue of beef to the Indians, as are the intentions now, it will only be a very short time until the cowboys will find it necessary to seek other parts in order to follow their favOiite but hard and trying occupation. The cowpuncher, even in Arizona, is fast becoming but memory, and should the COG and the Double Circle both close out, it will deprive many au ex- citement-Seeking young man of work. Stockmen are now looking forward to the stopping of the Indians beef with uneasineSs It is utterly impossible, with the present means at hand, for the Apaches to support themselves on the reservation. There is but little grain to be had and even the Gila river is now being taxed to it's utmost to furnish sufficient water to irrigate the land already in cultivation, and should there fail to be a rise of the rlver, it will be impossible to grow the crops. Even the Apache Indian cannot be eX- pected to permit starvation to enter his tepee when there are thousands Of cattle running at will over the noun tainS of the reservation.
 "We start in a few days to San Oar. los to work in that vicinity. Most of us agree with one of our bestaud most noted riders Smoky Bin that Carlos is a fayOrite starting point for many persons desiring a trip to climate that the men of the pulpit warn us to avoid. At any rate, it is land of per petual sunshine and dust storms, and is a place dreaded by those who have enjoyed it's advantages.

What Helped Undo Mr.. Fleming.

The defeat of Representative Fleming
for reelection in the Tenth Georgia dis
trict was a surprise to his friends in
the House, but the cause Of it is found
in a little incident which occurred in
the House several months ago.
Judge Fleming is serving his third
term in the House, and is regarded as
one o. the ablest men in the Georgia
delegation, and conscientious worker.
He is a stickler on fine points of par
liamentary law, and being independent
in spirit sometimes disagrees with his
party colleagues, not in politics. but on
questions of parliamentary practice.
1t was this fact that caused his down
fall-not that his course was disap-
proved. but Mr.. Fleming made the mis-
take of crossing swords in parliamentary
combat once with Judge De Almond
Others have from time to time done so,
to their sorrow, and they always shy
at repetition. They have chiefly been
Republicans, and it has come to be n
well-known fact that the man who en-
counters the little giant from Missouri
inevitably gets the worst Of it. He is
one man on the minority side from
whom the members of the majority run.
Judge Fleming. however, dared, and now
in view of his defeat regrets il.
Mr.. De Almond was arguing a pariia-
mentary point and the member from
Georgia took issue with him. When the
:,
nent the latter resembled a 81 Panama
hat which has been out in hard rain

he had at times before differed with Mr..
De Almond. to which the latter retOrted

Endorsement from them. During the col

vigorously applauded by his Democratic
associates. while the Congressional

the Democratic side" greeted Mr.. Elem
ing.
This fact was seized upon by Alr.
Fleming's opponent in his district and
the report of the colloquy was widely
circulated throughout the district. Mr..
Fleming at first denied that the Rec
ord" contained any such statement.
Thereupon his opponent drew the Rec
ord and pointed to the page and para
