ed as usual that Gila county can hold her own on the riata racket with any secton of the continent. The test consisted in tying two steers in the briefest time. Tom
 McKivett took first prize by tying his two animals in just so seconds.
 Jake McLane came next with q
 record of 3S and A seconds respect
 ively. Jimmy Gibson made the finest single record of the day, tying his first steer in 324, but fell down on the next. Billy Lawrence took 3rd prize on record of 334 and 52 seconds. Charley Gibson had the misfortune of breaking a rope, going over his horses head and cracking the bone in his left arm. Ed Price says the reason he didn't get a prize was because they ran a steer in on him which had not been trained to lie down and fold his legs when a puncher start ed after it. It was fine days work, everything considered.

 Graham Bulletin: Geo. NJ. Nicks, who has lived in Solomon vile during the past year and held the position of jailor and court house janitor, has resigned his position and will go to Duncan, where he will reside and give his attention to good bunch of cattle which he has in that vicinity. Mr. Nicks made a good officer and good citizen of Solomonville. His many friends here will wish him and his family prosperity in the future.
 Gazette: Dr. J. c. Norton, ter ritorial veterinarian, returned yes terday morning from a weeks tour through Cochise county on sanit- ary business. He reports some thing in the way of news that is exceedingly important to the live stock interests of the territory, is not pleasurably interesting. That is the United States department of agriculture had issued an order prohibiting the admission of cattle into the United States from Son ora, the order having gone in effect the 2d inst.
 Star: MT. Frank Hereford, at torney for W. c. Greene's land and cattle interests, has returned from a professional trip to Naco in his clients interest. Mir. Hereford re- ports the pastures on the ranges and stock in fine condition. Plenty of rain has insured abundance of range feed for the coming season. The Copper Queen company has commenced boring for water two miles on this side of Naco, which when developed will be piped into Bisbee, the site of the well being about 500 feet higher than Bisbee. Prosperity is the marked feature of that entire section Everybody seems to have all they can do
 Citizen: The quarantine estab- lished against Sonora cattle on January first is disastrous thing for the cattle business in this sec tion. There are very few cattle for sale in Southern Arizona and the new regulation will put the price of cattle still higher in Arizona, New Mexico and Western Texas. The measure almost puts Tucson cattle commission men out of the business as they have been dealing heavily in Sonora cattle of late I and shipping to California Cattle ! are so scarce here that there is very little business and now that Sonora is shut off, they must con- fine their operations to New Mex leo and Western Texas. There has been some talk of quarantining Southern Arizona cattle. In a recent trip fo Cochise county. Dr. J. c. Norton found ticks in the cat tie there and it is said that he may quarantine this section temporari- ly. Such a measure would kill the cattle business in Southern Ariz- ona for the time being.

at Des Moisaes last week developed the
struggle which chas been pending for
some time in the party in this.state oves
the money plank, and the scsyocates q.
dropping this part of the plank finally
won out after a hard struggle. The
fight started in the selection of'members
OF the committee on resolutions, the
opponents to re-sfhrmation winning
seven of the eleven members, and when
the committee made their report there
was minority and majority seport.
The plank proposed by the minority
was simple ce-affirmation of the Kan.
sasGity platform. The majority went
no eurther in renewing loyalty,to past
principles than the frst paragraph Of
their platform, which read as follows:
"We, the chosen representatives Of the
democratic party in Iowa, in delegate
convention assembled, hereby declare
anew oar faith in the fundamental prin-
ciples of the democratic party and
renew our allegiance thereto"
This plank had the support of the fol.
lowing mem bers of the resolutions com-
mittee: John j. Seerley, Judge D. M.
Thayer, Ex-Governor Horace Boies, Sen.
ator III. @. Bishop, Judge E. II. Caldwell,
John P. Organ and j. Fl. Quick. Those
signing the minority plank, intended to
supplant the FIRST paragraph of the ma.
jority report only, we're: S. A. Brewster,

The fight in favor of the msjority
plank was led by Ex-Governor Horace
Boies, who despite his "A years made q
