State officers 10 MAKE s~smiannuai reports
OF receipts and expenditures was taken up
and adopted without DIVISION or debate.
The Senate then proceeded 10 rae consid-
alto ot appropriation bills I passed
all OF the House measures Of this character
on the calendar.
The resolution providing for the appoint
meat OF a committee 20 investigate the
sanitary condition OF the State institutions
was adopted, and Senators Farnum, Mueller
and Rainey were appointed the commit
tee. They are 10 serve without Compensa-
ton and pay their OWL expenses.
This mornings session OF the House was
eravened BIZ the discovery that Senate bill
No. 20, TO exempt the capital stock Of nler-
camille corporations from assessment. had
been pushed forward On the calendar. Rep
reseutacve Buddy protested. and on his mo-
ton the bill was ordered 10 the feet of the
calendar. where IL belonged
Senate bill No. 20 was sent TO Springfield
By the big department stores Of Chicago,
and ;hey vased a vigorous campaign 10
pass II. It went through the Senate sew
eral days ago because of the influence eL-
erted in its favor, with but little opposition.
Chairman Suryett OF the House COMMITTEES
on Revenue undertook to check il, but the
mercantile firms built a fire under him and
he was compelled TO surrender.
\ number OF other country members now
took 10 the fight and prevented the adj
vaucing Of the bill out of its regular order.
Speaker pro TEN. Shanahan favored the bill,
and he he'd the House in session last nigh;
until after midnight TO reach a vote: !;
was necessary TO read every other bill or
the calandar 20 get to it. but he performed
the task
An accommodating printer showed up the
bill n the list when the calendar was
made up. and but for the discovery Of the
shift the Dill would have been reached
early to-day.
Had the measure been DISPOSED of. the
House would nave been ready 10 adjourn
at noon to-day. but the determination Of
the friends OF the bill to reach il kept the
House in session all day and into the night

the list of unimportant laws was greatly
augmented by a dreary SUCCESSION OF roll
calls
CANAL APPROPRIATION.
There was another fight over the Illinois
and Michigan Canal appropriation which
came back from the Senate With a couple
of amendments
L. was discovered that one OF these amend
ments practically gives the canal commits
sion immediate control Of the appropriation
and does not require it to make report TO
anv one but the Governor.
This amendment had been slipped IN in the
Senate and no enc knew anything about II
until it was read in the House. Il was
then too late to heat it without killing
the entire bill and the Hous was not will
ing 10 DO this.
Under the original bill the commissioners
were required TO draw their money through
the Auditors office and were not to be per
niItad TO receive any money until they had
accounted for their past expenditures.
Representative Clarence :. barrow and
Peter knolla were Kissed at the afternoon
session Of the House for voting against a
resolution OF thanks TO Speaker Miller for
his courtesy and fairness to the members

handsome watch. ex-speaker Sherman had
been the recipient OF a large picture OF him
self, surrounded BY ElS thirtr-nine loyal ad-
herents. and Clerk John Reeve had been
deco-atsd with a plug hat and a diamond
stud. There had been much experimenting.
and everyone appeared 10 be in the right
humor 10 receive the customary resolution
OF thank 70 the Speaker.

OUR SHERIFF REWARDED.
CIifton-MOrenci Copper Companies Give
 Handsome Watch.

"Wednesday morning Sherif James V. Parks was the recipient of one ot the most handsome watches that has ever been seen in Arizona. The gift came from the Detroit, Arizona and Shannon copper companies, operating in the Clifton Moreuci district, and is given in recognition for services rendered by the sheriff during the strike Of June, 1903.
 The watch is strikingly beautiful, being of pure gold and of the highest grade Waltham and is one Of Tiffany 's most artistic creations. On the front of the watch are the sherifTs initials, "J. V. P" wrought in diamonds and in large script letters. Ninty-four diamonds of the purest grade are set into the initials. They are set in open ings in the lid and can be seen from either side when the watch is open.
 On the inside of the case is the fol- lowing engraved endorsement:
 "Presented by the Arizona, Detroit and Shannon copper companies to Sheriff J. V. Parks in recognition of his service during the strike riots in the Clifton district in June, 1903.
 Sheriff Parks is as proud over the watch as a small boy with his first long pants. The sheriff almost re- fuses to wear the watch thinking he might loose it. It is fitting testi- monial to a popular officer who has the esteem and good wishes Of all in Graham county bulletin.
