An Arlxe~s JsdSe ssed.

Some months ago Conroy appeared in the district court of Pima county and was ordered by Judge Davis to surrender a certain document. In- stead of obeying the order, it is said, he enclosed the document in question in a envelope and mailed it to his wife at Los Angeles. Upon hearing ofthis, Judge Davis ordered that the letter be withdrawn from the post office. This was done. Next day Mir. Conroy made some remarks to the judge in court that were deemed disrespectful aud he was fined $lOO for contempt.
 Mir. Conroy made complaint to the department of justice at Washington and special agent of the attorney general of the United States appeared in Tucson to make an investigation of the matter. The visitor examined the court records, and also sought infor- nation at the post office regarding the withdrawal of the letter that Mir. Con- roy mailed to his wife.

Report of the Live stock cenvsntlea.

The sixth annual report of the Ma tional Live Stock Association has been received. It is a handsome vol tune of nearly 800 pages and it ad- dition in more ways than one to any stockman's library. The pages tell the story of the years work by the officers of the association and also contain the proceedings of the sixth annual convention, which was held in Kansas City, Jan. B to l6, 1903. The accomplishments of this association especially in the way of national legis- lation, shows the power it yields for the good of it's membership as we'll as for the public. Not alone is it's power felt because it represents S4, 800, ,OO0,- 900 of invested capital, but because every demand it makes of state or national legislators has the welfare of the public coupled with it, for it is ever alert to protect the herds from disease, and is also strong oppon- ent to merging of the packing inter-  ests of the country, thus protecting the public from the baneful effects of a meat combine. The Kansas City convention was a very important one, and the proceedings of every session are fully reported. In addition the volume contains the portraits of several score of stockmen who have been prominent in the work of the as- sociation the past year. Several of the most important bulletins issued by the association; the brief filed in the United States Supreme Court in the noted interstate live stock inspection case, which results in national legis- lation in the interest of the stockmen, and closes with very valuable statis- tics relative to the live stock industry. The report is distributed free to the members, and limited number can be obtained by stockmen who are inter ested in the work of the associate by remitting 9 cents to c. F. Martin, secretary, Denver, Colo.

This b no Dream.

''That the Central Arizona railroad will be built from Flagtaff to Jerome within the next twelve months is an assured fact. This road will pass through the fertile valley ofthe Verde, and Flagstaff will receive the products of one hundred thousand acres of the rich soil of Arizona. Flagstaff will not only be the greatest market place in Northern Arizona, but it will be the commercial city of the territory. This is no dream. We have beef cat- tie, mutton, wool, lumber, building stone, etc., to sell, and all we need is more railroads to carry these things to other markets. ."-Jerome News.
