Meetlnf Of Stockmen.

Pursuant to the call of the chair man, their will be a meeting of the live stock sanitary board held in Tue son, October 12th, 1903. A number of stockmen in various parts of the terri tory have expressed the wish of meet ing the board to discuss matters of general interest on live stock lines at that time.
 The Elks lodge at Tucson has very cOurteously extended the use of their club rooms for this meeting. The sanitary board extends cordial in- vitation to all stockmen to attend, as much benefit is expected to be derived from the exchange of ideas of the con- ditions existing in the different local ities.
 It is intended that the next meet ing of the board will be held in the northern part of the territory so that stockmen from all sections can dis cuss the needs of the various locali- ties with the board.

at me and the Mission 1 represent as being responsible for the new order of things.
 We believe this wholesome cOmpeti- tion is ''the beginning of the end" of the robbery and other evils connected with trading posts, to which our In- dians have been so long exposed.
 We send these statements forth, hoping they may find their way into the hands, not only of our friends who are interested in the work we are trying to do for the Indians, but also in the hands of the traders, especially the guilty ones.
 Neither this Mission nor myself, has any financial interest in any trading post or any trading business. We are not here to buy and sell and get gain, but to guide these people out of the darkness of heathenism and the hard conditions which accompany it, and to this end we claim right to inter- est and induce honorable men, men of Christian integrity. to embark in the trading business as being one of the most effective ways of bringing temporal relief to our Indians. Let the traders who may read these state ments, face the accusations and de- eide as to their own guilt or in- nOcence, and let the guilty, of whom there are not few, understand that the time has come for other measures than appealing to their consciences.
 For the defenceless Indian, I am, sincerely, w. R. JOHNSTON. Tolchaco Arizona, via Canyon Diablo.

The Phoenix Republican says: There have been stories told in Phoenix papers, other than The Re- publican that ex-Delegate Mark Smith and Delegate J. F. Wilson were in favor of any old kind of statehood for Arizona, even by making the territory tail to the New Mexico kite. These stories emanated from purported interviews, published by the Washington Post.
 Nobody took the stories seriously but MT. L. R. Kruger, who is prom inent in democratic politics, thought yesterday that the matter ought to be cleared up and he telegraphed to both the ex-delegate and Delegate Wilson for the statements.
 The reply of Mir. Smith is as follows: "Cynthiana, Ky, Sept. Il s. R. Kruger Phoenix A. T.:
