THE BRAND TAX MUST BE PAID CattIemen. However, Do Not Think the
 Law to Be Just Measure.

Ndttiemen, HOWeVer, UO NOt lnlnk tne
 Law to Be a Just Measure.
 Only four days more of grace be fore the payment of the brand tax of $2.5O for each and every brand you own. It is matter of pay up or cease the use of the brand in the future. It is the law, and it is doubtless better to pay than to dis pute the point so long as the stat ute remains on the books. We are not prepared to say that the law is wise measure; in manner it may be, and again it may not. It surely cannot be considered anything but double taxation. The cattleman cheerfully pays his taxes the same as any other property holder; in fact, he probably pays more, be- cause his property is passed upon by the board of equalization and is reckoned at a higher valuation than many other classes of taxable prop erty. The taxpayer contributes his just portion, according to his worth, towards the government of his coun- ty and state. For this contribu- tion, on an equitable basis, he ex- poets the same rights and protee- tion. The cattleman, therefore, has a reasonable right to expect privi- leges and protection looked for by the farmer, the miner, the mer- chant, or any other class of people If the rate is not high enough te admit of equal protection to all classes, something is wrong all along the line. The cattlemap should not be called upon to foot the bill, just because his property is in cattle instead of some other form of property, any more than any other class of people or industry Special taxation is not an easy pill to swallow, although it may be ar gued that the class of people So taxed are the sole benefciaries. We do not have to look back very far to see where the property of power full mining companies needed spe- cial protection which the cattlemen helped to pay for. As the burden of the mine-owners is lighter to be- gin with than that of the cattle man, why not have a bullion tax instead of brand tax? The cow man has been an easy target it would seem. Yet, the best thing te do now is to pay your brand tax and then do some tall thinking be fore it is time to elect our next legislature. Ask yourself who the grafters are.-Southwestern Stock man of July 3rd.
 It is said that the cattlemen of Coconino county, or at least a ma jority of them, will refuse to pay the tax on their cattle brands. as required by the new law. There will be a hot legal contest over the matter.

This game was hard-fought from the beginning to the close at no time did Williams have cinch. Once the Railroad boys had the bases full, but the needed hit was not forthcoming. Several times they had men on bases, but were unable to bring them in, though the sympathy of nearly the entire grand-stand was with them and the "rooting" was something fierce. Joe Atwood distinguished himself by driving out the only home-run made in the series of games. Kelly pitched masterful ball, and it was due to the work of the battery, ably seconded by the other imported

Judges: George Wharton, J. B. Jones and George H. Barney. Joe Tanner acted as starter.
 A Imaginable incident occurred in the slow race. The riders changed horses and an Indian happened to get on Phelan's White Tom" Someone frightened the rear girth and when. the word was given to start, MT. Indian touched him with the spurs and the fun commenced. Such bucking is seldom seen. The Indian staid on for a few jumps, but that was all. After another trial the race was declared off by the judges because of some attempt ed crooked work or interference.
 Then came the broncho- busting, in which only three riders figured. The purse of $50 was divided be- tween a Mexican named Chavez and l Ed Geddes, while O'Brien of Belle mont was given the $15 purse from the slow race for his share in the performance.
 From start to finish there was not hitch in the celebration. The finance committee did it's work thoroughly and well, raising sui ficient funds to successfully carry out each event as advertised, while the entertainment committee was right at their heels with each event. The town was crowded with visit ors from all over the territory, who not alone enjoyed the entertain ment, but the delightful climate as we'll. Williams may we'll feel proud of her latest effort.
 This is the first Fourth of July celebration ever given by Williams in which the committee in charge came out ahead. The gentlemen composing the finance committee. of which Dr. Tyroler was chairman: are to be congratulated upon their success and great credit reflects upon them all in the manner in which they carried out the pro- gram. There is now $119O5 in their hands, which will no doubt be used in the near future in bringing off more entertaining events.
 It has just about been decided by the committee to pull off a series of ball games between the Williams, Challender and Railroad teams, positively barring all players who do not make either Challender or Williams their headquarters. The idea is to have a game between two of the clubs played on Sunday, July 19; on July 26 the winning team and the other club are to play-the club carrying off the honors to receive $75 purse, while $25 goes to the second best team. For instance: Should Chal- lender play Williams and Challen- der win, the following Sunday Chal- lender would play the Railroad team. Should Challender again win, the Williams and Railroad teams would have to play off for second money. But should the winner of the first game not win the second game, then second money will be awarded to the win ner of the first game All of the games shall be played at Williams.

Ash Fork appeared to be up against it from the first inning, not being able to do anything with the balls that Kelly (Winslow's crack pitcher, who was imported for the occasion), was handing them. The game was not even interesting.
Williams news., 1903-07-11

The committee having provided a gold medal for the one taking first place, fund was also con tributed by those taking part in the tournament, thus making second and third place worth striving for. After the above shoot sweepstakes event took place, which was won by D. Raudebaugh.
 In the afternoon the following races were run at the track:
 SATURDAYS RACES.
 The first event Was the saddle horse race, quarter of a mile, three heats, in which there were four en- tries-Sands' Silver, Tanners Dick, Miller's Kitty and Jack. Jack won first money, $50; Dick second, $25.
 There were five entries in the quarter mile green horse race - Levengood's Black, O'Brien's Baldy, IT,, McDougall's Red Cloud, Ged- des' Red Frank and Holloway's Blue. Black won first, $15; Blue second, $1O.
 The burro race was won by Gray, $3; Croppie second, $2.
 A special half-mile race for an $S prize was run by eight Supai Indians. Bob first, $5; Blue sec ond, $3.
 In the evening the Indian band gave an open air concert, which was greatly enjoyed, and when darkness came on the fireworks display was successfully carried out by the committee.
 About 9:30 the opera-house be- gan to fill with lovers of the terpsi- chorean art and a delightful time was had by all till late hour.
 SUNDAYS BASEBALL GAMES.
 On Sunday morning all four of the teams competing for the $100 prize were on the ground bright and early. It having been ar ranged that Williams and Ash Fork were to play the first game, the teams took the grounds and opened the contest, their lineup being as follows not in batting order):

This game started out to be an interesting one, and those who stayed through were not disap- pointed. For four innings Ben nett, the Railroads pitcher, held the Pine Tops down to q few scat tering hits, while they were able to pile up eleven runs in the second, third and fourth innings. It was in the first half of the fifth that Bennett let down and the boys from the woods began hitting him with any kind of an old pine stick Anderson was substituted and pulled the railroaders out of the woods onto a safe siding just in time to escape a total wreck. Ben nett, however, squared himself in left field in the afternoon, taking everything in that came his way.
 This left the Williams and Rail- road teams to compete for the $1OO prize in the afternoon. Time was called at about 2::3O o'clock, with the following line-up:

PAlNE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Does a Wondrous Work for a LADY
Who Was Almost Crazed with
Pain and Suffering.

It is well known that terrible rheumatism,
sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any of
the other diseases that af1ct humanity. The
great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel, of Brainerd, Minn., after thirty
years of agonizing fortunes had desire to end
her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she al
most prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven directed, she made use of Palne's
Celery Compound, and~i enjoying true life
once more. She says:-
''For thirty years have been great suf-
ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in the whole body. l began
taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon
found I was much better. Before taking the
Compound, my life was such burden that
almost prayed to lay it down. was bedfast
every two weeks with horrible pain in the
head, back, and neck, until was almost
crazed. am able to do harder work and
more of it today than for twenty-five years. I
am really enjoying life again, thanks to
Paine's Celery Compound. l am satisfied
that my life has been prolonged many years
by its use.''

NEW QUEEN or THE SEA
SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED
Minnesota, the Largest Carrying Yes
Gel IN the World, GIides Into
the Salt Water. s. 81


New London, Conn, April 17.-1n
tators, including many visitors from
New York, Boston and other cities, the
steamship Minnesota, the largest yes
sci ever built in this country and tha
greatest cargo carrier in the world
was launched during the day at the
yards of the Eastern Shipbuilding
company at Crot0n. The sponsor OF
the mammoth ship was Miss Clara
Hill, daughter of J. J. Hill, president
of the Great Northern Steamship com
pany, for whom the vessel was built
to become part of the company's
Pacific and Oriental carrying service
AS the last restraining link that held
the ship to It's place on the ways was
severed Miss Hill broke bottle OF
wine over the steel bow and named
the craft the Minnesota. With glid
ing movement, barely perceptible at
first, the vast mass of steel, weighing
thousands of tons, started down the
ways, and, gathering speed rapidly
plunged into the water with a wave
under her stern that seriously threat
ened the safety of the hundreds CT
small craft in the harbOr.. Although
her momentum seemed sufficient to
carry her far over to the other side OF
the wide harbor, the precautions taken
to slacken her speed were sufficient
to bring her to a standstill within a
mile of the Croton shore. Tugs then
took her In tow and she was guided to
dock, where she will be fitted up for
service.
After the launching luncheon was
served to the guests Of the shipbuild.
