LOCAL OPTION IN GRAHAM
Road No Smoother in the Gila Valley
 Than It Was Here.

The campaign for local option in Graham county is running no more smoothly than did the original move ment in the country districts surround ing Phoenix.
 According to the Tombstone Prospet tor Ostora Gibson, the prohibition lead CT, returned to Tombstone Saturday from Solomonville, where he went tO represent the local optionists in their fight before the board of supervisors, and was at the session of that body when the petition was presented. The board rejected the petition. however, on the grounds that it did not comply with the statutes in regard to definitely describing the limits of the proposed local option districts. As soon as the board took this action. the petitioners began the circulation of another peti- ton and filed it with the board and it was to have been acted upon by the board today, but MT. Gibson was not able to remain there to see the out come.

ABOUT SUGAR BEETS
Information of Local Interest Comes
 From Colorado via. Ecuador.

General Archibald P. Sampson. United States minister to Ecuador. writes the following from Quito to a member of The Republican staff:
 Knowing that you are interested in the succes of the sugar beet" enter prise in Salt River valley, I send you the following extract from a letter just received from my son, who for several years has held a responsible position with the American Beet Sugar company" of Rocky Ford, Colo. He writes me:
 We have contracts with the farmers from Pueblo on the west to Garden City, Kansas, on the east, to grow beets for us. Lands have advanced greatly in value in the Arkansas Val ley since the establishment of this plant.
 ''It is now almost impossible to buy any gcod land near here for less than S100 an acre and from that to as high as s250 an acre. Lands command a good price and ready sale. .g
 Last year we had 1300 contracts with farmers- The highest amount we paid any one of these was $133.06 an acre, gross. Twenty two growers re- ceived over S1O0 an acre: seventeen more over S90.0O an acre: forty-nine more over sS0OO an acre; sixty-one more over s70.00 an acre: one hundred and three more over s60.00 an acre; one hundred and forty three more over s50.00 an acre: one hundred and eighty seven over s4O.00 an acre and so on.
 A few exceptional cases have re- ceived more than any of the foregoing figures, as high as s2O0 an acre. Of course these are rare.
 From the foregoing it will be seen that 5S2 farmers received more than SiC-OO an acre per annum. It would be interesting to put the receipts of a farmer growing wheat oats and corn

IT IS STILL A CORPORATION
Vacation of the Judgment Against
 Union Oil and Gas Co.

The most interesting thing on the civil side of the district court yester- day was the granting of a motion for the dissolution of the Union Oil 6 Gas company, incorporated under the laws of this territory but operating in ono.
 The suit against the company was brought bv Thomas J. Prescott, ther, being no agent in the territory as the law reuuires and that fact was made the ground of complaint. The order of dissolution was made in May of this year.
 The motion for it's vacation was filed a month ago, in which if was asked that the receiver of the company, H.. w. Williamson. who had been ap- pointed by an Ohio court and whose appointment had also been made by the court of this district. be summoned to appear It was alleged by the de- fendant stockholders who desired a vacation of the order that the action for the dissolution had been taken without their knowledge by President Adkins of the company who had al lowed it to be without d representative in the territory on the passage of the law by which the secretary of the ter ritory ceased to be agent for foreign companies.
 It was also alleged that the stock holders had not been represented at the trial: that the attorney who had been sent here to nominally represent the company had not done so in good faith but mad contributed to the judg- ment against the company. It was also alleged that MT. Prescott the nominal plaintiff, had been given shares of stock in the company in consideration cf his services as plaintiff.
 Receiver Williamson arrived here a week ago and about the same time an attorney representing the stockholders, John W. Rely, came to assist Messrs. Street and Alexander who had been re- tained in behalf of the company.
 A hearing of the motion was had and was continued until yesterday when affidavits were filed by both sides, these of the plaintiff setting forth the matter contained in the motion. MT. Williamson was sworn but he added little to the gaitey of the occasion, merely stating that the effort to dis solve the company had been made for the good of the stockholders and not to further the private aims oi Mir. Ad- kns as had been alleged. NIT. Pres colt in his affidavit said that he had received as compensation for his part in the action certain shares of stock of the company. A Imaginable colloquy enSued between him and the counsel for the defense who stated that In the event of his winning the suit which he had brought his shares would be-

ASPEY DIDN'T APPEAR
His Bondsmen Called Upon for Three
 Hundred Dollars.

When tiie case Of A. K. Aspey was called in district court yesterday morn irg the defendant failed to answer. His bond was declared forfeited and q bench warrant was ordered for him. It is said that his present residence is San Francisco.
 The crime for which Aspey was ir- dicted was assault with a deadly weapon. He was member of the fire department and had been on the salary roll of the depal tment for a long time. One night when he was off duty he got drunk. and passing the fruit store of M. Warer shot into the room, presumably with the intention of hit tin the proprietor with whom he had had a few words. This happened more than a year ago, but when the case was called before the following grand jury the prosecuting witness had left the territory and the matter was re- ferred to the next grand jury. He returned short time ago and appear ed before the grand jury which has just adjourned and a true bill was found.
 The amount Of the bond was $500 and the bondsmen are R. A. Warner and Adolph Lebnow. II is said that they Will make an effort to procure the return of Aspey in which case they will probably be released for the amount of the bond less the cost Of bringing the defendant back.
 In connection with the subject of the bond it is said that only one bond Of this kind has ever been collected in this county and that was twenty fcur years ago when Judge Baker, the present district attorney was district attorney. Unless Aspey should ap- pear ne will probably try to repeat his performance of a quarter of a century ago. \

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years great many years doctors pronounced it local disease. and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced It incurable.
