CLEAN UP.

The sanitary committee Of the
city council has issued an order
that, after March I, the throwing
of paper and all kinds of rubbish
into the streets and alleys will be
strictly prohibited, and transgress-
ors Of the order viii be punished to
the full extent Of of the law.
1t is a good order. DR.. Dawson
chairman of the committee, in
forms us that it will be carried out
to the letter. Get to thinking
about this and govern yourself ac-
cordingly.
The streets and alleys Of the
city have been made a dumping
ground Of rubbish long enough.
Such a condition is a disgrace to
any self-respecting town and there
is not the slightest reason for toler-
ating it.
Clean up the town and keep it
clean. Civic pride should impel
every citizen to join with the au-
thorities in the enforcement
Of the law, Not only civic
pride, but also the common
est sanitary principles and the
ordinary rules Of cleanliness and
decency should contribute to the
carrying out Of the order.
The habit Of throwing paper and
all sorts Of trash into tie streets is
a relic Of village life that shouldno
longer exist in city of Chickasha'
proportions.
Cleanliness is rmak of civiliza-
ton. The savage, as a rule, is not
scrupulous as to his personal clean
liness or that Of his surroundings.
1t is all a matter of taste in a prim-
tive state Of society, but, with ad.

summer school, the circular issued
says: $50 many changes have been
made in the methods of instruction in
all branches taught in the public
schools within the past few years that
it has become imperative on the part
of every progressive teacher to spend
a part of the long vacation in system
attic study and review. The large in
crease in attendance on the summer
sessions of both universities and normal
schools throughout the country from
year to year conclusively proves the
wisdom of the summer session and
makes plain the professional spirit
which animates the great body of
teachers in the United States. Every
teacher also recognizes the great bene-
fit derived from meeting his fellow
teachers and exchanging ideas on edu-
cational subjects and thus more thor
oughly unifying and improving the
work of the public schools. The sum-
mer session of the Northern Arizona
Normal school not only gives every
progressive teacher an opportunity to
take a thorough review in subject mat
ter branches, before the territorial
teachers examination in September,
but also gives a splendid opportunity
to take a systematic course of study in

FLAGSTAFF SUMNER SCHOOL
President Taylor Touring the Terri
tory in Its Interest.

Professor A. N. Taylor, president of
the Northern Arizona Normal school,
spent yesterday in Phoenix and will
leave today for Globe and southern Ari-
zone, in the interest of the summer
school for teachers, conducted under
the auspices of the Northern normal.
The Flagstaff summer school is the
only institution of the kind in Arizona
and in view OF the fact that many of
the Arizona teachers attend summer
schools elsewhere, Professor Taylor is
DESTROYS of getting as many of them as
possible to patronize home industry.
The course of study is an excellent one.
and Flagstaff as a summer residence
has many attractions beside, notably
it's nearness to the Grand canyon,
which often can be reached by special
excursions, the nearby petrified forest,
cliff dwellings, etc, beside an incom-
parable summer climate.
Professor Taylor will return to Phoe-
nix within ten days and hopes then to
meet all the Phoenix teachers and have
a heart to heart talk about summer

The only case in the United States
court yesterday was that of the gov
eminent against w. T. Armstrong, for
mer sheriff of ella county, charged
with taking a COW belonging to Victor,
an Apache of the White Mountain res
ervation. This alleged offense was
committed in 1901.
The trial began on Wednesday after
noon and occupied all of yesterday
The evidence was concluded late in the
afternoon, the jury was instructed and
the opening argument was made.
There was great deal of light shed
IN the course of the day on the subject
of brands and earmarks and other
means of distinguishing the cattle of
one man from those of another.
The only testimony of more than usual
interest was that of c. F. Coehen, of
Globe, one of the witnesses for the
defense. He was asked the usual
questions about the marks and brands
of the cattle in that neighborhood. He
was also asked if the Indians were in
the habit Of stealing cattle from each
other. He replied that he had heard of
no instance of that kind. Then he was
esked if the whites were in the habit of
stealing from the Indians, to which his
reply was not audible and the iuterrog-
atory was not pressed. He was asked
if he was not given to spending much
OF his time at Globe. and If so. where

THE TRIAL OF zAPEDA


The trial of Frank D. Zapeda, indict-
ed for the murder of Harry Mcdonald
at Aqua Caliente, was yesterday set
for April e. This order of the court
followed the overruling of a demurrer
which had been submitted without ar
gument and that followed Zapeda s
plea of not guilty to the indictment.
Juan, the Pima Indian who had been
indicted the day before for the theft
of a pony, also pleaded not guilty and
his trial was set for next Tuesday.
The grand jury brought in another
bunch of indictments. There was one
each against Jesus Bezurano and Jose
Lopez, who had co-operated in the theft
of couple of horses which had been
left tied at the courthouse plaza. Mi
guel Hernandez was indicted for burg
larry. He is the man who robbed a
butcher shop at Tempe not long ago.
Miguel Vega was indicted for an as
sault with deadly weapon. The case
against Juan Bravo, who is. by the
way, no relation to the Miss Bravo, IA
nous in Arizona democratic politics,
was ignored.
The grand jury is now rot far from
the end of the criminal business and
will have little else to do than to in
vestigate the county offices. But that
may not be done at the present term.

A INNING EXCHANGE
Proposed Enterprise for Furthefins
Legitimate Mining Investments,

]. Hermann Aagaard is engaged in
the organization of q mining exchange
in this city, that if properly conducted
ought to result in much good to those
who are interested locally in the legiti-
mate development of good mines.
Mr.. Aagaard's method Is, briefly stat
ed, to get all the local companies possi-
BILE, that will bear a rigid examination
both as to management and mine, to
list their properties with him and place
their treasury stock on sale through the
exchange, being charged a very reason
able percentage for the sale OF their
stock He has been actively pursuing
this enterprise but a very few days, and
has already secured the listing of a
half dozen properties that ne considers
satisfactory.
One of the things he will prevent
through his plan is the peddling of pro-
moters' stock in competition with the
treasury stock of any property listed.
No property will be listed unless the
promoters stock is pooled or placed
securely off the market so II cannot
compete with treasury sales. The
mines and management must all be
approved by the exchange, else they
will not be listed. SO that when a pros
pective investor enters the Office he
will have assurance that all the stock
offered will be in reputable enterprises.
Then he can investigate the prospects
of each and make his own choice for
investment. Favoritism will be shown
to no particular enterprise. The per-
centage will accrue to the exchange as
rapidly from one as another. In addi-
ton, Mr.. Aagaard proposes to get out
weekly market letter showing stock
movements, the progress of develop
ment on all Lifted properties and do a
reasonable amount of advertising for
each of them. the exchange being also
sort of information bureau for an
swering inquiries concerning these
mines and in every way possible pro-
noting the interest of it's patrons In a

CATTLE STEALING CHARGED
An Alleged Rustler Appreciated by
Ranger Pearee and Inspector Scott.

Ranger Joe Pearce of Apache county,
live stock sanitary board for the Tonic
basin. arrived here yesterday to report
to the board theV circumstances of an
arrest. they made under the new live
stock law, the enforcement of which Is
now gaining more active support from
the local justices of the peace than
formerly.
Report had been made to the board
that one Carl Wiltbank, now going un-
der the name of Andy Long, had been
stealing cattle in ella county and they
were directed to investigate the matter.
On March 80 they found in Longs pas
ture on Tonic creek six newly branded
motherless calves, bearing the flying
w brand, owned by Long. They seized
the calves and advertised their seizure
to be sold under the regulations Of
the 1--we Stock Sanitary board on April
II. The sale was made, Long bidding;
them in himself. Long, or Wiltbank.
was then arrested on another charge
for grand larceny, the incident alleged
being the stealing of a yearling from
William Young ST.. of Young, Arizona.
better known as Pleasant Valley. His
preliminary hearing was set for April
20, and in the meantime he was re-
leased on giving bond for $500. Ben
Nail and George Hazelwood being the
sureties.
Wiltbank is said to be under indict-
ment in Graham county for grand lar
ceny, the charge being cattle stealing
case. Ranger Pearce says that Wilt
bank has operated under three or four
assumed names and the authorities
have been trying for a number Of
years to get their hands on him. This
is the first time they have had him in
custody. he having suddenly left the
country when indicted in Graham
county.
Hitherto some of the justices of the
peace in the territory have seemingly
turned a cold shoulder on the sanitary
law, but Justice r. H. Samuels, of
Young, has taken a firm stand in sup
port of it and the rangers and cattle
inspectors feel that in him they will be
ably supported in its enforcement.
