 Fifth and Sixth avenues. Mir. San- ders was born in Fort Ooyington, N. Y., in 1889, and served during the civil war in Company c of the First Ohio artillery.

 Geo. Morse, the Arizola cattleman, was in Florence Wednesday, and in- formed us that he had lost seventeen head of cattle within the two weeks just past. He had a veterinary sur. geon perform au autopsy on one of the dead cows to determine the cause of death. The doctor found that the bos- soms of an innocent looking little herb which grows along the banks of the Florence canal, had caused the mortal ity among Mir. Morse's herd. This lit tie weed is called in common parlauee, rabbit brush. The doctor told Mr. Morse the botanical name of it but it was so long George could not carry 1t on his horse and We will have to send a freight team after 1t before we can give it to our readers. The cows seem to be fond of the withered blossoms of this long-named plant and eat all they can flnd of them. The fiber of the blossoms ems to be indigestible and balls up in the front Yerauda Of the stomach, so to speak. This puts the general digestive organs out of business, and inflammation of the stomach sets in, and life ''sets oup' for parts unknown. Cattlemen should make an effort to destroy this rabbit brush" before it spreads over large Blade.

MIGRATORY SHEEP QUESTION
Taxation of Tansient Sheep and Injury
 to Cattle Interests |,

The Cave Creek correspondent of
 the Phoenix Republican writes:
 Cave Creek is now at it's best and
 busiest. There are two shearing plants
 here--the hand, or blade shearing of
 forty stalls, and as many men of J. D.
 Houck, and the machine shearipg of
 American company, of Chicago. The latter has to wait until the weather
 moderates, as 1t is too cold to turn the sheep out so close-clipped as by the
 machine. There are men who insist on machine shearing, and others as strenuously on blade shearing. How ever the machine men are confident tly
 waiting their turn and warmer weather both sure to come soon.
 There is now white pueblo around the station sheltering nearly & hundred 5hearerS, and there are as many sheep herders in the biyouac here every night after supplies. uouck is cer. tainIy doing an enormous business both in dry and wet goods, as also in hay and grain. His wagons are on the road every day coming in, or going down after supplies.
 Last year the creek from here to it's head was white with sheep, and so also was the region between here and the Verde. Now, on account of the drouth and the scarcity of feed in this vicinity, the sheep bands are mostly between the Verde and the Mazatzal range. This is a situation very much to the satisfaction of Logan Morris and James Gibson, whose cattle seem to be doing we'll. But, as expected, the sheep have driven the cattle out. There is not one steer here now to twenty steers, ten and fifteen years ago. Section 3S55 of the laws of 1901 was enacted for the benefit of this and other counties whose cattle valuation has been diminished by sheep invasion, whereby transient sheep herds can be assessed while here for shearing and ambing. Last year Judge Mccormick sent great many reports of the sort to the county treasurer; the sheep men were entirely willing to comply with it. He expects the same willing ness this year, and to make a greater of reports as the sheep come in for shearing. There may be re- luctance on the part of those inclined to lay too great stress on the claimed exemption of lambs. To what extent section 1855 compensates for the enor mously diminished cattle taxation we do not know; but some taxpayers up here are apprehensive and request me as one of the Republican staff to ask the county board to inquire into the matter; also to suggest to the assessor and prosecuting attorney that they make such investigations as may prevent any deficiency in this tax this year. These reports will be made from Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe. as well as from Cave Greek.

Borough Council Doings.

The regular meeting Of the Borough
Council was held Tuesday evening. Coun-
cilmen Leap, Jordan, Hammitt and Cook
were present and Mayor Elkinton presid-
ed.
The finance committee reported 1925 O
in the treasury, with $359.lS delinquent
taxes.
Mr.. Jordan reported that the street
lights were lighted Tuesday night for the
first time for over a month.
Mr.. Cook reported that the side walks
on South Broad Street were III bad BON
ditions last week during the thaw, and
needed cinders badly SO workmen could
ride their wheels and women walk with
out having to tie their oyershoes on when
the next thaw comes. Cinders could
o be got and it might be well to al
so repair the streets where needed, as
larger loads could be carted when the
ground was frozen. Mayor Elkinton stat
ed that the Borough was stopped from
carting cinders last fall.
W. S. Morrison, who was present. stat
ed that cinders could be had to repair the
side walks first and the road next where
most travelled by workmen.
As it was thought to be better to have
the cinders put on after the ground had
thawed and settled action to have then
carted at once was deferred.
J. D. Whitaker was present and stated
that he had several cart loads of ashes
which he would like put on the sidewalk
along his properties. Having offered the
material he did not think he should be
required to hire a team to haul them.
Current bills were ordered paid, among
the number being one for S2l.S4, for food
and attendance upon ]. Hoover M%union's
family while a child had diptheria.
While it was an extraordinary bill, yet
its payment may have hindered a much
greater cost by the spread of the disease.
After paying bills presented about 1857
was left in the treasury. The question
arose whether the $500 note in bank, due,
should be reduced or renewed. On mo-
ton it was ordered renewed for IL month.
1t was done so the road scraper could be
paid for.
The bond of Joseph Harper, deputy
collector, for $500, was read and approx
ed.
Collector Edward Justice presented his
annual report to the Council. 1t was de-
cided that the bills paid Tuesday evening
should be in the statement before publics-
ton. The tax budget for next year was
discussed but no action taken.
Council adjourned for one week to es-
p%ecially discuss proposed ordinances.

Special To The Record.

AS residents and tax paye2s in u
beautiful little town, we would like to
ask a question through the columns Of your
paper, Of anyone, or to whom it may con.
Germ. We naturally suppose that some
of our borough councilmen might become
interested in what we may say, but still
this is a question with us, as we do not
reside on Broad or Main Streets. If we
did, there is no question with us, but
what our pavements would be scraped
clean of sno during every such storm
where such service were necessary. We
live on Delaware Avenue, and of course
it is not required to run a snow scraper
over our footwalks and remove some lit
tie snow therefrom, SO that some of our
most aged and respected citizens of our
borough might get out OF their front CATER
and into the more popular and business
section without having to wade shoe top
deep in snow. We do not ask the our
cilmen of our borough to scrape the snow
from our footpaths, nor to place a small
trunk along Delaware Avenue where it
might possibly ? keep some of the water
out OF our cellars as the snow melts away
from said footpaths, for we think that our
borough taxes are high enough now with
out placing them to any extra expense
We can get something to eat, without
having any NOW removed, as our mer-
chants, butchers and bakers are all very
accommodating persons, and drive right
to our curb, for orders and deliver goods,
but there are times when an old lady,
who has been making daily visits to a
sick grandchild nearly all winter, would
like to think, that she, in her old age.

had shoveled the snow from his front
