THIS county auu one WHOSE honesty
and integrity cannot be questioned.
Judge Doan issued an injunction
in SoIomonville on Monday restrain
ing the Arizona & Eastern railroai
from interfering IN any way with the
construction of the Phenix & Eastern
railroad. The A. & E. company, it is
charged, attempted to take possession
of the line of the P. & E. and have
had force of men at work grading
on it.
The vote for Carnival Queen at two
o'clock this afternoon stood as fol-
lows: Miss Della Russell, 35; Maud
Clark, Al; Henrietta Hartman 20;
scattering IL. Voting has just COM
menced and there seems to be a great
deal of interest taken in it, and there
is prospect of an exciting and friend
ly contest.

Figures compiled by the general
passenger agent of the Santa Fe show
an enormous increase in west bound
passenger travel for the month of
March over that of the same month in
1903. The company brought 6399

thirty one days of last month. For
the same period last year the number

and second class passengers.
DR.. Nestor A. Young. aud his son,
W. q. Young, who have been in this
section for several days, left today
for the east. DR.. Young is very prom
inent in mining circles. He made an
examination of the United Verde
mine for W. A. Clark, prior TO its
being purchased by the latter, his re-
port being favorable. DR.. Young is
at the present time prominently
identified with the mining interests
of this section.
Bradstreet's report for March says
that the crop prospects for Southern
California improved materially dur
ing past month. 1t was a month of
generous rain and good growing
weather. The grain crop will be
only fair in most favored sections,
but good crop of hay is assured and
prospects are now good for normal
acreage planting to beats and beans.
Apricots are in bloom and large
yields of deciduous fruits and grapes
are expected by the growers.
A telegram from Kingman says that
corporation has been organized to
build a railroad from Peach Springs
on the Santa Fe Pacific railroad to
Diamond Canyons distance Of twenty
miles. The road will traverse one of
the most rugged and picturesque
canyon countries between the Gate OF
LAHORE and Black Canyon. 1t will run
to the water's edge and will afford
tourists a view of the deepest part
of the great canyon from the bottom.
At the river, a towering peak affords
a view of the wonderful volcanic cones
on the Tonaweap plateau and the cas-
tellated cliffs of the Grand Canyon for
more than fifty miles.
District Attorney f. Nj. Doe, of
Coconino county, states that in the
event that Coconino county, upon
proper showing by Mr.. Buggeln.
should bring suit and revoke the
charter given R. H. Cameron and as
sociates, who are operating the Bright
Angel trail, he would make an effort
to have the county conduct the trail
and collect the tolls. In that event
all rivalry would be stopped and the
revenue on toll collections would go a
long way toward paying the county
Indebtedness. The railroad company
is trying to prevent Cameron from
maintaining his toll gates on the
Bright Angel trail.
Speaking of the closing night of the
carnival at Albuquerque the Journal
of that city says: at is worth while
to note that the whole week has been
orderly in every way. No better
behaved set of people ever invaded
albuquerque than Mr.. Reiss' Carnival
company. The police have not re-
ported single arrest as a result of
the presence of the carnival, and too
much cannot be said of the high char
acter of the attractions. Mr.. Reiss
will find ready welcome in Albu-
querque when he returns to winter
quarters. The company will leave
early this morning in a special train
of thirty cars, for Ell Paso, where they
will appear under the auspices of the
Eagles lodge"
II. W. Laskey & Co., are mourning
the loss of several dollars worth of
clothing and about $40 in good cold
cash. This morning a Mexican came
into the store and purchased about sl5
worth of clothing and presented il
payment a check from a we'll known
gentleman whose check is always
good. Mr.. Laskey took out the
amount of the purchase and returned
the Mexican the balance, some Si5, in
cash. As soon as the bank opened Mr..
Laskey presented the check and was
informed that the check had been
stolen from the owner and that pay
ment had been stopped on it. The Off
GERS were at once notified but the
search for the Mexican so far has
proved fruitless.
