Sunday Fire.

Sunday about noon fire destroy
ed the Taxidermy building on the
South side belonging to Fred w.
Rising. The building was occupied
by Mr.. H. H. Mowray, who con-
Quoted a secondhand store. His
loss is total having no insurance,
and will aggregate about 81, 200.
The rear of the building was occu-
pied by Jas. Elliott and family as
living rooms. They lost all their
household goods and personal
effects, escaping with only the
clothing upon their backs. The
volunteer fire department respond
ed promptly, but the fire was al
most beyond control before it was
discovered. However, the depart
ment saved the adjoining building
which is frame livery stable be-
longing to Mr.. Jas. Elliott. We
are informed that Mr.. Rising has
$500 insurance on his building.
He is in Jackson's Hole with a
hunting party and probably does
not vet know of his loss, which
will be about 5000 as the insurance
is little less than half the value
of the building.
The fire is supposed 10 have
originated through some careless
person throwing down match OF
cigarette while amusing themselves
watching a tame bear, which was
chained by the side of the build
ing. This seems to be the mos
probable theory as the hre broke
out under the living apartments Of
Mr.. Elliott. The wind was blow
ing very strong from the south o1
it would have taken the livery
stable in spite of all that coul(
have been done.

Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convenience to have
AT hand reliable remedies for use
in cases of accident and for slight
injuries and ailments. A good
liniment and one that IS fast be-
coming a favorite if not household
necessity is Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. By applying it promptly
to cut, bruise or burn It allays
the pain and causes the injury to
heal in about one-third the time
usually required, and as it is an
antiseptic it prevents any danger
of blood poisoning. When Pain
Balm is kept at hand a sprain may
be treated before Inflammation sets
in, which insures quick re-
covery. For sale by all druggists

MaxweIl's Irrigation Graft.

A Washington, D. C., dispatch states that George H. Maxwell, the irrigation expert, was forced to ac- knowled before the house commit tee On irrigation that he had been for five years receiving $5OOO year each from the Great Northern Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Bur lington railroad companies, and 5000 year from the Rock Island. This money was used to conduct expensive irrigation publications and maintain press bureaus here and in Chicago and New York.
 His acknowledgment created d pronounced sensation among east ern members, following, as it did, the charges of Senator Clark of Wyoming and Hansbrough of North Dakota, that @ lobby was working here for the repeal of the land laws
 Explaining, Maxwell declared that he did not believe the repeal of the desert land laws would en- nance the value of land owned by the railroads, or the value of the land scrip. The repeal of these laws had been part of the irriga- tion project from the first, he said, but it was thought better to post pone action in this direction until after the irrigation act had been secured.

Statistics of Arizona Crime.

A letter from the division of vital statistics of the department of com merce directs attention to the fail ure of the department to receive statistics of crime from most of the counties of Arizona. proper blanks having been furnished. The chief statistican says:
 Few social questions are asked more frequently than, what is the increase of crime? The national census bureau is seeking an answer to this inquiry. It is undertaking to secure q record of all the persons who are sentenced to the various jails, penitentiaries, and other pris- ons in the United States during the year 1904
 ''The wardens of the state prisons and the sheriffs of the counties are being requested to act as special agents to report certain facts con corning every person delivered into their custody. Some counties have not been heard from In some per- haps there are no jails; in others perhaps the local jails are no longer used; in still others the sheriffs have possibly neglected the matter. But the record of the census bureau and the resulting statistics will not be complete until all are heard from, and it is hoped that the press ure of other business will not cause the sheriff of any county to block this most important inquiry"
 There is certainly no reason why Arizona sheriffs should neglect to furnish the desired information.

tween these dates May 1 and De. cember 1 of the same year; and further, that no sheep other than those owned by the Indians be al lowed thereon; also that this priv ilege be allowed to stock cattle which naturally drift upon said portion of the extension and not to cattle to be driven thereon; that the north line of the privilege granted shall be the center of the Little Colorado river, and that stockmen or their cattle shall not go north thereof.
 He is of the opinion that when the final decision in this matter is reached it would be right to lay such decision before the board of supervisors of Coconino county, Flagstaff, Arizona; also to acquaint you with the result; likewise to furnish you list of the stockmen whose cattle are to graze on the ex- tension, in case the privilege rec commended is granted.
 In connection with this subject the office has to state that the state ments and recommendations con tained in the report of Frank Mead, 2, above referred to. have been con sidered very carefully His rec concentrations are approved. You will so advise the proper officials of Coconino county, Arizona. You will also obtain from them a list of the names of stockmen who are to make use of the grazing privileges indicated. When you shall have obtained such list you will furnish this office with copy of the same for use and information. You will also see that no other white men graze stock cattle upon that DOT tion of the addition south of the Little Colorado river other than those included in the list furnished you by the proper officials of said county. They should be permitted to graze. as indicated, their cattle from December l to May 1. After that time you will see that their cattle are removed beyond the linn it's of said addition to the Navajo reservation. During the time that stockmen have the privilege of graz ing upon the lands in question, you will look after the interests of the Indians and see that they are not interfered with. The Indians should be encouraged in the business of stock growing, and in the pursuit of agriculture and gardening where practicable on said addition. Every effort should be made to promote their general welfare and interests.
 You will advise the proper coun ty officials of the action taken by this office upon the matter under consideration, and also the stock men interested in the subject.
 From time to time the office would be pleased to have reports from you as to the success of the methods recommended by Super visor Mead in the matter of joint grazing privileges on lands south of said river.
 Very respectfully,
 A. c. TANNER,
 Acting Commissioner.
