lender. Bobby" Burns, ex-logger, is acting as brakeman on this run, and is a good 'un, too. At Chal- lender we changed cars; that is, we changed from Santa Fe caboose to a Saginaw log car, and though Engineer Harry Schlee shot us through the air at times like sky rocket, he is both watchful and careful, and we greatly enjoyed the ride as far as Boyce's, where we alighted and took to the woods.
 At the camp there we took din ner with Chef Jack Keegan and also had the pleasure of meeting Blacksmith Elmer Langin and Sta bleman Mike Schmuck.
 From that camp we journeyed to McCormick's and thence to Camp No. 3, having spent the entire after noon in the heart of nature and ac complished our purpose of meeting and talking with the voters.

 Last Saturday at Boyce's ranch John Baumgartner met with serious accident He is cutting timber under contract in that vicinity, and while in the woods alone almost severed two toes from his right foot by glancing blow of his axe He walked into camp and, the accident having happened just at noon, found several of the boys there who assisted in binding up the injured toes. Elmer Lan- gin acted as chief surgeon and did a very successful job
 George Mccormick, who has been cutting timber off Barney Fletcher's homestead under contract, this week completed operations at that point.
 Henry Hill is now employed at Germans old camp. where he is operating a "wheel." We don't mean a roulette layout, but two large wheels by which logs are "snaked" about.

A Big Cattle Deal.

On Monday of this week another large cattle deal took place here by which Sheriff James A. Johnson purchased of Dr. P. A. Melick a ranch at Maine, the Bow-B ranch, better known as the old Bennett place, and the Bar Cross ranch, Tom Wagner's old headquarters, down on the rim, and all the cattle and appurtenances thereto. We are not at liberty to state the amount involved in the transac- tion, but may say that it runs we'll up into the five figures.
 The country around the Bar Cross ranch is an ideal grazing sec tion with good water supply already developed and many further op- portunities. Mir Johnson recently embarked in the business out from Flagstaff on a small scale, and this step is more in the right line. Jim knows the business and we predict for him unqualified success.
 Herb Yoder, who was connected with Dr. Melick in the business, will remain at the ranch for the next few weeks until the new owner has thinps in pood runninp order

PLEA AGAINST JOlNTURE
Gov. Brodie's Report to the Sec
 retary of the Interior

Washington, Oct. >23.-The an- nual report of the governor of Ari zona to the secretary of the inte- rior, says the territorial population has increased considerably and that the total population now is between 165,OOO and 10000. It expresses a desire on the part of the people of Arizona for statehood but says finding themselves con- fronted with plan to unite their territory with New Mexico the peo- pie of Arizona have protested wig orously and will continue to do so until they have defeated this re- pugnant scheme. They would de- sire that their commonwealth re- main a territory indefinitely rather than be joined with New Mexico" The governor adds his belief that the merger would not be accepta- ble to the mass of the people of either territory.
 The report says that the floating indebtedness of Arizona, which on June 30. 1903, was $92,341, has been wiped out and a balance of $20,349 remained in the general fund at the .close of the last fiscal year. Taxable property in the ter ritory has gained $l,9S1 ,5O5 dur ing the year. The total taxable property of the various counties is $45. .O69,545. Substantial progress in other directions is reported.
