BUSINESS MEN ELECT OFFICERS.
A Lively Meeting is Held and Very Important
Matters Considered.

At the Business Mems association
meeting Monday night the annual cleo
ton was held and new set of officers
were elected for tine ensuing year as

Wolbert, DR.. A. H. Stockham. F. G.
Bennett. George Stephan, C. H. Stew
art, John Travis and J. E. Hillman,
directors.
While the balloting at times was
quite spirited and considerable interest
taken in the respective candidates
everything passed off with the best of
humor prevailing.
During the meeting the matter of
organizing Beet Growers association
was discussed and generally agreed that
it would be the proper thing and action
with this end in view was taken.
The advertising of Delta and Delta
county was perhaps the most impor-
tant question discussed during the
evening and committee consisting Of
DR.. A. H. Stockham, T. X. Seaton and
George Stephan were appointed to
solicit more funds. It was the unani-
nous opinion Of the association that at
least thousand dollars should be
raised for this purpose.
After considering and acting upon
many other minor matters the meeting
adjourned about 10 O'Clock.

CASE DISMISSED. J.
District Court is Reversed on Tech.
nicaI Grounds.

Monday the state supreme court took
final and decisive action in what is gen
orally known as the Delta bank robbers,
case, whereby James Greenwood. Tom
Smith, Roll McAllistcr and George
Young were accused of attempting 20
burglarize the First National bank OF
this place in January, 1903. .~.-
The accused secured their liberty
purely upon technical grounds, therebe-
ing thirty. three assignments of error
credited to the lower court. The decis-
ion of the supreme court is said to carry
with it an important legal doctrine =
to what really constitutes charges Of
burglary. In reversing the decision Of
the district court no notation was made
concerning new trial, consequently al
Of the accused parties have been given
their liberty and the charges against
them dismissed.
This case and trial has been Of mose
than usual interest on account Of Ill the
parties being well known in Delta and
having relatives and associates here.

MARKETS AGAIN HIGHER.
Decrease in Receipts at all Markets Strong De.
mand and Good Cattle Advanced Materially.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS, Dec.
All markets reported light run of
cattle last week. Receipts here were
fair but not as heavy as the week be-
fore This decrease in the run was due
largely to the fact that it was Thanks
giving week and shippers did not send
their stuff in as they figured that the
demand would be light. Trade here,
however, was brisk and the demand
good for everything offered. A good
many more cattle could have been dis
posed of to advantage. Average quail
ty was rather better than the proceed
ing week and buyers were all wanting
the good cattle. The result was higher
prices almost every day and good cattle
closed 25 to 4Oc higher thad the proceed
ing week. Common stuff was active
and strong but did not advance so ma
terially. Beef steers were in fair sup
ply but still short Of the demand. Pack
ers bought liberally and anything fit for
the block was quickly taken. Choice
steers sold at $4, the record price paid
in several weeks, and the bulk of the
business was done at $3.50 to 1885.
Cows also sold well and not enough
good ones offered. Best brought s3hnd
prices ranged down to $2. 40 on the fair
to good. Medium to fair cows sold
largely at $2. % to $40 with Gamers at
s2.25 down. Bulls and veals were in
fair supply and sold about steady all
week. Good feeders and stockers sold
readily and well and even the common
kinds were wanted. Country demand
was strong and bulk of the stuff went
direct to the feed lots. Best dehorned
steers sold at IS. 70 to $s.75 with medi-
um kinds at e2.s0 to 1886 and common

. MODIFICATION FOR sTOCKMEN.
Colorado Will Get First Alteration from Federal
Goyernment-L Local Conditions Considered.

One of the features of the recent con-
ference at Glenwood Springs between
the cattlemen and Chief Forester Gif-
ford Pinchot concerning grazing fees
was the announcement that the govern
ment will first give its attention to the
protection of the small stock owner, on
the theory that the large grower is u.s.
ually capable of taking care of himself.
Although Mr.. Pinchot declared that
the fees would not be abolished, he
showed disposition to meet the stock
men fairly on complaints regarding the
regulations and promised numerous mod
ifcations to suit local conditions. The
forest rangers are to enforce the state
live stock laws as well as the federal
regulations, which will give stockmen
on reserves protection that they never
have enjoyed before. Drift fences will
be permitted where they will benefit
community of stockmen by keeping the
cattle from straying too far. Stockmen
living adjacent to reserves will be per-
mitted to fence $40 acres for protection
from range stock.
The lowest grazing fee. 20 to Csc per
head will be granted in Colorado. with
further reductions as follows: All ap-
plications received will be classified &C.
cording to the number of head. When
all are received the list will be cut in
Two in the middle. the part containing
tie lower numbers to be entitled tohalf
the regular fee, and that part contain
ing the larger numbers to pay half fee
on portion equal to the highest num-
Der in the lower first and full fee for
the balance.
Mr., Pinchot further announced that
the president is IN favor Of the whole
public rSNge being placed On the same
hasb - rsszves. and it i believed that

''All contributions by corporations to

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
The Monroe doctrine is dealt with at
length. The president probably has the
Venezuelan problem in mind, as he
writes: Under no circumstances will

sion. Moreover, we must make it evil
dent that we DO not intend to permit
the Monroe doctrine to be used by any
nation on this continent - . shield to

and Charles Goldman, waited on the
board of supervisors yesterday and
presented their cause. It was learned
that one member of the board of sup
ervisors was doubtful concerning the
advisability of making any appoint
ment. He had even gone so far as to
suggest the advisability of having the
office of commissioner of immigration
repealed. believing that the country
had received no benefit for the money
spent. The committee protested very
urgently against such action and point
ed out that even though results had
been meager there were reasons for it
and not the least of them was the fact
that until recently the county had but
little it could consistently talk about
except climate. There is now a con-
dition very much changed by the as
surance of the Roosevelt reservoir, and
the probability of two transcontinental
railroads with a beet sugar facory at
an early day and other smaller but fav-
orable considerations too numerous to
mention. There are reasons now that
justify the immigration commissioner
the real estate agent and even the
boomer, in putting forth all possible
inducements.
The supervisors took the matter I'M
der advisement but have given no de-
cision.

InnIcRArION COMMISSIONER
A Movement for the Appointment of
c. A. Van der Veer.

There is a movement on foot for the
appointment of Charles a. Van der
Veer to the position of immigration
commissioner for Maricopa county.
The movement is backed by the active
membership of the board of trade and
is not a political enterprise in any par
ticular. AS is we'll known the position
is one that properly administered is
of no pecuniary profit to the holder Of
the office as the office was created with
the understanding that the salary at
tached would be spent entirely for adj
vertising the resources of the county
and encouraging immigration.
a committee was appointed recently
to take the matter up with the board
of supervisors and urge the appoint
ment of Mr. Van der Veer for the rea-
son that he is favorably situated for
the performance of the duties of the
office. AS secretary of the board of
trade he is doing just that sort of work
anyhow, with the small resources af-
forded by the board, and is in touch
with the proper channels for inducing
Further, Mr.. Van der
Neer has had a great deal of expert

THE REVIVAL SERVICES
DR.. Smiley on the Simplicity Of the
Plan OF Salvation.

Last night the Presbyterian church
was we'll filled. A brief song service
preceded the discourse. DR.. Smiley
chose THE Simplicity of the Plan of
Salvation" as his theme. He spoke in
substance about as follows: I wish
to enter no discussion of theology or
doctrine. 1 wish to stay close to the
book. In it the gospel plan is plain.
If we stay close with the book we will
see the simplicity of this salvation.
Some confuse the creeds and machin-
cry of the church with the plan of sal
walton. All you need to know is that
you are a sinner and need a savior
and that Jesus is able to save you.
Then you become a Christian. Do not
let the machinery Of the church con-
fuse you. Look to the power that
moves the machinery.
when we get down to the plan of
salvation as it was before man had
anything to do with it we find it sim
pie. We have enough to do to con-

FRENZIED FINANCE
LawsOn's Double and an AmaIgam-
ated Agent Visit Prescott.

'The eyes of eastern capitalists are
upon Arizona, as the future copper
producer of the United Ctates," re-
marked Austin H. Brown of 80 State
street. Boston, in the lobby of the Ho-
tel Burke on Tuesday evening just
prior to his departure from town, says
the Prescott Journal Miner.
Readers of the Frenzied Finance ar
ticles of Thomas w. Lawson in Every
body's Magazine, will note that Mr..
Browns address is identical with that of
the author of the pungent articles
which have stirred up Wall street as it
was never stirred before.
Parties who have seen Mr.. Lawson's
picture, and who would then look up
Brown could not but be impressed
with the striking resemblance between
the picture and man who spent the
last ten days in this section. So strik-
ing was the resemblance that it be-
came noised around that Mr.. Lawson
was visiting Prescott incognitO.
Such however was not the case, but
Mr.. Brown was here in the interests
of Mr.. Lawson, and spent his time I'M
til the storm set in examining the min
eraI resources of the county and only
stopped his examination on account Of
the storm and snow and expects to re-
turn here later in the spring.
Aside from the above remark he gave
out no intimation whatever as to his
opinion of the mineral resources of
this section but as an illustration of
