"Tobasco" Is No More

The we'll known stallion 'Tobas. co" broke his leg last week and he had to be shot. He was the sire of the pacing stallion Cobre Grande, who was considered good enough to put on the speedway of New York [; also the converted trotter Lobineer, and several other good ones.
 In summing up the years of use- fulness of this old horse, he verifes the old adage that "blood will tell, i" being sired by Lobasco, who died at the early age of six, holding the worlds stallion racing record. He was brought to Arizona, and al- though being handicapped by every kind of 'knockers," more especially by men who could not tell the diff ference between a tabulated pedi- gree and the map of China, yet his colts have won, through their own performances. a place among Amer ica's highest class of light harness horses. Tobasco was owned by w. K. Ross, of Rhoades, Ariz.

yon is now very bitter, Cameron having been warned to keep off the platform of the company's depot, and several times recently ejected because he attempted to get on the platform and solicit patronage for a hotel he is running in opposition to the Santa Fe hotel.
 Only last week he was ejected from the company's property, tele- grams to this effect having been sent here by him. He made no effort to resist.
 The magnificent hotel that was recently built by the railroad peo- pie on the rim of the Grand Can yon is not on any ground claimed by Cameron, but is on the public domain. They have warned Cam eron not to use a road that runs in front of it, and has been open for the past twenty years.

BOARD RAISES
 PATENTED MINES

The business of raising the asses ments of the patented mines of the territory was disposed of quickly once the board of equalization got at it. General T. F. Wilson of Tucson, whose appointment to suc- ceed Mir. Donau was announced ar rived from the south and soon after went to the capitol. He resigned his office as member of the Twenty third legislature from Pima county and took the oath of office as mem- Der of the board of equalization.
 The matter of increasing the as- sessment of the mines came up early in the afternoon session. MT. Wood introduced his resolution of the day before which had been de- feated by a tie vote. The resolu- tion had been changed in two par ticulars only. AS offered first it proposed an increase of the assess ment of Yuma county of 800 per cent instead of 200 per cent. The resolution was adopted by unan- imous vote.
 A clerical error had been made in the schedule of the day before in that the extensions of the result of the increase in some cases under the head of "board valuations showed merely the increase, the original county board valuation not having been added.
 The following is list of the coun- ties affected, the per cent of the in- crease and the total valuation of the mines, exclusive of the improve ments, whose assessments under the original resolution were to be increased 100 per cent:
Williams news., 1905-08-26
Total. .$11 ,637 ,566. .5S

The total with the sessments on improvements will bring the whole assessments of patented mines up to about $15, 100000. This is an increase of nearly $11,OOO,OOO over the amount returned by the county boards. Cochise will be affected more than any other coun- ty in the territory, the increase in that county alone being more than $3,OOO,OOO.
 The compiled figures show that the total valuation of all property for the purposes of taxation is $57,- 92O,372.S4. This is gain of about SIS. 100000 over the valuation of last year. After having spent some time in trying to find way for in. creasing the valuation of improve ments on mining property the board could find none and decided to ac- cept the returns from the county boards.
 Following is list of the amount and value of the property of the territory:

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR
Newsy Items of What Will Happen
 at the Great Event

ployed Vernon L. Clark as super intendent and he will devote his time in making preparations for the fair. The first matter to re- quire attention will be the planning and construction of the necessary buildings, and of these there will be the main exhibition building, or agricultural hall; then will come the mining building, in which will be placed the exhibit of minerals that were recently returned from the St. Louis exposition, and to which will be added the samples of ores and valuable stones that are now being asked for from the mines of the territory.
 The next important building will be the stable for the exhibition of horses, and this is being built with all box stalls and so constructed that the horses can be readily shown. Another building that will be of great interest will be the poultry building. As this is one of the leading industries the man. agement felt justified in making a separate building for the display in which there will be chickens of many breeds, turkeys, ducks, geese and pigeons.
 These four buildings are consid cred the most important and will be built of brick and in the most substantial manner. There will be other buildings for the exhibition of cattle, sheep and hogs.
 The premium lists are being got ten ready for the several depart ments and will include minerals, live stock of all kinds. poultry, grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and articles of ladies' hand work; in fact, the manage ment desires to offer such premiums and prizes as can be afforded and that will induce the display of all the leading products of the territory.
 One of the attractive features of the fair will be the woman's de- partment, and the display will be in the main exhibition building, where it IS expected that it will oc- cupy one-fourth of the floor space. Here will be shown the hand work of the ladies, and the department will be in three divisions-domestic science, painting and pottery, and needle work.
 There will be drilling contests on mining day, and the winners will in addition to the prizes offered be entitled to the Arizona fair cham pionship. These contests will be both single and double.
 Work is progressing rapidly on the mile .and also on the half mile track, and when these are finished the association will have the best tracks in the territory. The train ing stables are we'll under way and the contract for building the grand stand has been let. The stand will have a seating capacity of 20OO people and is being built on the latest improved plans.
