HEAR GOOD NEWS
Changes to Be Made in Rates for
 Grazing on Reserves

It will be good news for the stock men of Arizona to learn that Secre- tary Wilson of the department of agriculture and Clifford Pinchot, of the bureau of forestry, after a con- ference with Eugene Grubb of the Colorado board of agriculture, have agreed to modify the new forest reserve regulations recently issued.
 The new rules to take effect Jan. 1, provide that cattle grazing on the reserves must pay fee of from 20 to 35 cents per head. A general protest has gone up against this proposition, especially from stock men in Arizona, adjoining the new reserves, who are in many instances dependent upon these reserves for their grazing.
 Grubb went to Washington on his own motion and in behalf of himself and others, who would be practically driven out of the live stock business by the new rules, so as to make grazing free on the new ly created reserves and on the old reserves.
 One hundred head of cattle will be admitted free of fees, and over that number will pay a fee not to exceed 10 cents per head.
 Grubb agreed to this, but wanted all pasturage fees on cattle in re- serves eliminated entirely, and this may ultimately be acceded to. It is stated that no concessions will be made to sheepmen, as flock owners can we'll afford to pay the small fees exacted.
 Grubb also discussed the cutting of timber on the reserves. It is stated that since the reserves were made, sawmills were buster than ever.
 Grubb protested strongly, and it was agreed that the sale of timber to sawmills will be put under the most stringent regulat tions, and limited to the actual local demands for lumber and timber for mines.
 The new order will be issued about Nov. 15, as Chief Forester Pinchot is taking a two weeks rest, but the department has permitted Grubb to announce the news.
 There will be general rejoicing among the stockmen of the west over the success met with by Grubb, who insists that it is the desire of Secretary Wilson and Chief Pin chot to be fair and reasonable with the stockmen. Under fair and req sonable supervision it is possible that the forest reserves may prove of great benefit to the stockmen of Arizona.

Political Forecasts

Though the Flagstaff Gem has not intimated or stated openly that it was after the scalp of any of the county officials, it has already be- gun picking out men for the next campaign. The Gem says:
 James l.. Byrnes is deemed by some of his friends as a suitable man for legislative honors.
 Edgar Brown is mentioned by some of his friends as suitable tim Der for county treasurer.
 It is rumored that L. W. Quin- Ian has placed his affections upon county office. Larry is compe- tent man and would give some one swift race for his money.
 Thomas Devine has served two successive terms as county treas urer and is estopped under the law for a third time for this office. Mr. Devine is very popular with the people, and if he wants another office he should speak now, or for ever hold his peace.
 Fires are being kindled under the municipal and county political pots and they are beginning to simmer this early in the ensuing campaign. Municipal and county prospective candidates are preparing campaign ammunition i'll carload lots, and no doubt the campaign will be the liveliest ever witnessed in Coconino county.

NEGRO SHOOTS
 SECTION FOREMAN.
First Quarreled in Saloon, Negro Gets Gun and Plugs White
 Man Three Times.

Pine Bluff, Feb. 10. Section Foreman Northcut of the Pine Bluff & Arkansas railway, was shot yesterday afternoon at Swan Lake by Henry Hall, a ne- gro, and is in a serious condition. Northcut was wounded three times, once by bullet in the leg which broke the bone, and again in the shoulder, while the third shot shattered his elbow.
 He was brought to Pine Bluff and will be sent to the railroad hospital at Tyler, Tex, for treat ment. It is thought he will re- cover, as the shot in the shoulder did but little damage.
 The trouble arose over some minor affair which took place be- tween Northcut and Hall in a saloon near Swan Lake. The men quarreled at the time, but went back to work. At noon while Northcut was eating his dinner Hall approached him and, drawing a pistol, began to fire at the white man.
 He fired three shots and each shot took effect. Northcut fell and the negro made good his es- cape before others could come to Northcut's s rescue.
 A posse started out this morn ing from Swan Lake, but have not found the negro. It is thought he will come to Pine Bluff.

Captain Barrow said that the barge
was towing at the end of hawser from
the stern of a large vessel that had
been taking a cargo of lumber. The
barge carried no lights and was not
visible from the Tarpon until the
steamer was within half length of
the vessel. The engines were imme-
dIatelv stopped and reversed but al
though the speed of the Tarpon was
very slow it had been impossible to
prevent the collision. The force of
the collision was slight and did ne
damage whatever to the Tarpon.

GRAND LAGOON
TEENS WITH DUCKS
IMMENSE NUMBERS NOW TO BE
FOUND IN VICINITY OF
MOUTH OF BRENT'S
DITCH.

A man employed on the Brent ditch.
which empties into the head of Grand
Lagoon, says that immense fiocks of
ducks are to be found around the head
of the lagoon, some Of the fiocks num-
bering thousands. There has been
little hunting in that vicinity recently
and as a consequence the birds are
easily approached.
During the first part of the season
a number of ducks were shot not far
from the mouth of the lagoon by
soldiers from the forts and a few
sportsmen from the city, but there
has been little, if any, hunting for
several weeks.
