THE Bisbee Review keeps lauding N. B. Bailey, assemblyman from Cochise county, to the skies, and burning up Hon. William Neville of the same county. Bailey, who was corporation representative. is given credit of being the demo- cratic leader of the House. He aspired to be such, certainly, but made dismal failure, as there was nothing to him except his exalted opinions of himself. The Review recently published a two column speech CD of Bailey's in which MT. Neville was scored severely. The speech was not speech but was read at length by the would be leader, to the great disgust of all the members on the floor and the galleries as we'll. Had the Judge, who is forceful talker and a most able man, so cared, he could have fiayed Bailey alive, as when he had read his speech Bailey's supply of powder was gone and he would have been at the absolute mercy of Neville. The Bisbee paper to the contrary, notwithstanding, Judge Neville, who has been a United States senator, member of congress, member of various state legislatures and district judge in Nebraska, was one of the most able men in the house and was not by any means a disgrace to his county as the cor poration organ and representative would have the public believe. It was pleasure to be associated with so~learned man who should not be considered in the same breath with Bailey, the "gentleman{ ? from Sonora" Many time the writer felt like singing out: "Neil Bailey, won't you please sit down." but we refrained because if given enough rope a man of his stamp soon hangs himself, and we don't think Bailey will ever Ego back" It was be- cause of the fight Neville made on these parties that they want to kill him politically, but the people know when man is right and Judge Neville was that man.

THE only law passed by the re
 cent legislature having any bearing whatever on the sheep industry except that portion contained in the general livestock law-was the one which provides that it shall be unlawful to herd or graze sheep within one mile of any city, town, village or bona fde ranch. The law of course does not state that sheep shall by the act be excluded from going to towns for shearirg or shipping purposes, nor to ranch when there is no other watering place available. Despite the fact that it was not within the jurisdic- tion of the legislature to legislate over the public domain-and the law is therefore not valid-the principles involved are good ones and will no doubt be observed by those who are affected. This is probably the governors excuse for signing the bill. And after all Jim Bark's bowling, this was the best he could do-to secure the passage of an act that was unconstitutional.

The New Game Law

So many bills were introduced in the last legislature and 50 many amendments made that it was i'm possible for anyone to memorize all of the changes. As we remember it, the change made in the game law, as to the open season on deer was from Sept. 1st. to Dec. 1st. Not being sure, we wrote to Dr. R. N. Looney, of Mayer, the author of the bill, who informs us that the time for hunting deer is from Sept. 18th to Dec. 1st. This makes the change to later season desired by our sportsmen, and will allow of the saving of what meat they bag. It also makes the season longer than formerly, it now being two and one half months. As soon as the laws are printed we will give our readers the main features.

E. s. Gosney of Flagstaff when sending us the wherewith for an other years subscription few days since also enclosed the following note:
 "Your frank, independent course in the management of THE NEWS should command the respect and support of all good citizens. What the American people need is fear less, outspoken, but fair, opposition to all things detrimental to the pub lie interests, from local papers and individual citizens. This usually secures the enmity and islander of the corrupt, the selfish and the grafter, but the confidence and re- spect of the fair min ded and best citizens"

BOY MESSIAH TO FIGHT JAPS.
Claims He Has a Mission to Destroy
Brown Men.

ST PETERSBURG, Jan. 16.-An
extraordinary procession struggled into
Nicolaieff few days ago. Nine ragged
and footsore boys, varying in age from
eight to thirteen, tramped up to the To-
cal conscript depot, and asked to be
directed to the naval department, as
they wished to become sailors. The
leader, a red-haired lad named Melni-
koff, stated that he was Messiah,
and had a mission to overthrow the
Japanese. He mad started seventy
days from Smolensk, recruiting fol-
lowers on his way. The 1000-mile
march was effected without money,
each boy taking some provisions from
his home before starting. After due
consideration the authorities decided
to send the youthful leader to train
ng-ship, but his disciples were re-
turned home.

Provisions of the Bill to Go Before
the Legislature Is Approval
in Main.

In the opinion of the federal recla-
nation service experts there are Sc
rious defects in the proposed state ir-
rigation code, soon to be considered by
the Washington legislature
Morris Bien consulting engineer of
the service, addressed a letter today to
T. A. Noble, the local engineer in
charge of the Washington projects,
infinitely criticizing the proposed code.
Section SO of the code, as reported to
Gov. Mcbride by the state committee,
is characterized by Mr.. Bien as posi-
lively dangerous and there are other
provisions in the instrument which the
government earnestly desires to have
eliminated.
He has the following to say about
paragraphs SO and 60:
Paragraphs SO and so are entirely
unsatisfacto to the government. To
pendent upon the discretion of the
state engineer is absolutely dangerous.
1t should not be forgotten that all
government work is followed up by
spectators who desire to take advant-
age of any opportunity that may arise
to force the government to buy out any
rights which may be claimed. Very
plausible representations could be
made to the state engineer to cause
him to refuse an extension of time to
the government. 1t does not seem fair
or just to the government of the Unit
ed States, after it has set apart an i'm
mense fund, now amounting to about
$25, 100000, to question in any way it's
good faith in prosecuting any project
| to completion as promptly as condi
lions will warrant. If reasonable
time, as, for instance, three years, for
| the preliminary work is allowed, the
government will undertake to define it's
plans within that period. This is be-
lieved to be within the range of posi-
bility. although it would be far more
| just to allow the government five years
than three. But whatever the allow
| ance might be, it should be absolute,
and not such as to make the operations
of the government dependent upon the
| Judgment of one who might not be in
sympathy with it's work, or who might
have one reason or another for pre-
ferring to see smaller private develop
ments."

HORSE IS GOOD IN ARITHMETIC.
Colonel Dixon Can Do Sums In Ad-

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 16.-Col.
Dixon is only a delivery wagon horse,
but he is learning tricks so fast under
the training of his driver, Isaac Good
man, that his owner, James Conroy, is
seriously considering using him for
exhibition purposes.
Dixon is years old and first began
to show signs of unusual intelligence
a year ago. AT that time I used to
teach him to go to customers houses
without driving" said Mr.. Goodman.
Dixon seemed to understand me per-
fectly. Go to Bacon's, would say.

Dixon, take three from five, can you
do it?" asked Goodman of the horse.
Colonel Dixon nodded his head. Then
he gave the answer by stamping his
foot two times.
Add four and three" said Mr..

stamped his foot seven times.
Goodman says: II have never heard
of telepathy being applied to animals,
