VALUE OF GOOD WILL.
A Better Understanding Between En-
 Dloyers and Men Needed.

| That declaration of an employer be-
 fore the meeting of the teamsters of
 Doston this week regarding the rela- tions of employer and employe, that
 things in general are indicative of a 1 better feeling between them than has prevailed hertofore and are promis- ing for continuance of their friend ly relations, is almost interesting and is in line with many known facts. The
 employer declared that the labor or
 ganizations had labor to sell and he wished to buy it. In such transaction
 each side naturally tried to make the best bargain 1t could with the other.
 His relation toward labor, he said, was
 he same as that toward a coal dealer with whom he made contracts, and it
 was important to himself and the coal
 dealer that each made the best possible
 bargain, end that the contracts were
 carried out in good faith.
 Now if this were the generally ac-
 cepted attitude of the employer, we imagine that strikes would be less fre-
 quent. However, it is incumbent on, the labo' union to act in good faith. and not Ike the striking motormen of New
 York, lightly and hastily violate a con- tract theZ have made. A better recog- hilton of the importance and value of good will will do much to promote har- monious relations between employees and employer, and the action of the Boston Teamsters' Cancellation club is an example which ought to bring about this harmony. When the employers can go to labor union and give their | views, they not only get acquainted 1 with the people with whom theSy are | doing business, but they learn some ! thing and they teach something. In the teau sters' trade, particularly, great | changes iu the methods of doing busi- ness have come about, and it is for the inter9 st of both the master teamster and tE c driver of the team to under stand Low and why these changes have

TRANSIENT SHEEP
The Owners Beginning to File Their
 AffidaVitS.

County Treasurer Hayden has begun making out list of the afidavits of owners of transient herds of sheep which the law requires shall be made. The af1davits so far include 1O3, $50, but there are several owners who have not yet come forward, though the time fixed by law has almost expired. It is estimated that there were nearly 100000 sheep in the valley during the winter and so far as is known none some have been sold and shipped out of the country Each affidavit states the date when that particular flock of sheep was brought into the county and also states the county from which the sheep were brought. These affidavits will be sent to the treasurers of the counties where the sheep belong and when taxes have been collected at home on them there will be forwarded to this county, it's proportionate share being based on the time the sheep re- mained in this county.
 Some of the sheep were brought in as early as the first of December, while others did not come until the latter part of February. There are a good many sheep here from New Mexico but there is no way under the a part of the taxes on them.
 The following is a list of the own CTS who have so far filed affidavits

THE BUCKEYE FLOODS
The Work of Repairing the Canal
 Vigorously Undertaken.

Engineer H. F. Robinson returned yesterday from a trip to the Buckeye country where he went in a profess sional capacity to look over the havoc wrought by the late foods He says the Buckeye canal and dam have suf- fered extensive losses but the company Is doing it's best to correct the trouble Superintendent C. c. Green has about eighty-five men and fifty teams em- ployed and they are throwing dirt as fast as they can.
 The first half mile of the canal be- low the head has suffered but little but the next mile and a half of the ditch is practically destroyed and a new channel will have to be cut. A considerable Dart of the dam is gone but just how much of it cannot be determined yet for the flow still going over it is too deep and far above nor nal. The dam is not all gone though for some of it can be seen. The dam, previous to the flood was 2200 feet long. Probably the greatest individual sufferer is w. E. Thomas, who is the postmaster and stOrekeeper at Liberty seven miles below the Buckeye dam MT. Thomas had a fine ranch on the bank of the river and about 200 acres planted to grain. At this point the river decided to change it's channel and encrOached on MT. Thomas pos his former grain field are in the cen ter of the main river channel and are several feet deep in water. The river

was not content to take his ranch alone but laid siege to the ranchhousa. store and postoffce. The original building was an adobe structure to which MT. Thomas had added a frame structure. When the water got alarm ingly close he moved the frame build ing away. then moved the stock into 1t. The water took about half of the adobe building.
 Considerable damage was done to the ranch of Mir. George W. Chris tian near the mouth of the Hassay- ampa and several other ranches be- low were hurt some but he did not learn Row much.
 MT. Robinson said that number of the Buckeye people told him they saw the houseboat built in the Phoenix shipyards, go down the river, evident ly in good order, before he got there It made the jump over the Buckeye dam in safety and was all right when last heard from.

NO LIQUOR SELLING
On Lands Segregated Under the Re-
 cIamation Act.

The registers and receivers of the U. s. land offices in Arizona, Califor- mia. Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming have recently been instruct ed by the commissioner of the general land office to notify all persons who have heretofore entered, or who may hereafter enter. any of the lands which have been segregated under the pro- visions of the reclamation act of June r, 1902, that the leasing of such lands or portions thereof to other persons who have been and are conducting the business of selling alcoholic liquors on said lands, principally to the employees engaged on the government works that such leasing either by themselves or others will be deemed sufficient cause for the cancellation of the en- tries embracing the lands so used or occupied.
 The officers of the land offices are further directed to give the widest possible publicity to the fact that such use of lands withdrawn under this act, whether such lands have been entered or are unoccupied, will be prevented by proper actions in ejectment, by in- Junction, or otherwise
 These instructions have been called forth by the deplorable conditions ex- lsting in Nevada, where the govern nent employs several thousand men, 1omesteaders have leased a portion of lhelr lands to persons engaged in the Lquor business, and murder and rob- Oery nave been rampant in conse- quence- The commissioners decision IS likely to correct these conditions,
