were seized some time ago by agents
of the treasury department and that
was supposed 70 be the end of the
matter. United States Attorney Nave
however, made complaint against Mrs.
1 Pima net long ago and the preliminary
examination was set before Commits
sioner JOhpstone.s At the conclusion
| of the evidence for the government
Judge Baker for the defense moved to
dismiss on the ground that the gov
eminent had failed to show the value
of the goods alleged to be contraband.
The defendant claimed that the goods
were presents to her and did nos ex-
coed in value $1O0, which she was OIL
lowed to bring into this country with
out payment Of duty. Mr.. Nave de-
sired then to submit supplemental evil
uence on that point. This motion was
opposed by Judge Baker who contend
ed that the government having closed
was barred from the introduction of
further testimony The commissioner,
however, decided that inasmuch as the
case would be begun again should he
support the contention of Judge Bak-
er, he would receive the supplemental
testimony.
HEADQUARTERS FOR EVERY
THlNG-The limit was reached yes
terday when a lady sent to the board
of trade to procure some liquor in
structing the messenger that she had
been told that the board had the best
goods of that sort there were in the
city ana as she wanted it for medicinal
purposes the best was none too good.
Secretary Van der Veer thought that
incident was the limit. He has hither-
to had every other sort of an applica-
ton but yesterday was the first time
his Office had been taken for a booze
joint or a government dispensary.
People write to him to hunt up lost
relatives. TO look after sick friends
and to answer all sorts of unanswer-
able questions. Those who happen to
be in town and see his display in the
window also come in to buy every
thing from dates and dried prunes to
canned oranges. Children come in for
calendars and grown up people for lit
erature and some youngsters try to
buy candy of him as well as chewing
gum and watermelons. Those things
are all right and he generally manages
to entertain even if he cannot accom-
modate. but he draws the line on boot
Logging and the board has not yet fur
nished him with a license to sell pub
Hcly. Re has a very excellent quality
of private stock but it is too expensive
to use as q beverage. 1t is made main

WHO FEEDS YOU?-That is the
question that has been put to Tom
Shultz frequently since the distribu-
ton OF his worlds fair edition of the
Prescott Prospect. by the many mining
men into whose hands the paper came.
1t was in that manner he came to real
lie the incompIeteness of the number.
1t was all right so far as the Yavapai
mines We're concerned and the $4,000
copies distributed die a deal of good in
attracting attention to the chief in
dustry in that county. But the first
question the prospective investor asks
is who feeds yOu?" or to put it more
plainly, Does Yavapai county get her
supplies in Kansas or in California.
The answer of course is Neither, she
gets them in MaricOpa county It is
true that they do not all come from
MaricOpa county but a large part OF
the mining supplies are from this val
ley and from this time forward that
percentage Will rapidly increase. The
building of the reservoir will insure an
annual product that must be marketed
in Yavapai, ard that country will be
as glad to buy as MaricOpa viii be to
sell. For that reason Mr.. Shultz, who
is now at work on another special ed
ition for the Portland fair, is asking
people to come in and partic-
ipate both in the expense of the publ
cation and in the benefits to follow.
The last issue received the best kind
of an endorsement from the worlds
fair commissioners and Mr. Shultz
promises to make his next effort even
a better one. He proposes to devote
some space to Maricopa county any
how in answer to the question who
feeds you" but the more literally Mar
icopa county people patroniZe and as
sist him, the better showing will the
county make and likewise better re-
turns will follow. Mr.. Shultz was here
yesterday on that business and will no
doubt be here again in the near future
on the same sort of a mission. He has
never claimed for his paper a circula- I
ton among other than mining men,
but he finds that they have a very per-
sOnal interest in agriculture also.
