 Republican: Judge c. w. Grouse.
 in charge of the Whiteriver Indian reservation, arrived in the city yesterday and will be in town for three or four days on private busi- ness. Judge Grouse says things are moving along in satisfactory manner at the agency. One duty of the agent is to make the Indians wholly or in the part self support ing, and in a measure he is suc- ceeding, though the habit of ages cannot be overcome all at once. There is only one thing the h. dians of that agency can do to support themselves, and that is to engage in stockraising. There is, by the way, no better place in the world for that industry and in the territory than the region to which the Indians have access. There is always good pasturage and plenty of water. About year ago Judge Grouse ar- ranged with the government to give the Indians a nucleus for the cattle business. Altogether about 400 head of cattle were distributed among them. There are about 300 now That is not a big in- crease, but 1t is fair one consider tug the character and manner of the Apache stockraisers. A great many of the cattle were killed and eaten just as the cattle of white men used to be killed and eaten by the forefathers, not so very re- mote, of these same Indians. But they will get over this improvident use of their own cattle in time.

 Globe Belt: The case brought in
 Judge Thomas court short time since, affecting cattle claimed by
 W. T. Armstrong and others in the Dripping Springs country, was transferred to a Troy justices court, as before told in these col umns. Armstrong won out in the Graham county trial and thought the matter settled for good. Now a charge is brought against him in the Florence court charging the theft of one yearling which has successively occasioned three diff ferent charges against Armstrong. 1t is said he claims the yearling is the property of his brother Jim, and rightfully in his possession. It begins to look as if somebody was determined to land w. T. Armstrong behind the bars at any hazard. He was sent to Yuma once on similar charge and when the supren court reviewed the evidence he was released on bail and a new trial ordered, but the case was dismissed when the hear ing came up for lack of evidence to prosecute. Judge Kent, in his opinion from the supreme bench, plainly indicated that the testi- mony in the original trial was in- sufficient to convict.
 s. ". Stockman. If the live stock industry is threatened, as contended from several sources, by having the tax valuations doubled, it might not be a bad plan to let the Arizona Cattle Growers Asso- citation wake up long enough to be members. It is openly and freely stated in connection with the demand on the board of super visors of each county for a dupli- cate tax roll, that it is the desire of the Territorial board to make better showing financially for Ari- zona, and to that end will virtual ly double the taxable wealth by making the mining and livestock interests stand the brunt of the burden. There seems to be no denial of these statements from any Hence We must believe they contain truth. The ambi- tion of the board of equalization to make better financial showing is laudable enough and along some lines assessments could be largely increased. but we cannot con scientiously believe that the live stock assessments should be in- cluded in the list. This being a matter of common interest among the cattlemen of Arizona. 1t rightly becomes 8 subject for attention by the association The officers of that body would do well to take the subject up and ascertain, off, cially, as they can, just what the n o4ts4,.1n I'd &,....,.s3 tEx@ ao4t1c ~~a.-.

In the town of Kangra it is believed
that only 300 are left alive. Many OF

The shocks continue. There Is no
news from the Kulu Valley, but ac-
cording to native rumors a great
amount Of damage has been done.
An official dispatch from Dharmsala
says the place is a scene of complete
desolation. Owing to the scarcity OF
labor great difficulty Is experienced in
exeavating the ruins, but the Ghurkas
are doing excellent work.

RUSSIAN BOOKS IN JAPAN.

In connection with the Cervantes
commemoration ceremonies, which
will be held in Spain from May to y,
the Spanish Academy has decided to
distribute free among the people so, 900
copies of a specially prepared popular
edition of Don Quixote."
Some uncommonly interesting statis-
tics regarding the Importation of for
eign books into Japan have just been
given out by the French Minister to
the Mikado's court, M. Harmand. II
seems that in 1901 Germany supplied
the greatest number of books TO Japan,
96,394: Great Britain being second
with S7,60S. The next year, however,
the importations of English books al
most doubled, while the German sup
ply fell off little. In 1903 the i'm
again. the number being 315,51S-
more than all the other countries put
together. A significant thing about
the figures Is the rapid rise that took
place in the demand for Russian books
by the Japanese in 1908. In 1902
Japan only bought 123 books from
Russia, the next year the number rose
to 1139, which Is interesting in view
of subsequent events.
Although France has about as many
important women writers as any other
country, II Is rather surprising fact
that the national language contains no

His refusal to either partake of or to

his hunger having been destroyed by
the dilatoriness of its arrival, and not,

Mr.. Lowenthal stuck to his original
theory that Mr.. Bush's declination to
