The Fort Collins. Colorado Sugar

periments on cattle the result Of
which will be of considerable interest
to stock growers OF the state. espc-
cially where sugar factories are 10.
Gated and beet pulp can be secured
for feeding purposes. The object ot
the experiments Is to learn just wha,

used in the experiments. One is res

another alfalfa and corn only: the
third alfalfa and beet pulp. and the
fourth alfalfa alone. These expert.

Assault on ]. E. Carpenter by Mine
Foreman Harry Prior

Saturday evening, September z,
about 8 o'clock j. f. Carpenter called
Harry Prior, the foreman of the Bell
group of mines, for the purpose of pay
ing him off. Prior became enraged,
without the slightest provocatlon,
seized most deadly weapon from the
table in the room, known as the min
ers' candle stick and plunged about
seven inches of the dagger end of same
into the body of Mr.. Carpenter. The
weapon entered near the heart. The
timely interference of Mr.. Sawyers,
who was standing nearby, prevented
the contamination of the fiendish in
tent. Mr.. Carpenter will very likely
recover. Both men are well known in
all parts of the country.
The turnpike from San Carlos to the
Bell group of mines, distance OF
twenty miles, will be completed this
week. r. S. Knowles engineering
from San Carlos, will meet Judge
Blake from the Bell, and shake hands

SANTA CRUZ REBELlI0US
WILL NOT BEND TO KlBBEY
District Attorney Advises Against Pay
ing Attention to the Man
date of the Gar

Flat refusal to comply with the in
structions of the territorial board of
equalization in the matter of the in
creased assessments ordered against
patented mines, was recorded at the
regular monthly meeting of the Santa
Cruz county board held Monday.
On motion of Shuckman, seconded by
Burgoon, the board refused to place
upon the assessment rolls of the coun-
ty the raise of 500 per cent on all pat
ented mines, 60 per cent on all work
horses and 60 per cent on all mules in
the county.
The action was in accordance with
advice of District Attorney Noon who
had, by request of the board, prepared
and presented to that body a written
opinion as to the legal right of the ter
ritorial organization to issue such an
arbitrary order. Mr.. Noon, in his
opinion addressed to the county board,
said:
Replying 10 your request OF August
80, 1905, for my opinion whether the
action of the territorial board of equal
ization at its last session wherein it
raised the valuation of patented mines
in this county 500 per cent above the
the value fixed by the county board of
equalization, is legal; and whether you,
as board of supervisors are required
and compelled to place these raises on
the county tax roll, beg to advise you
that as the territorial board of equal
| ization is creature of statute, it has
only such power as is specifically con-
ferred upon it and | am of the opinion
that the laws of Arizona do not con-
template giving to said board such ar
bitrary power as it has exercised in
this case. There being no provision
made for notice to be given to persons
whose property valuation has been
raised, nor from an appeal from such
an action, taxpayers might suffer ir-
reparable injury. 1t is therefore evil
dent that it was not the intention Of
the legislators to delegate such power
to such board.

plates that the board Of supervisors

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR
RAPID PROGRESS MADE
Mineral Display From ST. Louis Fair
Will Be a Permanent Feature The
Cattle Show

The mining building will house the
mineral exhibit recently returned from
the St. Louis exposition, to which viii
be added the samples of ore and valu-
able stones now being asked for from
the various mines and quarries of the
territory.
The next important building will be
the stable for the exhibition of horses
and this is being built with box stalls
and so constructed that the horses can
be readily shown.
Another building that will be of
great interest will be the poultry build
ing, and as this is one of the leading
industries, the management felt justi-
fled in making separate building for
this display in which there will be
chickens of the various breeds, live
stock of all kinds, turkeys, ducks,
geese and pigeons.
The four most important buildings
will be built of brick and constructed in
permanent style; there will be other
buildings of frame for the exhibition of
cattle, sheep and hogs.
There will be drilling contests on
mining day, and the winners will in ad
dition to the prizes that will be offered,
be entitled to the Arizona fair drilling
championship; the contests will be
both single and double handed.
Watson Pickrell of Tempe has been
appointed superintendent of the cattle
department, and as he has had much ex-
perience in the show cattle business,
will conduct this department as ii
should be. The premium list in this de-
partment has been completed and will
be mailed upon application.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED
IN GRAHAM COUNTY

From the Clifton Era.
The general sentiment of the people
0. the east end of the county seems to
be in favor of county division, though
there are not few who favor the re-
m'val Of the county seat. The east
end will be compelled to pay about five
sixth of the taxes and therefore is en-
Titled to the convenience of the county
Seat. Anyhow the people who pay the
taxes are tired of making a trip of
one hundred miles every time they
have business at the county seat.
