An Announcement.

The past winter is said to have been
hard one for the deer, and it is reported
that they have died in quantities in the
Maine woods. 1t is possible that the
time may come when it will be necessary
to increase the price of hunting licenses
to obtain funds-with which to provide
food for the deer during the winter, in
order to preserve our game. The sug
gestion is made that the next legislature
establish the Office of Commissioner Of
Game Feeding, with salary of $500
an office at the state house, and clerk
John Jones of tonesville wishes to an
nounce that if this is done he shall be
candidate for the position.

 People Talking About it.

A. Redewill returned to the city yes terday morning after a tour of Mexico, covering several weeks. He stopped in various southern Arizona towns on his way back and he gained the inn pression that the territorial fair man. agement had been doing good work. Wherever he went literature or adver- tisements of the fair assailed him. It had a marvellous effect and got every body to talking and at last got most everybody started to the fair. About 240 came in on the train yesterday morning. The day before the special of ten coaches from the Fl Paso and Southwestern stalled at Benson with its weight and another engine had to be sent for.
 On his return from Sonora he stopped at Nogales, where the Oasis said of him:
 MT. A. Redewill of Phoenix has just completed a tour of Sonora, occupying one month, in which he sold about thirty pianos and three pianolas, be- sides a large number of minor musical instruments, the total aggregate of sales reaching $3O,OOO, with a profit of 5000 for the firm MT.

One of the coats of arms consists of the famous deer standing alert before a back ground of desert and mountain, pines and cactus and under it the motto. "Ditat Deus." The other consists of very much the same back ground, in the foreground being a miner with pick and shovel. This latter is the one which has been em- broidered. It is the work of H. Im- amura, embroidered of Nagasaki The work is about two and a half feet long and two feet wide. At least ten col ors of silk have been used. Beside the purple of the filed there is the light CT blue of the fields of the four crossed flags whose red and white stripes are flowing in graceful folds. The waist of the miner is a brilliant red and his trousers an equally brilliant green. His face is pure white and his hat is black The sky is gray and the pick head and shovel blade are purple. The mountains are golden and the general field of the desert is dark green and copper. The flagstaffs are of gold embroidery as are the edges of the flags and the scroll at the top en- closing the word Arizona in gold. The coat of arms proper sets in a shield of embroidered gold.

A HAIR SAVER
That Grows in Popularity.

NewbrO's Herpicide, popularly known as the original remedy that kills the dandruff germ" is a new scientific, non n-irritant germicide and prophylac- tic for the scalp. It cures dandruff, stops falling hair and prevents bald ness by destroying the dandruff germ. Herpicide destroys the enemies of hair growth and by keeping the scalp clean and wholesome-itching of the scalp, stops, dandruff ceases and the hair grows as nature intended. Marvellous results follow the use of Herpicide. As a toilet dressing, it is incomparable, for it is a pure antiseptic containing no oil, dye, sediment or sticky substance.

GREAT A FIGURE.

Denver, Colo, December 3.-Notice of
the supreme courts order for a full in

on November s, was sought today, but
application will be made next Tuesday,
it was announced, for some modification
of that portion of the order stipulating
the expenses of the investigation shall
be divided equally between the two
parties.
Under the order of the court there
is no limit to the expenses" said Samuel
w. Belford one of the democratic at
torneys today. Governor Adams is will
ing to stand the expenses within limita-
tions but the way matters stand the re-
publicans might hire corps of 800 work
ers to go into the registration books and
we would have to stand for half of the
aggregate expenses. We are willing to
pay for the people we hire and that is
ALL"
Attorney James H. Brown for the re-
publicans is quoted as saying that the
republican party will pay the entire ex-
penses of carrying out the investigation
as ordered II necessary.
The court today appointed two watchers
to guard the registration peoths of the
city and county of Denver until the in
yestigation is over.
