Against Federal supervision.

r. II. Robson, president of the Bankers
Reserve Life company of this city. re-
turned Saturday morning from a trip to
Chicago and st. Louis, where he had gone

serve life insurance compa This meet
ing was a continuation of the conference OF
western. central and southern life insur-
snce companies held in Chicago last De-
cember. The convention adopted const.-
tuition and bylaws, and elected permanent
officers at the St. Louis meeting.

Reserve Life, was elected secretary and
treasurer Of the organization, and W. A.
Iindley, president of the Security Mutual
Life Of Lincoln. was elected vice president

Der Of the executive committee.
After reafirming it's opposition TO federal
supervision by unanimous vote the conven-
ton agreed TO cooperate with the local ac-
cident, FIRE and fraternal organizations for
the enactment OF uniform state insurance
laws, and doubtless within few months
the movement will gain emphatic Roadway.

BASIC PATENT FOR Two-CYCLE MoToF

The use OF automobiles In rural free de-
livery work has received a fresh impetus by
reason of the decision of the Postofflce de-
partment authorizing the employment or
these vehicles by the carriers For several
months there has been considerable opposi-
ton in the department, 1t being the belief
of the officials that the automobile had not
as yet reached state OF perfection which
would warrant its substitution for the
horse drawn vehicle. Their dependibnity
and economy have been so thoroughly
demonstrated that all opposition has been
removed. The success which the we'll known
curved dashboard runabout has scored in
this work in various localities was a large
factor in the final ruling. 1t has been
demonstrated that one OF these machines
will not only do the work OF one or even
two horses, hut will do II with a greater
saving of time and at "a cheaper cost of
maintenance. The carrier equipped with
one Of these machines can complete the de-
livery of his mail and find leisure 10 carry
on independent work thereby greatly en-
larging his earning capacity.

BIG DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

A large crowd was present at the opera house last Monday evening to attend the dt mocratic meeting All of the county and precinc officers were present and occupied seats on the stage. Attorney X N Sleeves acted as chairman anC called the meeting to order, anc made a short address, speaking earnestly for the success of the whole ticket and for the crushing lefeat of the infamous joint-state hood bill.
 Mir. Sleeves then introduced Jesse Gregg, candidate for snper- risor, who responded with short talk, and was we'll received by the crowd
 Mir. Jas. Kennedy was the next speaker, and his remarks also were we'll received. While Jim" is not Fl the same class as Our Mark" as m orator, he is in line as being .ble to say just what he means
 md the people know him to be an l,nest and fearless official
 All the county candidates made hort remarks until the name of District Attorney Henry F. Ashursi andidate for re election was cached. Mir. AsLurst's speech was he most telling of the evening. 1e principally dwelt on the part he has taken in the now famous Bright Angel trail litigation, and from his view of the matter, made a most brilliant effort. Before closing MT. Ashurst threw a beauti- ful little bouquet at each of the candidates, naming each in turn, but by far the largest and choicest flowers were scattered over Jesse Boyce, candidate for recorder. Jess hasn't got the blush off his cheeks yet.
 "Scotty" McDougall tried to shirk making his debut, but he was brought forward from his hiding place in the audience, and made the hit of the evening by his eloquence and gift as a natural born orator.
 The music was furnished by the K. of P., band, and that it was good goes without saying. The band Joys are alright, and are beginning to be appreciated as to their real merits as musicians
 It was the most successful rally, thus far, held in Williams.

Death was the principal cause of the decrease of the past year, the number of names dropped on that account being 4S,0OO. Of these 29, 9,2OS were those of survivors of the civil war, leav- ing 666,45 survivors of that war still OH the roll.

Good Word of Advice.

Every miner and other under ground worker who may desire to keep the eight hour law on our statutes should advance to the firing line under the banner of anti joint statehood and remain there, vigilant and tireless, till the close of the hattl of ballots in Novem- her. New Mexico has no eight hour law and but few people in favor of such law as her mining in- dustry, including her coal mines, employs less than 5000 people and but small per cent of these are voters. Her chief industries are cattle and sheep growing and agriculture and these ind istries are not in favor of the eight hour law. In state legislature com posed of 66 - representative from New Mexico and only A from Arizona it would be impossible to re enact the eight-hour law.-Flor ence Tribune.

REDSKINS MAKING GOOD.
Interesting Statistics About Ari
 ZOna Indians.

The following are few interest ing extracts from the annual re. ports of Arizona Indian agents:
 About 85 per cent of the Indians of the Colorado River Indian agency are self-supporting.
 Fully 75 per cent of the 400 Apache Indians on the White Mountain reservation that received cattle two years ago, have them yet, and about 40 per cent have the issue and the increase" said Superintendent c. w. Grouse in his annual report.
 The most and best soft pine tim Der on the White Mountain Indian reservation is on the highest land, a belt from five to ten miles wide and one hundred miles long, on the northern and eastern sides.
 There are 856 Mohave Indians within radius of thirty miles of Fort Mohave. The tribe is decreas- ing in numbers.
 There are 174 Havasupai Indians living in Cataract Canyon, tribu tary to the Grand Canyon.
 Out of a population of 2,1OO Apaches on the San Carlos reser- vation, 1.5OO are said to be able to use English enough for ordinary purposes. 100 of these being re turned students from non reserva- tion schools.
 The census of the Wallapai showed 52O Indians scattered along the line of the Santa Fe railroad for several hundred miles, and wherever they can find water. The Wallapai reservation comprises 1908 acres of the most valueless land on earth for agricultural pur- poses. It is unsurveyed and un- allotted. Scarcely a dozen families on the reservation.
 On the western Navajo reserva- tion child marriages and polygamy are so common that they cause no comment even from white people who know these Indians. The women and girls own the sheep. Each girl gets control of her part of the flock when she marries. The son-in- law lives with his wife's people, and as the girls mother does not wish to support any more sons inlaw- than is necessary, it frequently happens that the same man marries all the daughters in the family.
 The flesh of the Navajo sheep re- sembles that of the antelope rather than that of the eastern sheep, and if once introduced among epicures it would soon be as much in demand as the famous Navajo blanket.
