STILL LIKES WILLIAMS
Longs for Old Stamping Grounds
 and Familiar Faces

Postmaster F. w. Smith last Sat- urday received letter from Chas. c. Blue, formerly of this city. which he handed to us The letter follows:
 Versailles, Ohio, Mch. 12. 'O6.
 "Dear Fiend: I enclose herewith money order for $3, which wish you would hand to the editor of the weekly paper there as my subscrip- tion for the paper. I long very much to see Williams and my old stamping ground; also the familiar faces in the old home. It seems but few weeks since I was there, and I believe there isn't day but what I think of Williams. I may run out there this summer with my family for a vacation, for I want rest, and I believe I could get it there, and would enjoy myself bet ter there than anywhere else on earth. Give my regards to all the boys, and tell 'ye editor to send along the NEWS"
 Mir. Blue is now acting as mana ger for his fathers company, The J. NJ. Blue Saw Mills and Lumber Firm. at Versailles, Ohio, and Montgomery, Indiana. His many friends among the old timers here will be glad to learn of his pros perity. The Versailles Policy says of him:
 Manager c. c. Blue is certainly very busy man. as he keeps the books for the local mill and the Sidney mill, besides a general rec ord for the entire business; pays all bills, buys a large part of the tim Der, and makes visits to Union City, Chickasaw and Osgood, where they have stuff sawed, to inspect | same.

Reported Break
Citizen.

Chicago, March PA break with surprising sequence, it was learned today, has occurred in the former friendship between William Jennings Bryan, twice democratic nominee for president, and William Randolph Hearst, the seeker of nomination. As result the name of MT. Bryan, still regarded by thousands as the democratic leader, has been barred by MT. Hearst, who aspires to be the leader, from ap- bearing in any of his newspapers.
 In the opinion of MT. Bryan's friends Hearst's remarkable action in excluding from the columns of his newspapers the name of a man twice supported for president, whose principles he lauded and for whom he professed great personal regard, has been inspired by feelings of personal jealousy.

FOREIGN LABOR
 LAWS EVADED
Hundreds of Mexicans Are Being Brought
 in Daily

Train No. 10 did not carry as large a load of peon laborers this morning, the consignment consist ing of only six. Yesterday morn ing the number was much larger, the consignment consisting possibly of seventy-five of the most degen- crate human beings one ever saw within the borders of the United States. There were several women in the party, which is unusual with the parties that have been coming up from Mexico almost daily since the first of the year Unlike the men, who are usually thin and wiry, with drawn features, these feminine creatures were sleek and fat. Several children clung to their skirts, as they stumbled clumsily from the train at the local station. The entire party was crammed into one car, which was an ordinary smoker kind, and with them were many boxes of crackers and fat meat and chili. A few carried cof- fee pots.
 Some of the men had yellow tickets sticking through their hat bands, but these were not their railroad tickets. The majority of the natives coming across the bor- der now, and especially those trav- cling over the Santa Fe, travel on passes issued to the Holmes Supply company, which is a corporation having it's headquarters in Los An geles, and has contract with the Santa Fe to furnish labor on the coast lines and western divisions of the system. It is reported that this company is shipping out of El Paso daily on an average 1855 Mex ican laborers. How the United States contract labor laws are evaded by this company is not conclusively known, but it is thought that the men are in vited across the border by se- cret agents and that the contracts are made in Ell Paso, this side of the line. The only thing not es- capped altogether is the head tax paid by the men. which is $2 per head. The certificate for this head tax is yellow. and that is whata number of those who passed through the city yesterday had beneath their hat bands. After paying this head tax natives of Mexico have right to make any kind of a con- tract they may choose in the United States, so long as they keep within the common laws.-Albuquerque Citizen

ARIZONA WOOLGROWERS
Petition Congress on Question of
 Transportation
ALrADENA, Cal, March Is, 'O6.

ALTADENA, Cal., Marcn 10, Oo.
 My Dear MT. Neal: Remember. ing your request to advise you of anything to stockmen I will state: The officers of the National Wool growers association and other na- tional live stock associations have been working on two measures of importance. One is the proposed raise of $2 per car commission charges .on sale of sheep by the live stock exchanges, which order, we are advised, was agreed should be rescinded, but the commission men afterward protested and represented to these exchanges that the growers and feeders were reconciled to the advance, and that it was only the officers of these national associa- tions who were protesting; where upon 1 sent to the live stock ex- changes of Kansas City, St. Joe, South Omaha, Sioux City, Denver and Chicago the enclosed letter, based on expressions at onr last meetings and private information. These same live stock associations are endeavoring to get congress to so amend the law which now re- quires all stock to be unloaded after 29 hours in the cars so amend ed that when it is for the best in- terest of owner and stock they may remain in cars 36 hours, and that sheep may remain longer to pre- vent unloading in night time. The senate committee, we understand, is unfavorable to this last measure, which is certainly a humane and just measure, in support of which I sent to our delegate in congress the enclosed message:
 TELEGRAM TO MARK SMITH.
 Altadena, Cal March 15, 'O6. Hon. M. A. Smith, U. s. Congress,
 Washington, D. O.:
 Please present to senate commit tee considering the twenty eight hour law amendment our united and earnest request for the adop- tion of the clause permitting sheep to remain more than thirty-six hours, under conditions proposed. Remaining in cars is much prefera- ble to night unloading, from either humane or financial standpoint.

LETTER TO ASSOCIATIONS.

LETTER TO ASSOCIATIONS.
 Flagstaff, Ariz., March 15, 'O6. Live Stock Exchanges, care of Mis- souri River Points, Denver and Chicago:
 Gentlemen: We desire to assure you that the woolgrowers of Ari- zona, without exception, are heart fly in accord with the representa- tions and protests made by the American National Live Stock as- sociation and the National Wool growers associations, against the increase commission charge of $2 per car on sheep, making commis- sion SIP per double deck car in stead of $10, heretofore charged.
 The woolgrowers and shippers of this territory feel that the proposed increase is unwarranted and a very great injustice to the sheep breeder, who must pay it in the end. Do not conclude because the protest has been left to the officers of our association that the feeling is less strong among the individuals now scattered upon the ranges. Many of them class it with the question of the shippers return transporta- tion, up two years ago.
 Very truly yours,

GOULD NOT BUY
 COL. J. F. WILSON
With Promised Appoint. ment as District
 Attorney


 tax lodging mining boss of Ari- zona, had the audacity to tell the senate of the United States in a speech on the statehood bill that he paid his just proportion of taxes in Arizona. The man knew when he made this statement that he was telling a downright lie, one that is self evident to any and every one who will examine the tax roll of Arizona. The United Verde mine is not taxed at~6 per cent of its actual cash valuation, and that old scapegrace knew it we'll when he made his statement. \
 As an evidence of the methods employed by this man to cheat and defraud the taxpayers of Arizona, we have but to refer to an occur renee that took place a few days ago in Prescott, wherein T. G. Nor ris, Senator Clark's attorney and all around corruptor of county and territorial officials for Clark, played a prominent part. E. E. Ellinwood resigned as district attorney of Yav- apai county. and the board of su. pervisors being the appointing pow CT under the law, suitab ble man for the place was sought for by the tax payers of Yavapai county, but the two democratic members of the board being owned body and soul by Clark. permitted T. G. Norris in the interest of Senator Clark to select the successor of MT. Ellin- wood. Col. Wilson, one of the ablest attorneys in Arizona, and an honora ble, clean handed man, was offered the place by Norris. Norris went so far as to tell Col. Wilson to prepare his petition for the ap- pointment as the law directs, and he would be appointed. Acting in good faith, Col. Wilson secured his petition, but the day before the ap- pointment was to be made. Norris called Col. Wilson out of bed and demanded that he pledge himself before he was appointed to stand in with the United Verde Mining Co.,. in other words, to continue to allow that corporation to evade paying it's just proportion of taxes, and also to appoint Charley Herndon as his deputy. Col. Wilson, who is not only an honorable, able man but one of those kind of men that cannot be used by any one, became indignant. and informed Senator Clark's attorney in language that could not be misconstrued what he thought of him as man. and the corporation he represented, fol making such an infamous proposi tion. The conference ended by Col. Wilson's declining to have any. thing to do with board of super. visors that would allow a corpora. tion lawyer to peddle out it's ap pointments, and an unknown, in. consequential justice of the peace was chosen as district attorney ir order to carry out the mandates o Senator Clark and his corporation
 Consider this piece of public in fanny, and then read the speech o that venal old political hack in the senate on statehood and draw youl own conclusions. The people O. Yavapai county are indignant al this latest outrage, and the chances are good that the public will no only demand the resignation of tht board of supervisors, but will pro ceed against Norris in the courts O the territory for his attempted higf handed outrage.-Phoenix Enter prise, March 17.
