sume her position, as it is understood she will. as waitress at the Burke ho- tel. Mrs. Blake was non-committal.
 Her son, George. employed at the Burke hotel as night bell boy stated to a reporter that his mother had said that the share of the estate which she and her husband would receive woulc be SS.OOO. not $3.OOO. .0OO. and that the estate was S6,OoO.OOO. instead of s60,- 900. 900.
 MT. Blake,s ancestors left England many years ago,leaving behind consid- erable property. which has since been held in chancery. doubling in value many times over He has always been of the opinion that some day the prop erty would be turned over to the heirs. and that he would come in for a large sum.
 q He had often discussed his dream of wealth, and. t is said. the telegraph operators. who rode back and forth on his car in Los Angeles, decided to play him a practical joke. by sending hin. the above bogus telegram.
 Mrs. Blake. however. is firm in her assertion that the original telegram which her husband received. is not bogus. but genuine, and that they have really come into a portion of the estate. but just how much. whether s3.00O, ,00O, as she stated, or s3.O00. as her son states. still remains shrouded in mys- tery
 Tt is a fact, however, that Mrs. Blake has returned to Prescott. and hat s-nrs fl -fsg waitress in the Burke hotel dining ,ooms. which leads to the supposition that perhaps the latter sum. if the cablegram was not a hoax, Is nearer the correct figure

THE BLAKE FORTUNE
 HfIR IN PHOENIX
His Wife Hotel Waitress at Prescott Still Believes her Husband is Veal thy.

A few days ago the Los Angeles pa pers printed a story of J. H. Blake. a motorman there, who became elated over a bogus cablegram. the prank O. a telegraph operator. informing him of the settlement of an old English chancery dispute by which an estate of s6O,0OO 900 was to be distributed among tho Blake heirs. of whom the motorman was one. Thereupon Blake resigned his job and sent for his wife who was in Prescott
 Mrs. Blake is now back in Prescott and her husband in Phoenix Mrs. Blake was interviewed the other day by the Prescott Journal-Miner which says:
 ''MIs. Blake stated that she did not care to discuss the affair, as her hus- band had requested that she remain silent up on the question of her inheri- ted wealth
 When it was pointed out to her by the newspaper man that the Los An geles papers claimed that the cable gram was a hoax. and pressed for a verification or denial of this, Mrs. Blake said:
 "'The only thing wrong about the story is that the Los Angeles Examiner stated that the message was bogus. This is not true. The cablegram my husband received was correct. but to throw the reporters off we gave them a fake cablegram, which was the one printed.'
 Then it is true Mrs. Blake. that your husband has come into s3pOo.- 000?' she was asked.
 "'Wen. I'd rather not discuss that but we have since received messages from London of which the papers know nothing
 And do they substantiate Mir Blakes claim%
 Thus pressed for definite answer. Mrs. Blake stated that her husband was certainly one of the heirs. and inti- mated that bis portion would be S3,- 900. 900.
 "She said that she expected the money would be forthcoming within the specified time, eight months.

The Cattle Growers Con- ventiOn AdjOurns After an Interesting Session.

The Arizona Cattle Growers Asso- citation yesterday closed the most in- i teresting and successful convention in
 the history of the organization. There
 was a wider range of subjects than the
 conventions are usually called upon to
 discuss, the chief among them being ! the question of the open range con- corning which there had been a com plete reversal of opinion of many of
 the members. When the subject of | the leasing project was first brought
 up. there was considerable opposition. but before the close it had vanished.
 Another interesting matter was the eX- pertinent of Professor Burbank in the development of a spineless cactus. The
 question of the Arizona Rangers was
 again brought up and the association again endorsed that organization. A
 resolution was adopted thanking the
 retiring president, Jame E. Bark, for
 the activity and impartiality he had displayed in directing the affairs of the association.
 The association now has 172 mem
 bers. the list embracing almost every important cattleman in the territory. The new members are George Olney, J. c. Adams, w. H. Cox, John Lacey, A. H. Emanuel, J. c. Krentz. w. T. Armstrong, Frank T. Ramsey and Frank Joeger.
 The three days work of the cOnven- tion may be summed up in the follow ing resolutions adopted yesterday just before adjournment:
 Al. Growers Association. we favor an equitable. just and proper government supervision of the open range, a super vision that. when set in operation by an act of congress and proclamation of the president. will be automatic and perpetual, opening and closing at set periods of its own accord until all of the range country be exhausted by homestead. If leasing permits on tha range are to be granted. we favor the issuance of the same for at least ten year periods on per capita basis.
 It is the sense of this association that for the modification in any sense of any district when once established, as to boundaries. area, or the issuance of an order to vacate the same that the initiative for such change shall remain always with those to be affected.
 We heartily concur with the Nation al Live Stock Association in its reso- lution that the range rights of present users of the grazing area as determin- ed by priority of occupancy and pres ent use. shall be carefully safeguarded and we most earnestly urge that in the law for range supervision congress shall make it the duty of range reserve ! to enforce the live stock laws | of the state or territory in which the , reserves are established so long as such | laws do not conflict with the federal ! laws.
 We believe that in fairness between I states and territories Arizona should | be given the same rights that are en- ioyed by New Mexico. viz. the privilege | of selecting lieu sections for the school sections that are on forest reserves, be they surveyed or not.
 We extend to the United States chief forester. Clifford Pinchot, our hearty |

Crime is less frequent with in our territory than ever before, life and property are now almost absolutely secure, and the professional criminals have been driven fro-l our territory and we are now enjoying a greater freedom from crime than any state in the union, and we petition the next session of our legislature and orr gov ernor not to reduce the Ranger force at the present time.
 We heartily approve the objects of the Cooperative Live Stock Commis- sion Company. whose operation we be- lieye Is of unq1estioned benefit to cat tie growers.

engaging though he has placed his hero and heroine in company of peo- pie. strangers, yet in the closest prOx I unity, while the two central figures fight out the battle of passion, and tug
 at the bonds of human fate. and hu-
 man weakness and strenghts combined.
 It is a situation of romance. danger, and of thrilling episodes, that the au-
 thor has evolved. and one possible in America, and at the present moment of time. only. The modern note is struck in the first paragraph. and is kept humming all through the story.
 Throughout the web and wool of the novel runs series of short stories each a nugget of gold in itself. With most readers. the central pair of tho main story will absorb attention until the end of the thick volume has been reached. Then. when the fate of John Stafford and 'The Far Away Lady has been settled. there will be a treat in the short stories still to come and the book will be read over again. Thus is the book made up, practically. of two books in one
 As for these short stories, it is not too much to say that they are perhaps nearest comparable. in originality. fire and life interest. to the "Wayside Tales of any short stories written since the hand of Hawthorne fell into rest. They are as inimitable as the short 'stOries of Dickens. They cover every field. almost. of human exist ence; the life of cities. of the open | country. and of the shadowy noun tains. and they are American, to the | core.

throughout this country until rather
recently when it was discovered that
the British aristocracy all say SaintN
