The Business Side.

An item in the debt of New Mex
leo, which will have to be paid in the
unlikely event of joint statehood
carrying, that seems to have escaped
general notice is one that will figure
up many hundreds of thousands of
dollars. This indebtedness is repre-
sented by outstanding territorial
paper known as "militia warrants;'
whose face value is between three
and four million dollars.
Something like twenty-five years
ago, during the Indian troubles, New
Mexico organized an independent
militia and placed volunteers in
every town and village. These
troops were paid in warrants which
have never been liquidated and will
have to be taken up largely by Ari-
zona taxpayers, who never received a
cents worth of protection from the
soldiers, if joint statehood is not de-
feated.
This little matter of three or four
millions that will have to be should
cred by Arizona is entirely independ.
ent of the general territorial and
county indebtedness of New Mexico
that we will be called upon 20 share
and is but one of the many large
bills that we would have to settle
were we to so far forget the duty we
owe to ourselves and to Arizona as to
allow of jointure becoming reality.
The statehood bill had the follow
ing to say as to the assumption OF
the debts of the two territories by
the proposed state:
''That the debts and liabilities of
said territory of Arizona and of said
territory of New Mexico shall be as
sumed and paid by said state, and
that said state shall be subrogated to
all rights of indemnity and reim-
bursement of either of said terri
tories.'
There is a patriotic and senti-
mental side to Arizona's detestation
of joint statehood, but there is also a
business side and a highly important
one it is and one which should not be
lost sight of for a moment. Let the
business men of Arizona study well
the matter of taxation under the
proposed joint state and vote ac-
cordingly on November next
Gazette.

NEWS OF THE TERRITORY.

June 3Oth ended the territorial fis-
cal year and as is usual the books of
the territorial treasurer were bal
anced and a report made as to the
finances of Arizona. The balance
struck shows very gratifying sum
in the general fund the figures being
SSS, 1854
The assessor made his settlement
with the board last week. The poll
tax collections were over $4,000, ex-
ceeding last years collections more
than $1,000. The personal property
collections were a little over so, ZOO,
being $1,000 more than last year.
With the assessment roll standing
over $780, 900 taxes for the year 1906
should not be over 1925 on the 800
valuation.-Guardian.
Last week Undersheriff J. p.
Gideon brought in from Goldroad a
handsome bar of gold bullion weigh
lng S27 800. This bar was one of the
/purest ever sent from the mill. The
big mill is grinding away without a
hitch, although it is said that a
shortage of water is expected by the
management. The sinking of the
big shaft to d depth of about 1000
feet will probably open up all the
water that the mill will need
Kingman Miner.
The assessors Office has just turned
over to the supervisors map of the
entire county showing correct loca-
tion of all patented land in Graham
county. These maps represent no
small mount of work by the assessor
and Mr.. Casteel, who assisted him,
and have been the means of putting
several tracts of decided land on the
tax books that have heretofore es-
capped taxation. This land is assessed
as unknown" and if the proper own
ers fail to pay the tax on this land
it will be sold for taxes as prescribed
by law.-Guardian.
Henry P. Ewing, in a letter to this
Office, stated that it is reported in
San Francisco district that it is the
intention of the Gold-Road company
to put in gravity line from King
man to Gold Road to supply that
camp with an abundance of water.
The big electric plant is the incen-
tive of this line, as with an abun-
dance of water and cheap power the
Gold Road will become one of the
greatest gold mines in the world.
New shafts will be sunk on the out
side mines and the capacity of the
mill more than doubled. The Gold
Road mine is capable of furnishing
double the amount of ore now con-
sumed in the mill and with the other
mines producing it will be sending
out sl5OOOO to 100000 in bullion
monthly.-Kingman Miner.

COLORADO RIVER
AGAIN VERY HIGH.
Takes Depot at MexicaIi, Which Under
mined and Fell in River.

The last week has witnessed rise
in the Colorado at Yuma from the
26.6 to the 28.1 foot level. This rise
was foretold from reports higher up
the river. At the same time there
has been a slow but steady cutting
back by New river, the cut during
the week having crossed the inter
national line west of Calexico.
South of the line the river has been
encroaching on Mexicali, and We'd
nesday night it undermined and
carried away the Southern Pacific
depot at that point.
There has been some apprehension
that in cutting past Calexico and
Mexicali the river might undermine
and destroy portions of the town, and
the loss of the depot was not sur
prise. Several small structures were
moved before the river cut back to
that point, and it is still possible
that other portions of the two towns
may suffer. To prevent this blasting
is in progress to divert the stream
from the towns.
That the flood season is drawing to
an end seems certain, though the
date of subsidence cannot now be
determined The bulk of water
which has been discharged during
the present flood far surpasses that
of the ordinary June flood, this being
due to heavy SHOWS in the northwest
later, the crest of the ordinary flood
being due about June 20. From this
it would seem that within a few days
there will be steady drop in the
river

REPORT OF GEN. FRED GRANT
Officer Recommends Legislation 70.
Betterment of the Army.

Washington, Sept 19.-Maj. Gen.
Frederick D. Grant, commanding the
department of the east, strongly rec
ommends in his annual report some
legislation which will prevent the ex-
odus of enlisted men from the coast
artillery. The shortage is now about
20 per cent. He says that the life for
enlisted men is not very attractive in
many of the smaller posts and they
prefer service elsewhere. The report
contains number of recommends
lions relative to increasing the eff
cheney of the coast artillery as the de-
fensive arm of the nation. Gen. Grant
states that in his last report he said
that fully rs per cent. of the trials by
courtmartial were due to the use of
bad liquor, and this year he estimates
that 80 per cent. of the troubles that
occurred in the army are due to the
use of such liquor. He believes that
with the establishments of the can
teen the influence of demoralizing re-
sorts would be greatly reduced.

ASK WARRANT FOR MORMON.
COUNTY ATTORNEY is CITED TO
SHOW CAUSE.
Official Is Asked to Cause Arrest Of
President Smith on Charge Of
Poiyoamy.

Salt Lake City, Sept. 22.-Parley p.
Christensen, county attorney of Salt
Lake county, has been cited to appear
in the criminal division of the state
district court and show why he
should not direct the issuance of q
warrant for the arrest of Joseph F.
Smith, president of the Mormon
church, on q charge of sustaining un-
lawful relations with one of his five
wives. ..s. r.E - Fl
The citation was issued on the pc
tition of Charles Mostyn Owen, who
has been active in gathering testi-
mony against Senator Smoot. r
The complaint was based upon the
fact that on May 81 last President
Smiths forty-third child was born
to Mary T. Schwartz Smith, the Nor
mon presidents fifth wife, at her
home in this city.
AS witness to the fact the complaint
cited the four other wives of Presi-
dent Smith and several apostles and
leaders of the Mormon church, includ-
ing Senator Smoot and Gov. Cutler.
Friends of Mr. Christensen charged
that the filing of the complaint was
an attempt on the part of the anti
Mormons to embarrass him in his
candidacy for the Republican NOM
nation for congressman. Christensen
was defeated for the nomination in
the convention by Congressman How

Honey Is Nutritious.

Honey, one of the most nutritious
and delicate Of foods, should be eaten
more than it u.s." said a cooking ex-
pert. Bought in the comb, it is bound
to be unauthorized and this pure
honey will keep it's friends free from
sore throat and bronchial troubles. I
have not had sore throat for six
years and attribute it to eating
honey. My doctor tells me he often
recommends honey, with excellent. re-
suits, for diseases of the throat. Honey
is excellent to use instead of sugar for
sweetening cakes. 1t gives the cakes
a most delightful flavor. 1t is also ex.
cellent in place of butter on hot bis
cult, on toast and on buckwhaat
cakes. -. ~
II know a number of women who
use honey as cosmetic. They apply
it to the skim rub it in we'll, then wash
it off with hot water. The result is a

Americans at the Savoy, in the cafe

Bryan said:

know good wine, and it is also of ad-
vantage to know French.
Three friends of mine, travelling in
the French provinces, thought at din
ner that they would go little higher
than the vim ordinaire included in
their three-franc table d'hote, and &C.

RULING ON RAILROAD RATES
Interstate Board Decides Cash Must
Be Paid for Transportation.

Washington, Sept. 19.-!The inter.
state commerce commission Tuesday
rendered a most important decision
in the matter of the applications from
various railroads giving administra-
tive construction to certain provi-
sions in the railroad rate laws.
Briefly, they hold that with regard
to payments for transportation, moth
ing but money can be legally received
With regard to notices of chang IS
in rates, the joint rate between Two
or more connecting carriers is held
to be the legal rate, and any change
requires 80 days notice.
With regard to round-trip excursion
rates, the commission makes three rul-
ings, the most important being that
these may be changed at one days
notice.
