NOTICE TO STOCKMEN

Further evidence of the govern meut's concern over the improve ment of range conditions in the national forests is shown in the announcement just made that stock owners will be furnished free of charge supplies of vaccine for the treatment of stock afflicted with black leg, tuberculosis and other animal diseases. This arrangement has been made ny the forest service with Dr. A. D. Mel yin, chief of the bureau of animal industry.
 Stockmen holding permits for grazing in the nation al forests will now be furnished with an effective means of comba tting without cost all of the most dangerous diseases to which atock is subject. The vaccine can be obtained simply by applying to the supervisor of the forest upon which the stock is yrazed. who will at once forward the approved request to the Bureau If Animal Industry, where it will he filed Full directions will be furnished for its use.
 The forest service and the hureau If animal industry are working hard in an endeavor to eradicate pr diminish the common forms of stock diseases found on the western ranges, and their efforts are meet ing with much success. It is anticipated that large number of stockmen will avail themselves of 'his latest offer of assistance and as result the loss of stock will he greatly reduced and range con ditions improved.

KIBBEY STILL GOVERNOR

Sea serpents come; and comets go. But Governor Kibbey holds on to his job. Another-yes, we know not how many others, one at time, we would have taken Kibbey's seat in that guber- material chair, had gossip been ot avail. And goodness knows how many times President Roosevelt has been importuned to ".put Kib- bey out" and to "give me" or give my friend" the job, flor I am d Roosevelt man, a joint-statehood man, IT in Arizona, and I'l deliver you the goods, viz, deliver the Arizona delegation into your hands. pledged to abide by your wishes in the matter of the next republican nomination for presi- dency."
 The president and Kibbey are diametrically opposed to eacl other on the subject of joint statehood. In any country and in any age, that would be cause sufficient to justify a request for Kibhey's resignation. The presi lent does not ask it. He sees that Kibbey is a fair minded and fear less man who does things.
 He knows, as all of us Arizonans irrespective of party or other utilization, know, that Kibbey is the hest governor the territory has ever had. The president is great enough to permit the best interests of territorial government in Ari- zona to outweigh any argument or feeling, personal or otherwise, favoring the removal of the present incumbent. Therefore Kibbey is still governor; and for this reason. governor he will continue to be until he sees fit to voluntarily resign.
 These are the plain facts in tfe ease. And we admire Roosevelt for the etand that he has taken Paradise Record.

IT will probably be an item of news to most readers that post masters are not compelled to make change when yon make purchases at Uncle Sam's office. This is a queer rule that not one in 8 thousand persons know. Buyers oi stamps or any purchases at a postoffice must furnish their own change, e.. the postmaster could insist on the buyer furnishing hir own change if he sees fit. to do it; but usually the postmaster is glad enough to get rid of his "chicker, feed" and he is always ready and willing to accommodate the public by making all the change it asks for.

Another Big Sheep Drive

The last of the big drive of 25, ,OO0 sheep on the way from Pecos val ley. N. M., to the Salt River valley of Arizona. reached Alouquere Fri day afternoon. last week, and the whole big band was rounded up for the night on the west bank of the Bravo.
 The drive is one of the largest made in recent years and the record for losses for the two months the band has been on the trail is re- markable. The usual loss in a band of sheep of this size is seldom less than sheep day. The present drive has lost less than 100 head from the herd. including the sheep eaten by the herders.
 The sheep are in good condition fully as good. according to the herders, as when they started from the Pocos valley. A big shipment of bucks reached Albuquerque by rail, and were added to the flock across the river. The sheep again started on the trip here early Saturday.-Citizen.

" ny 'hC oodlu ne" pidu loI giving statehood to Arizona has been formulated The source oi this projec, we are unable to lea rn In brief, the scheme is to unit. Arizona and Nevada The consent If both must necessarily bt obtained, and while from sociologi cal reasons the union of Arizona md Nevada would be lest objectionable than the merging O. Arizona and New Mexico, geo graphical reasons would seem al ,nsuperable bar. The people oi Arizona and Nevada are alike il being energetic and enterprising; their main reliance in materia l resources is in mining Both are making great strides in agriculture. Nevada in the valley of the True kee, and Arizona in many of ilt irrigable valleys. Nevada and Arizona are contiguous-hut in tht widest and most inaccessible sec tions of each, communication is all but impossible where the borders meet, and is best obtained onll through California. Therein lie, the great objection to joining Ari zona and Nevada in common state hood.
 While Arizona newspa pers. busi- ness men, politicians and others are discussing statehood, let ut make a suggestion.
 Southern California desires sepa- rate statehood. It is fair estimate that nine out of ten men in the section south of Tehachapi Pass and San Luis Obispo county wish to be free from the north. h. opposition to the proposition is the native son element, inconsiderabl, in the south. Its objections are wholly sentimental. Commercially there is every advantage in south ern California being erected into 6 separate commonwealth.
 Now as to Arizona's interest in this matter. If separate stotehood is not possible for southern Cali fornia on account of the fear of the east that the far west will become too influential in the senate. and ii Arizona is to be denied because il is (presumably) too sparsely settled, and because (really) it is likely to be democratic when elections roll around, what is tc prevent Arizona and southern California pooling their issues and making an effort for statehood as a new state?

 hood to this end of California. II Is impossible to say that no objec

BIG JAIL FOR PORTLAND.
County and City May Join I'm Fine
Building.

Building.
The first meeting of the joint COM
mittee from the city and county to
consider the proposition of erecting a
Jail and emergency hospital on the
present court house site resulted in
putting the question into the hands of
District Attorney John Manning and
City Attorney John Kavanaugh for an
opinion as to whether the proposition
would be legal, says the oregon Daily
Journal.
Suggestions of various members of
the committee point to five-story
modern building to be erected to
house the city and county prisoners
and accommodate the proposed emer-
gency hospital and municipal court
where the court house stands. The
simplest solution of the city and
county Jointly occupying the same
property in the minds of the COM
mitteemen is to have the city pay an
annual rental to the county for it's
share.
When the committee got together
yesterday similarity of ideas as to
what is needed and the best way to
obtain the results. was manifested as
soon as Judge Webster, representing
the county. and Councilman Concan-
non, for the city expressed their
views. With all obstacles as to the
building practically removed at the
outset the members discussed the
various phases of building structure
that would best serve for the purpose
to which the new structure is to be
put Even on these questions, the
committee was practically una!ni-
nous as to what would be required.
In the matter of a jailer for the
institution. once it is erected, 1t was
the opinion of the committee that one
man should be in charge Of all the
prisoners. Kitchens will be provided
for and the proper care and manage
ment of the prisoners will be sub
ject of greater consideration than
heretofore.
