MENTIONS SMITH
 AS COMMITTEEMAN
Tucson Has Visit From Lead ing Warren District
 Mining Men,

TUCSON, Aug. 15.-Hoval A. Smit1 and Ii. B. Hovland, his mining part neT, have been at the Santa Rita ho- tel for several days. These gentlemen are largely intrested in the develop mt of Arizona mins and have large interests in the Bisbee country
 At Globe they are developing what is belieed to be. valuable property under the name of the Globe Con- soiidated.
 Thse gentlemen are also inter- ested in Pima county and have been here to confer with their local man agers.
 They were the promoters of severaI companies in the Bisbee country in- ciuding the Warren Development com pany. which is the owner of the new town of Warren. which is being laid as the beauty spot" of the Warren mining district.
 With water secured from the min ing companies at Bisbee the Warren Development company is cultivating several hundred acres of fertile land on the flat below Bisbee and in con- nection with their agricultural enter prise a dairy Is operated which fur nishes Bisbee with milk. Vegetables are also an important product of the Warren ranch
 Smith as has been mentioned by his republican friends in Cochise county as a suitable man to hold the position of national committeeman for Arizo- na after the republican national con vention shall have been held in 1908.

WANT HENEY ON
 ANTI R. R. TICKET

The following is an extract from an editorial in the Los Angeles Record:
 The mention of Francs J. Heney as a possible candidate for governor of this state, or for any political of fee, is so dangerous a blunder that it raises a doubt if they are friends of Mr. Heney and his work who thus seem to seek to honor him.
 MT. Heney can do as much for the purification of business and politics in California in his present position of ass 'stant prosecuting attorney at San Francisco as he could do from the executive office at Sacramento He Is doing more than the present governor is doing, or is likely to at tempt. Until his work is done, Mir Heney will be content, and his friends certainly must be content with him in the subordinate position in District Attorney Langdon's office.
 Unfortunately the booming of MT. Heney for governor was made part of the announcement of the organiza- tion of the Lincoln-Roosevelt league and it may prove difficult to d!sabuse the minds of the impression that the league came into being for the pur- pose of advancing the fortunes of the peerless prosecutor of corrupt busi- ness men and politicians.
 Such IS not the truth.
 "The leagues inception was in the growing determination of the people of this state to free themselves from the bonds put on them by the South ern Pacific railroad. The people are preparing to strike for freedom, and the Lincoln-Roosevelt league is meant to be an instrument in their hands. Its purpose is not to boom Theodore Roosevelt for a third term or to boom MT. Heney for governor.
 The league, if it's purpose has been correctly stated, will assist in the election of an independent legislature in the general election next year, a legislature whose members shall be pledged only to perform the will of the people and in doing that will se- feet for the United States senate, to succeed Senator George c. Perkins, a man of the people, not of the South ern Paciac railroad"

STEER FROM MEXICO
 FOUND WITH TICKS
Causes a Quarantine Order Against Cattle from Ger
 tain Sections in Sonora,

DOUGLAS, August 15.--(Special.)-
 Because of the discovery of ticks on a steer which was brought to Agua Prieta a few days ago in a herd of 1O4 head of cattle from the Gabolon- da ranch, south of Douglas, Dr. John ston, the government veterinary doc tor stationed here, issued a quarantine order against all cattle on the Cab olonda ranch and all cattle up and down the Bapispe river. The Cabul- Iona and Hohstadt ranches are also under temporary quarantine because of the fact that the herd in which was found the ticky steer passed through the range of these ranches.
 The steer on which the ticks were found at Agua Prieta when the herd was being inspected by Dr. Johnston was destroyed. Other cattle in the herd were found with symptoms of having been infected and the quaran- tine order was at once made and the cattle returned to the Gabolonda range.
 Dr. Johnston has written to head quarters for instructions concerning the quarantine placed on the Cabul- Iona ranch and the Hohstadt ranch and this quarantine will likely be raised.
 The quarantine only applies to cat, tie in the section known as the Ba- bispe range, south of Douglas. There Is no restriction on cattle from other sections of Sonora.
 Ed. Tovrea, the Bisbee and Cana nea butcher, came to Douglas today to get full particulars about the quar- antine, having heard that it extended from Naco to Fl Paso. This is not the case and cattle from the Turkey Track range in Sonora. recently pur- chased by Tovrea will be allowed to cross at Nace this week However, all cattle from the quarantined sec tion of Sonora would be rejected at any port of entry. ... ..
 Dr. Johnston stated this morning that the herd in which was found the steer bearing fever ticks last week, was the first in he occasion to reject at this port since he came to Doug las 9 year ago, though it was known that ticks were prevalent two years ago among cattle on the Babispe river
 How long the quarantine will last depends upon the vigilance of the cat tlemen owning herds in the quaran- tined district in taking the necessary steps to destroy the infection.
 In the past few cattle have been of fered from the Babispe river for i'm portatiOn at this port; most of the cattle crossing the line here coming from the Cabullona and Hohstadt ranches and it is expected that the quarantine against these will be soon raised

LEVIN TALKS OF
 THE NATIONAL ] FOREST
Expert Has Fund of Experience On Tap-TellS Of Fight Among CattIenen Over Un- l branded Calves.
{SpeeiaI to Reyiewl

PHOESIX, Aug. 15.-F. H. Levin, vlho is stationed near Flagstaff in the Interests of the forest reserve, arrived in Phoenix for a visit of a month or more with his parents, who live on North Second street. He says he wants to make this a good, long visit becaRse while he has been stationed at Flagstaff for the last two years, had to see his relatives. on account of the close confinement of his work.
 Before going to Flagstaff, Levin worked for the government as a for ester near Folsburg, Neb., where they are attempting to grow forests on the extensive prairie lands The government spent about S1,SO0.O00 in planting trees and in incidental ex- penses. but while Levin was there they met with very little success. During the first year after the trees were planted. the hot winds from the surrounding desert killed about one third of the trees, and rabbits de- strOyed a great many more. Still others perished from drought.
 fhe second year a species of scale, known to science as the abalancthus, appeared and wrought great damage to the foliage of the trees before a remedy could be found potent enough to destroy the insect without also de- stroying the leaves and smaller branches
 Since leaving Folsburg, Levin says that remedy has been found for the abaIancthus in a mixture of salamO-

FLORIDA FRUIT MEN
 OBJECT 10 RATES
Claim Southern Pacific Gives California Low Rates to
 New York,

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Florida fruit growers have raised the question of the distance factor" in railroad rates by complaining to the Interstate Commerce Commission that they are charged almost as much for carriage 10 New York as California growers pay. One of the instances cited is rate of 94 cents per hundred on cer tain fruits from Florida to Neg York. a distance of 1900 miles, as eompaIed to a rate of S1.I5 that the Southern Pacific and its connections cnaTge from Los Angeles to New York, a haul of 3260 miles. This. the Florida growers claim, shows injustice which the commission is asked to correct.
 No question of discrimination Is In. volyed, for the rates are male by eff ferent roads. The real issue, ir t reaches a hearing, may result in e. hat; litating in popular esteem the misleading phrase, "All the traffic will bear" The factor determining the California rate is the competition which the producer of that state meets in the principal markets from his Florida competitor. If the Trans Continental Lines charged consider ably more than they do charge fer the 3260 mile haul from California, it would be equitable on a dist aace basis, as against the charge f1r the 1900 mile haul from Florida; but the traffic would not move at such a rate, and the California growers would be ruined.
 Nobody has claimed that the Flo-i- da growers are ruined because by means of a low rate California is given access to the eastern markets. FlOrida's nearness to the best market is an addntage she does not iUse through the fact that by charging no more than the traffic will bear the railroads put California in a position to compete.
 The Interstate Commerce Commits sion if it follows precedent will doubt less decide that distance Is only one, and not a controlling factor in rate making and that no one community is entitled to a monopoly of a market be- cause it is nearer than some other community.

MONTEMAYOR RUM0R
 LACKS CONFIRMATION

FL PASO, Texas, Aug. 10.-Confir- nation of a report current since Thursday that S. Montenegro, miss ing mayor of Juarez and grain broker of that city, charged in the federal court of Mexico with smuggling wheat into Juarez from the United States. was attempting to effect a compromise with the government by paying the duties and penalty of fines and return to Juarez, Is lacking.
 At the office of C.. Arguelles, a rel ative of Mrs. Montenegro and who is representing Montemyor as far as his property is concerned, 1t was stated that nothing in the way of settle ment would be attempted until the in vestigation of the case by the district court had been completed. It was in timated that efforts would be made to settle the case so that Montenegro can return to Juarez.
 The son of Arguelles, who assists his father in business affairs, said that he believed that Montenegro will be able to show that he has not in- tentionally violated the laws of Mexi- co and that n the course of time he will be allowed to return to Juarez and resume business.
 The four mill of Montenegro. which has been closed since his dis appearance from Juarez, Will resume operations again either tonight or to- morrow morning. The mill was closed down on account of the seizure by the government of wheat which, it was alleged, was smuggled into Juarez by Montemayor.
 Arrangements have been made by Senor Arguelles with the government by which a part of the seized wheat will be delivered to the mill upon Ar guelles placing money to the value of the wheat with dut'es due the govern ment, with the customs house. Senor Arguelles said the government readily consented to this arrangement, as 1t would much prefer to have the money than to have the wheat on it's hands.
 Senor Arguelles claims that Monte mayor is charged with smuggling only fourteen cars of wheat instead of twenty as had been reported in the Fl Paso newspapers. The duty on these cars amounts to $7000. With the penalty added, the total amount owed the government by Montenegro is s2,000. This amount can easily be paid by Montemayor if the govern ment consents to allow him to make settlement.
