Immigration Officers
 Becoming Active

Word has been received from Solo monville to the effect that a squad oi immigration officers, with Inspector George Webb of Tucson in charge, ap- pesred in Clifton last Saturday and arrested six of the employees of the store department of the Arizona Cop per company. charging them with vio lating the alien labor contract law.
 The men arrested are clerks and book-keepers who have recently come from Scotland to take positions with the company. A part or all of them are sons or other near relatives of stockholders of the company.
 It is stated that several of the high offic aIs of the company will also be arrested for bringing the men here under contract.
 It has been a matter of common ru- mor at Clifton for a long time that the alien labor contract law had been violated by the officials of the Arizona Copper company. Considerable sym pathy is felt for the arrested men, who are placed in a very humilisting posi- l ton, as they came here intending to | become citizens. z.

The Foreign Office
 Of Arizona Territory

On account of the growing business
 between the territory of Arizona and
 the nations of the earth a foreign office
 may become a necessary adjunct of the office of the governor.
 Governor Kibbey has just disposed of two matters calculated to bring
 Arizona into more harmonious rela-
 tions with foreign countries. The fret
 was in connection with 6 complaint
 which had reached the government of Austria Hungary that subjects of that country employed on the dam ct Roosevelt had been maltreated. The matter was brought to the notice of the governor through diplomatic chan nels, and it was referred by him to Engineer L. c. Hill who after inves- tigstion reported that the complaint was without foundation.
 The governor has also succeeded in efecting the settlement of . Russian I estate, that of one Albert Richard Rudolph de Witte, probably no rela. tive of the former premier. De Witte died some months ago in the south- ern part of the territory, leaving $6O0 on deposit in a bank at Douglas He left a couple Of female relatives at Mi. tau in the province of Courlsnd and :hey learning of their hardship in some way, began trying ts come into their inheritance. They were not making treat headway. ard finally the inn 'eriai consul at San Francisco took he matter up with Governor Kibbey Eith the result that the latter learned , esterday that sl20. all that is left of , he estate of the deceased De Witte, , now at the disposal of the proper , uthorisies.-Phoenix Republican. h

The Arizona
 Prairie Chickens

A couple of wellknown Phoenix people, though both of them some.
 what new in the country. had lively experience the other day on a hunt ing expedition. One of the gentle men, who Is a musician oi some note, has read great deal about prairie chickens and has always wanted a chance to shoot one. They had not driven far into the country until they met A road runner. The bird sent & thrill through the musician's frame for he felt sure that he was face to face with prairie chicken. He fired but os course the shot failed to take effect. Nobody can shoot fast enough 10 catch & road runner. But the fact that the bird did not fly was evidence to the hunters that it was crippled. It started down the road and they fol- lowed as fast as they could on foot, hoping to catch it and kill it in some easy and humane manner like wiring ing its neck. How far and how fast they ran will never be known and it is only certain that they had DO prairie for supper. Their friends are now planning a snipe hunt for them, some convenient Saturday night

The U. s. Attorney
 Watching Railroads

United States District Attorney
 Alexander is close herding the rail- roads in respect of the safety appli- ance law, which requires all cars to be equipped with apparatus for uncoup- ling, withou: the necessity of step- ping between the cars. He has brought suit against the Southern Pacific in the second district for a violation of the law at Benson. Recently the Ari- zons & New Mexico company pleaded guilty to a charge brought n Globe and was fined Sl00. Last fall the Fl Paso < Southwestern was convicted and gave notice of appeal, but recently abandoned the appeal and paid the fine. Mir. Alexander says the rail- roads are for the most part equipped properly and the close watching is only to see that they do not become neglectful. That is when the ma gets out of repair it is sup posed to be fixed at the first car shop the car gets into. and no attempt is made to hold . company for damages en route, but when it is shown that car is sent put of shop with a defective device, he attorney gets busy.

 At Tempe Normal

In order to encourage interschol- astic meetings in general and one re- lsting to Reclamation in particular, The Tempe Normal Student, the weekly paper published by the school, is arranging an interscholastic declam- ation contest to held at the Normal auditorium on the evening of Satur- day, March Is.
 In the contest as many of the high schools m the territory as are able and willing to send contestants sill be represented, and from the reports that the management Of the paper has received it seems that this will include nearly every one. Each high school will be represented by only one par ticipant, that one to be chosen by any means which the school may see fit, but it goes without saying that the school desirous of having it's repre- sentative take first honor will send l the rest available. On that account it IS evident that the night of the con- test will find gathered together at the | Normal the best talent in the schools ' Ni Arizona. The Student will offer two medals. first and second prize and to be the possessor of one will be no small honor.
 The schools questioned upon the subject have almost without exception responded promptly and in the affirm ative. Phoenix and Mesa have signi fed their intention of putting a con testsnt each in the event. and othel schools from greater distance, Tucson Tombstone, Douglas, Bisbee, Glob' and Jerome, expect to do likewise and there are other high schools ye to be heard from.

Heavy Travel
 To the West

The colonist travel to California and the west has ,begun in earnest since the special rates went into effect on the first of this month. The colonist rate became effective on March 1 and it will, be on until the last of next month.
 The Fl Paso Herald says: Last night the California Fast Mail No. ' left here for the west oyer the South eIn Pacific with double header pull- ing l5 ca g. All of the tourist sleep CTS were loaded to the guards and it was estimated that over 800 were on their way to California on the train. Three tourist cars full of colonists destined for the Golden State arrived on the helated Southwestern train No. % from the north yesterday afternoon. The sleepers left on the Southern Pa. cifc last night for the west with their occupants.
 "The tourist travel has just set in, as the special rates have been in effect onl, five days, inc uding today, which has allowed those to pass through here leaving on the first day the tick cts were on from the extreme east.
 "It IS expected that many thou sands of people will pass through this point on their way to Cal fornia the next eight weeks during the sale of the colonist tickets. AS many laborers are needed in California, and the peo. pie of the east have grown more en. thusiastic over the coast during the last few years than they had up to the of the present century"

Very little is said nowadays about the iniquities of the great steel trust. Perhaps the fact that the unprotected poul- trymen and the other pro ducers who are not supposed to derive any benefit from the Dingley tariff have put up prices for their products to a higher notch than the much abused steel trust. When eggs, butter cheese, and other essential products are away up it does not show sound discriminating powers to sin gle out high-priced manufac. turers as awful examples.
