 Southwestern Stockman: The butcher license was among the last bills to pass both houses of the legislature in its closing hours. Why this way so, only those on the inside can tell. It is now in the hands of the governor. and whether it becomes operative or not rests with him. The Stockman does not think it good measure, and would be pleased to see the bill die natural death-as will be the fate of many better measures.
 Bisbee Review: Ed Moore, gen eral manager of the Sulpher Springs Valley Cattle Co.,, arrived in the city from the home ranch of that concern in the valley, and is spending few days here negotiat- ing cattle deal of large dimen- slons. Moore states that in his ex- perlence as cattleman in this section he has never seen the rang es in better shape than they are at present, and predicts a most pros porous year for the cattle raisers throughout the southwest. Moore recently acquired for his company the large cattle lands of Jake Shearer.
 Southwestern Stockman: The first meeting of the new sheep sanitary board created by the last legislature was held during the early part of the week, and most of the time was put in perfecting the organization. Dan Francis, c. c. Hutchinson and James Scott, are the members. Mr. Francis being chairman. As this is an entirely new board, and the members have no previous records to fall back on, they will necessarily use good deal of caution at the start, but as they are all prominent in the sheep industry of the territory, they can be relied on to do what they think Is right.

Victoria. July 25.-The Rev. T. N Thompson, who arrived by the Aki Maru from Hau Chou Flu, In Northern Kiangsi and MT. Rice, who arrived with his family from Tsinkianghu on the Yangtese Kiang, were engaged in distributing famine relief to the suf- ferers in the affected districts ana have many narrowing scenes to tell.
 The deaths due to famine can scarce ly be estimate owing to the failure of the Chinese to keep any records. but in the Tsingkianghu district alone it is said l0O00 have died.
 Relief came slowly at first, but soon large amounts began to pour in both from the United States and govern ment sources. The Chinese govern ment gave a million and a half taels but how much of it reached the famine stricken people was difficult to say. There was also about a million and a half taels from the foreign relief in money and grain. About $25.000 is being retained for relief next season. the harvest being poor in the south. although good in north kiang Hu.
 Brieandage was worse this year than in China's history and the officials Were severe, over 400 executions taking place near Hau Chou Flu alone

Crook is young man of pleasing personal appearance and had always borne good reputation up to the time of his trouble in Etowah County.

Smauel W. Crook. who was sent up from Etowah County for six years for forgery. but who served only two years of his sentence was an early visitor to the Governors office yesterday. and together with his wife, who accompa- nied him. was granted an audience with Governor Conner.
 Crook thanked the Governor most heartily for te pardon which was is- sued for his release Wednesday after noon, and after a pleasant chat of few minutes duration. the happy cou- pie departed for their home at Jack sonville. Calhoun County wishing the Governor prosperity and long life.
 Since the day of his conviction two years ago Mrs. Crook has been work ing faithfully for the pardon of her husband. Although frequently dis with barely hope left. she plodded on and left no stone unturned that might help her free her husbands name from the stigma of crime of which she believed him innocent. Her faithful work of many months was re- warded Wednesday when the Governor his freedom.

Railway People.

Officials of railroads in Western
states with new laws reducing passen-
ger rates are depressed by the annual
report of the Cleveland & Marietta
line of the Pennsylvania system. whlcn
has just been issued
This line extends through one of the
most populous- sections of Ohio, and is
practically free from the competition
of electric lines. For these reasons
it is considered an excellent road by
which to judge fairly Of the workings
of the Ohio law ma king cents mile
the maximum passenger rate.
During the last year. with the cent
fare law in effect. there was an IN
crease of 1915 in the mum ber of pas
sengerS carried over the total IN 1913,
when fares were on a basis of 5 cents
mile. The increase in the number of
miles Travelled by passenge in 1906
was greater by 1855 miles than the
preceding year. or 12.4 per cent
Notwithstanding the increase in the
number of passengers carried and the
number of miles Travelled by passen-
gers, the earnings from passenger traf-
fic we're less by S4.399.50 in 1905 than
in 1905 The sole reason for the de-
crease in net passenger earnings. Pres
ident McCrea declares, is the smaller
average rate per passenger paid in
1906.
If that is the effect Of a maximum
2 cent fare law in so thickly populated
territory as that traversed by the
Cleveland & Marietta line. Western
railway officials declare they can not
escape a most serious decrease in pas
senger earnings in Nebraska Wfscon-
sin, Minnesota, and other states where
the average population per mile of
road is SO much less than il is in Ohio.
While no important steps have been
taken in that direction. all of the
Western railroads have been studying
how they can lessen the expense of
their passenger service without work
ing hardship on the people along their
lines 1t is certain that if the earnings
fail or the railroads will reduce the
number Of trains Perhaps the plan
which will be tried first will be annuI-

slightly. but IL is certain that much
greater extensions will be made as
