Women forgive injuries but they
never forget ts.-llallburton.
The Coconino sun., 1907-06-06

The old Tease law'' advocates asked for an act of congress pro- viding for the unconditional leas- ing of the public grazing lands of the west. This was fought by small owners of all kinds of stock, and especially sheep men who grazed districts of the country that could not be handled in that way. President Roosevelt s.public land commission, after three years study, recommended a permit sys- tenn, similar to that now in force in the forest reserves. If newspa- per reports are to be regarded as correct forecast, there is a strong effort being made among certain representatives of those interests that would be benefited thereby to revive, at the coming public land convention at Denver, the straight lease law policy. It has been claimed that this policy has the support of President Roosevelt. If such policy is pressed at the Denver convention lively contest may be expected. Such a law would put large per cent of sheep men and small cattle owners out of business in New Mexico and Arizona, as we'll as in most of the western states.
The Coconino sun., 1907-06-06

The citizens of any prosperous town are always public-spirited and united. Stand together, work for the interests of the whole town. Always stand ready to do your part. Don't grumble and spend your time in prophesying failures, but help to make every enterprise a success, be it great or small. Be energetic and enterprising, and your example will be initiated.

Arizona River and Flood Warning
 Service,

Recognizing the importance of river observation in Arizona dur ing the periods of flood, the chief of the United States weather bu- reau has authorized the establish ment of river and food warning service for the territory, beginning on May I, 1907. The river and tlood-warning service of the weath- CT bureau, inaugurated in the early 7os having been the means of saving hundreds of lives and prop erty to the extent of many millions of dollars now practically covers every state and territory in the United States, service of this class having but lately been estab- lished in Western Texas and New Mexico with great success.
 The Arizona river service com prises the territory embraced with in the Colorado river and tributar- ies and the Gila river and tribu- taries, under the general supervis- ion of the official in charge, Den yer, Colorado.
 The Phoenix, Arizona, district river center, including the water shed of the Gila river and tribu- taries, will be in charge of the section director at Phoenix. River gauges within this district will be located upon the tubular steel piers of the Southern Pacific Rail- road company's bridges over the Salt river at Tempe, Arizona, and the Gila river between Phoenix and Maricopa. Special rainfall stations will be established al Benson, Jerome, San Carlos and Seligman.
 The Denver, Colorado, district river center, for Arizona, including the watershed of the Colorado river and tributaries, will be in charge of the district iorecaster at Dem yer, Colorado. River gauges with, in this district will be located al Grand Canyon, Arizona, and Nee dies, Arizona. Il. N. Iesonufski, section director U. $. weather bu- reau, Phoenix.

Some months ago the matter of freight rates to Flagstaff was taken up between the Board of Trade and the railroad company. The matter has been hanging on for several months, but little has been accomplished. That Flagstaff has the distinction of having the high est freight rate in the United States is not a distinction she enjoys. That an adjustment of freight tar ifs to this place can be made by an earnest effort on the part of our business men is evident. The rail- road officials seem willing to do what they can to help us, but they must be shown, and it takes time and patience of both the business men and railroad officials to reach a deClSlon. Let the WOrk begun in this direction be continued and the result will be of mutual benefit to all parties interested, and a more congenial feeling will result between the shipper and the rail- road, as one cannot we'll get along without the other.

Territory Wins.

The United States supreme court has affirmed the decision, with costs, in the case of the Cop per Queen Consolidated Mining company vs. the territorial board of equalization of the territory of Arizona on appeal from the su- preme court of Arizona. The ap- peal was brought by the Copper Queen company from the principle laid down in a decision by the su- preme court of Arizona in 1905 sustaining the board of equaliza- ton in its contention that it had power to increase the assessment of the mining company, though it was held that in the case in con troversy the power had been irreg- ularly exercised.
