many amusing incidents in connection
 with the collection of the dimes. one ! of the funny ones was when Rube l Shields, more or less official announcer
 at the fair races, so far forgot himself
 as to remark that he wouldn't buy any fof the little tags-he wanted a big
 one. A tag three feet long and two wide was made out of pasteboard and Miss Favar, of the Kelly Gamble com pany tied it to one of the few remain ing buttons on Rube's coat. Then she held up her bank. and Rube. with the eyes of ten thousand people upon him,
 bid a sad farewell to a silver dollar as it disappeared in Miss Favar's bank.
 The grand stand rose to it's feet and
 cheered this act of heroism, for it is rumored that it is the first money Rube ever spent this way.
 Members of the Kelly and Gamble company left the Third Avenue theater
 about l pm. in the beautiful big, blue seven passenger Mitchell car, the use of which for the day was donated by P. II. Greer of the Greer Robbins com pany of Los Angeles which has the Arizona as well as California agency for these cars. The car was driven by Robert L. Greer.
 The first stop was made on Wash ington street where Miss Favar, Miss
 Inez Allen, Miss Ruth Ellsworth and Miss Hazel Kirke were kept busy col lecting dimes and dollars and lodging requests for their telephone number and home address. Then the Hotel Adams was invaded. Here the work was apportiOned. Miss Allen picking out the fat men and Miss Favar the thin ones. Leon T. Shettler fell prey to Miss Allen, while George PurGy Bull ! lard dragged the reluctant dimes from | his vest for Miss Favar
 From the Hotel Adams the motor ! car sped out to the fair grounds where ! the actresses swooped down on the | grand stand. Miss Aliens terrier, 1 Honey Boy" who has travelled all over | the country in a suit case with a hole | in the end, was soon decorated with tags and collected at least a dollar on his own account. Part of the time Honey Boy sat in a box where he was looked after by Bob Greer and part of the time he wandered about the audi ence collecting a few tags just for fun
 Thanks are due Mir. F. P. H. Greer for the loan of his Mitchell which is just out of the factory and received its first warming up yesterday. By some the car promised by Greene and Griffin was unavailable.

 The young people of Arlington tend cred a surprise to the Johnston fam fly last Saturday night. The evening was spent in playing various party games, and was enjoyed by all pres ent
 The cotton fields of this district are looking real white They were visited by a frost a little over a week ago which killed the leaves on top of the stock and that lets the sun shine on the lower bolls, which cause them to mature and open much faster than they did before the frost. MT. Dem- ing has two negroes picking for him and they average about two hundred and thirty pounds a day and will be able to do better a little later on. The cotton growers expect to have a gin here in a few days. MT. Strickland received word from the manufacturers that the gin is on the road.
 Johnnie Montgomery is spending a few days in Phoenix on business. Of course he will visit the fair while there.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
 PRODUCING RESULTS
Every Day Every Boy is a Little Better
 Than the Day Before.

Professor w. H. Lee, instructor at the territorial industrial school arrived
 in the city yesterday morning to see the end Of the fair. The school, he says, is flOurishing and the bows are getting better every day. Since his arrival in Phoenix he has met several of the alumni of that institution and he was glad to learn that they had not relapsed into the old ways which had resulted in their matriculation. Nearly all of the members of the Phoenix con tingent have done themselves proud and he does not believe that society will ever have any more trouble with them.
 One of the little boys from this town has been detailed as assistant to Pro lessor Lee. At first he was given charge Of the magazine library more for the purpose Of keeping him out of mischief. He entered into the work with so much zeal that his duties, have been enlarged and he has been pro- noted to the position of assistant in- structor in English His pupils are Indian and Mexican boys who do not know a word of the language. Pro- lessor Lee has prepared a card of name pictures and also of pictures sig nifying motion. His assistant indus triously explains these to the new com CTS and they soon learn that it is morse" and not a "cavallo."
 The one drawback is the lack of em- ployment. Superintendent James Ma honey is doing the best he can and per haps more than any other head of a reform school in the United States, but he could do still more if there were more useful work at which the boys could be set.
 As far as possible the impression that they are prisoners is being remov- ed from them with the result that they l are kept on their honor and honor is that grows with use. The

THE DAGGS ESTATE
 TEMPORARILY TIED
An Injunction Issued Yesterday Against
 The Present Management.

Another step was taken in court yes terday in the litigation over the Daggs estate when application was made on the part of r. F. Daggs administrator of the estate of R. E. Daggs and on the part of John F. Daggs administra- tor of the estate of Malinda E. Daggs for an injunction restraining Hugh R. DaggS and r. B. Lyon from the man agement of the affairs of the estate or from disclosing any of the secrets of the estate. The latter prayer has to do with the incorporating business left by the Daggs Bros, who had offices in the Monihon block where the business has been continued by the defendants It is alleged in the complaint that they have collected $1O,OO0 belonging to the estate. The application included among the defendants the Western Investment company, the London company, the Calumet Consolidated company and the Arizona Charter Guaranty company.
 A temporary injunction was directed by Judge Kent on the filing by the ap- plicants of a bond for $500 It is the contention of the applicants, though that did not come out in the applica- tion, that neither R. E. nor A. J. Daggs left any estate. but that they Were op- erating with the property an1 money of Malinda E. Daggs. their mo ther and the mother of the applicants. This was brought out at the time of the applica- tion for letters of administration.
 The granting of the letters was op- posed by Hugh R. Daggs on the ground that there was no estate to be admin istered upon. The hearing on the in junction will take place this morning.

ressrs. Ferguson and Morgan have
returned home, and report a great
and enthusiastic meeting which prom
i.os to be of vast benefit to the cot

issued by a Joint conference com

follows,
I'VE. the Joint committee of the
National Farmers Union and Of the
financial and commercial interests Of

81 lation Of temporary superabundance
81 and restore normal conditions under
81 which remunerative prices may be OBJ
81 tanned hereby earnestly appeal to
81 every farmer, merchant and banker
81 and other holders and owners of cot

their present holdings and not sell

all other things in their power to
aid and encourage such growers and
holders of cotton, believing as we
do that all the business conditions
of the world, and especially of the
cotton world, steadily point toward
better prices than now obtain.
We believe that such concerted

HIGn COURT DECISION
Does Not Affect the High
way Commission Law
in Any Way

The decision of the supreme court a
few days ago, declaring unconstitu-
tional the law providing for highway
superintendents, does not affect the
highway commission law, and under
that law Superintendent Phil S.
Randall continues in Office, the only
difference being a change of title, and
a limitation OF authority to work done
on state roads,
The following letter to County
Auditor Butler from State Engineer
&. W. Cooley explains itself:
"The decision of the supreme court
has no effect whatever on the highway
commission law. You have no
superintendent but chapter 1853, Laws
Of 1905, IS still in force and authorize
your board to designate a superintend-
ent of construction who will have
charge Of all work done on state roads,
1T is only difference in name so
far as state roads are concerned, but
you have not the authority granted by
Chapter 45S to appoint superinten-
dent OF highways to take charge of
road work other than that done under
state aid -
MI. Randall was designated as su-
perintendent reconstruction some time
ago, and will continue in charge of
state highways on which most Of his
time has been taken.
