Cattlemens' Convention

The American National Livestock association is in session at Los Angeles this week. The cattle in- dustry is one of the greatest in the United States, representing a cap ital of of $4, OOO,OOO,OOO. The prin- cipal speech of the second days meeting was made by Dwight B. Heard, president of the Arizona Stockgrowers' association, who en- dorsed federal control of the ranges. MT. Heard said that large majority of Arizona cattle men favored the measure and be- lieved it should be given a trial.
 Within Arizona, MT. Heard said. we have 12,759, ,19O acres of nation al forests. Within these Arizona national forests are pastured 1O8,- 900 head of cattle, 279.O0O head of sheep and $500 head of horses. On the grazing lands within the forests of Arizona grazing is regulated and annual feeding permits are issued at 35 cenls per head for cattle, 12 cents per head for sheep and 40 cents per head for horses. On the public lands without the forests grazing is free, yet so definite are the advantages of protected grazing within the forests that cattlemen of Arizona, both large and small, are practically unit in support of placing the public grazing lands under federal control similar to that exercised in the national forests. The cattlemen realize that the administration of the bill will be under the control of the United States forestry service, whose oper ation in Arizona has been exceed ingly efficient, practical and to the best interests of the territory at large.
 Hon. E s. Gosney of Flagstaff, president of the Arizona Wool growers association, also addressed the meeting.

Passing of the Calves
TCommunicated.l

Much comment has been made by our local people about the cattle belonging to Miner Owen and Emmet James, and seized by In- spector Holden. and yet very few clearly understand how it was that after Owen and James each recov- cred judgment against Holden, in replevin, for the cattle, or their value, that they were afterwards forfeited and sold by order of the justice of the peace at Seligman.
 That this may be understood, it must be known that after such judgment Owen and James had the right, under the Arizona laws. to elect whether they would take the cattle or abandon them and take the value as fixed by the judgment. In these cases they elected to take the cash judgment, on account of the present condition of the ami mals, and upon such election. under the statutes, the title to these ami mals at once vested in MT. Holden and he could as we'll have sold them at private sale as upon any forfeiture and sale. For this reason the claimants, having no further interest in the animals, made no appearance at Seligman and took no part in the sale.

PROBABLY MISQUOTED

Councilmen Hunt and O'Neill and Assemblymen Sutter, Merrill and Duffy, the committee appointed by the legislature to investigate the normal school at Flagstaff, passed through here Sunday evening, and on Monday made a thorough in- spection of the normal buildings and grounds. Their report to the legislature will probably recom- mend that the proposed appropria- ton of S25,OO0 to establish man. ual training department at the school do not pass.
 Members of the committee were interviewed by representative of the Jouroaj Miner while in Pres cott after their return from Flag staff, and all of the assemblymen declared they were opposed to any further appropriation for the insti. tuition. Assemblyman Sutter, ac- cording to the Journal Miner, said: "l will oppose any measure intro duced in the legislature for an ad- ditional appropriation for the school. My visit to the place impresses me that the number of teachers gradu- ated from the place could be edu- cated at less expense to the terri tory in institutions of learning in other states"
 Continuing MT. Sutter said: "Pro- lessor Taylor informed my asso- ciates on the committee that hun dred teachers were enrolled. Per sonally 1 found the number in the thirties. Two boys were met in the boys dormitory and three girls in the girls dormitory. Further search revealed the fact that only six boys lived in the boys' depart ment and twelve girls in the girls department of the school. Cooks and walters in both divisions of the institutions showed that the boys lived as comfortably as New York club men. There is no valid reason for maintaining the institu- tion at such a great expense to the territory, considering the small number of teachers graduated. I am not" Mir. Sutter added, Gin favor of the territory abandoning the place or disposing of it. I con sider it an admirable location for a branch of some of the other terri torial institutions. It could be changed at a reasonable expense to branch insane asylum. A large number of the unfortunates of the asylum for the insane at Phoenix, who must suffer agonies in the summer climate there, could be cared for in Flagstaff, adding much to their comfort"
 Assem- blyman Merrill of Graham county said: II feel it is my duty as member of the legislature to vote against any further appropria- tions for the Flagstaff Normal. The esta blishment of Pioneers home in northern Arizona is fav- ored and the normal school build ing at Flagstaff could be used as a home for aged pioneers, thus saving the expense of purchasing site and building a home in another place."
 Assemblyman Duffy of Santa Cruz agreed with his colleagues.

 By Weedin-To abolish the office of territorial examiner, and to do away with the territorial rangers. It is certain there will be a big fight over the anti-ranger bill. Some of the legislators are strongly of the opinion that the rangers could be dispensed with while others are equally convinced that the territory would make great mis- take if it would do away with these officers.
 Pace presented a measure provid- ing that consignees who suffer da m- age from breakage of goods in transit, need not pay freight charges until the damage is made good by the railroad company.

Miraculous strawberry sox.

Luther Burbank. at a dinner in San

ecdote to eulogy of his new crea-
lion, the spineless cactus.

berry box that the fashionable fruit
erer Of the east uses. That is Gre

He smiled
"A fashionable New York fruiter-

June morning to go to the back OF his
shop and ill a box with two-dollar
grade Strawberries for Mrs Van
Golde.
The boy a moment later called
from the rear:
Hey. there amt enough berries

sneered at the boy.

WESTERN BANKS ARE
OVERLOOKING WITH MONEY

Washington, d. c., Aug. 26.-West
ern banks and those of the interior
generally are overfiowing with money
They can get along with little aid
from eastern banks. This is the view
of Acting Secretary Norton of the
Treasury, who has just returned from
Beverly, where he had a conference
with the president. Any talk indicat-
ing that the banks are pressed for
money with which to hove the crops
appears to be discounted by this view
of the acting secretary
Officials of the Office of the comp
troller of the currency held that no
better evidence of the prosperous con
diti0n Of the county can be found
than the banks. They point out that
not for two months has there been a
failure Of a national bank.

II man really would like to have
daily paper from which all crime
stories are omitted. he can get it now
in the Christian Science Monitor. That
paper leaves out not only crime but
all news of human pain and misfor-
tune. There are no accident stories.
1t might on this account be good
paper for young children to read
particularly in view of the fact that
for the present at least it is kept re-
markably clear of any direct Chris
tain Science teaching. But the
grown man who reads The Monitor
will soon conclude that dweller in
a world of reality needs something
very different from this idyllic Miss
Nancy journalism. II he reads his
daily paper with any purpose at all,
|it must be to get picture of the
world he lives into find what he Is
'up against as citizen of the pres
ent times. And unless he prefers to
have his homestead in a FOOLS para
disc, he certainly does not want his
daily picture of human society to be
falsified with dillettante censorship
that makes it a different world from
what it Is. AS long as the world is
actually a world of sin, he needs to
have the sin reported to him, so that
he may not misunderstood his age.
The demand Of sane common sense on
daily journalism is not therefore for
false report Of the way the world
wags or wabbles. But It is demand
for fairer report than the average
daily paper is giving today--a report
that shall not exaggerate the evil and
shall give an equitable prominence to
the forces which are overcoming the
evil. The true complaint against the
typical American newspaper is not
that II is unlike The Monitor but that

rresiding over court in the north
ern counties. he met with many diff
eulties. When he sentenced crini-
nal to the state prison, the sheriff was
obliged to take the prisoner out of Ida
no into Washington, thence into Ore
gon and back to Idaho to reach the
state capital and on several occasi-
ons the officers were delayed by writs
of habeas corpus, issued by a judge
at Portland, who demanded to know
why the sheriff was taking prisoners
through territory not in his jurisdic-
tion.
This and other causes combined to
create a sentiment in favor of annex
ing the northern counties of Idaho to
Washington. On this issue Judge
Buck was nominated on an independ-
ent ticket for congress against Fred
Dubois, republican. and J. H. Hawley,
democrat He was given the unani-
nous vote of several precincts but
was defeated by Dubois.
When President Cleveland was elect

ed judge for four years and when
some of Mr.. Cleyeland's friends ask
ed for the appointment he replied:
There is no vacancy"
Shortly after he moved to Palouse,
Wash, and edited The News of that
city and later established a law Office
in Spokane. He was elected judge of
the superior court of Spokane county

Following service in Missouri, where
he assisted in routing General Price,
he went to Paducah. KY, then en-

at Mobile when the war came to a
close, having served three years and
one day. He returned to Winona,
and shortly afterward was appointed
probate judge to fill an unexpired
term. being also elected later to serve
four years.
Coming to the northwest he was ap-
pointed by President Hayes in 1878
as United States attorney for Idaho.
He found that great depredations had
been committed by the timber thieves
and he prosecuted Jay Gould and a
son of Brigham Young The former
case was settled out of court by
Gould paying $4,000 into the Indian
fund.
Judge Buck was appointed associa-
te judge of the supreme court of Ida
no in 1881 He was assigned to the
four northern counties and took up
his residence at Lewiston In this ser
vice he had some interesting expert
ences. He first held court at Pierce

This was changed to Eagle, and the
