TO StsVE lNsECT-EA FERS.
Milliners Now Plumber Farmers Feath-
cred Forces-Appeal to People Begun.

Protection of the insect-eating birds
whose destruction caused a crop loss OF
almost billion dollars to this country IN
the last year, will be made campaign
issue throughout the nation as the result
of general movement which was organ
lied in New York. Backed by the
oranges and other bodies representing the
farmers, orchardists, ranchmen and plant
ers of every section of the land the Ma
tional Association of Audubon societies Is
preparing to obtain from every present
and prospective representative OF the peo-
pie in every state in the Unlon definite
declarations of his stand on this question
of the conservation of the bird resources
of the commonwealth. Where the forces
of the milliners have been able to- exert
political pressure TO legalize their poach-
ing upon the teathered guardians OF the
crops. the people will rise this year to de-
mand that their own interests be pro
tected.
Representing an industry valued at less
than Sl2.000.000, a few Broadway feather
dealers have Just succeeded in defeating
in New York state the Francis bill for
the protection of the insect-eatlng birds,
behind which agricultural interests worth
over half a billion dollars were sohdly ar
rayed In spite of the united efforts OF
the $4,000 farmers represented m the state
grange and the Audubon workers, who
were backed by the press and people OF
almost every community in the state the
hiring of a lawyer whose political lntiu-
ence was undoubtedly used to prevent any
open consideration of the bill on the floor
of either branch of the legislature, with
other Vaccinations of the mllhners re-
suited in legalizing for another year their
traffic in property that belongs to the
state. As a first step in the general ma
tional campaign for the birds who guard
the crops. the record of each legislator on
this matter will be submitted to his con-
Stituents and every effort made to secure
from each district in this state represen-
tatives at Albany next year who Will be
pledged to heed this strong demand from
their agricultural supporters.
California. Missouri and Oklahoma have
Just been reported as adopting laws de-
Tending their bird crop guards against the
ravages of the feather dealers. which are
substantially the same as the bill which
the miliners have Just strangIed in this
state. Similar laws forbidding the sale or
possession of the plumage. skin or body

With Exception Of Completion Of Two
Wells 10 Ready For Traffic.

The new road to the Atlanta gold
camp has been completed. At least
that is the report brought to the city
few days ago by the contractor, E..
D. Stone. That is, 1t is finished ex-
cepting the digging of two wells alo; q
the way.
When Mr.. Stone undertook the job
recently, he felt confident that water
could be obtained within few feet
Of the surface at Craw Greek sink,
At last accounts, q depth Of 30 feet
had been attained-but no water. Nj
Stone has hopes, however, of getting
out of the sand formation and strik-
| ing bedrock before the 100-foot point
| is reached AS far as the second we
is concerned, there is no question but
what a good flow of water will be
obtained nearer the grass roots.
Mr.. Stone, as well as others, who
have been over the new route, pro-
nounce it as being first-class; that
lit can be travelled without difficulty
during any season Of the year.

STORM DESTROYS PROPERTY AT
 GOVERNMENT WELLS.
An Unusual Sort of Storm for This
 Country.

The report was brought to Mesa yesterday that the storm which touch ed this place lightly had done consid- erable damage othe government wells and also demolished the 75x4O hay barn at the last named tsation.
 E. R. Bryan, who is in charge of the government wells station, describes the storm very minutely. as he had it so impressed on his mind that he ran for the storm cellar, carrying his D. year-old child with him.
 According to MT. Bryan, the storm cloud seemed to form around Tortilla Flat and then came on down the riv- CT and up the canyon to government wells. Passing government wells 1t struck Superstition mountain and retraced it's path, finally diminishing at Mormon Flat The large hay barn supports or posts were not blown down in the ordinary way. but were twisted off close to the ground. Everything lying around loose near the Bryan residence was blown over into the canyon The rainfall was something terrific and none of the residences along the road were able to resist it, all of them reported as looking like sieves. The roadway ac- cording to d passenger who came down the line yesterday was badly washed in a good many places There are no very serious washOuts, only just a general wash along the three mile stretch.

FATHER AND SON
 MEET AT DEPOT
The Son a Convict En Route to the
 Pen at Florence.

Those who were at the depot yester- dya morning when the train from the south came in witnessed a rather pa thetic incident. It was more so to those who were familiar with the con- ditions. For over two weeks an aged Mexican, so old that his hair is gray. and his two daughters have been at the depot each morning in anticipation that the train would have with it a car of convicts, and that in that car would be one especially dear to them. The old man is the father of one of the Mexican revolutionists sent up from Tombstone some time ago and for two weeks has been patiently waiting for a chance to see his son again.
 The opportunity came yesterday morning, for the convict car was at tached and in 1t with the other con- victs was the son and brother. The meeting was a joyful one. and during the stop of nearly two hours here the old man stood bareheaded in earnest conversation with his son. By the fa- ther and TWO sisters the convict Is re- garded as a wonderful man, and not withstanding his present condition of servitude is greatly admired.

Yes terday he was neither handcuffed nor in stripes. The car was partly occu- pied by the women prisoners. who were probably more of curiosity than the men.

ITEM PIE
TAXES ARE HIGH
 THE REASON WHY
An Increased Rate and Not an ln-
 creased Assessed Valuation.

Andrew Nelson feels that he has trouble the last few days. It began | coincident with the mailing of the tax notification cards a short time ago. A majority of the Tempe taxpayers, who up to this time have received their notification, first after looking at the figures thereon, used little strong language and then promptly jumped onto MT. Nelson, who was the local assessor last year, and accused him of doubling the assessment. Thus far the cards have only been mailed out down as far as the letter F, and for fear that by the time the rest of the alphabet is gone through his entire time will be occupied in making ex- plantations. Mir. Nielsen desires himself set right before the public through the press.
 Those who have already received their cards are aware of the fact that taxes are about 50 per cent higher this year than they were last This. how ever, is accounted for by the difference in the rate of taxation and not in the dsSeSSeu NdludtiOH. Last year rate was s2.26 on the hundred. this year it is s3.71-a difference of s1.45 on every hundred dollars valuation. That amounts to something on a few thou sand dollars worth of property. The rate this year. in so far as Tempe peo- pie are concerned, is divided as fol- lows:
 County and territorial tax s3 .02. of this amount 32 cents is to be used on roads and bridges. Tempe Union high school maintenance 54 cents; bonds for the same 15 cents, bringing the total up to s3.71
 This has been a prosperous year, though. and a great deal of progress has been made in this section; it is consequently not surprising that taxes are higher. but the dedeeming feature of the situation is that in Tempe, at least. there is something to show for it.
