 "lf it is 6 matter Of sufficient con . sequence to demand it, one member of the board will visit the complain. ing parties and take up the matter with them. The finances of the board are somewhat limited and it will be more economical to act m this manner than to have the inter- e-ted shippers attend the meetings st Phoenix.

The Question Arises
 How Are They Fixed r

We hope the old Arizona boys who are to be turned out in the regular administration house cleaning, did not soak their burros and blankets under the influence of the fleeting midsummer dream" which they enjoyed for two brief years.
 We trust they may yet be useful citizens, dashing their disappointment to the winds and return to the arms of material conditions in Ari- zona, proud of the distinction of past service and leaving their respective records fram- ed in vanished redwood for the admiration of their pos- terity.
 "Verily. verily," sayeth the preacher, "all is vanity; the tender clover cometh up in the morning and the coarse Johnson grass overtaketh 1t in the afternoon and smother etb it down."
 On the very'steps ssof the temple of fame, a gust of mis- fortune dasheth him backward and he cometh up in heap
 Good luck to the new crew on their voyage, and may II rebound to the glory and pros perity Of Arizona.
