 Last Monday evening at $50 o'clock an extraordinary meeting was held of the board of directors of the local lodge of the "Sociedad Hidalgo de Ar tesanos Unidos No. l, of Nogales, So- nora, with the object of Investigating the suspected appropriation of funds of the lodge by the treasurer, MT, Manuel N Bernal, we'll known young man of Nogales, who for some time past has been in the employ of the custom house department of Wells Fargo & Go. Express.
 When asked to produce the Leces- sary documents that could enlighten the situation, Bernal presented state- ment showing a cash balance on hand of $l53O % Mexican currency w here as there only existed in the bank the sum of S285 %. leaving shortage of $1245 co
 After the long discussion that fol- lowed the discovery of such disgrace full act. the defrauding treasurer re- quested the board of directors not to. take any legal action against him until 10 o'clock the next morning, when he promised in writing, to produce the. amount of the shortage to the com mIttee appoirted by the lodge.
 When the town clock was announc- ing the hour of ten, the committee waited in vain for the delinquent to, show up with the cash promised, he having left town on the early morning northbound train, to escape the pun ishment that was going to be admin istered to him by the imparcial hand of justice.
 The committee acting in accordance with instructions of the lodge. which the high standard of phil. principles upon which it was founded, tried it's best to have the case settled in an amicable manner. and thus diminish the sorrow of a good father and mother. the real victims of the wrong doer; they called on the father of the absconding treasurer, and were asked to grant forty eight hours time in order to effect settle ment.
 The very worthy praise efforts of ths board of directors. the committee and others concerned, have been fully crowned with success.
 Thursday afternoon the unfortunate father in question, effected the settle- nent in full of the amount defrsuded, ;hus ending the disgraceful act of ,oasting young man, who was bouored md trusted by every body in this com nuaity. ONE OF TIE MEMBERS.

E. E. BetheiI, manager of the
 Washington Trading Company's big
 mercantile establishment at Patago- mia, was business visitor in Nogales Thursday, from the second city in the best little county in Arizona. MT
 Bethell stated that fine ore was now being hauled to Patagonia from the Hosey mines in the Santa Rita mo1n- tains for shipment to the shelter. A large body of high grade ore is said to have been recently encountered in the mine which is now being worked by William Kemp and his associates, who purchased the old property from Dr. Fersurs:n. August Yarick, Neil and John Mcdonald and J. w. Leek. The new owners are making the pay ments on the property as fast as they become due.

THE small boy had determined to
reform. His teacher had ex-
planned to him the text, Love thy
neighbor as myself" and the small
boy had taken the explanation to
heart. Hitherto he had not loved his
neighbor as himself, not even any of
his neighbors, for he was only a small
boy and had not as yet reached that
age when it is easy to love neighbor
the said neighbor being a girl. But
now the small boy resolved to be a
model little boy. This was an excel
lent resolution, but the boy went about
fulfilling it in a fashion that was the
reverse of discreet.

There is no congregation to which /

prisoners. Certainly no company of
saints could be more devout in their
participation in public worship The
way in which they all reverently

serves as a chapel, and the manner
in which they thunder their amens,
makes one hesitate whether to cry,
laugh or administer a rebuke for
hypocrisy. The volume OF song In
the singing Of familiar hymns would
put to shame most congregational
singing in America. The eagerness
OF the prisoners for literature Of
some kind is surprising. After every
service 80 or 40 crowd about me

other striking indication of the desire

HIGHWAY SUGGESTED FOR
MEMORIAL FOR LINCOLN
Road Connecting Cities Of Washing
ton and Richmond Favored by
Many.
(Arthur Wallace DUNN

Arthur Wallace Dunn.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-In this
centennial year, the hundredth an
niversary of the birth of Abraham
Lincoln, great effort is being made
to begin a suitable memorial for the
great president. There are differences
Of opinion as to what form it should
take, some contending for a monu-
ment in Washington, while others
think there should be erected in the
vicinity of the capitol magnificent
memorial arch. Another contention
is that there should be constructed a
great highway between Washington
and the battlefield of Gettysburg,
claiming that in Washington Lincoln
performed his great services to the
country and that at Gettysburg was
fought the battle which was the
turning point of the war and where
Lincoln delivered an address, which
will last as long as the English
language is read. An effective or
ganization has been at work for this
memorial highway.
If Lincoln is to be honored by a
great memorial highway, why should
it not be constructed between the city
of Washington and the city of Rich
mond? One was the capital of the
Union and the other the capital of the
Confederacy. Such highway would
pass through country where great
battles of the civil war were fought
and bridges could be constructed
across number of rivers along
which the great armeis of American
citizens, one side wearing the blue
and the other the gray, battled so
long and earnestly for what they be-
lieved to be the right. A Washing
ton-Richmond highway as memorial
to Lincoln would do a great deal
to bid closer the two sections
which have been growing closer and
closer together as the years went by
It is the city of Richmond where there
have been erected many monuments
to the men of the Confederacy and
has many to the men of
the Union. Both the north and south
could join in constructing such
highway and it would be very fitting
that the two sections should be unit
ed by such lasting memorial to
Lincoln.

PREDATORY ANIMAL BOUNTY.
Board Finds This Best Method and


Increases Bounty One Half.
The State Live Stock Sanitary
board at recent meeting held in
Boise increased the rate of bounty to
be paid for coyotes, cats, and lynx
from 81 to $1.50, and the rate on
timber wolves from 81 to S.. In the
future however, no poison will be
furnished to hunters.
The board is unanimously of the
opinion that the bounty system has
proven more successful than the old
plan Of employing trappers and hunt
ters by the day. 1t is pointed out
that since the present method went
into effect last January more preda-
tory animals have been killed at a
smaller expense than for any similar
period in the past. The board would
like to offer still larger bounty, but
the available funds will not permit.
Predatory animals have been de-
stroyed since the first of the year as
follows: Coyotes, 6245; cats, $780,;
lynx 20. In both Oyyhee and FIRE.
mont counties the number Of coyotes
exceeded 500, while in Boise county
almost one-half Of the total number
Of lynx reported were killed. Blaine
