cago, and tell men and women there that they would have better and
more regular food and less work in the country, they would decline to
60. In the city they have an opportunity to be with each other and to
see what is going on.
l remember some Russian Mennontes who understood the advantage
of community. They came to Kansas and took up sections Of land, but
instead of each family planting itself in its own particular section, they
threw their land into a common farm and established their homes in the
center.
They were, so to say, the hub Of a wheel, and the spokes radiahng out
formed the boundaries of their holdings. Thus, after the days work, they
could enjoy their little diversions without undergoing q long and tire
some ride.
1 am hopeful, however, that action will be taken which will result
in the introduction of social reforms into the country, and when this IS
done I am sure it will be highly advantageous to all the people.

REV. FATHER oUETU PASSED
 THROUGH THIS CITY
(From Fridays Daily)

Rev. Father Alfred Quetu, for may years a resident of this city and the pastor at that time of the Cath ollie Church, George Mitchell, the president of the Clara Consolidated. Oscar Fayau, the mayor of Rille. France, and L. Treze, a prominent resident of that city, passed through Prescott yesterday en route to Swan sea. All are heavily interested in the Clara Consolidated, and they will devote several days to an examination of that enterprise.
 The arrival in this section again )f Father Quetu, was a pleasing event to his many friends in this city. He is now the pastor of the famous San Juan Capistrino mission, near Los Angeles, entering on his religious duties again after a long vacation.
 Father Quetu has become identified in California with one of the big agricultural undertakings on the coast, securing several hundred acres on which is being cultivated olives, fruits, nuts and other products. R. E. Butler, formerly a resident of this city, is the general superintendent of the farm. Father Quetu very much regretted that it twill be impossible owing to limited time, for him to stop here to renew the pleasant asso- citations of other days. He was eom- pelled to leave this field much against his wish, owing to the altitude affect ing his throat, specialists recommend ing a lower altitude.

TO RECEIVE HIDES
 ONLY AT STATED PERIODS.
From Thursdays Daily)

Gila county's crusade against the skunk hunters has reached this sec tion, and yesterday the board of SUD- ervisors of Yavapai joined hands with the southern officials and issued their manifesto, effective on January l, to the effect that thereafter no bounty pelts will be received until within five days previous to the quarterly meeting of the board, and payment will not be made until the quarterly accounts are audited.
 This action was taken in view of che heavy receipts that are daily com ing to the office, and the nuisance of the odor, together with the inconveni- ence of handling the numerous contri- buttons.
 During the past month there has not been a day but what from three to ten hunters have presented their bounty claims. In some cases it is shown that over 200 pelts had to be investigated for at least a dozen claimants.
 Some complaint has been heard by those who have occasion to visit the court house, that the skunk storage room in the basement, where the old county jail was located, emitted an odor that was stifing and at times unbearable through the heavy con- signment of fresh hides that were daily stored there.
 In the case of Gila county for one month, October, the total number of skunk hides received aggregated 27OO. As a consequence the board of supervisors of that county set aside certain days for the receipt and pay ment for pelts.
 Yesterdays receipts of hides were as follows: c. c. Casner of Beaver Creek, coyotes; Franklin Goddard of Camp Verde, skunks and l coon; c. c. Fredericks of Cienega, ? coy otes; J. E. Edens, skunks and l coon; A. W. Bradford, coyotes and 10 skunks; James Cash, Mud Tanks. , coyotes and skunks; James Me Nary, Walnut Grove, 65 skunks and coons.

IMPORTANT MINING DECISION.
(From Fridays DaiIy.l

NIiOm IIludy Ddly-)
 An important decision was render ed last week by Judge DOan, which will be of interest to mining men throughout the territory, since the findings will settle a mooted question with reference to assessment work when done in group. In the pres ent litigation, involving title to the Leadville COmpany group at Court land, it was held by the. court that where the work was done on one claim for the benefit and development of the entire contiguous group, the same covering the required expendi- ture for each claim, the assessment is held to apply to the entire group. In the ease of the Leadville company it was shown that the work done on the Copper Bug claim held for the nine adjoining claims of the group. Col. H. L. Pickett, representing the company, held to this principle and succeeded in Aeving a legal ruling es- tablished in Arizona on same, which is the first time the question has been before the Arizona eOurt.-Tombston Prospeetor.

MEXICAN SOLDIERS ALLEGED
 TO HAVE CROSSED LINE

Mexican troops are alleged to have crossed the Arizona line near Old Glory a few days ago, seized Am brosio Reyes, a Mexican resident of that place and have taken him back into Mexico, where it is said he has been impressed into the army, says the Tucson Citizen.
 The Mexican troops, on the testi- mony of a number of American resi- dents of Old Glory, came one-half a mile over the American line to seize Reyes.
 Reyes is a married man whose wife and family are living at Old Glory and are now husbandless and father less owing to the mans impress menu.
 Reyes brother in law, Miguel Quinn, has laid complaint against the action of the Mexican troops before the American consul at Nogales, and has received assurances that the mat ter will be taken up with the State Department immediately and steps taken to secure Reyes release.
 Old Glory is a mining camp 125 miles west of Nogales and about two miles distant from the Mexican line The line is clearly defined by a coun- try house which is almost exactly on it. The American residents of Old Glory declare that the Mexican sol diers came a clear half mile this side of the line 10 seize Reyes. The greatest excitement prevails in the neighborhood as the result of the action. Had the Americans in the vii cinity. been warned in time of the troops crossing the line it is declared there would have been trouble.
 Reyes is a Mexican and had never taken out citizenship papers in this country, but under internationsb law this has no bearing on the case. A number of Tucson people are aequaint- ed with Reyes and the utmost interest is being taken here in the affair.

ing up of the country, which a few months ago was unoeeupied desert land-now settled by hOmesteaders, scores of cabins dOtting the land seape, especially between Mesa and Florence. Not far from Marieopa fields of alfalfa are already growing. In view of the probability of a fav- orable report from the secretary of the interior regarding the San Car los reservoir site, many eyes are looking toward this portion of Pinal county for future settlement, and gov ernment lands are being filed upon.
 At Pieaeho a reservoir is in course of construction and the company backing it is obtaining possession of the rich lands watered by the Santr Cruz and planted to barley. Eight sections of school lands were re- gently leased to the company by the supervisors of Pinal, and are being rapidly located on, both by desert entry and homestead. The same condition holds near Cochise, the wide and beautiful valleys of that county showing new beginnings of homes along the railroad. When statehood comes a new impetus will be given and will find us, meantime. better fitted for our new dignities. CIas. R. Sligh, president, and NJ. J. Clark, vice president of the Casa Grande valley canal, of Grand Rapids, Mich. were here last week looking over the valley and were greatly i'm pressed with the possibilities of this portion of Arizona as to development by irrigation from the San Carlos reservoir, and will begin work on the enterprise as soon as a favorable decision is rendered by the govern ment preserving the reservoir ste from destruction by the railroad. It is said Colonel Randolph favors :he withdrawal of the road to a higher @o va m NANSI tO buAieA lIt ltNsfi ' ulI At all events the residents here are filled with hope and acting aeeo, d. ingly-improving, building and put ting things in shape for the near future
 Pinal is far more prosperous now than ever before and coming into her own. Her possibilities have aI- ways been good, although within few years unreeognized save by the comparative few who always had faith and high hopes. For this req son the large school house and court house and other buildings were con- strueted somewhat in advance of the real needs of the town here, but gre none too large for presen: use. Good news comes from different mining camps, from the Superior of a recent strike on the 1900 foot level exposing a pay streak of gold ore running thousands of dollars to the ton.

 DOUGLAS PASToRATE.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

At the close of the evening ser vice last Sunday Rev. Francis T. Walker presented his resignation co the First Baptist Church. stating he had received a call from Douglas. He earnestly requested the congregation to accept the same. After a number had expressed their sincere regre, the resignation was reluctantly ac- cepted.
 Rev. Walker came to Prescott two years ago last August from Lans- dale, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Phil adelphia.
 During this time he has taken an active part in Sunday School work and at the last annual convention was elected President of the Arizona Sunday School Association and Sup erintendent of Teacher Training Work in the Territory. He also enjoys the honor of being the President of the Baptist Ministers Conference of the Arizona Baptist Convention. He IS a man of high intellectual attaln- ments, an earnest and energetic. church worker, and a man who IS popular with all.
 MT. Walker has a host of friends who will deeply regret his departure and who wish him God speed in his new field of labor upon which he enters January l. The First Baptist Church of Douglas and the First Baptist Church of Phoenix are the only twol self-supporting churches of that denomination in the Territory. the former having a membership of 194
 The Douglas Dispatch of recent date contains the following an nouncement: "The First Baptist Church of Douglas held its Annual Conference at the church Wednesday evening and by unanimous vote ex- tended a call to Rev. Francis T. Walker of Prescott, who has been filling the pulpit on invitation of the congregation for a month past. So pleased have been the Baptists of Douglas with the Prescott pastor that it is understood he has been of fered a substantial increase in salary if he accepts the call and returns to Douglas. ''

HIS FORTUNE SPENT,
 MAN DIES AT COUNTY FARM.
From Thursdays Dany)


 James Stewart, an inmate of the county hospital, succumbed yesterday to injuries received at Ash Fork on November l, at which time he and two companions were burned with kerosene applied to the soles of their feet and ignited by some malicious person. The three men were en route to Prescott, travelling from the west. At Ash Fork they took shelter for the night in an abandoned building. While sleeping the place was entered by some dne who poured the oil over their feet and ignited it. Stewart received the worst burns from the blaze, but Mccormick, his associate, was also severely burned The other man was not seriously injured, and continued the trip to the east.
 Stewart and Mccormick were brought to the county hospital in this city three days later. Mccormick recovered speedily. Stewart s burns apparently healed, but a few weeks ago dropsy developed. Up to the time of his death he complained of much pain in the foot that was burn

 Henry LOvin of Kingman, of the freighting firm of Lovin & Withers, passed through the city yesterday from Pinal county, where he went some days ago to secure horses for his firm. He says the scarcity of animals is one of the main draw backs to mining progress at several camps near that city, and to remedy the trouble was his mission to the south. He secured several animals, but not enough. He says that Mo have county as a gold producer is entering an era that places it at the head of any other section in the west, and that many of the big Op- orators of Nevada are rushing to it with heavy capital.

Adviees from Jerome last night stated that ex-Senator Clark had reached here on his usual examina- tiOn of the United Verde interests. He will remain for several days. It has been many years since MT. Clark visited Prescott, and his many friends here would be decidedly glad of the opportunity to extend him welcome and to show him the city that has been built up so handsomely since the memorable fire of 1900, a short time previous to which the Senator paid his last visit. It is said that if he can be prevailed to come the S. F. P. S P. will make it convenient for him to run down from the June ton without interfering materially in his travelling schedule.

IN FRONTIER FASHION.
J. W. Dougherty and Wife to Go
 Overland to San Diego, Cal.
From Thursdays Daily,

John W. Dougherty left Prescott last night for Parker, at which point he will be joined by Mrs. Dougherty and together in an old fashioned blackboard they will begin the return trip to San Diego overland. A few days ago MT. Dougherty reached that Colorado river town travelling over the old stage route, and thinks so well of the outing that he will repeat the performance.
 From Parker he will go down the the river to Ehrenberg. where he will ferry across that stream. He will then follow the old stage road of the days of S5 years ago, pulling into Mule Springs, Chucawalla, Can yon Station, Dos Palmas, striking the Southern Pacific, where the first glimpse of civilization will meet him.
 He then goes along the old beaten path to Indian Wells, until Beau mont is reached, when he turns to the left and goes to San Jaeinto and thence on to San Diego. He expects to be out of the world for fourteen straight days and in all that time will not meet a human being, unless he accidentally runs onto one that is not at present living in that deso- late zone. He says the entire trip will take at least three weeks. He is equipped with a fine team of mules and has a complete camping outfit. He also says that the trip is the best medicine on this earth and he thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the time in coming from San Diego to Parker. In this Mrs. Dougherty shares the same opinion.
 In speaking of the country, he says it is ghastly in its desolation, and he believes there is no similar domain out of doors that is so devoid of in- terest or life as is to be seen for over 15O miles. But the air is it's redeeming feature and at this time of the year it is perfect and life giving after one has been on the coast line or in the mountains. There were several at the depot last night when he made known his unique mis- sion, and among them several of the pioneers who also invaded that identical route in the earlier days of stage life The memory of the trip of other days was recalled by them in all of it's privations, and they say that they want no more of it, but will take the Pullman in preference, no matter what the inducements may be or the physical ills they may be burdened with.

ed and after dropsy developed he said his suffering was intensified.
 He had been an employe of the Santa Fe at Needles for several year: on the California division, and was en route to the A. & C., where he said he had friends. He was 51 years of age and a native of Scotland No relatives are known to be residing in this section.
 It has been learned since his death that at one time Stewart was a third owner in a gold mine of British Columbia known as the Chief, which, when sold, gave him over $25,OOO in cash. He began dealing on the stock markets of Denver, and in a few years was rendered penniless. He located several placer mines near Needles, but abandoned them on ac- count of the lack of water to work the ground. His old partner in the north, whose name could not be learn ed, is located near Bouse, where he has several claims, and to reach him was Stewards s intention.
 Should the names of the parties who applied the kerosene become known criminal charges will be in stituted and the miscreants will find themselves facing most grave charge.

COUNTIES STAGGER
 COUNTY OF GRAHAM.
From Friday,s DaiIy.N

| NfrOm frlQay Dally.)
 Graham county has it's fur friz- zled up against the bounty hunters, and falls in line with its neighbor, Gila, in an endeavOr to check the continuous stream of bounties. The two southern eommonwealths are wor- ried over the big sums they are pay ing out to hunters and trappers. These counties desire to place obsta- cles in the way of the hunters that will practically drive them away from the field.
 Graham supervisors paid out the sum of s5OOO in one month for the belts of skunks and other animals that are on the list of bounty claims. Then they passed an iron-elad reso- lution, saying that hereafter they would not receive a single hide until the regular quarterly meeting, and stipulated farther that each hide sent in at that time must have the affidavit of the owner tackled to it, as well as the affidavit of a witness to the fact that he knows the hide was killed by the subscriber. When that is done, the trapper and the witness must each appear before the supervisors and make an additional oath.
 Other southern counties are also preparing to take drastic action along the same lines. The folly of the present law is realized now in the absence of restrictions to govern the indiscriminate hunting of the ami mals and the payment therefor. Non- residents as well as residents are permitted to reap the benefit of the law, and it is said that southern Arizona is Overrun with professional hunters and trappers from Texas, New Mexico and Colorado, who are reaping a harvest in the work.
 It is estimated that for the current year over $1OO,OOO will have been paid out by counties below the Gila for bounties, and naturally there aris- es a strong and general protest.
 In Yavapai the board has taken action along the lines of Gila and Graham, but specifies only that cer- tain dates will be set apart for re- eeiving hides.
 For the benefit of the local hunters the following is the order of the board made few days ago:
 "Resolved, That the supervisors of Yavapai county shall not hereafter consider any claim for bounty, from and after January l, 1910, only at the regular quarterly meetings of the board, the said quarterly meetings being held upon the first Mondays in April, July and October, and upon the last day in December.
 "Pelts will not be accepted by the clerk, nor affdavits received at this office, during such periods, until five days prior to said quarterly meet ings of the board''
 Shipments received yesterday were as follows: Guy Davis; Skull Val ley, six skunks; William P. Viers, Big Chino, eight coyotes and twenty three skunks.

CONSIDER DRY FARM LATER.

A private letter received from
Judge ]. X. Weatherford of
Albany, who is president of the
board of regents of the Oregon
Agricultural College, states that
the board had a meeting on Apr
il 26, but no action was taken re-
garding the location of the dry
farm experiment station.
Judge Weatherford states that
there was but one proposition
before them and that was from
Morrow county. That county had
representatives present but ow-
ing to the fact that Professors
Scudder and Bradley had just
returned and had not yet COM
pleted their report the board was
unable to give any particular
consideration of the matter. He
was not certain as to the date he
would call the meeting of the
board for the consideration of
this matter, but it would likely
be near May 26.
Judge Weatherford will advise
the people here of the date so
they can send any further COM
munications or representatives
they may desire. This matter
should be given attention and it
should be ascertained at once
whether Professors Scudder and
Bradley desire any further in
formation before this meeting.
Harvey county will have two
or three representatives call up
on various members of the board
before the meeting is held.

David Eccles and others connect
ed with the Sumpter Valley
Railroad will visit Burns soon
perhaps next week. The Times
Herald has no authority for this
statement other than rumor,
but it does have it from authel-
tic source that the road will be
built as far as Prairie this year
and that the manager has OPP
tions on land this side of that
place and it is no secret that
Burns is the objective point.
That the road will ultimately
come here and it is possible con-
struction will continue without
delay. Atleast a visit Mr.. Eccles
following his inspection of last
fall would indicate such an in
tention.
