Territorial Treasurer k. E. Kirk land is now .'jingling" in his off, cial pocket a draft or some other bill of exchange for $67, ,678.45, re- ceived from the Santa Fe Railroad company for taxes on the main line property in this territory. The road, formerly the Atlantic and Pacific, was built under grant that carried exemption from taxa tion, but when the property came into the possession of the Santa Fe. through a process made possible by congressional action, it was decid- ed by congress and so enacted that the property hereafter should pay an annual flat tax of $l75 per mile to the territory for the benefit of the counties it passes through. The distribution to eacn county ln accordance with the mileage is as follows. Apache. $9. 9.534; Coconino, SIS, ,965 .27; Mojave. $lS.879 IT; Navajo, $9. .7O2.36; Yavapai, $l0.- 597. 65; total. $67, ,67s. s.45. Phoenix Rpubliean.

For a Christmas Dinner Table.

In the center of the table sel up a small tree. three feet or little higher; dress it with silver tinsel !, silver and red balls and red and white candles. Old-fashioned red and white candy toys can also be hung by red ribbons and later dis tribute with joking speeches to the guests for whom they have been chosen--such as pipes pistols, spades for the men. scissors for the clever sewer, irons, tubs, brooms for the busy housekeeper. harp for the musician. etc. All these forms can be bought at any candy makers establishment.
 At holiday-time the candy-mak CTS often use for window decora- tions. long sticks of clear candy of various colors. and an accommodate ing manager will willingly color a number to order, although they are not. as a rule. made for sale. Those used were eighteen inches long. one quarter of an inch thick, of clear twisted candy colored a bright red and costing twenty cents a pound.
 The table was laid for twelve. and at each plate was placed tripod made of these sticks. tied together near one end with narrow ribbon and in each tripod hung "a little stocking, five inches long some made of red. some of white tarlatan filled with salted nuts and tiny chocolates.
 This may sound like a meager decoration. but try it and see how the redsticks stand out against the white cloth and enhance the glitter of the silver trimmed tree. -Wo' mans Home Companion for De- cember.

 On last Saturday the Dennis Lumber company cut the last log on the skids and the sawmill will probably not run any more this winter and cars are expected any time for transporting the company horses south for the winter.
 Charles Stemmer was a Flagstaff visitor Friday and Saturday last. The box factory has been running but part of the time, owing to the sawmill running quite steadily. The shops will run steadily until the first of the year as it now ap- pears and Mr. Stemmer will con duct the work upon his return from Sedona where he went Sunday.

RECLAMATION WORK GOES ON
Secretary Ballinger's Report Contains Interesting Figures Immense Sums Being Expended.

The act approved June IF, 1902, known as the reclamation act, clothes the secretary of the interior with broad discretion in the con- struction of irrigating works and the disbursement of the reclama- tion fund, into which fund had been paid, up to and including June 30, 1908, the total sum or $50, ,66l ,549. .27, and the net invest ments from which in reclamation works on June 30, 1909, amounted to the sum of $45, ,757, ,9l8.94. The cash receipts for water right charg- es to June 30, 1909 were Building charges. $299 .S4l.22; operation and maintenance charge, S70, 1925. .SS, total $370, ,667. 10. Because of mag nitude of the work, and the desira- bility of making plans far in ad- vance, it has been found necessary to make estimates of the amounts that will become available before the actual receipts can be known. The estimated total receipts in the fund to June 30, 1909, are S5S, ,5S2, l40.66. Upon this basis and estimat- ed re ceipts which will become avail able before December 3l. 1910, $5.- 528.O5 have been allotted for re- clamation purpsoes to December Sl, 1910.
 Secretary Ballinger is against extending time of payments beyond the eleven year limit now given, believing that a prudent man car pay out within that time.

The Town that Dies.

Funeral sermon from the Wame- go. fKansas) Weekly Times: "A town that never has anything to do in public way is on the way to the cemetery. Any citizen who will do nothing for his town is helping to dig the grave. A man that curses his town furnishes the coffin. The man who is so selfish as to have no time from his busi
 ness to give to city affairs is mak- ing the shroud The man who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is always pulling back from any public en- terprise throws bouquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy and is always bowling hard times breaches the funeral, sings the dox. ology, and thus the town ies bur jed from all sorrow and care. ''

KANSAS IS FOR II.
Governor Stubbs' Opinion About In
come Tax Amendment.

The New York American, Hearst's
paper, is taking a poll OF the states in
order to get an idea of the drift of
sentiment for and against the proposed
income tax amendment to the consti-
tuition which is about to pass congress.
Three-fourths of the state legislatures
must ratify this amendment before it
becomes a law. Governor Stubbs today
received a message asking for his opin-
ion on the probable action of the Kan
sas legislature in this matter and his
excellency promptly replied stating that
he believed that the legislature of this
state would ratify the proposed amend
ment without hesitation or argument.
The following is the text of the Amer
lean telegram and the governors an
swer:
What action in your opinion will
your state take regarding income tax
amendment to constitution which sem
ate and house have now almost unani-
mously voted to submit to the several
states. Answer prepaid"
The governor replied as follows:
80 far as I have been able to con-
suit with members of Kansas legisla-
ture, and to gather the public opinion
of Kansas, the income tax amendment
will be promptly ratified whenever the
legislature convenes.'
The State Journal. in discussing the
matter last Saturday suggested that if
the legislature was called in special
session this month Kansas would be
able to lead the states in the ratifica-
ton of this constitutional amendment.

There has been some fighting in the
streets, but as a general thing the Ma
tionalists are preserving excellent or
der. They are sending out patrols
ed momentarily to take refuge on one
of the foreign legations.
The Royalist troops, particularly the
Cossacks, have taken up a position in
streets and it is believed the National
lists will attack their position in full
force if they do not surrender.
The safety of foreigners does not ap-
pear at this writing to be seriously
threatened.
Sipahdar and sardahasad. the Ma
tionalist leaders, are in possession of
the parliament building. A body of
local Nationalists under the leadership
of young Seyed, have taken possession
of the residence ofq -Ed-Dowleh,
the foreign minister. Many of the Roy
aHst soldiers, including a number of
Cossacks, have deserted to the Nation
ahsts.
The poprIace of the city is enthusiasts
tic over the advent of the Nationalist
forces They throng the streets wear
ing red badges and offering encourage
ment to the revolutionary soldiers.
There was a sharp outbreak of rifle
fire this morning near the British
legation, but it did not last long and
the casualties among the Natlonalists
were slight.
The Nationalists are in possession of
the central offices of the Persia inter
national telegraph system. The Indo-
European telegraph line. the outlet to
London, is still working, but with diff
fculty. RoyaIsts and Nationalists are
fighting in the square in front of the
Offices of the company which are under
fire.
At the time of filing this dispatch,
1: 50 o'clock in the afternoon, the fight
ing in the streets continues, but it IS
mostly at long range, desultory and
neither destructive nor decisive. There
have been no attempts to interfere
with any of the legations or the British
or Russian banks, and the lives and
property of Americans and Europeans
are not in danger. The Russian flag is
flying from the house of Colonel Laik-
hoff the military commander at
Teheran where Nine Laikhoh courage
ously persists in remaining. The house
is close to the square where the Cos
sacks are opposing the advance of Ma
tionalists and both it and the flag are
exposed to the bullets Of the COM

KANSAS ALFALFA
Albert French of Ohio Wants 1t to
Feed to Cows.

Albert French, one of the biggest
dairymen in the state of Ohio, was
caller at the office of the secretary OF
agriculture. He came to Kansas to buy
alfalfa for his dairy cows. Mr.. French
furnishes ten thousand gallons of milk
daily to the consumers in Cincinnati
and besides runs a big condensing sta
ton ard manufactures ice cream. He
buys milk and cream from $500 Ohio
farms and himself keeps 25O cows from
which he secures certified milk for his
Cincinnati milk wagons.
Mr.. French was proud of the corn
standing in the Ohio fields until ne
reached western Missouri when he
grew doubtful. but when he struck
Kansas he realized that the Ohio
article was only an imitation. He had
seen no such corn anywhere between
Ohio and the Kansas border.
Speaking of his trip Mr.. French said:
4 have come all the way to Kansas
for alfalfa for my dairy cows. I Sc
cured several car loads here last year
from Judge Mohler of Topeka and

Senate Refuses to Do Anything While
Conference Is On.

Washington, July 13.-The senate
was in session today 20 minutes when
it adjourned until Friday. The major
portion of the time was devoted to a
discussion of the unanimous consent
agreement not to transact any busi-
ness while the tariff conference was
in progress. The discussion arose
over the effort on the part of Senator
Carter to have passed bill pertaining
to the affairs of the District of Colum-
bia, on the ground that the bill was
such a little one'' that no harm could
result from its passage, but Senators
Lodge and Culberson, standing guard
over the interests of the two sides of
the chamber, objected and thus pre-
vented action.
The incident served to emphasize
the understanding that no business
will be permitted in the senate so long
as the conferees are out and a renew
ed assurance to the senators at the
seashore that the interests of their
constituents will not be imperiled by
their remaining away

johnson Doesn't Remember How
Many Women He Married.

San Francisco, Cal, July 10
Christian c. Johnson, sentenced yes
years in the penitentiary for bigamy
is reported to have confessed that he
is the mysterious John Madison"
wanted in many parts of the country
for irregular matrimonial ventures
and systematic Swindling of women
under promise of marriage.
JohnsOn's alleged confession how
ever which is printed today in local
newspaper, is so full of inconsis-
tencies and so at variance with state
ments he has made since his arrest
in this city last week, that the police
authorities are not inclined to give
full credence. In this confession
Johnson declares that he has been
can not count them off hand.
'In 1906" he said. ''I quit my
business of buying horses and from
that day to this I have been making
my living by marrying and making
love to women, getting their money
and then deserting them.''
One of his most amazing feats, ac-
eording to his own confession was
making love to ten women at one
time in Portland. While he admits
and that his marriages were part of
"get rich quick system, Johnson
declares that in every instance he
spent the money he received upon the
victim herself.
'"They kept me broke all the time"
as the way he expresses it.
Johnson was born in Germany and
coming to this country in the seventies,
secured a post with the United States
government buying horses for the army
on commission. This took him all over
the country. At first. he says, he was
a woman hater. because he had been
separated from a sweetheart in Ger
many, who died later.
He married the first of his manY
wives in Springfield. Mass, in 1905
She was Mrs. Mary Brown.
''I married only one woman under the
name of John Madison" Johnson de-
2iared. Her name was Jones-if I
remember rightly-Eliza Jones. I got
