CRUISING NATIONAL
 FOREST TIMBER

The U. s. departmental of agricul- ture has undertaken the task of estimating the present stand of saw timber on each township and sec tion of national forest land in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Ar kansas and Florida. It will prob ably take until the close of the year 1912 to complete the work, but when it is done the governments foresters will know definitely how much timber can safely be cut from the national forests in these states, and just where the timber is that can be most advantageously sold.
 When forest has once been cov- cred by such reconnaissance, pur- chasers and forest officers can agree on negotiations for timber sales, advertisements of the timber can be placed, bids made, and contracts let. Up to the present time, in Arizona, all the saw timber on the Coconino forest has been cruised including the Grand Canyon divis- ion, all on the Prescott, more than half of the Sitgreaves, about one- fifth of the Apache; in New Mexico the Gallinas division of the Lin coin. and half of tM Pecos. Field parties are now at work in Arkan- sas on the Arkansas national forest and in Florida on the Choctaw- hatchee.
 During the present field season it is anticipated that the estimates covering the Apache, Gila and Pecos, in New Mexico, and the Mt. Graham division of the Crook, in Arizona, can be completed, and that for the Manzano, in New Mex lco, which was estimated In 19OS. thoroughly revised. During the winter of 1910 and 1911 undoubt- edly the Choctawhatchee and Ocala in Florida. and the Arkansas and Ozark, in Arkansas, can be finished. Thus, it is likely that by 1913 all saw timber in District 8, which comprises the forests of the south and southwest, will be cruised and mapped so that purchasers can ne- gotiate sales promptly and the gov ernment will know just what tim Der should be sold first and how much it can safely dispose of.

THE BOLETA LAW
 TO BE TESTED

Tombstone, July 22-The first case of it's kind to be tried in Co., chise county or the territory of Arizona, as the outcome of the in dictments returned by the last grand jury of this county against H. H. Over, superintendent, and P. NJ. Mcdonald, bookkeeper, of the Shannon Copper Co.'s interests at Gleeson, known as the Copper Belle mine, snd B. A. Taylor, 6 pioneer merchant of that camp, for alleged violation of the "boleta Iaw," passed by the last legislature, will be called for trial during the latter part of this week, and the outcome of the same is watched with much inter- est throughout Arizona, this being a test case.
 The indictments against these gentlemen allege the issuing of store orders unredeemable at face value and an order, check or certificate of indebtedness issued to laborers in the employ of the Shannon Cop per company.
 It appears that the company. fol lowing long established custom, has been issuing checks or orders in payment of wages, which, when presented at Taylor's store. the amounts due were deducted, and at times other orders given redeema- ble in mercha ndise.
 The "boleto law" which prohib it's the issuance of so called boletos, is held to include the system of store orders. and the present case will very likely develop into one of test on the specific meaning of the law, which is somewhat ambiguous. It is a we'll known fact that a sys- tenn of store orders is followed by several mining companies in Ari- zona, who are aniously watching tha continuation of the cases.

THE proposition of making five years residence in Arizona requisite to being eligible to holding a posi-. tion on the bench in Arizona will appeal to the good sense of every lawyer in the territory, says the Arizona Democrat. It will give attorneys ample time to familiarize themselves with our statutes before they aspire to administer the law, and will permit them to educate themselves and not acquire their education at the expense of the tax. payers. Men who come to Arizona from the states and begin the first month to teach our people what is wanted in our laws and our consti- tuition begin their campaigns of "education" before they have read our statutes. The class of knowing ones would be put on probation by such law, and in that alone it would serve an admirable purpose.

Read the Advertisements ts

Don't fail to read the advertise ments in this paper. Occasionally a merchant says, "Oh, they don't read the ads anyway" But we know better. We heard two men talking on the street the other day about what they saw advertised in in the last weeks paper. The trouble with the merchants is that they expect you people to come in and say. "I saw your ad and I want the goods" Just show them that you DO read their ads. Tell them about it few times and it will take the conceit out of them. Every. body reads the advertisements and some they are the first things read. It is business proposition to read them. The careful buyer goes where the best bargains are offered, both in price and quality. and he reads the ads to see what is being offered by his home merchants!
 About the only business that won't stand advertising is the ice and coal business-the former in the Polar regions and the latter in the tropics.

WHEN an aspirant to public office objects to the initiative, referen- dunn and recall" the fact may be safely accepted as conclusive evil dence that he regards public office as a private snap instead of pub lie trust.

THE house fly is said to be the principal carrier of the terrible dis. ease of childhood called infantile paralysis, which has already claimed many victims in Kansas. The dis ease is highly infectious, and it seems to be conveyed through food, drink, or unclean drinking vessels, which flies have used for feet wipers. The house fly is an unclean beast, and his presence is sure proof of unsanitary conditions about the home and in the town. Swat him every chance you get.

IN 1908 the government printed 243,O0O,O00 envelopes with names and addresses of purchasers free of charge. The printing industry of the country was thereby deprived of just that much work, which is very wrong, and should merit the protest of every printer in the United States. This bill has passed the house and goes to the senate at the next session of congress.

OBSERVATIONS OF
 A CLODHOPPER
By TEMPEST

Difference of opinion has been
 the cause of much trouble and strife in this world.
 It is that which binds some tight ly together and pulls others apart.
 We do not realize the benefit of it
 but can see the mischief wrought by it. It is especially noticeable when some old fossil or some pessi- mist, male or female, grows angry when we do not agree with their sentiments, whether sensible or idiotic. Some grow furious because they can produce no change in their subjects.
 What grave mistake for an old fogy to become enraged because he finds it impossible to place an old head upon young shoulders.
 The struggles between mothers and daughters, fathers and sons that so numerously create food for pub. lie amusement, are all useless as senseless. We admit there are times when a parents intervention is needed but how often is the whole future of a young hopeful crushed into oblivion by insane differences of opinion, wherein half childish parents, trained in the different ages of the past, hedge off a turn of talent and either by poking fun or downright chastisement and en- forcing compulsory measures that causes the youth or maiden to aban- don forever his or her particular liking.
 How many would-be prodigies parade our streets today who would create sensations world wide in some line but for the mocking in- suits, censure, and even brutal per suasion they were compelled to re- main human derelicts.
 When the little boy sits down to draw funny pictures, don't slap the pencil out of his hands and make him stop it. That may be that boys fortune. Just that one latent talent developed may lead him on to fame. When Dolly loves to thump the piano don't tell the child she can't play, but encourage her, instead of compelling her to desist. Try and get g teacher for her.
 Ohl The crying wrongs done by those who differ in opinion.
 Friends, life is fierce battle. Competition is sharp; for the same crust that you struggle for thou sands of others also struggle for. If you possess good mental powers, so do 1O,OOO,000 others; if you are good at any particular thing, there are others yet better. So, instead of squelching the evident talents of those around you, encourage them.

Fair weather once more, whereof all
are glad and especially the women folks,
since they will now have a chance to dry
their washing. But who ever saw a
more forward spring than the present?
Taking a stroll in the woods We found in
addition to May flowers, blue and yellow
violets, and white benjamin blossoms,
while the Transcendant crab apple tree
flower buds begin to expand and show
their red petals. Still, it is April, and
will continue TO be until Saturday night
at IL O'Clock, when Father Time will
usher in May Day morning.
School in this district is well under
way and taught by Myrtle Ring, but
probably the last one to be taught in the

And now the question comes up as to
which is the more proper term to use, a
setting of eggs or a sitting of eggs. A
says that sitting is the word to use from
the fact that the hen sits on them three
weeks to hatch them, while Il declares
that setting is the more proper term,
since the eggs are set under her before
she sits on them. That is similar to the
difference between tweedledum and
tweedledee.
