An Expert Opinion.

An old Waterman who used to keep
guard in the department Of justice in
Washington from long association with
the legal lights in the building believ-
ed he had imbibed fair share of learn
Ing in the law, and go when one night
q telegram addressed to the attorney
general came after hours he had no
hesitancy in opening it and reading its
message.
1t asked the question, "Is a man to
be held responsible for a crime COM
mitted while under the influence Of
liquorT
The Waterman pondered over this
message for some time. and, as he
knew what the influence Of liquor was,
he sent the laconic answer: mo, IN
deed. {Signed John Jones, in charge
Of department Of justice"
OF course there was an immediate
attack on the attorney general for such
a decision, and the matter came to the
ears Of the department. An investfga-
ton was made and the Waterman sus-
pended for three months.
That did not worry him, however.
With effrontery that simply dumfound-
ed the clerks. he came to the building
every pay day during that time of sus-
pension and drew his salary,

The most important announcement
of recent weeks has been in connec-
ton with the purchase of 800 acres
of land in the Sulphur Springs valley
from c. E. Hemphill. Mr.. Mcknight
will proceed to establish a chicken,
farm, having procured 500 blooded
chickens as a start. He will also. ship
a herd Of thoroughbred cattle from
Dallas and devote a portion of his
time to breeding of fine bovines. Later
he intends to breed hogs and fine
horses

Test for Artesian Water.
The movement to bore a well in the
western portion of the Sulphur
Springs to show certainly whether or
not there is artesian water, is now
under way. At the head of this move
ment is c. F. Joyce, farmer, who is
raising the subscription. Mr.. Joyce
has now secured almost all Of the
necessary fund and anticipates but
little trouble in raising the rest When
the fund has been completed a well
will be started in the western por-
ton of the valley, where experts say
the underflow is greatest and will,
in the belief of Joyce and his sup
porters, develop artesian flow. The
farmers of the valley are willing 70

rule the business men of Douglas Nave
subscribed money, while the farmers
have given land which will later be
appraised and stock in the company
issued them to pro rata amount.

Camp
Noted For Perfection
OF Equipment and
Good Order.

M oRENcI Ariz. Aug. 2e.-Lo-
N Gated upon earth that is yield
Av4 ing fortunes in the richness OF
its ores, Morenci is one of the typical
mining communities of the west. AT
Morenci everything looks new and
everything is up to date Morenci is
made up of an up to date population
and its people do not stand for any
thing but the best
large measure upon the success Of the
Detroit Copper company, a great
Phelps-Dodge corporation, the COM
pany and the People get along in a
most amicable manner. The company
has provided many comforts for the
people and they have provided many
for themselves Located on the Nor
enci Southern road, a narrow gage
line that connects with the Arizona
& New Mexico, Morenci has a direct
outlet to the larger markets of the
country and is kept In close touch
with Bisbee. Douglas. Ell Paso and
other surrounding cities. Morenci is
noted for its club life and community
spirit. Mutual interest and welfare is
the watchword and all for Morenci;
Morencf for all'' might be the motto,
for the people work together, pull to-
gether and play together, always with
the one IDEA IN view lQaL what IS pest
for Morenci is best for all.
Morenci boasts a hotel, which is RI
vailed by few in the west and out
distanced by none in any town its size
in the United States. A store that
equals in completeness many depart
ment stores in cities OF 100000 peo-
pie is one Of the features boosted of
In Morenci.
Good schools are the pride of the
people and the children are housed IN
a building that is as modern as the
instruction is thorough. An amuse-
ment hall and club. a feature Of the
town, may well boast that its rivals
are few. and militia Organization
cavalry-numbers among It's members
the best citizenship of the place.
Morenci has, like many other mining
camps, not grown rapidly in the past
few years, but there has been steady
progress all the time; never has there
been any backward movement in Nor
enci-always forward, and the pres
ent witnesses much activity in the
way of Improvements and business
extensions.
The ore zone about the city is. be-
ing gradually extended by the openr
ing Of new prospects. and the discov-
cry of placer prospects of paying
character in the vicinity have added
TO the brightness of the outlook. The
Detroit company is continuously max
ing engagements and extensions and
the people, likewise. are showing
equal faith in the community by join
ing in the work of progress.
A new and larger snelter is pros
pect just now.

Gambling House.

Gambling House.
Hearing Of the injunction suit brought
by Charles Coleman. as president of the
Independent Political and Social club, to
restrain the police from interfering I'm any
way with the rights of the members of the
club was begun before Judge Kennedy in
district court Friday The club is col
ored organization at 200 South Fourteenth
street. Coleman is president, caterer and
owner of an the fixtures.
q His complaint is that the police are try
ing to drive the club out of business by
means Of arrest and intimidation. The suit
is brough against ]. ]. Donahue. chief of
police, and Captain Henry Dunn whom he
alleges are trying TO get possession of the
rooms occupied by the club for purposes
of their own.
Affidavits were introduced by the defense
to show that 'the club" was entirely NOM
inal and used as blind under which TO
conduct a gambling house. As high as
nine affldavits were filed by supposed
members of the club to show that poker"
and blackjack" were played for money
nearly every day behind locked doors and
that Coleman was paid a regular percent
age.
Lon c. Carter, secretary of the club for
several years by affidavit said that at the
annual meeting there were only two pres
ent besides himself and Coleman. The only
qualification for membership, he said, was
the payment Of % cents, and that outside
of thai there were a large number of men
who gambled regularly in the rooms who
never were members.
Coleman put several witnesses on the
stand, who said that they had been in tho
rooms frequently, but had never seen any
gambling.

empty before $50 O'clock even though
clearance involved supply OF almost
twenty doubles OF stock This estimate con-
sisted largely of grass offerings, as has

Range sections Of oregon and Idaho fur
nished about two-thirds Of total offerings

the lamb run. In most instances good grass
muttons failed to show Improvement. but
the demand was none the less brisk and
prices ruled easily firm. Oregon wethers

Spring lambs from the west, a five-car
shipment, reached S715, Indicating a strong
price list for toppy stuff.
Offerings from the corn belt found an
equally keen demand and usually sold a
shade to around a dime higher, IL COM
parsons are permissible. Two small
punches Of spring lambs scaled at 81 256I7 40
and cornfed shorn lambs acted crcditably
at f6.15ff6.40, The latter price Is the highest

During the week grassers from the west
have been the principal market actors,
about 10 per cent of good sized supply
showing up from Oregon. California and

small advances have been scored.
