"An agricultural school or an ex-
pertinent station should be established

vote our attention 20 education in
agriculture and mining. These are
the pursuits from which all wealth
emanates and on which all other pur-
suits are dependent. Increase acti-
witty in these lines and you, in so do
ing, must increase activity in all
other lines.
"If the schools teach agriculture,
agriculture will become more popular.
We will then have more farmers, and
naturally more production and more
varied and valuable, hence more re-
sources.
"If / had my way about il there
would be an agricultural school or AT

LOSES BACK TAX SUIT

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 10.--Word
was received from Washington last
night that the decision Of the Su-
preme court Of Arizona in the case
brought by the tar collector Of Co
conino county against the Grand Can.
yon railroad company had been af-
firmed by the Supreme court.
This IL the finale Of a long legal
battle which has been waged through
the gamut of courts for . number Of
years. The road from Williams to
the Grand Canyon was built by a
small corporation and, at the time,
the territory granted them exemption
from taxation. After facing the
vieissitudes Of Arizona railroading
for n number Of years, the builders
failed and sold out to the Santa Fe
An attempt was at once made to tar
the line, the county arguing that the
exemption died with the dissolution
Of the original corporation. The mat
ter was carried to the Arizona su
preme court and the jurists making
up that body decided in favor Of the
railroad. Coconino officials appealed
90 the Supreme court OF the United
States with the result az announced
yesterday.
This suit applies to back taxes
The exemption in question has nov
expired and the road IL on the Ia,
