Counsel representing the city commits

contended that ths liquor law Of 1911
delegated to the court both legislative and

teen thousands dollars appropriated for the Horticultural Commission to handle the business of our new state. There is no use to half way do a thing I will make a few figures to show the necessity of this work:
 The codling moth, for the year 1911 destroyed thousands of dollars worth of fruit in Arizona and has been. the means of destroying a great many or chards. The next is the alfalfa seed fly in Yuma, Buckeye, Salt River and Gila Valleys, which reduced the val ue of our alfalfa seed crop for the past season over $500,000 to say noth- ing about the remainder of the state. The next pest demanding attention is the alfalfa weavil. In Utah it has de- stroyed millions of dollars worth of alfalfa for the state and it is only a matter of time when it will be brought in here as it can be carried in house. hold goods or in fruit boxes. Fruit shipped from Provo, Utah, to Los An geles, then to Arizona is good car rier of the weavil. Provo is a district infested with the weavil. If we had an inspector to inspect every shipment from this infested district we might be able to hold them in check. An inspector is what we need, working with the Horticultural commission, or under their control
 We must appeal to our legislators for an amendment to the present law and give them full power to take care of all pests. It is the duty of ev- evry farmer to appeal to the Legisla- ture and explain the necessity of our appeal for help. It must come

FIREMAN KILLED IN WRECK

By the merest chance a great rail- road accident was narrowly averted at 10:30 o'clock this morning at the dreaded Pay Car Curve, two miles west of Benson, when the helper en- zine broke loose from the road en- zine behind it and rolled over in the ditch, killing Fireman w. H. Dent and seriously injuring Engineer I. G.. Coombs. The road engine barely stay ed upright on the roadbed, though the pony trucks and one pair of tank trucks left the rails and that narrow margin prevented the wrecking of the train proper. So near did the road engine come to leaping into the ditch that Fireman c. L. Olden, was slight ly njured.-Tucsop Star.

MEXICAN BANDITS IN TUCSON

TUCSON-Alberta Garcia, Adolfo Gomez and Jose Romero were arrest ed on Congress street in Tucson at S:45 o'clock this morning and have confessed to having held up James Campbell, and another American and two Mexicans in the office of the Si- erra Pinta mine in the Altar district, Sonora, Monday night, and robbed the office safe of money, gold bullion and nuggets.
 A report from the mine stated that the three bandits secured $12,000 in bullion and $40 in cash. When Gar cia, Gomez and Romero were caught they had one bar of gold bullion and silver, the value of which has not been ascertained, and a number of gold nuggets, besides about $20 in Mexican and American money.

 In spite of his slenderness. Keith possessed unusual strength, yet no ex- ertion on his part served to start the loosened plank sufficiently for their purpose. Ripping a strip from the bench he managed to pry the hole somewhat larger. arranging the bench itself so as to afford the necessary leverage, but even then his entire weight failed to either start the spikes, or crack the plank. Some al tercation began in the other room, the sound of angry voices and shuf1fng feet being plainly audible. It was clear to Keith that they must take the chance of a noise, and no better time than this could bs chosen.

CLIFTON, Ariz., Feby 3.-Will you please permit me, through your paper, to bring before the farmers of Ari- zona some points of legislation which will be of interest to every farmer in the State of Ariozna
 First. we should have a law for the prevention of insect pests to agri- cultural crops. There should be an amendment to our present law to give our Horticultural commission full pow CT to quarantine against nursery stock of all kinds that is infested with insects; all shipments of fruit of every description found to be infested with any kind of insect; to inspect fruit
 stands or any public place where fruits are handled, and if found to be infected with any insect pest, to have the power to condemn and destroy at once.
 Our Horticultural Commission so far cry case as the law now stands. We only have three districts now in Ari- zona where the commission has SUD- ervision. District No. 1 includes the Gila valley. District No. 2 embraces Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa. District No. takes in the Yuma country. These are the only sections of Arizona under the supervision of the commits sion under the present law and all they can attend to properly with the means at their disposal. Greenlee other sections of Arizona have no pro- lection.
 Now is the time, as we are about to have a new form of government, for every farmer to appeal to the leg islators to enact laws to protect our interests There should be ten or if

 Greenlee county, nine.
 Gila county, three.
 Graham county, one.
 The above figures would indicate that Graham has become the official custodian of the prisoners of her neighboring counties.

 There was ford directly opposite the cantonment, and another, more dangerous, and kr.own to only a few, three miles farther up stream Keep ing well within the waters edge, so as to thus completely obscure their trail, yet.not daring to venture deep for fear of striking quicksand, the plains man set his pony struggling forward, until the dim outline of the bank at his right rendered him confident that they had attained the proper point for crossing. He had been that way only once before. and realized the danger of attempting passage in such darkness. but urgent need drove him forward.
 Follow me just as close as you can, boy" he said sternly, "and keep both your feet out of the stirrups. If your horse goes down hang to his tail, and let him swim out'
 There was little enough to guide by, merely a single faint star peering out from rift of the clouds, but Keith's remembrance was that the ford led straight out to the center of the stream, and then veered slightly to- ward the right. He knew the sand ridge was only used by horsemen. not heinC wide euouOh for fho coPo pocc.

 age of wagons, but the depth of the water on either side was entirely problematical. He was taking a big chance, yet dare not wait for daylight. Summoning all his nerve and alert ness, he urged his horse slowly for ward, the intelligent animal seeming ly comprehending the situation, and feeling carefully for footing The ac- tions of the animal gave the rider greater confidence, and he loosened his grip on the rein. leaving the pony's instinct to control. The latter fairly crept forward, testing the sand before resting any weight upon the hoof. the negro's mount following closely. The water was unusually high, and as they advanced it bore down against them in considerable volume; then, as they veered to the right, they were con- pelled to push directly against its weight in struggling toward shore. The men could see nothing but this solid sheet of water rushing down toward them from out the black void, and then vanishing below. Once Kefth's horse half fell, plunging nose under, yet gaining foothold again be- fore the rider had deserted his saddle dim darkness ahead already re- vealed the nearness of the southern bank. when Neb's pony went down suddenly, swept fairly of it's legs by some fierce eddy in the stream. Keith heard the negro's gutturl cry, and caught a glimpse of him as the two were sent whirling down. The coiled rope of the lariat, grasped in his right hand, was hurled forth like a shot, but came back empty. Not another sound reached him; his own horse. went steadily on, feeling his way, un- til he was nose against the bank, with water merely rippling about his ankles. Keith driving feet again into the stir rups headed him down stream, wading close in toward the shore, leaning for ward over the pommel striving to see through the gloom.
 He had no doubt about Nebs pony making land, unless struck by some driftwood. or borne to the center of the stream by the shifting force of the current. But if Neb had failed to re tain his grip he might have been sucked under by the surge of waters. A hundred yards below he found them. dripping and weak from the struggle, yet otherwise unhurt. There were no words spoken. but the black and white hands clasped silently, and then Neb crept back into the saddle, shfvering in his wet clothes as the cool night wind swept against him. Keeping close in toward shore, yet far enough out so that the water would hide their trail, the fugitives toiIed steadily up stream, guided only by the black out line of the low bank upon their left.
