 Mrs. Wm. Buck made a busi- ness trip to Flagstaff Sunday.
 Jack Lewis, the genial skinner, has sold his team and has ac- cepted the position of corral dog. John Sholders, one who helps to make the tall pines into logs, has gone to Holbrook for a short stay.
 James Stewart, the sky hooker and steel crooker, who has been suffering from severe attack of tonsilitis, has recovered.
 Chas. Procnow, the M. M. at the mill, was in camp over Sun day doing repair work on the skidder and returned to Flagstaff Monday.
 George Vandevier, once famous as chamber maid in the stable here, has resigned and left for California, where he intends to spend the winter.
 w. C. Woods, erstwhile "Cy," had serious accident with the big logging machine Friday noon and has had to perform an opera tion on the ding fod; he has also installed a new pinion and is ready to make noise like as if he meant to do business again.
 Thomas Gore, the prominent young man of log camp fame, who left some weeks ago for Texas, has returned with a lone- some smile on his front end. It was the general supposition that this young gentleman was to take unto himself a wife, but some one undoubtedly must of had a say besides Tom and the girl Per haps it takes two to make a match in Texas.
 Wm. Buck, Jack Edwards and Ed Hoskins took a stroll into the tall uncut just as the sun adorned the horizon, and the latter, who had Gallagher's gun, has not re- turned up to date-Io p. m. The big guns have begun to sound and the night watch, Arthur We'd dle, is swinging on the whistle cord, but there is not a sound from the forest. Someone asked Gallagher to go and look for the lost, as he has had quite a lot of experience at night, but he smiled and said: NIX"
 LATER-(Monday noon) The measley hunter, Ed Hoskins, has returned with nothing more than a scary tale to tell, and he had the nerve to say that it was all because he had Gallagher's gun.

ment would be $3.50 cents. The aver.
age value of Colorado sheep is S4l5,
and for the 10 sheep would be 1854;
this makes the investment necessary
to produce the wool for this suit SS.72,
excluding all investments in lands.
In producing this 11.59 pounds of
wool your grower paid to labor S114;
for feed for the sheep he paid 49.4
cents, and his miscellaneous expenses
for the sheep were $1,71; the interest
on his investment at eight per cent
was G9,7 cents-making the total cost
to produce this wool S4.O37. This,
however, represents the total cost of
maintEing 10 sheep for one year, and
as there was income from them other
than that derived from wool, such in.
come must be deducted in order to
determine the actual cost of the wool.
Tine tariff board estimates that the
increase among Colorado sheep is 61.9
per cent, and that the income from

actual expenditure which must be met
from the sale of the wool II the re-
ceipts from the sale of the wool in
this suit were S1.97 and the cost of
its production was S1757, your wool
grower had remaining as his profit on
10 sheep Just 2l.3 cents-a profit per
sheep of 11.2 cents, amounting to 1-3
per cent. on his investment
In considering all the above fig
ures we must bear in mind the fact
that the tariff board reports the aver
age price of wool in Colorado last
year to have been 14.2 cents per
pound, whereas the grower of the wool
used in making your suit Is credited
with receiving II cents per pound.
! Nor should we overlook the fact that
this profit of 11.2 cents per sheep was
made at a time when the tariff on
wool of this class represented 46 per
cent. advalorem. How is this wool
grower to survive if the Underwood
: bill, reducing the tariff 60 per cent,
becomes a law?

.ROOSEVELT'S POPULISTIC IDEAS
OCCASIONED SWING TO TAFT

Roosevelt and Taft, although the |
eight delegates already chosen are un-
instructed. Arizona is admitted to
be fighting ground, with the chances
in favor of Taft. Up to the present,
Taft has practically had things his
own way in Missouri
Interesting developments in Michi-
gan, whose governor was one of the
original signers of the Roosevelt
call, the strength is shown by his
carrying the tenth and twelfth dis
tricts, in addition to the four dele
gates already chosen. At the pri-
maries on Saturday in various Michi-
gan counties the Taft forces won
forty-eight delegates to Roosevelt's
nineteen.
This manifest weakening in the
very states where he was expected to
develop the most strength has given
rise to the more recent rumor that
the Roosevelt forces are now casting
about for a suitable dark horse candi-
date to use at Chicago on the plea of
uniting the party" The steady ad-
vance of the Taft forces, especially in
the West where the Rough Rider has
always been credited with. great pop
ularity, is undoubtedly due to the
former Presidents radical departure
from every cherished Republican fun
damental and his advocacy of what
has heretofore been termed "popu-
listic." Contributing in no small de-
gree, also, to this tide of public SEN
timent toward Taft has been the dig,
nified manner in which the President
has conducted himself, in spite of the
vicious attacks from the Roosevelt
camp.

There has been a steady drift to Taft

Senator Cummins' closest friends
here who are familiar with conditions

greatly favor Taft carrying that state

for garbage collection in the city for
the past ten years, except two wagons
of the ordinary dumping type. which
were ordered to be made by local
builders, and which are now ready for
delivery. The appropriation covering
the cost of these wagons did not in
clude, however, the purchase of two

six wagons now available to serve
the needs of our rapidly growing city
a maximum of efficiency in the service
cannot be expected.
For the economical handling Of the
garbage at the incinerGtor, wagons OF
the bottom-dumping type should be
used, from which the refuse can be
dumped into chute passing directly
to the furnaces. Each wagon box
should be thoroughly washed every
day after the delivery of the last load.
In addition to this cleaning, the boxes
should be sprayed, at least once a
week, with cheap disinfecting and
deodorizing coaltar fluid
Hours for collection should be so
arranged to enable the work to be

not alarm the sugar growing industry

coLoRs INFLUENCE SNAKES.


NEW YORK, March ga report
of a series of snake studies" made
at the Bronx geological gardens here
shows that snakes can be appealed to
by colors, which are found to have a
marked influence on the moods of the
reptiles. The emotions inspired are
thus catalogued: "Ded, delight; baby
blue, pleasure; yellow, contentment;
navy blue, ecstacy; brown, irritation;
green, anger; black, indifference; pur-
pie, vanity"
The report by Curator Ditmars ex-
plains further:
Color influence upon animals is not
rare. The red rag, of course, excites
the bull to anger. With the snake
there is just the opposite effect, and
it is red that gives delight, while
green excites to anger"
AS to the effect of music on snakes,
Mr.. Ditmars explains that, contrary to
the general belief, snakes do not &C.
tually hear music and have no sense
of melody. They receive the sensa-
ton of the vibrations through the
tip of the tongue, and, like wireless
instruments, become tuned up" and
often swing their heads in sympathy,
which leads to the superstition they
are beating time.

CURIOUS INTERNATIONAL POINT
IN CHICAGO CANAL MATTER

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 81
Canada has equal authority with
America over Chicago's harbor and
drainage canal under the liberal inter
probation of the treaty between the
two nations made before Secretary of
War Stimson today. Andrew Mullin,
counsel for the dominion government,
declared that Chicago can not build a.
harbor, move a bridge or dump a load
of dirty snow into the river, much less
divert 10000 cubic feet of water from
the lake, without giving Canada the
right to intervene if its navigation in
terests are affected.
Comedies Right to America.
So far as navigation is concerned,
Mullin declared that two countries had
equal jurisdiction over Lake Michi-
gan, even though it does not touch
the boundary line. He granted the
same right to America over the St.
Lawrence from the boundary to the
ocean.
Secretary Stimson was surprised
and the delegation from Chicago,
which had come to press Chicago's
claims for an increase to 10000 cubic
feet of the flow through the canal, was
astounded
The sincerity of the sanitary dis
trict in asking for the increase for
drainage purposes was attacked by
all the speakers. Damaging to ship
ping" was the burden of their objec-
ton and the great shipping interests
of the dominion were represented in
force.
