laws regarding the land proposition for new phases and new problems have arisen. The question is one of the most important in the state to- day.
 We want to get the thing started right md I am sure we are doing that very thing. I am positive that there is not state in the Union that has the records in such perfect shape as we have them in Arizona. We have been profting by the expert ences of the other states where they lost acres and acres of land becau:e faults in the law and because of faults in the records. I am satisfied that Arizona will not lose any of it's land and that it will be worth mil lions and millions to the state. The value now can hardly be estimated D
 Arizona has sufficient land to sus- tain every state institution and enough left to make the state wealthy Few people can realize what this land means to the state. The care full selection of the land which the state will take means many millions to the state, and the land commis- sion evidently is trying to make these millions for Arizona.

Perscott Journal Miner: Charles Rose, who is in the city from his mining camp near Stoddard is enthusi- astic over the showing in evidence at the Copper Queen mines, and unhesi- tatingly pronounces that property as a coming big producer of the future Sinking is going ahead and the large and rich ore bodies being developed give this undertaking considerable in terest and creating general comm ant in that section. MT. Rose is a prac- tical miner and speaks advisedly in his estimation of the property. More mn are being placed at work, and tho ore dumps speak for themselves.

regarding the school land lease. In c;ientslly he talked about the land in the state which the members of the commission are now selecting and to
 which the state will have perfect tItIe.
 The commissioners have been worK- ing iE the north part of the state selecting land, but the weather got SD lad that they have been driven south. They have picked out much of the land they want for the state 3ut they will not get all that is com ing until they have looked over the entire state an dhave found what they .elieve to be as good land as they can se.ect.
 They do not want to get land ahead of settlers but they want to get ali the good land they can without crowding the settlers: They have over 12 100000 acres to pick out and that is great task, if it is done properly, and they are doing it pro perly. It would take but a few months to select great tracts of land and get the title in the name of the state, but in the years to come the state would realize very little from such land.
 ''We are trying to pick out land that we believe the state will realize on in the future,' said MT. Winsor. We nave been taking land that we believe will some day be under irri- gation. We have not been having su-h land surveyed or examined by experts -o see whether it will be irri- gated land, but we ava sing our judgments regarding it Gnd I think we have got lot of land that will one day be very valuable for the state.
 But before we get all the land we are making a solid basis in the rec ords of the land. There will be ID question regarding titles when we get through with the work. It will not have to be done again as it has been in every other state. This sort Of work is taking a lot of time and work and we will not be in position to make as complete report to the legislat- ure this winter as we desired. But when the legislature mapped ort the work it wanted us to do not mem- Der realized the enormity of tho pro position. I know that not m ,.1.kcr on the commission realized what an immense work it was until we got into it. But we are doing all we can and it will take us much longer than we expected. The legislature now sees this and will understand it more thoroughly when the session is held this winter.

WELL KNOWN MINING
 MAN DIES SUDDENLY.

All people of Southern Arizona will be grieved and shocked to learn of the untimely demise of James John son, owner and manager of the Ivan hoe group of mines in the Santa Ritas. He retired in his usual good health at his home ill Patagonia on Thursday night and at 3:30 in the morning died suddenly from heart disease. Dr. Hardtmeyer was called but arrived too late to save him. At the time his wife and two children, aged nine and four were with him.
 MT. Johnson had been resident of this vicinity for the past seven years and had devoted all of his time to min ing. For some time past he h1se de- yeloped the Ivanhoe group and it stands today one of the most promis- ing mines in this district.

WILL THEY CARRY THE BILLS INTO
 COURT?
Will they Corry Bills Into Court
Railroads Said to be Considering Au- visibility of Fighting Measures
 Passed at the Election

There is being discussed the pos sibility of the railroads carrying to the state supreme court or to the federal court the fight on the three cent fare law, the semi-monthly pay day, the requirement. of electric headlights and the limitation of the number of cars in train.
 These laws can be fought in the state supreme court, it is declared on the ground that the Arizona Cor roration Commission is given full power to prescribe such regulations, or they can be taken to the federal court on the ground that they are confiscatory. It will be recollected that two-cent fare law was all nulled by the federal court of Mis- souri on these grounds.
 It is said that, in view of the afr nation of these laws by the people the railroads would choose to go in to the federal court Officials of the Southern Pacific and Randolph lines say that while further opposition is entirelr possible no decision to that effect has been reached.
 One railroad man urged that inas- much as the corporation commission is given full power in such mat ters, it would appear that such pow CT were denied the legislature.

ARIZONA WILL TAKE A PART IN THE
 INAUGURATION
This State Will Be On Hand When
 Wilson Is Inaugurated.

ArrangementS are being made by Walter Brawner, chairman of the Maricopa county democratic central committee, which will result in this state being splendidly represented at the ceremonies attendant upon the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson as president of the United States.
 Brawner has arranged with the Southern Pacific company for the running of a six car. special train to Washington and return, to arrive in time for the inauguration parade and ceremonies and to start on the return journey a day or so later. The train Arrangements are now under way which, if terminated successfully, will permit the Indian school band to make the trip on the special.
 The round trip fare, including rail road and Pullman accommodations will be slOO and it is necessary to have 100 passengers. A private diner will be run in connection with the train. Brawner has already secured the pledge of eleven local men to make the trip and feels that he Will have no trouble in securing hundred througnout the state. As an evid ence of good faith each one of the local men has agreed to deposit fifty dollars, half of the amount of the fare, to be forfeited if he fails to make the trip. This will be required of all.
 Brawner feels that it will be worth more than a hundred dollars to any, one to ride in the inaugural parade ts- hind the Indian school band, and n other ways participate in the usher ing into office of a new president

Railroad men declare that, as pre- dicted prior to the election, the rail roads will not dare to make any. ex- tensions in view of the probability of continued hostile legislation. It is admitted by them that operation on the main lines might be profitable at three cents, but not open branches that have been proposed.

eiunders of Royal Authors.

Royal outhors sometimes need . deal of editing. f glariEg instance is Frederick the Great, whose spelling and punctuation astoundcd Carlyle. says the London Chronicle. "A steure" for "a cette heure'' was q specimen Of the former, "and as for punctuation. he never could understand the mys- tery of it; he:merely scatters few commas and dashes as if they were shaken out of pepper box upon hls page and so leaves It.
 How, asks Carlyle, can such sloven' Illness be explained ir, king who "wor'd have ordered arrest for the smallest speck of mud on a mans bun belt, indignant that any pipe clayed portion of a man should not be per- fectly pipe clayed?" He can only con clude that Frederick really cared lit tie about literature after all. ALSO .he never minded snuff upon his own chin, not even upon his waistcoat and brooches" T am a king and above grammar" said another monarch.

PROBLEM BEFORE THE
 R. R. COMMISSION
Can a Railroad Surrended Its Charter and Then Make It's Own
 Regulations. #

Little Rock, Sept. 4.-A most veX- ations problem has been propounded to the Arkansas Railroad Commission which has taken it under considera ton. The question is, can railroad, in order to escape the regulations applicable to a common carrier, sur render it's charter and then make it's own regulations?
 This is what has been done by the Ouachita Valley road, of Ouachita county, which has line 28 miles long. It is a log road that is being operated by the Freeman Smith Lum- 'ber Company, and passenger service is being provided only as the Lumber company pleases.
 The owners fthe railroad were represented before the Commission rs by Secretary E.. A. Bushner and Attorney T. J. Gaughan, who present. ed arguments and proof that they are acting wholly within the:r rights. The Commission has not yet decided the matter.

His Own Bills.

Butchers are not generally credited with an especially sensitive tempera- menu, but New York has one member of the guild whose skin must be ex. traordinarily thin. At any rate, he goes to unusual lengths to exonerate himself from the charge of extortion. Above the cashiers window he has hung this sign:
 If prices are high don't blame me. They have hit me, too. Here is the meat bill of my own family. Read it." Then follows an itemized ac. count of the chops, steaks, roasts an9 cats meat consumed by the butchers dependents in one week. The prices recorded are sufficiently altitudinous to appease the most disgruntleG GUS toners. and they settle theil' own bills with good grace.
