New Registration Law
 Causes Inconvenience

Much delay has been occssioned during the past two weeks in com mencing the registration of the voters O. the political subdivision of Cocbise county. the same causing a great d. al of inconvenience in the office of the county recorder, owing to the recently enacted registration law, the same re- quiriug a line of special printing of differentvarities, including precinct registers and several forms of new reg. istrs,ion blanks, which heretofore were unnecessary.
 For many years psst it has been customary with the county recorder to make up bis great register and have the copy for the same in the hands Of the printer a certain number of days before the general election. but the new registration law sbol.shes entirely the printing of great registers and makes it incumbent upon the county recorder to furnish each and every precinct in bis county with what is known ss 6 precinct register, the sa me to be made up by that of- fcial, and when completed to be sent to the respective voting precincts in the county. Therefore. it can be seen that much additional work is saddled upon the recorder. which heretofore wss unnecessary.
 The primary election will be held on the 10th day of September and the vsriou. precinct registers will be closed on Angus, 3l.

The State Tax Commission after hearing the objections brought before the Cochise board of equalization on the raise on mining assessments totsy filed their report and recommenda- tions with the board the report bfin E signed hy P Miller. chairman, c M Zsnder and c R Howe, men bers.
 The commission recommended that the assessment of the Leonard Cop, per Co be reduced 40 per cent on pro. ducing mines which did not net a profit. This lowered the assessment of this company to approximately s7l,OcO.
 A 50 per cent reduction on certain mines of th. Great Western Co, which d not produce at profit was also recommended.
 The assessment Of the Copper Quee D Co mines listed on the rolls at S9, ,499 ,- 5l2 6S was recommended to remain as originally fixed
 The assessments of the Superior & Pittsburg and c & A Companies were slso recommended to remain as or iginally fixed.
 The S P Go showed 6 production of B JAG. .63s 26 and the c & A s2,- s2s ,23C.09 las, year and the assess. nents were made on these figures.
 The board of equalization adopted the report ard the assessments will accordingly appear on the Cocbise tax rolls for this year.
 The grand total of a'sessments will easily reach over s27 ,OOO. 900 and place Cochise ahead of any county in the state on taxable values.

Shipments of Cattle
 So Far This Year

Twenty-two hundred cars of cattle; representing s market value sl .320.- GOO, have been shipped over the Tue son division SO far this year. according to figures in the super.ntendent's ot- fee.
 Not all these shipments originated in Tucson. They embrace the Tue son division generally. with Wilcox and Benson figuring heavily. A rel atively small number of the cattle were Sonora steers.
 That the fall shipments will equa the above figures, which represent spring shipments, is considered like. ly.
 The 1911 shipments comprised 470o cars, or l46. TOO cattle, valued s ,934 900.

Another Opinion
 On the Legislature

That the members Of the first state legislature hold office till 1915, but cannot convene except upon spec ial call by Governor Hunt, is the con-
 epsus of opinion among the attor- ys oI Phoenix
 In the opinion rendered in the Davis Osborn election case, the su- preme court decided that all state of- fcers should hold over till January l, 1915. There is section of the con- sti ution, however, that says the leg isiators shall hold office till the fret day of January. 1913 This is taken care O! by the provision that all oi- icers must hold till their successors | e elected and quslifed.-Democrst.

Heavy Cochise Rains
 Cause Much Damage

Heavy rains Monday night at the head Of Silver Greek, about 20 miles esst of Douglas, raised the waters to practically unprecedented height causing destruction of farm property in it's path.
 The principal damage done IS re- ported from the ranch of Fred Moore where the water swept scross the land he had plowed and partially planted. |. As q result the loose, sandy soil was carried down the stream and all of the seed washed out. All trace of blowing was obliterated by the sand carried by the flood.
 Reports from other portions of the valley cay that the full force of the rain mus, have expended itself in the hills as DO satisfactory rain was had in the lower end of the country.

hour held the closest attention of the
splendid audience that had come out to
hear him. He laid especial emphasis
on the legal side of the question and at
times arraigned society in the severest
terms. He said it was the first oppor-
tunity he had had to get back at some
of those who are continually arraign-
ing the trusts and such like, as society
is the worst trust the world has ever
produced. The speaker pleaded for the
rising generation, for higher ideals,
for better tone of morals among So
ciety, for the business world, for the
home.
The judge has very forceful deliv-
cry, and many times the speaker was
applauded. At the close the applause
lasted for several minutes.
Two songs by the double quartette
of high school boys and girls were
much appreciated. Supt. Sutton, in
presenting the class to the board of
education, paid mis- assistant teachers
nice compliment for their uniform
good work, and the class for it's faith
full service. President Coulter pre-
sented members of the class with their
diplomas.
Benediction by Rev. B. G. Jackson
concluded the program of the evening.
