Congress can we'll take up one or two of lhaSr aI the rum- ing session and dispose nf them.
 Tn" most important of these subjects are rnnSrrvai ion and the closely related development of Alaska. Thrr" is nn party hi- vision on these subjects.

Continued from Page One) to authorize the preparation of the enabling act. which Senator Davis. of Maricopa, who was present. declared would go through the legislature if "the people are for it.. and it is not an emergency measure"
 Following the preparation of the bill the two boards will meet to hear it read, and then if satisfactory it will be run through the legislature and an election called to record the will of the people.
 The county is in serious need of new and greatly enlarged quarters and the city is rapidly approaching the same state. Both county and city buildings are old, badly adapted and combustible: in every way unfitted for the uses to which they are put. Under this plan handsome new structure may be secured without cost. and public sentiment so far as it has crystalized seems to favor the propo- sition by large majority.

 Mexican Herald: The transcript of the voluminous testimony in the case of General Bernardo Reyes has been passed to General Lauro Villar, commander of the military plaza of the capital and the at torney appointed by General Vil- lar will give his opinion with re- ference to the appeal from the third decree of formal imprison- ment entered against the prisoner Wednesday. The appeal from the third degree is made by the defense on the grounds that it is based on charges already included in the charge of rebellion. The last de- cree of formal imprisonment was based on the charges already in- cluded in the charge of rebellion. The last decree of formal imprison- ment was based on the charge that General Bernardo Reyes had acted in a manner to render military discipline ineffective and to cause trouble in the service. When the attorney gives his opinion in the matter, General Villar will render ! his decision. The matter of ad- hitting Licenciado Rodolfo Reyes to bail is at standstill owing to the fact that the series of questions filed by Judge Manuel Nagore have not yet been answered by the prisoner nor the lawyers for hi; defense. Should he be let out or bond the sum would be, it is said
 between ten and twenty thousand
 pesos.

 Chihuahua Enterprise: Several well known land owners in the states of Pu9bla and Guerrero, are planning to present a complaint to President Madero, with respect to the suspension of guaranties on the ground that the clause prohibiting the sale of arms to Zapatistas has made it impossible for them to obtain arms with which to defend their ranches. They propose that the dealers be entitled to sell arms without fear of apprehension to persons holding letters from the authorities of the districts in which they live It is held that the mer- chants, for fear that they may inadvertently sell arms to some person who may subsequently, come under the band of the law will refuse to sell to any one. Due to this fact the ranches which are some distance from a garrison are left undefended and are open to continual ravages by the rebels.
 Mexican Herald: "The British minister has made no appeal to this department in either the case of George l. Ham, accused of de- trauding the United States Bank ing company, or regarding the proposed transfer of the Popo pack. ing company to the British and Mexican Trust company" said Manuel Calero, minister of foreign relations, last night. "Mr, Stronge called today, but neither question was discussed. Should the British minister make any appeal regard ing either matter all 1 could do would be request the department of justice to make an investigation. l do not believe, from what l know of the case of George 1. Ham, that it can become an international question and feel quite sure that it must be settled by the court. Judge Salazar, who had the case, is most honorable man and the fact that two years has passed without decision being rendered IS not at all strange when it is known that full library of docu. ments must be gone over."
 Chihuahua Enterprise: The state government las determined to stop the unlawful practice of Thigh grading" in the various mining camps of the state and very shortly will set out to put it's determinations into practice.
