Readable Items from the Cattle Ranges
 of Arizona.

Coconino Sun: The Sun is in receipt of information which con- firms the rumor to the effect that large cattle sale has just been consummated in the Verde valley. Fain and Back, Wingfeld and See have just closed a deal in which they transfer to Degan Bros, of Denver about 1000 head of one, two and three year old steers, the same to be delivered at Flagstaff in June. The price is considered exceptionally good for spring delivery, the ones bringing S21.50, the twos $2650 and the rhrees S31.50. The cattle will be shipped from Flagstaff to Denver. The buyers were looking for other stuff but it seems they secured about all that was on the market at this time.
 Globe Belt: w. A. Perkins, one of the owners of the R bar ranch at Pleasant Valley is in Globe on business. He said that there was two feet of snow on Baker mountain and 16 inches at McFaddens, that they had plenty of rain and that if the weather continued warm 1t would be only short time before the grass on the ranges would be most plentiful. He also said that the recent rains had made the roads boggy and that travel along them was not all that could be de- sired. Mir. Perkins said that the ranchers in that country consisting of the William Young, Ed Gillson, c. w. Allenbaugh, Paul Russell and his ranch were now engaged in making preparations for the spring roundup which would commence May 1.

BOARD OF REVENUE
 NEED NOT KNOW LAW
Courthouse Officials Much Interested in Rumors That Candidates
 Must Be Lawyers

The various judges and officials around the courthouse attach little or no im- portance to the recent suggestions that the candidates for the board of revenue of Jefferson county are required to be learned in the law.
 The question was raised by a decision Of the supreme court in a case appealed from Calhoun county, which held that the boards of revenue were courts of record
 The further suggestion was made that with the exception of the probate judge those presiding over courts of record were required by the constitution to be learned in the law.
 The consensus of opinion was. that while the board of revenue was held to be a court of record. inasmuch as min- utes eof the proceedings were kept. yet the members thereof had no judicial standing, their functions being of leg islative and executive nature. The con stitution of the state provides that the judges of courts of record shall be learned in the law. Under no construc- tion could the members of the board be classed as judges. hence that provision of the constitution does not apply so far as they are concerned. The distinc- ton lies in the fact that the section of the constitution specifically says ..iudges'' and not officials of such courts; therefore, the members of the board not having judicial functions, dc not come under the provisions of the constitution any more than do the clerks of the county courts.

LITTLE CHANCE OF
 SETTLING STRIKE
Mill Owners Refuse to Enter Conference With the
 Strikers

Lawrence, Mass, January 24.-Pros- poets of an early general settlement of the strike of 15.000 textile workers in this city looked dim tonight when the mill owners refused to enter confer ence with a committee of 4s strikers in the presence Of the state board of arbitration.
 The American Woolen company, how ever, presented a statement to the state board of arbitration in which it declared that the company expects to meet committee of its own employees to confer with them, in an endeavor to settle the trouble.
 The general strikers committee to- night discussed the situation with mem bers of the state board of arbitration, but the mill owners refused to enter the conference.
 At an outdoor meeting this afternoon, William D. Haywood urged the strikers to remain firm and said he intended to go west soon and solicit aid for them. Referring to the presence of soldiers in Lawrence, he said:
 q have been in other strikes where soldiers were at hand, but I never saw a strike defeated by soldiers All you have to do is to keep the check upon yourselves and don't give the other side a chance to get you. If we must keep this strike on, we will do our best to shut off all railroad traffic to Law renee"
 Haywood expressed the opinion that 1t would be possible to stop coal and other necessities coming to Lawrence so there would be no light or heat In the mills. He thought that if it were found necessary, soldiers should be ct at f.F Ia-x aa Etter addressed the crowd. He asked how many would be in favor of con tinuing the strike should no agreement be reached at tonight's conference. The vote was practically unanimous to con tinne the fight.
 Following the open air meeting, the strikers paraded through the city dis tricts. No attempt was made to invade the mills and there was not any sign of trouble.

KEITH TESTIFIES.
 FOR THE DEFENSE
Of 17,359 Producing Lumber lCom-
 panies Only 224 Belonged to Association

Kansas City January 24.-Chares s. Keith, a coal and lumber dealer of Kan sas City. tonight testified for the defense in the custer suit instituted by the state against 26 lumber companies. The con- cerns are alleged to have violated the anti trust laws by fixing prices of lumber sold by the members of the Yellow Pine Lumber Manufacturers association.
 MT. Keith produced figures to show that of 17,359 producing lumber companies only 224 companies belonged to the association, and also showed figures taken from the books of 13 lumber companies showing 2S92 cases of duplicate sales of the same quality of lumber, made on the same day, at a difference in price of from 25 cents to $7 in 96 per cent of the cases.
 The witness declared nurture the charges that dealers had fixed prices. He said the sharpest competition existed during the period under investigation. The prices quoted in the paper market report issued by the association, he said, had nothing to do with the price at which lumber was actually sold.

 Mail Clerk Hurt

Enfaula, January 24-(SpeelaL)-Eas bound passenger train No. 6, whica passed through here at Il o'clock this morning, was badly wrecked just beyond the yard limits of the depot Mail Clerk J. C. Adkins of Fort Valley, who suffered the breaking of two ribs and some severe bruises about the head, was the only one injured.
 The baggage and mail coach, together with the tender, which broke loose from the engine, were completely derailed and would have tumbled 15 feet into gully but for a coal car that stood on the sid- ing. The mail coach crushed into the gondola and was badly torn up, and tho engine sped fully 200 yards before Engineer Bill Washer, who was in charge, could bring it to a stop. The Ft. Gaines train was dispatched from Cuthbert, Ga, and conveyed the passengers on their journey.
 A large force of hands cleared the track and the westbound passenger train passed through on schedule time this afternoon. The cause is assigned to either the spread ing of rails or the bucking of the tender in going down grade.

Collectors of internal revenue, the country over can now be more militant than ever before in enforcing the oleo- margarine laws. They were advised by Commissioner of Internal Revenue Cabell today that the general revenue law imposing severe punishments on persons refusing to admit revenue off, cers to premises where taxable articles are kept or obstructing them in the exercise of their duties, applies to cases arising under the oleomargarine law.
 This is in accordance with a recent decision of the United States court of customs appeals and in the Judgment of the commissioner places an effective weapon, which has been sought for, seven years in the hands of revenue officers examining oleomargarine, or adu1terated or renovated butter, for the protection of the public.

How a Woman May

"The woman who wants to look young must taboo massage creams and liquid rouge. She will only harden the struct- ure of her face and destroy the fine texture of the sl<in," said Mrs. Mar garet Holmes Bates the well known author, to a Chicago Journel represen- tative.
 "Reputable physicians have declared that if she indulges in artificial methods she risks losing her health she con tinued. A perfectly natural method of treating bad complexion is by using ordinary mercolized wax; this adds nothing to the complexion. but removes 1t instead This wax, obtainable at any drug store. faxes off the sallow or blotchy outer skin in fine particles, gently, without harming the skin be- meath, which gradually makes its ap- pearance The brilliantly beautiful complexion thus obtained is new one; quite different from n patched up old complexion.

FORD GIVES SAYING
 ON ENSLEY FARE
Presents Figures to Show How , Cent Fare Af-
 fects the Public

That the people of Birmingham have been saved $s42l.s4 during the first p days of January by the reduction of the fare on the Ensley lines was the state ment of A. H. Ford, president of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company, yesterday. He further states that at tliis ratio the loss to the com pany for the year 1912 will be $61, ,s55.94, which is equivalent to 19.1 per cent.
 The statement of MT. Ford is of special interest in view of MT. Ford's previous statements, that the estimated annual loss of revenue to the company would be $70.OOO. All other lines of the company showed an increase of per cent for the first 22 days of January over the corre- spending days of 1911.
 "When the matter of cent fare to Ems ley was under consideration, l made the statement that it would mean a loss of S70,OO0 in revenue to the company" said MT Ford For that reason I am inter osted, and so are thousands of the patrons of the company, in knowing the exact figures.
 For the first 22 days of January of this year our revenue on the Ensley lines was $3421.S4 less than for the same days of 1911. This does not include the fares taken on lines which connect with the Ensley lines tc which transfers were issued, which would materially increase the amount of loss this year.
 ''The other lines of our system showed an increase Of 8 per cent. It is reason able to suppose the Ensley lines would have shown a similar increase at the old fare, 10 cents, so that we are loosing an additional per cent, which would make approximately 27 per cent.
 
 direct saving to the people who patronlze the Ensley lines of at least 19 per cent, and propably very much greater.
 My object in giving the information Is that the public may appreciate the fact that no m1sfepresentations were made in our statements regarding our estimated loss in revenue due to the reduction of thc IrncIo.r fnr
