CON- COLE ATTACKS
 DISCRIMINATORY CASES

Resolution calling on public service corporations to obey laws and cease favoring persons with a pull, " introduced by A. w. Cole, member of the State Cor poration Commission.
 Realizing that the state statute prohibiting the establishment of fixed minimum charge by a public service corporation, is be- ing violated, the state corpora tion commission, at a recent ex- ecutive session, adopted a reso- lution introduced by Member A. w. Cole, calling on the county attorneys of the various counties to investigate the matter.
 The resolution prepared by MT. Cole in full reads as follows:
 Whereas the attention of this commission has been called to the fact that in several counties of the state that gas, electric and water utilities are violating the provisions of section 2, chap ter 52, of the laws of the special session of the first legislature and
 Whereas, the legislature of the state of Arizona, by the en- actment of said chapter 52 took away from this commission the power to determine whether or not minimum charge should be made by any one of said public utility companies, and that there fore, the control of said matter has, by said chapter 52. been taken away from this com mission.
 Therefore, be it resolved, that the attorney general of the state of Arizona be requested to communicate with the county at- torneys of the various counties of the state of Arizona, request ing them to see that the provis- ions of said section 2, chapter 52 are enforced in their counties, and prosecutions be instituted by them in every case where sad

HAS SHEEP FROM
 AFGHANISTAN

Dr. c. c. Young believed to have only bunch of valuable breed now owned in the United States.
 Dr. c. c. Young has on his ranch near here herd of sheep which are the only ones of their kind in the United States and probably the only ones in the world outside of Persia and Af- ghanistan, their native home. They are known as Karakule fur sheep.
 Dr. Young says these are the sheep from which are taken Afghan, Krimmer, Astraken and Persian fur, which is used in making the famous Bokhara and Persian rugs.
 According to Dr. Young there is a peculiar law in Persia and Afghanistan which forbids the removal of these sheep from these countries under penalty of death. By living as one of the natives at the village of a local chief Dr. Young succeeded so far in gaining the good graces of this dignitary that he was allow, ed to smuggle fifteen of these sheep from the country.
 Dr. Young is again preparing to go to Persia to try to secure a few more of these valuable an- imals but says that he expects greater difficulties on the next trip than the previous one.-Al- buquerque Journal.

OLD WEDDING NOTICES.
Quaint Ads" That Announced the
 Fortune Won With the Bride.

Quaint Ads" That Announced the
 Fortune Won With the Bride.
 The advertisement of ones per sonal concerns is by no means, as some may think. a modern usage. In the old days there was scarcely a fashionable wedding recorded that did not have as an accompaniment an advertisement setting forth the brides fortune. Thus, in the Gen tleman's Magazine of March Is, 1735, one may find:
 "John Perry, Esq, of Carmar- thenshire, married to a daughter of Walter Lloyd, Esq, member for that country; fortune of fS,O00."
 This was a regular custom in the reign of George H. and was contin- ned for a considerable time later. In 1731 you may find this adver- tisement:
 Married, the Rev. Mir. Roger Waina of York, about twenty-six years of age, to a Lincolnshire lady, upward of eighty, with whom he is to have eS,00O in money, 43O0 per annum and a coach and four during life only" In the same paper is this:
 'NThe Earl of Antrim, of Ireland. to Miss Betty Pennefeather, a cele-

brated beauty and toast Of that kingdom" which would seem to in dicate that the lady had beauty in place of fortune.
 Toward the end of the century such wedding announcements were given with less glaring precision. In the Gazette of Jan. 5, 1789, you may find: Sunday se'nnight, at St. Aulkman's church, Shrewsbury, A. Holbeche, Esq, of Slowley Hill, near Coleshill, in this county, to Mrs Ashby of Shrewsbury, a very agreeable lady with a good for tune" Or, "On Jan. 3, at St. Martins church, William Lucas, Esq, of Holywell, in Northampton shire, to Miss Legge, only daughter of the late MT. Francis Legge, builder, of this town; an agreeable young lady with handsome for tune."
 One of the latest of these per sonal advertisements occurs in the Birmingham Gazette, July A. 1900, being the notice of the wedding of the Right Hon. George Canning, undersecretary of state, to Miss Scott, "with s10O,OOO for a for tune. ."-New York Herald.

Cattlcmen Protest
 At Sheep On Ranges.

There is trouble brewing be- tween the cattlemen and the sheepmen in and around Geroni- mo. The affair is an old one, the cattlemen saying that the sheepmen have no right to drive their herds across the cattlemen's range and thereby ruin the range for the cattle.
 It IS expected that trouble will occur at any time.
