Total for 1912 -Four and a
Quarter Billions.

ports increased by only $3.50, ZOO, 000.
The greatest gain in imports was in
manufactures ready for consumption,
in which class there was an increase
of $105,00O,000 over 1912. In manu-
features for further use in manufac-
turing there was an increase of more
than $6O,O0O,OOO. The increase in
foodstuffs was only a little more than

Most of the imports were from the

form that the books cannot be kept in

how on different shelves. This has
gone on for years. At different times
the library has been searched and lock-

MUCH IS EXPECTED OF
 SNOWFLAKE COMPANY

Snowflake will have one of the best companies at the National Guard of Arizona encampment next summer, predicts Lieuten- ant Richard D. LaGarde, in- spector and instructor of the N. 'G. A. Lieutenant LaGarde has just returned from Snowflake, where he assisted in the organ ization of Go. F. transferred from Clifton to that place.
 There are fifty-eight men in the Snowflake company, and they are all great, husky fellows, " said Lieutenant LaGarde. They are ideal soldiers, and it was al- most unnecessary to send a sur geon there to examine them. Fourteen or fifteen of them are more than 6 feet in height. All are big. broad-shouldered coun- try boys, who look like they could stand anything. 1 think their methods of living have something to do with it. There isn't saloon in Snowflake, and it is hard to get a cigar there.
 ''The members of the new com pany are in earnest. They will continue to take interest in their company because there no dis fractions in that town like there are in the cities to keep them away from drill. Why, there inst a moving picture show in Snowflake.
 After three drills they were able to go through company movements. They had no arms or uniforms. of course, but they will be equipped immediately.
 The most prominent men of Snowflake are members of Go. F. Samuel Smith, president of the Snowflake stake of the Nor mon church, is enlisted as a pri- vate in the ranks. MT. Jesse Smith was elected captain; the first lieutenant is a young man named Flake, and the second lieutenant is named Rogers. All are efficient officers.
 Before leaving Snowflake I picked out a target range for the company. It is about two miles and a half from the town. = Gazette.

 George Morse, the sheep man, came in from Holbrook yesterday morning for a couple days visit with friends here.

 Just because the Santa Fe thinks we are such riff-raff every travelling man who makes Arizo- ma, or nearly all of them, have requested their houses to ship all goods over any old road possible except the Santa Fe. Of course this is real diabolical on their part.
 While in the hands of the dem- ocrats at Phoenix. we leave the Sun in the hands Of MT. w. J. Wright. If you want any little old law made while you wait, just send down the ''makin's. The more ''makin's" you send the longer we'll stay away, for there's no time limit on the leg islature, except the condition of the state treasury.
 Col. c. w. Harris, adiutant general of Arizona, during his trip north, was interested in find ing out whether state laws amont- ed to anything when they con- ficted with Santa Fe rules. He discovered that at Holbrook and Winslow the Santa Fe won, but at Flagstaff he won and was able to ride the limited train. Strange how easy it is for some to ride the limited regardless of the rules while how exceedingly difficult it is for another to even approach that train without a solemn warn ing to keep off. The question is still to be solved as to whether Arizona was created for the San ta Fe or whether the Santa Fe was built afterwards.
