Bill Advocates
 County Seat Removal

According to sdy ices received from Phoenix. the so-cslled county sest removal bill was introduced in the senate yesterday by the code commis- sion, which seeks to modify the prcs ent couaty seat removal law. by per- hitting corporations to sign petitions calling .ior election on removal of county tests.
 This bill is designed by . number of Bisbee and Douglas real estate boomers in an fort to saddle debt oi $350, 900 to $500 900 on Cochise coun. ty iu .sdvocscy of county seat remov. sl.
 The fundamental plan Of tbe law to guarantee pernsnsncy of county seats is to be upset, if the wishes of these few advocates were consulte d and the moving of county seats made an easy. sailing affair.
 As h is now, corporations are not allowed to sign a petition for the re- movsl of county governments for the simple reasor- and as could apply in Cochise county at the present time-two large corporate interest," alone would be necessary to comply with the property requirements suc nothing prevent county seat petI ion presented ard elections had every B days. il need be.
 Should a railroad or large cor DOT .te interest desire to advance "bcom" for 8 city on the right of wa or enhance their own interests at sn. point. nothing would prevent . shou for . county seat election, maintain rivalry iu the intere -ts Of those con cerned, and keep the county seat O skids and continually insecure.
 Aside from this, Cochise count citizens sHd the small taxpayer, is DC inclined to li-ten to the siren song ( c few real estate boomers, for count sea, removal with s350,OO0 to $501, 600 string attached is not regsrde with favor.

ALAMOGORDO FEVER
EPIDEMIC SUBSIDIES
No New Cases Of Scarlet Fever Reported
and Sick Are COnvalescent; Herald
Item Causes Many Inquiries.

Alamogordo, n. NJ, Dec. 1.-THE
health officers of the city report that
the epidemic Of scarlet fever which has
prevailed here during the past few
weeks. has about abated. No new cases
have developed for the past week, and
those who have been quarantined have
been released.
As a result Of an. item appearing in
The FL PasO Herald concerning the
development of the Denia onion by
T. NJ Boatright, of this city. he has
received numerous inquiries concern
ing the growth and cultivation Of the
onion. Many of these communications
have asked for the purchase Of seed,
but Mr. Boatright has none for sale
The cultivation. he says, though, IS
simple. After planting, he irrigates
about every 10 days, and after each
irrigation he slightly cultivates the
soil and keeps it loose. His land is
alluvial, being made up of washings
from Alamo canyon. about three miles
southeast of this city. The specimen
of the onion submitted by Mr.. Boat
right to the national department Of
agriculture was pronounced practical
" a perfect specimen, but Mr.. Boat
right expects for the next season to
improve upon it, in size at least.

QUAY RETURNS NO
AGRICULTURAL LANDS
Tax Rolf Show the County Has Abund-

Santa Fe. n. NJ. Dec. 16.-Quay coun-
ty, although it has an agricultural eH-
pertinent station, although lands on the
Paiarito have been under irrigation and
cultivation for many decades, although
it holds an annual county faIr and prldes
itself on its crops, has no agricultural
lands in its assessment returns, correct
ed and approved, received by the travel

Two tons of hay valued at $40, 100
bushels OF wheat valued at Sl5O, 81

However, Quay county Is not poverty
stricken. It confesses to SS,039,094
worth of proprty. including S8050. worth
of cash, or almost a whole silver dollar
for each inhabitant, and that is a much
better showing than made by such old
counties as SandOval, for Quay Is new
county.
Quay county has annexed a certain
degree of culture, for it reports $685.

abundant In a new county, but the as
SCISSOR found S1095 worth that Is IA
times as much as was found in the
county of Sandoval The people OF
Quay county are also musical, for there
are assessed $24,5S0 worth of pianos,
graphophones. self-players, fiddles, cor
nets, trOmbOnes and other instruments.
That is almost $3.50 worth per inhab-
tant. The people of Quay county man
age to get along with S91,762 worth Of
fI--nIture.
The QUAY cOuntians turn in S3450
worth of blacksmiths' tools, or as much
as the total of bonds and warrants held

Austin, Tex. Dec 1.-THE attorney
generals department today held an
opinion to the secretary of state that
the socalled "blue sky law" Of the last
legislature does not apply to corpora
lions chartered prior to the taking ef-
feet of the law, nor does it apply to IN
ereases of capital stock where such IN
crease was made before the act became
effective. 1t is also held that the aa
applies to mining, townsite. oil and gas
companies where it is the purpose of
such corporation to sell stock based on
an increase of the capital stock.

the law which requires tOwnsite COM
panies to get a permit from the seere-
tary of state before they can sell their
town lots Is void and of no effect.
