COMES TO OBTAIN
 FREEDOM OF SON
Wealthy Texan is Here in Behalf Of Youth Accused of Crime
 Of Robbery.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

J. NJ. Lamb, a wealthy resident of Granger, Texas, was an arrival in the city Sunday, and his mission is none other than to secure the free dom of a son, who is acrnsed cf robbery, and who has been confined in the county jail for several weeks, being unable to secure bail.
 In the Superior Court yesterday, the scene was pathetic when the fla ther appealed to have his son fiber ated, and produced a cash bond of $l,0O0 for that purpose. Mir. Lamb also stated to the court that he had any sum necessary to secure the liberation of the boy, but Judge Smith stated that amount was satis- factory, when he was released from custody until his trial takes place.

BROWN BILL IS
 SOON TO BE INITIATED

TUCSON. May 2+-That he pro poses to place before the voters of the State, under the initiative, the proposal to establish a state recla- nation service bonded at $20,000,0O0 IS the announcement of State Sena- tor J. F. Brown of Pinal county. who was in Tucson Friday on mat ters of private business.
 q am in close touch with people throughout the state who are in terested in irrigation" said Senator J. F. Brown Tt will be no trouble to initiate this reclamation department bill and will move in that direction immediately with a number of persons whom have in mind and in reasonably short time we will have the necessary 2160 names.
 The bill for the creation of a re- clamatiOn department and also one for the issuance of $20,O00,0O0 worth of bonds to enable the department to operate, will De presented to the people as one measure.
 The plan is a feasible one. Of this l have been assured by experts on hnance and irrigation. Weak points in the scheme have been elim- mated and now am absolutely sure that it will be easy to convince the people that the plan Is a good one, one that will upbuild the state as nothing else could"
 Senator Brown has spent several years working out the plan and in drawing the hill he had assistance of the state water control commis- sion. Bonds to the amount of $20,- 0G0,00O are to be issued and sold as needed to undertake irrigation pro jects that the reclamation commis sion finds feasible Money is to be loaned to the land owners benefited by a project at a rate of interest one per cent higher than the state pays on its irrigation bonds. This one per cent will soon pay the cost of conducting the department. The people of Arizona as a whole will not pay a cent of interest on the bonds At first 1t will be necessary 10 contribute something like $l0,000 year toward the expenses of the department, but even that will not last long. Money to be expended un- der the direction and with the ap- proval of engineers employed by the department. In many ways the de partment will resemble the United States reclamation service.

TABLET IS NOT
 NEEDED YET FOR SMITH

SPOKANE, May 24-Subscrip- tions for tablet in memory of Will liam T. Smith, a pioneer man of the Boundary district north of Spokane, have been halted abruptly by the an- nouncement that Smith still lives. According to advices from Green wood, B. C., Smith suffered a para lytic stroke a few months ago, which caused his mind to become a blank, and he is now in the asy- lum at New Westminster, B. C. A month ago Spokane mining men re- ceived word that Smith had died, and a subscription was started to buy tablet in his memory. When the fund had been nearly completed information came that Smith still lives. Once the owner of ground from which the Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelling company has taken fortunes in ore, Smith is esti- mated to have been worth $lOO,- 900, which he spent with a free hand.

It is stated the young man is irresponsible mentally. In his home city, he had been tried for similar offenses committed in this county, but in each instance was acquitted.

MEXICAN CATTLE 10 BE IMPORTED
 BY THOUSANDS
Herd of 50,0O0 to 75,00O Now on the Way To
 The Border.

TUCSON, May 24.-Between 50,- GOO and 75,000 head of cattle in very good condition are on their way to the border from points in Sonora. From ten to fifty cattle buyers are hustling to the border from points on this side of the line
 There is the whole story, or the meat of it, as it were. The cattle are very much desired on this s;d~ of the line, and the Mexican owners vii get the best for their holdings that they have ever realized. The possibility of so doing comes about through an order issued among GUS tom officers along the line. It re- scinds an order issued about six weeks ago, in which the crossing of cattle was suspended. Under the new ruling cattle can be crossed as freely as desired upon observance of the usual conditions, including a bill of health, dipping, and bond fur nished by the government.
 Beneath the surface of this order as relating 10 cattle, there is a broader meaning, in that lifting of the earlier regulations means that the Washington authorities are ap- parently loosening in their attitude toward the Constitutionalists The order of six weeks ago was promul- gated because the state forces were said to have seized large number of cattle and to be ready to cross these to realize funds. Whether this was or is true or not the state will receive considerable sum in taxes with the crossing of cattle from So- nora, aside from any revenue that may be derived from the sale of the conhscated cattle. It is expected that during the next ten days thou sands of head will be put over the line, where shipments got under way yesterday, the first of the rush be- ing crossed over to buyers eagerly awaiting the supply, and augmented all along the line within the next few days.
 It is held, however, that in cases where the State of Sonora cannot show bill of sale for the cattle, satisfactory arrangement must be made with the previou: owner of the conhscated stock before it can be crossed to the United States. This, 1t is stated, was brought to the at tention of T. J. Donahue of Omaha, by Collector Con O'Keefe at the port of Nogales when 5o4 cattle were presented for export Their entry was protested by Rafael Camou, of Magdalena. Soon afterward it is stated, an agreement was reached whereby Camou withdrew his pro test The cattle were shipped through Tucson. s. O. Thompson, state cattle inspector, and w. L. Barnum, chairman of the Livestock Sanitary board, were among those who accompanied them. They had the shipment at the bord-

The people of the northern par of the state are opposed to the nev tariff bill as it now stands befor' Congress, and the following com munication from a prominent Demo crat will show the feeling in thi section, and will no doubt give ex pression to the real sentimen throughout the State:
 Flagstaff, Ariz, May l6, 1913. Hon. Marcus A. Smith,
 Washington, D. (.
 Dear Mark:
 am writing you again relative to the tariff bill now before thi Senate, which if passed, in my judg- ment would work hardship on the people of Arizona.
 While a United States Senator is supposed to legislate with a view to the entire country, it is now gen orally conceded, that the tariff be- ing a local issue, our representatives should first and foremost consider local conditions.
 With beef, mutton, lumber and sugar, our Arizona products on the free list, and citrus fruits, lead and zinc reduced materially, it assuredly looks as if Arizona had been singled out for special punishment.
 It is conceded by Democrats that for some years radical change in the tariff will work a hardship on localities affected by it.
 The president affirmed that the depression would be only temporary and further that the tariff would be adjusted gradually.
 In this world all effects are tenn porary, and it takes but a few months to completely destroy indus tries, and the savings of a life time.
 The shortest time, even in econo- mics, is long enough to do great in jury to a locality. I cannot under stand what the presidents expres- sion Of a gradual reduction means, if Arizona's industries are a citation, for beef, mutton and wool are not grad ually reduced, but placed on the free list The radical legislation now un-

FUNERAL CORTEGE IS COMPOSED

Odd Fellows Bury Wales Arnold Sunday At

The funeral of Wales Arnold on Sunday afternoon in the Verde Val ley was one of the most imposing that had ever taken place in this county, and was remarkable for the deep sympathy shown and the de served tribute extended his mem ory. ....
 In another respect 1t was notable, being the first time known in this section where the cortege was made up of automobiles, the long distance from Camp Verde to the burial place requiring this innovation. There were eleven machines employed, which conveyed the corpse and the visiting members of the Odd Eel lows lodge Of this city and several farmers of that region. This order took charge of the laying away of their brother, and his remains were placed by the side of those of his wife, who passed away about three years ago.
 Over 400 residents of the valley had congregated at the old stone church near Clear Creek, to pay their respects 10 the memory of one of the first settlers, and after brief services of the order, the last rites were over From this city there was a delegation of over thirty Odd Eel lows, headed by Judge Moore, No ble Grand of the Grand Lodge of the State.

Our plat form pledge to gradually reduce the tariff will be fulfilled, and conditions in Arizona will thrive and prosper while, under a radical and unwar- ranted change they cannot live.

An excellent method Of strengthen

the undesirable crotch. A hole Is
bored through the two limbs shors

should be made to flt the rod az near

The Washington Agricultural col
lege has the following to say on the
necessity of ventilation:
Dairy barns are very frequently
poorly ventilated. The dairy row is
then not only required to live. but to
work under unfavorable influences,
and she often falls a victim to such
diseases as tuberculosis. pneumonia,
bronchitis and colds Foul air is one
of the prime factors in the production
OF such diseases. Since the advent
of sanitary science in connection with
ventilation. the air space allowed for

number OF methods OF ventilation
have been devised. The exercise Of a
