Fnrns nf Exnctions.

This control takes form in various
exactions as the charge, We win say,
of 25 cents per head for yardage, or
$50 to $50 per ton for hay, and often
times a very inferior grade of hay is fur
nished, even at that price; surety bonds
are required from outside dealers,
whether buyers or sellers, and if the
trust is inclined to shut the independ-
ent dealer, whether buyer or seller, out
of that particular market, it can put
the surety bond so high that he cannot
get it, or if he does get it, at a cost so
great as to cut into his profits.

Wilson's Interview,

II note that Thomas E. Wilson, pres
ident of the Morris Packing company,
in an interview in the Morning Times,
says that the union stockyards his
company proposes to build will be
used by everyone and will be of gen
eral benefit That is all right as far
as it goes Mr.. Wilson did not say
what his charges would be. Under the
'28-hour law all cattle passing through
Ell PasO, in any direction, must be I'M
loaded in order to be fed. watered and
rested, and therefore all will be sub
ject to an unloading, feeding and wa
tering charge.

It is thot that many who are familiar with the past will sign these P etitions with caution. The ques- tion is being asked why Coconino County should build roads for
 Maricopa County or why the citiz- ems of Coconino County should be taxed to build roads in any County except in Coconino?

The following is an extract fcom a letter received by Judge Harhen md which is self explanatory.
 Having had the pleasure of meet ing you gentlemen in person and at that time that I was in a posi-. tion to put forth a reference work in the shape of which J. Harry Minor told you gentlemen that we were mapping, and compiling as we went along the National Old Trails Road, he explained to you at that time positively that he would not detour for any reason whatso- ever from the above road.
 He has detoured from the Nat. ional Old Trails Road east of Kansas City. This alone breaks all promises.
 Upon my arrival in Kansas City I found that we had not been logg- ing or mapping or in fact doing anything but taking money and talking as we went along. If f'there was any logging or mapping,photo- graphing important points, taking milage from speedometer etc;it was not done in my presence. 1 was in the car every foot of the way from Los Angeles to Kansas City.

WILLIAMS 5 HAGSIAFF5


 Last Sunday the Williams boys Journeyed to Flagstaff for a game that turned out to be the best ex- hibition of the National Pastime that any team representing Will Hams has put up this season. The score was five to three, favor of Flagstaff, but the article of ball played bysour boys was so far su- perior to anything so far this year that evensthe loss of the game was 8 revelation to the few stand-pat- ters that accompanied them.
 The lineup was composed, with two exceptions, of Williams boys. Hollis Spiller being on the mound with Carlson doing the receiving. It was Carlson's first game behind the bat for Williams, and, after being . little unsteady in the first two innings, he settled down and caught ball like veteran for the rest of the game. Spiller pitched air tight ball all the way and al- lowed Flagstaff only five measley bingles and one base on balls. He pitched the kind of game that des- erved g victory but the breaks in luck were against him. The Will sams boys gathered seven hits three of them for extra bases and three bases on balls of Flagstaff pitcher, more than enough to win an average game of this kind. Jimmy Spiller our veteran catcher held down the third base corner in a manner pleas ing to all. Second was we'll taken care of by RItcher and .Schneedle while Black took the pegs at the initial station. Seotty McDougal played the whole game in center field and scquitt6R himseH with credit both in the field and at bot.
 Kirkpatrick and Young switched off in left field when Young took Russelps place in right field.
 We believe that the. team as it stands, with the practice they are getting every night now, will soon be able to put up the kind of ball that the fans are crying for.
 Next Sunday Flagstaff will be down for, the return game. The Williams teamswil be strengthensa' somewhat by the addition of an other pitcher Clark of Prescott and Ramon Montoya last years short stop. They are both good stickers and are expected to he of material help. A little boosting by the fans is in order and will certainly b. appreciated by the management.

WHAT ALCOHOL IS

his speech:
 WHAT ALCOHOL IS
 Dr. Hall Dean of the Medical School of Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.,, stated five years ago az the result of his discoveries that alcohol is the offal or excreta of the yeast organism. In the past it was supposed to be stimulart. Now 1t is proven to be an irritant in- stead, and furthermore, is found to be deterrent in its effects upon the human system.
 The increased heart action false ly believed to be due to the stimu- lation which follows the use of alec hol is really only the strong effort of the body to throw off the poison.
 MT. Harvey Wiley, the famous food expert states positively that alcohol is not necessary in medical prescriptions; that other substances are preferable to alcohol and that he does not even consider it a drug.
 It is we'll known hygienic law, that no higher organism can assim-' Hate the waste matter of lower organism, but that is exactly what a man tries to do when he takes alcohol in any form. He simply adds to the waste already within his system, only the poison of aleo- hol is far more injurious than any poison caused by the waste of the human system.
 Deleriumm .Tremens is caused in the following manner. The white corpuscle of the blood acts as a .scavenger in eliminating the pois- ons in the blood. Alcohol para lizes this edenscle and in it's en- deavor to regain strength with which to combat t4the enemy it seeks the most available matter upon which to feed. This is none other than the GRAY MATTER OF THE BRAIN.
 When a man has delerium tre- mems and sees hideous reptiles and all sorts of loathsome creatures rushing at him as tho to devour him it is because his brain is actu- ally being attacked from within ana the very life of his reason is being devoured
 This is no imaginary description of what and why Delerium Ire mems is, but an actual explanation of facts we'll known to medical science. Statistics further prove that the presence of alcohol within the system increases the fatalities from tuberculosis and diabetes. Those who traffic in liquor for gain are the worst foes of modern so, ciety. They are the last persons whose influence should count fo, anything in the affairs of the com. munity as the power which they seek is that which will serve to per. petuate their own business. It ii self evident that the license money from the saloons does very little tt compensate the comm munity for th' care and expense of the crime ane destitution caused by the iquo business.
 The laborings man, the cowboy the miner and the shee pherder ar, at last coming to see that only friendship which the saloon busi ness has for them is the kind whicl furnishes an oppurtunity to talk their money away from them After their money is gone the sa looms have very little use for tn patrons.
