The Arizona State troops were the first members of the organized militia of the United States to be called out for active service in the present Mexi- can trouble, when Major Harry II. Donkersley of Yuma took companies H. and L. of the First Infantry into the field last evening for patrol duty along the reaches of the Colorado river west Of Yuma to the California Mexico line. Already the Mexican federal troops from Lower California are con- centrating below Yuma in Mexico to the extent that the great irrigation works that have been constructed by , the American government at the cost Of millions of dollars are in danger. IL was to protect these works that Gov ernOr Hunt in response to the urgent telegrams of the citizens of Yuma or dered the two companies to take the field and then backed that up with in structions to the adjutant general to see that all other Arizona attachments are ready for service, in the event they are needed at a moments notice,
 Adjutant General Harris was pleased 1 to report to His Exceilency that the i First Regiment of Infantry $50 strong 1 is in a greater state of preparedness ! than at any time in the history of the organization. Immediate steps are be 1 ing taken by the company commanders
 to recruit the companies to a full war strength which will be in excess Of ! HOO men. This action was followed by l telegraph instructions to the machine gun platoon attached to the regiment and stationed at Tucson to entrain for Phoenix last evening and they will ar rive on this mornings train. The pur- pose of this movement is to equip them with machine guns which are now in the storeroom at Phoenix.
 Following the instructions ordering
 the men into the field at Yuma orders
 were sent to Lieut.. Louis Levy, com
 missary and quartermaster of the sec
 ond battalion to issue three days ra-
 tions to the men. Within an hour af-
 ter the order had been sent from head

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl WASHINGTON. April 21.-The air was filled with all sorts ofsensational rumors during the day Officials were nervously eXpectant. Rear-Admiral F1etcher's report came in quick time from Vera Cruz, however. describing
 briefly what had taken place Cabinet secretaries who discussed Fletchers' report with the President nearly an hour, showed by their demeanor that the loss of life and bloodshed affected them greatly.
 Information which came from sources close to the cabinet council to the ef- feet that the President exercising self restraint, has calmly determined that with the seizure of Vera Cruz and the prevention of shipments of arms from reaching Huerta. further steps will not be taken by the American, government for the present. The future depends on the action by the Huerta authorities. Secretary Garrison announced en- phatically that no troop movements have been ordered.
 T hope it's all over" said Garrison
 T believe the Mexicans fired to save their face in retreat.
 Officials do not believe that Huerta i will take any offensive steps, but if he does, American marines and bluejack cts will be assembled at Vera Cruz within 4S hours to the number of about i j,00u Estimates here place the ! Huerta forces in Mexico City at about ! 5000 to 1000 men, and the belief of
 army and navy officials is that Ameri- i can forces, if necessary, would be able
 to reach the Mexican capital without

HANDLING SHEEP
Cattle Man Makes Change i'm His DC,
cupation.

Harrisburg, Sept. 29.-One of our
prosperous and genial farmers, An
drew Tjaden, is having the time of
his life these days. playing the part
of a shepherd. Mr.. Tjaden has for
years been a cattle man and has sue
ceeded in the business, but recently
he became enthused with the idea
that there was more easy money in
sheep, so he ventured an investment
in a small flock" of 900 and has now
faced the problem of refeneing his
entire farm with woven wire fence
that he may keep them at home, but
that is not all of his trouble. as the
coyotes seems to have scented the
prize from afar, and now Mr.. Tia
denis peaceful dreams of largely in
creased bank accounts are frequently
ruthlessly shattered by the night
howl of this enemy of the wool pro-
Queer. But he will solve the problem
yet and have a fine bunch of good
fat sheep to turn into golden shekles.

Will Bring i'm a Revenue of 1857 1853
for the Fiscal Year.

Pierre, Sept. ga revenue of
$987,359 has been paid w to the
schools of the state during the last
fiscal year from revenue received by
the land commissioners department
from school funds, as shown by the
biennial report, just sent to the
printer. The report shows that 49,
956 acres of public lands have been
sold by the state up to the present
date, and from this a permanent fund
of $10,735,50 sos, which steadily draws
interest, has been derived. and there
are still more than 100000 acres
left. The tax commission has found
these school lands in the various
counties now have a selling value of
at least $4,000, 900.
The state now owns 345,000 acres
of land in Harding county, which is
land taken in lieu of Indian allot-
ments made on school land sections.
A large portion of this will be offer
ed for sale this fall by the state.
Commissioner Hepperle suggests
several legislative features for the
school and land laws: To extend
lease periods to twenty years on land
used for agricultural purposes; for
laws requiring better handling of
timber on the state forest reserve;
for the care of islands forming in the
Missouri river; for the management
of reelected and a~ccretion lands.

THE GREAT BATTLE
SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS COM
PILED FROM WAR DIS
PATCHES.

New York, Sept. 29.-Special:
Trench by trench, foot by foot, the
allies are gaining ground against the
German right wing, according TO
Paris dispatches. Gen. Joffre, it is
said, has pushed his troops inside the
range of the deadly German artillery
and forced the enemy to hand to
hand fighting.
The official news bureau at Paris
today contented itself with the state
ment that the Germans are making
violent attacks against the allies be-
tween the districts of the Aisne and
the Argonne. All of these attacks
are said to have been repulsed.
Dispatches indicate hat the Indian
troops have reached France and are
now at the front. These, with the
terrible Turoc and Moors of the
French army, doubtless are being
used in the hand to hand encounters
in which they are said to excel.
The fighting now in progress is
said to be the most deadly of any
since the war began, both sides suf-
fering tremendous losses. 1t is the
opinion of the French that the ex-
hausted troops of Gems. Won H.uck
and Won Boehm cannot long stand up
to the frightful carnage of bayonet
fighting.
The last fo~rty-eight hours have
witnessed many scenes of e~xtraordi-
nary activity wherever the antago-
nists faced each other in the great
theater of Europe's war, but none of
these encounters apparently have
been decisive. The official communi-
cations of yesterday stated that the
attack on the German right has made
a distinct advance and this version is
supported by official Berlin advices,
which say the allies have made ex-
| tensive advances against the German
| extreme right.
Along the great western battle line
| itself the struggle still continues to
| be general, with the most determined
| attacks being made on each flank
| Both sides eventually have realized
| that the mass attacks in the center
are futile in the present exhausted
| state of the armies.
There has been a distinct falling
off of war news emanating from the
capitals of the belligerents and which
must pass through these capitals IL
Preaching the United States. The cen
sorship at London has been made
much more severe, evidently in tn
interest of British strategy and thi
action has been reflected at Paris, re
sulting in abbreviated reports, officia
and unofficial, from France. From
the start the censorship at Berlin hai
been rigid. At the present momen
the absence of detailed reports from
the battle lines seem to indicate tina
lmomentous events are t%ranspiring.

Yankton, Sept. 29.-During the

some OF these are likely to be called

Canada three years ago, has been ask

up as a target in the European war

cooler weather much interest will

was decided to wait another week
