10 FIX VALUATION
 0F RAILROAD LAND

That the state, the counties and the Santa Fe, should share the expenses of an examination and classification of the railroad land grant in the five northern counties was the plan which met with the favor of the Tax Commission and and representatives of the railroad company at conference held in Phoenix the latter part of last week.
 The Santa Fe's land grants, which include alternate sections along the right-of-way in Apache, Navajo, Coconino, Mohave and Yavapai counties, have heretofore been given a blanket assessment of seventy-five cents per acre. Some of the land is said to be worth much less than that figure, and other tracts are worth consid- erably more. Boards of supervis- ors of the counties concerned are said to be favorable to the plan, which will be put up to them for approval before being carried out. The Santa Fe is heartily in favor of the idea, and is willing to con- tribute its third of the expense.- Phoenix Republican.

WHAT AR|zONRS STOCK
 INTERESTS REALLY ARE

Arizona has 1IS,ooo head of horses, 1000 mules, 44,6oo milch COWS, 73o,ooo other cattle, I,761,- 900 sheep and 3I,ooo hogs.
 These figures are taken from the livestock report for Arizona com. piled by the United States weather bureau in cooperation with the department of the interior.
 The report is quite detailed, giving the number of head of each variety of stock for the past five years and the value per head in Arizona and the whole of the nation.
 It is shown that Arizona horses average S7o each in value, while those of the United States in gen. eral average s1oS. Mules are worth S1o4 in Arizona, as against $I12 for the nation.
 Mich COWS in Arizona, accord. ing to this report, command bet ter prices than the average for the country at large. They are worth $74 per head, as against $55 in the nation, and the same is true with reference to range cattle.
 Sheep are of less value in this state than the average for the

Mountain Lions Kill Stock

Frank Condron, who arrived in Prescott from Walnut Grove last week., reported that mountain lions were leaving the higher ele- vations of the Bradshaws, and entering the valley lands in greater numbers than ever before.
 The hunger of the beasts is such that they are killing calves in great number and it is estima- ted fully 25 per cent losses had occurred among that class of live stock. Practically every colt in that region has fallen a prey to these vicious and cunning beasts, and the situation is deplorable. The lions has been in shelter for the winter in the mountains adia- cent, but the duration of the heavy storms has been much longer and much more severe than in many years, producing a hunger that makes these wild beasts desperate.
 Clark Winger while returning a few days ago from range trip on horseback, was followed by two huge lions, to within short dis tance of his home. Being without

 ITO the Honorable Mayor and
 Council, Flagstaff, Ariz:
 Gentlemen: We the under signed respectfully petition your Honorable Body to reconsider the matter of paving District No. I, with patented process paving, and ask that you entertain proposi- ton to pave with Tarvia.
 We are advised the royalty ol Patented Process Paving amounts to 25 cents per square yard, or a total of approximately S3,Soo ir this district.
 We further believe that we car effect saving of approximately $ cents per square yard on the contract price, as by using Tar. via" pavement we will have local as we'll as outside contractors tc bid on the contract in question.
 As to the quality and lite O. 'Tarvia" constructed pavements we believe, from the best informa ton obtainable, that it will render us the same service and last a: long as the Patented Process Pay ing.
 Further that the cost of main tenance and repairs, as may b, necessary from time to time through necessity of tearing up th' streets for the purpose of install ing water or sewer system, is re duced to a minimum, as it require! no special machinery or skilled labor to make these repairs.
 Trusting you will give the abov' due and favorable consideration we are most respectfully yours,
 Signed as follows:

Sheep Shearing Now On

Shearing pens are being con- structed at Drake, where it is said fully 100000 sheep will he shorn of their heeces during the month of March. A big flock of the woody fellows are expected at the shearing pens by the 9th of March. The splendid grasses and weeds that are showing up in Sacramento valley is attracting the sheepmen there and it is expected that sev- eral hundred thousand will be brought in during the latter days of this month. The pens at kingman will also be used to shear many thousand sheep, it being probable that machinery will be put in for that purpose.- Kingman Miner.

 PRETTY EVENT

One of the prettiest dangling parties ever given on Gastineau Channel was that at Thane Saturday night when the Black Sheep Club, composed of employees of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company, was host to about one hundred couples from Thane. Perseverance, Juneau, Douglas and Treadwell.
 The dance held sway in the board ing house, which had been attract ively decorated for the occasion, vel low. green and red paper streamers, intertwined, having been festooned from the ceiling. A varied collection of colored lights cast an agreeable glow on the ballroom, and the Peyser- Greenlee orchestra played from lat ticed-bower, located in the center of the ballroom floor.
 Among the Black Sheep club mem bers who served on the committee were Perry Delo. Jake Winslow, D. V. Daveler, Roy Haach, Malcom Will son, W. DeLong, Floyd Jardine, ]. z. Bayless and Robert Wilson.
 The Juneau Ferry & Navigation Company ran special ferries from Ju- neau at S:3O o'clock, which returned after the dance. Many of the guests from Juneau returned by automo- piles.

CAUSE OF SPREAD
 OF TEMPERANCE

FUNTER, Sept 9.-To the Editor: The rapid spread of the temper ance movement throughout the coun- try is most gratifying evidence that Americans are keeping Q strong reign on their appetites. While European countries report an alarming increase in the sale of alcoholic beverages this country's progress in the other direction is most happy. It is not believed that this has come from the 'hhorrible examples" of the drink ha- bit who have posed upon Prohibition platforms. The people have not been enlightened or cajoled into their at- titude, but the temperance movement is simply a manifestation that the new generation of Americans has learned the wisdom of exercising com plete control over their appetites.
 Nor is this control anything like the control exercised by the prize fighter who is Gin training" The fra ternity Of the ring has been held up as shining example. on all occas- ions. for its strict abstemiousness during long weeks of training for fights. But the prize fighter who conforms to such strict rules while in training usually breaks all these rules when the fight is over.
 Nearly every fighter is short-lived, and quickly relinQuishes his cham pionship "honors" owing to the ex- cesses he commits when he is not in training. so their example is worth less.
 It is the man who is temperate in an things all the time who is setting the pace in America. He is the mas ter. not the servant of his appetite. under an conditions. He is not a crank or an idealist, but lives the temperate life because 1t yields him the largest returns It is this type of man that is enabling America to maintain its physical standards and to look upon the future without fear America is the most temperate na- ton in the world today. and the na- ton for whom the future holds the most promise.
