A gunner of the Garrison artillery
who had successfully passed an armor

wearing the usual decoration of the
hammer and pincers on his right
sleeve, when he was accosted by

CONSISTENCY,

The Great Northern railroad has an.
nounced its intention of enforcing to-
tai abstinence among its employees,
Even to take glass of beer, If detect
cd, means dismissal. Because of the
protest of the liquor interests against
the employees of the road taking any
part in local prohibition campaigns,
or in urging temperance measures, Su-
perintendent McKennon has issued a
bulletin stating this fact and forbid
ding the men to take any part in such
movements. The employees are for
hidden to drink, yet they are not per.
mitted to make any effort to have the
temptation to drink removed from
their home towns.

TRANSFER OF GOOD WILL"

The number OF for sale" advertise.
ments in the liquor journals at the
present time is noticeable and signifi-
cant. One headed Exceptional op-
portunity" states that an "old, estab.
lished, active whisky house contem-
plates retiring from business January
l next" The date is well chosen, for
II is a popular and fashionable time
for retiring from the liquor business.
The liquor dealers of Washington,
Oregon, Colorado, Idaho, Arkansas
and Iowa are indulging in the same
kind Of contemplation as Exceptional
Opportunity" spurred on, to be sure,
by the action of their respective legis-
latures and the voters of their states.
Exceptional Opportunity" however,
has the advantage Of them, for he
offers for sale with the whisky estab-
lishment, its valuable good will" A
bargain in good will, to be sold at re-
duced rates, to the highest bidder,
but, mind you, not the good will Of
the men who have been ruined by
the poison manufactured by this whis-
ky house; not the good will of the
wives and children of the men who
drank away their health and intellect
and character; not the good will of the
taxpayers who have been burdened
with the care Of the product Of the
whisky house. No, all the wealth of
the world could not purchase the
good will" of these unwilling parties

transfer Of property shall be made-a
transfer that makes possible the con-
tinuation OF business in the train Of
which follow unspeakable woe and
want for thousands-Union Signal.

the declaration that the events Of
the last 12 months have created a
situation more grave than has ever
before confronted our trade. For

must combat state and nationwide

GUARDS ARE PAID
 WITH CERTIFICATES

PHOENIX, Sept. 2-The new cer- tificates issued by State Auditor J. C.. Callaghan in payment of claims pre- scntcd by members Of the national guard, were out and circulating yes terday.
 Following the muddle in which the appropriation bill has been sadly mixed, the auditor refused to honor claims made by the guard, but very graciously consented to issue the cer- :ificates, acknowledging the States indebtedness to the holders.
 So far yesterday, no bank, business house or individual had been found who would honor the certificates and cash them. Consequently the local holders, vii! perforce await until the proper status of the appropriation bill is ascertained, or the legislature meets and votes more funds for the guard.
 The holders at Morenci have found a happy solution of their dilemma in that Colonel Tuthill, commander of the first regiment, is taking up the certificates and cashing them as fast as they are presented. At Tucson a business house is accommodating the holders in a like manner.

EXPECT RACES TO BE

(From Fridays Daily.)

That the Northern Arizona Fair will have one of the best horse race meets ever held in the northern part of the State is the confident expec- .ation of C. w. Pardee, who is in charge of that end of the amusement program. It is expected that some of the best racing horses on the turf between Kansas City and the coast will participate, besides numerous side races for big purses between horses owned by men interested in the racing game. Pardee is busy lin ing up racing men all over the South west, and the purses for the different events, that amount to about $2,300, are proving very attractive.

Ross Jordan, of Yuma, has signified his intention of entering at least three horses in the races, and Ken Maxwell, of Wins low, is to enter "Miss Princess" :" Vanity Fair" and "Ticktack." H. Cooper, of Roosevelt, will enter 2 string of relay horses and will also enter Revenue" in the free-for-all race. One of the side races, nego .iations for which have been complet- ,d, is that between Revenue and "Arco," the latter owned by Bob Shultz. If plans are carried out for this event a side purse of $500 be- tween Shultz and Cooper will be at stake Shultz has also gone to Will cox to match "Pancho" with "Pos- 5um"

PROMOTER MINE
 MAKES FINE SHOWING
(From Fridays Daily.)

C. E. Warren, associated with R. F. Peters in developing the Promoter group Of gold mines in Crook can yon, was an arrival yesterday to pur- chase five-stamp mill, which move ment, he stated, is warranted from the tonnage on the dump as well as the values contained.
 Mir. Warren says the main tunnel has reached 165 feet, and in the face is exposed three-foot vein, all of which is free milling At one point in this development, a zone was cut into from which $700 was given, in two days Of work.
 That the property has passed the stage of being booNed for its future possibilities in seeking capital to be- come interested he said: "Mr. Peters and myself do not desire and will not entertain negotiations of a sale. We have entered into this pact for the reason that we do not desire the property to be tied down under existing conditions, and furthermore, it is absolutely our firm belief that with mill on the ground the mine will pay handsomely from the start off of the plant. A few miners will be hired and we will handle the mine and the mill"

sweeping power that is given to health inspectors in some of our own
 States.
 "The code of mining rules that has been finally drafted by the commit tee is the coordination of the expert ences, opinions, and suggestions of great many men who have assisted the committee in an advisory capacity and as directly employed aids. The former have included many engineers actively engaged in practice, mem bers of professional societies, and members of the bar; the latter have included members of the regular staff of the Bureau of Mines and the per sonal staffs of members of the com mittee. The committee has sought to obtain many points of view and to summarize many experiences. The draft that has been prepared is not offered as the last word upon this subject. There are many phases of this subject with which the commit tee has been unable to deal thorough ly. Thus the committee confesses its inability to formulate at the pres ent time adequate rules covering the important subject of ventilation of mines. Similarly there are many prac- A. shovels, etc, regarding which the committee has felt unable to formu late rules. We feel, however, that the rules so far as prescribed may ad- vantagcously be applied to open min ing whether it be simple quarrying or the extraction of metalliferous mineral, as well as to underground mining"

Most every county this year ShoWs m increase in the rate, some, slight increase, such as Cochise, which was only 3H cents over last year, while others show a much larger increase over last year.
 The increase of all the counties is claimed to be due to the falling off of the saloon licenses since the first of the year, as was the case in Co -hise, while in Mohave, the increase was due to the reduction in mine as 5essment by the State Tax Commis sion, amounting to several hundred thousand dollars.
 Last year Cochise had the lowest rate with 94 cents, State and county rate, and the highest valuation; this year she still retains her position, heading the list with the highest val nation and the lowest rate.

INFORMATION FOR
 WHITE WING HUNTERS
(From Fridays DaHy.)

Some question having arisen as to whether white wings are included in the 5 limit placed on the shooting of doves in a single day, State Game Warden G. M. Willard asked Attor- ney General Jones for an opinion on the question. The reply of the attorney general is very emphatic on the question, that only s of these birds may be shot by hunter on the same day. The opinion reads:
 "The language of the statute ap- pears to plainly lump or throw the whitewings and doves together, so that even if they are a different spe- cies of birds, that 35 would be the limit applied to both species taken together.
 However, I find that the Century dictionary, ten-volume edition, in volume 8, page 6913, contains the fol lowing; White winged doves-a pig con found in the southwesterly part of the United States with a broad oblique wingbar'-so it seems that there is no doubt or perplexity what ever arising in the matter.

HALF TAXES DUE
 BEFORE FIRST OF NOV.
(From Fridav's Dailv.l

 The attention of taxpayers is di- rected to the fact that under the new semi-annual tax law, one-half of all taxes will be due and payable on the first Monday in September, and will be delinquent on the first Mon day in November next, thereafter, at , o'clock D. m., and unless paid prior thereto, per cent will be added as penalty, with interest from the time of delinquency, at 10 per cent per annum until paid The remaining half of taxes will be due and pay able on the first Monday in March next, and will be delinquent on the first Monday in May next, thereafter, at o'clock D. m., and if not paid the same penalty and interest will lie.
 This means one-half of your taxes must be paid on or before the first Monday in November, 1915. The balance, or the other half, need not be paid until the first Monday in May, 1916.
 The old law required all taxes to be paid before the second Monday in December. The new law makes the first half payable a little over a month sooner, but extends the sec ond half six months.
