HIGHER TAX ID BE PUT
 ON CATTLE IN ARIZONA

PHOENIX. May 26-Cattle of ali kinds will probably be valued higher than ever before in irIzona for pur- poses of taxatIon. The tax con1 mission- CTS are now considering figures they have received from various sources. and when they sit as board of equal ization probably will raise the valua- ton several dollars a head over iast year.
 In 1914 range cattle were assessed at SPA head and beef cattle at $50. At their annual meeting the county asses sors agreed 10 raise range stock to s25.
 According to Tax Commissio Thomas E. Campbell range cattle in northern Arizona are bringing s32 head, therefor he thinks an assessed valuation of S26 or s21 would not be too high

MORE REGARDING
 DOVE AND WHITE WINGS

There seems to be considerable doubt and controversy SpriugiRs mp in vari- ous localities as 10 whether or not there Is any law protecting the dove and whitewing during their nesting season, and 10 set all doubt al rest, State Game Warden C. NJ Willard has written to the chief and assistant of the bureau Of biological survey. and the following is the reply
 WashingtonC. D. May 20. 1915. Hon. C.. NJ. Willard,
 State Game Warden,
 Phoenix. Arizona. Dear Sir:
 Your letters 10 Mir Henshaw, chief of the bureau. and myself in regard to the protection oi white winged doves in Arizona have been received. Under the federal migratory bird law. as you will notice by referring to it, the Col umbidae. including the doves and wild pigeons, are classed as migratory game birds. but in the regulations no provi sions are made specifically mentioning the white-wing or mourning dove. The latter bird is resident through a number of the states along our south ern border, but migrant in some of the northern ones The white winged dove IS partly resident and migratory in parts of Arzona, but the federal re- sulations make no specific regulation protecting it. and fir om the fact that so many of these birds are resident throughout the year in your territory it probably would be extremely diff cult to get any convictions for killing these birds under the federal law Howe yer. as doves are included among the migratory birds and as the govern nent proposes to enforce the msgra- tory bird law, it would be well for people to protect all of the species coming under this category.
 agree with you that it is most unfortunate thing that white winged doves should be killed during the breeding season and certainly some effort should be made to protect them at that time. You have our th orough sympathy in your praiseworthy desire to conserve these birds and I trust that your efforts may sec ure some abatement of their persecution.
 Regretung that we can not be of
