c. R. Fillerup, county supervis- or for Navajo and Apache, re- ports that farmers of Linden and St. Johns are stocking up on fine blooded dairy COWS. MT. Filler up also reports that water users of Apache county are measuring out their water for irrigation by the Weir System and it is prov ing successful and satisfactory. This is done by order of the coun- ty judge, the honorable Geo. H. Crosby. Mr. Fillerup says that the Apache water users are the first in northern Arizona to em- ploy this system to measure their water. Snowflake Herald.

The assessor of Apache county has consulted the state tax com mission as to the best way to dis pose of 200 hobo burros which he has penned up. These burros, together with probably 800 other critters of the breed, are making the lives of stockmen miserable in Apache, for they kill calves, cripple sheep-dogs and eat up the range grasses. If the Apache assessor finds a method to dis pose of the burros, we suggest that he communicate his plan to the town marshal of Holbrook. A band of burros make this town their headquarte rs, and they seem to defy the efforts of the marshal to dislodge them. -Hol- brook News.

Annual Tax Conference Called.

The State Tax Commission has called a meeting of the County Assessors, members of Boards of Supervisors and state Tax Com mission to be held in the Court House at Nogales during the week beginning July 23, 1917 at ten o'clock, A. M.
 At this meeting the valuations on all classes of property in the State will be discussed: the ob- ject being to gather information which will aid the State Board in securing a just and equitable equalization. Unusual import ance attaches to the Conference this year in view of the greatly increased valuations anticipated on most classes of property.
 Formerly the Commission has required the attendance of all the Clerks of the Boards of Super visors and ordered that the As sessment Rolls of each county be brought to the meeting, but this year the commission, as an ex- pertinent, is leaving the Clerks and the Rolls at home; thus eIim- mating a considerable expense which, in the past, has been the cause of much criticism.
 Special invitations have been issued to the representatives of nearly every class of property, but the commission extends a general invitation to every tax payer in the State to attend this conference, as the subjects to be discussed will be of vital interest to everyone.
 The Chamber of Commerce and Board of Supervisors of Santa Cruz County are preparing to make the visit memorable to those attending the conference and the Commission anticipates a large attendance.

American Preparation For War At the Presidio in San Francisco.

American Preparation For War At the Presidio in San Francisco.
 Recently, while strolling around the Presidio grounds with my friend, Melvin Buster, of the army Y. M. c. A, 1 was greatly impressed by the stependouS pre- parations there being made to de- velop large, well equipped and efficient army in a very short time.
 The old Fair grounds which last year were still covered with a great number of the exhibition buildings are now being filled with scores of large, well constructed barracks, each roomy enough to house an entire company. Many of the old buildings used during the fair still stand, however, and are being used to help house the eyer increasing army.
 Leaving the hustle of the build ing barracks we were soon on the western side of the grounds over looking the Pacific. Before us lay a long grassy slope covered with hundreds of Khaki clad Ob- iects burrowing in the ground much like a colony of ants. Closer observation disclosed a complete series of trenches under process of construction as though in pre- paration to stand off an attack from some undisclosed but for midable enemy. Close by could be seen a mock battle carried on oy two opposing trenches, both sides using dummy hand grenades which they were learning to throw with great degree of deXterity,
 Not far from the scene of the trench warfare we ran upon an other part of the preparation for battle Here a large level place was filled with long rows of swinging dummies which looked much like the ill-fated victims of some wholesale hanging. An in- teresting though somewhat grue- some spectacle is enacted at this place daily when our soldiers sim ulate a bayonet charge and at tack, learning to stab the swing ing enemy in those parts of the body, indicated by white wire rings, as being most vulnerable
 Everything is hustle hustle wherever one looks. The mer of the ambulance units can be seen on every handcarrying about their supposedly wounded com rades on stretchers or practicine parts of the'First Aid Manual or others who appear to be afflicted with cut off arms or shattered legs. Itis interesting to watcE the men of the field batteries go ing through various antics sucl as leaping on imaginary gun car riages or hastily riming these guns, ha ving nothing more t work with than some woodeI pegs and lively imaginations which makes this training abou as exciting and valuable to then as a correspondence course II swimming, so many of them say

the election of Franz Mehring to the
seat made vacant in the lower house
of the Prussian Diet by the imprison-

TO CELEBRATE

Splendid response from the labor
unions in Everett has assured the In
ternational Labor Day committee Of
q splendid affair. Many unionists are
going to get their wives to make
cakes for the feed and the Butchers
Union is going to supply the ham and
weiners. We expect a big crowd
there, however, so we are going to
ask some of the women members of
the various Socialist locals in the city
to prepare a cake for the occasion.
There will be many offers to sing,
recite and play instrumental music
but the committee want the best. If
you can deliver something good
phone up the Northwest Worker or
Peter HUSKY and tell them what you
can do.

ORGANIZATION
OF GERMAN ANTI
WAR SOCIALISTS
Social Democratic Union of La
Dor Designed to Fight Against
Nationalism and Imperialism
and for Socialism and DemOc-
racV
(By the Socialist News Service)

(By the Socialist News Service)
WASHINGTON-The Social Demo-
cratic Federation of Greater Berlin
recently held an anti-war Socialist
organization meeting in which 800
delegates participated.
Hugo Haase, anti-war Reichstag
Socialist and chief sponsor for the
Social Democratic Union of Labor
which the anti-war Socialists are
using to fight the pro-war majority
of the Social Democratic party,
charged the majority national execu-
tive committee with having provoked
the split in the Socialist party of
Germany by its "policy Of violence
against the opposition"
Haase emphasized the claim that
the anti-war opposition desired to
function within the Social Democratic
party organization in order to abide
by the result of the decisive struggle
between the pro-war and anti-war So
cialists in the coming national con-
gress of the German Socialist party.
"Although in this struggle the
forces are unequally divided, since
the others are in the sunlight and we
are in the shadows, there is no Other
course than to organize narrowly and
solidly all the elements of the opposi-
ton for the fight against nationalism
and imperialism and for Socialism
and democracy"
The Socialist anti-war Reichstag
group consists of about twenty dep
uties headed by Hugo Haase, George
Ledebour and E. Voghter. 1t is sup
ported outside the Reichstag by such
well known leaders of Socialist
thought as Karl Kautslly and Edward
Bernstein.
1t is the Observation-Disclosures
anti-war Reichstag group that has
launched the Social Democratic Unior
Of Labor to cement the anti-war So.
clalists of Germany into a nation.
