BAN ON JOHNSON GRASS

PHOENIX. May 13.--Attorney Gen erai Jones gave out an opinion this morning declaring that the provisions of sections 5s4 to sOI of the penal code of Arizona. 1913, prohibited the ,ransportaing within this state for the purpose of cultivation the plants known as the Johnson grass. E. A. Washburn of the San simon valley owns some lands which had been thoroughly infested with this grass and finding it an excellent feed for hogs he desired to bring under cultivation some three more acres, and therefore had written 10 a seed store in Phoenix and three other stores elsewhere for seeds. They had assured him that there is no law in the state which prohibits the planting of such grass He ordered about 150 pounds of these seeds from an Fl Paso store. but entertaining some doub;. iie laid his problem before the at torney general.
 Attorney General Jones has sent the following letter to the party concern- ed and stated that very few men in the state know that there are such prohibitory clauses in the penal code:
 Answering your letter of the 10th instant. will state that paragraph 594. penal code of Arizona, 1913, prohibits any railroad company, express com pany or other common carrier from accepting for shipment 10 point with ir this state to another within this state. any packages. box. bale or oth- ar consignment Of seeds. roots. root stock. or plants of Johnson grass. un- der penalty of being guilty of a mis- demeanor and being punished there for.
 Paragraph 595 prohibits the sale Of Johnson grass within the state. and paragraph 596 makes it punishable as ] riisdemeanor.
 Eight paragraphs of our penal code. from 594 to 60l inclusive. deal with the subject of Johnson grass and other noxious plants.
 Thus YOU will sec that the lagisla- ture in Arizona is endeavoring to era dicate these objectionable plants with in the state
 Yours very truly.

 Attorney General"

When flame several hundred feet high. A thunder and lightning storm ragged overhead The lightning had probably, revealed the presence Of the gas.
 The sight was viewed by Francis Hartman. Louis Jaeger. Mrs. Iiaege-- and another person. They were in q machine coming in from Oracle. They saw the storm collecting over the mountains, flashing lightning down into the foothills.
 Suddenly the lightning forked and lgnged earthward. lnstanly, in re- sponse 6 plume of flame shot up sev eral hundred feet and burned fiercely anGer great pressure.
 The party watched the flame for |. long while, Presently it began to dim finish and in time sank earthward and vanished.
 None Of the party visited the spot l. is probably open to location.
 This was several years ago." said Mr Hartman. Tuesday night. but l said that night it looked like it was gas. Nothing else would have burned so long and so high and fiercely."

LEGAL CANNONBAlLS
 APPEAR IN BATTLE
 OF COLONEL HARRIS

PHOENIX. May 13.-Just what are zona" between the governor and the adjutant general. Charles w Harris. is a matter of some doubt.
 It is reported that dray backed up to the office of the adjutant yesterday and went away loaded with something taken from that office. but what 1t was is not known.
 Spencer B. Pugh. attorney for Col. Harris. yesterday filed a brief in the now famous case in Judge Lyman's court, where Harris seeks an injunc. ton to prevent the governor from in terfering with his administration of the office of adjutant general. and Judge Sloan and Judge Ryan, attor. neys for Governor Campbell are argu. ing against the issuance of the re. straining order.
 Pugh's brief is about IA pages in length and discusses the matter from a myriad of angles His chief contention seems to be that Col. Harris is a civil officer. bu; that he is not appointed by the gover nor and cannot be removed by the ex ecutive.
 An answer will probably be filed by the governors attorneys in a few days.

CAPTIVE BOOZE DUMPED
 ON rouohNur STREET AS

THihSIr ONeS WHEY -one hundred and twenty thousand dellars worth Of bootleg whiskey dumped into Toushnut Street in Tombstone" would make . queer locking headline in the East but such is the truth. for late this af- ternoon. acting under an order of Judge 4. C. Lockwood. of the Su- perior Court. Chief Deputy Sheriff Geo. henshaw and a half doxen deputies started in to destroy 1000 gallons of ~hiskey.
 The eontraband has been held in the county jai, for over year. dat ing back to the administration of Sheriff Wheeler. through that of Sheriff Weleh, with the expectation flat the Red Gross or the War De- partment would accept it to be used for the alcohol that could be ex- traeted therefrom.
 Sheriff Weleh. before he went out of office, had the whiskey, which was bottled goods. dumped into barrels. and when the arduous task was completed there were just 2s bar r.ls. or approximately 1000 gallons Of the stuff ready for shipment. n was to have been shipped to Phoe- nix to the United States Marshal there. under guard. to be then for warded on to Washington. together with several other earolads from other parts Of the state. But the order to ship never arrived. for the war ended in November. and it has been held in the jail here ever since. with the expectation that the Red Cross or some other department of the government would accept it in order that it would not represent a total waste.
 Sheriff James Mcdonald. before heieft for the East last week. re- quested Judge Lockwood to issue an order allowing him to destroy the lieuor. should it appear that it would rot te accepted sy the :ey. ernment. This afternoon the court. seeing that no action had been talk. en to accept the booze. issued the order and the work of destruetior began.
 Four 25 gallon barrels were i'm meoiateiy rolled out Of the jail this afternoon by Chief Deputy Henshaw and his assistants and dumped into the street. causing a veritabIe flood and many mouths to water as the precious fluid triekIed down the thoroushfare. the odor permeating the air of the whole city and a large crowd was drawn to the scene by the smeli. And a heart broken aggregation it was!
 Besides the 1000 gallons of whis- key to be destroyed, there are at least fifteen barrels of beer in the county jail, that will go the same route, while in Lowell there are stored in the branch r--nIy iail 20 .a..S.s CT wine, which will be dumred into the subway. Instruc- lions for this have been given by the Sheriff's office.
 Al bootleg prices, the wine is  worth $500 per gallon, while beer used to sell for s1.oo a pint bottle. The wine represents 2.oo0 gallons at S5.co a gallon. or s10.oo0. while the beer. 120 bottles to the barrel, or 1900 bottles at S1.0o, which is $1s0o.
 The total valuation of the liquor to be destroyed will reach over $751;. 600 at retail bootleg prices. Even at wholesale pre-booties prices it represents a soodiy sum.
 fhe job of destroying the whis- key and beer stored in jail here will be finished tomorrow by the sheriff's force.

GOOD BLOOD ASSISTED DAIRY
Good Dairy Bull, Purchased as Calf
for 500, Put at Head of Herd
Is Good Investment.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A good dairy bull, purchased by a
Montana county farm bureau mem
Der, cost 500 as a calf; it was put at
the head of a herd of ten cows, the
average annual production of which
was 1880 pounds of milk and 260
pounds of butterfat. The daughters
of the bull have now replaced the old
cows in the herd and exceed the pro-
duction of their dams by an average
of 102 pounds butterfat and 1,S2S
pounds of milk per year. This i'm
provement nets $500 profit each year
without taking into account the diff
ference in value of the calves A cow
should "carry on" for at least six
years, which would mean S1,S00 addi-
tional profit from the ten cows, because
of the 500 invested in the bull calf.
at was bully good investment"
says the farmer.
