REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE MEET
 ON JANUARY l9

Wilfred T. Webb, leading busi- ness man of Graham county, was named as federal prohibition director for Arizona, according to an Associ- ated Press dispatch from Washington. MT. Webb resides at Pima in Graham county.
 The duties of the federal prohibit tion director are to cooperate with state, county and municipal officials in enforcing the law. The state director will deal exclusively with the good citizen and the potentially good citi- zen. He will organize public opinion through the medium of civic, religious, fraternal and commercial organiza- tions. He will be an apostle not so much of prohibition as of law en- forcement. To him will fall the task of administering the permissive fea- lures of the law, such as the manu- facture and sale of near-beer, the use of non-beverage alcohol, use of liquors for sacramental and medicinal purpos- es and the assessment of taxes, etc. Each director will have corps of as- sistants to be known as federal pro- hibition inspectors, who will determ- inc for the director the condition ex- isting in every part of the state.
 Constitutional prohibition becomes effective on Jan. 16.

business in the northern part of the state. To understand just what is at stake, it is only necessary to state that over twenty thousand head of cattle and twenty thousand head of sheep are dependent on public do- main range in the winter in that terri tory extending between Ash Fork and Williams on the south and the Grand Canyon on the north. If this range passes to private ownership, this live stock will be sacrificed.
 One very prominent cattleman from Coconino county said: q have every thing to gain and nothing to lose by throwing my unqualified support to the associations fight. We are in it to the end. If I do not enter the fight, I will be forced out of business in less than two years time. I figure that by means of this organized fight l have better than an even break to continue in the cattle business. This proposed Hand grab" is absolutely the worst proposition I have yet encount- cred during the past fifteen years"
 In order to get in touch with possi- ble new members the association has opened an office, with Ben T. Sweet wood as secretary, at Williams.

GENTLEMEN TO CARRY
 FIGHT ON UP

Members of the Southwestern Cat tie Growers association of Santa Cruz and Pima counties who allege that they are being forced out of business through the grazing rules and regula- tions of the United States Forestry service, intend taking up their griev- anees with their senators and repre- sentatives in Washington.
 It is alleged by the cattle raisers that the rules for grazing on forest reserves are made by men who are in. experienced and have no knowledge of range conditions or the carrying capacity of the ranges under their charge. It is also alleged by the cat tlemen that the fee for grazing and punishment imposed for trespassing on, forest reserves are entirely too se- were.
 Several prominent cattlemen held a conference in Nogales recently at which it was decided to send com mittee to Washington to take'up their fight through their state representa- tives at the capital.-Arizona Cattle man.

LUMBER COMES HIGH
 AS STOLEN FUEL

That lumber comes high when it is used as fuel, was admitted by twen- ty-four of the forty-eight Mexicans who, two weeks ago lifted" the barn of the Jerome Transfer company when they assembled in Judge Hughes court to pay the amount for which they were assessed by Charles Hughes, owner of the barn. The original assessment per capita had been ar ranged and was $11.46, making a total of $550, which, with the return of what lumber was not damaged. Hughes said he would be satisfied to accept as damages, although his barn, erected only last year, had cost him, for lumber alone, just $23O0.
 Instead of paying only $11.46 for their share of the steal, the twenty four men and women who appeared before Judge Hughes were compelled to pay not only their share but that of the missing half of the deputation, or $22.92 each.

LIKED THE BOOK BUT

A pleasant appearing gentleman called at the Bailey & Bailey bakery and confectionery store near the Daily Silver Belt office in Miami one day last week for the purpose of making certain inquiries about the town and vicinity. During the course of the conversation with Mrs. Bailey the visitor noticed a volume of "The Last Trail" lying on the counter. "How do you like it?" inquired the visitor. "Just fine," replied Mrs. Mettie Bailey, "did you ever read it 2" she continued. "I wrote it," replied the visitor, "and have just been to Payson gathering material for an- other book"
