RAILROAD CHANGE WILL
 LEAVE PRESCOTT ON ROUTE

Fear that Prescott might be left on side line by the elimination of the Iron Springs grade on the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railway has been stilled by information that the Pres colt railroad shops are to be enlarged and that much new yard room is to be provided. Several new hill-climb- ing locomotives have been put into use. There has been reduction of the shop forces, but married men and ex- service men have been retained and the latter are to have preference on new employment.

STATE IS TO DEFEND
 MANDAMUS ACTION
 ON RAILROAD BONDS

PHOENIX.-The opening of a de- termined fight on behalf of the state to defend Jesse L. Boyce, state audi tor, and Harry s. Ross, state treas urer, in the mandamus proceedings brought by the counties of Pima, Mar icopa, Yavapai and Coconino, started at Phoenix last Saturday. The case Tn question involves nearly $2,000, ,000 in bonds and accrued interest incurred by these counties in the issuance of bonds in the early days for the con- struction by the Missouri Pacific rail road of line between Tucson and Ash Fork via Phoenix.
 The plaintiff counties are attempt ing to compel the auditor to allow the claims and give them credit for the accrued interest on the bonds as fol- lows: Pima, $2O4 ,124.55; Yavapai, $270, 0,S38.78; Coconino, $175,232.62; Maricopa, $326,217.80. If these claims are allowed taxes in the four counties would be materially decreased.
 According to the complaint, the bonds were issued by the counties un- der act No. 35 of the twelfth terri torial legislature. Pima was required to issue $200,000 of the bonds, Yavapai S292 ,OOO, and Maricopa $200,000. Lat CT Coconino county was carved out of Yavapai and one-third of the bond is- sue was apportioned to Coconino.
 Through some error the bonds after they had been issued by the counties between 1883 and 1887 were turned over to the railroad company, which in turn sold the bonds to a third party and the road was never built. Later the United States supreme court de- clared the bonds void, but congress by an act validated the bonds to pro- tect the innocent party and in the en- abling act 100000 acres was given to the state, the land to be sold by the state and the proceeds given to the counties, refunding the bond issue and the accrued interest.
 This money for some reason best known to the auditor has never been distributed to the counties, but has been held in the state treasury.
 It has been suggested by some that the legislature and not the courts should be called upon to settle the sit uation.
 C. B. Wilson, of Flagstaff, has been retained as associate counsel for the counties and is being assisted by County Attorneys F. M. Gold, of Flag staff; E. S. Clark, of Prescott; Kirk T. Moore, of Pima, and L. M. Laney, of Maricopa.
 Judge W. L. Barnum has been re- tained as the states special represen- tative by Wiley F. Jones, attorney general.
