unopposed nominee for re- cleo
ton with part of his term uu,
expired. The Parish Executive

an unopposed nominee for MS
office with a part of his term un'
expired. Last Monday the Par
ish Executive Committee nomlna-
ted Walter Galatis, who had been
chief duputy under Sheriff Brew
ster for eighteen years
But aside from the peculiarities
of these happenings, the most re-
markable fact is the nomination
of Mr. Galatas by acclama'ion,
there having not been a dissenting
voice. In the meantime under the
law Coroner Bulloch became act.
ing sheriff and Mr.. Galatas was
sworn in as chief deputy. In a
day or so Mr.. Galatas received
his appointment by Governor
Pleasant as sheriff for the unex-
PRED term, In the meantime
Sheriff Bulloch had drawn up pa
pers as Coroner addressed to him
self as sheriff, in due course of
legal procedure.
The nomination was made by
the members of the new Parish
Fxcutive Committee on motion OF
Judge Thomas M. Burns.
The committee at this meeting
proceeded to elect delegates to
the State Convention which will
elect delegates to the National
| Convention which meets in San

Permits Required For Booze
Orders.

Physicians and druggists are
warned that, after March 81, no
physician may write a prescrip.
ton for liquor, or for any concoc.
ton containing alcohol, without
a permit from the government,
and no druggist may fill a pre-.
scription unless the doctor utter
ing it has permit and the pre-
scription is written on the regu.
lar forms provided by the pre-
scription director.
"a doctor in order to obtain a
permit" said Jess Johnson, pro-
hibition director for Louisiana,
Friday, "must be registered up
to date with the State Board of
Medical Examiners. Unless a
physician has the endorsement Of
that body it is useless for him to
apply for a permit. The permits
and instance on and after the
first Of the month or | shall be
compelled to take action against
those who ignore the law"
In referring to the attitude as
sumed recently by candidate
for the United States Senate in
reference to the liquor question.
Mr., johnson said the candidate,
while asserting that the minority
had forced their will on prohibi.
ton on the majority, he had very
wisely refrained from a discussion
of how the prohibitory law was
adopted.
"Forty-two states ratified the
amendment" said Mr.. Johnson
"and forty.two states seems to be
a healthy minority, to say the
least. | am of the opinion that
all of the opposition to the prohi

Week after week you've felt

First Ward Vats Dynamited.

The First Ward is suffering at
the hands of outlaws who destroy.
ed three dipping watts last week,
the McDougall vat, Reed vat and
the German vat, and later it was
reported that the White vat had
also been blown up tho this is not
fully authentic. This is a lament
able state of affairs and deeply
deplored by the residents Of the
First Ward, even those who may
not want TO dip cattle under ex-
isting regulations regretting the
occurrence as it will impose the
added hardship of driving their
cattle long distances to dip in com.
pliancei with the law.

ping is SO nearly out and it would
seem almost out of the question
to reconstruct the yats at these
convenient points.

THE CATTLE ITCH.

According to Dr. J. P. Jacks, Extension Veterinarian of the Bureau of Animal Industry, stockmen of Arizona should be on the lookout in their herds for herorrhagic septicemia, also call ed mad itch," and immediately upon it's appearance in the neigh borhood innoculate all animals with a preventive vaccine which has been developed. This vac cine may be secured through the office of Dr. R. J. Flight, State Veterinarian at Phoenix. G. l.. Harris of the Salt River Valley has just lost 13 head of cattle from this malady. Both beef and milk animals were effected and the latter animals seemed most susceptible. The symp- toms are intense itching of the animals causing them to scratch against wire fences and sharp sticks to the point of serious in- jury to themselves. Soldering of the animals is g symptom at tending the disease. It is disease of the blood and responds to vaccination.
 The office of the State Veteri- marian should be notified if any outbreak is suspected.

WHY CHILDREN EAT CANDY.

A perfectly balanced food ration for a growing child is a problem that science has not yet determined.
 There is one substitute uni versally sought by children to supplement the demands of 8 growing physique.
 It is confectionery in the many forms of good value in which it is now manufactured and sold.
 Imperfectly baked bread, lack of proteins or calories to sustain vitality result in cravings.
 These cravings are all met by candies having nuts, dairy pro. ducts, fruits, and chocolates in them.
 It is scientific fact at the basis of the demand for confec- tionery that sugar supplies the needed stimulus to growing children.

THE BLUE NOSE.

The Blue Nose mine at Har- shaw which was bought some time ago by the Layman Syndi- cate has been worked by that organization up to the present time. The company, however, has been reorganized and is now known as the Arizona Patagonia Silver Mining Go. The company is composed of not only men of capital but progressive, prac- tical men who know the mining game thoroughly and they are doing business on large scale and in a business way.
 A large number of new houses have been built at the mine for the accommodation of the man. agement and employees and a mill is to be put up at once.
 The Blue Nose is one of the richest silver mines in the State. -Patagonian.

OLD TIMER TO RETURN.

The old Plomosa mine at Har- shaw is to return to it's old time activity. The property is owned by gentleman in Pennsylvania, but Col. R. R. Richardson has a bond on it and it is very prob able that parties now looking the property over will take it over at once. It is a horn silver proposition and perhaps the only real horn silver mine in Arizona.
 The Plomosa has an interest ing history. It was located about the time the rich mines in Tomb stone were discovered and the excitement at Harshaw over the discovery was co-extensive with that in Tombstone over the big strike there. The mine has pro duced more than $2,OOO.OOO in silver and is considered by prac- tical miners as still being very rich.-Patagonian.

ON THE RANGES.

Unusually favorable weather for live stock of all kinds pre- vailed during the week, accord ing to reports to the weather bureau. Outside of a few warm. light showers that did much to remove snow from lower altitu- des, there was no precipitation. Photographic reports from reg ular cattle region stations indi- cate the departure of snow from all ranges except in the vicinity of Grand Canyon where two inches remain on the ground. Only patches were reported in the vicinity of Flagstaff. Both cattle and sheep are reported in good condition in the north cen- tral counties where feed and water are plentiful. Some shrink age of stock is reported on the northeastern pleateau, owing doubtless to the wheather, but the range continues good. Owing to increased cultivation some what less than the usual number of cattle are being fattened in the Salt River valley. Their feed consists mainly of silage and cotton by products. Lamb ing is progressing favorably in the desert sections, abundance of feed and the good condition of ewes being largely account able for unusually small losses.

 Tuesday Pierce and Gardner shipped two carloads of ore from the Black Eagle mine.
 R. R. Barnes and J. c. Climo are here from California looking over the Hermosa mine and are we'll pleased with the showing.

 Col. Richardson received an other shipment of fruit trees this week which he will set out on his farm On the east side of town.
 Bethell and Wilson are load ing a carload of ore from the California mine for shipment to the smelter. The car will con tain 42 tons.
 John Wilson of Nogales, went out to the Wieland camp Wed nesday to look after affairs at the mine. being interested with Mr. Wieland in the property.
 Mining activities are becoming so lively that it behooves the ordinary layman to be careful in crossing the streets to escape being run oyer by high water shoes. During the day most of these high water creations are out in the hills but at evening they predominate in town.
 It is said that R. R. Mason. of Pittsburgh, Pa, who some time ago took over the Royal Blue mine located on the Baca Float grant below Tubac, is putting up concentrating plant with 8 capacity for about 50 tons day. It is his plan to supply about half that capacity from the Royal Blue mine and supply the remainder from custom ores from the different mines in con tiguous territory. Chief among these will be the Bland and Jefferson. The latter alone will supply 20 tons 8 day. Ore from this mine that runs $6O to $7O is now being shipped from Pata gonia.
 Louis Rang and his brother, Wo Ben, who have small gro cery store in Patagonia, have 'struck it rich," to use familiar mining term. For about five years they have owned the Bonnie Carrie property situated l15OO feet from the famous Worlds Fair mine. They have worked it in a modest way stead lily and some time ago struck good ore. No excitement was ] created, however, until last Sun day when they struck an inn mense body of rich silver ore and since that time visitors to | the Bonnie Carrie have been numerous. Those wbo ought to know say that the mine will prove rich one.
 A. F. Gross, who has an option on the American Boy and the Deep Down mines, the former owned by Mir. Peterson and the estate of the late Geo. Clark and the latter by John Costello, re turned Friday evening from. a trip to his home at Duluth Minn. MT. Gross and his asso ciates have resumed work on the mines-which have been shut down since the first of the year and will prosecute development as rapidly as men and money can do so. It is the inten tion to sink on the line between the two mines to depth of at least SOC feet and if not satisfied to sink
 to 1000 feet. They have plenty of ca pital and MT. Gross is con 6dent that still greater output can be secured and that even
 more extensive bodies of ore will
 be found.
