 NEW CHAIRMAN IF
 LIVE STOCK BOARD

At the first meeting of the live
 stock sanitary board. held in several l1weeks, Member Frank P. Moore of Douglas was chosen chairman to suc- ceed the late E. H. Crabb. Governor Campbell had made no announce

 We. the surviving members and of ficers of the Arizona Livestock San itary Board officially and personally would express our heartfelt sorrow over the untimely death of E. H. nearly four years. filled the place of chairman of the board.
 We knew him as real friend. full lof sympathy and of human under standing, and also as a public of ficial who knew his work and who did that work faithfully, energetic cally. inteIligently and in all ways well. We appreciate the vast know I ledge he had of the Arizona livestock l indu6try. kriowledge we drew upon at all times, deferring to his good judg- ment and keen 6iscernment. I In his death the state has lost a servant who hardly can he replaced, but whose good service has done
 much In laying down course of ac- l tton that may guide his successors l for many years to come.
 l We send to his widow every assur- ance of our sympathy in her bereave- ment and our hope that her grief may be tempered by the knowledge that her husband was one who stood high auof6 his fellowmen, that his personal af$.haracter was known as of the best and that his official service was Of distinguished order. It is directed that this resolution be spread upon the permanent re- cords of the Arizona Livestock San- l itray Board and that g copy ba sent 1 to Mrs. Crabb.

 N. c. BERNARD, Member.
 E. W. STEPHENS. l Secretary. DIR. R. J. HIGHT, State Veterinarian. I have asked that be permitted to I join in this testimonial to a friend and faithful public official. THOMAS E. CAMPBELL. 1 Governor 5f Arizona. The rest of the business of the board was mostly routine, for the Iquestion of finances has been such an urgent one at several of the meet l ings of the board. that 1t may be re- | garded as routine. The revenues of the board have almost reached the vanishing point. Its sinews are en- l tfrely Sderived from inspectors fees,
 licenses and the recording fees for brands. The livestock business has l for . long time been n such a sit- uation that fees have been few and, notwithstanding the greater need now for inspectors than ever, it has
 been found necessary to drop them one after another until now there is no field force.
 In the meantime. rustling Is said
 to be on the increase. Conditions have tempted many persons into il who would otherwise not resort to
 such a means of livelihood. It is expected. though, that with the bet
 ter conditions now in prospect in consecuence of the abundance o1 feed, there will be a movement soc T that will result in increased fees. { The livestock sanitary board is cns of the few departments that s self l sustaining. At the time of the |l meeting of the legislature and fe- fore, in consequence of the previous necessity of cutting down t;,e inspec. tors force, it was proposed to asI for an appropriation. But that liar was abandoned.
