and there is nothing like purebreds."
Harry Skrivan who has a registered

Bjorge of Culbertson says, "a
registered sire is a good investment
and gives you better CATTLE, easier to
keep, they sell better, bringing bet
ter prices and well-bred milking
Shorthorns give more milk"
With such opinions in the vast ma
jority farmer with a scrub bull
will be thing of the past in a year
or two and every breeder of livestock
in Roosevelt county will be on the
right track. All credit is due to the
pioneer breeder and the high class of
stock they have built up and distri-
buted in this territory.

Inter er-Mountain Freight Rates: Local Mines

was had last March. That pro-
posed enactment will be intro
duced in the new Congress assem-
bling today, and every effort will
be made by the "Inter- Mountain
Association" to secure its enact
D1ent. Now there is another appli-
cation to combat before the Inter-
State Commerce Commission to
restore the unjust discrimination.
"To make these fights the "In-
ter-Mountain Association" needs
funds. When the fund now ex-
hausted was subscribed Nogales
contributed $4,000. There is
nt doubt that this city's CONNER
cial interests will contribute their

Mr.. Johnson, rate expert for
the Arizona Corporation Conlrn;s-
sion, and j. F. Barker, (the lat
ter Phoenix merchant, member
of the nter-Mountain Association)
were introduced and made short
speeches..
In presenting the next speaker,
Howard Davis, an eminent geolo-
gist who is acquiring the Chief
Mine, near Patagonia, Chairman
Gustetter recalled the assertion of
Dean Butler Of the School Of
Mines, University of Arizona, at.
a meeting of this Chamber of
Commerce in March last, that
"Santa Cruz County has mineral
resources that with capital and
development will make at least
eight great mining industries" A
short synopsis of Mr.. Davis ad-
dress is presented:
"Mr. Chairman: Mark Twain

harm to legitimate mining indus
try, without protecting those who
are willing dupes to illegitimate.

schemes to offer. Mark asserted
that ga mine is a hole in the
ground owned by liar" Legiti-
mate investment of money has
been kept out of good. fair, honest
mining venture by that cruel as
sertion. But in spite Of it the
mining industry has progressed.

have been enacted to curb and
clip willy and dishonest promoters

One of the most interesting
meetings ever held by the Nogales
Chamber of Commerce was at
ktendesd largely by members of
that commercial body, Monday
evening, in the auditorium at the
City Hall. The assemblage was
addressed by Hon. Amos Belts Of
the Arizona Corporation Commits
sion, upon vital matters pertain
ing to freight rates; and by How
ard Davis, a noted geologist, who
spoke upon mineral possib l;ties
within Santa Cruz county. There
were several others.

of the Chamber of Commerce,

ner, introducing the speakers fell
citously and gracefully. Secre-
tary j. B. Bristol, who had ar
ranged details, Of the occasion, was
in attendance.
First Corporation Commissioner
Belts was introduced. Following
is an accurate synopsis of his re-
marks:
Through many years Arizona
and the entire inter-mountain area
as it is called, was subjected to
drastic and unnecessary discri-
limitations IN freight rates from
Eastern points. That area in
cludes the states OF Arizona,
Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and the
eastern parts of California, Wash
ington and Oregon. The discri-
mination was that all freight rates
to all points in that vast region
were based upon through rates to
Pacific Coast points, with the To-
cal rate back added. The discri-
mination was the addition of the
local rate back. Away back in
the early history of transconti-
mental railroading, when there
was only one railway across the
continent. Nevada freight was
hauled right by the doors of con-
signees to San Francisco, then
back to Reno, or other points.
In vain did consignees plead to be
permitted to pay both charges,
and unload their merchandise;
but the Central Pacific was OBJ
durate. They asserted that East

Chairman Gustetter then said:

Chairman Gustetter then said:
"Some. of our own people have
put together a great aggregation
of mining properties close to No
gales, and they have set about
testing the assertion of Dean But
Ter. They propose to go deep with
faith they will find there the
cream predicted by Mr.. Davis.
The Chamber would like to hear
from Col. Allen T. Bird, presi-
dent of "The Kino Copper Com
pany" with an account of what
that company has done and is do
ing, and projects doing" Col.
Bird spoke, in part, as follows:
"Mr. Chairman: When COM
menced riding about these sur
rounding mountains, thirty years
ago, writing descriptions of the
mines then in operation, . those
that had been operated, and pros.
poets that have developed inAn
mines, was criticised from time
to time for publishing such stuff.
Whenever I inquired wy not the
answer was that 'trese mines

ern railways insisted upon the
haul being made both ways, and
were it unloaded as wanted the
Eastern roads would cancel the
rate given and compel local rates
over every railway carrying the
goods. Many years later, when
there were several transcontinental
railways the method was modi-
fled; freight was delivered at in
termountain points Of des-
tination, but the through
rate was apple with
local rate back added. This rank
injustice was decided discrimin-
alton against inter-mountain
points, favoring Pacific Coast ter
minals. Wholesalers and jobbers
at Pacific terminals had an ad-
vantage over inter-mountain ter
ninals by that very local back
rate. Moreover, it was a charge for
service not rendered. Railroads
were paid for several hundred
miles service they had not per-
formed. And it was an incubus
upon development in those states.
"a number of years ago inter-
|state-mountain corporation COM
missions and business men or
ganized the ''Inter-Mountain
Freight Association" to combat
that rank injustice. Frequent
meetings were held, funds raised,
and representatives of the Asso-
citation were sent to washington
to lay before the Interstate
Commerce Commission this great
grievance and ask relief. About
time the World War ended the
Interstate Commission granted
an order prohibiting greater
charge for a short haul than for
longer one. That eliminated
the charge of the local rate back,
and quickened trade right away
in the inter-mountain region. Re-
moval of discrimination has help
ed wonderfully recent development
in Arizona.
"But the railways have been MAX
ing every effort to have the dis
elimination restored. Every few
months the "Inter- Mountain Asso-
ciat;on" has to send representa-
tives to Washington to oppose an
application for such restoration
and have been successful SO far.
"To end this continual combat
there was drawn a bill prohibiting
a greater charge for short haul
than a longer one. and it was in
troduced in the Senate by Sena-
tor Gooding if Idaho. The "Inter-
Mountain Association" got behind
the bill and used every effort to
secure it's enactment, which was
accomplished in the upper house.
In due course that bill went to
the House shortly before expira-
ton Of the last Congress, was re-
ferred to the appropriate commit
tee, and there it laid without ac-
ton when adjournment sine die

Judge w. HI. Fisher
Presiding Over
Cumberland Court

Judge William II. Fisher Of the
kennebec Superior Court, went 10
Portland. Tuesday morning to pre-
side ,at the opening of the March
term of the Cumberland Superior
Court. which was convened at 1C
o'clock yesterday morning. Judge
Fishers assignment to the Cumber-
land court was occasioned by the
failure of Governor Brewster to re-
appoint Judge Lauren M. Sanborn
or to name his successor, which
leaves that court temporarily with
out judge. Judge Sanborn COM
pleted the seven years of his term
on the Cumberland Superior Court
bench last Saturday.
The close of Judge Sanborn's ap-
pointive term leaves the Superior
Court temporarily without a messen-
ger as both Messenger Edwin f.
Hillman and Stenographer Edward
1. Richardson are judges appoin-
tees. AS the court cannot function
without these two officials the u.s.
sumption is that a special appoint
ment will be made by Judge Fisher
to meet the contingency, and that
the two will continue in Office until
another judge is ramed.
AS the Superior Court Jury does
not come in until March 10 it is as
sumed that Judge Fisher will de-
vote the current week to the hear
ing of divorces of which there &C
