A year ago there was on hand in the game protection fund, $90,000; now thero is but $39,000. The total receipts for game protection for tho first six months of 1913 was $51,000, and the expenditures, $73,000. School Fund Total., The common school irreducible fund now amounts to $6,400,000, a gain in six months of $135,000. Under tho law the board in levying the tax cannot provido for any future expense, but must lovy a tax only suf ficient to meet known bills and ex penses. Tho board cannot levy to meet the expense that it knows will be cre ated by the legislature, and hence de ficiencies arise. The tax levy this year was the light est in the history of the state. Next year it will be considerably heavier be cause the deficiencies will have to be made up. FOUB KILLED BY LIGHTNING. UNITED TREKS LEASED WIRE.) Douglas, Ariz., July 16.

He says that a certain banker in Inde pendence has written many letters to this city warning people not to hire him for any work, and that every one else places stumbling blocks in his path. Dr. W.

In a letter to the heads of the unions, the general managers of the railroads stated that "all differences relative to pay and working conditions" will now be arbitrated.
