History of AriZ9Ra.

At the request of Governor Irwin Attorney General Herring and oth- CTS, Col. c. D. Poston to-day filed articles of incorporation of ''tbe Arizona Historical Society,"" with the following trustees;
 Charles D. Poston, Phoenix, Mar icopa county; Charles H. Brinley Yuma, Yuma county, Lewis c. Hughes, Tucson, Pima county ; John H. Marion, Prescott, Yavarai county; Peter R. Brady, Florence, Pinal county ;Wm, H. Hardy, King man, Mohave county; Attorney General William Herring, Tomb stone, COchise county; M.W. Stew art, Sierra Bonita, Graham county ; A, F, Banta, St Johns, Apache county; ". G. Stewart, Flagstaff, COconino.
 The Treasurer is Col.W Christy, Secretary, L. NJ Lemon, both of Phoenix.
 The object of the society is, as It's name implies, to secure an au- thentic account of the origin, de- velopment and resources of Arizona, while the actors in it's earlier and more tragic scenes are still living and able to tell their experience as they actually occurred. To this end Col. Poston has issued letters to all the trustees requesting them topro- cure and compile all the facts and statistics relating to their various counties, including biographies and autobiographies of all pioneers, maps and such pictorial representa- tions as may be obtainable.
 From all the information thus obtained a consecutive and orderly

THE Las Vegas Stock Grower, says: Trading in cattle is not yet active in the southwest, but nearly all owners report the receipt of let ters of inquiry, and the outlook for sales at advanced prices is very en- couraging to owners of good cattle. It Is evident that the scrub will still hold his own-at the rear of the procession, though it is possible that the disastrous experience of those who handled such stock last year, will have a depressing effect on the sales of scrubs this season. Present conditions certainly justify owners of blue blooded steers ex- pecting better prices than have pre- vailed for several years.

THE War Department is going into the rsebreeding business, for cavalry purposes. The Prescott Courier advises them to locate their horse ranch in Arizona, and sug- gests the Verde Valley as a desira- ble place for such an enterprise. Bro. Marion always has his wealth er-eye on the main chance and never fails to urge the advantages offered by Yavapai, which is very correct and should be duly appre- ciated by the people of that county.

The Feeder Market.

To the range cattle raiser the
 question of the market for feeders is becoming of more and greater importance as the years go by.
 Formerly we could turn off our
 steers in the early or late autumn
 fat and ripe for the shambles. Now
 we can only top our herds for beef.
 The remainder must be kept over
 or sold to farmers in the corn belt
 for feeders.
 Happily it has been fully demon strated that Wyoming, Colorado,
 Utah, Idaho and Montana range raised steers are the most profita- ble feeders the farmer can buy. There is more outcome, or increased weight to be secured from a steer that has never been grain fed than from one having been raised on the farm and given grain in the winter. This the farmers of the western DOT tirn of the corn-growing states are beginning to understand. And it is fortunate for rangemen.
 The question of interest to the stockmen of the plans is what is likely to be the demand for feed ing steers the coming summer and autumn?
 Based on the theory that an ay- craze corn crop will be made dur ing the year 1891 in the states west of Chicago the demand for feeders in Iowa and Nebraska will be three hundred and fifty to four hundred thousand head. The supply of na tives in these two states will fall short of the demand fully 100000. Kansas and Missouri will be in about the same condition-tWO hundred thousand short. Iowa and Nebraska will have to depend on Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho for this supply. Can we fill the orders? How many steers of suitable age for feeding can these four commonwealths deliver? Will the demand not far exceed the SUD- ply? If the demand is in excess of the supply will not prices ad- vance and remain firm.
 These are pertinent questions for herd owners to consider before sell ing at low prices. The Journal does not mean to say that prices will rule tabulously high; it does insist that they will be better and that condi- tions present justify holders of cat tie demanding fair price for their steers when buyers call for figures Sell at fair price but do not be- come panicky and give your steers away.
 The tops of your herds will bring round figures on the market for Oeeves, but only the tops should go. The others will bring more for feed ers. Sort or cut your herds care fully and closely when shipping. Send no two-yearolds unless the banker makes demands that are to De met in no other way. The two- year-olds of this year will be worth ! good deal more next year. Hold nm over if you can.-NorthWest- ,rn Live Stock Journal.
