A COW TRADE.
The Kind of a Deal That Can't Be
Closed Up in One Day.

! Major W. H. Stilwell yesterda,
morning advertised a lot of persona
property for sale preparatory to leav.
ing to enter upon his military duties
There was included in the list one
Blue Point Jersey caw, which the ad
vertiser nodestly stated he believed tt
be the best in Arizona. Among the
readers of the advertisement was At
torney-General Frazier. He was sc
impressed by the owners expression
OF confidence in the COW that he was
filled with sudden longing for her. As
soon as the encouragement came
down town he called on Major Stilwell
to inquire the price of the Blue Point
Jersey. The major without replying
directly, entered upon a eulogy of the
animal. 1t was with regret, he said
that he had been brought to the point
of selling her at all. He had thought
of taking the COW to war with him
but he had discovered there was moth
ing in the regulations providing for
the transportation of milk COWS. He
traced the cows lineage back through
several bovine generations to the Isle
of Jersey She differed from other
COWS il that she produced no milk at
all, only cream of a rich quantity and
lots of it. She therefore could not be
properly called milk COW, but a
cream cow There was only one other
COW in the world equal to her. She
belonged to a collateral branch Of
the same family and was owned by a
fortunate gentleman who lived either
in Jersey or the island of Guernsey,
where, Major Stilwen said, he had IN
derstood that she was the sole support
Of a large and Furnishing dairy.
Reverting to his own COW, the major
said that her general excellence from
standpoint of cream was greatly
heightened by her intelligence, affec-
ton and conscientiousnesS In respond
ing to the efforts Of the milkmaid, or
more properly, the creammaid. Sell
ing her, continued the major, was like
parting with a member of the family,
but this was one of the many sacri-
fees made necessary by the stern ext
gencies OF the war, with Spain. The
major went on extolling the cow in
this fashion and when he had con-
cluded the Encouragement went away
more profoundly impressed than ever.
He went back to his Office to write a
cheek in payment for her. He filed
out the blank form, PAY to W. H.
Stilwell or order the sum Of" Then
he remembered that, carried away by
the majors eloquence, he had lost
sight Of the price of the COW. The
major had either forgotten the COM
mercial feature of the affair or else he
believed the animal was too sacred to
be mentioned on the same day with the
insignificant price he intended to ask
for her.
The attorney-genera having talked
cow yesterday, is going back to the
major today to talk business and bring
the negotiations to an end.

day. Sleep and rest are unknown
things in our town.
"This morning at o'clock three
trains carrying troops to San Fran
cisco went through. 1 was too busy to
even inquire where they had come
from. This accounted for the delav in
the arrival here of the M. & P, late, l
believe, about forty-five minutes. The
M. & P. trains coming into Maricopa
every day with trains loaded with hay
for California contribute largely to
the activity of our town.
81 don't think single paper in the
valley has noticed the fact of my latest
venture in this county. Maricopa be-
came town and railroad center eleven
years ago. 1t has never had store OF
trading place of any kind outside of
regular hotel business until now
have opened up a regular general store,
carrying every kind of necessity for
town. In addition to this l have just
completed a warehouse 50x20, built
OF adobe, for the storage of grain and
other things. | am satisfied there is
money in the enterprise. At any rate
It cannot now be said that Maricopa
is town without store in it. 1t is
hardly necessary for me to advertise
my business, you see, because l am the
only merchant there and the town
people cannot miss me and go on down
the street to some other merchant. l
have it all my own way in this re-
spect."
Tommy" Fea, Worlds Fair mine,
Ariz., said the register at the CONNER
cial. And he was hunted for and
found.

ALIVE WITH EDITORS.
Journalism Running Riot in the City
of Phoenix.

The streets of Phoenix were filled
yesterday with the new editors of the
Arizona Gazette, and all of them were
not in town. Any one approaching a
street corner at which he intended to
turn could almost confidently count
upon a collision with democratic ed
itor. The condition of the thorough
fares of Phoenix when the whole ed
itorial corps assemblies in town is fear
full to contemplate Traffic will be
suspended and journalism will l.In
riot. If the war with Spain continues
until after the coming democratic con-
vention and another call for troops is
made, the editorial corps of the Ga
zette may be converted into an army
corps. The editorial list is Increasing
with the rapidity with which the COW
boy troops, F. w. Sheridan's troop and
Captain Crenshaw's company grew
under the stimulus of patriotic senti-
ment and military ardor.
County Treasurer d. L. Murray has
been promoted to an editorial posi-
ton. That Mr.. Murray is an office
holder and is DESTROYS of remaining
one can hardly be reckoned a coincia
Jence merely because most of tha
other members OF the staff are of the
same mind.
AS has been related, these editors
are all stockholders. IEeir cupscrip-
tions are of varying amounts, ranging
from 500 Up. It will be an easy
enough thing to declare dividend
among them in case dividend mani
tests itself That can be done by the
pro rata process, but that process can
not be easily applied to a determine
ton OF the volume of influence each
editor will be allowed to WELD. 1t
would be manifestly unfair to allow an
editor with only one share of stock to
mould as much public opinion as the
man who owns three shares or more.
Three OF the editors are said to be
candidates for county sheriff. Sup
pose one owns one share, one TWO, and
the third three In that case harmony
may be promoted by the Gazette advo-
eating the nomination of the first on
Tuesday. 1t might support the second
on Wednesday and Thursday, and then
it could equitably turn itself loose in
favor of the third on the three remain
ing days of the week.
Speaking of stock and official aspi
rations, it is said that one of the sub
scribers has put in S1UV with the IN
Outstanding that if he gets what he is
after he will make it $500 after the
convention If he fails there will b.
one editor less and one private citizen
more.
The Gazette's eveding rival does not
view this Candidates Cooperative as
ISOLATION with equanimity. The cand1-
dates were looked forward to
as source of revenue be-
tween the convention and the
election. Now that all the candi-
dates have been bottled up, Mr..
Leitch zealously guarding the entrance,
the situation is viewed by any other

BEST HORSES TO RAISE.

BEST HORSES TO RAISE.
For certain classes of horses pros
poets are good. A large, heavy, stylish,
we'll bred 1900 to 20U0 10 draft horse is
in good demand and always will be.
The cob is wanted if we'll bred. He
should weigh $50 to HOO lbs, have
clean limbs, high head, be a high step
per ard attractive. Then the carriage
horse is in demand. He should be 15.3
to 16 hands high, well bred, symmetri-
cal, with fine hair.
Lastly the trotter or PAGER. but he
must be able to go nearly mile in two
minutes, and that is seldom done, but
a horse that can go very fast is always
salable. Raising trotting horses is a
legitimate business, but it is better to
let the other fellow do the campaign
ing. A colt that will make very
speedy horse will give promise of it if
the boyis given chance to drive him.
Every man Should consult his own
taste as to the class Of horses he will
raise, but be sure to raise the best of
that class. The better way, however,
is to raise horses of each class. When
the demand for one class is slow the
sales of another class will be brisk.
The farmer can raise the trotLing horse
cheaper than can the man who gives his
whole time to it. TrOtting-bred hcrses
make good work horses, and if used
cautiously and properly, work on the
farm will not injure their speed.
