Gazette: Yesterday train load of cattle went through Maricopa bound for California. The cattle were shipped at Fl Paso. The man who shipped them came on to Phoenix to purchase cattle for the El Paso mar ket. Something strange about that kind of business, remarked another passenger on the train when made aware of it.
 Stockman: MT. Brannick Riggs, one of the largest cattle owners in Cochise county, has made sale of I,20O head of cattle at the rate of Sl5 for yearlings and SIS for twos. The sale was made through Broker Ed Moore of Wilcox, to II. B. Kelly of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Messrs. Scow and Newell of Dos Cabezas, have also sold their cattle to the same party, at the same price, and it is said that other cattlemen of the Sulphur Spring valley will sell at the same figure The price is not bad, all things considered, and 1t is doubtful if cattle will rule higher this spring
 Republican,: Thomas Greenhaw came in yesterday from his sheep ranch twelve miles north of the city. He said that the desert west of town is literally blooming with a profusion of California poppies and other wild flowers, while the abundance of grasses had fattened the stock and made them very hearty. He said that his band ot 2.300 sheep had recently been with. out water for two weeks. His asser ti0n was considered marvellous and led to a discussion relating to tho space of time in which stock ma' exist without water. MT. Greenhaw explained that it was frequent oc curence for his sheep to be without water as much as two weeks and with out great deal of discomfort they might be deprived of all moisture ex cept that in the grasses for sixty days. When his sheep were led tt water after their two weeks dry ex perience some of them did not drink A comparison was made with cattle which strangely, also will thrive with out water for period of six days Indeed, instances have been knowl of cattle going without water fo nine days when it was within reach
 Citizen: Charles F Schumacher o Tucson, who was Tn Phoenix ol Wednesday buying cattle for this mar ket, told the Republican that tn price of beef cattle is higher now thal it has been at any time during hissiX teen years experience in the butcher ing business in Tucson. It has no been many years since MT. Schumache was first driven into the Salt Rive valley after cattle and his latest tri is his first purchasing journey to in north sides He said that there ha' been a phenomenal advance on tn south side and the figures were s high that he could not adjust his bee market to suit. He believes that tn rain in California will be quickly fol lowed by decline in the price q stock in the valley. Without tn rain there seemed to be nothing [ keep figures from soaring out of sight The immediate effect of the Califol nia rain on Arizona cattle will be onl indirect in stopping the demand fo vallau bav which will sharnly decline

Frontier: The big cattle cOnven- tion at Ft Worth was exported to settle many important live stock questions. and the owners of cattle in this section anticipated the arrival here of buyers upon the adjournment of the convention. Prices. it was thought. would also be determined and thus matters would be adjusted to the satisfaction of both sides. But as vet there is little change in the situation and the gathering season and it's end are within sight. There Is one point the convention acted upon, unanimously, the outcome Of which will be interesting, and hat is the resolution to refuse to patronize the Chicago stock yards until the ''hOld upr terminal of S2 is discon- tinued The resolution does not mean nothing.

USE STRAIGHT STACK.
Union Pacific Fast Describing the
Diamond Stack on Engines.

Cheyenne. WyO.. July 12.-General
Manager Dickinson and party Of IN
ion Pacific officials came here today on
an inspection trip. The gentlemen sta
ted that an increased amount of repair
and rebuilding work is being done along
the line of the road this year. The
work Of ballasting the lines in Nebras-
ka is progressing rapidly and will, in
all probability. be completed not later
than early next spring
The work on the new cutoffs west OF
Laramie. which were to be completed
by October, will be ready for the steel
at that time, but it is probable that the
steel will not be laid until next spring.
Recently a straight smOkestack was
placed on a Denver engine, No. 931, and
was given a thorough test. The result
has been so satisfactory that all loco
motives on the Union Pacific will be
equipped with the straight stack as fast
as they can be taken to the shops. 1t is
claimed the straight stack is much
cheaper in the matter of fuel than the
diamond stack. now in use on Union
Pacific engines, and also that an engine
will steam better with the straight
stack
