basas cattleman, made a sale or iooo head of cattle last week.
 Holbrook Argus: J. D. Houck, the biz sheep man of Holbrook, was in Kansas City last week having in hand six carloads of Arizona's fine lambs. They averaged 5S to 6l pounds, and brought five dollars.
 Stockman: E. R. Moore of Wilcox has returned from his trip to Texas, where he went to secure better pas ture for his stock. The recent rains have made wonderful changes in the ranges and MT. Moore has changed his mind about moving his cattle.
 Holbrook Argus: Barton Mossman shipped nine carloads of cattle last Sunday for the Aztec Land X Cattle Co. This company has but few cattle left and will soon be out of the ousl- ness. It is reported that they propose putting in sheep in the near future.
 Stockman: Charlie Woods, mana ger of the Turtle Cattle company, was in town Monday with two pack horses after supplies. Charlie says he never saw the range in his section in better condition. The old cows are begin ming to climber up" and the festive cowboy is after them with a rope
 Winslow Mail: The Aztec Land & Cattle Go. shipped two cars of range horses from this point last Saturday This company is 2 >ing out out of the cattle business altogether, and rumor has it that they propose putting in sheep. We are not advised as to whether there is any truth in the re port or not.
 Citizen: Inspector Geo. P. Schole- field inspected three carloads of stock cattle at Arizola this week. They were sold by D. Foster to F. s. Best of Beaumont, California. The ship ment was made ou Wednesday. MT. Scholefield said that the farmers were made happy by the recent rains in the valley and the increased volume of water in the FlOrence-Arizola canal
 Star: Scholetield & Richey sold a trainload of the Carrillo cattle to J. D. Ingraham of Santa Barbara, Cal The recent rains have made some short feed, but unless the fall and early winter prove mild it will not help much. There are not many cat tie moving out, however, in fact the market is poor and prices depressed, as cattlemen are not ready to sacri' fee.
 Stockman J. T. Murphy, chair man of the Montana board of live stock commissioners says that October shipments of cattle from Montana will be lighter than ever before. Very few cattle have been taken into Mon tana from the south in the last two years and that there are fewer cattle in the state than formerly. Shipments this season began earlier than usual so that the last part of the season will show very small shipments.

pleased to find the weather SD cool and pleasant. He says he Was very cordially received by the members of the Denver chamber of commerce and they expressed themselves as anX- ious to cultivate closer business rela- tions with Arizona. They said they would willingly circulate any literature advertising this region that might be furnished them either by the Phoenix board of trade or by the Phoenix bust ness men.
 Colorado people are many of them, looking in this direction for a pleas ing winter climate and that state has many products which ought to find d good market here. MT. Clark was in troduced to an official of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, who began conyersing on an interesting topic at once. He said the company was mak- ing arrangements to lay coal down in Phoenix this winter $2 a ton cheaper than heretofore. That ought to bring it into pretty general use. He said. fur ther. that if possible arrangements would be made with the local dealers in coal to handle it's product but if not it would place an agent here. as it was determined to place Colorado coal on the Phoenix market.
 For the interest Colorado busi- ness men are taking in this coun- try MT. Clark said that of course they expected a return of the compliment in the way of a little local activity here in the advertisement Of that state for summer patronage as well as an inter- change of commodities. Colorado's summer resorts are already famous. but. like all other good things, they want them pushed along.
 Speaking of statehood. he said the admission of the territories was a sub ject of frequent conversation and the prevailing opinion is that they will admitted the coming winter. Senator Wolcott is firmly of that belief and has no hesitancy in so expressing himself. He says it will be a natural result of the policy of expansion which just now is on the high tide cf popularity.

 CHINESE HOLIDAY-The Chinese band, sheet iron and tin band. was in evidence again yesterday and last night and Chinatown was ablaZe with holiday demonstrations. It was rather an un- usual thing at this season of the year, as the celestials in this country seldom celebrate anything but the new year and the death of some locally notable Oriental. The new year is now half grown and no deaths nave been report ed to the health officer, So the only con- clusion that can be logically drawn is that Phoenix Chinatown has cast it's lot in with the other powers in celebrating the fall of Pekin. inquiry among the Chinamen elicited simply the reply heap good day for China man"

OF all the trades that require quick

fact that the bees In each hive or clus-

possible, that the skins have been
comparatively recently-within this

that one of these prehistoric brutez
