July Trade Conditions.

R. c. Dun X Cos monthly review of trade conditions for July in South ern California says that in spite of in tense heat and drouth of July the bank clearings showed trade condi- lions much better than usual at this time of year. Trade was depressed somewhat in central west and south west. but from the rest of the country advices show large business for the month.
 Steel strike is a disturbing element in trade circles of the east, and strike in San Francisco is impairing busi- ness all along the Pacific Coast.
 The barley crop is a disappoint- ment. Unfavorable conditions de stroyed chance of a big crop. While more barley has been harvested than Suihces for home consumption, but little of it is heavy and bright enough for export. Sixty cents per hundred pounds Is all buyers offer.
 Beans look well and will yield fair crop. About 10000 carloads is esti- mated for Limas.
 Reports of poor condition generally of eastern fruit crops and loss from heat and drouth, both there and Flu rope, has tended to stilfen western fruit prices.
 Eastern demand for oranges keeps up. Prices have advanced on Valen- cias and Sweets. Demand for lemons can scarcely be supplied. Prices and demand all grower could ask for. In past six weeks price to grower has forged from one cent to three cents a pound. Citrus fruit crop the coming season will be shorter than indicated by earlier conditions. No one places yield above 75 per cent. of season just closing.

COSTLY WASHOUTS.
Transfers Will be Made for Several Days Yet-Extent Of Washed
 Out Territory.

A telegram from up north gives the information that the transfer of pas sengers, mail and express will be con tinued for several days vet, provided no further rains come to undo the work already done at the washed out places, and even in that event tempo rary tracks and bridges will have to be constructed around the washed out territory.
 A railroader states that it is the worst rain damage ever experienced by the Santa Fe company, and will cost several hundred thousand dollars to put the track in the same condition it was before the floods came down Apache canyon, in the Glorietta mountains the other day. Five big iron bridges. which took the places of wooden bridges a few years ago, when the railroad company was trying to make that section of the New Mexico division impregnable for all time to come, and about one mile of track were washed away the other day, huge cottonwood trees coming down the canyon with the flood waters and tearing the bridges off their founda- tions. It is also understood that the washed out territory covers an area of about four miles altOgether-Albu- querque Citizen.

X telegram from Lawton, Okla homa, says: A movement has been started among the home seekers who lost to have the government open up three reserves in land in a lottery, mhich it set aside in the Lawton dis trict before opening. At a meeting of 100 or more it was decided to pc tition the interior department at once to take such action. These reserves embrace 532, 800 acres, or about 3, 1880 quarter sections. Land is held in re- serve because the government, antici- pating the cattlemen who had all the Kiowa-COmanche country leased for pastures would not be able to find pastures in Texas or other cattle grazing sections readily. If the cat tlemen can round up their cattle and get them to the government reserva- tions this fall, homeseekers argue they can find pasture somewhere else by next spring. The homeseekers are willing to buy the land outright from the government.

A SUSPECT ARRESTED.
San Francisco Police Think They Have UnraVelded the SeIby Robbery
 Mystery.

A telegram from San Francisco, dated Aug. 9 says: In the opinion of the police the mystery of the theft of S2S3,000 from the Selby Smelling works has all but vanished. They are convinced that John Winters or Buck Taylor, as he is sometimes known, who is now in custody, is the man who planned and executed the crime. In his cabin near the shelter hey have found many articles tending to connect him with the crime. These include a small incandescent lamp and battery crusted with mud Simi- lar to that ill the robbers tunnel. and a shovel, cloth, laths, peculiar tacks and chalk, all similar to articles found in the excavation under the smelling works. A cap similar to the one he is known to have been wearing was found in the tunnel and since the rob bery he has been wearing a new cap.
 Winters is a Prussian 37 years of age. He has been a cowboy in Texas, a contractor in Los Angeles, car driver in Memphis, conductor in Dal- las and rancher in Chico. He has also worked at the Selbv smelter. He was arrested while readinga account of the robbery and had been talking about it at San Rafael before it was generally known. He rides a bicycle and in the tunnel was an oiler such as is used by wheelmen. In his cabin was a metal bolt cutter and a grind stone which apparently had been used to sharpen a drill. On the dool of his cabin was a notice reading Anyone who enters will be shot.
 He also tells conflicting stories abou; why and when he purchased variou, suspicious articles, and has been re peatedly seen in the vicinity of tn,

 It is said that lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Water spouts and cloud bursts, how ever, do not respect this custom. This Was demonstrated yesterday when another water spout visited the same section northeast of Prescott !. that was visited on Monday last re- sulting in the destruction of bridge 1. and the wrecking of a freight train. Like its predecessor of a week ago, yesterdays storm took out a portion of the bridge which had been built to | replace the one washed out a week . ago. The bridge was rebuilt in time . to let the south bound passenger train over it about midnight.

DREW WINNING NUMBERS.
w. H. Thayer of Prescott Secures a Homestead for Himself and One for Soldier Client in the Okla
 homa Drawing.

When W. H. Thayer left Prescott last month for Oklahoma he went for the purpose of taking a chance with the other 166,OO0 people in seeming one of the 13,000 homesteads opened up for settlement in the two land dis tricts there. In addition to his own homestead right he was also provided with power of attorney from Fen s. Hildreth, soldier of the Spanish American war, to select piece of land for him, in case he was success ful in the draw, as the young man thinks of going east to grow up with the country. While thousands of others were doomed to disappoint- ment in the drawing for privileges of selecting homestead, Mr. Thayer made two draws. one for himself and one for Mir. Hildreth. NIT. Thayer's name came out of the box the second day. while Mir. Hildreth's did not show up. until the third day, being in the 5000 list 4 letter received to- day contained the above information and he will remain there until the above numbers are reached when he will make his selection of the two homestead. Mir. Thayer being on the ground can file his application at ouce when he is al lowed six months under the law to make his settlement and establish residence. As attorney for MT. Hil dreth he can file soldiers declara- ton statement, which will hold the land for him six months preparatory to filing his regular homestead appli- cation.
 So far as heard from Mir. Thayer was the only one from Arizona lucky enough to draw even one successful number, and they came double for him.

ECONOMY IN FEEDING.
How to Build q Low Platform That
Will Check Loss Of Corn Fed
to the Hogs.

Large. quantities of corn annually
are wasted on many farms in the corn
belt where hogs are fed, because they
are fed on the ground instead of on
low platform.
Economy in the matter of feed is of
great Importance in any kind of feed
ing, and it will be particularly advis-
able this year in feeding corn to hogs
to so dispense it as to prevent un-
necessary loss.
Much of the corn given hogs is
trampled into the ground, and thus es-
capes. Wherever they are fed consid-
cradle roofing will be done, and when
rains come places are formed into
which hundreds of kernels find their
way. Every farmer knows this we'll
enough.
We have suggested low platform as
means of checking the loss indicated.
1t should be made of coarse oak lum-
Der and be large enough to accommo-
late the number of hogs fed up to q
large herd. It would not, of course, be
practicable to construct platform
large enough for very large numbers of
swine.
The platform should have sort of
rim on two or three sides to prevent
the hogs from rolling or roofing the
corn off, and the floor should be about
three or four inches from the ground
Hogs fed on this platform will get
every grain of corn given them. and:it
will more than pay for itself in short
time.-Farmers' Voice. III
