FORT GRANT
 MILITARY POST
N. L. WOODS, OF BONITA, THINKS THE POST SHOULD NOT BE
 ABANDONED.

M. l.. Woods, an old resident of Bo. nifa was in .Solomonville several days this week on business connected with his big hay contract at the Fort Grant military post
 Concerning the recommendation for the abandonment of Fort Grant, made by General Funston, MT. Wood told the Bulletin that he thought it would be a great mistake.
 "As to scarcity of water at the post" said MT. Wood. there is no shortage of water for more than six. ty days in the year. I have lived there ever since Fort Grant was es- tablished and know all about the wa ter supply. It is abundant. When the post was first established water ran down from the mountain as far as the post at all times Several years afterward the water begun to disappear in the creek in dry seasons. Then the authorities built reservoir between the post and the mountains and so long as this reservoir was kept cleaned out there was no scarci- ty of water at any time This fes- ervoir. has been allowed to fill up with sand and debris from the noun tain., As you know. the present year has been an unusually dry one and of course there was less water at Grant than usual.
 'I see by the Globe paper that the people of that town think if Fort Grant is abandoned there will be a chance to have another post estab- lished somewhere between San Carlos and Globe on the line of the Gila val ley. Globe and Northern railway In this the Globe people are doomed to disappointment. If Fort Grant is aban- boned there will be no chance to have another post established in this sec tion of Arizona. If the military au- thorites are convinced that post should remain in this section of the territory they will retain Grant, as the water problem there is no obsta- c1e. Abundance can easily be provi- ded. If there is necessity for soldiers in the vicinity of the San Carlos In- dian reservation they cannot be bet ter located than at Fort Apache on one side and Fort Grant on the other
 "The abandonment of Fort Grant would seriously effect, the farmers of the Gila valley by deprivng them of an important market for their hay and grain, and the people should be- stir themselves to save Fort Grant, for if that post is abandoned they need not expect a new post to be establish ed anywhere within reach of the pro- ducts of this valley."-Bulletin.

The market shifted its tone several
times during the course of the forenoon.
The opening declines we're followed by a
general rally which in turn gave place
TO a rapid reaction With the course
of the morning a further rise took place
which carried stocks well above their
opening figures.
St. Paul was the leader of the market
in each Of these various turns. A good
deal of interest was excited By the ap-
pearance of some friction in Colorado

ests asserting that their name had been

was declared utterly misleading by the
Hawley- Hartman interests. The fiuc-
tuatiOns in the stock were how

the market in respect OF activity or
movement.

Methods to Be Employed

He concludes:
1t need hardly be repeated that in all
the foregoing suggestions. whether re-
lating 10 dried fish, fire extinguishers,
or machinery. the point should always
be kept in mind to make everything as
plain and easy as possible for the buyer.
The Americans who have won conspicu-
Gus success in the German market
have been those who have come here,
studied the requirements Of the trade,
and then either set up their own depots
and system of distribution. or formed
close working relations with German
houses Of high standing and established
connections throughout the Empire.
Either this. or recourse must be had
to the travelin% salesman with his sam
pie bag and persuasive address. For ef-
fective service. he should b fluent In

conditions, and an american training
and experience in the art OF describing,
