SELLING OF A FARM
But That is No Sign That the Seller
viii Leave the Valley.

There was another farm sold yester-
day. The eighty-acre ranch Of J. l..
Cant, three miles northwest of the city,
passed into the hands of William
Iopen, already the owner Of a great
deal of real estate in the valley The
price paid was $4,000. Mr.. Hopen also
took all the cattle on the ranch, most
OF the horses, all the farming utensils
and the hay. That all cost him $500
more.
Mr.. Hopen first invested in real estate
/ in the Salt River valley twenty years
ego, when he bought q ranch several
miles north of Phoenix. That was at a
time when the outlook for the valley
was not quite so nattering as it is now
and Mr.. Hopen went away, though he
kept mis- ranch. He lived for some years
in the Sulphur Springs valley in Co
chise county, where he was extensively
engaged in the cattle business.
! Mr.. Cant also sold his cattle ranch
known as La Galura at Seven Springs.
The purchaser is Manford Cartwright.
/ The price to be paid is SIG head for
steers and SIS for COWS and calves. The
last time the cattle were rounded up
/ there We're 500 Of them. That was two
years. ago.
Mr.. Cant has no notion of quitting
the valley, but he is going to take
| things a little easier than he has done
since his first arrival here. He has
| three eighty-acree tracts left and viii
probably keep them, at least until the
value Of them has further increased
on account Of the construction Of the
/ Tonic Basin reservoir.
His home for time viii continue TO
| be on East Adams street. where the
democrats said he did Tot reside at the
! time of the last city election.
Mrs. Cant VIII leave shortly on a visit
with relatives in Eagle county. Col

KENT County Levy Court says the
Dover Sentinel has issued a statement
of the disbursements of that body for
the past three months-February
March and April. This statement
shows total expenditure in that time
of $12, 7OS5 In this amount is in
cluded nearly half of the amount of in
vestment tax refunded and the expen-
r ses of the April term of court. Deduct
ing these amounts the total will show
a very economical amount expended
by the Levy Court.
1t is the intention of the Levy Court
to issue these statements quarterly
, end at the end of each fiscal year to
4 show not only statement Of the dis
1t bursements, but Of the receipts as we'll.
ecThis will give to the taxpayer a clear
ooRnd comprehensive statement of the
condition of Kent County.
Such a statement was never issued un-
der Democratic control for obvious
reasons, and coming as it now does
from a Republican Levy Court, it
speaks we'll for them as a proof that
they have nothing to conceal from the

Counsel John S. Miller, representing
all the packers, gave notice of an ap-
peal from the decree, and the case will

The decree enjoins the packers and

Nelson Morris & Co., the Schwarz
child and Sulzlng Company and the

tional Packing Company. incorporated

free competition in the meat markets.
Secret meetings to agree on uniform
prices are prohibited. The packers
must not arbitrarily raise. lower or fix
prices by agreement. They are en-
Joined from establishing uniform rules
Of credit to dealers and they must not
have common blacklist of customers
who are delinquent in paying for
goods. In case of violation of any OF
these provisions of the decree they are
to be brought into court and punished
for contempt.
