THE ARIZONA CLIP.
Wool Prices Starring Off Exception
ally Well.

The Shepherds Bulletin, speaking
of the quality and prices of the Ari-
zona wool clip, says:
The Arizona wool season has start
ed in with the new woods fairly we'll
competed for, and with prices on a
high level as compared with those
ruling year ago. the range Of prices
being from 17ls to 20 cents, much of
the wool being taken at 1874 cents.
Last year most of the woods sold at
prices ranging from 1917 10 163s
cents.
The woods this year, however are
lighter than those of last year, are
intrinsically worth more, and should
no advance in the market prices for
wool during the past year, although
some of them are reported as show
ing some defect; but they showed de-
feet last year. for that matter, and
the clip, as a whole, is showing up
very well.
The early or Southern Arizona
woods incline more to the medium or
high medium order than the North
latter being finer and of heavier
shrinkage. There are some fine
woods in Southern Arizona, but the
bulk of them, as just stated, run to
medium or high medium and the
bulk of the mare secured up, not be-
ing classed as staple woods. The
northern woods run more to staple.
The next woods to be shorn will be
those from Texas and California, and
from then onward shearing will coz
tinue pretty steadily until the end of
June, when the final and many of the
largest clips will be taken off in Mon
tana.

There is a certain young necktie
drummer of Jewish descent, who will
not go wooing again in Pendleton, at
least not soon. He was here yester-
day taking orders for goods in his
line, and went to Walla Walla this
morning. All forenoon the clerks in
the different stores in town have
been busy laughing at an episode in
which he figured last night.
According to accounts Mr.. Necktie
Man made great efforts yesterday to
impress the young men in the differ
ent clothing stores here with the
fact that he was high-rolling sport
and a strong ladies man. According
ly it was considered right that some
entertainment should be provided for
him in the evening. Consequently,
he was asked by particularly hospi-
table clerk to help him fill an ap-
pointment with a couple of young
ladies in the evening, who were said
to live adjoining the ball grounds
The offer was gladly accepted, and
the two started to make the call in
the evening. 1t was explained to the
drummer that in view of the opposi-
ton of the male parent they would
not call at the house, but meet the
girls in the grandstand which was
close by.
When the place was reached the
girls" who were impersonateA by a
couple of grocery clerks, were found
to be on hand. However, before an
acquaintance could even be formed
the father" appeared and ordered
the two men to leave the premises
emphasizing the matter by taking g
shot OF two at the drummer with g
pistol, which, of conrse, was loaded
with blanks. Further argument wa.
unnecessary, and the man who sell.
neckttes left on the run. \ numbe,
OF young fellows were gathered OF
the outside of the grounds TO see tins
| fun, and as the drummer appearec
he was threatened with arrest fol
having done the shooting, by Oh,
claiming to be an officer How,
ever the charge was vigorously de,
MED and he was allowed to go
When next found the drummer was ir
his room trying to quiet his nerve,
with liquor. and 1t is claimed he wa,
ignorant of the fact that he had beer
made the victim OF a joke.

Washington, D. c., March 23.-The
government is awaiting with no little
interest the result of the hearing at
Montreal in the extradition of Greene
and Gaynor. The two fugitives are to
be brought today before Judge La
Fontaine, the Canadian extradition
commissioner, whose Jurisdiction ex-
tends over the Dominion, and from
his decision the only appeal possible
for either side is to the minister of
justice. There is no doubt here that
the case will be decided strictly on
its merits, nor is it believed that any
undue delay will be tolerated.
Benjamin D. Greene and John F.
Gaynor were associated with Ober-
lin M. Carter in the Savannah harbor
improvement frauds, and fled to
Canada to escape the consequences
Of their acts and to delay as long as
possible their trial for embezzlement
and fraud against the United States
government before the American
courts They have been extraordi.

ton proceedings, and in their efforts
had, 1t is maintained, the assistance
of the Canadian justice, Caron, whose
interference prolonged their liberty
for more than two years.
ons August 13, 1902, Justice Caror
handed down two opinions which nul.
lifted previous decisions, and permit

nor within certain limits. These de
cisions were severely criticized, ever
by Canadian authorities, and die
much toward crystallizing public
sentiment against the further protec
'tion Of the American fugitives. Al
appeal was Immediately taken b,
counsel for the United States to tn,
privy council of England, and on Feb
ruary of this year a decision wa
handed down reversing Justice Caron
which had the effect of ordering tn,
renewal of the extradition proceed

the point where they were discontin

Caron.

OREGON HARE SCARCE.
California Sportsmen Disguised With
Small Catch for Coursing.

The spring coursing events at San
Francisco and Oakland have been
discouraging because OF the small
number of hare sent down from
Echo, Arlington and Umatilla, at
which points large supplies were ex-
pected to be taken.
Representatives of the California
Coursing association have been at all
these points for the past three weeks
trying to secure several car loads of
live rabbits, but have failed to secure
one-fourth of the number desired.
The San Francisco Call of Monday,
speaking of the failure to secure hare
in Oregon, says:
Both the promoters of coursing
and the owners are all at sea owing
to the difficulty of securing hares. 1t
was thought Oregon would supply all
that were required, but when drives
were made for them they apparently
took fright and disappeared. The
men have returned to the San Joa-
quin, where they are redoubling their
efforts to secure a supply. The ex-
pense has increased until It costs
more than 81 for each hare coursed,"

THE DOUGLAS
 PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

On Monday next the public schools of Douglas will open for the 19O5-s term. For the most part the schools will be in new hands. as -- few of the teachers of last year were re. ta.red. Two new school buildings will be occupied this year-one on Fifteenth street, where four teachers will be employed. and one at Pirtle, vile, where two teachers will be re quired. These two new buildings with the main building on Seventh street, have cost the district $3T.0OO Sixteen teachers will be required iu the schools during the present year not counting the music teacher, who wih divide LIS time between Douglas and Bisbee.
 The schools will open on Monday morning under the principalship oi Mrs. A. NJ. Dyer, who had been em, ployed as assistant to the principal, in the absence of Thomas Grindeu, who was elected to continue at the head of the schools for another term. It is fortunate that the schools will start next Monday morning under the direc. ton of one so thoroughly competent las Mrs. Dyer; ordinarily, inconven- fence and delay might have resulted from the incident Of the nor-appear, lance of MT. Grindeu to take his posi- tion, but with Mrs. Dyer in command we have no hesitancy in saying that the schools will move successfully for ward, as she is one Of the best teach. CTS in the Territory, and her long ex, .perience in Arizona has given her a perfect familiarity with the law and rules which govern in the Arizona school room. When the writer of this article arrived in the Territory nearly twenty years ago Mrs. Dyer was teach. ing in the public schools of Tucson, and has been continually in the school room since then. Before coming to Douglas three years ago she had taught for several years in the public schools of Bisbee. Mrs. Dyer should have the assistance of all the parents in Douglas in making the schools this year a success.
 The term of school which will begin next Monday will pc the fifth taught In Douglas, and no other school IT he Territory has made such a growth Let everybody take an interest in the public school and help make it cred itable to Douglas.

ARIZONA IS ONLY HOPE.

A resident of the Pecos valley. ir New Mexico, who agrees with the joint statehood proposition, in a letter to the Hon. 3. S. Rodey, has let the eat ou. of the meal bag" and expresses the be,:ef that unless the honest pop ulacion of Arizona can be added to New Mexico the increasing rascality Of the politicians of that Territory will be unbearable. This Pecos valley Republican in his letter to the ex-dele- gate says:
 Personally. I should be very sorry, indeed to see the measure defeated {; but should welcome it's defeat rather than see the present gang running a single state.
 ITO tell the truth, Rodey, I am sometimes ashamed to be called a Re publican when I think of some of the people who are managing party affairs in the Territory. However, it's a long lane that has no turn, and I am hop ing that We are approaching a turn in the political lane"
 The above extract was taken from | the letter. as published in the Albu. querque Journal, the organ of the joint statehood league of New Mexico. or rather and more correctly, of Albu querque The writer of the letter makes a good witness for those i1 Arizona who believe that the political | condition inl our sister Territory is SC corrupt and so unlike that of Arizona that there never could be an aTable utilization of the people of the two Ter ritories. h the past Arizona has al ways had comparative political peace

will be consumed by livestock on the farms To hold the entire corn crop alone would call for a train and en- zines 21,GoO miles in length. the equiv alent of six golden zones reaching from Hell Gate to the Golden Gate.
 In this story of agricultural treasure lies the reason for the unparalleled preparations of the western railroads for traffic this season. If the farmer were not already well supplied with ready money and were forced to rush his grain to market, as he has done in past years, it is reasonable to sup pose that the railroads would be ut- terly swamped with grain traffic.
 Railroad statisticians estimate the wheat and oats crop of Minnesota and the Dakotas at 326,0OO,OOO bushels, of which 190,0O0,O GOO bushels will be mar. .keted on steam roads They place the total yield of corn at 2.566.OOO, 900 bushels will be hauled on freight trains bushels vii be hauled on freight trains greater or less distances. Granting that these figures are correct. there will be 173.OO0 carloads of wheat and oats from the three states mentioned, Or 1925 trains of forty cars each. The estimate for the corn crop is 796,0O0 carloads or 19.9OO train loads of forty cars each. On top of this then prob ably will be 1000 carloads of flax seed to be hauled from the northwest.
 To haul the 100000 cars estimated for all kinds of grain, there would be a movement of a hundred trains of forty cars each for every day of the year.

RAILROADS AND MINES.

If, as it has been charged, the great parent industries" of this country are what keep it up, then there has been a broad statement made without regard to the facts. What we know zs the parent enterprises of the com nonwealth are the railways and other mTaket-cOntrolling industries.
 The Denver Mining Record asks what mining means to the staid old industry of transportation. Just 52 per cent of the products hauled over the railway lines of the United States gre mineral products; not all bullion pr ore, but the things that are made of metal, or are of metal origin
 Transportation could no more get along without mining than it could get along without agriculture; and not so well, if percentage counts for any thing.
 1T We are given to discre+it mining, kt us take into consideration its meaning to the country at large; to sne hundreds Of thousands of men and women who are employed by the firm manufacturing or handling mineral products; to those who are indirectly zs well as directly dependent on these different products. Let us keep in nind that mining makes possible our great steel-framed buildings, our rail ways, our machinery; that it gives us 5Rr money, and even our jewelry; that Ii enters largely and vitally into every phase of modern commercial and do aestic life.
 When man was still uncivilized he lad fruits and grains, but he did not have houses and comforts. He diJ Rot have means of rapid and comfort able travel. He had nothing worti considering until he began to dig foi minerals.
 And now, in these days. when man. Of us would place mining last in tn scale, we find that it is furnishing per cent more of the articles of trans pOrtation than the forests, the fields 5he printeries and the numerous othe institutions that we have come to re gard as all important.
 Mining is basic. It is lasting Tha Is the greatest reason for the natura arend of small investments towar, mining as a means of safety and re nuneration.

Portland, Ore, Sept 9.-The Con catenated Or1er of Hoo-Hoos has taken the town by storm and own it, or at least a big portion of it. The concatenated members are a jolly set and their presence in the city is dis tinctly felt in every quarter. Some of the Hoo-Hoos have travelled 5000 or 4000 miles to attend their annual con vention, but the hardship of their trip did not have any appreciable effect on their ability to enjoy the good things of life.
 According to the custom of that queer orddr the annual convention was called to order at 9 o'clock this morning, this being the ninth day of the ninth month. The convention will remain in session four days and the members will then return to their homes in a leisurely way, visiting many points of interest. There are several hundred delegates in attend ance at the convention, representing nearly every state in the union.
