Demand Much Better Than Expected at
This Time of the Year

Millers are somewhat surprised and also
pleased at the demand for flour at this
time of the year, which is called good,
and prices rule very strong. Generally
there Is but little doing in the flour trade
around holiday time, but this year it is
different and some good sales in the ag-
gregate are being made, while the millers
are running at about 75 per cent of their
capacity. Shipping directions also coming

NO STATEHOOD OF ANY KIND
Tawney Says Conditions Not Ripe
 Yet for Such Action

Kansas City, October 21.-Con- gressman J. A. Tawney, of Minne- sota, who passed through Kansas City last night en route east, at the head of the congressional party that has been studying the statehood question in the west, is quoted as saying:
 "Conditions are not yet ripe for the admission of either New Mexico or Arizona, or both the territories together. I believe that the wisest move for those two territories at this time would be to cease agita- ting the statehood question alto gether. Those territories are not yet ready for it, and there is no use talking about it.
 "There is nothing wrong with the people or natural conditions of New Mexico or Arizona. Both are en- toying great prosperity, and it is for this reason that I expect to op- pose with ali my power their ad- mission now. I believe that the federal government is giving them justice in every particular. Further admission to statehood would un settle the conditions there. Capital is going in there while the condi- tions are in a transitory state. What the country needs out there is settled conditions for a few years at least How many years would not venture to predict. though with in the next five years, unless some thing unforeseen happens, both the territories will make monstrous strides.
 Another thing I am impressed with, is the utter impracticability of making single commonwealth of those two large territories. I can assure you that no move will be made toward statehood for Arizona, in any form whatever, at the ap- preaching session of congress. That has been decided upon."

FROM GULF TO THE PACIFIC
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific
 Make Important Deal

The bitter controversy between the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe companies over the right of way through Box canyon will no longer occupy the attention of the courts The officials decided it was for the mutual interests of the contestants to combine in the construction and share in the expenses instead of doubling the cost of building.
 By the terms of the compromise the s. P. will use the Santa Fe tracks from Phoenix to Dudley vile. The s. P. is building from Dudleyville to San Carlos up the Gila canyon and the Santa Fe will run it's trains over this section of track and thence to Solomoaville over G. ", G. & N.
 From Solomonville the Santa Fe will resume the construction of a line to Duncan through the Gila valley and thence east to a connec- tion with their Deining and Silver City road, presumably at a point at or near Silver City. This will put the Santa Fe in touch with Clifton and Morenci. The Belen cut off now under construction will furnish the link which completts the Santa Fe line from Galveston, Texas, on the Gulf of Mexico, to the Pacific coast ports.
 The heavy grades will all be elim- mated, the line shortened and dan ger of snow blockades minimized. The Santa Fe's route will run from Galveston through San Angelo and Pecos City in Texas; Roswell, Por- tales to Belen, Las Vegas and as above related to Phoenix. The new California and Arizona extension will be pushed to connection with the Santa Fe's present line at some available point west of Needles. It is believed the system will be com pleted during the next year.-Globe Silver Belt.

Fla Qstaff "Gems" and "Sun" Beams

Monday evening at 7 o'clock a pretty wedding took place in the Presbyterian church, when Miss Lillias Marshall was married to MT. Joseph s. Amundsen, Rev. T. c. Moffett officiating.
 Mrs. M. J. Kennedy is now at her old home in Newcastle, Ind, and she expects to remain in the east for the next three years, or during the time her little daughter is undergoing treatment, for hip disease.
 Property seems to be changing hands rapidly in Flagstaff this week. L. B. Hutchins has pur- chased valuable premises in the north part of town, and Everette Hanna has purcased the John Kinucan residence property on Birch avenue.
 Arrangements are being made for the construction of telephone line from this place down Oak creek to the Schneblv ranch. It is said that Jerome parties will con- struct line from that place to meet the line from Flagstaff. With a line from Flagstaff to Jerome this place would then have telephone connection with all the important towns in Arizona.

TERRITORIAL FAIR
To Be Held in Phoenix Decem-
 Der 4th to 9th, 1905
Vernon l.. Clark, Superintendent.


 The congressional party that re- gently visited the territory were taken for drive about Phoenix, and among other points of interest were shown the fair grounds. Just to show them what could be done, one of Col. Greene's horses, the g. year-old Billings, was driven a mile in 2:114. The track is new and has not yet been worked down to prime condition, but this exhibi- tion shows that it is going to be one of the fastest in the country.
 About two years ago the two tribes of Indians on the Sacaton reservation, the Pimas and Mari copas, had a matched horse race and the result was not satisfactory, as foul was claimed. It has been arranged that on Indian Day of the fair that these same horses are to be matched for two-mile race and it will be conducted by the Indians themselves, under the supervision of MT. J. B. Alexander. There will be other interesting sports by the Indians and an exhibition by the United States Indian school at Phoenix.
 The 5000 stake in the free-for- all pace has been guaranteed by the citizens of Bisbee, and will be known as the "Bisbee Stake" This will dou5tless be the fastest race during the fair and the people of Bisbee are to be commended for their lib erality and enterprise.
 The amusement features of the fair are now being considered and many offers are being received for special acts. The question is not what can be gotten. but to select the best and those that will interest the people most.
 Remember the date-December 4th to 9th, 1905.

It Was a Good Show

Stowe's "Ten Nights in a Bar room" company which showed here last Monday evening was greeted by an audience large enough to fill half of the opera house, while had they been putting on any other play on earth the standing-room- only sign would have been in use. The company carries an excellent band, in fact one of the best that has been heard in these parts. This of course was relied upon to bring out the crowd to see the show, but not this time did many of our peo- pie care to see that show again. The character of Joe Morgan was assumed by Alvin Wyckoff "more better' than we had seen before. At the end of the main show a vaude- vile entertainment was given which was excellent throughout, consist ing of saxaphone solos and duets, also violin, singing, dancing, jug gling, acrobatic feats and moving pictures. All in all the company was an excellent one and it is too bad that they did not select some other play than "Ten Nights in a Barroom."

Galpin talked, is not that the people are seriously violating the game laws, but that the big gray timber wolves are becoming alarm ingly numerous, and are fast kill ing the deer. especially the lawns, which are easier to catch, and it can be readily seen that if there are no lawns there will soon be no deer.
 The stockmen are fighting the timber wolves as hard as they can, but it seems with only small effect. There is a territorial law permit ting the counties to pay bounty of twenty dollars for each wolf scalp, and the county authorities are willing to pay it. In addition the cattlemen pay a bounty of five dollars, and the sheepmen bounty of five dollars, so that wolves are worth thirty dollars apiece But even with all this inducement to the hunter and sportsman the wolves are increasing. The sheep men now all carry strichnine and whenever they kill deer, sheep or any other animal, and dress it in the hills, they poison the entrails in the hope of killing one or more wolves. Some of them also are try ing to trap them, though with but little success so far.
 The antelope of the country have been under the protection of the game laws for the last ten years, yet they are rapidly disappearing through the ravages of the wolves. This is not an argument against the game laws, for, of course, this game would go still faster if it were not protected, but it is intended to call attention to the fact that every thing possible should be done to destroy the wolves, and also to in. form hunters that the wolf is "gamer bird" than the deer, and also that his hide is valuable.- Republican.

Hunting Stories in the News Have
 Bad Effect on Him
A letter received the first of the week is as follows:

A leCIer TeCelVeu t1lc uTSI Ol Ill6 week is as follows:
 SHAVER, Cal, Oct. 20, 1905.
 c. A. NEAL:-As I have not re- ceived the NEWS of the 14th, I will ask you to kindly send me copy of the date mentioned, as I judge it has been lost on the way. am very anxious to get all the news from dear old Williams. and when 1 read the hunting stories it makes me feel little jealous because [ am not there; but I have no kick coming. We have had fine sport here, fishing and hunting. think quail hunting is the best sport I ever had. My wife has been with me a few times, and we have bagged about fifty in all. though I got some of the best of her. The duck season is now open and last Sunday morning we went down to the lake to try our luck, and you can imagine that we felt pretty big going home with twenty five big, fat ducks-no mud hens. I have not yet been out looking for big game, but will try my luck Sunday. J. F. CARLSON.
