The west showed less than l90,00 as a tota. and advice from outside were rather bullish in tone. Killers were evidently short of mutton and, as one buyer ex- pressed it, There was only one side to the market. Statesmen just took you into pens and named the price. All the buying end had to do was to take the offer. Arizona lambs and yearlings, sold together, made $6.50 breaking all previous records for grass stock"

COCONINO COUNTY
Supervisor Cornish Has Good Word to Say for County While In Pres
 colt Recently.

ing an era of prosperity" said A. T. Cornish, long term supervisor ot Coconino county, last evening to g Journal Miner representative.
 Stock, both cattle and sheep, are doing we'll, and the lumber business is working full time, day and night.
 "I believe that the sentiment of the people of Coconino county is practically unanimous against joint statehood. This will certainly be shown when the ballots are counted While we consider that we have good congressional timber in Henry Ashurst to offer to the territory some future day, I believe that the services of Mark Smith have beer such that there will be no opposi- tion to his aspirations in case that he wishes to succeed himself.
 In 1891, when our county was formed from Yavapai county, the bounded indebtedness of Coconinc was about $l59,0 about Sl00, 900, of which was the bonded indebted ness of the P. and A. c. bonds Starting out with this indebtedness and no county property whatever the county has property valued 1T round numbers at $40, ,000, and be, sides has about $10O,000 in casf surplus in the treasury.
 Since Coconino county wa: formed, Prescott and other places in Yavapai county, l am proud tC say. have also made advances oi equal merit with us, which shows that both Yavapai and Coconino arc keeping abreast of the times.
 Prescott has far exceeded my expectations as business center Until my visit this time 1 did not realize the size and importance of your mercantile institutions, while the residence portion of the city reflects credit on the community the homes here comparing favor. ably with any in the entire ter ritory.
 A. T. Corni ,h is one of the pro- gressive and prominent men of Co. conino county being identiefd witf many interests there. Residing ir Flagstaff for the past twelve years, he is recognized as one of the lead ing public-spirited citizens. He was elected as member of the first board of supervisors elected in the county after its separation from Yavapai, and besides being honored with his present position has served two terms as county treasurer. He is man possessed of a keen in, sight into public affairs, and his advice is sought on all questions affecting the public welfare, re- gardless of his party affiliations. -Journal-Miner.

WAR ON THE TRUSTS
Garfield to Probe Oil, Steel,
 Goal, Tobacco and Sugar.
STANDARD OIL TO BE PUT ON RACK
Experts, Securing the Country, Arc Picking UD Testimony Regarding the Doings of Many of the
 Great Monop0l1es.

WASHINGTON, Sept 14.-Commis- sioner of Corporations Garfield will re- turn to Washington from his vacation next week ready for the renewed war on the trusts. This season promises to be one of remarkable activity in the trust busting business.
 The oil. steel, coal, tobacco and sugar combines are just now the objects of the chief solicitude of the investigating bureaus of the department of com merce and labor. The report on the oil business will soon be ready for publica- ton. Last winter a special report on the transportation feature alone of the oil business was made public, and 1t filled a volume. But it only covered a small part of the ground that will be included in the coming document.
 The report is going to deal especially with specific methods employed by Standard oil to suppress competition, the bribery of agents and employees of railroads and of rival oil companies, the ingenious methods of getting re- bates, the schemes of underselling riv- als in particular communities until they are driven out of business and then raising prices higher than ever-these and many other phases will be dealt with in detail, and it is said that the report will be no less interesting than the graphic productions of the maga- zine investigators.
 The tobacco trust is just now on the rack, and there is reason to believe that results will be attained before long. This trust, like many others, was willing at the outset to open its books to the representatives of the bureau of corporations, but experience in the beef trust case in which the packers were taken at their word, permitted to show their books, give their own con- struction of them and then exonerated, has led to the adoption of new pro cedure. Nowadays trust busting pro- gramme does not open with an inspec- tion of the books That is reserved till the other end of the proceeding.
 Instead, then, of showing its books at the beginning the tobacco trust will be permitted to show them at the close of the investigation. Meantime fifteen or twenty experts are securing the country picking up threads of infor- nation about the tobacco business, present and past and following them through their various deviations to the trusts headquarters. They are finding out many interesting things.

Mrs. E. H. Pavitt Beaten to Death

 MEDIA, Pa., Sept. 14.-Mrs. D. H. Pavitt, wife of Q farmer, was beaten to death at her home in Springfield township, near here, with hatchet in the hands of an unknown assailant during the absence of her husband. Her body, with the head crushed al- most into a pulp. was found lying on the kitchen floor by her husband upon his return from Chester, where he had gone to dispose of load of farm produce.
 A trail of blood leading to the front window was evidence that the mur- derer had left the house through the window and pulled the sash down after him. Pavitt notified his nearest neighbors of the crime. In a short time a posse of farmers was organ ized, and few hours later William Nelson, colored. aged nineteen years, was taken into custody on suspicion He denies all knowledge of the crime.
 A negro answering KelsOn's descrip' ton was seen loitering near the Pavitt farm about 8 o'clock in the morning.
