and in the Blue river country, which is drained by the San Fran cisco river. The warm rains mel ted the snows which fell a week ago and the water from the Blue river country and the Mogollons all poured into the Frisco river. Bo- nita and Eagle creeks and other tributary streams poured their swollen waters in the river and 1t all rushed down upon Clifton.
 The old settlers of the city, who have passed through similar storms in the past, yesterday mo- ticed the foreboding condition of the stream and if they were in places of danger, moved to the highlands. The Mexicans in the lowlands, more unmindful of con ditions, stayed in their huts, and it was among them the greatest havoc was wrought. This is the third time within the past eighteen months that Clifton has had floods entailing loss of life and property.

Sunday Closing of Stores.

The merchants of Nogales, Ari- zDna, are voicing strong protests against the city ordinance which compels them to close their places of business all day Sunday, and we understand are circulating petition asking for its repeal. They claim that the closing of their stores on Sunday has tendency to send their regular customers across the line to make purchases which they cannot get at home, and in consequence they are losing much of their trade, as many of the customers being laboring peo- pie, cannot do their trading Satur- day, and must go where they can get it Sunday; also they say that large numbers of the mining men can only reach town to do their trading (which is large factor in Nogales business) on Sunday and that this business they lose by be- ing obliged to close on Sunday. It looks to THE OAsIss as if these claims of the business men are we'll taken, and that 1t would be but justice to them and for the business welfare of the city to so amend the ordinance as to allow all business places to remain open till F o'clock noon on Sundays; and 1t would be an easy matter for the merchants to so arrange with their clerks that each could have half a day off duty during the week, and thus enable them to at tend to such matters as may re- quire their attention. As the or dinance now stands 1t is a hard ship, not only on the merchants but on many of their customers, and we believe could be so amend ed as to be satisfactory to all con- cerned.

Heavy Fall of Rain.

Rain commenced to fall last Saturday, and there was an almost continual downpour until late Monday night, when the storm broke and Tuesday came in bright and clear. There has been a heavy fall of water generally throughout this section, which was very well come to stock raisers everywhere, as all vegetation was drying up, crazing getting poor, and stock commencing to suffer for lack of sufficient water on the ranges. The heavy fall of rain has changed all these conditions; vegetation has brightend up and revived, grazing will rapidly improve, and stock will be in no danger from scarcity of water.

Stock M arket.

Kansas City, Nov. 30th, 1906. Cattle receipts this week have been smaller than last week by 1000 head, but the Thanksgiving holiday inteferred with trade sorne- what and the market has been ir- regular although generally very satisfactory. Beef steers opened the week lower, but have regained the loss, closing strong today, with some good Colorado beef steers at $4.50, top for the week. Cows are 10 to 25 cents lower than week ago, greatest loss on the medium to common grades. Colorados sel- ing at $2.65 to $3.60, panhandles at $2.40 to $3.25, canners $2.00 to $2.50. Stockers and feeders open ed the week 5 to 15 cents higher, but have eased down a little since, closing today with part of the ad- vance lost, but strong as compared with a week ago. Range feeders sell at $3 60 to $4 25, stockers $3.- 25 to $410. A good rain over Kansas and Missouri last few days will have the effect of strengthen ing stocker and feeder prices. A large percentage of the receipts have been Colorado this week, but the number from the panhandle has been moderate. A few Idaho beef steers were here selling at $4.- 35, weighing 1160 lbs. The out look favors fairly good receipts next week and good market.
 Sheep supply is much smaller than few weeks ago, and con sists mainly of medium class fed stuff, not much choice stuff in- cluded. A feature of the market this week was the sale of the first pea fed lambs of the season today, from Monte Vista, the lambs sell ling at $7.35, and $7.40, ewes $5.- 25, and yearlings at $6.50, most satisfactory opening for this trade. A large consignment of through billed stock sheep were here We'd nesday, outside of which receipts of stock stuff have been small. Feed ing lambs sell at $5.50 to S6.50, stock sheep $3.50 to $500. The signs indicate moderate receipts and firm market.
