hndu ing and many good farms
are Sc General farming is
carrie on extensively and the
farm .ouses and improvements
indicate prosperity. Large and
thrifty looking orchards Of peach,
apple, and pear trees are TO be
seen in all directions. The State
Experimental Farm is located at
Mountain Grove, and is of great
benefit to the fruit growers Of
the Ozark country. The town
boasts Of its good schools and
well attended churches. A few
miles east is the thriving little
town of CabOol having a popula-
tiOn Of about 500 and growing
rapidly. The surrounding cOun-
" contains considerable valley
land and the crops growing there
on give evidence Of the great fer
tllity of the soil. Numerous or
chards are in the immediate
neighborhoOd, and the town has
a large trade in hardwood timber
railroad ties, and oak trees for
poles and piling. Considerable
pine timber is also hauled by wa
gOn to Cabool for shipment from
the pine forests of Douglas and
1 Texas counties. Cabool is the
/ largest town in Texas county. 1t
is the shipping point for much
I live stock, cattle and hogs.
At Willow Springs the Current

town of about 900 inhabitants
and the center Of trade for a vast

South of Willow Springs is the

its name indicates il is a fruit
growing section. Some Of the

Arizona republican., 1906-12-03


 As Senator-elect Jefferson Davis of Arkansas is of the opinion that an old time row is needed in the upper chamber of congress, it is reasonable to suppose that he will assist to the best of his ability in making it. When l get to the senate" he remarks, ''there will be something doing in town" Very likely. but it would have been more modest for him 10 wait until he arrived in Washington before publishing tho fact. Actions speak louder than words. though some men have pretty vocif- erous utterance. and Governor Davis is one of them. He is evidently in- clined to join Mir Tillman's class in senatorial emotionalIsm. and therefore We may expect to witness some rat ting of dry bones in the "millionaires' club" Of rich men by the way. MT. Davis says that he believes no man ever made a million dollars honestly. What an opinion 10 entertain of so many of his future colleagues in the upper house!

around s6. bulls $2.25 to $500. canners s2 to ss60 killing steers $3.75 to S4.S5. 2 few Colorado heavy steers at $4.75. Fed cattle have been selling very good at s4.75 to s6.50. including all grades of finish. which prices are 75 cents to s1 per cwt above this time a year ago. and the flattering prospects ahead of feeders are inducing many belated feeders to buy cattle and the demand for heavy feeders is greater than the supply.
 Sheep and lambs are in small sup ply now. not much from the range. and only limited numbers of medium class stuff from the feed lots. The market closed last week Toe to 15c higher ana is strong. though not at all tested by the small run of 1900 head. Prime fed lambs are worth $7.20 to $7.4O. fair to good lambs $6.40 to $7. few range Colorados last week within these fig ures, yearlings up 10 $6.20, wethers s5.65. ewes S5.25.

government can prevent to the sub jects of either nation lawfully within the jurisdiction of the other. The Jap anese in San Francisco are protected by the authorities and by the public opinion quite as sacreoly as the rest of us.
 But We desire no more of them. There are too many of them here now. It is not right that they should come 1T they persist in coming. public opin ion in time will change. and it will be impossible to prevent trouble. We are convinced that Japanese statesmen will see the reasonableness of all this. The only trouble is in the sordid char acter of eastern people. who would wreck our civilization if thereby they could sell calico. and our pig-headed national administration, which is much of the same character. We have more hopes of convincing the Japanese statesmen of the wisdom of keeping the races apart than of convincing eastern manufacturers and fool senti- mentalists. We should be delighted to sit down and talk it over in a friendly way with representative Japanese not concerned with ocean transportation nor with contracts for coolies. And tc promote that feeling we shall exert ourselves to do honor to any Japanese squadron which may honor our port with a visit.

KANSAS CITY MARKERS
Review of Prices and Conditions of the Week.

Kansas City. Dec. 2-The cattle SUD- ply is holding up well. and is only lim- ited by the ability of railroads to de- liver stock from the range country at the markets. The market is firm all the time. demand good from all sources. Medium class cows weakened a little late last week. but market on them is good today. The run is Is 1000 head today. market steady on cows, strong on stockers and feeders, while fed steers are weak to 10c lower. Weakness on fed steers is caused by an excessive supply at Chicago, and 10c to 15c lower market there. Sales of range cattle last week were at the highest point of the season, and some very good strings of cattle were in cluded. Colorado feeders at S4. 25, New Mexico and Colorado yearlings at S4.25, bulk of the stockers and feeders at s3.35 to S3.S5, Colorado cows and heif- CTS at $500 to S3.90, panhandle and New Mexico cows and heifers s2.60 to s3.25. heavy calves S3-25 to $400, veals

THE SHORT SESSION.

The short session of the Eifty-ninth congress which will be convened today will not possess the same interest for Arizonans which was attached 10 the last session. We will be rather in the position of more or less interested on- lockers.
 There is one bill left over from the last session in which the whole west is to a larger or smaller extent inter ested and that is the Philippine tariff bill which passed the house early in the session. was sent to the senate and referred to committee where it has since remained with an understanding that it was not to be reported at all. It was regarded as dead. It was, however, a pet measure of the administration and doubtless an effort will be made to put new life into it. Though there is hardly prob ability of its passage, it may be taken up again notwithstanding the con- temptuous treatment it has received That it was given such treatment may be ascribed to two causes A naturally strong opposition in the senate To even a modified form of the bill was re- inforced by other senators who resent ed the criticism by Secretary Taft and the president of congressman who favored a modification of the measure The plans of the administration had in fact been so altered by the housa that the president and secretary de- clared that they would accept no bill which did not approximately meet their views.
 The senate, apparently accepting these declarations as final, turned its attention to other matters and noth- ing more was heard of the bill, in spite of administration effort to re- vive interest in it.
 Some of the republican members of the house who opposed the bill the most vigorously were afterward de- feated for nomination or reelection. Notable among them was Hon. Joseph W. Babcock and Hon. E. s. Minor. Their defeat was attributed by friends of the administration to their antag- onism of the Philippines tariff and other administration measures.
 But on the other hand, such staunch supporters of this and other bills recommended by the president as Hon Charles H. Grosvinor also fell by the way.
 So. the defeat or success of con- gressmen for reelection last fall can not be connected with their attitude toward this bill at least.
 Messrs. Babcock and Minor ought to have been strengthened. They both represented constituencies among whose important industries is sugar beets growing which would to some extent be Injured by the proposed leg islation.

THE PACIFIC COAST AND THE
 JAPANESE.

If the San Francisco Chronicle re- fleets even approximately the senti- ment of San Franciscans and Califor- nians generally toward the Japanese. there is a hopeless prospect of a satis- factory ending of the controversy which is agitating both the Japanese and United States governments.
 The Chronicle, replying to a report that a Japanese squadron of warships which is about to set out on a calling tour of the world would not be warmly welcomed within the Golden Gate, says that is nonsense. The Chronicle de- clares that there has been no abate- ment of the friendly feeling of Cali fornia toward the Japanese. since the time when Japan had the undivided sympathy of the coast people in the war with Russia. California respects Japan as the most vigorous exponent of oriental civilization but Californians. the Chronicle says, want none of it in theirs. Thenceforward the tone of the Chronicle in dealing with the upper most question becomes more vigorous. Says the Chronicle:
 Nothing can create an unfriendly feeling among us toward Japan except an effort to push her people into our country against our wish. just as our own Commodore Perry, half century ago. forced an entrance into Japan against the resistance of the Japanese. There was no justification for that ex- cept the conduct of Japanese pirates toward the crews Of wrecked American ships. Any nation has a right to de- mand of any other nation hospitality 10 shipwrecked sailors. To the extent of securing that only. was our intru- sion into Japan justified. But that was a long time ago. There Is no longer any fear of any injury which a
