IS the duty Of every man to stand
'llrm III this contest. Those who waver
and depend upon their neighbors to
carry all the burden, if it is in their
power to hold back a portion of their
crop, are not true to themselves, their
nelghbors or their country. The words
have now been passed all along the
line, and "Fifteen Cents" are those
words. They are short, but they mean
millions to Southern farmers.
Texas Fully in Line.
For the first time III the history Of
the advocacy Of Il slow movement of
the crop and holding for minimum
prices, the great cotton producing
state Of the outhwest is in lien.
Our advices from Texas are to the
effect that cotton is being tightly held
ny Texas Farmers, and that practical
~ no cotton is bcin" Offered at Hous-
tom and Galveston at prices less than
1t TO II 1-2 cents for the new crop.
One year ago. in the same section,
the Farmers sold their crop freely
around nine cents per pound, after
the prices had been fixed by the S. c..
~. and +. L. at much higher figures.
The TeNas farmers have doubtless
felt the costly errors Of their past
methods in marketing their valuable
staple crop without judgment or dis
eretion, and can now be relied upon
to stand pat with the other states.
This is glorious good news. 1t
marks new era of strength in the
ranks Of Southern farmers. which
makes their position ten times strong
cr than III the past. Texas annually
grows from onc-third to onc-fourth
of the entire South s production, and,
therefore, holds the balncc of pow
er in the marketing Of the crop. The
great exports of raw cotton to feed
the millions Of spindles in foreign
countries largely go from the ports of
Texas.
If The exports are checked by
reason of the slow movement in the
interior due to the united effort of
the farmers, it reduces the opportun-
lty OF the exporters and foreign
splnncrs to accumulate large supplies
Of raw cotton during a short period
OF time, and then Use their strength
to hammer the life out Of the spot
market. Keep the demand active by
limiting the supply of The raw mater
ial each month.
Maintain high and stable prices
throughout the entire selling season
OF ten months, and stop the bad policy
OF allowing speculative, fluctuating
market to exist by selling a twelve
months supply in four months. 1t
is all matter Of warehousing, financ-
ing and slow selling to win the fif-
teen cents minimum this season, and
The Cotton Journal has joined in the
fight to stay.

Market the Crop Slowly.

There is but one effective way to
maintain high average Level Of pric-
es this season, and that is market the
crop slowly in September, October
and November. There are more ware
houses in which cotton can now be
stored in the south than ever before.
There is more money in Southern
banks to aid in financing the cotton
to be held by the farmers and stored
in these warehouses than ever before.
The bankers Of the south have this
year expressed greater willingness
to advance money on cotton in stor-
age than ever before. It is now an
easy matter to store 500-pound bale
Of cotton in warehouse and borrow
from the local bank loan Of $50, at
from q to 8 per cent per annum
Counting storage, insurance and in
terest OH bale Of cotton if held on
an average of six months, it means an
expense of considerably less than one
cent per pound. BY holding and sell
ing slowly it means O gain at from 3
to 4 cents per pound over the prices
that will be realized if the crop ia
rushed on the market in large quanti-
ties during the next three months. It

CONTRACT LABOR.
Agents of immigration Bureau Served
Several Warrants in Clifton.

On last Thursday evening Geo. w.
Webb, inspector in charge of the
United States immigration bureau,
with headquarters at Tucson, G. T.
Cornell, inspector at Douglas, J. j.
Murphy, inspector at Tucson, and A.
A. Musgraves, clerk of the board at
Tucson, arrived in Clifton. On Fri
day morning the mission of their
visit was disclosed when they began
to serve warrants on number of the
employees of the A. G. company, who
have not been in this country very
long, charging them with having en-
tered the United States in violat ton
of the contract labor laws.
1t is reported that ten warrants
were served, seyen of them being
Scotch and three Spaniards. Among
those upon whom warrants were
served are: P. W. G. Ponton, J. D.
Archibald, Robert Russell, A. w.
Liddle, 7. Broom, Neill and Forsyth.
Shortly after the first warrant was
served there was considerable con-
fusion among those who recently ar
rived from Scotland, as it was not
known who was wanted nor just how
many warrants would be served.
Various reports placed the number
near twenty, but it was finally learn
ed that only seven were served.
Each party upon whom warrants
we're served were taken to the Cen
trail Hotel and confined in rooms I'M
til they could be examined and their
testimony taken. During confine-
ment they were denied intercourse
with friends. After examination
they we're released on bond furnished
by the A. c. company.
For the past few years there has
been considerable talk about con-
tract labor entering Clifton, and it
was from these reports that the i'm
migration inspectors worked up their
case. 1t is rumored that the agents
are in possession of one of the con-
tracts, but this is only surmised, as the
immigration agent refused to make
other hand officials of the Arizona
Copper company say that no con-
tracts have ever been issued, and no
contract can be in evidence.
The immigration board remained
here several days taking testimony
and completing their work. The
testimony and evidence in the case
will be submitted to the secretary of
the department of commerce of
labor at Washington for his decision.
1t will probably be two weeks before
the decision will be rendered.
Just what was learned from the
gentlemen who were put through
a most trying and severe examina-
ton, is not known to any one except
those directly interested.
The three Spaniards, who were ar
rested at Metcalf, had previously
been debarred at Ell Paso by the
special board of immigration service.
They were shipped back to Mexico,
but returned. They will be deported
again.
In the event of the secretary of
the department of commerce of
labor at Washington rendering a
decision against the parties upon
whom warrants were served, they
will be deported and cannot re- enter
the United States in less than year
and the company will be subject to a
fine of $1,000 in each case.

CattIemen Annoyed by WoOdchOppers.

G. E. Head, a Cattleman from the
Rattlesnake country, visited Clifton
this week and made the ERA pleas
ant call. Mr.. Head reports the range
in excellent condition and says that
cattle were never in better shape.
Mr. Head informed the ERA re porter
that the cattlemen have been annoy
ed considerably of late by Mexican
woodchoppers, who have killed a num-
Der of cattle on the range. A close
watch is being kept by the cattlemen,
but the range is so extensive that it
is difficult to capture the thieves.
A party of cowboys were recently
riding on the range when they came
across a Mexican who had d pack
animal loaded with meat. They cap
tured him and took him to the ranch,
where an investigation disclosed the
fact that the meat was venison and
not beef, as was surmised. The Mex
lean was then escorted to town and
turned over to the officers. He was
tried last week and fined for killing
deer out of season.
In many sections cattlemen don't
take the trouble to capture cattle
rustlers, but usually settle the mat
ter on the ground. A close watch is
now being kept by the cattlemen and
a diligent effort will be made to APP
prehend the woodchoppers or any one
else engaged in Strengthening cattle
on the range.

THE Iowa legislature will introduce
bill providing for trial marriages
before the legislature adjourns, and
its enactment into law will be urged
by some of the prominent members
of the body. The bill will provide
that a marriage contract may be
entered into by man and a woman
for period of five years, and that at
the end of the five years the husband
and wife may renew the contract if
they so desire. Many members of
the legislature are giving the ques-
tion of trial marriages serious study,
and the legislature has made an APP
preparation to secure a copy of the
trial marriage bill which was intro
duced in the South Dakota legisia-
ture. Evidently some of the Iowa
legislators think they married the
wrong girl.

BLUE CREEK SHOOTING.
Between Ross Sloan and Grover Cara.
way,

Last Friday evening at 7:3O Ross
country, shot and instantly killed
Grover Caraway, a cow-puncher en-
ployed on the Martin and Sloan
ranch. The shooting was a great
surprise to their friends. as it was
known that. they were the best of
friends. An old gentleman, Mr..
Cureton, and a young boy were the only
eye witnesses. Sloan and Caraway
left the ranch the day before for
Cliff, N. NJ, where they had a good
time and started for home Thursday
night. They did not arrive home
that night, as they lost the trail, con-
sequently did not return to the ranch
until late In the afternoon Friday
When they arrived Sloan and several
other boys at the ranch unsaddled
the horses, while Caraway went to
the house to prepare supper. He
did not wait for Sloan and was eat
ing when he came in. A few words
passed between them and Grover got
sore and offered to fight it cut, but
only little rough house work took
place. In the quarrel a gun was dis
charged and the lamp went out.
Everything was in darkness for few
minutes until the lamp could be
lighted 1t is said that more words
took place and Caraway made de-
clarations, at the same time being in
possession of a gun. Caraway wanted
to fight, but Sloan considered himself
too light to tackle Caraway, who was
big man. Sloan went to his room
and secured a gun and then returned
and fired a shot, the bullet taking eff
feet in the heart, killing Caraway
insta ntly.
After the shooting it was discover
ed that Caraway had emptied his six
shooter a few moments previous dur
ing the rough house and had made
the last gun play with an empty gun.
A coroner's inquest was held and it
is rumored that Sloan was exoner-
ated. Sloan went to Silver City and
gave himself up shortly after the
shooting. Both men are well known
by the cattlemen of this section and
are held in the highest esteem. 1t is
said, however, that Caraway was fine
fellow when sober, but when drinking
he was very quarreIsOme. He was a
rather Jolly fellow, but at times it
was difficult to tell whether he meant
what he said or not.
A coffin was sent out from Clifton
and the remains laid to rest in the
vicinity of the ranch.

SEVERAL Yaqui Indians were re-
Gently caught emptying a fifteen
pound can of cyanide of potassium
into the river at Hermosillo. They
were taken in charge by the authori-
ties and tried, and were ordered shot
and the sentence carried out. New
terror has been added to the resi-
dents of that section since the
Yaquis have discovered the deadly
nature of poison. The water has
been poisoned in many sections and
it is dangerous for visitors to make
long trips back into the mountains.
1t is learned from good authority
that the Mexican officials have found
great difficulty in determining the
friendly Yaquis from the bad ones.
In number of instances it has been
discovered that Yaquis who were
working on ranches and appeared to
be friendly, committed murder at
night. They worked all day and re-
tired at night Later they arose
and attacked the camp, numbering
and taking what they wanted. Then
they returned to their homes, and on
the following morning showed up for
work.

Joe Dial, one of the proprietors of
the Dial & Arhelger wood and coal
yard, met with an accident between
Clifton and Morenci last week that
might have been serious. He deliv-
cred some goods to customers at Mo-
renci and on the return trip, as he
was coming down the hill, the seat
broke loose and he was precipitated
head foremost down the hill. With
the exception of a few bruises on the
body he was not hurt, and after
separating himself from the boulders,
crawled back on the wagon and con-
tinued the journey home.

ONE of the good things that the
board of supervisors did for the
county officials at its recent session
was to establish a monthly pay day.
In the future all county officers can
receive their salary monthly by pre-
senting a demand to the county
treasurer. Not many counties in
Arizona can follow the footsteps of
old Graham. There will be plenty of
money around the county seat in the
future.

]. H. L. Cosper, prominent ranch
man of the Blue country, was in Cliff
ton this week on business and Incl
dentally circulated a petition asking
for the establishing of weekly mail
route between Clifton and the Luna
valley. The people along this route
have been suffering much delay in
been almost impossible of late. c. B.
Martin and Mr.. Blake, pCstmasters in
that section, have lett the country,
hence the people of that section have
been almost without mail. 1t will
also be necessary to secure new
mail carrier, as the old one has given
up the contract. The petition calls
for regular weekly mail between
this place and Luna valley, which,
with the appointment of new post
masters, will be great convenience
to the business men and citizens
throughout the entire route. The
petition is being signed and endorsed
by all business men. Mr.. Cosper in
formed the ERA representative that
the recent high water was caused by
the continuous melting of the snow
far back into the mountains. All the
snow is now gone from the foothills
and he is confident that the people
along the Frisco river can rest easy
as to floods. He says that prospects
were never brighter for the cattle
men of his section. The grass is just
fine and plenty of spring water.
