Board of Trade Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Board of Trade was held at the Board rooms on Tuesday evening with a good attendance of Directors.
 Forest Supervisor Wilson, who was present, informed the Board that he had taken up with the quest of members of the Board for eastern quail with which to stock the local covers. It has been an idea among the local sport men for some time past that the Gov ernment might be interested, in an effort to introduce the Bob White, or eastern variety of quail.
 The covers along the Santa Cruz River and the adjacent foot-hill country offer ideal conditions for the rapid propigation of these birds, and with this end in view Supervisor Wilson was appealed too and asked to ascertain if the Forest Service would not take the matter up and place a few dozen pairs of such birds on the Forests in this section. Members of the Board are also hopeful of being able to get the Government to in- troduce other game birds from time to time, and thus increase greatly the already attractive list of game birds to be found within the county.
 While realizing that pushing the business interests of the commun- ity must be it's chief aim, the Board of Trade believes in assisting and boosting anything which tends to give pleasure and recreation to the people of Santa Cruz county.
 Owing to the tight money con- ditions the Board has not felt it advisable to ask for money to push advertising plans under consider ation, but when the money situa- ton grows better the Board hopes to take up some new features of advertising, which it believes will be the means of bringing many new people to this section.

Oregon Stock Growers Plan War on
 Wolves and Coyotes.

The offering of bounties for the scalps of predatory animals has so often failed to accomplish the good hoped for that the bounty plan has lost favor in many localities. The Wool Growers Association of Ore gon has just gone on record at its recent meeting at The Dalles as favoring the abandonment of the bounty system and substituting the system of killing the animals by private effort and employment of professional hunters. The As sociation will take up the work, and ask assistance from the Ma tional Association.
 J. N. Burgess, President of the Association estimates that Oregon sheep owners lost the past year $25O,OO0 by predatory animals, and that the loss of other farm stock, including poultry, would in crease the loss to half million dollars.
 The United States Forest Service has demonstrated that efficient work can be done by trained hunt CTS who are sent to the ranges to make a special business of killing wolves, and such other denizens of the forests as prey on hocks of sheep. A number of such hunters are now at work, and they are ridding some of the ranges very rapidly of the animals which do so much damage each year. Wolves are tracked to their dens, the pick and shovel as we'll as the rifle are brought into play, and the young are found and destroyed. A cam

WE LOSE!
Pima and Santa Cruz Must Dig Up.

An Associated Press dispatch to The Tucson Citizen Tuesday from Washington stated that the United States Supreme Court decided against Pima county in the famous narrow gauge bond suit involving the principle and accrued interest on $15O,OOO worth of bonds issued in 1883.
 The principal and interest on the bonds amounts at the present time to approximately $32O,0OO.
 This sum Pima county must pay for every legal resort has been ex- hausted. Santa Cruz county, which at the time of the issuance of the bond was part of Pima county must pay its pro rata, which is 22.415 per cent or ap- proximately $71, FPS.
 There is a possibility that Con gress might be prevailed upon to afford some relief, but this is the only ray of hope.
 For the enormous sum which Pi- ma county and Santa Cruz must pay. they have only the memory of narrow guage road that was constructed but 10 miles out from Tucson.
 Exhausting every legal resource and fighting for years in the courts payment on bonds from which Pi- ma county derived absolutely no benefit and carrying the case three different times to the Supreme Court of the United States, the final decision handed down Tues <1o h1 I,, tr,h L., land marks the end of the matter in legal way and Pima county is a heavy loser. Every effort was made to win for the county but in each instance the verdict of the highest court was against this county.
 These bonds run 50 years and bear three per cent interest and consequently they will not be due yet for a number of years. How ever, the interest continues to aug ment and provision will have to be made to care for 1t. It is quite probable that the aid of the Terri tory will be invoked to help out the county in it's difficulty.
 Hopes and expectations were high nearly quarter of century ago when the narrow gauge rail- road construction was commenced. The line was to connect Tucson and Globe, says the Citizen. The county aided the project by issuing $15O,OOO worth of three per cent bonds. The promoters built 10 miles of railroad, ran a special train over this portion of the road tl had the bonds and Pima county had but a portion of the road. The county protested legally against paying the bonds, claiming they were invalid, but after all the years, the final decision has come that the county must make good the amount of the bond together with all the interest.

Review Of Prices and Conditions Of
the Week.

Kansas City, Oct. 21.-Last week was
another big one in cattle receipts here.
90,S00 head, including 1850 calves.
The market declined 10 to 25 cents on
range killing steers and cows. and
medium to common stock and feeding
cattle. but the best country grades held
steady. Some Colorado exhibits in the
range division at the American Royal
show sold at s4.75 to s5.O5. but the sales
on the general market ranged from
1886 to $500. The supply today is
20.0o0 head. including 1000 calves, mar
ket about steady. Some Utah steers
weighing $50 to 925 pounds sold to
country buyers at s4.1O to S425. Colo
RADIO beef steers recently have sold at
$500 to $3.50, COWS $2.75 to $3.50, East
ern Colorado killers A.25. stockers $3.50
to 4.25. Panhandle cows S2.15 to s3.25.
the latter price for several trains OF

indications favor fairly good receipts
from the range country as long as the
weather holds good, but run from Kan
sas pastures is about over. and quar-
antine receipts will be of small volume
from now on. The demand from the
country holds up good in spite of high
corn, trade in this class last week ex-
ceeding 1000 car loads, and market
strong today.
Sheep supplies are not as. heavy as
a few weeks ago. and the market here

ply today is 1000 head, market strong.
lambs for slaughter at 500 to s7.25.

There are plenty of orders from the
country to absorb the proportion of
that class. lambs going at s6.25 to $3.50.
a few common light lambs under $500.
yearlings up 10 $3.50, good breeding
ewes s5.25 to s5.75. common and aged

now running slightly ahead of this
