Monday evening the Town Coun-
Gil met in regular monthly session,
and transacted considerable i'm
portant business. Among other
matters was adoption of a resolu-
ton instructing the Town Clerk to
notify Mrs. Dessart, owner of the
property on the west side of the
arroyo, facing the post office and ex-
tending through to Terrace avenue
1.-THE premises known as "the
colony") to have the buildings
vacated within thirty days, after
which time they are to be demol-
ished.
The bid OF Wallace, Glore 81
Summerhayes, engineers, for the
work of establishing elevations for
a sewer system was accepted, and
the ordinance committee was in
structed to draw an ordinance
covering the proposition.
BY virtue of the power vested in
the board by Paragraph 275 of the
Criminal Code of Arizona Terri
tory, a resolution was adopted ex-
tending to one mile from any school
house or public building the pro-
hibited limit within which houses
of prostitution will be tolerated,
and the officers were instructed to
notify all concerned.

KANSAS Cry, July 81 1905
Cattle receipts this week are again
small, which has prevented any
further declines in the market, al
though prices have been uneven
from day to day, and do not show
any material advance for the week.
The fact that pastures are good
and cattle doing we'll has been
against heavy shipments from most
of the Kansas City territory.
Shippers also figure that consump-
ton Of meats has reached its low
est ebb, the class of people now
eating meats being those who
would eat it at most any price,
while the consumption will neces-
sarily increase as the meat eaters
are recruited from the ranks of the
non-meat eaters with the advent
of lower prices. Even if the mar
ket is lower a few wseks hence, in
creased weight of cattle will be n
sufficient recompenSe for waiting.
Top fed steers bring 81, 20, medium
steers $500 to $3.50, grass steers
from Kansas and the Panhandle
country 1915 to $3.50, grass cows
$3.50 to $3.50, bulls 81 to $3.50,
veal calves $500 to $685.. Trade
in country kinds is increasing each
week, although it has not yet
reached any considerable volume
Stockers bring $500 to 1925, feed
ers 1895 to $4.75.
Sheep anu lambs have been sell
ing strong each day this week, and
while natives have made up most
Of the supply, several droves OF
range sheep have sold to good ad-
vantage. Ten cars of the Lawson
wethers from Utah sold here yes
terday at S4.35, 95lb., and a band
of 92lb. Texas muttons brought
$4.40 today. Arizona ewes sold at
$4.25 early in the week, and Ari'
iona lambs at $3.50 to $6.15 on
different days, top native spring
lambs 1925. Choice Utah lambs
would probably reach $6,40 today
There has been some trade in stock
grades of sheep and lambs, and or
ders have been placed here already
for stuff of this character to bt
filled later this fall.

The department. of the interi-
or has issued pamphlet show
ing the relative elimination of
boys and girls in the schools
throughout the country. 1t ap
pears from the figures given
that very much larger per
cent. of boys drop out of school
before reaching the higher
grades than girls. Not only do
fewer girls drop out, but fully a
third more of them enter school
than boys. No causes are as
signed, nor any valuable con-
clusions drawn in the pamphlet
only "facts and figures" set
forth. Observation confirms
the correctness of the general
facts so far as this section of
the country is concerned. But
a very small per cent. of the
members of the graduating
classes Of the graded schools are
boys. The reason why so many
more boys than girls leave
school before completing the
prescribed courses is not far to
seek. 1t is not because boys are
less ambitious than girls to ac.
quire an education, nor is it be-
cause parents are naturally dis
posed to discriminate against
their sons and in favor of their
daughters in the matter of allow
ing them to avail themselves of
local educational ADVANTAGES.
The trouble with the Southern
boy at least, is his environments.
So many of our boys are forced
TO quit school and become wage
earners. Others are largely de-
pendent OH them for a living.
AS the country becomes more
prosperous however, we may ex.
pect to see marked improvement
in the conditions noted.
