GETS
LARGE sum Of
THE SHEEPMEN
In Vicinity 100000 Sheep Are
Sheared Annually, $175,-
600 Is Spent BY the Men
Engaged In Work.
(Paoenix Gazette

"A careful, conservative estimate
of the amount of money left in Phoe-
nix each year by the sheepmen OF the
territory would place the sum be-
tween sl25.000 and sl75,000," said
Isaac Barth, a prominent Apache
county sheepman, who has some To-
600 head'of sheep at the new Queens
Creek camp, to a Gazette reporter.
The sim of money mentioned by
Mr.. Barta Is big one. but 1t Is true
beyond a doubt that the sheepmen OF
the territory who congregate in this
city annually spend considerably over
100000. Part of this money Is spent
for the sheaTing OF their sheep, all OF
which comes into this city, while the
balance of 1t Is spent by the sheep
men themselves. most Of whom keel
their families here during shearlng
season. A good majority Of the sheep.
men are wealthy and all of them are
spenders OF the first water. TIE min
ute they arrive in town there is some
thing doing, and 1t keeps up Until
they leave for their homes in differ
ent parts of the territory.
The Queen Creek camp. which is 10
Gated twenty miles east of Mesa, is a
new one, the owner of the shearine
plant being J. s. Bowen, well known
in this city. Mr.. Barth stated this
morning that Mr.. Bowen had inform
ed him that ne would shear about
24O, 900 sheep at the new camp thfs
year.
1t was about twelve years ago that
the sheepmen of Arizona began gath
ering their animals mere in the win
ter for shearing At first there were
only a few hundred, but year after
year the number increased, until now
it is estimated that there are between
soc, 900 and 100000 sheep gathered
each year in this valley. This brings
in a wonderful amount of money fol
the Phoenix people and merchants
who apparently nave not awakened tc
the full realization of what the gain
ering of sheepmen in Phoenix each
year means to the city and county.
Local people il speaking Of The ad
vantages of this city arc prone to
dwell upon the amount Of money
brought here. each year by tourists
but you very seldom hear of a sheep
man being mentioned, yet it is safe to
say that the sheepmen VINO come here
each winter, a mere handful in all
spend half again as much money
while here as all the tourists put TO-
gether.

ESCAPED PRISONER or
ARIZONA RETURNED
After Lot of Red Tapel Valen-
zueIa viii Go Back. To
PenitentiaY,

PHOENIX, Feb. 2S.&After yards of
red tape had been unrolled and the
matter had been considered for two
months, the office of the governor
has been notified by the state depart
ment at Washington that the Mexican
government has finally decided to
grant papers for the extradition of
Rafael Valenzuela, an escaped convict
from the Yuma penitentiary, who is
being held by the Mexican authorities
in Nogales, Sonora.
Valenzuela was sentenced to the
pen from. this country for burglary
committed at Tempe, and had but a
short time to serve when he escaped
a couple of months ago. The escape
was easy, as the man had been made
a trusty, with the liberty of the pris-
on. A description of him was seat all
over the country, and short time
after he was arrested at Hermosillo,
from there being taken to Nogales
pending the arrival Of an American
officer to take aim back to Yuma.
Captain Rynning, superintendent of
the penitentiary, being on good terms
with all the Mexican officials, endeay-
ored to get the man without the prop
er papers, but was turned down. Con-
sequently a petition was forwarded
to the state department in Washing
ton, through Governor Kibbey, asking
for requisition papers. Finally they
were granted by the department, the
governors office being notified to the
effect this morning. Captain Ryn-
ming of the prison win go to Nogales
after the man.

chosen for me there was always
one monotonous resuIt--the bicycle

Sometimes its wires were so sprung

POLES ALONG CANAL
ARE A NUISANCE
And Maricopa Supervisors Or
der Telephone Manager
To Remove Them.

PHOENIX, Feb. 2S.-Various com
plants having been received from
farmers who use the county roads
and by whom the board of supervisors
isheld largely responsible for their
condition, Chairman Orme and Super
visor Steward today addressed a let
ter to Superintendent Vernon L.
Clark of the Consolidated Telephone,
Telegraph and Electric company, in
forming him that telephone poles
which nave been placed in the county
road along the Maricopa canal west
from the northeast corner of section
"a must be removed.
Instead of placing their poles along
the opposite side Of the road, en-
ployes of the Consolidated company
took advantage of cleared ground and
erected them along the bank OF the
canal in such a manner that tney now
stand near the center of the road.
In their letter to superintendent
Clark, Chairman Orme and Supervisor
Steward state that the foles have
been placed "in such position as TO
seriously interfere and impede travel
and traffic, and mourning danger TO
anyone travelling along said road"
Clark's attention is called to the
opposite side of the road along the
Maricopa canal, where it is said there
is plenty of room for the line of poles
without interfering with those who
haye occasion to travel along that
highway.
Clark is ordered to remove the
poles and place them where they will
not interfere with the rights of trav.
elers. His attention is also called IA
plain terms to the conditions of the
franchise granted the Consolidated
company by the supervisors, under
the terms of which the Consolidated
company agrees to construct its lines
in such a manner as not TO interfere
with travel or destroy the value OF
county roads.
Farmers have complained recently
aboul this particular line of poles. 1t
is said that there are similar griev-
ances about to be stated to the su,
peryisors.

WARM TIME IS
EXPECTED At
TUCSON TODAY
Republican Committee Meet
inu Is Likely To Produce
More Or Less Political Heat
Over instructions.

TUCSON. FEB, 2s.--There Ii n re-
port Ia circulation that Governor Jos.
II, kibhey. who IL nov enroute nome
from trip 20 Waahington where he
had conference with President
Roosevelt win arrive in Tucson on
Saturday IN time 10 attend the meet
I ing OF the Republican Territorial ex-
eeutive eomEittee which win be neld
here.
Il was reported also that the rea-
con the meeting Ot the committee
was acid last Saturday was due
to the fact that Il was desired to
give Governor kibbey an opportunity
to be present. The governor Is not
member of the committee but be-
ing the head OF the party In the Ter
ritory, II is but natural that he would
attend the meeting ac which the APP
portionmeut of delegates and the
place OF meeting for the Republican
Territorial convention win be decided
upon.
Chairman H B. Tenney OF the
committee stated, however, thar Inc
reason or the postponement of the
committee meeting for one week was
that Secretary Mauk had made an
error in sending out the official no
tees. and had put Feb. 20 instead OF
Feb. % as the date.
There is a well defined rumor that
the friends of Taft or the Federal
crowd as they are generally called
will endeavor to have passed by the
committee a resolution pledging their
support to Taft in his candidacy for
Dav- ha
presidency. a..... ....s
Such a motion is certain to be OPP
posed in the committee as the For
aker Republicans, or the anti-Federal
crowd will do all in their power 10
hold Arizona in line for their man.
An endorsement of Taft by the Ter
ritorial committee would indicate
strongly that the Arizona delegation
to the Republican national cOnyen-
ton will go instructed.
However the battle in the executive
committee meeting On Saturday,
should one occur, will be but the
forerunnsC of the fight, which is
promised on the convention floor
when the Republicans of the Terri
tory have their gathering this spring
which may be in Tucson

of Phoenix, the opposition to Cover
nor Kibbey and the Federal APP
pointees in the Territory will make a
hard fight for uninstructed delegation
which would be in effect a Foraker
delegation as the Ohio Senator would
then at least receive complimentary
vote from the Arizona delegation.

there vii have been planted during
the past year in this city the surpris-
ing total of 10000 trees. That is,
during the past year, every other man,
woman and child has been represent
ed either in person or by proxy with
new tree that win add to the fol-
iage of the city within very few
years.
eThe efforts that are. being made at
the university in the direction of
planting trees that will make Tucson
great winter city, as well as the
unsurpassedly beautiful green city
it is in summer, should be heartily
encouraged by the town. In fact IL
is a matter Of municipal importance.
q have not the figures at Sand to
tell Just how many of the ten thous-
and shrubs and trees are Of the winter
variety, but undoubtedly large per-
centage of them are A little atten-
ton to that specific phase of the
planting will shortly make this the
Garden spot of the country.
For any place in the world of 25,-
900 people 10000 new trees in one
year is a fine record, but it is excep-
tionally good for Arizona"
