Columbus, o., March 4.-The Repub-
licans of Ohio, who met here In state
convention, dealt blow to the inter
ests of Senators Foraker and Dick by
wiping off the state central committee
every man who was known to have
any bias in their favor. OF the TWEEN
ty-oAe members Of the new commit
tee eleven were reelected, and of those
dropped seven were Foraker men-in
fact, all the Foraker men on the COM
mittee. The other three who were not
reelected were for Taft, and their re-
tirement was caused by local condi-
lions alone Every member of the
new committee is Taft man. At a
meeting Of the committee after the ad-
journment Of the convention Walter F.
Brown of Toledo was reelected chair
man and Malcolm Krashner of Column
bus secretary.
The pictures of Senators Foraker and
Dick were hung in the convention hall,
and the platform proposed had plank
commenting the "Ohio representatives
in congress" without, however, men
tioning any Of them by name. At the
same time another plank in the plat
form strongly Endorsed the passage Of
the railway rate bill, against which

Sing Songs For Taft.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman Walter f. Brown of the
state central committee. The Column
bus Republican Glee club sang several
selections, the most popular of them
being 'The Star Spangled Banner"
| and I'VE Are Wearing Our Hearts
Away For You, Billy Taft"
When the glee club retired from the
rostrum, Chairman Brown announced
that the temporary organization of the
convention would be:
Chairman, James r. Garfield. secre-
tary of the interior, and secretary, II.
NJ. Switzer
Want Ohio Man In White House.
The mention of Secretary Garfeld's
name was the signal for an outburst
of applause, which was deepened when
he advanced to the front of the plat
form to deliver his address. Cheers
greeted the name Of Taft, and the pre-
diction that Ohio was about to furnish
another candidate for president Great
ed bedlam Of approval.
When the secretary had ended his
speech, in which he lauded the record
of the Republican party in the state
and the nation. the various districts
presented the names of the committee
men who had been selected at the eau
cuses just prior to the convention. 1t
was clear that the Foraker influence
had disappeared from the state cen
trail committee. Following the an
nouncement of the committeeman an
adjournment was taken.

Albany Legislators Hold Hearing
on Hart-AgneW Bills.
GOVERNOR STANDING FIRM.
Refuses to Give Name Of Correspond

to Defeat Antibsttins Measures.
Urges Passage Of Proposed Acts.

Albany, N. Y, March 4.-The hear
ing on the Hart-Agnew antirace track
betting bills before the code commit
tees Of the two houses brought an even
larger crowd than was here to argue
for and against the bills two weeks
ago. The present hearing was to have
been the final one, but Senator Grady
obtained promise of supplementary
hearing on one of the antigambling
bills on March II.
To complicate the situation the jul
dietary committee of the senate fixed
March II for a hearing on the amend
ments proposed to the Percy Gray law.
Refusing to give the name of the
correspondent who called himself "a
plain gambler and charged that cor
ruption fund had been raised to defeat
the antibetting bills, Governor Hughes
sent reply to the assembly. The gov
ernor declared that to comply with the
request contained in the Hamm ond res
olution could serve no useful purpose,
and then he proceeded to emphasize
anew his demand for legislation that
will put an end to bookmaking at the
race tracks

Governor Gets ADVANTAGE.

The Hammond resolution was adopt
ed In the assembly, 1t was said, with
the avowed purpose of putting the
governor In hole" 1t furnished, in
fact, an opportunity which Governor
Hughes was not slow to improve to
stimulate interest in his antigambling
programme. Some of the race track
supporters feared that this would be
the case when they learned of the res
olution.
Approaching their tactical mistake
when it was too late, the assemblymen
decided to accept the governors reply
as it stood and call the incident closed.
Speaker Wadsworth. whose father is
member of the state racing commits
sion, explained that the charge made
in the letter published anonymously
would not have excited any attention
but for the fact that 1t had been given
out from the executive chamber. In
the circumstances, the speaker said,
the assembly was forced to take cog
nizance of the accusation, which was
one that reflected severely on the men,
bers Of that body.

smaller way with the most flattering
results.
The project is yet in it's incipiency
and II. B. Snyder, president Of the
company. will leave at once for the east
where he expects to interest ample
capital 1t will therefore be the bring
ing of new money into the valley as
well as making more with that which
is brought. Mr. Snyder is a man Of
mature years and has spent the great
er portion of his life in the eastern
business centers where he has been
connected with large industrial affairs,
to the benefit of himself and others.
He came here last winter, seeking a
more congenial climate and the OPP
portunities in evidence are so numer-
Gus he cannot refrain from taking adj
vantage of some Of them. His success
in former undertakings is at least an
augury of good judgment in this.
The vice president of the company is
Elliot Evans, a we'll known realty deal
er and dairyman who has had large
experience in this valley and is well
informed as to it's possibilities. The
secretary is George w. Cowgirl, also
secretary of the Phoenix board of trade
and the treasurer is Lloyd Christy,
cashier of the Valley Bank, in whose
hands the funds of the company can
well be trusted.
The capital stock of the corporation
lis 100000, one half of which is pre-
ferred stock and the other half COM
mon stock, par value being $40 The
preferred stock receives per cent pro-
fit first, then he common receives 8
per cent and thereafter any profits in
the business of any one year are equal
ly divided. At the present time there
is no common stock for sale and Mr..
Snyder expects to place the major
part of the preferred stock in the east.
The company thus far has no hold
ings except its stock, but expects to
have in the near future. 1t will buy
valley lands depending upon them en-
tirely both summer and winter, thus
eliminating the speculation of the
range sheep business, which has some
times netted enormous profits and at
others stood heavy losses. The valley
sheep ranch is practically a mathemat-
ical proposition. There is little in con-
nection with it that cannot be reduced
to figures at any and all times. In
fact the only thing that seems depend
ent upon luck, hazard or other chance
| is the acutal management of the sheep
Arizona republican., 1908-06-08

Mr.. Snyder is no sheep herder and
does not expect to be but that is a class
of skilled labor that can be hired for
reasonable money, as well as practical
farmers and irrigators. The water
supply here is now a guaranteed as
surance The land can be had at a
reasonable Drice-half what it will cost
two or tire years or perhaps even one
year later. The market here is good
and for spring lambs, owing to the
climate and seasons, this valley can
furnish the choicest stock for all the
markets from Kansas City west. at
seasons when lambs are scarce else
where and the price consequently high.
1t is the purpose of the Arizona Sheep
company to handle its enterprise on
scientific lines and get the best there
is in the business in the way of re-
suits. 1t is a fact not generally known
perhaps, that sheep are more free from
disease here than almost anywhere
in the world. Scabies, the only dis
ease that has ever bothered to a great
extent, has been eliminated and with
the sheep confined to pasture 1t can
be easily kept out. Moreover. in this
climate it has been demonstrated that
three crops of lambs can be raised in
two years, a thing that is impractic-
able in most countries, and that with
out deterioration of the flocks. Anoth-
er feature is that sheep are more pro-
| life here than in most places. An in
Grease of $50 per cent annually, with
one lamb crop, is by no means unusual
and in respect of the quality Of the
lambs for market, this valley defies
the world to beat it, either in the NUT
ton qaulity or in avoirdupois and it is
doubtful if it can be equalled in many
places.
The question is then resolved to one
of the cost of the investment and the
returns that may be expected. Recent
ly Phoenix gentleman experienced in
the sheep business took the trouble to
prepare an estimate on just such an
investment as the Arizona Sheep COM
pany has undertaken. The estimate in
cluded $50 acres of land at 800 per
acre and was figured on the basis of
eight ewes and their offspring to the
acre, though it is said by at least two
men who have tried it that an acre
of alfalfa will maintain ten ewes COM
| fortably and not hurt the alfalfa if IL
| is properly handled by successive pas
turing The result of the figures for
two years, allowing for three lamb
