Cattle Shipments This Spring.

It appears to be the opinion of cat tie men that for the May and June delivery of feeders to Western Colo rado, Wyoming and Western Nebraska rangers will be fully 100000 head from West Texas, New Mexico, ArI- zona and Mexico. That many are already contracted for. These con- tracts are for one. two and three year old steers with few COWS and heifers
 This springs shipment will be con- siderably largerthan these of last year. with selling price of about Sl.50 gold more per head 4ll around. Year ling steers are now bringing from Sl4 to $I5; two year olds as high as SIS. and three olds from $2I to S22-the average price all around being about $l5.50 gold per head.
 Probably third of the entire shipment this year will be from Mex Chihuahua Enterprise.

Real Estate kIng In Arizona.
CLERK

In the ainual report of Territorial Auditor Ely the popular opinion in Arizona that the greatest source of it's wealth are the mines is dispelled, the actual figures showing that taxes are paid on over SlO.O00,000 more real estate and improvements than mines These facts together with others are found in the following sec tion of Ely's report:

Grand Canyon Region Rich Tn Minerals

With the advent of spring mining and prospecting in the Grand Canyon section will commence. This Is un ideal region for the prospector and mining man. It is almost a virgin field, but enough exploration work has been done to thoroughly demonstrate it's mineral richness. Copper deposits are there that need but the magic wand of capital to convert into pro ducers equal to the United Verde or the Copper Queen. Asbestos of a quality superior to any heretofore dis covered is found in large quantities but the insccessibility of :he country has been a drawback to the invest ment of capitai. Platinum is also found in paying quantities. Los An geles men who own mine containing this metal, near Grand Canyon, are preparing to begin operations, board ing house and sleeping quarters for the accommodation of empioyes now bein g in course of construction.
 Men well posted in mining say that it is a most promising region, and that it is only a question of tima when capital will be enlisted to aid in the development ct it's vast mineral re- l sourcea.-William News.

vERnoN COUNTY WINS CASES
vernon-Monroe County Controversy De-
cided by Judge Hiebee

At La Crosse on Monday Judge Hig-
bee decided the eertiorari case brought
by Monroe county against Vernon, and
the state board of control in favor of
Vernon county. This involved the mat
ter of residence and support of CLAUS
Sletter, insane. District Attorney Ben
nett long ago moved to Quash the writ
of certiorari and the matter was argued
September 18th at La Crosse. This ends
for the time being the controversy.
There are two courses still open to
Monroe county, viz, appeal from Judge
Higbee's decision and appeal from the
decision of the board of control and a
new trial of the same question of fact
before jury in the circuit court of
Monroe county. Mr.. Naynor attorney
for Monroe county in the matter, Is
said.to have announced that he will ap-
peal and have the question passed upon
by jury.
Judge Higbee also on Monday an
nounced his decision sustaining dis
trict attorney Benefits contention in
the case of the State versus Buchholz.
In this action the o. rict attorney
brought suit for the be "a ent of the eoun-
ty to recover $500 on . forfeited bond.
The defendant by answer sci up various
matters that were not regarded by the
district attorney as constituting legal
defense but rather matters which might
appeal to the courts discretion to mo-
dify the judgement and remit part IF
the penalty. Accordingly motion was
made 70 strike out the answer as frivo-
ious and for judgment according to the
demand Of the complaint. This judg-
ment was granted by the. court.

A GREAT BOON FOR WEED GROWERS
Tobacco Harvest Continues Under Best
of Conditions

Since the biting frost of month ago
the conditions for tobacco growth ana
harvest have been mos. propitious, and
these have brought renewed courage
and faith to the cultivators of this
stable farm product. The gentle rains,
warmth and sunshine have given plants
a new vigor and broadened the leaves
and ripened the plants. There has been
a steady development in quantity and
quality. and still the plants TIRE grow
ing. The fields yet unharvested give
better promise than those earlier har-
vested. This development has been
very beneficent in removing the dam
age first thought to have been wrought
by frost. If fair weather continues
throughout the present week there will
be little tobacco standing in the fields
when next Sunday approaches. Be-
cause of these substantial conditions
for month past there is rejoicing by
growers and dealers. So far as we
have learned there has been no great
movement in buying of late, at least in
this immediate locality.
Experiments in various phases of to-
bGcco growing, and which have been
conducted by the horticultural depart
ment of the agricultural experiment
station of the University of Wisconsin
for several years, are to be continued
and developed along new lines during
the coming season. The work in seed
improvement will be continued, cross
breeding will be followed to secure bet
ter strains, and experiments in coop
GRAFTON with farmers on the manage
ment of plant beds ara now in the pre-
Gminary stages.
Edgerton Reporter: The buying
movement has been pushed along under
high pressure again this week though
there are some Indications that the
rush to the green fields will soon com
mence to subside for many of the deal
ers operating have their orders about
filled. Under the stress Of lively com
petition prices have crowded up to little
higher figures and the bulk of the
sales are above the 10 cent mark now.
Some sections outside of the frost lin.
its are pretty well cleaned up and es-
Inmates are made that half the crop il
under contract to date. The harvest is
going on rapidly and by the close OF the
week the bulk of the crop is destined
to be secured. The warm, sultry wealth
er this week has brought just such con
ditions that produce shed burn when
the sheds are crowded, and it is by nc
means improbable that some damage
has been sustained from this source.

Last weeks issue of the Cashton
Record contains a specially illustrated
write-up of the new muni pal plant in
stalled at that place. The municipal
building, costing 81, 500, was completed
last week by Contractor Tulloch. Among
other things the Record says: ut is
now estimated that the total cost will
be near the Sl8, 900 mark, which amount
added to the cost of the lots will bring
the valuation to $26, 900. For p town
of Cashton's size this is magnificent
piece of public property and the people
may justly point with pride TO it, even
if il did cost a handsome figure. We
are now assured Of fine water, excel
