EXHIBITS WILL BE EXTENSIVE AT
 B|G FAIR

The woman's department at the territorial fair has always been a big feature at the exhibition hall The superintendent, Mrs. J. H. MeClin- toek, is now ready to receive entries.
 The Pacific Gas and Electric com pany will also offer a gas range again this year to Phoenix competitors only, for the best essay or composition on the subject "Why Use Cas-"
 The educational department under Kirk T. Mooire, territorial superin- tendent, will be handled similarly to former methods but of course there is always the ambition for improvement, and it has never been a department that Arizona need be ashamed of, having been a good advertisement of the Arizona schools every year.
 The agricultural department will be under Professor Wilson of the expert ment station as heretofore and he proposes to make it much bigger and better than ever before. He has add ed a number of new premiums, one line in particular being for eucalyp- tus. He expects good exhibits from Yuma and the upper Gila valley, while Verde valley may be depended upon to come down after the apple prem iums. In this connection it is only fair to say that heretofore the little lonesome agricultural exhibits from COehise, Apache, Yavapai and other mountain counties, have been en- tirely creditable, and in some in- stances remarkable, when the limited amount of agriculture and the sea- sons conditions are taken into con sideration. There is no reason why any or all the counties in the terri tory should not get into the run ming on agricultural exhibits, even if the displays are not large or varied.

SKUNK IN SHAT I BITES MINING
 OPERATOR
Hurries to Chicago To Take Treatment
 Against Rabies
tFrom Tuesday,s DaiIyl


 Another victim of the bite of the hydrophobia skunk reached Prescott yesterday when J. R. Boyer, young mining man, announced to friends here that he had accidentally been bitten by one of these deadly little animals. He gave but meagre par ticulars of the affair and left yester- day for Chicago, where he will sub nit to the Pasteur treatment.
 MT. Boyer says that he was fill ing a contract for the Federal Min ing company on Black Hawk mine, on Cherry creek, when he was bitten. He was going to the bottom of an incline shaft at the time and was feeling his way down when at a point about 30 feet deep, alter plae- ing his left hand in the timbers to support himself, it was seized by the animal. He naturally jerked his hand away and was mortified to see hang ing to his thumb a small spotted skunk, known as the hydrophobia kind. It held with its teeth for a few seconds and then released its grip, dropping to the bottom below.
 He immediately aseended and made the announcement to his parents and friends and after a few hours of preparation he decided to come to Prescott and take the first train to Chicago for medical attention. His version of the accident is that the animal that bit him was attracted to that place from the fact that sev- eral of the men after eating their lunches had thrown the unused food back in the timbers and the animal had gone there to eat the food.
 MT. Boyer was accompanied to Chi eago yesterday by his devoted wife, who seems to realize the gravity of the situation to her husband. While he treats the matter seriously he is in no way alarmed, believing that after he submits to the treatment he will never experience any after eff feets from the bite. He said yester- day he immediately eauterized the wound with earbOlic acid and then burned the wound with a hot iron. Aside from a tingling sensation, reaching up the finger, he does not know that he was bitten.
 He is a son of Mir. and Mrs. J. R. Boyer, pioneer residents of Cherry Creek, both of whom arrived yes terday with him.
 Several have been bitten by the hydrophobia skunk in recent years in this section and among those who have taken the Pasteur method of treatment but one fatal case has followed, that of the little Myers child, who contrary to orders from the physicians at Chicago, exposed herself to the warm sun soon after being dismissed, and was seized with convulsions and passed away in a horrible death at her home in this city.

SERVICE IS MADE ON THE COUNTY
 SUPERVISORS
Mandamus Over Kirk land Election to Be
 Heard Nov. B
.Frnm Tuesdav-s paiIvl

Legal action was instituted yester- day against the board of supervisors of this county by the personal service upon each of the members with an application for a writ of mandamus, praying for the board of supervisors to open the ballots count the votes and declare the result of the recent local option election held at Kirkland valley on September 4th last. This action is cited to be heard before Judge Doe on November 18th. The document bears the signature of Grant Carter as the petitioner.
 Following the service of the above application another legal process &C., companies the above in the shape of petition for mandamus addressed to the board, in which the following al- legations are specified
 "That the election was authorized by the board and the same was held; that eleven days after the holding of the same, the vote was not counted; the majority of the board refusing to 80 do; that the majority of the votes cast were for prohibition; that the board should canvass the returns, declare the result and absolutely pro- hibit the sale of intoxicating liquors within the boundaries established Tn said Kirkland precinct, until a ma jority of the legal voters within that district hold an election and decIde otherwise; that the board cause an order to be published declaring the result for four successive weeks. The same signatures are attached as in the former, together with the deposition of Carter, who alleges that the con tents of both instruments are true, as to fact and allegations he makes. MT. Carter reached Prescott yester- day and the filing of the mandamus proceedings was made immediately af- ter his arrival.

BELLE GROUP NOW TURNING OUT
 BULLION
Mill on That Property Has Proven Complete
 Success
fFrom ruesday.s paiIvl

Mining men and particularly the prospector element will be interested in learning that the little mill that J. K. Miller has manufactured and placed on his Belle group of mining claims on the Santa Maria has proven success.
 Yesterday he reached the city with the first bullion received from it aad sent the bar to the mint at San Fran cisco. The simplicity of this little prospecting mill is one of it's desir- able and attractive features mechani- cally. It is designed to be csrtsd from one place to another and in the course of an hours running can grind from 100 to 200 pounds of ore, all depending upon the character of the rock.
 It was run on this basis for the first time for period of three days and gave such an excellent account of its reduction facilities that it will be run steadily hereafter. It has a mortar attachment and by a rotary movement answers the purposes admirably for a free milling process. It requires but a twO-horse power gasoline engine to propel it and the entire weight of the three pieces is less than a thousand pounds. In in- troducing this little mill MT. Miller says he desires to only pay expenses, which he has done and is opening up his properties without any cost what ever. Two men do the work in min ing and milling.

ENORMOUS WASTE OF
 FRUIT IN THE VERDE
CFrom Sundays Daily

That thousands of dollars worth of apples and peaches are going to waste in the Verde valley owing to the lack of transportation facilities for getting the product to a market, is the state ment of George W. Hance, who is one of the pioneer ranchmen in that eoun- try.
 MT. Hance arrived in the city yes terday to attend to some private busi- ness matters.
 He stated that the news, given ex- clusively in the Journal Miner sev- eral weeks ago, that in all probability canning factory would be built in the Verde valley to care for the fruit, is hailed with joy by all of the ranchers in that section.
 For years the Verde valley has been famed as a fruit country but owing to the long haul to a railway station ana the consequent heavy cost as we'll as the lact that much of the fruit spoiled while being freighted to market, the fruit ranchers have been unable to make any profit out of their orchards.
 With a factory to care for the fruit, however, that industry will be given a new impetus and it is a cer- tainty that the number of orchards in that productive valley will be great ly increased.

WOMAN'; ILLNESS ! RMINATES
 fAT ALLY
(Fron Tuesday's 6aily)

Mrs. Jeff D. Shipp, according to private advices that reached Prescott few days ago passed away at Modesto, Cal, early last week. Her death was due to asthma.
 After disposing of his extensive land and cattle interests on the Santa Maria, it was the wish of MT. Shipp to find a suitable climate for his wife. He stated before leaving Pres. colt a few months ago for that sec tion he believed her ailment would yield to that elevation.
 Mrs. Shipp was young woman of lovable and kind disposition. She was the daughter of T. H. Goodman, well known in pioneer circles along the Colorado river.
 The husband, two sons, George T. and Elton G. Shipp, survive her.
 The end came suddenly despite ev. cry medical care and attention that could be extended.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIS
 POSAL OF PARKER LOTS
(From Fridays Daily.1

The United States land office at Phoenix yesterday received a letter of instructions in the matter of the auction sale of lots in the Parker townsite in the Colorado river Indian lands, which will take place on De- eember 21, 1909. Receiver Arnold stated that between 9 and 100 let. ters are being received by the land office daily now inquiring about this sale. From all indications there will be a large crowd of people on the ground when the sale opens. It is likely that special excursions will be run out the day before, as the regular trains cannot accommodate the peo- pie.
 There has been considerable specu- lation as to whether those who have been holding lots and made improve ments will be given a preferred right of entry on the day of sale. The let ter of instructions on this point lays down a ruling in substance that a preferred right of entry will be given to those having made valuable and permanent improvements on the lots they apply for, placed there in good faith, under permits issued by the su- perintendent of the Colorado River Indian agency.
 Between now and the date of sale they must, however, make application to the land office to submit proof, which proof must show that they made due publication of their inten- tiOn to make proof that they actual ly occupied these lots and in good faith placed thereon valuable i'm prOvements, naming them. Further, that the man who makes the applica- tion is the identical person to whom such was granted, or the grantee of such person. This proof must include the testimony of at least two adver- tised witnesses.
 The appraised purchase price of the lots must be paid in advance to the receiver of the land office at the time they submit proof. Preferred rights of entry will be forfeited if the above particulars are not com piled with and the lots will be sold at public auction. The land office is instructed not to consider any pre- ferred rights of entry from now on, as publication could not be made as stipulated. There are about 200 en- tries already on lots in the Parker townsite.
 Nine lots have been withdrawn from sale. They are located so that the right of way for a canal, will in tersect them. This is an interesting item and shows further than irriga- ton plans for that section are under way with the government. The canal referred to will probably irrigate the townsite section.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. SO.- A. G.

The balloon went adrift whIIs an effort was being made to haul it down. A strong breeze was blowing and the launch was almost lifted out of the water before the balloon got away. Pillsburg was not injured.

An Exceptional Case.

Yesterday Johnny Cresto left for his former home at Torrino, Italy, to visit his mother and other rela- tives after many years' absence. Pre- eeding him to the native heath was his father, who few weeks ago lett Sanpole, Brazil. Father and son have never seen each other, the father leaving Torrino a few weeks before his son was born and remaining away until the present time over 20 years ago. It is this unusual event in the lives of the two men that hastens the son to the old place as the mother desires to see the two again and looks upon this as the ac- cepted time.

Southern Pacific Nov Burning Coal on Their
Freight Engines. Scarcity Of OIL.

New Orleans, Aug 30.-Because Of
the constantly decreasing supply Of
fuel petroleum along the lines of the
Southern Pacific, that company has
abandoned entirely the use of oil for
its freight engines both here and in
Texas. Hereafter only passenger
trains will be equipped with oil burning
engines, and that will be done largely
as a matter of advertisement on ac-
count Of the obliteration Of the flying
cinders nuisance for passengers trav-
cling to California and other Western
points.
According to information received
here yesterday the company has en-
tered into a contract with an indie
pendent coal company in Kentucky for
10000 tons of coal per annum to be
delivered at this city. This, of course,
will be only for the use of the freight
trains operating out Of New Orleans
and Algiers, but there are other coal
contracts Of equal magnitude being
made at other places, it is said. The
coal company will soon commence the
erection Of a 2500-ton loading crane
similar in some degree to that re-
Gently finished and placed in operation
at Donaldsonville. This will be for
the more efficient unloading of barges
into the company chutes at Algiers.
The crane will cost about $4,000,
and will be Of the latest improved
appliances.

PROHIBITION IN SHREVEPORT
Papers There Report That Law is Being Fla.
GRAVITY VloIa~Ved--OffICsrs Wink At Ofienses

Everything is not SO serene pro-
hibitionwise in Shreveport, according
to the Shreveport Journal. That
paper says e~ditorially:
THE Journal is perfectly willing
to admit that the horrible conditions
exist-but the Journal wants the
blame placed where it properly be-
longs. The blame is not with the
prohibitionists, nor with prohibition.
The blame belongs upon the shoulders
Of those officers who took a solemn
oath to enforce the prohibition law,
along with all others, and have failed
utterly to regard this pledge.
IF there is any comfort for the
anti-prohibitionists in the Shreveport
situation they are welcome to it. But
the Journal once more issues this
warning TO them: Pubhc sentlmenb
in Caddo parish will not be affected
by this sort of thing. The only peo-
pie Disguised by such conditions to
the extent that they will vote the wet
ticket next time are men who voted
that Way before. There are hun
dreds Of good, law-abiding, honest
men in Shreveport and Caddo parish
who voted against prohibition before,
but will never stand to see the law
outraged as it is being outraged in
Shreveport every daY, without max
ing up their minds, once for all, to
wipe out the disgraceful conditions
at the very next opportunity"
