AS the volume of business on the stock
exchange approached the million-share q
day mark strong opposition to further
speculative expansion developed In power
full banking quarters. The argument was
advanced from that source but the bank
Ing situation was not strong enough to
finance a continued business of that size
IN stocks. These banking interests were
not in entire sympathy with the Morgan
play at any stage of the game, but con-
siderately held off and gave the Morgan
party free field.
They had no objection to seeing the
value of their collateral increased SO long
as it was not done at their own expense
or risk. but there was a limit beyond
which they could not countenance a spec
ulative boom. They accordingly passed
out the word to slow down. Total trans
actions dropped from 100000 shares a
day to 100000 shares a day and as the
decrease proceeded prices fell away
About this same time an aggressive bear

bad case OF indigestion. The market had
been overfed.
In defense of the market status 1t must
be said in all fairness that on and dur

CHERRY FAIR NEXT
Big show win BE Held in Salem,
July 7, and 0.

Salem will hold it's fifth annual
Cherry fair July Z, and 8. The event
has been widely advertised through
out the valley with circus posters and
the capital city expects to be flooded
with visitors from different points in
the valley from the first to the last
day of the festivities. Many attractions
have been scheduled, including e. J.
Arnold's shows, five bands. many elab-
crate and magnificent parades and
sporting events.
A contest is now on for queen of the
festival. The successful candidate for
queen will be crowned on the morn
ing of the first day, when the big pa
rade of decorated carriages and au-
tomobiles will take place. From then
until the confetti throwing on the last
night of the fair, joy will be uncon-
fined. The five bands that have been
engaged for the three days are the
Victor Point band, Chemawa Indian
band, Reform school band, Arnold's
band and the Salem Military band.
Among the other features of the
show Will be comic parade, Wnlch

A. Fl. COLLINS DIES
Passes Away at Dallas Home After
Several Months Illness.

Alexander II. Collins, one of Polk
zens, died at the family home in Dali
las, Sunday, after a long illness, aged
63 years.
About two years ago, Mr.. Collins
fell from a streetcar in Portland. He
was badly injured about the head and
it was feared for a time that the in
juries might prove fatal. Greatly to the
surprise of his family and friends, he
rallied from the effects of the acci-
dent, and after few weeks was suffi-
ciently recovered to take charge of his
business affairs again. The hurt had
been of a serious nature, however,
and Mr.. Collins soon found his health
gradually failing. Realizing that his
days of hard work were over, he left
his farm near Suver and moved to
Dallas. Here he gradually grew worse
until death came to his relief Sunday
night.
Mr. Collins was a son of Smith and
Emily Collins. He was one of Ore
gon's oldest native sons, having been
born on the old donation claim near
Suver, October 25, 1847. He was
married to Sarah e. Wells in Buena
Vista, November 6, 1878. One son,
Will d. Collins, was born to this un-
ion. Mr.. and Mrs Collins adopted
and raised two children-Fred Wells,
of Dallas, and Alex Ginty, now res
idanf af Ashland
Mr.. Collins is survived by four bro
theirs and two sisters-J. L. Collins and
f. NJ. Collins, of Dallas; w. w. Coll
ins, of Albany; A. S. Collins, of Prime
Vile; Mrs Eliza Dornsife, of Dallas,
and Mrs. Dora Carter, of Blckleton,
Washington.
In his death, Polk County loses one
of it's truest and most substantial cit
izens. ALEX Collins, as he was
Familiarity called, was an honorable,
kind-hearted man, and enjoyed the
highest respect and esteem of his
neighbors.
The funeral was held from the I'm
tied Evangelical Church this after
noon and burial took place in TIE Odd
Fellows cemetery.

 President Taft still maintains his attitude that the promise of statehood to the territories made at the Chicago convention was a straight pledge of the republican party without strings attached and he is keeping up his efforts to get action on the matter.
 "He conferred today with Repre- sentatives Hamilton, Cole, Gurne- say and McKenney, of the house committee on territories. They as sured the president they would do everything in their power to put through the house statehood bill that would suit him and that they would get the bill before that body at the earliest possible moment. so that it will not be hanging fire in the last days of the session.

WORK COMMENCED
 ON DOUBLE TRACK

The l.. J. Smith Construction Co., have completed their camp just east of town and now have 100 men employed. which force will be increased to about double what it now is as soon as the cuts are open ed up enough to get that number to work.
 Their big steam shovel will be here in a few days and then will begin the installation of standard guage railway with locomotives and dump cars to handle the dirt as fast as it can be shot down and loaded. This material is to be used in large fill 25 feet deep in the east end of the present yard, which changes the entire yard layout and reduces the grade for the east bound trains.
 The company will next week be- gin the erection of duplicate camp at Supai, three miles west of here, to handle the work to the west. Their main office is to be located in the store room of the Babbitt-Pol- son Co on Railroad avenue, which will be the headquarters of the 500 or 600 men who will be working close to town, as we'll as the dis tribating point for their many camps to be established as rapidly as conditions permit.
 Already there is quite differ ence in the looks of our city streets from that of the dull times of last winter, and even the trade of the new men arriving and looking for work has made business better for the local merchants.
 The business outlook is better for this summer, fall and winter than ever before and it takes no prophet to see that Williams will be once more in her pristine glory the best town in Northern Ari- zona.
 A large force has also begun work at Ash Fork and the work will be rushed from that point.

Every citizen of Williams should turn out next Tuesday evening and attend the mass meeting in the town hail and help in making our Fourth of July celebration this year one of the gran,lest that Coco nino county ever held.
 At the business mems meeting held last week, at which time it was decided to give a celebration, each and everyone pledged his sup port in the undertaking. but as the people in general were not present, it was thought proper that another meeting be held at a later date, when every citizen could attend and advance their views as to the arrangements. This meeting the committee has set for next Tues day evening. There is much work to be done by the different com mites in the way of arrangements for the different events of the pro- gram, fna ncing, etc and it should be seen to that all committees are made up of hustlers.
 We have the opportunity this year of advertising more extensive ly and getting larger crowd in attendance than ever before, as all summer there will be big gangs of men working on the Santa Fe road from Albuquerque to Needles. and with a certain amount of effort the
