announced his retirement he was OF
the opinion that either the state cen
tral committee or a convention would
select a primary candidate for gov
ernor. That man. said the governor,
would receive his support. He said
yesterday that he was not sure that
such Endorsement or selection would be
best either for the party or for the
candidate.
4 shall not sulk in my tent" said
the governor. L shall support and
work for the election of the man nomi-
mated by my party.
The primary campaign" said the
governor in answer TO a direct ques-
tion. lis different matter I do not
know about that. I am more inter-
ested now i'm the development of Cali
fornia ana its resources than in
politics.
SOME ARE CHUCKLNG
Some organization men are chuck
ling over what they consider an abor-
tive attempt TO use the governor as a
lever with which 60 boost John j.
41cNab Of Ukiah into the guberna
torial race with Quitclaim deed TO
the organizations support.
Other orga nization men. proponents
of McNab's nomination. insist that the
report that Alden Anderson is to be
the beneficiary OF the organization 5
support is horrid canard. Meanwhile
Anderson is hustling for support in
southern California and the governor
says that he is interested in the de-
velopment Of the state
McNab's first boost came from men
who have been. and are, extremely close
to Governor Gillett McNab has al
ways been one Of Gilletts personal
friends They have campaigned to-
gether and McNab was one of the most
enthusiastic Gillett men in 1906. Nat
urally Gillett has nothing but the kind
liest feeling for McNab.
When GilIett formally withdrew from
the primary running it was given out
that the governor was for the Ukiah
man TO succeed him. The McNab prop
aganda went good too, for a little
time. Then it began to show evidences
of the back fire of some of the machine
men who did not relish the idea of a
new Warwick in the field.
KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING
Some of the big wigs of the party
men, too, who had been Gilletts friends
always, took the field for Anderson
Their work was done quietly, but when
Anderson made up his mind to run and
the word was passed last Monday, An
derson was not in on a shoe string,
He knew what he was doing.
The McNab men ask How can any
one be the organization candidate if
Governor Gillett is not for him?"
OF course, there are several answers
but the one most in favor with another
crowd is IF any person has got the
governor into a hole, he should know
how to get him out again.
And the governor says he is inter-
ested inc the development of the state
and its resources.

HIDES, HORNS AND WOOL.
Read able Items from the Cattle Ranges
 of Arizona Territory.

Paradise Record: E. J. Hands was in town from the west side Wednesday. He says that while it is very dry, the number of cattle dying is not so great as one might expect, and not all of them die be- cause of the drouth-some fed cat tie die of disease, apparently. Some cared for survive, while others re. ceiving the same attention do not live. The loss will be great unless rain falls soon, he states.
 Phoenix Republican: Cattle in- terests in southern Arizona. accord ing to the statement made by J. K. Campbell, chief of grazing of the third district of the Agricultural Department, are passing through a critical period at the present time. Unless rain comes within the next thirty days, disaster will follow, and the loss will be very heavy. The extensive grazing domain GOV. cred by the San Simon and Sul. phur Spring valleys is in the worst condition for many years, and the cattlemen are rushing their steers out to Colorado and Wyoming ram ges, where feed is more abundant, and where the expense of transpor- tation is warranted at whatever cost. MT. Campbell estimates the shipments from the south at over 10000 head of steers, and which will be followed steadily by many more. The mountain ranges in that section continue good, but in the lower elevations there is practi' cally no feed for any livestock.

KANSAS CITY, June 8, 1910.- Cattle here this week 27,S00, last
 week 33,000. same week last year 43,000. Reduced supplies since Tuesday converted the market into a strong one, and sales to-day on medium grades of cattle are 15 to 25 higher than the first of the week. Top grades have not advanced so much. Top for the week was $825, paid yesterday for full loads, and for odd head earlier in the week, and it takes high finish to bring $80 % or better, medium steers $6 50 to $7.50, grassy steers down to $5.50, cows $3 25 to $650, heif- CTS up to $735, bulls $4.00 to $5.- 85, veals higher this week, best $500, stockers and feeders holding up firm, stockers at $4.50 to $5.85, feeders $500 to $620. Around $50 carloads of quarantine cattle have arrived here this week, about the same as last week, but slight de- crease from same week last year. The market is strong to ten higher today, and active, and is 25 to 40 cents above Monday on quaran! tine, good steers selling at $575 to $6.50i medium to poor at $4:50 to S5.50.

A Comet Excursion.

The Arizona & New Mexico rail- road last Monday night made an unique record in railroading, which will probably not be equalled for at least seventy.6ve years. It ran an excursion out of Clifton to en- able the people to see Halley's comet. It is probable that no rail- road ever before ran an excursion for such purpose. The town of Clifton is situated in canyon with walls 80 steep that neither the comet in the west nor the moon in the east could be seen from the town. Taking advantage of these circumstance the railroad advertise ed an excursion that would take the people to a place where the eclipse of the moon could be seen, and in the darkness the comet would be visible. Six crowded car loads of people gladly paid the necessary two bits for tickets and joined the excursion. The train went out to South Siding, five miles from town, from which place a fine view of the eclipse and of the comet was visible. The train returned to town about midnight.-Lords' burg Liberal.

$7.70 for best, hay fed Wyomings this week at $6 30.
 Hogs here this week 46,700, last week 51 300, same week last year 56,900. Spectators tried 70 force provisions lower this week, in sympathy with cotton ana wheat, and their success enabled packers to buy hogs at a sharp decline since Wednesday. The market is off 5 to 10 cents to-day, top $9 30, and bulk of sales at 1925 to $9 30, light hogs up to the top. Packers aver that every cent they pay above nine dollars now is a gift to the seller, and they making extra ordinary efforts to bring the price down to that figure.
 Sheep this week 29,900, last week 32,S00, same week last year 30,700. Prices have irmed up a little since the first of the week, and the close to-day is strong. Lambs continue scarce, and maintain the premiums heretofore paid for them, relative to aged sheep. Spring lambs brought $900 to-day, and clipped lambs sell up to $S 15, native wethers worth up to $5.50, ewes $500, Texas and Arizona spring lambs up to $8 50 this week, year lings $6.50, ewes $400 to $475, Texas wethers to-day at $5.10, the latter weighing 90.

WARE THE BOG.

About this time of year we always
hear a great deal about hydrophobia
and the enforcement Of the dog laws
Recently, several persons have been
bitten in this community by dogs that
were supposed to be mad, and we be.
lieve that in one case well-defined
symptoms of rabies have appeared. It
is a fearful disease, and until Pasteur's
treatment of it in 1852. it was supposed
to be incurable. The disease has been
known since the earliest historic times
and various palliatives had been triod
with Indifferent success until the great
Frenchman discovered by the inocula,
ton of the patient with the virus it
self, the disease could be cured. All
dogs that bite are not mad dogs, how
ever, and 1t is advised that the ami
NAL should not be killed. for as rabies
is invariably fatal to CANNES, the re-
coyery of sick animal definitely dis
proves rabies" In all cases where per-
sons have been bitten, however, the
wounds should be cauterized as pre-
oautionary measure, pending the ex-
animation of the animal by which the
injuries were inflicted.
II the owners of dogs would take
better care of them during the hot
weather, there would be fewer mad
dogs. They should be kept on the
owners premises and out of the heat
and confusion of the crowded streets.
Proper food, cool. damp places to lie
and only moderate exercise would save
many valuable animal from suspicion
and every community from the annual
mad-dog scare.
