Big Cattle Deal.

One of the heaviest cattle trans actions effected in this section in recent years was that announced by several yesterday in this city, calling for the transfer by Hooker X Fain of ,ooo head that go to a Colorado buyer.
 The price was not named, but that it will run, under prevailing market prices, close to $40, ,ooo, is believed. In this deal all cows and calves were taken over, with the one, two and three-year-olds.
 The delivery begins on May 10 at Del Rio, and the stock will be placed on feeding ground in that state for marketing later. Messrs. Hooker X Fain are said to be rounding up this bunch on their ranges in the Ash Creek and Mo gollon sections, and the big drive will begin in few days.
 Several cattle buyers are at present in this section, and an- other important deal is said to be pending for large herd in the Big Chino section. Better prices are prevailing this year than ever before known in the business, and every available hoof will leave the county in the next few months is the general belief. Journal Miner.

 Market Letter for the Past Week.

| age pllCeS Ol tnS year, EledNy steers were a drug, whenever light handy weights could be secured and the close was IS to 25 lower than the best time of the week on heavy weights. Light steers and she stuff also lost a little of their edge, but still they finished better than the close of previous week. Stockers and feeders were a dis appointment to owners, as buyers refused to take stock steers except at reduction of IS to 30 cents the last half of the week, and even feeder buyers baked when the competition on fleshy steers from packers became too aggressive. The run of cattle today is 5000 head, market steady to weak on : heavy steers and on she stuff, but light steers are strong to 10 higher. Some I6oo-lb. steers sold today at SS. 20, other lots at SS.ro, and bulk of steers at S7 10 SS. Two lots of steers brought sS.4o last week, highest on record for the month of April here. Choice heiiers bring up to SS, and heavy cows up to S7.5o, bulk of she stuff $ to S7, few poor critters down to S4, bulls SAYS to So. so, calves SC to SS.5o, feeders S6.25 to S7, stockers $4. so to S6.5o.
 The rebound of the hog market from the bottom, which was struck last Tuesday, amounts to 30 to 35 cents, including a gain of 10 cents today. Packers have figured that the slight advance in prices grant ed by them the last half of the week would start flood of hogs this week to market, but found themselves mistaken today, when only $500 head came in, and had to pay higher prices to fill their orders. Retailers are said to be still charging maximum prices over the counter and consumption is at a low ebb, otherwise packers would buy more freely, figuring from which it don't seem likely that prices will suffer much for a while. Top today is $o.4o, bulk at So.I5 to o.s5, and top on light hogs So. 321s. Nothing extra good was included today, although av- craze weight is increasing, ac- count of owners keeping pigs at home,
 Sheep and lambs are E to 25 cents under their best time of last week, run today I5,ooo head, in- cluding 5000 head of through stuff, not on the market.

The wise stockman will assist The Sun in its work oi assisting the stock industry of northern Arizona. It is a great industry and needs the help of a paper de- voted to its interests. While The Sun reaches the great majority Of stockmen of the north, it should reach them all, It has grown in circulation the past year splendidly and stockmen are gradually awak- ening to the fact that 1t does them good. The larger the circulation and the more interest manifested in it, the more good t can do. So far as stock interests are con- eerned, 1t Is not q local paper, but is intended to cover the northern part of the territory, Try 1t a while -sH cents q week won't materially affect your financial con. dition and it will pay you many times the amount in information you need to have.

Some Reasons Why Major McKinnon
Should Have Enthusiastic Support.
By a Prominent Farmer.

Editvr Robesonian.
AS our countyman, Maj. A. ].
McKinnon, is a candidate for
Congress from the 9th district. | |
would like to set forth a few rea-
sons why he should be nominat-
ed.
Let me say in passing that it
is the opinion of many that the
present member has about serv-
ed out his allotted time, like
other worthy men who preceded
him. AS to the wisdom of this
rotation custom | have nothing
to say just here.
Mr.. McKinnon is home man
and l believe in home products,
and the development of home
talent as we'll as home industries
and institutions.
He is man of broad views
and large capacity, and not only
plans but executes with success.
He is in full sympathy with the
average man" las described by
Bryan and | believe would stand
for the uplift of his fellows.
, He is great believer in more
: water where needed, for the
, betterment of navigation and the
7 drainage of swamps for the ad-
, vancement of agriculture.
He is a loyal Democrat, and
: has always carried his lend OF
y the log" in the party struggles.
5 He is not 'pigmy" when il
t comes to stature. but, like Saul,
e the son of Kish, is head anc

d Nominate him and he would
o be able to tote his own skillet

into the race.

success in many business affairs,
his wide experience and his sue

Success to Maj. McKinnon and
the Democratic party.
Respectfully,
E. F. McRae.

Major McKinnon's Pastors Estimate of
Him.
Editor Robesonian:
If the voters of the sixth con-
gressional district are looking
for a real representative, they
can find him in Maj. A. J. Nc
Kinnon, Of Maxton. He is of
that sturdy old Scotch stock,
some of the best blood of this
land, and is a type Of them.
The major is a heightened
Christian gentleman, is a Demo-
crat of Democrats, true to his
party and principles, an honest,
competent man, is able to see
the right and willing to do it,
knows and loves his people and
is known and loved of them, will
represent his people, and do all
that can be done for the best in
terest Of the district. He isl a
man you can know, and confde
in, and trust, and is a man who
is every way worthy Of the con-
| fidence and support of the PEG
pie and to sit in the halls of Con
gress. Give him your support
elect him as your representative
and you will be sure Of a jus
representative.

the first established in Robson

Sandy McKinnon these were es-
tablished. The first graded school
in this part Of the State was es-
1tablished at Maxton, and A. J.
McKinnon was in the very fore
front in the organization and
building of this enterprise. He
is and has ever been since we
knew him, rs years ago, a strong
and willing helper in sustaining
the church and everything that
tends to build up the moral and
religious welfare of his commun-
ity. county and State. A broad
and charitable neighbor, and all
round Christian gentleman.
He is we'll qualified because he
is a large and successful business
man, and an extensive and pro-
gressive farmer, especially pre-
pared by experience to represent
the eighty per cent of his con-
,stituents who till the soil. In
this line he stands at the very
head of progressive agriculture.
Having ploughed himself, he
knows how to sympathize with
and legislate in the interest of
the toiling masses. having been
the first man in the county and
all this part of North Carolina to
introduce the trucking industry
that has proven such a success
full diversion to the farmers of
this progressive old county.
He should be the nominee and
be elected, because as a success
full business man and extensive
farmer he would represent at
least ninety percent of the vot-
ing population of this district
We have not a word against any
profession, but fair play demands
and this progressive agricultural
age in which we live speaks ir
truthful and loud tones that we
should be represented by a farm

the large Democratic majoritie

two Representatives in Congress
and these two able and distil

permitted to remain in Congress
four years each, giving us eigl

INDIANS IN FEAR OF COMET
countable for Shortage of Deer
and Caribou.

Deer in Canada have been scarce
this year" said John A. Raymond Of
Montreal.
In fact in some places they have
almost vanished. There was a great
deal of cold weather the last winter
in the Alberta province. In some parts
the ground was frozen several feet
deep. The Indians were the greatest
sufferers, not particularly from the
cold, but from the shortness of food,
because they depend upon deer flesh
to last them until the spring.
THE caribou also were few. A year
ago rabbits were so plentiful one
could almost walk over them. This
year they were gone, and 1t was the
same with the deer and caribou.
1T was the same story all over that
part of Canada. The Hudson bay
hunters reported hat they had found
no caribou at all, and some of them
travelled more than 300 miles in
search of the game. The Indians
everywhere suffered and reliefs of all
kinds were organized by the Hudson
Bay company as we'll as by the mount
ed police.
THE Indians were made the more
unhappy by a superstitious belief that
the comet was in some manner ac-
countable for their suffering. In some
cases they were driven almost to a
state of panic, and hid themselves in
any kind of shelter they could find,
hoping to be overlooked by the power
of whose visitation they assumed the
comet to be a sign

Health in the Schools.

This country has at last begun to
wake up to the fact that lack of proper
sanitary and medical methods in our
schools has been causing a vast
amount of absolutely unnecessary bad
health; that bad health is often the
sole cause of dullness or unruliness on
the part of the pupil and that all
these things are too destructive to the
future lives and success of pupils to
be longer neglected. If the schools
demand supervision over our children
for so large a part of their young lives
then the schools must live up to this
responsibility for bodies as we'll as
for minds.
Sanitary surroundings, the spread
of contagious diseases, proper food for
lunches, such physical defects as bad
teeth. %adenoids, poor eyes-all these
things We have finally learned are of
vital Observation-Disclosures.

LIQUOR IN BRITISH GUIANA
Ordinance Adopted in Colony Stop
ping Sale of Ardent Spirits to
Aboriginal Indians.

The policy of prohibiting the sale
of ardent spirits to the aborigines of
crown colonies, which the Native
Races and the Liquor Traffic United
committee is urging upon the British
and other governments, has been
adopted and is being enforced in Brit,
ish Guiana. A colonial office report
just issued states that an ordinance
has been adopted in this colony pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquor to any Indian and provides that
any such liquor may be seized and
forfeited. Any intoxicated Indian may
be arrested and detained in any
lookup till he is sober and is liable to
a penalty if he refuses to give infor-
nation as to the person who supplied
him with liquor.

This Bird Was Curious.

Prof. Guy A. Bailey, a member of
the faculty of the Geneseo IN. "
State Normal school, relates a little
incident which might be doubted were
it not for the fact that he has the
proof to show for the story. Mr.. Bal
ley was on Temple hill with his cam
era attempting to get a picture of a
horned lark. The lark evidently
thought Mr.. Bailey was providing it
with a bird house. as 1t hoped on to
the camera, back into the trees, and
then back on the camer again.
The bird repeated this performance
several times, refusing to remain in
the trees long enough to be snapped.
Finally Mr.. Bailey left the camera
where he had located it. went and got
another camera and when he returned
he secured a splendid picture of the
bird perched on camera No. l. Curl
osity got the best of the bird and the
result was a novel picture.

RESTORED TO FAVOR
Ancient Art Has Resumed Popularity
Onyx and Shell Best Liked in
Present Day.

The earliest safety pin came from
Myeenae, and SO did what is probably
the earliest existing cameo. 1t is a
little recumbent lion carved in anne
thyst, and he reposes today in the
British Museum.
This cameo is to sculpture what the
miniature is to the easel picture. 1t
is a small-sized low relief carved upon
a hard stone or gem. The onyx or
sardonyx, which is to be found in va
rious shaded layers, was the faYorite
material for a cameo of old.
The Roman ladies of Rome's impe-
rial days wore cameo ornaments in
their hair. The mobiles wore them on
their armor and as shoulder brooches
or fastenings to their cloaks. Cameo
cutting became then a great art, show
ing the rarest delieacy and cunning of
hand.
Portrait canoes were first favor
ties in the days of ancient Rome, as
also after the Renaissance were por-
very often chosen as subject because
OF her tragic lace n her winged
head where serpents writhed among
her tangled locks.
When England's warriors returned
from the wars of the crusades they
brought with them, among hosts of
other treasures from the east, the
first canoes ever seen there. Good
Queen Bess," who loved to have her
portrait taken, sent for a cameo cut
ter from France, and she was duly
sculptured in turquoise and cut num-
berless times in onyx.
But it is the old-fashioned shell
cameo which has become so dear to
women collectors. When delicately
cut it should have a delicious creamy
softness. a precious richness of effect.
An onyx cameo, on the other hand, is
bright, glistening, brilliant, and it is
far more durable.-London Mail.
