Furthermore there is chance to quote prices and describe goods in this method of advertising in any rational way.

Will Attempt to Make
 Turpentine to Flagstaff.

Mir. H. S. Betts and John C. McRae, of the Forest Service, came to Flagstaff last Friday to experiment on the pine of the southwest with the hope of pro- ducing turpentine in commercial quanties. They left the follow ing day for the Fort Valley ex- perimental station, where ex- periments will be conducted un- til they are satisfied as to the value of this pine in turpent1ne production. Mir. Betts was in- clined to be sceptical and thought owing to the dry climate, the Arizona pine would produce but little turpentine though a thor ough trial of the scheme will be made.
 Tapping the trees for this pro- duct would not materially affect the value of trees for numbering as many trees unfit for lumber would enter into the proposition if it was a success.-Flagstaff Sun.

Arizona Fair at Phoenix.
 November 2 to Is
August 9, 1910.

The 1910 premium list has been issued by the Arizona Fair commissioner, and copies are now being mailed to prospective exhibitors over the territory. The book gives a detailed ac- connt of each article for which premiums are offered. The total amount of prizes exceeds $40 OOO.OO. 1t also contains the rules and regulations governing the fair and governing the inter ing of exhibits.
 It is not generally known that an exhibitor need not attend the Territorial Fair to be premium winner. Articles for exhibition may be sent to the superlnteud- ent of the department for which the article is intended and this is all that is necessary. Premium lists may be had free for rhe asking at this office, and are urged to call and obtain a copy. It is to make a good showing of exhibits from this county at the coming Territorial Fair.
 Although the greater part of the work of preparation for the 1910 Territorial Fair to be held at Phoenix November Eth to 12th has been directed by four commissioners looking to the improvement of the live stock and industrial department exhibits the speed department has by no means been neglected, according to statement issued at Phoenix.
 More horses will race this year at Phoenix than have ever before participated i'll the speed events and each afternoon of the fair week a well balanced program will be given. For the eastern horses the purses amount to $21, 100000 which includes the famous Arizona Copper Stake. For Arizona horses there will be S5,6OO.OO and for the runners about $3,OOO.OO. Entries re- ceived so far indicate that some of the most famous horses on the race world will compete.
 Shirley Christy Secretary of the Territorial Fair has annouc- ed that one day of the fair week will be known as Statehood Day on which accasion Hon. Joseph w. Bailey, United States senator from Texas and Hon. Albert Beveridge, senator from Indiana and possibly ex- senator Foraker of Ohio and other prominent speakers will be present and ad- dress the visitors at the fair.

IMPORTANT TO
 WOOL GROWERS


 good business principle to con- sign wool to a wool house.. who bought and sold for speculation other wools from the same sec t1On or of the same class, set about to find a reliable broker through whom our wools might be safely handled and sold to the manufacturer at a minimum ex- pense to the wool grower. After careful investigation including several days spent in Boston. such arrangements were made with Salter Bros. & Co.,, Wool Brokers, of Boston. lam assured they do purely brokerage busi- ness and do'not directly or indi- rectly buy or sell o1 their own account. We have consigned to them for a number of years and saved thousands of dollars by so doing. This year, for example, they sold the Gosney & Odell clip so as to net us, practically, two cents per ID. more than the highest bid at shearing corrals by the buyers.
 As matter of justice to Salter Bros. & Co. and our duty to the wool growers of the Territory, and with no ill-will toward any wool merchant, we have repeat edly recommended other wool growers to consign to Salter Bros. & Go. Their business in Arizona has constantly grown until the present year when they received on consignment a very large portion of the clip of the Territory.
 We noticed recently, a state. ment quoted from an Albuquer- que paper, and generally circula- ted among wool growers of the two Territories, to the effect that Mir. Vandarwort, a well kno VII wool buyer, until recently representing the hustling Firm of Brown & Adams, had bought in Albuquerquef from Mir. Pollock, a large clip for Salter Bros. & Co.,, thus leaving the impression that Salter Bros. & Co. were wool merchants or speculators, as we'll as brokers, working wholly in the interests of their customers. We took this matter up with Mir. Pollock and with Mir. Salter and are now able to reassure the wool growers that this statement was not correct. The clip in question was bought by Mir. Vandarwort and paid for by Gross-Kel1y & Go. and Salter Bros. & Go. have nothing to do with the wool in question, except perhaps to sell it on con. signment, for the purchasers. They have handled wool for Gross Kelly & Co. in the same way as they are selling for Ariz- ona wool growers for years, and we are told Mir. Vandarwort arranged with them to have them sell for him any wool he might purchase on his own account. When we remember that as a buyer MT. Vandarwort was one of the strongest oppen- ents of Salter Bros. & Co.,, his practical endorsement of them in this way is a gratifying recom- mendation of their ability and integrity.
 We make this statement be- cause we feel largely responsible for the business Salter Bros. & Co. have received from Arizona, and more because we believe the wool growers will profit by con- tinueing their business with this Firm.
 We have heard of reports or rumors before to the effect that Sa1ter Bros. & Co. were wool

MARKET, STOCK
 AND RANGES

to 70 cents was made on all kinds of cattle last week, lifting the market back up to its position before the big break two weeks ago. Calves are an exception, as they lost 25 to 50 cents last week, steady today, and best veals bring $7OO. Good general rains cut down the supply nearly one third from the previous week, and while the demand from kill CTS was not exceptional, it was generous, and country buyers hocked in by the hundreds, ex- pecting a big run from the dry sections, and had to compete with killers for a good many of the cattle they bought. There was a good Friday run here, and killers pulled a long face and succeeded in enforcing a decline of 10 to 5 cents on some grades, declaring the big advance of the week was fictitious, and would disappear this week with the arrival of liberal run. This pre- diction had no foundation in fact, for the fairly good run of IS, ,OOO cattle here today is selling steady to ten higher. The run at all the markets is normal to day, and the way 1t is being handled looks good to those who have cattle yet to market. Country buyers are again a big source ofstrength to the general market, as more good rains yesterday and to-day insure an immense amount of forage thls fall and winter. Gov ernment report on the corn crop will be out this afternoon, and IS expected to show a condition 8 or 4 points below July 1st. but still indicating a total yield of three billion bushels, and recent rains will have the effect of halt ing the declining average condi- ton. Top steers sold at $S.1O to-day, highest in a month, best grassers $7.25, fair to good grass natives and westerns $4.75 to $6.25, grass cows up to $4.25, bull $3 % to $4.OO, stock steers $500 to $500, feeders $4.OO to $5.75.
 Hogs lost 13 cents net last week, but the week closed strong, and the market is up 10 to 20 cents to day. The low figure last week was only a shade higher than this time last year, and the lowest since last October. Run is 5000 here to-day, light hogs at $9.30 to $8.55, medium weights $S.15 to $S. 50. heavy hogs $500 to $8.25. A feature lately is the appreciation in values of heavy hogs, as compared with the others, in anticipation of a heavy call for lard in the near future.
 Supply of sheep and lambs has been small, and the market made small gains last week. The run is 5000 head today, considerably above recent runs, and one half the supply today is from Utah and the Northwest. The market is shade higher today, although lambs closed shade weaker, top lambs today $7.0O, highest price in more than a week, bulk of lambs $6.5O to $6S5, feeding lambs around $500, fat wethers $4.OO to $4.5O, top ewes today $4.15 Country demand is large, since plenty of feed is assured, feeding wethers around $4.O0, and breeding ewes $3.65 to $4. 25.
