SP|AELESS CACTUS
 GROWTH AT WENDEN
EVIDENCE OF
 VALUE OF FREE SPEECH
Also of the Value of Experimental
 Stations Railroad Conducted.

The importance of the freedom of speech. whether verbal or written. is never better illustrated in modern days than by the publication of an import ant item of agricultural or hOrticul- tural development news in the news papers. From here and there il awal- ems answering echoes of information.
 The items about cactus growing which the Republican has recently published are having the usual re- sult in this way. Tn it's Wcnden cor7 respondence. dated September 9. the Parker Post contains the following: which is of interest in this cOnnec- ton:
 "To the everlasting credit of the Southern Pacific railroad officials. that company has established experiment tai gardens at Phoenix for the pur- pose of testing and trying out the mer- it's of the different grains, grasses, and forage plants that seem best adapted to the arid regions of this country. George Gam, travelling freight and passenger agent of the Arizona East ern In Phoenix. at his home grounds, is experimenting with the various kinds of spineloss cactus and will soon be able to enlighten the public as to the merits of that interesting plant.
 Some of the latest creations in the cactus line that Mir. Cam has secured from the |. $. propagating station at Washington, D. C. are now being tried side by side with the Burbank per fected spineless cactus, and results are being noted. Their report, when is sued. will be of great value to the farmers in Arizona. An idea of what may be accomplished in growing the Burbank perfected spineless cactus is

in evidence in a small field near Wen den, where the cuttings were planted two years ago. Out of fifty cuttings that were planted, forty-nine have grown to be large. healthy plants, many of them seven feet high and siX.Eeet across. The tonnage from a full acre of such plants would loom up like q fish story. Besides, the yield 6f fruit the past season amounted to considerable With the exception of three irrigatings these plants received the first year. they have made this wonderful growth from the natural rainfall"
 The cactus Gt Wenden referred to by the Post are being grown by NJ. M. Briggs. % man of fifty years or so, formerly an architect and builder in the Pacific northwest, who came to Wenden some five years ago for his health and homesteaded 16O acres on the edge of Wenden. He was soon elected justice of the peace. and in various ways has proved himself a useful citizen The cactus which he has is one of the Burbank forage va rieties In the growth of it he has succeeded in doing what Luther Bur bank says he has been unable to do in CalifOrnia-raise fruit on the variety Persons now visiting in Phoenix who know Mir. Briggs well and are familiar with his cactus farm, speak very en- thusiastiCally of his plants and of pros poets for building up an industry in it's growth.

HE IS TRYING FOR
 AGE OF METHUSALEH.

An old man is now stopping in the vicinity of Pirtlesville who, it is claimed is 112 years old. and is a man that has done as much fighting for Mexico as any other man living, says the Douglas Dispatch. His name is Ygla- ciOus Esquidero and he arrived in this vicinity only a few days ago. The old man has papers from the war department in Mexico showing that he has in the past held a cOmmis- sion as lieutenant colonel in the army of Mexico. He is a man of medium build and is remarkably preserved for one of his advanced age. On his body

FEDERAL COURT WILL
 HURRY THROUGH DOCKET

That every effort is to be made to dispose of all pending cases in the United States court before the first of January, or before Arizona emerscs from a territorial into a state govern ment, is the information received in Tucson from United States Attorney .. F.. Morrison, says the Tucson Star. Arrangements have already been made for four terms of the federal court. and there are still others U be settled, which will be done within short time.
 on October I6 a session of the fed eral court will open at Phoenix. It is expected that the business at the cap ital city can be completed within a week, and in accordance with that be- lief, term was set to begin in this city on october g. The local term is also expected to end in less than a week. and a third term has been set for Prescott to begin on October 30
 Judge Lewis has been sitting at Globe all summer on a jury case, and is now taking his vacation, since that case was not decided until September 16. The session of the federal court at Globe was therefore set back to November 13. This session was to have been held the latter part of this month, and the murder cases of Stuart and Steele, whose real name is said to be Goodwin. was set for Sep tember 25 This is one of the most important cases of the Globe session. It will be remembered that these men were sentenced by the territorial court. but that it developed that such court was without jurisdiction. since the alleged crime was committed on the Indian reservation.
 Later in the year there will be an- other session of the federal court at Prescott. where a case of importance, that ranks with the well remembered case against Grant Brothers Con struction company, will be tried, the United States against the Santa Fe railroad. This case is brought under direction of the interstate commerce commission, and is civil suit, from alleged employment of opera tives for a time longer than the pre- scribed hours of labor. For each sepa- rate and specific violation Of this law there is provided a penalty not to ex- ceed $500 There are 19O charges of violation, so it will be seen that the amount involved in this action may reach s195, ,OOO

DRUhhERS CONFER
 NOMINATING TICKET
They Write a Platform They Think
 Will! Suit Everybody.

\ small army of travelling men chanced to congregate in Phoenix yes terday and following the custom of the times they proceeded to organize them selves into convention in the Com mercial hotel and nominate a full state ticket. Political partisanship was not made a condition precedent to mem bership All that was required was acknowledgment that the delegate was a drummer or in sympathy with the ideals of the travelling man. In that way a few proxies crept in but the ac- ton of the convention will be binding .on the entire fraternity for many who wanted to be there were detained on business or by failure to make trains.
 The convention was presided over by C. r. Egan who stated that he was a democrat but would change to any pol itics the convention desired if he was given the nomination for attorney gen eraL It was feared at one time that there would be a split in the cOnven- ton as among those present was W. T. ParkhurSt. better known as Bull Durham Parkhurst. who was nominat- cd for governor a few weeks ago by a trump convention Of drummers !y yho met here without formal calI- With him were proxies representing A. J. Gun ningham and Quinn Anderson who had helped nominate him, but all these men were harmonized by giving them places on the ticket
 Patrick Henry Arnold originally of Tiperary. Ireland, but for the last twenty-five years a travelling man in Arizona. was chosen for governor on consideration that he could show his naturalization papers. Ed. Shaw and Major shirts" were picked for sena- tors and W. ?. ParkhHrst for repre- sentative. IT. BaswitZ of Phoenix was named for secretary of state and Tom my Sutton for auditor A J. Cunning ham was suggested for treasurer c. F. Egan for attorney general and I. l.. Fletcher for superintendent of public instruction. For corporation commis- sioners quinn Anderson. Jack Shea and R G. (Bob) O'Shea were named. they having the three largest corporations of the fraternity in these parts.

There were many fine speeches in all of which the discussion Of politics was tabooed. the oratory being devoted en- tirely to telling what a fine lot of people the candidates are It then occurred to the convention that it would be necessary for its candidates to have a platform so the following was devised and unanimously adopted
 Platform.
 We the Amalgamated Association of Road Runners in convention as sembled, having nominated full state ticket (though none of the nominees are yet fulD hereby pledge our can .didates to the following platform:
 First-We believe in progressive principles applied 'o stanGpat theories We cannot win unless we play both ends against the middle. What this country needs to insure good govern ment is an administration of the law by men who are acquainted with pre- vailing conditions That means com mercial travellers and business men. All that is lacking to elect them, is votes. A worthy end justifies extraor- dinary means and the duty of the cen tral committee is to get the votes.
 We believe in the greatest good for the greatest number and therefore favor high tariff for those who want it and free trade for those who want it.
 We favor the independence of Ire land and the dethronement of all princes and potentates who stand in the way of Irish libertv
 We believe in prohibition in dry counties but a proper indulgence in wet sections for the promotion of trade and commerce.
 We believe in woman's suffrage, at home. but oppose it while on the road. Most of our wives are now suffering at home
 We believe in the initiative and ref erendum in all matters oe international dispute and in the frequent recall of the barkeeper.
 We favor world peace and ratify all actions of The Hague tribunal.
 We endorse the effective cooperation of the Phoenix board of trade. the Isthmian canal commission and the Panama exposition.
 We authorize the committee to en- dorse anything and everything else that looks good and gets votes.
 Among those present and participat- ing were: NJ. A. Castle, P H. Arnold, Ed. Shaw, Major Shirts, w. P Park hurst, H. Baswitz, Jack Shea, R. c. O'Shea, C. F. Eagan, I. l.. Fletcher, H. l.. Ward, R. l.. Chimlee C. c. Thomp- son, A. Cashion, R. J. Monahan, Geo.

HOGS-The market for hogs was sensi-
tive and changeable this morning. Shippers
selected various loads of bacon weights
early at generally steady prices. First por-
tons OF droves put up by packers cost
about a nickel lower but trade has strong
spot after movement was fairly started and
most OF the nickel decline was regained.
Later demand became dull
lnq1iry from all quarters was active and
quiet by turns, the big end Of a heavy
Saturday supply moving into second hands
In very good season. Light grades, averag-
ing around 200 pounds, met with usual
preference and sold at usual premiums.
Heavies were slow sellers at low figures.
Poor support from shippers on most days
this week, added to bearish conditions In
the east, were factors that helped packers
to keep the market under control present
values averaging about 5@10c lower than
those OF a week ago Some increase in ne
ceipts is also credited with bearish in
fluence, but this Increase was checked more
OF less by inability OF shippers to deliver
their full quota OF offerings over roads
that were almost impossible early In the
week Local supply shows a total that is
right around 1900 head heavier than last
weeks total receipts.

CATTLE-There were no fresh receipts
of cattle today and nothing OF any conse-
Quence In the yards upon which to base an
estimate OF the market. sun the FEELING
was about steady. Receipts this week have
been rather moderate, showing railing
off OF around 1900 head as compared with
last week and also with the corresponding
week OF last year.
The week started out with the market
firm and fairly active on all kinds OF kill
ers, both beef steers and butcher stock
situation changed most decidedly, the mar
ket becoming extremely slow and dull,
with a downward tendency TO values from
that time on until the close of the week
the decreased consuming demand incident
to the Lenten season and unreasonable
winter weather decreased the buying de-
mGnd to such an extent that practically
all kinds of killing cattle worked down
ward for the lack Of sufficient buying sup
port. This was not only true OF the mar
ket at this point but in a general way
would apply to practically all markets Of
the country, eastern as well as western.
At the close OF the week prices here are
around 15lt2jc lower on the general run of
beef steers, COWS and hefers.
The market for half fat or warmed up
feeders has been rather slow and weak
owing TO q lack of competition from pack
ers. On the other hand green" feeders,
that Is, cattle that have not been fed for
market, were IN good demand all week
and commanded firm prices every day

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.--Wheat today slid
under any down grade record made In the
last three years. Scantiness of domestic
demand, no foreign outlet and reciprocity
delay at Washington furnished plenty OF
reason. The close was weak at a net de-
cline OF &c to a full cent a bushel. There
also was net loss Of 9s4hc In corn, hc
on oats and 1503Oc for provisions
a new angle developed concerning re-
ciprocity. IL was argued that postpone
ment extended the period OF suspense for
the wheat trade and that, therefore, the
effect was TO favor the bears. Then, too,
the cables, the poor cash inquiry and the
fine weather were ali against the market
On the descent May was decidedly in the
lead the result of unloading by large hold
ers. That option ranged from Ss9sc to

Corn sold the lowest in two months. The
country was making increased consign-

shippers. May fluctuated between 4tAS
