FLEET ANIMALS
 TO CONTEST FOR PURSE
(From SunGay's Daily.)

Sporting circles in the western part of the county are very much. inter ested in the coming horse race that has been matched between "ArkO, " owned by Henry Ritter, of Kirkland valley, and Henry Hardwiek horse, to take place at Ward X Blakely's ranch on the Sandy, in Mohave eOun- ty, on New Years day for purse of $500. The money is up and the rivalry is keen between the packers or both fleet animals.
 The distance to be run is a straight away of 700 yards. The race results from the fact that Arko is considered by rangemen in the western part of the county as being in a class by himself, having won in two events, one on the Fourth of July in Pres eott. and the other on Labor Day, at Kirkland. winning easily both races, and establishing a good name.
 The Hardwick horse was retired from the turf several years ago, and enjoys the distinction of being the swiftest animal in Mohave county. Mr. Ritter while in Prescott yester- day stated that Bob'' ShultZ will be the trainer and rider of Arko, and that considerable sidebetting will be made
 The place where the race is to be pulled off is about forty miles south of Kingman, where a good road is available for automobiles. ...

ELECTRICITY IS
 VANISHING DRUDGERY
(From Sundays Daily)

Yesterdays demonstration of the utility of electrical cooking applian- es given by the Prescott Gas and Electric company, was not only a pleasing occasion but also a cOnvine- ing argument in favor of the adop- tion of the principle in every home. The generous invitation extended the public to witness the operation of the various appliances, with the re- past served in dainty dishes, all pre- pared for consumption by the simple manipulation of the button, in an incredibly brief period, was respond ed to by an even 529 residents, dur ing the afternoon and evening.
 Tea, coffee, toast, biscuits, waters, honey and other viands were served by the attaches, while costly arrang- ed tables were distributed around the main salesroom. Each guest was given a souvenir of the occasion in a bouquet of vari-eolored carnations. The admiration of scores of house wives was freely expressed of the great labor and time-saving devices shown and the demonstration of the superiority. of electrical apparatus over other heat generators.
 Many orders were given to substi tute the new plan for the old. In pre- pairing coffee, only eight minutes time is required, while in the cook ing of biscuits only ten minutes clap sed after the pan of four dozen was placed in the little oven and with drawn. ready for serving at steam heat. In three minutes the toast was ready, while water boiled in the kettle in just three minutes after the current was turned on. Pereolat- ing coffee pots used, an innovation introduced recently by the company.
 This was the first practical demon stration given in Prescott of the ap- plieation of electricity, and it met with the hearty endorsement of all and particularly of the ladies. Gen eral Manager M. V. Watson, super vised the interesting event, and was ably assisted by Miss Anna Cahill, Miss Opal Creekmur, and Mrs. Gary Vyne in serving the guests, while other attaches were busy in making the occasion agreeable to the crowds that attended.

MORE LAND SETTLERS
<From Sundays Daily.)

Before United States Commissioner Moore yesterday the following eiti- zens made applications for land: Len Young for an additional so acres on his previous sO-aere location near Camp Verde, and also 16O acres un- der the desert land act. John Morris for 16O acres as homestead in Skull Valley. F. E. Blaloek for I6O acres as a homestead near Davis Siding on the United Verde railroad. Several more homesteaders are making in vestigations of land near this city, and it is believed that the coming spring will see quite a rush.
