Southern Pacific Pensions


Since the Inauguration of the
Pension Department of the South
ern Pacific Company, January l,
1903, nearly one million dollars
has been voluntarily disbursed
among the retired employees of
that corporation. The precise
amount is $3.50, COZ. 70.
The total disbursements for the
month of June, 1911, were $14, :
O1O.35. This was divided among
APO men and women, retired en-
ployes of the Southern Pacific
Company. The total disburs-
ments for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1911 were $168, 900. 20.
Since the organization of it's
Pension Department the South
ern Pacific Company has pension
ed GIG of it's employees. Of this
number 1876 were from the OPP
Grating and Train service, 268
from the Motive Power Depart
ment, 81 from the General Offic-
es, 22 from the Atlantic Steam
ship lines and 21 from the Ferry
and River Steamers. Length of
service is all that is necessary to
secure a pension from the South
ern Pacific Company. The en-
ployes are not required to contri-
butte toward the Pension fund, all
payments being made out of the
General Funds of the Railroad
Company. :

SCIENTIFIC FARMING
University of Arizona Establishes
Four Years Course in This
Branch of Learning.

Universities throughout the
country have awakened to the
present day need of deeper ap-
plication on the part of our
college men to the study of Agri-
culture in all it's various branches.
Not detracting from the advan-
tages of the many professions that
are encouraged in most education
al institutions, suffice it to say
that there are, each year, grad
uated from Institutes of learning
more lawyers, doctors, dentists,
teachers and preachers than are
required, while the country stands
in absolute need of attention by
m ind S and men scientifically
trained in all the varied branches
of agriculture.
There is need of a course in
agriculture that will be complete,
and offer a term of study fitting
the student to play an important
part in the general development
of the nation. With the intensive
farming, seed selection, soil ply
sizes and fertility, the various
branches of animal husbandry
and modern methods of water
and rainfall conservation, the
need Of scientific training is be-
coming more necessary. In this
age of competition the combina-
tion of science with practical eX-
perience will help in a large mea-
sure to overcome the problems of
crop uncertainty, which yearly
occasions chaos and loss to the
Nation. Instead of this condi-
ton, a system of crop reliability
ever increasing in usefulness and
scope will be developed by the
colleges where agriculture plays
an important part in the educa-
tional work. Arizona has been
quick to realize tn e ad va n
tages of scientific agriculture and
prompt to establish a four year
course at it's University at Tue
son, which is perfect in complete
ness and which carries with it
the degree of B. S. The Univer-
sity is entitled to the hearty COM
mendation of the agricultural in
terests of the country at large
for taking this step, the effect of
which will be of national impor-
tance.

In fighting to keep the blood

often germs multiply so fast the

Col. Pickett Defends AriZO-
mas Constitution.

Hearty endorsement of the
constitution of Arizona, as it now
is arranged, is offered by Col. H.
L. Pickett of Tombstone, who is
now at the Ho lenbeck hotel, this
city.
If statehood is granted to the
territory. it is probable that Col
onei Pickett will be a candidate
for the United States senate.
Several persons, it is stated,
have endorsed his candidacy and
many friends predict that Colon
ell Pickett will be chosen as the
Southern representative of Ari-
zona.
Colonel Pickett says he long
has been an ardent advocate of
the direct election Of United
States senators, and states that
he is strongly in favor of the re-
call of the judiciary.
THE constitution of Arizona,
as ratified With an 80 per cent
majority, is just what the people
of the territory want, " Colonel
Pickett said today. Further
more, the people of Arizona
stand ready to support that con-
stitution.
Arizonans know what they
want, and they consider them
selves capable of making a con-
stitution without the assistance
of the president mad the members
of congress.
If the amendment eliminat-
ing the recall of the judiciary
from the constitution is submit
ed to the voters of the territory.
1t will be overwhelmingly defeat
ed. The people are determined
not to be dictated to as to what
they shall put in their constitu-
ton.
They believe that they have
the privilege of putting in any
thing they desire, providing it is
republican in form and not in
violation of the constitution of
the United States, and also con-
forms to the enabling act.
Arizonans believe in the peO-
pie ruling, and in their constitu-
ton as it now stands. The people
of the territory are anxious to be
admitted as a state. They ex-
pect the Flood joint resolution to
pass the senate.
Arizona will be a wonderful
state if it is admitted. 1t is one
of the richest copper sections in
the United States. Last year it
led all the states in the prOduc-
ton of copper, with an output of
292, 875, 100 pounds.
"Cochise county, which has be-
come famous for it's great copper
deposits. produced about one-half
of the total amount. The princi-
pal place of proc uction was Bis
bee, where one company paid
about $6,0C0,000 in dividends.
Cochise is the most populous and
wealthy county in the territory.
1t also has some of the most
prosperous towns.
Douglas is the greatest smelt-
ing point in the territory. and
Tombstone, the county seat of
Cochise, is the most ideal city in
Arizona.
Colonel Pickett has been act
lively identified in the upbuilding
of Arizona in recent years. He
is a lawyer of experience, and is
known in both Arizona and New
Mexico. Los Angeles Express.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
(By J. A. Rlokart, Correspondent)

iNuhooS %iel OtSNN A@iAS' ~ANb 2I.-The arrival of 2,ooo cattle here today marked the opening of the heavy fall business. The in centive that started a part of the cattle that arrived here today was an advance of 10 to 40 cents last week. Today there is a decline of , to I5 cents on the lower half of the cattle here, those in the upper register selling around steady. Complaint is made, re- specting cattle from native past ures that they lack weight, and advices indicate that this trouble cannot be overcome, which is likely to put premium on steers carrying good weight from now on. The best steers here today sold at $S, equal to the top last week. Quarantine cattle were in lighter supply than usual last week, and prices advanced 10 to IS cents. Run in that division today IS I7o cars, market steady to 10 lower. Osage wintered steers brought S6 here today, other steers running from S4 to S.,. 50. Wintered steers from native pastures bring up to S7, most of the steers S5.75 to S6. 50, a goo,l gain over week ago. About 50 cars of Colorado and far western cattle have ar rived during the last week, in cluding two o three trains from eastern Colo crado here today. Buyers say the steers lack quali- ty, sales iron S4.6o to $5.5o for the beef stetrs, canners and cows at s 10 s4 85, stockers and feed S3. 50 to s4 .6o. Country demand IS little weak, as several dry spots have developed in local ter ritory in the last week, though Kansas got good rain yesterday. Market is steady today on stock CTS and. feeders, best feeders S5.25 to S5. .65, stock steers $3. 50 to S5.25.
 All the conditions in the hog market are on the selling sides favor, yet packers resort to every expedient to put prices down, or at least to keep them from ad- vancing. The best they have been able to do is to stave off any sharp rise in the market though prices are up 5. to 10 cents today. Shippers take the cream of the crop every day, and packers re- fuse to compete with them for 1t. else the market would take sud den rise. Receipts are slim at all points, run here 45oo today, top g. .621 1s, bulk of sales S7.35 to S7.55.
 Sheep and lambs had hard time from breaking last week, and the close was around quarter
 over for the week, the result oi gradual melting away of values The run today is t6,ooo, market closing IS to 25 lower. Different bands of Utah lambs brought S6.75 today, the top price, and yearlings from same state brought S4.25. Colorado ewes reached S4 Friday, but S3.75 IS the top today, bulk of the range wethers and ewes selling at S3.25 to S3.6o' Stock and feeding stuff is in strong request, feeding wethers Friday up to s3.65, best breeding ewes s4, feeding lambs SAYS to s5.25,
