League, or any one OF a dozen
other societies working for the
benefit of the whole community.
The value of these organizations
can scarcely be overestimated.
They are to be credited not only
with the tangible results they
bring about, but also with the
spirit of civic loyalty and of un-
selfish interest in others which
they promote.
Such organizations are as yet
rare in the country districts, but
the country needs them not less
than the town. In too many coun-
try communities there is no COM
munity life at all. By this we
mean that there is no feeling of
responsibility on the part of the
different individuals or families
for the welfare of the community,
no local pride, no attempt at local
cooperation in business matters,
no social center for the commu
nifty, no realization, in short, of
the fact that the interests of all

Los Angeles Market

Los Angeles, Jan. 24.- During the week just passed there was for few days a shortage of cattle in some of the packing house yards, one large firm running completely out, and being forced to secure a rush shipment from the north, besides calling upon local packers for immediate needs. The Cudahy yards, however, are full, and an overflow of 500 steers are being held in the s. P. yards.
 Fred Bixby sold some 300 first class steers at 5.75 at his lower ranch.
 Breeding cows are in fair de- mand. A dozen cars of calves relieved the weeks shortage of veal One lot of feeder steers sold during the week at under 5

They report that h e range is exceedingly dry and un- less rains come soon, the sheep men will be heavy losers this winter. All preparations ar e being made for shearing at the different shearing plants, but new feed and warmer weather e needed before active operations can commence sately.
The Coconino sun., 1912-01-26

There appears to be a falling off in number fed steers in the western states, owing to the price of feeders. There is the claim made in Colorado, Utah, Wyom. ing and Nevada that a man can not feed steers and break even at the price of feed and the price oi feeders. California feeders assert a 4.5o feeder price means that a 6 cent beef price is necessary for a man to break even, and several large outfits have cut down the number of cattle they feed. Beet tops, grass and alfalfa at certain season will fatten steers on close margins but the steady hay and grain or meal feeder and the pulp feeder is hard pressed to break even.

NOTICE ID WOOL
 GROWERS OF ARIZONA
Meeting at Phoenix January 31st of Importance to All Owners Forest
 Officers to Be Present

On Wednesday, January 3Ist, 1912, at o:3o o'clock a. m., at the Commercial Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona, the Supervisors of the | Coconino and Tusayan National Forests will meet with the wool grower users of the said forests and all applicants to graze there on, preparatory to issuing per mits for the coming season. Su- pervisor Hinderer of the Prescott National Forest will also be pres ent. It is also expected that District Forester Ringland will be in attendance.
 Numerous matters of vital in- terest to all wool growers are up for consideration and settlement, and others will arise. The off, cers of this association would like to bring them to your atten- ton. Therefore a special meeting of the woolgrowers is called for the same time and place as above, and all wool growers are urged to be present.
 Your delegates to the National Wool Growers Association Con- vention held in Omaha, and the American National Live Stock Association held in Denver in December, will make a report. A report will also be made as to the freight rates on wool to Bos- ton; freight rates on live stock from Arizona points to California; revision of the wool tariff; the maximum and minimum pro- tective limits on sheep grazing on the Forests, and as applied to new beginners" The raising of grazing fees is contemplated. Your officers are making efforts to prevent it and have asked District Forester Ringland to be present at the meeting to become better informed as to our conditions. The matter of government control of the public lands is receiving considerable attention before con- gress and the last bill presented Senate bill 3462, by Senator LaFollette,) will be discussed. The Arizona state legislature will convene before our annual meet ing, and it is proposed to amend the present Live Stock Sanitary Laws, and we should look after Legislation in the interest of the wool grower.
 Be sure and attend and come prepared to discuss and act upon the important, if not grave, mat ters that face the wool and sheep industry of the country at large and Arizona in particular.

Railroads Reneg

The recent conference of stock men and railroad officials at Ash Fork seems merely to have been frame up to jolly the stockmen along. Rates were agreed upon and railroad representative were to recommend the reduction, but, while the stockmen came home stunned, surprised, amazed and congratulating themselves on how easy it was to secure fair treat ment, they failed to reckon with the little strong string attachment held by the companies; the com panies did not feel justified" in granting the request.
 The present rate on cattle from Phoenix to Los Angeles is $I26.85 for the thirty-six feet cars. The stockmen wanted to pay Sos. At this last meeting the best figure offered by the roads was SI2o. The present sheep rate, for cars thirty-six feet long, double decked, is. SI5o.45, and, for single decked cars, S87.5o Both roads offered to reduce this rate to $I25 and $8S. 50 for the respective type of cars.
The Coconino sun., 1912-01-26

Last year at this time the north ern buyers had closed many very large contracts but spectators ap- pear to believe this a dangerous year and are holding off. There are few sales of spring cattle being made in Arizona, Utah or New Mexico, except to local steer buyers who are figuring on turn ing for fall delivery by the pound.

Kansas City Market Letter
(By J. A. Riokart, Correspondent

Kansas City stock yards, Jan uary 22 IoI2.-Expectation of a liberal supply ot cattle the first of this week, together with a short age of refrigerator cars in which to move the beef, put a damper on the cattle market last week after the middle of the week. Some cattle sold Saturday IS to 20 cents under their mates that were here Wednesday. Stockers and feed CTS were an exception, the mild weather since the first of last week stimulating that trade somewhat. Veal calves also shot upward 50 cents worth last week. Butcher stuff has been selling rather better than beef steers, because there is wider demand for the cheaper class of meat. That tendency has been boon to quarantine cattle, and the POO car loads of oil mill steers here last week sold at S5.I5 to S6. 80, prices high enough to make their feeders money. The run to-day did not turn out to be excessive, I2, ,ooo head here, but Chicago had too many cattle, %, 900 head, and prices on killing cattle are steady to 10 lower. Butcher stuff again sells shade better than steers, and stockers and feeders are steady to day. The best drove of steers here last week sold at S7.oo, on Friday, and some good steers brought S7.7o early this morning. A respectable num- Der of steers sell above S7.4o, bulk of beef steers at S6.25 to SIPS. These prices are SI.oo to ST. 50 higher than a year ago at this time. Stockers and feeders sell from $4.oo to S6.oo, prices which are close to those ruling at this time last year. High cost of feed explains the difference in the relative values this year. Dealers advise cautious marketing of cat tie this month, as buyers are prim- ed for a bear attack, should vol ume of receipts indicate possible success.
 The hog market held up fine last week till nine tenths of the Io6, 900 hogs that came had been sold, but after that it dropped, and finished in the S6.25 class, 20 cents below the best time.
 Evidently the cholera did poor job of cleaning up the hogs of the country, the way they are pouring into all the markets. The run here to-day is I8,ooo head, close to the record for a Monday run here, market 5 to 10 lower, top S9. 20, bulk $5.So to S6.I5. The big run is not being forced in, but is a normal movement, as indicated by the increasing average weight, Io7 lbs last week here, Ioo lbs the previous week.
 The sheep and lamb market suffered from a panic last week, many sales at the end of the week 50 cents to one dollar below Wed nesday's ruling prices. Various trade reasons are given, but all explanations seem transitory, and a quick return to strength is eX- pected. Run is 7ooo to-day, market strong to 25 higher, top lambs S6.5 55, yearling worth S5.75, wethers SAYS, ewes $4.I5. Some predictors of higher prices have lost their nerve, but the market still has a firm undertone.
