Arizona Wool

For the seventh time in as many years. R. J Salter, Boston wool buyer, arrived in Phoenix this morning to open negotia- tions with wool raisers, who make this city thir headquarters
 Speaking of the quality of Ari- zona wool, Salter remarked that it stands high with eastern rnanu- lecturers, who have during re- cent years come to realize that it stands first in the western pro- duct. Salter attributes the supe rior quality to the fact that sheep owners have paid special atten- tion to the breeding of their sheep, inportations of blooded stock having been made by most of the sheep men. Just at present the possible revision of the wool tariff Is causing some worry to the wool raisers and buyers. Salter is one of the best known wool commission men in the country. Arizona Democrat.

Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. Is. 1912. There was good out let for all kinds of killing cattle last week, and the week closed about quarter higher on most kinds. Stockers and feeders did not move with their customary all acrity, because the severe weather was against that trade. Packers took over most of the heshy feeders, endesvoring to cheapen their droves of short fed cat tie, cost of which is increasing from protests Old Winter loosened it's clutch on the West Saturday and yesterday long enough to allow rather liberal run of cattle to get here for to-day's market. 12,000 head, and this supply landed on good spot. Chicago esptc- ted 24,000 to-day, but got only IT ,0O0 and other markets were moderately supplied. The stuff here moved readily, as fast as it arrived, at strong to 10 high CT prices. Numerous lots of good steers sold at $7 45 to $7.85, and this latter price may be exceeded when the late trains get iL, as 156 cars were backed at noon. Few fed steers sell under $500, though packers have bought some f1eshy feeders down to s 50. Cows bring up to $5 50, heifers to $6 50, calves higher to-day, best $8 25. Four cars 7U0 lbs. panhandle stockers sold to-day at $5 10 and pretty good stock steers may be had around $5.25. A few fancy feeders sold to an nIowa buyer last week at $6, 35, but only a few go out at cost of more than $5.75.
 All the markets were rather short of hogs this morning, so the II 900 head here sold quickly, at cents higher prices Some light hogs sold 5 to 10 higher Top here to-day was $6 45, only fraction under top in Chicago, bulk of sales here $6.1O to $6 40. Quality of the hogs coming is gradually improving, the average weight last week standing at 190 lbs. here, eight pounds heavier than the average for the month of Dec ember. Hog markets have been up and down, though 1t seems that prices are working upward slowly.
 Sheep and lambs came in freely last week, but packers bought them greedi- ly, and the market advanced 50 cents for the week There was decline on {, Friday, but it counted tor no,hing, as the run of 10,00O here to-day is selling back to the best figures. A few lambs made $7.15 last week, and numerous lots sold at $7.O0 to day, yearlings worth up to $500. wethers $475, CIV es $4 25. Deal CTS insist that only choice stuff should be sent in, as buyers are able to get plenty of that kind, and neglect poorly finished stuff.

WANT TO RAISE
 GRAZING RATES

H. E. Cambell received a tele. gram this week from ex-govern- nor Frank R. Gooding, president of the National Wool Growers Association, stating that the forest survice officials were con- tenplating an increase of from one-quarter to two cents per head for sheep grazing in this forest.
 Mir. Campbell wired protest to Associate Forester Potter and also took the matter up with Delegate Cameron because of general bad conditions prevail ing this year. The dry, cold winter and lack of feed to lamb on is causing great concern among sheep owners.
 A telegram from Mir. Potter read: "1ncreased rates on the Coconino forest are in conform ity with new schedule adopted after joint conference with the advisory committees last spring; result generally has been a slight reduction in sheep rates but on acconnt of special rate given Ar izona heretofore, the new sched- ule makes an increase there. The district forester in Albuquerque will be requested to make recon mehdations upon receipt of a statement from you giving req sons why you believe rates should not be increased"
 President Perkins of the Ari zona Wool Growers Association does not remember any joint conference with advisory com mittees and fails to understand why the increase should be made since the grazing fees for the year round including lambine now amount to IS cents, a cost of 8 cents per pound on the woo product.
 The year round rate was placed. at 12 cents and was to be used as the basis of other short term rates. The increase here will be from 6 to ' cents or the short summer season anc from 7 to 9 on the long summel season.
 With the other disadvantage sheepmen are laborIng undel this year, the increase seems un warranted and will make harC financial sledding for woo growers.-Flagstaff Sun.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
By A. w. MACY.
THE BATTLE OF THE KEGS.

At one time during the War of the Revolution some enter prising patriots of Bordentown, N. J., fixed up a few torpedoes in the shape of kegs, and sent them floating down the river. They were filled with gunpoW- der, and so arranged mechan- icaIIy that rubbing against an- other object they would explode. 1t was hoped that one of them might come in contact with one of the British ships lying at an- chor at Philadelphia, and blow her up. This hope was not realized, but they succeeded In soaring the British In and around Philadelphia within an inch of their lives. One of the "kegs" rubbed against a block of floating ice and exploded, creating wild consternation among the British. For twenty four hours thereafter they fired at every object seen moving on the bosom of the river. This af- forded great amusement to the Americans, and Judge Francis Hopkins, one of the slgners of the Declaration of Independence, wrote a ballad about the affair, in which he poked much fun at the British. The closing stanza read thus: A@ ta "such feats they did perform
 that day
 Against those wicked kegs, sir, z That years to come, if they get
 home,
 They'll make their. boasts and
 and brags, sir."n t- Copyright, 1911, by Joseph B. Bewles.l

the accident near Duncombe on the
night of Oct 10. which involved
him was incorrect. The automobile
was going at a very high rate OF
speed and Mr. Neil, who was driv-
ing the buggy, did all he could to
avoid an accident. The automobile
and team met on grade and Mr..
Neill succeeded in forcing one of his
horses off the embankment. He tried
to attract the attention of the occu-
pants of the automobile and thus
prevent accident, but they either
did not see him or were going at
such rate Of speed as to be I'M
able to stop. When the item was
published In the Freeman-Tribune

the country, won more laurels a few
days ago in a contest for the Illinois
trophy cup at Springfield. He was
high man with a total of 399 birds
broken out of a possible 400. This
score is one OF the best ever made
and is the top mark reached by the
Jewell man. The Illinois trophy won
by Mr.. Hoon is gold cup of much
value. Competitors from all parts
of the country were entered in the
match. The scores of the four high
guns in two days shooting tourna-
ment show that the Jewell man was
four birds ahead of his nearest OPP

Dirt POLITICS
IN STATE CAMPAIGN
Vicious Circular Printed Calculated
to Injure Candidates for
State Offices.

The mixing of religion and poll
tics has been tabooed in this country
since the days of the signing OF the
declaration of independence up to
the present campaign, but within
the week what is alleged to be the
Knights of Columbus oath, but what
in reality is base libel, and SLAM
derous attack aimed at, two Of the
leading candidates on the democratic
ticket Hon. E. G. Dunn for governor
and Hon. Maurice O'Connor for
Judge of the supreme court, Is being
circulated broadcast in this state
Such contemplate methods should
be frowned down. The question of
a mans religion or the lodge he be-
longs to has no legitimate place in
our politics. That game was tried
upon Mr.. Taft four years ago, but
had little or no effect. Some of these
circulars have found their way to
Webster City. Mr.. OConnor writes
of the matter as follows:
Eds. Freeman-Tribune: During
the last ten days my attention has
been called frequently to the circu-
lation among the voters of the state
Of an unsigned pamphlet purporting
to be copy OF an oath taken by
the members of the Knights of Col
umbus, a Catholic organization. That
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1912-10-29

the purpose of the circulation of this
unsigned anonymous pamphlet is
political Is shown by the fact that
at the bottom of the page on which
1t is printed reference is made to
the fact that myself and one other
candidate on the democratic state
ticket are members of the organiza-
ton known as the Knights of Col
umbus
In language this fake oath is
blasphemous and the creatures who
invented it are degenerates. A read
ing of IL will readily disclose why
the parties circulating 1t prefer not
to sign it or let their connection
with this vile libel be known. To
charge that any organization Of
which I am member would employ
such an oath Is an indictment Of
both my citizenship and sanity. The
claim that the Knights of Columbus
take such an oath is malicious
falsehood only equalled In its infamy
by the conduct of the men who seek
the shadows of secrecy In the circu-
lation of the libel. The men back
of this libel don't believe it, but
they hope that among the unsuspect-
ing the poison viii spread. My
knowledge OF the broad liberality of
men who do not belong to the church
to which / happen to belong, and Of
their sense of fairness has caused me
to doubt the necessity Of mentioning
this most unfair libel, but on second
thought and in justice to my own
citizenship have concluded to pub
licly denounce 1t as the atrocious
falsehood 1t is.

trade by mail in England and Ger
many is that the profit Of the pro-
duce dealer and other middlemen is
cut out and the farmer gets little
more for his goods than he would
in the market, and the consumer
gets them for much less. There is
no doubt that the same thing will
occur here.
The postal department is working
out the details for carrying on the
business of the parcels post. Rural
mail wagons, which are mostly q
wheeled carts, will have to be sup
planted by wagons large enough to
accommodate the new business.
1t is not likely that fruit or vege-
tables will be sent by parcels post
to any extent, because they weigh
SO much. A bushel of apples weighs
about fifty-flve pounds, dried apples,
twenty-six pounds, onions fifty-seven
pounds and -four about forty-eight
pounds. But fresh fish may be sent
easily. and man who goes fishing
after January ] may send his catch
home each day by parcels post. From
the seaports of England large bust
ness Is done in sending fresh fish by
parcels post to families in the cities.
Fresh flowers are sent that way,
too, and as flowers weigh but little,
IL may be that greenhouses in the
country will send flowers by parcels
post direct to persons in the larger
cities.
The regulations require that no
parcel be sent by post shall be great
er in size than 70 inches in length
and girth combined The contents
must not be perishable within a per-
iod reasonably required for trans
portation and delivery must be pack
ed according to rules yet to be for
mulated.

Stand by Nelson.

Reports come to the Freeman
Tribune that unusual efforts are be-
ing made on the part of his oppon-
ents to defeat Rufus Nelson, the re-
publican nominee for sheriff The
fact that Mr.. Nelson carried the pri-
maries In his part Of the county
where he is we'll known indicates
that he is a man who has the con-
fidence and respect of the people
among whom he has lived many
years. The vote down his way was
practically unanimous in his favor
and he won throughout the county
by more than one hundred plurality.
AS might be expected, there are some
campaign stories In circulation, in
tended TO injure Mr.. Nelson, but
when a man can get the votes Of
nearly everybody in his neighbor-
hood people who are not personally
acquainted with him need have no
hestitancy in supporting him. Mr..
nelson Is not only good man and
good citizen, but his friends, and
they are legion, vouch for his abil-
ity to fill the position of sheriff as
1t should be filed. Mr.. Nelson was
fairly nominated and is entitled to
the support OF every republican in
the county. That he will be elect
ed there can be no doubt. but he de-
serves to receive as many votes as
the balance Of the ticket.
