They are Stealing Elm

The Tucson Citizen is authority for the following: County Ranger Luke Short returned today from a two weeks trip through south western Pima county to the inter- national boundry, and through the Papago country west of the Ba- boquivari mountains. He made the trip through the Papago dist rict with County Raner James Mercer. They found that the promiscuous mutilation and de- struction of cattle hides after slaughter had been in progress, but where unable to get direct evidence of cattle thefts which this indicated. They warned the ranch CTS to cease the mutilation of hides and stated they would be inspected regularly.

Big Cattle Deal

A Phoenix dispatch says: The largest shipment of beef cattle made from the valley this season left Phoenix Saturday for Los Angeles, six hundred and sixteen head of steers, filling twenty-one cars, made up the shipment. The cattle were fattened by the Bartlett- Heard Land & Cattle company and were purchased for the Codahy Packing company by George Hoskins, the well known cattle buyer. Over half of the steers were two-years-old, the balance mostly three, and Hoskins says it was one of the best punches of young cattle he ever bought. They weighed in at about Io5o each.

Southern Roundup in Progress

A Tombstone dispatch says that the spring roundup of the various large cattle companies of this section have started for the range and will commence tomor- row in the lower Sulphur Springs valley. From what can be ascer- tained at this time the cattlemen of Cochise county are very en- thusiastic over the prospects of a successful spring roundup and estimate that the increase will by far excel the result of the gather ing of last years spring roundup.
 The roundup of the Four Bar company commenced yesterday at the old Robinson place on the Dragoon range near Tombstone and many cattlemen from the northern end of the county have joined the outfit at that point and will work down the valley.

 Market Letter for the Past Week.

last Monday furnished buyers with enough ammunition to last all week, and a run of 55,ooo there today gives them the whip hand for a few days more. The run here today is 1000 head, market weak at the start, but fully steady at the finish, top 8.oo, bulk of sales 7.65 to 7.o5.
 Expansion of lamb values blew the roof off the market the middle of last week, and so far the at traction of gravity has not stopped the. upward flight. Lambs are nearly two dollars higher than two weeks ago, and today sheep joined them to the extent of a thirty cent raise. Lambs brought o.85 today for tops, quite num- Der at o.75, and clipped lambs worth $50. Fed ewes brought 700 today, Texas muttons 6.I5 to 6.6o, Texas goats 400 to 4. so to killers, SIS for the country. A bare spot ahead explains the crazy market.

Kansas City Market Letter
CBy J. A. RlcIart, correspondent)

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 20, 2oI2: After two weeks of fairly liberal cattle supplies here, the run began to tighten up today and the market was strong to IS higher all around, and very active. The run was $500 head today, and many far away sections of the country had to be drawn on to aug ment the receipts from nearby territory sufficiently to make this total. Hay fed steers from Mon tana were here, at 700 to 7.5o, sugar beet cattle from Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado at 7.4o to 700, and Oil Mill steers from Northern Texas were unlooded in the quarantine divis- ion, unsold at late hour, because of their late arrival. The weak ness in killing cattle the first days of last week was completely elim- mated by the end of the week, the market having started upward with a firm stride on Thursday. Stockers and feeders remained in the rut, though enough buyers came in alter Wednesday to clean everything up pretty well by the close os the week. These buyers get their cattle at a bargain. Everything is ripe for some new high prices of finished beef steers, SIS being a possibility for this week not at all extravagant, though lack of class caused the figures to stop at 8.35 today. Best COWS reach 7.I5, heifers 7.75, veals q; quarantine steers 7.S5, stockers 6.75, feeders 7.I5.
 The hog market is the arena for what turns out to be drawn battle from day to day, top hogs hanging around eight dollars with wonderful tenacity. Logically hog prices should go higher, but an excessive supply at Chicago

Los Angeles Market Letter

Los Angeles May I- Prime fed beef are bringing 6 cents at I'm perial, COWS 5 cents. Phoenix prices are about the same. The freight to Los Angeles is about S3 per head, or 15 of cent per ID. Russell Bros. R. E. Wills and others sold at these prices recently and one man sold at A less. These prices are facts, and the 7 to s cent beef talks are purely and simply hot air.
 There is fair demand for can ners at s.75 and veal 7 cents.
 Every dog has his day, and during the last two years the cattlemen have been in clover and the poor sheep men have been getting hit pretty hard. Wool is again bringing fair price, and there has been a marked under current of strength in sheep values. Now would be good time to invest in sheep as sheep are going to be a pretty fair investment before long.
 Cattle have just about reached the limit, and the man entering the COW business now is taking chances. This is a presidential year, the country is prosperous, but there are many possibilities. One packing house in Los Angeles is short this month over 1000 head of steers in the sales depart ment, and every other one affected proportionately. This is not shortage of supply, but shortage of demand.
 The fact that sales have fallen off show that people cannot afford to pay the price now charged for beef. They are not using as much beef as they did last year. This is a fact, but 20 per cent falling  off is startling. It is because Americans are great meat eaters that there is such a demand for beef. In France and other foreign countries the poor eat meat once week and the rich once day. In America the poor have been eating meat three times a day, but with the coming of European meat prices are adopting to certain extent more of a vegetable diet.
 The cattle shortage may adjust itself automatically after all.

18th Annual Meeting OF the
Maine Library Association.

The feature of the 18th annual meet
ing of the Maine Library Association,
which was held, Friday, at the judi
cary rooms at the State House, was
the address at the afternoon session
by state Librarian Herbert E. Holmes
of Lewiston upon Civic Duties of the
Public Librar an
Mr. Holmes said that the present
period was one of great material adj
vancement in prosperity but also one
of great change and pointed out that
powers were at work in an effort to
undermine the foundations of 'reli-
gion and society In these conditions
certain very important duties rested
upon the public librarian
He showed that the growth of the
public libraries in the city had beer
matter of but a few decades. me
great majority of people do not yet
understand the great amount of good
the library can DO in the community.
The city councils do not comprehend
the scope of the movement and are,
therefore, too economical in their APP
preparations and as q consequence
the libraries are poorly equipped ana
the Librarians underpaid. Neverthe-
less, the librarians are public SER
wants and should serve the public TO
the best OF their ability. 1t is their
duty to quietly and ineonspicuousiy
help to turn the public taste to the
best literature. m v
Mr.. Holmes also criticized such late
fiction as MY Lady's Garter by
Jacques Futrelle, because its author
made a hero of crook and timer.
He mentioned other books of the same
kind and said that although not mn
moral, yet they were dangerous anu
had a bad effect on the mind.
In conclusion, he said: in these
DAVIS a ferocious, self seeking, athe-
istic materialism is undermining the
foundations of society and the pup
lie library should be one of the bas-
lions of the ramparts of defence Oh
society and the public librarian should
he a leader in the defence but at the
same time a servant of all the peo-
nile and his motto should be the mot
to of the Black Prince, len Dieh u

was devoted to a round table ana a

is as good as it was a year ago.
On cross-examination he said he
took the boat to Ingham street about
week after the demand was made for
it and did so because he heard a re-
plavin writ was to be served for the
boat.
He said he bought the anchor from
Mr.. Ham and had it charged to Mr..
Till because the latter owed him mon
ey.
f. c.. Wadleigh of Belgrade helped
pat the boat into the water TINS
apring and in his opinion 1t was not
damaged. He intended to store IT, but
was too busy to do it when conditions
were favorable.
e. l.. Ripley. an Augusta boat pullo-
er. saw the boat, Thursday, Tor the
first time, and examined II quite THOR
oughly. 1t was more or less damaged
and decay had set in.
The noon recess was taken at THIS
time with Mr.. Ripley still on the stala.
Mr.. Ripley resumed his testimony at
the opening of the AFTERNOON session
and testified further as to the pres
emit conditions of the boat in question.
Judging from it's present condltioh ne
was unable to pass judgment on its
value a year ago. Most of the dam

| Judged to have been there a year ago.
After several other questions, ne SAID
| a fair cash value for it year ago
was 500.
| Ray Partridge, Augusta an cleo

man in 1911 and saw the boat IN the
shed and that there was quite ios
| of rubbish in the barn. He told OF re-
pairs he knew which were made on

Ernest b. Sober of Belgrade, BOAT
builder, saw the boat on the oeach
sometime in October. He mace some

ket value of the boat in his opinion
was about SIS.

stand and testified regarding mort

AMUSEM ENTS.
.The Chorus Lady.n

One of the biggest audiences of the
week greeted Helen Grayce and her
company, Friday evening, at the OPP
era house, for the production of the
strong metropolitan play, THE Chorus
Lady" The play hnade famous by
Rose Stahl was presented by Miss
Grayee and her company in a very
capable manner and each and every
character was well portrayed.
The name part was well taken by
Miss Grayce and in every situation
she showed her talent From the
slangy chorus girl to the deeper emo
tional scenes Miss Grayce was all that
could be expected. In the dressing
room scene of the second act her COM
edy role was excellently done, while
in the third act, when discovered in
Crawford's house, her attempt to
shield her Maynard sister was ad-
mirably done.
Mr.. Brooke was fine in his part and
the same can be said of every member
of the large cast. Every one did their
best but as the play itself was not
just what was expected by the large
audience there was some disappoint-
ment expressed.
Romeo and Juliet was ably pre-
scented. in the afternoon, to a large
audience. In fact during the entire
engagement of the company, crowded
houses have been the rule and will
undoubtedly continue for the remain
ing performances, Saturday.
A dramatizati ton of Harold Nc
Graths novel, THE Goose Girl" will
be presented for Saturday afternoon.
This is romantic drama with Miss
Grayce in one of her most pleasing
roles 1.-THE Blue Mouse will be play
ed in the evening.
