ALLEGED VIOLATION
 OF 2S HOUR LAW
Action Begun in U s. Court Aqainst
 A. T. & S. F. Railroad.

An action was begun in United States court yesterday by the federal government against the Atchison. To- peka and Santa Fe railroad comnanv for a violation of the twentv-eieht hour law. The papers Were filed by United States District Attorney Nor rison at the direction of Attorney Gen eral Wickersham acting on the reoues+ of the secretary of agricultUre.
 It is alleged that on May 16. 1911 the defendant company loaded thirtv- four cars of sheep at Hillside station the sheep being the property of R F. Daggs and were consigned to the KnOllin Commercial company. Kansas City. The sheep were loaded at eleven o'clock of that day and they were not unloaded for rest, food and water until the train reached Winslow at seven p NJ. of the following day The time elapsing was thirty-tWo hours.
 The next unloading place was at Vaughan N. NJ, and the next beyond Vaughan was Wellington a run of thirty three hours. Though it is all legged that there were two violations of the twenty eight hour law the govern ment only asks that the defendant be fined $500 as provided for hy the law for each violation.
 The civil suit of Emma Hummeli against George Guckenbergcr trustee and William Guckenberger was brought to the United States court from Pima county This is an action to quiet title to property which is cloud ed by deed in the hands of the de- fendants. It is claimed that the plain tiff and her husband. Louis c. Hum mell had purchased this property ly- ing south and east of Tucson from the GuckenberCers and later they deeded it to 2 third party who in turn leeded it to the plaintiff It is alleged that the husband of the defendant had executed to George Guckenberger as trustee a deed for no consideration but in the way of security for certain notes. It is claimed that the obligation has been discharged and that Guckenberger is threatening to record the deed
 This property has been much in Iiti- gation within the last year Right of way suits by the Fl Paso and South western against Guckenberger have been fought in the Pima county suits and later a damage suit was brought against the railroad company by the Hummelis in connection with the right of way.

ONLY AMERICAN BABY GIRAFFE
Great Menagerie Attraction With
 Barnum and Bailey Circus

The only baby giraffe in America is an attraction this year in the men agerie of the Barnum and Bailey cir GUS which on Sept 23 will exhibit in Phoenix
 This is the second time in history that the stork has ever paid a visit to the giraffe pen in the zoo of cap tiVitY. Over fifty years ago in the Geological Gardens at London, Eng land, a similar event happened but the yOungster lived only a few hours. Long after that event scientific ani- mai breeders spent fortunes in vain attempts to entice the stork of gi raffeland to their quarters. After a time they gave up the project and were content with what fullgrown gi raffes they could find in the Afri- can jungles.
 This curious American baby came like a Christmas present, in the dark of night and all unexpected The keepers found him in the early morn ing, and great was the rejoicing at Bridgeport, where the show makes it's winter home Its mother is twenty-two feet tall. The tips of the youngsters ears just reach to the old lady's shoulders. The mother is worth ,0O0. the father is worth $12,O00 and a giraffe uncle of the new arrival is very valuable. The baby is worth more than the rest of the family with elephants. camels and lions tossed in against him. In fact he is priceless.
 Baby is as pretty as a picture and the flower of health. He is going to live a long time to delight thousands of children from one end of the land to the other He has the place of honor in the baby colony His vain old mother watches over him and his father looks at him proudly from afar At Madison Square Garden. where the circus opened it's season in March, it was the center of all eyes.
 Barnum and Bailey have a won derful attractive zoo. In it are over fifty specimens not seen in America in the past, except in pictorial form in natural history text books. There are forty elephants. thirty camels and dromedaries, twenty llamas. ten walks, herds of zebras and curious cattle all varieties of the bear, deer, monkey and cat tribes. nylghaus, ibexes, gnus, zebus, vlak vaarks, DOT cupines, tapirs, ant-eaters, ostriches, emus. kangaroos hyenas horned horses. hippopotami, rhinoceri, chim-

view of the case is taken and people are beginning to realize that a great deal can be grown by natural rainfall average rainfall of that region is in the neighborhood of 21 inches, which is as much as many countries have that en- gage quite extensively in agriculture, and the YaVapai county rainfall for the most part comes at the right time of the wear. Had the county been peOpled with farmers from Vermont who were taught to cultivate both sides of the mountains that stick up toward the sky and pick off the smaller bouders from the hillside YaVapai would now be much greater county than t is.
 Within the last year a great deal of interest has been taken in dry farming anu the study of advanced methods. Ii is said that nowhere can better fruit, corn cabbage Cauliflower, asparagus and other vegetables be raised, than in Yavapai. with a combination of rain fall. dry farming methods, and little irrigation from the mountain streams.
 And finally the big WateT storage project for irrigation purposes, that has been much talked of during the past year. seems to be coming along promisingly. It involves the building of large dam near Granite Dells just a few miles north of Prescott and smaller dams on Willow and Lynx creeks. for the impending of the wa
 ters of Willow, Lynx and Granite creeks. This supply it is believed will irrigate a vast acreage north and east of Prescott and add much to the wealth of the county by farm homes, as well as by the annual produce of the soil

It's Future Includes Not Only a Revival of the Mining Industry But Great Development in Agriculture

Postmaster McClintOck who has re turned from an over Sunday visit in Prescott was quite impressed with the boost fever of the mile high city and the promising future it has developed. One thing he noticed particularly was the closer relationship that HOW exists between the Phoenix and Prescott people. a condition it is very desirable to perpetuate and further develop. His estimate is that including the week end excursionists and those who are spend- ing the summer in and near Prescott the valley has contributed about 200 people to the summer population of Prescott.
 There is no doubt that as the years go by the valley people will more anu more form the habit of spending their summers in Prescott and Prescott peo- pie will be more frequent visitors here in the winter time Also the two plac- es will become more closely united commercially.
 So far as material conditions are concerned it is we'll known that Pres colt has been rather quiet for the last year or so but MT. McClntock is cer- tain it has great future and the Pres colt people evidence more faith in their own resources than ever before. The city has always depended chiefly on the mining industry which has not been brisk for long time but there is revival in that direction that is most encouraging There has never been Wavering of faith in the Yavapai mines. They have merely suffered from the general inactivity in that in dustry and there is every reason for believing that the coming winter will see a rapid resumption of mining busi- ness.
 But the thing that gives Prescott it's best hope for q permanent prosperity is the recognition at last of the agri- cultural possibilities of that county. There is no question but that it would long ago have produced much more fruit, corn and similar crops had any one taken the trouble to engage in az riculture. but mining was the chief Oc- cupation from the first and most peO- Ple took it for granted that if one wanted to farm he could do much bet ter by coming to this or some other southern valley, where it could be done on a larger scale and where produc- tiveness is greater The higher and better local markets did not seem to ap- peal to the farmer as they might and it was not thought worth while ts bother with the small areas of tillable soil.
