GOVERNOR HATFIELD.

The enormous majority of DIR. II. d.
Hatfield OF Mcdowell county in the
three cornered race for the Republican
nomination for governor is positive
Testimony OF the great strength lie has
as leader, not only In his own sec
! tiop but all over the State. The
friends OF both Swisher ana Dillon
who expressed an opinion rs 10 the
outcome conceded the nomination OF
nr. Hatfield several days before the
election, and their only surprise is ut
the size of his majority.
Few ever doubted his ability II
swing almost the solid vote OF the Nor.
fox and Western tier OF counties TO
his cause but It. was believed that his
slight acquaintance in the northern
section OF the State would he a handi'
cup sufficient TO overcome any leal he
might secure at home. but such was
not the case.

BUSY SESSION
 IS THEIR LOT

As the day approaches when presi- dent Taft will issue his proclamation and Arizona shall become state it be- comes more and more evident that the first session Of the state legislature will be the busiest that ever was in Phoe- nix or any where else within the bound aries during the territorial days. There is an immense amount of work attached 10 this coming into statehoo and the major part of that work is going to fail upon the law makers when they assem- ble.
 Under the constitution of the state to be of Arizona the salary of the legislat- ors is fixed at $7 per day for a period not to exceed sixty days. This practi- cally amounts to sixty day session of the legislature since senators and re- presentatives cannot be expected to la Dor on in Phoenix gratuitously, to do nate to the public their time and abili- ties, when tho sixty days during which salary attaches shall have ended. So the time is limited.
 Past experience has shown that there is always plenty of business to occupy the full legislature terms but never have there been so many matters that must at once be attended to as will con- front this first legislature In the past it has been merely the work of keeping up the territorial government and the passage of necessary Jas well as some unnecessary legislation. But the first legislature has received legacy from the constitutional convention. That body provided in numerous instances that the first state legislature should pass laws upon certain snd numerous matters and to- meet these provisions is going to take considerable amount of time and attention.
 It las never been known to fail that in nearly every state legislature each member has his own pet bill or bills his own projects. Some individuals ride a hobby and others have many measures which they are fathering. 50 it may be expected that it will be thus at the coming session in Phoenix And here is where the disappointment will lie. With time limited to sixty days, with imperative matters that mast first have attention with ordinary routine business and other business that will hereafter be routine, but is now extraordinary, it cannot be but manifest that there will be many measures that will not, that of neces- sity cannot, receive attention at the coming session.
 At this time it is only fair to the legislators that the people shall keep in mind that conditions at the first session are unusual, that what might ordinarily be easy of accomplishment is at this time impossible and that too much should not be expected of the members. What they can do they will do. but there is much that they cannot. considerable amount of legislation that has been predicted will not have been accomplished when the session ends and the members >hall return to their homes. -Bisbee Review.

Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. g, 1912 The first week of the new year was very satisfactory to cattle sellers, but brought walls of displeasure from killers. The market was strong all week, closing 10 to 25 higher for the week on all kinds, and prices ruling are about one dollar niger than a year ago. Fed cattle are selling at money making prices to feeders, which is all anyone can ask, and the lack of quality is what is worrying the killers. The tendency is to market stuff as early as possible all over the field, and finished cattle are going to be. scarce. The best here to day sold at $40, bulk of fed steers at $600 to $700. Severe winter weather causes railroads to hesitate about accepting orders for cars, fact that held receipts down to-day. The run here is 5000 head, and Chicago has only one half as many cattle to-day as were counted on at the end of last week The market is 10 to l5 higher here to- day on steers, and strong to l5 higher On other killing cattle. Native COWS sell up to $5.75, and bulls to $5.25, veals $500. Oil Mill cattle sold at $5.25 to 5000 here to-day, best prices paid for them this season. Light steers from Shawnee Oklahoma, sold at $5.40. Protracted zero weather, with heavy snow, is caus- ing uneasiness among cattlemen, and predictions are made that considerable stuff will be run to market immediately fl om districts where feed is short. In that event, stockers and feeders will sell lower. They are no better than steady to-day, at $4 % to 575, few fleshy feeders at $6.00 to 1925.
 The hog market is a nervous affair, ten cents changes being the rule from day to day for the last ten days. It is 10 higher o.day, following couple of similar markets last week, and tops got up to $6.45to- day bulk of sales $500 $6 42 1a- The run was estimated at 5000 for tc- day, but only 5000 got in, hence d strong finish. The expected storage of hogs has not developed as yet, local receipts last week running 22,000 more than same week last year, and receipts at the five western markes for the week aggregating 370,O00, as comapred with 287,000 same week last year.
 Sheep and lambs advanced 25 to 35 cents last week, and are up again to- day, and the first from that section ar rived to-day. Monte Vista lambs selling at $675 and $6 680, and ewes at $4.l0 Some Kansas lambs brought $690, which was the top, and some Colorado ewes brought $4l5. Wethers are worth up to 4.50, and yearlings $5.50. Good feeding lambs sold Friday at $5 20. Run is 5000 here to-day. and good run is expected balance of the week. Prices may soften little, but the undertone is strong.
