REPORT ON PIONEER
 HOME IS RECEIVED
Yavapai County has Largest Mum Der of Inmates. Cost $2887S per
 Man per Year.

The state Pioneer hame, an inStitu- tion established by the state and main tained by the state, for the purpose of taking care of the pioneers of the state, those settlers who in the early days fought both Indians and the desert in order that Arizona might be, is located a Prescott in Yavapai county. The superintendent of the institution is Percy " Caldwell, himself pioneer Tn this institution, the greatest number of inmates is supplied by Yavapai county, according to the report of Su- perntendent ColdWen recently filed with the governor.
 The counties are represented about as follows: Yavapai. 13; Maricopa, 9; Mohave, 1; Coconino, l; Santa Cruz 1; Pima, 3; Cochise, 2: Gila, 2: Yuma, l; Greenlee, l; and Navajo. 1. It is noticed that Apache county and Gra- ham are not represented. 1nese occu- pants more than tax the size of the home. There is a great need for more room there. The cost per man is about average daily population for the year is thirty-seven
 In spite of this however the home is
 
 ministration The Pioneers kick about conditions and in this they are aided by those people in Prescott who believe that airing the kicks publicly will em- barass the administration. There is a constant clamor for a change in the management of the home, yet the cla- nor rarely shows any good and suffi- cient reason for the change. However if h1 a oh yx-ifI shortly be made. Under the provisions of the law a. it now reads, the gover- nor may in his discretion appoint a man to the superintendency of the home who is not a pioneer.
 Among those who have been men toned for the position should q Vacan- cy be declared is Hon. PoWhatan s. Wren, of Constellation in Yavapai county. a member of the delegation from that county to the state legisla- ture in the recent terms.

RITCH|ES BROTHER
 WON ON HIS FIGHT
Frisco Mil That Gave Willie Light Grown Also Enriched Ben Stef-
 fens, Formerly Of Phoenix.

Most of the people of Phoenix knew Ben Steffens eight or ten years ago. He was for several years q printer in the office of The Republi- can. But all who knew him do not know now that he is an older brother of Willie Ritchie, the light weight champion. Ben, himself, was some thing ot a boxer in the old days
 Ben was at San Francisco on July to see the Steffen family acquire the championship and of his visit the San Francisco Chronicle says:
 Ben H. Steffen. of Chico, aside from being a brother of Willie Ritchie is employed on the Chico Record and in addition has a propri- etary interest in the water works in that section. The day before the Fourth, he came to San Francisco and wanted to wager $100 on the chances of his brother. Ad Wo1gast accom- modated him to the extent of wager ing $80 on the chances of the Mexi- can. As the wide world knows, Ritchie won the fight and Brother Ben collected his S80 profits.
 Well, now" he remarked, that will buy me the 2,OOO feet of pipe that l have been needing"
 And, as a happy thought struck him. he concluded:
 T guess I'll have to call it the Wolgast extension"
 Inasmuch as Wolgast is reported to have wagered and lost S1.00O. there must be other Wolgast extensions of which we know nothing"

GRAND CANYON
 MOTORB|K|STS
Four Chugbikers Return Leading Motorcade - A Splendid Ride and Hospit- able Receptions Mark the Successful Run

Four heroes there are of the motor bike, and their names are Doheney, Valentine Munson and Watkins. And the reason they are the said heroes is a tale in itself, much as follows:
 When yesterday morning, Valentine, Doheney and Munson travelled the last fifty miles of desert and entered Phoe- nix. they had completed the first mo- torcycle voyage between the capital and the canyon. Theirs had been the honor of leading the greatest motor cade from Phoenix to the chasm and return.
 The trip was a tremendous success. Not only did it show the boys the country. but it made them vacation brown. and vacation healthy. At Pres colt, especially did they enjoy them selves. They were all in the mile high town for Frontier days, one two and three. They then went to the canyon, passing pleasant three days along the rim and in the wrinkle" But the croWning joy of the voyage was the dinner given them by the Yavapai Mo torcycle club at it's comfortable club rooms in Prescott This happened Wednesday. on their delayed return from Williams. The club members numbering just thirteen were all pres ent. The dinner was served just as formally as at a big club, and it was enjoyed just as much. The Y. M. C., by the way is the best organization of young men motorcyclists in the south west, affiliated with the F. A. M. and power in motorbike matters far around. Prominent among those present at the feed were beside the guests, Paul Keat- ing. who drove his twin Indian to vic tory in the loop race a week ago Sat urday, making a record time of 58 min utes and 20 seconds for the A miles Bedding Jack Abbott, Hughes, Ray Vyne and others whose names have ap- peared as speedsters were in the party
 Doe" Watkins who rode twin liar ley stopped at Wickenburg to visit his people. and has not returned yet. The quartet is made up of Bill Doheney, one of the Republicans young com positors, Maurice (Babe) Valentine, the Merkle expert, who once rode to Los Angeles without a stop; Chet Munson, a recent convert of the Thor, and rid CT of but five days experience when he attempted the canyon route.

NO FUN AT ALL

Did you have a pleasant afternoon, dear?" asked the man.
 ''No." snapped the wife. T had a perfectly beastly afternoon!"
 Why, I thought you were going down to buy a new hat?"
 T was, and I did"
 Then why didn't you have a good time? I thought
 Yes, you thought Well. I'll tell you. I intended to have a lovely time buying that hat, but they had just what I wanted at the first store I went to. so I had to buy it. And there wasn't anything to do for the rest of the day, so I couldn't en- joy myself one bit!"-Cleveland Plain Dealer

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspArcu1


 NEW YORK, July 12.-There was q distinct hardening of tone on the stock exchange today but otherwise the market presented but few changes from the previous session which was the dul- lest in seventeen years. The market at the opening followed the lead of Lon don where American stocks had been placed at a slightly higher level A more cheerful feeling abroad was re- ported and there was some buying here for the London account which helped to give the list the appearance of strength. Canadian Pacific opened two points higher and later increased it's gain.
 Bethlehem Steel, New Haven and pe- troleum stocks all made substantial advances. Stock market leaders moved only fractionally and a factor in strengthening the market was the sat isfactory character of private crop re- ports. Trade reviews for the week told of a more confident feeling with some increase of business for the future ac- count The expected cash loss of the banks amounting to $7,S00,00O was shown the average statement of the banks reflecting the weeks exports of s5,000.000 of gold to France diminished the receipts from the interior. Tn the actual table however a small gain was shown.
 Bonds were steady and the total sales were of a par value of $410,00O. Some further heaviness developed in gov ernment bonds today.

DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK
Dodson's Liver Tone Gets a Four
Square Guarantee from B. [.
BroWdcr's Drug Store.

SGAAaS Maui Alutee, "a VIZ 49, 49,
PROVIDERS Drug Store.
When an article is sold a druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee it's a mighty strong proof
Of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dod-
sons Liver Tone. 1t is pleasant
tasting, vegetable remedy fora slow
and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale Of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson's
Liver Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to be satisfactory Calo-
mel is often uncertain, sometimes dan
gerous, and no druggist wants to
guarantee that it won't knock you out
Of DAYS work and maybe send you
to bed.
B. L. Browder sells Doison's Liver
Tone and guarantees it. For YOU and
for your children, It's a good thing 10

LITTLE CHANGE
ON BRISK MARKET
Alabama Now Supplying
Market With Vegetables
PEACH CROP POOR
Dealers Say That Frost Nipped Buds
and There Is Very Little Hope
for Fruit This
Year

Business ON Morris avenue opened
briskly yesterday morning The demand
was very good and the supply was in
keeping. There was but little change
in price though the grain market
showed strong rising tendency. Oats
were advanced to 5S cents and corn is
now selling for 81 cents bushel.
Meats are off 10 points and lard was
advanced lac.
Just at this season of the year Ala
bama is practically supplying the pro-
duoe market with vegetables. Egg plant
Is now being received from truckers
of this state and pepper Is also COM
Ing In. Early In April Florida sup
plies the Birmingham market with its
vegetables and as the season grows
older lHtates farther north are called
upon. Late In the fall produce dealers
will be receiving shipments from as
far north as Michigan.
1t Is said that the Alabama peach crop
this year Is practically nil. The young
buds were nipped by the frost and the
few that escaped are of Inferior quail
ity. Georgia peaches are being received
by local dealers but 1t is said there is
very little hope Of seeing many Ala
bama peaches this year. Apples are be-
ing received from Tennessee. North
Carolina, Kentucky and some from CAL
anu oregon.
Alabama poultry farmers are practi-
cally supplying the. local market at
this time. A few shipments of hens and
fryers are coming In from neighbor-
ing states but the bulk of the chickens
consumed in the Birmingham district
are produced in Alabama. The crop in
this state Is good this year and is all
most large enough to supply the mar
ket Later in the summer and fall the
dealers will again be receiving con-
signments from Missouri, Kansas and
other middle western states. The chick
ems from Missouri are cheaper in the
fall than are those in Alabama. This
Is due to the fact that the Alabama
crop is about played out" while that
of Missouri is Just reaching maturity
Although Alabama poultry farmers
are supplying good grade of chick
ems to Birmingham. it is claimed that
the eggs received from Alabama farm
ers are OF very poor quality. 1t is said
that In some cases of eggs received, at
least 80 per cent of them are unfit for
use. 1t may be that when the eggs are
shipped only one or two dozen of them
are tainted. but owing to the fact that
eggs are very sympathetic and take
on any ordor with which they coma
In contact the entire case is tainted an
route.
