SUPREME COURT DECl-
+. sion OF IMPORTANCE

No decision having a greater
bearing on the future of Arizona
was ever handed down by the
state supreme court than the one
which settled the Wood iAllen
case.
1t settled more than that case.
for it determined the validity of
every law and constitutional
amendment submitted to the peo-
pie at the November election.
Had the decision of the lower
court against Allen not been up
held, all of those laws and amend
ments would have been declared
invalid. Included in the number
are the equal suffrage amend
tnent, the game law, Scent fare
law, full crew law and MANY
others.
The court decided that the
election was a general election,
and that since the people passed
on the laws and amendments in
good faith their will should hold.

BUYS 10000 HEAD
OF ARIZONA CATTLE

One of the largest cattle deals
on record will be consummated
this week in the northern part
of the state, along the line of
Santa Fe. Tobe Driscoll, for
merly of Austin, Texas, and who
is known throughout Texas as
one of the Lone Star States big
cattlemen, but more recently
head of the ODD ranch in Wyo-
ming, is the purchaser. Mr.. Dric-
coll with ]. w. Crawford of
Tempe, who will handle the
shipment from Holbrook, left a
couple Of days ago for the Nava-
jo county town,
The number of cattle to be
shipped will approximate 10000
head, and have been purchased
from many people in the north
eastern part of the state. The
price of the stock is said to aver
age close to $25.0O per head.
Driscoll is located on the reser-
walton in Wyoming. The cattle
will be shipped to Moorecroft,
Dawson county, Wyoming.
Arizona is attracting the buy
er of stock from all parts of the
country, according to Mr.. Dris-
coll. The cattle ranges of the
state, in his estimation, are ex-
cellent and when range cattle
are shipped to the Salt River
Valley and fattened, and then
shipped right to market, the a9-
vantages are very apparent.
''The Salt River Valley, itself,
is wonderful place., said Mr..
Driscoll. + don't wonder that
the price Of cattle on this market
has gone to the highest point. |
should think that more people in
the valley would take to selling
their hay on the hoof. Wher-
ever such conditions have exis-
ted, as are found here, the solu-
tien of the transportation prob
lem for hay is to sell the forage
on the hoof. The profits, perhaps
don't seem so much on paper,
but when the cattle buyer wants
a fat steer, he will pay for him,
and this valley is one of the best
places | have ever seen for this
feeding"
j. w. Crawford, who will ham
die the shipment. for the Mon
tana rancher, is located at Tenn
pc, Mr.. Crawford claims the dis
tinction Of interesting Mr.. Dris-
coll, particularly in Arizona cat
tie, and says that there will be
more interest takensin the Ari-
zona situation than ever before,
as a Consequence of this large
shipment. Democrat.
