Cattle Growers Association

At a meeting of the Cattle Growers Association of this coun- ty, held at the offices of Herndon and Thompson, last week Tues day evening, the names ef twenty two cattle growers were added to the roll of that organization. The meeting discussed matters of vital importance to the people engaged in the growing of cattle and 1t was considered one of the necessities that rangers be appointed by the board of supervisors to police the ranges of this and adjoining coun- ties. c. w. Hale was selected as one of the rangers, another one will be selected for duty north ot the river. The pay of these ranger police will be paid in part by the county and the Association.
 When the meeting adjourned it was to meet in the same offices on the goth of January, 1913, at 6 p. m., when very important business is to be taken up and considered. Every member of the Association and those having interest in cattle raising are asked to attend. - Kingman Miner.

The Lobo Wolf

The cattlemen in this section of the country are circulating pe- tition which will be addressed to Governor Hunt, asking him to include in his call for a special session of the legislature a propo- sition to increase the bounty on lobo wolves and mountain lions, The bounty was reduced by the legislature to S5 for the hides of wolves and lions. The cattlemen claim this bounty is not sufficiently high to induce hunters to go after these animals. Era.

Los Angeles Market Letter

Los Angeles, Cal.-Dec. 28, IoI2. IT Plenty of Arizona men are down here now for the Holidays, C. J. Babbitt, David Rabbit, Bainbridge, Hi Fuller, High linus from Blackberry, Geo Carter from Prescott and score of other lights in the cattle business.
 There is an agitation here con- corning union stock yards, as stock is being sold in a proposed stock yards proposition. Person. ally the idea of a union stock yards backed by the right people appeals to me but in talking with the Arizona men they are not in favor of it as far as l can ascer- tain. The men behind the present enterprise are unknown to me personally so can say nothing of the matter, except that l am told that the packing houses and prin- cipal large operators like Fuller, Kern County, Russell Bros, Fred Bixby and some others don't seem to know much about it. I doubt
 
 very much if any stock yards deal can be made success in this city without the cooperation of the operators and packing houses here, as we'll as the large outfits like Rabbits, Pollock, Reid Evans in Arizona, and Parsons, McCor- nick and such men in Salt Lake and the Kern county, McKittrick, C. C. C Hooker and Vail outfits in southern Arizona.
 l handle more feeders than any single individual person here yet no man has approached me rela- tive to the new stock yard deal, and what information 1 have had is mostly from reading circulars and advertisements offering stock for sale. l have not bought any stock.
 Beef prices remain good and will be better. Prime steers are bringing S6.75 in Imperial and Phoenix and ought to go better in February and March. The price delivered Los Angeles IS placed at g prime steers. There is no ac- tivity as yet for spring but there will be a good healthy demand. California is dry yet but has every prospect for rain. Of course a California drouth would supply many cattle and would cut the normal demand.
 There are now on feed about IS, ,ooo head in Salt River Valley 20, ,ooo in Imperial Valley to 5000 Bettoravia, 1000 Oxnard district, 8, ,ooo Bakersfield district. Such evidence would foretell consid- erable beef shortage this spring especially as California grass cattle will be late. Phoenix should get a top price for their uncontracted cattle and : to 73 would not surprise me for choice lots of steers before the end of March.

BIG IRRIGATION
 PLAN IN ARIZONA

Preliminary steps toward carry ing out one of the largest reclama- ton and water storage projects in the United States have been taken here by the Verde Water & Power company. Thousands of acres along the Verde river, in Yavapai and Maricopa counties, are to be placed under irrigation.
 Appropriations of water for this purpose have been filed in the office of the Yavapai county re- corder. Water is to be drawn from the Verde river, in winch there is an ample flow now unused. A dozen skies at which small storage dams are to be built have been located.

Kansas City Market Letter
CBy J. A. Rickart. correspondenp

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 30, IoI2.-A run of I5,ooo cattle here to-day was sufficient to re- move little of the gloom accu- mulated last week by the market, sales of beef grades to-day ranging from steady to ten lower. Repair work to the extent of 25 to 50 cents was done on the market last week, more than that on fair to good beef steers, though there was some weakness developed Thursday. Stockers and feeders are steady to 10 higher to-day, spectators and country buyers showing no timid- ity on account of the bad acting of the beef cattle market. December cattle receipts here will foot up fully normal as compared with receipts for the month for a num- Der of years back, and exceed the supply of last December more than poo head, or B per cent. The best steers are selling I.5o or more below the high time, partly because of a sharp decline two weeks ago, but mostly because all the prime cattle are sold before Christmas, as rule, hence quality of the highest type is absent tor a month or more after the holidays. Colorado bred steers, fed in Kansas, topped the beef market here last week at o.Io, and bulk of beef steers sell at 6.75 to 8.25. Meal fed cattle are running freely, and the best ones are selling at 6.75 to 7.55 here to-day. Total run of Southerns here to-day o3 cars, including considerable Ar kansas snd Louisiana stuff at $50 to 500.
 The hog market is , to 10 higher to-day, top 7.45 bulk 7.I5 to 7.4o. Owners in the country ap- pear to be having the best of the finish fight now going on between them and packers. About the only consolation packers have is in the hope that later receipts of hogs will carry more flesh, if they are not greater than expected, and that after the spring pig crop has been delivered, there will be ex- tensive fattening of old brood sows, with large summer runs of heavy sows.
 Sheep and lambs are strong to- day, run 5000 head, top lambs $50. Lambs appear safely en- trenched above the eight dollar limit, and yearlings are strongly held up to 7.5o for light ones, wethers worth up to 5.S5, ewes 1Z5

VIII Again Sell Seals

The Minnesota Association for
the Prevention and Relief of
Tuberculosis announced last year
the end of the Red Cross Christmas
Seal sale in the state of Minnesota.
This was done because the officers
of the Association thought the
people were growing tired of
soliciting merchants and others to
sell the seals, and that many people
having bought them for so many
years would feel that they might be
excused from continuing the
practice. However, DR.. Farrand
the Executive Secretary of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis,
did not agree with the state COM
mlttee in these views. He has
pointed out the fact that there are
probably communities in this state
that wish to sell seals, but that no
community can be allowed to sell
the Red Cross Seals except by ar
rangement with the National As
ISOLATION, and this arrangement
must be made through the State
organization, He has emphasized
the great educational value of the
seal sale.
Although the anti-tuberculosis
crusade has been urged upon every
civilized community for many
years, yet a large proportion of the
population in every country does
not appreciate its significance, and
still has to be taught its lesson.
Therefore, the National Associa-
ton IS unwilling to allow such an
opportunity as seal selling
campaign to go by unutilized.
For these reasons, the officers of
the Minnesota Association have
surrendered the position they took
last year and have promised the
Executive Secretary of the National
Association that the sale of seals
Will be continued in Minnesota as
he requests.

OUR WATER
State Board Of Health Officer Gives
Interesting Details

B. M. Mohler of the Laboratory
division of the State Board of
Health recently was in Ely and
installed hypochlorite plant
at the city water works. Mr..
Mohler has the following to say
regarding the hypochlorite treat
ment of water in general and the
Ely water in particular. This
coming on the heels of a city wide
discussion is timely. Mr.. Mohler
says:
The hypochlorite dislnfecting
plant for rendering the public
water supply suitable for drinking
purposes was installed by the State
Board of Health under whose
jurisdiction comes the treatment of
all polluted public supplies. Such
treatment is almost a necessary
adjunct to a filtration system.
The fltering operatian carries with
it guarantee for the removal of
a certain percentage of bacteria but
none for the removal of the typhoid
fever organism. Since this guaran-
tee falls short of 100 percent
efficiency, the germs present in the
filter effluent might just as we'll be
of dangerous nature as otherwise.
For this reason calcium hypo-
chlorite is used quite generally in
connection with filtration plants.
This chemical has selective action
for organisms of the intestinal group
including the bacillus of typhoid
fever. A small amount of it usually
renders a water supply free from
these Objectionable and dangerous
bacteria.
A decided advantage in treating
a filter effluent is that large part
OF the organic matter including
bacteria, has been removed in the
process of filtration, and thus but
small amounts of chemical are
necessary for treatment of the same.
These are the prevailing conditions
at Ely.

Statement of the Ownership
Management, Etc.

WITH the beginning of the fall
trade, our business men should sit
up and take notice. There is no
use expecting the residents of this
section to 60 around with a micro
scope trying to find out whether
this or that is sold in our town.
The only plan that will work is to
keep everlastingly telling them
what you havs on hand. That is
the way the up-to- date merchants
gets their trade. There is no reason
why the people of this vicinity
should be expected to adopt any
different method in regard to trad
ing than other places. Tell them
what YOU have; let them know what
it costs, show them you can save
them time and money by buying
from you, and then they will come
to your store and not carry home
mail order catalogs.
There are hundreds of people
within a short distance of town W he
scarcely suspect what there is fol-
sale i'll your store. Let them know
where you are. Invite them tC
your store. Tell them about your
bargains. Show them that yor
want their trade just as much as il
is wanted by out -of-town merchant:
and a little more, by the way-and
they will begin coming to you
But if you sit and expect them tc
hunt you up, you are going to be
very sadly disappointed.
