COTTON ADVANCED
ABOUT 50 A BALE
Market Very Active for Past Six Days
Review of Conditions,

New York, Aug. 22.--The cotton
market has been very mucl more ac-
tive during the pas. week. with prices
selling up nearly 30 points or about
81 pei bale from receut low records
on general buying inspired by less
favorable view of the coming crop.
The continuation of dry, hot weather
in the southwest was accompanied by
numerous reports of serious deteriCr-
alton in the crop outlook both in
Texas and Oklahoma, while scattering
reports of deterioration also came in
from the eastern belt, and, at times
the market seemed nearer a crop scare
than at any other period so far this
season. Probably an idea that the all
most universally favorable view of the
prospective yield prevailing earlier in
the summer had resulted in the forma-
tion OF very large short interest con-
tributed to the advance and bulls also
argued that too many people We're
waiting for the new crop movement to
making a buying basis Reports of
scattering rains or showers in the
southwest checked the upward move
ments around ll.65 for December
contracts, however, and the market
To-Day was nervous and irregular, with
sellers claiming that neither the adj
vance nor the character of the crop
news had materially stimulated the
demand from the spinners and that
the reduction in the short interest
would render the market much more
sensitive to any real break in the
drouth, or to increasing new crop
receipts. Bearish views were less
generally and more guardedly eX-
pressed than earlier in the month,
however, suggesting that the develop
ments of the week had shaken conf
dence in the very large crop views to
some extent and while it was felt that
many depended upon whether the
southwestern droughth was effectual-
ly broken, many traders were pre-
dieting continued nervousness pend
ing publication of the September bu-
reau. This report, which is expected
at noon Sept 2, is now thought likely
to show a considerable deterioration
for the month, although some predict
that actual condition will prove near
ly equal to the September bureau of
1911.
Recent expansion in commercial ac-
tivity is generally maintained, al
though more or less irregularty is

HOGAN'S MEN
 PULL COMEDY
After They Have EXhibi- tion With Stockton Men of State League Sewed Up, They Switch and Pitch Outfielder.
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

LOS ANGELES, oct. 6.-Venice toyed for seven innings today with the pennant winning Stockton club of the State League, cinched the game in the eighth and turned it into a comedy in the final period of play. The score was ' to ? because the Venice players and the umpires did not elect to make it otherwise.
 The Stockton club had very little to do with the result They fielded poorly and hit apparently, only when the Ven ice pitchers willed it and were slug gish on the bases.
 Roger Edmondson started in the box for Stockton. He assumed the batting as well as the pitching burden for his club, driving in both runs with a three base hit. He retired in the seventh in ming in favor of Lewis, who proceeded to parade the Venice batsmen with bases on balls.
 In the ninth inning, Venice switched it's Outfielders 10 the infield put pitch CTS in the outfieId and sent Pitcher Ra- leigh to cover first base while Patsy" O'ROurke undertook the twirling task Catcher Sterrett contributed to the farce by changing his init to his right hand and throwing with his left
 Happy Hogan, manager of Venice, assisted by Jimmy Tomas in the um- bring In spite of Hogan's efforts to hand the game to Stockton. the visitors were powerless to take advantage of his aid
 The game was played for the benefit of the players.

MT Tossing together with J. K Wheat of the Riverside Nursery. and Frank Moody of Arlington betoOk them out on Thursday in the drec- ton or that section where deer were said to be plentiful. While the actual direction taken by the three gentle men is not known, and they refuse 10 say much about it, it is known that It IS fifty miles from somewhere.
 Starting on Thursday morning the three went fifty miles or so. then after making camp and deciding upon general direction by reason of tracks and such signs as hunters best know. they came upon the deer early Satur- day morning. Wheat shot one in jig time, while Tossing went for another. His rifle and MOOdy'S popped together and both shot the same animal at the same time.
 The bodies were skinned and the quarry placed upon the horses and the party started for home. They went first to Arlington, MT. Tossing there taking the train for Phoenix where he arrived on Sunday. It was l good hunt

.GOV. M DONALD
 HERE FAIR WEEK
Able Executive of Sister State of New Mexico Promises to Visit Phoe- nix and Arizona During Fair Week.

Governor w. C. Mcdonald, the able executive of the new state of New Mexico has notified Governor Hunt that he will visit Phoenix and Ari- zOna for the first time since he has been governor, during Fair Week and take in the big doings of that era of many happenings. Governor Mcdonald will be accompanied by Mrs. Mcdonald. The New Mexico governor will probably arrive from his official residence in Santa Fe over the Santa Fe on Tuesday morn ing and will stay for the balance of the week.
 This will be the first visit of a blown in the bottle governor to Ari- zona since the eventful fourteenth of February 1912, when Arizona as sumed her starship in the flag of the Union.
 Governor Hunt met Governor Me Donald at the Governors Conference in Colorado Springs this summer and was impressed by the ability of his fellow executive. Governor McDon- aid has a career to be proud of Not only is he the first governor of the state but he personally head ed a democratic landslide against rotten politics, and while cattle man himself, the head of the largest cattle interests in New Mexico the sheep men even voted for him so strong were they in their confidence in Bill McDonalds' squareness.
 He has been a resident of New Mexico for many years coming ori- ginally from New York state there. He is a civil engineer by trade, but has been cowboy, merchant, and cat tleman besides. For several years he was a member of the Cattle Sani- tary Board of New Mexico.
 There are numbers of New Mexi- cans in Arizona who are glad that New Mexico's governor is coming to visit the sister state.

PRIVATE CAR
 LINES TAXED
New Law Permits Tax Commission to Reach Companies With Assess ment of More Than Mil lion and Half.

The state tax commission yesterday 1 completed the schedule of amounts as- 1 sessed against the private car lines do- 1 ing business within and without the l state of Arizona, which totals more than a million and a half of dollars. In the year 1912 an attempt was made to get taxes from these companies but without much result One company went so far as to tell the commission Tn sworn statement that while they did business through Arizona to the extent of nearly $5OO,OOO, not a dollar of that income came from Arizona.
 It was realized then that some sort of change must be made in the law so as to reach this deficiency, and conse- quently the pro rata income law was passed which imposes a tax upon the business of the private car lines ac cording to the amount of mileage the cars run through the state. This has had the effect of lining the companies up with the following amounts:
