spesd of a=Hara.


 Some motorists in the Belfast North ern Whig tell a very interesting story that illustrates how fast. a hare can run. At certain part of the tour the way ran straight for about two miles, with banks and hedges on either side. Just about the beginning of this stretch hare started out from the side and dashed along in front, right in the center of the road. It's ears were laid back, but every few seconds it raised first one ear and then the other, evidently to hear if the great racing enemy was coming too near. The speed of the motor was increased until 1t reached twenty six or twenty-seven miles an hour. If increased further it would have run down the hare. The race continued for almost a mile and a half. At last an open gate into a field appeared, and through this the ami nal dashed The motor was slowed down, and from the slope of the road the men could see the hare running at full speed right across the large field Evidently it had not been tired by it's mighty efforts to keep ahead of the automobile.

Col. A. O. BrOdie
Placed on Retired List

Col. Alexander O. Brodie, one of
the best known officers of the
Army, was placed on the retired
list on the 18th inst, on account
of age. Until recently Col. Bro
die filled the post of adjutant
general of the western depart
ment, with headquarters at San
Francisco. His career in the
Army has been a most distin-
guished and eventfuI one. After
his graduation from West Point,
in 1870, he was assigned to the
First Cavalry, with which regi-
ment he remained until he re-
signed from the Army in 1877.
During these seven years he was
an active participant in the In
dian wars in the west. After
his resignation Col. Brodie en-
gagged in civil engineering min
ing and cattle raising until 1898,
when he joined Col. Roosevelt's
Rough Riders. He was lieuten-
ant colonel of that organization
and returned to New York. He
was governor of Arizona from
1902 to 1905, and was then ap-
pointed major in the regular
army. He spent two years in
the PHILIPPINES snd four years as
adjutant general of the depart
ment of Dakota. In 1911 he was
transferred to San Francisco as
adjutant general of the western
division.

SOmerS Assessment SyS-
tenn To Be Discussed

To discuss the Somers system
of real estate assessment with the
members of the Arizona tax COM
mission, Walter w. Pollock, head
of the Manufacturers Appraisal
company, of Cleveland, will be in
Phoenix early in December.
For some time the tax COM
missioners have been considering
the installation of the Somers
system to Arizona. 1t is a sys-
tenn of basing real estate val
uations on public opinion, and has
worked successfully in number
of large cities. Most of the Tex
as cities follow it.
Mr.. Pollock has written the com
mission that he is to be in Port
land, Oregon, November 20.
From there he will go down the
coast to San Francisco, Los An
geles and San Diego, reaching
Phoenix early in December.
Letters are being sent out by
the state tax commission to the
various county assessors, asking
them what date they would per-
fer for the annual assessors con-
ference. It is probable that the
conference will be held in Tucson
early in December. The law
leaves it to the tax commission,
however, to fix the time and place
Last year the assessors met at
Yuma and passed a resolution rec
ommending that the next meeting
be held at Tucson. 1t is likely
that the commissioners will heed
that expressed preference.
Numerous important matters
are to be discussed at the 1913
conference.
The mine tax law will probably
come up for a thorough discuss
ion.

Stake Academy Notes

The musical department is un-
usually busy preparing for Thans-

partment will give a trett along
this line.
Thanksgiving will be most
appropriately celebrated in the
dedication of the Academy Build
ing. If you haven't seen a pro-
gram, make a donation to the
Academy.
The steps for the building are
being finished this week as we'll
as other rock work about the
grounds. The steps are being
made of concrete, this fact to-
gether with their broadness and
general appearance combined
with the massive columns, give
the building a substantial and
beautiful appearance.
The Seniors and Juniors are
rivaIing each other in their eff
forts along the dramatic line.
The Juniors will demonstrate
their degree of perfection on Fri
day, the 21st. The Seniors are
to give us literary treat the
evening before Thanksgiving.
Students be patriotic and support
your classes, don't be 'pikers. .
The night of the 9th will be
appropriately celebrated by an
Academy Ball. 1t needs no ex-
planation. The following even
ing will be occupied with an
oratorical contest interspersed
with some excellent musical
numbers. There is a medal to
be awarded to the winner in the
contest and the privilege of en-.
tering is open to any student.
The winner will work hard be-
cause we are informed that there
are a number in the field.
The basket ball boys were dis
appointed in not meeting Flag
staff, Saturday, last. The Flag
boys were just as anxious, we
are informed by their coach, but
late train is an obstacle where
even the brave may pause. The
school team took revenge on the
Militia boys, who dared to offer
themselves as a sacrifice. -usu-
ally the way a good turn is ap-
preciated. The Militia was
trimed to a score of 19 to IL.

Registered Tournament

The most notable event of the
week was the registered tourna-
ment held Tuesday, November
18th, under the auspices of the
Holbrook Gun club. Besides the
local club members participating,
there were men from New Mex
leo, California, Phoenix and Will
liams, Arizona. There were
also those two veterans at the
traps, Huntly, of Kansas City,
and Ford, of San Jose, both of
whom are known throughout the
United States as two of the
worlds best amateurs. Huntly
made a score of lat, $50 being
high gun. He broke over one
hundred of the elusive clays
without a miss thereby adding
another of several gold bars on
his Du Pont long run trophy.
We were more interested, how
ever, in the shooting of the local
boys, which was, considering
the short time they have been in
the game, extremely good. Sew
eral of them scored 80 percent and
over, getting we'll up in the mon
ey and demonstrating the fact
that they trot in the fastest COM
pany and hold their own.
The business men contributed
literally toward making the shoot
a success financially, enabling
the club, with it's own contribu-
tion of $50 and $50 from the in
terstate Association to add 5000
to the program, which consisted
of ten fifteen bird events with
entrance fee of $11 for entire
program.
After the regular program,
Captain Hardy, a world renown-
ed trick shooter, entertained the
large crowd with some fine ex-
hibition shooting.
The club expects next year to
hold a larger tournament last
ing two days.

Phoenix Ships Her
First" Carload of Cotton

For the first time in history a
carload of cotton was shipped
from Phoenix last week. The
shipment consisted of forty bales
and was consigned to the big
Clark mills of Westerly, Rhode
Island The approximate value
of the carload is 81, 500.
Last year cotton was shipped
from the valley at Glendale.
This year there are several ship
ping points in the valley with
Phoenix the largest.
The forty bales making up the
car consist of approximately 500
pounds each, making a total of
about 10000 pounds at 21 cents
per pound. The value of one
car of cotton equals a train load
of hay. A car of hay is valued
ats bout $100.

Arizona Crops Are
Better Than Average

Arizona's crops for 1913 are six
teen per cent better than the aver
age according to a report just is
sued by the department of agricul-
ture.
This is the second year that Ari-
zona has led all the states. Last
year the Arizona crop yield was
1889 per cent of the average.
The average yield of a state is
based on returns for a number of
years. Increased acreage does not
figure in this computation. The
report of the department shows
that Arizona farmers are increas-
ing their production, taking area
of titled land into consideration,
faster than the farmers of any
other state.
In 1912 crop yield of the United
States was only about eighty
per cent of the average and in 1913
was approximately ninety percent
In these two bad years Arizona
has forged steadily ahead.
Minnesota comes next to Ari-
zona this year, with yield of
114.61 per cent of her average.
Last year Georgia was second
with 1912 per cent.
