CALIFORNIA BOX
FACTORIES DISCHARGE MEN.

Parties who have recently return
ed to this city from northern Cali
fornia points say that the freeze
through the citrus belt has had a
serious influence upon the labor sit
uation in the milling towns of Weed,
Doris, Hit and other centers of the
lumber trade. With the destruction
of a very great proportion of the
orange crop these mills will have
practically no call for packing boxes,
which was their principal output,
and as a consequence the mills in the
three towns mentioned have dis
charged 5000 men.
From southern California come re-
ports of orange groves blackened by
the frost, the trees being killed back
to the trunk in many instances, and
the mills are among the first to feel
the effect of this great damage.

MINER COMES OVER
ROGUE RIVER TRAIL

A. V. Lewis, accompanied by his
wife, arrived in Grants Pass Friday
evening, having made the trip up the
Rogue river from Horseshoe Bend
over the government trial to Galice
and from Galice to Merlin by stage
where they caught the Southern Pa
cific train for this city
Horseshoe Bend is 25 miles below
Galice, and Mr. Lewis is a foreman
on the Horseshoe Bar placer mine
located there He has usually gone
out to West Fork to do his trading,
but now the trail over the divide to
West Fork is under deep snow and
travel that way has had to be aban-
doned. Since the forest service peo-
pie have done work on the trail up
the Rogue much of the difficulty Of
travel this way is eliminated, ami
with the completion of other work
that is now in progress Grants Pass
will get much of the lower river
trade
Mr. Lewis reports the placer min
ers as making good use of the water
that is in all the mountain creeks
now, the mine with which he is con
nected having three giants" wash
ing the gold from the gravel. The
Horseshoe Bar mine is owned by
Portland parties, and some extensive
development work is contemplated.
The water for the hydraulic work on
this mine is taken from the small
streams in the vicinity, the pipe line
Of one Of them being carried across
the river on a cable, and with the
fall that is developed the stream
from the giant strikes with sufficient
force to tear the heaviest boulders
from their beds.
Mr.. Lewis was purchasing supplies
here Saturday which will be shipped
10 Galice and from there packed
over the Rogue trial the % miles to
the mine.

And the old boys with the long boards and the cricks in their backs skip about and try to help teach the young idea.

 Well, maybe the football teams will push through all right and show some kind of speed. If they do, though, it'll be more than likely because most or the volunteer coaches died of old tage on the way.

YUMA HIGH SCHOOL
 SENDS GREETINGS
Football Tournament of Great Good
 Declare Sportsmanlike Youngsters.

That the football series for the de- cision of the championship of the state. held at the state fair, inaug- urated by the fair commission and carried to such a success at the hands of Claude D. Jones and Charles K Pishon, will have lasting results in this state is already being demon strated in the satisfaction shown by the various towns, and their teams, who were entered In the games.
 Before their departure from the city, the members O1 the teams and their managers stated that they were mere than satisfied with the results and the handling of the entrants, and that they would be glad when the time came again for them to enter their warriors.
 Since the time old Doc Jones, pep agent for the Coyotes and one of the foremost boosters for the series, has had several letters indicative of the among those who had their elevens entered.
 The following from Yuma, the team which of all teams might have some cause for a kick in their own minds. but who have at no time to date sug- gested knocking, will be proof suffi- cient of the excellent spirit aroused throughout the state by the commits sion's fair series:

COYOTES OFF
 FOR PRESCOTT
Team Strengthened by Re turn of Cap Brooks to Game-Band and ROOters Follow to Cheer the Boys to Victory

Ed Brooks, captain of the Coyotes, who for the past month has been out of the game owing to injuries re- cciVed in the previous grid meet with the Prescott team, will be in the line up against the same team again when 1he teams meet on the Mile High gridiron this afternoon. Brooks. whose natural position is at half back, will be used at the tackle po- sition today. since it is not cOnsid- cred that his hand will permit his working in the more dangerous back field.
 Brooks, it will be remembered, was injured in the first game of the sea son against the Prescott HodagS Near the end of the game he took the ball off the end of the line for a bie Sain. When he was tackled he fell hard on his arm, which was slightly fractured. The injury, however. was net so severe as at first was thought and has now healed sufficiently to all low his playing with perfect safety.
 The Coyotes Leave.
 The whole of the Coyote team. ac- cOmpanied by Coach Geary, and by "Fergy" Ferguson. who will be one of the officials on the grid today. left last evening on the Santa Fe for the Mile High City. They go there to meet the Prescott team for the third time this season, having played and defeated them twice before.
 With these two tastes of victory in their palates fresh and pleasing. the Coyotes will go up against the Hodags intent on getting an other good feed of bacon for their string of rinds. They are better primed for winning from the north erners at this time than at the time they took tht championship of the state out of the mouths of the Hodae eleven. They have the line strength ened by Brooks; they have had mor= than weeks conditioning and easy work, and they have a new and com - plete set of plays and formations fo1 the puzzling and pleasure of their in tended victims.
 The lineup will be as follows fol 7the game:

Dear MT. Jones-The high school and the citizens of this community have requested me to express to you time enjoyed by them at the State fair. Through your efforts, and the generosity of the managers of the State fair, our football team enjoyed an outing, and the people of this community were stirred to q greater interest in Phoenix and the fair than ever before. It seems that football is Ct more interest to the people of Yuma valley than livestock or vege- tables.
 We found the people of Phoenix good sports, and fair in their treat ment of visitors. Our boys are more than pleased with the welcome ac- corded them by the Phoenix high school, boys.
 Please forget any catty remarks made by any of us during the excite Eent of the game. We have already forgotten any and all unlIind remarks made by the Phoenix team and their friends.
 The people of Yuma have forgotten tEat a State fair was held at Phoenix them all, and all future fairs seem tc present so many more opportuni- ties for football games
 With best wishes for you and the high school team. I am

Members Will Propose the Event for This Winter at Next Meeting of Club Feasibility of the Race is Pointed Out

Now for motorcycle race tc Tucson.
 Finding that the San Diego race was a success. and that it was nice all same cake. the Phoenix Motorcycle club is thinking about a race from the capital to the Pueblo, just to see what it's like. One taste of success has whetted lot of motorbike appe- tites for more of that same.
 The splendid rains of the last few days have made the roads good all tie way to Florence. They are nat urally good beyond. And now comes the motorcycle club with the propo- sition to pull off the real stunt. In cidentally, it will be possible to match the Maricopa Midwinter Motorcade with a CycIecade. The little broth ers'' are on the job.
 If the plan goes tnrough-its hay now-it will mean at least d speed event, if not a sociability run. There is no reason to believe the club cant make this d go, for the last few times il has set it's hand to any task the task rolled over on it's back and waved it's legs in the air-surren- dered
 It will be no small feather in the chapeaux of the motorcycIists if they school force. the band and the root CTS of the high will leave this morn ing for the Hodags' retreat, where they will help their team take the Mountaineers into camp with music and wells. In all, there will be some twenty five Phoenix roOters in the rocters' section of the train. Of this number fifteen are members of the band, and the rest are the deVOtees of the Coyotes. who will follow their team 10 any place to help them in their game and to give them their cheers.

declined four more. to 107, the lowest
price since 1899. when 1t sold at 1854.
Reasons for the reduction, according

MARKET IS HEAVY
AT CLOSING HOUR
Trading, at Low Ebb, Reflects
Little More Than Settle
ment of Contracts.

NEW YORK, July 30.-Steel was
a feature at the opening of today's
stock market, a block of 1000 shares
changing hands at 59A and 59A COM
pared with yesterdays closing price
of 5S%.
II a. inactivity and strength
showed at the opening were of brief
duration. Steel soon penciling a con-
siderable part of its rise. with re-
cessions in other active stocks. I'LL
nois Central fell points and Ameri-
can Express 21s.
Noon-The very irregular tone of
today's early stock market, which
later became decidedly heavy, re-
suited from the excellent quarterly
report of the Steel Corporation,
which was largely neutralized by
further news of blistering heat in
the corn belt and reduction In the
Illinois Central dividend from to
per cent.
l p. m.-Traders showed some eau
ton by putting out additional short
stock after declines had reached l
to ~, under yesterdays close. and
trading slowed down measurably.
Coppers were affected by the check
in the price of the metal. Illinois
Central added another point to its
loss, declining to 1861.
p. m.-Intermittent selling dis
closed little effective support and bear
operators sold stocks with more free
dom than for weeks.
p. m.-The market closed heavy.
Such changes as occurred in the final
hour were in the direction of the bet
terment, but trading was then at
low ebb and reflected little more
than settlement of the days con-
tracts.
