 October ?, 2S and 2o, were the dates last night set by the Northern Arizona Fair Association for the initial annual fair to be held this year in Prescott. Plans to insure al suspicious and successful event were furthered. Splendid committee re ports and announcements of pro gress made submitted at last nights session augur well for the attain ment of an unprecedented success.
 Although the matter of selecting the dates for the fair was left m the hands of the Associations exc cutive committee, President R. N. Fredericks stated last night that he would prefer a general decision in the matter. His suggestion that the aforementioned dates be selected met with the unanimous approval of the entire membership present.
 Prior to the selection of these days, which come upon Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, President Fredericks announced that the Verde Valley fair would be held on Octo- Der g and 24 In this way the Verde people will be afforded ample opportunity to remove their exhibits to the local exhibition after their show is concluded. Another i'm portant feature in connection with the selection of the dates is that four days time is permitted for the re- moval of the local exhibits to the State fair at Phoenix which opens on November 2 In this way the local fair should materially assist the State fair in the collection Of ex- hibits.
 -Inasmuch the dates selected were regarded as made to order" there was no discussion upon the point and by unanimous vote the motion was passed.
 Now that the dates have been def initely selected the various commit tees will become active along their various lines. President Fredericks has called a meeting of the executive committee and the chairman Of the various committees to be held i'll the Chamber of Commerce on Saturday afternoon. At this time definite plan of action will be mapped out.
 President Fredericks last nigh; named the various members of the committees as follows;

Ed. Stephens returned yesterday from Coconino County, where, for the past ten days, he has been d guest of William Rabbit, of the we'll known firm of Babbitt Broth CTS, and reports that the season IS the worst experienced since the drought of 1904
 Heretofore, cattlemen have been able to market at least 75 per cent Of their steers at beef prices; but this years sales will hardly average ten per cent and there is some doubt that the stock cattle can be wintered successfully.

CALLS A PIONEER OF
 THE 6O'S
H. H. CARTIER, LOVED BY ALL, JOINS SILENT MA TORITY AFTER LONG ILLNESS.

Another Arizona pioneer, H. H. Cartier, has answered the summons, his death coming peacefully, yes terday morning at the State Hospi- tai, near Phoenix, from a mental collapse, after three years of illness.
 The news of the death or this well-known citizen comes as ? se- we're blow to the dear ones, but to his legion of friends was not un- expected, as a forewarning of the approaching end came few days ago.
 Mir. Cartier was a man of excep- tional ability until his breakdown. So exemplary was his character, SO trustworthy was he regarded in every official and prsaate dealing, that he had filled every office in this county, with only one excep- ton, that of the district judgeship, so capably and conscientiously that not complaint was ever heard dur ing his public career. Personally, he was one of the most genial of men. He had resided in Prescott since 1868
 The remains arrived from Phoenix last night on the 12:l5 o'clock train and will lie in state at Ruffner's chapel until tomorrow afternoon, when they will be laid away in the Citizens cemetery, by the side of the deseased's father and other rel atives.
 MT. Cartier was born in Utica, Mich, September 12, lS49. When mere boy he removed with his parents to Mount Clemens, Mich, where he received his education. In 1868 his father was appointed by President Grant as associate justice of the supreme court of Arizona and hither father and son came, arriving that year via the Isthmus of Panama and San Francisco.
 In the early 70's the deceased studied law and a few years later was admitted to the bar in Pres colt. This beginning of professional life moulded his future career, and his abilit yreceived immediate rec ognition, he having been elected 70 every office he sought.
 On March 2, 1874, he was married to Miss Serilda A. Miller, who sur wives, and whose faithful and sin cere devotion to the man of her choice is beautiful. tribute to wife hood. Due to a strenuous official career of over a quarter of a cen tury, the fine mind of the deceased was unbalanced. Surviving relatives are: Mrs. J. w. Pierce, a grand daughter, and Mrs. A. A. Vannoy, an adopted granddaughter. A broth CT, D. K. Cartier, resides at Jasper, Ala, while two sisters remain, Mrs. F. C. West, of Detroit, Mich, and Mrs. F. S Church, of West Bay City. Mich.

The country looks like a checkerboard in its verdant condi- ton, and rangemen are somewhat pessimistic over the discrimination of the clements in favoring one locality and overlooking the other. he states an immennsen amount of water has been flowing down dry gulches, and which if conserved would have proved of incalculable benefit to the range and the farm

 E. A. Marlowe and Ed Gilchrist, who arrived from Williamson val ley yesterday morning, report one of the most terrific cloudbursts ever known as taking place in Mint Val ley on Friday afternoon. The lower end of the valley was flooded for its entire width of over 200 yards. the creek being unable to carry away the water. No damage fol- lowed, other than the washing away of several hundred feet of fences The storm extended to as far east as Granite mountain.

HORSE STEALING GETTING ID BE
 LOST ART

DENVER, Colo, Aug. O.-One of the large live stock insurance companies that has been writing in surance to protect against stealing horses and other live stock has de cided to withdraw from the busi- ness in this section of the west
 The stealing of horses, it is stated, has fallen off so that the demand for insurance of this character has been very slight in the past few years.
 q attribute a great part of this to the widespread use of the tele- phone," said an official of the insur- ance company. "In the days when we first began writing insurance on stock in the mountain states a horse thief usually got away with his prize. He was usually mounted on as good a horse as those who followed him and as he had several hours start, was seldom caught. Now 1t is easy to arouse an entire state by tele- phone, and cause the arrest of all suspects until the thief is found. Since one telephone company covers all the states in the inter-mountain country they pay special attention to emergency messages intended 10 recapture stolen horses. The owners of horses seem to have come to the conclusion that 1t is better to spend their money for telephone tolls than to lay it out for insurance. Tn the past year we have had many owners of stock refuse to renew their policies, saying that the pres ence of the telephone in their house was a practical form of insurance and that stealing stock would soon be a thing of the past. Nearly all of them told of some incident where stolen stock had been recaptured by the use of the telephone and at a cost considerably less than our year ly premium. We used to charge pretty stiff rates, but we have had to drop lower and lower as the telephone has come into more gen eral use and now the owners of stock have come to have a contempt for the thieves, knowing they can catch them easily"
 At the offices O fthe Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company the statement was made that hundreds of captures of horse thieves who have been trying to run off live stock are made every year through their 600 telephone ex- changes. In the seven western states in which the company oper- ates, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah. Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, stock stealing has dimin- ished perceptibly in the past few years. The company sends in general alarm to all offices in the district when notified of the theft of stock and notifies the live stock associations, thus affording a special and peculiar service to the com munity similar to that given by the law officers. In a great many cases the stock thief does not get a dozen miles from the ranch where his crime was committed before the tel ephone has warned the surrounding country and made his escape impos- sible. Evidence against him IS se- cured by the telephone also, mak- ing his conviction certain. It IS estimated the stock recovered last year by use of the telephone amount ed to more than a million dollars.
