FOUR MILLION DOLLARS
WORTH OF CATTLE TO
Be SHIPPED

Four million dollars worth of
cattle will be shipped out of
Northern Arizona this winter,
according to 0. N. Creswell,
state inspector of weights and
measures, who has just returned
from the north, says the Arizona
Democrat.
Il talked to a number of cat
tlemen, and they seemed to think
that at least 100, 900 head of cat
tie will be shipped from Yava-
pal, Mohave. Coconino, Navajo
and Apache counties this win
ter" Inspector Creswell said.
The average price will be around
SAC a head, which will bring the
total up to 81, 900, 900. Yearlings
are selling for $25 and $50 a
head and an ordinary kind of a
COW brings $35 or $40. Steers
are selling above $50. These
prices are for feeding cattle, re-
member. Most of the stock now
being shipped will have to be fed
several months before going to
the block.
George Day, Levi Young,
James Cashion and a number Of
other Salt River valley buyers
are purchasing cattle and ship
ping them to this country. Thou
sands of head are going to Colo
rado, Wyoming and Idaho.
more cattle are being bought
by the Cudahy Packing company
than any other concern. This
company is buying cattle and
shipping them to California to
hold till 1915 when the big expo
sitions will attract hundreds of
thousands of people to the Pa
cifc coast. The Cudahy buyers
are particularly anxious to get
young cattle, but are not passing
up any that they can get.
Though the last summer was
a dry one, the cattlemen Of
Northern Arizona were never
more prosperous. They are get
ting prices for their cattle that
they never dreamed of asking
two years ago, and prices are 60
ing up steadily
Inspector Creswell visited all
the towns on the main line of
the Santa Fe between Kingman
and Holbrook. He paid special
attention to the cattle scales and
found most of them accurate.

FEDERAL COOPERATION
FOR GOOD ROADS

Secretary Houston of the de-
partnent of agriculture saws that
the state and federal govern
ments should work together for
highway improvements III order
that a large proportion Of the
money annually spent for road
construction may not be wasted.
In his own department the of
flee of public roads has been
demonstrating the value of prop
er road building by the construc-
ton of certain object-lesson roads,
md the forest service is carry
ng out his idea of national and
state cooperation in road build
ng. The law requires that ten
)er cent of the gross receipts
from the national forests shall be
spent IN the states in which the
,orests are situated. This money
S expended for road improve
nent under direct control of the
secretary of agriculture.
The amount appropriated un-
Ter this act, based on the re-
,eipts of the national forests for
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1918, is 1924, 638.68. From the
1912 receipts for this ten percent
road item, there is an additional
1884, 831. 10, which is still avail
able.
In administering the ten per
cent road fund, forest officers
charged with the actual plans
and expenditures in the neighbor-
hood of their forests have, in al
most all cases, secured an equal
or a larger cooperative fund from
state authorities for the building
Of certain pieces of road.
"a With the money thus expended
many important roads are being
Quilt or put in repair. One on
the Wyoming national forest, six
miles long, makes accessible to
farmers a large body of timber
and opens up a region of great
scenic beauty. In northwestern
Arizona, part of the fund will be
used in connection with the Le-
Fevre-Bright Angel road, import
ant because it makes accessible
to tourists the Grand Canyon of
the Colorado. In one place, the
Ocean to Ocean Highway crosses
the Apache national forest, Ari-
zona, and on this project the for
est service ana the local author
tiles cooperated enthusiastically.
On the Florida national forest in
western Florida steel bridges and
graded roads have, under the
stimulus of this fund, taken the
place of corduroy, bog, and sand.
This federal road fund is now
available in all national forest
states of the west. Just as fast
as returns come in, the forestry
officials say, q similar fund will |
become available in states in
which eastern national forests
are being secured.

LIVESTOCK INCREASE ON
NATIONAL FOREST
RANGES

A marked increase in the guam
tity of livestock grazed on nation
al forest ranges during the past
fiscal year is reported by the for
est service. Nine and half mil
lion domestic animals have been
occupied during the summer in
converting one of the by-pro-
ducts of the forests into meat.
hides, and wool. In addition.
there were in round numbers
three hundred thousand calves
and colts and FIVE million lambs
and kids exempt from permit
and therefore not enumerated.
According to the figures gath
cred, the amount of stock grazed
under permit during the year is
over four per cent greater than
for the previous year, while the
number of permittees using the
forests for pasturage purposes
was increased from &c, sol to 81
466. The total receipts by the
government from grazing fees
for the twelve months ending
June 80, 1913, were $1,OO7, 739,
and the portion of this applied to
schools and roads in the states in
which the national forests are
situated is about 1852, 70S.
Grazing is second only to lum-
bering as principal use of the
national forests. Practically all
of, the national forests used ex-
tensiYely for grazing purposes
are within the eleven states ex-
tending east from the Pacific
Coast, known as the far west
ern group" These states con-
tain, according to latest reports,
8, SAG, 900 cattle, 2,810,000 horses
and mules, and %, 366, 900 sheep.
The national forests support in
these states II per cent of the
total number of cattle grazed, 3.
48 per cent of horses and mules,
and 27.5 per cent of sheep.
It is estimated that the annual
product of these animals is 3OO.-
900 head of beef cattle of various
ages and grades, and 100000
head of lambs and mutton sheep.
Since the average net meat
weight of a beef animal is SIS
pounds, of a lamb 81 pounds, and
of a sheep 81 pounds, the stock
grazed on national forests in the
eleven far-western states produce
annually about 156 million pounds
of beef and 312 million pounds of
In addition, it is said the
wool grown totals 55,000,009
pounds, hides approximate 30O,-
900 in number, and pelts 5,0C0,-
900.
This output, according to the
forest service, does not involve
any material sacrifice of forest or
watershed protection or perman-
ent forage productivity on the
national forests. The system of
range management applied by
the government has proved, it is
claimed, effective and simple, and
the quality and quantity of the
national forage crop is said to be
improving each year.

FOUR GOOD ROADS BILLS
TO BE SUBMITTED
TO CONGRESS

A Washington dispatch dated
October %, says:
At least four good roads meas
ures will be submitted to con-
gress at its regular session. They
have all been under consideration
at one time or another.
Senator Swanson, of Virginia,
would appropriate 500, 900, 600 a
year for fifty years for the build
ing of public highways to be used
by the government in the trans
mission of the mails, on condi-
tion that the states shall contri-
butte a like amount to be used for
the same purpose.
Ex-senator Jonathan Bourne
would lend the credit of the gov
ernment to the states to the ex-
tent Of $3, 3,000,0)0,000 for the
building Of good roads.
The American Automobile as
sociation would have the govern
ment build a great national high
way across the continent at the
expense of the government.
Representative Shackleford, of
Missouri, has proposed in pre-
vious congresses and will propose
at the regular session of the pre-
sent congress the least deserving
of the measures that have been
suggested, and dangerous beyond
all other schemes because it will
appeal to the cupidity of millions
men all over this country.
The Shackleford bill provides
for taking out of the national
treasury from $40 to $25 mile
a year, depending on the charac-
ter Of the road, for each mile Of
rural delivery route in the Unit
ed States, and that the expendi-
ture of this enormous sum of
money shall be committed to the
officials of the counties through
which the road run.
There are now about l, 100, 900
miles Of such roads in the United
States, and if the Shakleford bill
should pass it would mean that
the government would have to
distribute annually as rental for
the use of the rural delivery
routes apout S22, 100000. There
is no provision that this must be
spent on the improvement of
roads under competent direction
and careful supervision; but, so
far as the bill provides, could be
used for the purchase of tabacco
or whisky or anything else. Last
year the bill passed the house by
over two-thirds majority, but
was killed in the senate.
1t is understood that Mr..
Shackleford will introduce his
bill in the early part Of the next
session and make a determined
effort to get it through congress.
If it should be passed it would
not only take out of the treasury
for absolute waste, so far as the
building of good roads is con-
cerned, but it would break up eff
fectually state organization and
bring a great constructive policy
down to the basis of county
graft.
Talk about the national pork
barrel-this would be a national
pork hogshead, and it ought to
be knocked on the head.

NORTHERN ARIZONA
FAIR AT PRESCOTT

at PRESCOTT, and all arrangements
are completed to entertain the
big crowds.
Monday night there will be a
special dramatic performance by
the artists of the Selig Polyscope
Co., under the direction of Act
ing Manager VIM. E. Duncan, at
the Elks theatre. This program
will be augmented by various
vaudeville specialties by the
members of the company, and
some of the moving pictures in
which the artists appear will be
shown.
Tuesday there will be a per
feet Baby" show, under the di-
rection of C. c.. Baker, repre-
sentative Of the Armour Packing
Co. Beautiful silver cups will
be awarded the most nearly per-
feet babies of Northern Arizona.
There will also be prizes of Ar
mour hams and other Armour
products for the mothers who
exhibit the best pair of twins,
the best set of triplets, the best
four of kind and the finest full
house five. A special prize will
be awarded the mother bringing
to the fair the largest number of
children-her without re-
gard to their ages.
Under the circumstances, there
can be no doubt that every man,
woman and child who can get to
Prescott during fair week will
have the time of their lives. Al
though there undoubtedly will be
a very large crowd, the Pres
cottonians have already perfect
ed arrangements which insure
that there will be accommoda-
tons for all who may come. The
usual prices will not be exceeded
in any instance. Prescott has al
ready shown her ability to take
care of big crowds at the recent
Frontier Day celebration and con-
ditions are even more favorable
at the present time. There will
be special railroad rates from all
points.
The chef race will be a free
for-all half mile race for the
championship of Arizona, with
prizes for the winners of each
days race. There will also be
two big prizes each day for a
half mile COW boy race. A two
mile relay race, run with four
mounts, will be another daily
feature, in which the practical
men of the range will be able to
exhibit and profit by their skill
and daring.
For the cow boys, there will be
a line of sports that will keep
the grand stand in a perpetual
state of excitement. These in
clude steer bull-dogging, steer
riding, goat roping, bronco bust
ing, and a wild horse race, in
which each contestant bitches a
wild horse to a vehicle and drives
him a half mile.
Among the other feature events
that will be presented by the ag-
gregation of expert rough riders
and eXponents Of the Wild West,
will be Roman standing races, in
which the rider drives two horses
simultaneously, a horseback po-
tato race and an attack on the
overland stage coach. There will
be prizes for trick and fancy rid
ing and also for trap and fancy
shooting.
Interest in the, track events
will be greatly augmented by
the fact that a troop of cavalry
from Fort Apache has been or
dered to Prescott during the
week of the fair, and the men,
who are probably the best and
most daring riders in the world,
will not only narticinatn in +ha

To Fruit Growers;
Cedar Rust Notice

The rains which occurred April lt
TO Is caused the cedar apples to be-
come gelatinous and spore production
took place. The cedar apples began
to dry up on April 16 and dissemina-
ton OF spores began. The maximum
spore distribution took place April II
and few spores are still flying. The
next rain will bring about anotherf
distribution of spores which will be OF
less Importance than this last.
The York Imperial apple trees were
not far advanced at the time OF max
imum spore production and escaped
infection to q large extent. Suisse
quent infections will take place how
ever with the occurrence of warm rain
and spraying should be practiced.
The first application for cedar ru {
should be made when the bloom has
largely fallen from the apple trees, i.
Q. when about one fourth Of the bloom
still remains on the trees. This Is
the earliest date at which spray ma
terial can be applied without killing
the fruit. At this time the fruit is set
and there is no danger of killing 1t
The bees have greatly ceased to visit
the blossoms at this time end the petals
are ready to drop from the last of the
bloom. Arsenate of lead is fatal to
bees and should not be applied In
spray until after the fruit Is set.

Ate Strychnine Tablets.

Luray, April 23.-The body OF
James, the two year old SON of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Cave, both
formerly of Page county, was
brought to Luray last Saturday,
land from here taken to the home
of its grandfather, Mr.. Mass"
Cave, near Stony Man. The
death of the little boy was caus-
ed by the mistaking strychnine
tablets for candy. The tablets
were found on a stand in the
sick room of the boys mother.
After eating a small boxful he
died, shortly afterwards in vio-
lent convulsions.
