PRESCOTT TO BE A
BUSY BURG IN JULY
(From Thursdays Daily)


That Prescott will be busy lit
tie burg during the early part OF
July, especially during the Frontier
Days, July 3-4-5-6, is evidenced
more every day. The demand for
houses is setting in earlier this year
than heretofore, for one thing. Then
reservations are being made at the
Yavapai Club and other places OF
entertainment by some of the most
prominent people of the State, evin-
cling their fear that adequate accom-
modations of the best sort will be
hard to get later.
Conventions galore promise to
head for the Mile High City during
those days, too. Several are already
secured and some are in process Of
arrangement with the Secretary. w.
D. O'Neil, officer of the day, Phoe-
nix Camp United Spanish War Vet
Grams has written to the secretary
desiring to know if proposition to
hold a State Encampment at Pres
colt during Frontier Days would
meet with any encouragement upon
the part of the Chamber of Com
merce and the local camp.
Secretary Fraser is in correspond
ence with Mr.. O'Neil and will be
glad to receive names of Spanish
War veterans in this city or coun-
ty, who will assist him to land this
important meeting. He is at work
on the meeting OF the Arizona Good
Roads Association which it was
voted last week in Phoenix to hold
here on one of the Frontier Days
This meeting will be Statewide in
interest and attended by some OF
the most prominent citizens of
Arizona, of whom it is hoped to
get at least 100 delegates interested
! in State road construction and main
.enance. All this meeting, some So
luton of the problem of State
system of highways will be attempt
ed to be reached.
The Prescott Trap-shooters' Club
according to a report from ] NJ.
Aitken, chairman, has already a
membership of IS. This club, it is
hoped, will be strong enough with
in thirty days, to plan for a tourna-
ment, to be participated in by clubs
at Flagstaff, Kingman, Williams and
Holbrook, to be known as the
Northern Arizona Trap-shooters
League, to take place during From
tier Days.
AT the meeting of the executive
committee of the Northern Arizona
Fair Association yesterday, it was
decided to allow the construction
by the locals club, of a trap. The
location on the associations grounds
was left to Chairman Frank Wits
man, of the Grounds Committee.
A budget was formed, by the pre-
sentation by committee chairman,
OF approximate amounts required by
their departments. President Fred
ericks did not allow any of these
amounts, but requested the chair
men to meet Saturday afternoon at
o'clock at the Chamber of Com
merce and see if they can pare
down their expected quota by that
time.

LOSS MADE UP ON
STOCKERS AND BREEDERS

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
April 27.-Cattle prices advanced
enough last week after Monday to
make up for the loss that day, ex-
cept in the case of stockers and
feeders, which closed the week 10
to IS lower.
After the middle of the week
packers exhibited anxiety about
prospective supplies for this week,
indicating that they need beef. The
break in stockers and feeders at
tracted buyers, and 1900 head were
taken out, as compared with 5000
head same week last year. Total
cattle receipts were 5000 short of
same week last year, and the extra
number taken by country buyers left
killers 10000 head short of same
week a year ago, which was some
reason for anxiety on their part
about prospective supplies here this
week.
Chicago reported a decline of Is
cents on beef grades last week. The
supply today is 1000 head, which is
third less than came in last Mon
day, and the hopeful tone inaugu-
rated last week bore fruit in the
shape of 10 higher prices today.
There was a fair number of natives
today at $500 to $500, middle
grade steers at $50 to $3.50, cows
$5.75 to %75, bulls $3.50 to %.25,
veal calves So to $3.50. Western
pulps and alfalfa steers sold well
today, the Gebhart Colorados bring
ing SS75, against $8.65 for them on
each of the last two Mondays.
Other Colorado and Western steers
sold at $40 to $3.50 Receipts of
quarantine cattle are light, and it
is good time to have some cattle
in the Southern division. Light
two-year-old Oklahomas topped the
market there last week, at S7.S5, and
some yearling steers and heifers
brought 81 today. Stock cattle and
feeders range from $675 to So,
which is slightly lower than prices
year ago. A slump in provisions
broke hog prices last week al
though more than half the loss was
recovered before the close. Lower
provisions at this time are illogi-
cal, as much cured meat will be
needed in operations against Mexi-
co, particularly in the army, as the
navy is the only branch of the SER
vice that can use fresh meats to
advantage. Receipts are 1000 to-
day, and the month to date is 80
per cent short of last April, which
is anything but a bear argument.
Prices are steady to higher today,
packers buying good many hogs
steady. Order buyers paid the top
$50, and packers stopped at sos,
bulk of sales $40 to $8.65.
Texas sheep prices are softening,
but goats are stronger today. Col
oraio lambs are up 10 cents, Colo
RADIO wooded lambs sold at $3.50 to
S8.l5, Western ewes up to S6.25,
clipped lambs around S6.75, Texas
wethers IS to S5.35, Texas ewes
S425 to S.. goats $3.15 to $365,
Colorado offerings are dwindhng,
hence the strength shown, and there
is good outlet for goats, both to
killers and to country buyers.

REDEWILL OFFER OF
BAND IS RECEIVED
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednes day's Daily.)
The most helpful factor in last
years Frontier Days celebration
was DR.. Francis H. Redewill, who
with the best band in Arizona un
der his baton, was kind enough to
furnish splendid music during the
opening day. He has written to
Secretary Fraser stating that he will
bring his band of from twenty to
twenty-five pieces to Prescott on
July 3, and remain with the show
until the last item has been per-
formed.
1t is DR.. Redewill's proposal to
rehearse the members of the Pres
colt band with his men and thus
turn out an augmented band, prob
ably of forty pieces.
Robert Z. Morrison was assured
recently in Phoenix by John Metz,
the prominent banker of Tucson,
that at least two coach-loads OF
visitors can be secured for From
tier Day from Tucson, Bisbee and
other southern Arizona centers, il
reasonably low railroad rates can
be assured and the Secretary is
taking this matter up with the San
ia Fe today.
Federal Judge Sawtelle has al
ready requested reservations at the
Yavapai Club during the days of
the celebration for himself and two
young sons.
Roy B. Lewis, of Brawley, Cali
| fornia who recently sent in a sign
ed entrance blank for competition
in several items of the contests,
says: 81 like the show and your
rules are fine and / certainly will
/ be there. Although ! will be busy
| will get away for a week or ten
days because from the way every
thing reads, you are going to have
/ the best show that has ever been
pulled off I thank you for giving
me the privilege of entering for
these contests and send best re-
CARDS to you and all the boys" Mr.
Lewis was one of the successful
competitors in the 1918 Frontier
celebration here.
Lucille Alulhall, peerless girl ran
ger, and one of the most celebrated
women contestants in the world of
Western sports has written to Mr.
Haworth, offering to come and give
roping exhibitions and to throw and
tie a steer each day. Lucille says:
Il might arrange 10 have two or
three boys with me who are the real
thing in bull-dogging, steer roping
and trick riding, and also a real
pony express rider. roped at the
Stampede, Winnipeg, last Septem-
Der, also at Calgary the year before
Up to this writing, l am the only
woman that roped, threw and tied
a steer before the public. l was
given the credit last season of max
ing the Stampede success"
From all sides, appreciation is re-
ceived as to the fairness OF the
rules. VIM. F. Martin, says that
from the arrangement as set forth
in the preliminary prize lists, he is
sure this is going to be the best
show yet. Martin was d successful
contestant at Cheyenne and Pen
dleton and is a trick rider and roper
of exceptional ability.
A meeting OF the executive COM
mittee of the Northern Arizona Fair
Association and all the heads OF
the subcommittee has been called

JAPAN TO ENTER COTTON FIELD

New York, Sept. 2.-It is estimat-
ed here that Japan will invest upward
of $1O0,000,000 in cotton in the open
market here if she can get a low
enough price. Houses with Japanese
connections make this estimate and
declare that Japan, backed by British
tinanciers, intend to enter the field in
China which German and Austrian
cotton cloth manufacturers have
heretofore monopolized.
The reasons TO rthis are, first,
splendid water-power facilities; sec
ond, cheap labor, and third, the Jap
anese merchant marine, which has
been growing tremendously in the
last few years.
