tion in other quarters that the former

STATE FAIR MAY BE
 ABANDONED THIS YEAR

PHOENIX, July 21.-One possible result of the sl,ein of red tape in which the appropriation bill is en- meshcd may be the abandonment of the state fair for 1915
 The legislature appropriated the funds for the fair, but because of the governors anxiety to readjust the bill my way" the state auditor finds him self compelled to hold up payments under the measure pending a deter imitation by the courts of the legality of the act and of how far the chief ex- ecutive had a right to go in altering the acts of the legislature.
 It is already past time to place ad- vertising, printing and other contracts, and important preliminary work should be under way With no funds available. this work cannot be ac- somplished and it is announced at the office of the commission that unless the matter is settled within 30 days it may be necessary to abandon the fair for this year.

MUST EXPECT TO
 ENCOUNTER MIR. TROUBLE

(From Thr-sday's DaiIy)
 J. H. Morgan, state deputy of the Knights of Columbus, will leave the latter part of this month for Seattle to attend the supreme international convention of the order, which meets there from August 2nd to 9th. It is expected that 2,OOO or more peo- pie will be in attendance from the councils of Canada and the United States. That the delegate from the wilds of Yavapai will be well pro- tected during his sojourn in the northern city is shown by the receipt of a card yesterday from the chief of police there, Louis AI Lang, which reads as follows:
 "The courtesies of the police de partment of the city of Seattle arc extended to MT. Jos. H. Morgan"
 The friends of Mir. Morgan, who were shown the card yesterday, ex- pressed the hope that he would not attempt any strong-arm work and be forced to use the credentials given him by the police department to get him out of trouble.

HEAD FIRST INTO
 DEEP WINZE; ESCAPES
(From Saturdays Daily.l

(From Saturdays Daily.)
 Thomas SprouIe, a former resident of this county and a miner by occupa- ton, writes from Clifton of the mi raculous escape from death of his cousin, George D. Wright, who work cd in Jerome mines few years ago.
 The latter was going on shift on the A. & s. mine, new copper prop erty, and had been directed to enter winze, from the first level. Wright stepped to the side as a miner came along, and it is presumed his foot struck piece of loose ore, when he was precipitated head first below for distance of over 40 feet. In the fall it is probable his body hit the side of the winze, throwing him in to a different angle, as when he struck the bottom the brunt of the fall was borne by his right side. The winze had an incline of about 45 degrees, and when Wright was picked up his right collar bone only was fractured, his wrist sprained and few bruises were on his head.

IMPORTANT WORK COM
 PLETED ON LAND PROJECT
(Frnm Sundays Dallyl

That adjunct of the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Co. on Granite creek, known as the diversion dam, to dis tribute waters to certain lands under development in Lonesome valley, was completed yesterday afternoon and is ready for service.
 This structure is located one mile below Lake Watson and was con structed by Nancy Brothers, who also built the big dam. It has length across the stream of over 100 feet, a heighth of nearly 20 feet, and is built of reinforced concrete. Apprcciative of summer rains filling Lake Wat son. the water in which Is now to within 20 feet of its capacity, occas- toned activity during the past two weeks to have this unit ready in case of a possible overflow taking place. Connecting with this storage division, the main canal leads to the lands, work on which also has been rushed in recent weeks. This waterway has length of over IA miles, and yester- day it was completed for over 10 miles of that distance. It will carry 100 feet seconds of water, which 1t is estimated is sufficient for the devel- oping purposes decided upon.
 In the land department of this pro feet over 2,5OO acres are ready for developing and it is expected that in side of 60 days the first irrigation will be given.
 Alfalfa and winter grains will be the first crops grown, it is stated, and after the arrival from Indiana on Monday of several of the principal stockholders, an important as well as broad plan of large land reclamation will be considered. It is also quite probable construction of the second storage dam on Willow creek will be definitely acted upon. Lake Watson yesterday showed slight gain in elevation since rains of the past week have commenced to flow in Granite creek.

 According to private telegrams re ceived in Prescott yesterday, Little Daisy stock on the Boston curb on Thursday afternoon was quoted at S612H per share, with but few sales being closed. Less than one week ago the quotation was $55O per share, and the advance made since that time is believed to be due to the excellent showing made since drifting goes ahead on the 1,40O-foot level, the deepest point reached.
 Arrivals in Prescott yesterday from Jerome stated there is no question over the future of this property, and it is predicted that inside of 60 days, S1O per share will he reached. Very few in that community are selling at the present price.

QUICK RECOVERY FROM
 SLUMP IN CATTLE

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, July 19-A quarter to fifty cents was taken off cattle values last week. due to the advent of large delegation of grass cattle at Western markets gen orally. Prime fed cattle suffered somewhat in the general slump.
 Receipts here today are $500 head, of which 1,6OO head are yarded in the Southern division, and the drop in the supply from last Monday, when 13,OO0 head arrived, resulted in an active market and considerable recovery in values.
 Prime steers, including numerous lots from Clinton county, Mo-, the corn and blue grass section, brought $9.S5 to $1O1O, on a parity with a week ago A drove of 100 head of yearlings, brought $9.85, $50 pounds average. Greenwood county, Kansas, steers climbed back up to $9.6O to- day, about as good as best time last week. Texas steers in the native division brought $730 for which $7 would have been the price last Thurs day. The rank and file of cattle moved at slightly better prices than the middle of last week South Tex as grass steers sold in the quarantine division at $6.40 to SIPS, and Okla homa grassers weighing 900 pounds at $6.S0 were considered higher than they would have sold last Thursday Ten loads of R. E. Gatewood's steers, around 1,2OO pounds, from North Texas. brought $S.40 in the quaran- tine division. Stockers and feeders sold slightly better, but without any special dash.
 In the hog yards the supply was 5000 head, market steady to five lower for an hour or two, during which time order buyers made their purchases, up to $770, including choice heavies at $7.65. Packers bid 10 to Is lower prices, paying $7.35 to $7.5O for most of their hogs, around $7.3O for rough heavyweights. Pro visions prices have sharply declined recently because of England's inter ference with shipments to neutral countries, and recent weakness in hog prices is traced to that cause Prophecy is made that hog prices will decline till England abides by the rule of international laws and ceases to interfere with shipments of food products which laws the state depart ment at Washington is demanding shall be enforced.
 Sheep and lamb receipts are COOK head. Lambs dropped close to $l.5C in value last week, but sales today were still lower, top $7.60 paid fol several strings of Arizona spring lambs. Sheep prices are holding uT well, some Arizona ewes today a $66O, no pounds average. Aged sheep prices are considerably above Chicago, because of scarcity here Demand for breeding sheep and feed ing lambs Is developing, and prom ises to be very heavy. Recently therC has been practically nothing in either line offered, a few feeding lambs to day at SIPS.
