LITTLE DAISY IS
 SHIPPING ORE DAILY
(From Thursdays Dailv)

NHIOlII HUI quay OduEJ
 Corroborative of the strong show ing the Little Daisy has made in re cent development, it was learned yes tcrday from Major A. J. Pickrell, oi the consulting engineers office, that daily shipments are being made of a full carload to the Copper Queen shelter at Douglas, and this output would be maintained indefinitely.
 The remarkable mineral situation of this movement of ores is decidedly interesting, fer the reason that the grade of the second class ore ranges from l6 per cent to Is per cent, while the firstclass reaches to as High as 56 per cent Of the tonnage avail able in both classes, Major Pickrell stated there is an abundance to main tain shipping for months to come general underground conditions be- ing decidedly healthy as new explora- ton goes ahead Nothing as yet, however, has been determined in pen etrating ore bodies on the 1,400 foot level where development continues under encouraging conditions. He left yesterday for the camp to join Mfr. Douglas, who is making an ex- tended stay this trip, and both will make the usual inspection of under ground conditions.

RATE THE SAME, BUT
 VALUE IS INCREASED
(From Thursdays Daily0

N
 One dollar on each $l00, the same rate as last year, was fixed by the city council yesterday, acting as the board of equalization, to raise funds to meet the expenses of the city for the coming year. Although the levy is the same the valuation of property was increased about Is per cent to meet the deficit, caused partly by the decline of the license revenue as result of the prohibition amendment. The increase in valuation by the council will probably run between $5,OOO and $1OOOO more than the as scssment turned in by the city as sessor.
 About the only decrease over last year came on liquor stocks, saloons and property in which saloons were located. One of the big factors in last years assessment roll. the Ari- zona Brewing Company's plant, was reduced to almost nothing, because at present it is absolutely worthless, with the exception of part of the machinery. Mayor Timerhoff de clared that even with the Is per cent increase the city for the coming year will have to be run very economically to stay within the amount raised by taxation.

FOOT AND MOUTH
 SCARE CAUSES DECLINE

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, August l8.-Cattle made some ad- vances last week after Monday, and closed the week strong, with packer buvers in the saddle early on the closing days. Today cattle receipts here total 10000 head, and sales were steady to 10 lower, but still slightly above week ago, on beef grades. Suckers and feeders have declined 25 to So cents in the last week, large Ivy due to foot and mouth scare in cident to recent discovery of isolated cases around Chicago. It is not figured that this adverse influence will last. for corn crop prospects all over the corn States are improving daily. and in most of the States east of the Mississippi river stockmen are very low on cattle, having bought very few in the last year, while they have shipped to market constantly. Stock grades of cattle have been sell ing very high here, but young cattle are also lower today. But the whole country east of the mountains is full of feed of all kinds, and stockmen are bound to want cattle. Feeders sold at S6.75 to $790 today, stock grades $6.25 to $7.5O, grass beef steers e sO +o @ on Breeding heifers are selling higher in proportion than any thing else on the cattle list, four car drove of yearling heifers bring ing $7.6O today, 59s pounds aver age.
 Chicago and Omaha had big runs of sheep and lambs today, and re- port sharply lower prices. Receipts here were 5.4OO head which included about 2OOO goats, very light Mons day run. but lambs sold Is cents lower here. account of breaks else where. Two loads of choice Utah lambs, 69 pounds average, sold at

 PREMIUMS FOR SCHOOLS
CFrom Fridays Daily)

CFrom Fridays Daily)
 Superintendent Baker of the Edu- cational Department, of the North ern Arizona Fair has changed the premium list in his particular section to meet the requirements of all schools.
 While there was a little complaint last year regarding the divisions, this year in order to obviate any possi- bility of unfairness exhibits will be judged according to the rating of the .schools as follows; A. High school and Academies; B. The so-callcd advanced grades" or town and rural schools; C. Elementary schools of five or more teachers; D. Elemen- tary schools of three or four teach ,ers; E. Elementary schools of one or two teachers. However, that no limit may be placed on any pupils ambition, an individual pupil may en- ter competition in any division out side his own, provided he does not attempt to enter any class represent ing grade lower than his own. In all cases, the first prize is blue rib bon; the second, a red ribbon, and the third prize, a pink ribbon. No school will be allowed to offer more than three exhibits in any one class, The entries in the school exhibits. as in practically all other departments close not later than Thursday, Oct 2l. The judging will be completed on Friday, Oct 22
 Neatness and uniformity in mount ing and preparing work for exhibit will be considered in judging IL is required that all exhibits shall rep resent work actually done in the course of regular school work and must be accompanied by statement from the principal or teacher of the school in which the exhibit has been prepared certifying that such is the case. It is the intention of the man agement to discourage any so-called "show-work" or the repeated correc- ton of work until all mistakes are re- moved. All work must have been done since October Y, 1914 Booths will be assigned each school upon ap- plication to the superintendent and exhibits will be arranged by a rep resentative from the school Work should be mounted on grey or brown mounts-no mounts to exceed 22X28 inches in size-and names and ad- dresses of pupils written on the back. Rurals schools. which cannot conven- iently secure such mounts. will be furnished mounts by the manage ment, and representatives of schools who bring exhibits to the fair will be furnished the necessary opportunity and facilities for mounting in the office of Superintendent Baker.
 The following selections for com mittee chairmen bave been made: F. w. Hart, high school; c. w. Par sons, elementary school; w. Curtis Miller, rural schools.

E. s. DAWSON IN JAIL
 ON CHARGE OF FORGERY
(From Fridays Daily.)

NEIOm rIluay DaHy.)
 Denying the charge of forgery made against him E. s. Dawson, a former cook and bookkeeper, was ar rested yesterday by Undersheriff Marks and Chief of Police Robbins and lodged in the county jail to await arraignment before Justice of the Peace McLane. Dawson is charged with obtaining $45O box of cigars and $25.50 in cash from E. A. Kast- ner & Company by making out 2 check to the latter and signing 1t with the name of Ed Doyle, a cigar dealea in Phoenix. According to the story related by I the authorities yesterday, Dawson on Wednesday night called Kastner's grocery store by telephone and asked to have box of cigars and change for $50 check sent up to room Il in the Palace hotel, claiming that his name was Doyle. Jess LeBarron, he clerk at the store, called up Kast- ner at his home, asking whether he should take the cigars and cash the check Kastner said to cash the check if the party was really Doyle Le- Barron also knew Doyle, and started for the Palace with the cash and the cigars. When he reached the room the door was opened partly, and the man who was taking the part of Doyle extended his hand taking the cigars and change and handing out the check LeBarron wanted to see Doyle and asked to be allowed to enter, but Dawson refused, say ;ng that he was undressed and was going to bed. Yesterday morning it was discovered that the signatur, !, was not Doyle's and the sheriff's office was notified. They had a short time ago handled a case similar to this in which Dawson was impli- cated, and in which the proper evi dence could not be obtained. As a result Dawson was suspected and a hunt was made for him.
 Marks and Robbins, while Dawson was absent. entered the room in which Doyle was supposed to have been in and found that it was empty After a search on the register it was found that Dawson had a room just down the hall and when it was searched convincing evidence was found that is expected to assist in convicting the alleged forger. A writ ing tablet in which it IS said Dawson had been practicing writing the names of Kastner and Doyle was found. Dawson was taken into custody abou. noon in the redlight district. The check was made out on the National Bank of Arizona at Phoenix When Dawson was arrested 50 cents was found on his person.
 DaYson. about five months ago, completed serving term of % days in the county jail for obtaining money under false pretenses, he having ob- tained $500 from B. B. Dolly, he rn- derstanding that Dawson was going into the bakery business. Dawsaa left town and when he was brought back the cash had disanneared.

TO SPEND
MILLIONS

Plans to dyke both banks of
the Stuck river practically its
entire length with concrete and
incidentally burden Pierce county
taxpayers with an additional as
sessment of several million dol.
lars therefor, are being seriously
considered today by County Conn
missioner Williams, according 10
his associate, Commissioner Reel.
Williams is spending Washing
tons birthday making a detailed
personal survey OF the river and
the improvements already under
way there, for which King and
Pierce counties are paying jointly
the sum of $1,500,000, already
appropriated.
Whether or not the land to be
benefited would be worth several
millions more were Williams
plan adopted, apparently has no;
been considered.
Williams believes the Stuck
waters will always-cause trouble
unless the stream is dyked with
concrete" said Commissioner
Reed this morning. "He is SCI
rious I'm his claim. .serhaps he
is right, although the old board
of commissioner went into the
matter pretty thoroughly and it
was their conclusion that $1,000
600 would take care of the White,
