Development of the States Resources De.
 pendent Upon Adequate Railroad Facilitie,

and shipping facilities to farm land values
 The value of farm lands per acre in IlGIi nois is $95.O3; Iowa. $82.58; Ohio, $53.34 v while in Arkansas it is $14.13. These fcS ures constitute the average value through. r out the State mountain and bottom landsh and without farm buildings and equipe nlent u
 The value of farm property and equip11 ment per acre in the States named are asu follows: Illinois. $120.08; Iowa, $110.4O.8 Ohio, $7893, and Arkansas, $22.97.
 It is evident that Arkansas needs morn railroad mileage. But it is impossible, unr der the present two-cent rate, by which that railroads are losing instead of makinI1 money, for them to build needed extensions,. and spend money on improvements and,, equipment, etc. It is equally unlikely that, capital can be enlisted in railroad building
 in Arkansas where under such law fait' return on the investment cannot be exse pected. The railroads are asking the peo.. rle through the legislature, to restore the' : taree-cent rate and to pursue policy Cte encouraging railroad building and extenl
 sion to develop the States magnificent res sources They take this means of present1e ing their case plainly to the people of tha, State, believing in their sense of justice amr, fair play. Help bring prosperity back tl

Fourteen crops, covering 300, ,782, 900 acres or g per cent of the nations cultivated area are included in the report, and the combined farm value of all products is es- timated at $4, 946, 900, 900.
 Although the 1914 production is ten per cent greater than the previous year the aggregate farm value is $20, ,000, 900 less.

ISN'T IT THE TRUTH?

There are fancier towns than your own little town; there are towns that are bigger than this, and the people who live in the tinier towns all the city excite ment miss. There are things you can see in the Wealthier towns that you can't in the town that is small, and yet-up and down there is no other town like your own little town after all. It may be the street through the heart of your little town isn't long, isn't wide, isn't straight, but the neighbors you know in in your own little town with a welcome your coming await. In the glittering streets of the gilt tering town with it's palace and pavements and wall, in the midst  of the throng you will frequent ly long for your own little town after all. You measure a town, not by it's money, or miles it's border extends; the best thing you can have, wherever your town, are contentment, enjoy ment and friends. If you'll live aid work and trade in your town in spite of the fact that it's small, you'll find that the town your own little town-is the best kind of a town after all.- Exchange.

The mutual interest of the farmers, man. ufacturers and merchants with the rail- roads must be apparent almost at glance. It matters not how rich the soil, its value must depend upon the facilities for reaching a market for it's products.
 To illustrate: Arkansas has the largest peach orchard in the world; the peaches gre sent in carloads and trainloads, and not only go to the large Eastern cities, but have even been shipped to Europe But of what value would these peaches be without rail- road facilities to get them to market? Hence the progressive farmer seeking a To- cation in the State wants to know what transportation facilities exist. Also, it is in evidence that the value of farm lands is in direct ratio to transportation facilities
 Arkansas, with an area of 53,335 square miles, has railway mileage of 5,396 miles, or about one mile of railroad to ten square miles of area The great farming States of Illinois and Iowa have more than double the railway mileage per square mile than Arkansas has. Illinois has 13,11 miles of railroad Iowa has 10,161. Illinois has mile of railroad to four square miles of ter ritory, approximately; Iowa, mile of rail- road to five square miles of territory; Ohio, with only 41, ,04O square miles of territory, has 9,463 miles of railroad, or mile or rail- road to four and one-half miles of terri tory.
 In this connection, it is interesting to note the direct effect of railroad mileage

 We note that you appealed to this commission only when the Arizona Copper company apparently had re- fused to pay the men operating the plant. IT the men operating the plant were not selected or employed by the Arizona Copper company, it appears to us that they were wholly within their rights. morally and legally, in refus- ing payments of salaries or wages for men selected by yourself
 Your telegram is at variance with the statements of the company in thar you did, on the evening Of September 3Oth, through your deputy, McCuiloch, go to the power plant at the smelter and informed the men that they must quit, that he was going to put men in their place. We are advised that this was done This same procedure was followed at the substatiou in Clifton on the morning of October 2nd. We are advised that you removed men from the plant who were familiar with its operation and placed others in charge of the work We are not informed except by your telegram, that the company had refused to sup ply service.
 This commission had ordered the company to render service and had they refused, would have been in con tempt of the commissions order and subject to penalty The extent of your activities in the premises should as we view it, be confined to protect. ing the property and their men in the operation of same and we shall await with great interest a full and complete statement of the facts"

BIGGEST SHIPMENTS
 OF CATTLE IN THE
 HISTORY OF COUNTY
Two Hundred Thousand Head of Cattle Are Shipped From This Section Within the Past Year to the Eastern Markets.

DOUGLAS, Dec. 8-That the cattle shipments from Arizona during the past season were the greatest in the history of the state. was the statement this morning of A. G. Bass, travelling of the Union stock yards at Fl Paso Mir Bass says this was partly due to the heavy shipments from Sonora into Arizona and thence to other places early in the season be- fore the quarantine went into effect but was due in a greater measure to the poor condition of the Arizona range. which was worse the past sea- son than in many years.
 The present season is now practi- cally at an end and few cattle will be until the spring MT. Bass says that during the past season the Union stockyards handled 100000 head of cattle. most of which were shipped 10 other states where the range is bet ter Most of these cattle came from Arizona, New Mexico and west Texas, and Santa Cruz. Pima and Cochise counties were heavy shippers in this state The 100000 head by no means represents the total shipments made through Fl Paso, as there are other stockyards there, though the Union yards handle about SO per cent of the business. MT Bass says
 During the past two months the Union yards have handled 150O0O head of sheep from Chihuahua. which seems to contradict the report that Chihuahua was denuded of stock sev- eral months ago.
 Mr Bass says that while in Tucson yesterday he met K. II. Cassab, of San Francisco, who has contract with the Allies of Europe for the delivery of 3O,0OO head of horses and 100000 sheep He had a large part of the

PHOENIg- That Allen and Abbey, attorneys for Ramon Villalobos, sent enced to hang Dec. 10, are preparing to file application for a writ of habeas corpus in a last effort to save the condemned man from the gallows is indicated by advices from Florence. In case such a move is made, no mat ter on what ground the writ will stay the execution if it is still pending at the time set for the execution.
 Villalobos' attorneys filed an appeal with the supreme court seven months after he had been sentenced to hang and long after the time limit for ap. pealing had expired. The appeal was dismissed by the supreme court as frivolous Now it is believed Villa lobos' attorneys will try the same move again.
