Sheepherder Shoots Companion

Antonio Martinez, a sheep herder in the employ of Frank Golassary near Dry Lake, was brought to Holbrook last Satur- day night suffering from two gun-shot wounds inflicted by another herder named Max Con- tareo. The wounded man was given surgical attention by Dr. J. w. Bazell and Sunday after noon was sent to the Milton Hos pital in Flagstaff. He will proba- bly, recover.
 The shooting was the result of a feud which had existed among the men for some time. A short time before, Martinez had threat ened Contareo with a gun, and had forced him to kneel ard beg for his life. When Martinez had desisted from hls gun-pIay and had started away, Contareo brought his own gun into action and fired two bullets at his tor mentor. He then left camp and has not yet been located by the sberif's office.

Pigeons as Pets

An idea adopted by the Pan anna California International Exposition more than a year ago to aid in giving a final artistic touch to the Spanish influence of buildings and grounds is rapidly turning into a commercial pro- position with big returns Tn view. Everybody who has visit ed the San Diego Exposition knows about the thousands of tame pigeons that perch on the shoulders and heads of guests Tn search of food.
 A few days ago. an eastern visitor approached one of the Balboa guards with a beautiful white pigeon eating wheat from her hand. ''I want to buy this pigeon" she informed the guard, land if yon refuse to sell it, 1 promise to steal it and take it out of the grounds willy nilly." " The guard reported the matter to officials and was advised to ask what the visitor would pay for the pigeon. Without hesita- tion the visitor offered S2.00, and she was given receipt for the pet.
 At the present time there are almost 5000 pigeons in the plazas and almost as many more ting birds nesting in the pigeons lofts. Instead of worrying over the question of carrying for the enormous increase, Exposition officials beain to see visions of a big income from raising "extra tame" pigeons for the pet mar ket.

Lumber Business Changes Owners

kuHIOSI DuSutSSS OItSItSOS
 Last Saturday a sale was con- summated by which c. P. Cooley became the owner of the Hol- brook branch of the Carbon City Lumber Go. MT. Cooley took possession of the business at once and has arranged with M. A. Cousins to retain his old posi- tion.
 This business was established in Holbrook about one year ago by the Carbon City Lumber Co. of Gallup. MT. Cousins was placed in charge by the Gallup owners and from the first day the business has shown a steady growth and a good dividend payer.
 MT. Cooley recently sold his ranch and cattle interests. and, after Investigating various bus mess propositions here and else where, decided that nothing bet ter offered than the proposition to buy a lumber business.
 MT. Cooley's decision is cause for qualification among the peo- pie generally. He is good bus mess man and IS possessed of sufficient capital to handle the business in good shape. More over, he is a Holbrook man, and the money he makes will remain in HoIbrook.

Kansas City LiDestock Prices

Kansas City Stock Yards. June 5, 1916. Good prime steers sold fifty cents higher last week, some sales of strictly prime steers 75 cents higher, but medium and low grades of cattle worked lower and stockers and feeders lost 'around 50 cents. Today receipts amount to 12,000 cattle. and the market is again stronger on good to prime steers, also on butcher grades of cattle on stockers and feeders, but medium and cheap steers continue to work lower. A feature was some strictly prime pulp fed steers, four cars brlng- ing $10.80 and 5 cars $1O.75, bulk of the pulp steers $1O.25 to $1O. 75. Strictly prime natives were lack ing, else they would sell up around $11.00. There is a dispo- sition to push immature steers forward. for feeders realize that in short time grass cattle will be abundant. and prices on them will be low enough to lead pack CTS to substitute. hence will hurt all but the best fed cattle. In the quarantine division 85 cars arrived, practically all from Tex as. and a sale at $10.00 made a high record on quarantine cattle. Bulk of the quarantine fed steers were only medium quality, and sold weak to 10 lower, at $7.50I to $8. 75. Some grass steers brought $6.95 to $7.15, including 6 cars from South Texas at the latter price, $50 lbs. ayarage. Stockers and feeders sold strong CT today, most sales of good steers at $7.75 to $500, some cheap stockers around $7.00.
 Hog receipts were 16. GOO head, a thousand below the estimate, and the mafket followed the lines laid out last week. largely 10 lower for the day, top $9. 40, bulk $9. 10 to $9. Demands on killers is moi as urgent as hereto fore, because of larger supplies. ] and a slackening of Consumption, 1 due to hot weather. and the mar ket seems slated for a lower level during June. Good rains over Kansas and Missouri made farm work impos le in many places, hence the good snpply today, but a stretch of dry weather might result in lighter supplies and a | temporary advance. as farm work must be prosecuted when oppor- tunity offers this month.
 Spring lambs are off 50 cents today, due more to a fictitious advance last week than to real weakness in the market. lambs | selling here 25 cents above Chicago last Thursday. Spring | lambs brought $1O.75 to $11.50 | today, including medium Arizonas at $1O.85 and $11.00. Arizona yearlings, 84 lbs. at $8. 75. | Native and Arizona ewes are worth $7. 25 to $7. 75 for slaughter. breeding ewes $6 to $7. Texas muttons are lacking. worth SIPS to $7.75, about 5000 goats are here today, fat goats steady. around $2.25, brushers 10 lower, S5. .00 for good Angoras.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 81. =
Heads OF the big railroad systems,
after days of committee meetings and
one conference with President Wilson
on the threatened strike, have been
invited TO a second conference at tie
white House this afternoon.
Hopes for a peaceful settlement oil
the difficulties between the railroads
and the brotherhood unions Of en-
ployes are somewhat brighter today,
and the prospects for at least tenn
porary adjustment are fairly good.
This morning the railroad presi.
dents, 33 of whom were in conference
with the president on Saturday, con-
ferred for several hours, endeavoring
to reach form Of settlement which
will still preserve the principle of ar
bitration for which they have been
all along contending.
They will probably suggest legisa-
tion by Congress to create board
authorized to investigate the threat
ened trouble between employer and
employe. II created by congressional
act the formation of this board will
be such that during its investigation
neither a strike nor strike vote will
be permitted.
George Pope, president of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
has telegraphed President Wilson,
whose every energy is concentrated
TO bring an advantageous understand
ing out of the alarming situation. urg-
ing upon the chief executive that he
do all In his power to preserve the
principle or arbitration in the anti.
strike negotiations.
The president has telegraphed re-
ply to Pope, declaring that the plan
now under consideration to prevent,
If possible, an actual walk-out of the
railroad employees. is calculated to
strengthen rather than weaken the ar
bitration principle.
Further, the president declares, 1t
is absolutely essential to the CONNER
cial and industrial peace and prosper
ity of the United States that some
means must be found, and found
quickly, not only to relieve the pre-
sent serious situation, but to so estab-
lish the attitudes OF the railroad en-
ployers and railroad employees toward
each other, that such conditions as
now menace the transportation arter-
les Of the nation can never be repeat.

II is understood that the railroad
managers are preparing a counter
proposal to the presidents sugges-
tion that they accede to the employees
demand for an eight-hour day, and
leave the matter OF pay for overtime
to be settled later.

ARMY OFFICERS
CHOOSE AVIATION
field FOR OAHU
Fort Kamehameha Site, About
i 200 Acres, Recommended
.... !. to War Department
MANY APPLICATIONS
FROM W0UlD-BE FLYERS

Army officers have selected the site
CT the future Oahu aviation camp, and
with the choosing of suitable field
the organization of the Aero Club Oh
Hawaii is expected to be undertaken
shortly.
Gen. Robert K Evans, comma nding
the Hawaiian department. Is an active
and enthusiastic supporter OF the
plans for developing aviation here and
has asked the war department for "a
biplanes and two civilian instructors.
The field chosen is at Fort Kane
hameha and has many advantages. 1t
Is easy of access from Honolulu and
has facilities for both land and water
flying. 1t is on the eleft of the road
approaching the Fort Kamehameha
buildings. There are approximately
200 acres in the field, and the water
hangar used will be on the site cho-
sen by Lieut. Harold Geier, the
aviator who some time ago made
experiments here with the idea of de.
veloping service flying in Hawaii.
It will be recommended to the war
department that this field be used.
Interest in aviation since Gen.
Evans announced plans has grown
steadily and rapidly. Applications by
would-be aviators are coming in at an
unexpected rate, both from civilians
and army men. Already about doz-
en- Schofield Officers have applied.
The National Guard headquarters
here is receiving applications from
guardsmen and civilians.
