''Doc" Pardee Is In
 Disqualified Class

Doc" C. w. Pardce will be dis qualified for months to come from participating in range festivities. Through an unfortunate accident a few days ago at Garden City, Kan sas, while giving an exhibition of the Arizona way of bulldogging large steer, he threw the critter but was caught underneath 1t. His left shoul- der was dislocated and he sustained numerous bruises.
 During the afternoon he had also showed his skill in the saddle in bust ing a broncho, and in throwing the rope. winning the plaudits of several thousand spectators. His final stunt would have ended his interesting feats of bovine work, but the slippery ground intcrfcred. Pardce was re turning to Prescott from Kansas City where he was announcer for the Roundup. He Is at home for a few days under treatment.

by fossils or other means the orde- in which the beds were deposited, and by putting all his information togetll- CT he constructs what he calls l col umnar section for the district in which he is working-that is, a sec ton showing the order, thickness and character of the beds. Such a sec ton discloses the strata that form the upper part of the earth's crust at that place, just as slice of layer cake shows at glance the various layers of which it is composed.
 After a number of districts in a region have been studied and .hcif general columnar sections determiu- ed, the geologic history of the region can be learned by comparing these sections, just as the engineer who is drilling for low-grade copper ores compares his drill records and thus learns the outlines of the ore body. Such comparison of the beds at one place and another shows how certain beds change in character lndi thickness from place to place or even thin out and disappear. It enables the gcologist to draw some conclu- sions as to the former distribution of land and sea, to distinguish the de- posits laid down in deep water iron. those spread by rivers over their flood plains, and to reconstruct in im agination the course of events at T time long before the beginning or the Grand Canyon. Such a comparison has recently been made for Arizona and is published by the United States geological survey, department of the as personal paper 9S-K, by F. L. Ransome, geologist. The report is obtainable on request from the Gi- rector.

this claim Is made comes from first hand information-the men them selves
 Payson is developing rapidly Andy Hammons, formerly of Globe, and postmaster of one of the recent leg islatures, has cast his lot there and gone into banking, and L. F. Board man, pioneer who once thought San Diego was some city, has returned to Payson to help build it upon the lines of his favorite California town. The pioneers are at work with renewed energy and Payson is looming above the pines.
 It is the center of one of the rich est COW sections in the State, and Tom Campbell met many of his old time friends here who heartily wei comed him.
 George H. Smalley came into his old home county of Gila when he reached Pine, and found that he did not need any introduction to the pco- pie. The most of them had transact ed land business before him when he was land commissioner and clerk of the court at Globe some years ago, and they remember the courtesy and assistance he gave them in pcrfccting their titles to homcstcads in the beau tiful valleys of the northland.
 Doanc Merrill finds people he knows wherever he goes, and Payson did not prove an exception. The party spent several hours here and left during the morning for the Roosc- welt dam and Globe.
 One of the memorable incidents of the journey from Flagstaff through the greatest pine forest in the United States, was the camp supper prepar ed by Tom Campbell. The governor surprised the hungry party at dusk when he had the car stopped and an nounced that he had some fine mutton chops which he would proceed to cook a la cowpunchcr. His compan- ions agreed with enthusiasm that they had never eaten such chops iii their lives, and when they get back home they will never cease to com plain that their chops are not cooked as Tom Campbell did them in the pines of the Mogollons.

HASSAYAMPA co. LANDS BEING EXAMINED, AND NEW INDUSTRY MAY MATERIALIZE.

A trip of inspection was made last week by a party of five principals of a large California dairy and creamery firm to the holdings of the Hassay- ampa Alfalfa Farms Go. Several days were devoted toward ascertain ing land conditions.
 It IS reported that the visitors were favorably impressed with the pro- gross made in land development, but before absolute crop conditions could be made known, in alfalfa growing particularly, they would await results, before giving definite answer to- ward embarking in the movement. So far as preliminary observations were made they expressed themselves as very much pleased over the big land development proving successful, and at a near date all are to return to make final investigations. They are desirous of entering this field be- cause of the proximity of two large markets, Prescott and Jerome The firm has had years of experience and its advent here is dependent on crops reaching a stage warranting the heavy investment.

WOMAN'S PARTY ORGANIZED IN
 PRESCOTT
SUFFRAGIST TELLS WHY SHE OPPOSES WILSON, ASHURST AND HAYDEN FOR REELECTION.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Whatever doubts may have existed
 in the minds of the women voters af
 Prescott regarding the policy of the
 Woman's party were dispellcd last
 night at a meeting in Odd Fellows
 hall when Miss Iris Calderhead, or ganizer for the party in this county.
 spoke for more than an hour on the
 subject of national suffrage. The question of suffrage could never be settled satisfactorily by the States separately, said Miss Calderhcad. Tc illustrate this she told of how, during the thrcc-generation fight for equal rights, the woiilcn had been granted the privilege of voting in but 12 States. She told of how the suffra- gists campaigned in New York for months, going so far as to employ scores of interpreters to spread the gospel of suffrage in the foreign quar- ters. But in spite of all of these ef- forts, said Miss Calderhcad, the big money interests backing up the anti suffragists had defeated the equal rights measure when it came before the people.
 In answer to the charges that the Woman's party was organized to sup port Hughes, Miss Calderhead said that the record of the Democratic party on suffrage made it impossible for the women to support Wilson. She declared that never before have the people of the United States had the political power that they now pos sess and she urged the women to use that power in supporting the party that supported suffrage. The stories of the scores of dcputations of wom- en who have visited Washington in the interests of the Susan B. Anthony and of the cool reception rendered them by the Democratic ad- were retold by the speak CT. She told of how Senator Ashurst had forced a vote on the suffrage when he knew that 1t could not be carried on account oi the absence from Washington of its strongest supporters in the senate.
 If Senator Ashurst had had the in tercstS of the amendment at hear;, said Miss Calderhcad, he would not have rushed the vote, after having publicly stated that it could not pass at that time
 Miss Caldcrhead said that the wom cn of the country would have organ izcd against the last Republican ad to force action on the Federal amendment if they had had the political power then that they have now. She said the Democratic had been given every to pass the amendment and had refused, and she urged tha. | every woman present oppose the cleo | ton of AshurSt, Hayden and Wilson i for their failure, as members of the | Democratic party, to do anything in . favor of the national enfranchisemcrt of women.
 Mrs. F. w. Wells presided at the with Miss Mary Frank Gard ncr acting as secretary. In introduc- ing Miss Caldcrhead, Mrs. Wells urged the women to stand together on the suffrage issue.
 The following women were elected ,hairmcn of the precincts of this city
 10 work in the interests Of suffrage: Mrs. Lincoln II. Bcycrlc, southeast; Mrs. Dixon Fagcrberg, northeast; Mrs. Walter l. Hill, southwest and Mrs. R. E. Chambers, northwest pre- ,inct.

CATTLE MARKET
Correspondence.

 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Sept. 4-Unscttled conditions made slumpy cattle market after Satur- day last week. Statesmen who had no cattle after Wednesday called the market today steady to lower, while those who had cattle here Thursday and Friday called today's market strong to l5 higher, more in some cases. Receipts were 6,500 head, one fourth normal September Monday supply, and onc-haif as many as were expected, but liberal supply is look ed for later in the week. Stockers and feeders sold to g higher.
 Beef Cattle.
 Nobody riskcd any prime cattle for today's market although as things arc now shaped the Sll quotation is ef- fcctivc on the right kind. Grass steers got feeder competition up to I.50 to- day, and middle class grasscrs sold al %.l5 to l.65. Good wintcrcd steers experienced some slowncss, and dis agreement as to values promised to carry some cattle over. Sales in this class were made at SS to SS75. South ern Kansas and Oklahoma steers sold at $625 to SIPS, and II loads of Utah steers weighing 995 pounds sold to killers at S7. Order buyers were un- hampcrcd today, and took a good many cattle. Cows sold up to T. good Idaho COWS at S6.40, medium grass COWS at S5.50 to SC
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Not many outside buyers were here, but yard traders were active and paid higher prices, taking grass steers in competition with killers up to I.50 The range supply was very light, but good to choice ycarlings would have found quick sale at 5 higher prices, plain cattle steady to strong. Best yearlings are worth mp to SS.25, bulk of the stock steers S6.25 to $7, fccd- CTS S675 to S7.75, with occasional de- mand for tlcshy steers up to $S.25.
 Hogs.
 Prices were uncvcnly higher, some hogs held from Saturday bringing an advance of 5 cents. Most of the sales were 15 to g higher, with top Of Sl0S0, receipts less than 1000 head. Order buyers led, paying the top price for middle weight hogs, and Sl075 for lights, but packers stopped at S1070. The small supply, of course limited quality, as well as prevented the demand from extending itself. The situation Is very strong, as stocks of product show a sensational de- crease for August and supplies of live hogs arc running lighter than in re- cent weeks.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 Four thousand was the supply to- day. and prices were E to 5 higher. top lambs Sl050, best natives $10, fat ewes S7. Supply from the range coun- try will be light this Fall, and mar kcts will be uneven, the advantage generally with the seller X fair num- Der of Utah lambs will be offered this week, and there will be a chance at good variety of feeding stock, feeding lambs now selling al $965 to SlO.l0, and breeding ewes shade lower than heretofore, at % to So.

Old Susan was greatly troubled. Miss

comfort and consolation, Susan had
taken herself to prayer meeting. Dur.
Ing the entire service the old woman 8
thoughts and prayers were for the sick
mistress.
In an endeavor to put life and spirit
into the meeting, the preacher called
upon first one and then another of his
congregation to testify or to pray
aloud. For the first time In Susan's
life, she heard her own name called to
speak In meetin'." Embarrassed, she
tried to hide from the preachers sight,
but as she lodged back and forth be-
hind pair of huge, broad shoulders,
the man Of God likewise lodged, call
ing out, "Ah see yer, Sister Susan.
Yer can't hide FUN me. Testify sis.

Thus cornered, Susan rose slowly to
her feet. In her minds eye, she still
saw the suffering mistress of her af
fections.
"Oh, LODI" she prayed from the
depths of her faithful heart. "Bless
Miss Mays big toe. and make 1t well.
And all the people said, Amen"

Bio Field of Sweet Peas.


The largest single field of sweet
peas in the world Is to be found In
southern California, near Redondo,
London Tit-Bits states. II comprises
$50 acres, in which are grown sweet
peas of nearly every known variety
and color. 1t constitutes a truly in
teresting sight, and the fragrance
from the flowers loads the air so
heavily as to be almost unbearable.
Another single field of carnations, 20
acres in area, located near by, yearly
affords similar marvellous sight.
Besides these immense fields OF
sweet peas and carnations there are
many smaller areas in California de-
voted, respectively, to the growing FOR
market of chrysanthemums, violets,
daisies, asters, dahlias, all kinds or
lilies, roses and so forth. They are
cultivated in much the same way as
vegetables, requiring on an average
about the same care. Many of the
flowers are sold through the flower
shops of the cities, but the chief in
come to the growers comes from the
sale of seeds. The annual shipments
of flower seeds from California
amount to many tons.
