BIRD BUILDS Broom HOUSE
Hammerhead 10 SO Good an Engineer
That tie Nest VIII Bear the
Weight Of q Man,

No slpgle-room apartment salts
fcs the h%ammcrhcad. When he
builds his nest he divides It into
three rooms-a reception hall, a
drawing room and a bedroom. The
entire structure is built of sticks,
dome shape, and sometimes six feet
in diameter. The bird is so good a
carpenter and engineer that the nest
will bear the weight Of a man. In
appearance the bird looks always as
il he needed a haircut. His long
locks, hanging down his neck, have
given him his name, hammerhead
The entrance to his domelike nest
is small and on the concealed side.
The first room is the hall, where the
hammerhead lives when he fears at
tack. Behind this is the drawing
room, the home Of the young birds
when they outgrow the bedroom.
The bedroom is higher than the
rest and safe from floods. Here the
female bird deposits eggs on a nest
Of leaves, and both parents take
turns at keeping them warm.
The hammerhead lives in Africa,
usually builds his nest neal a stream
and eats fish, frogs, lizards and small
snakes.

MINING EXHIBITS WILL BE THE
 BEST EVER
SHIPMENT OF BANNERS ADVERTISING FAIR TO BE D I s T R B U T E D TO OWNERS OF AUTOS.
(From Wednesdays Daily)

One month from today the Fourth Annual Northern Arizona Fair will be opened. The exhibits this year from Apache, Mohave, Coconino, Navajo and Yavapai counties will be far su-
 pcrior to those of previous years. This will be particularly true of the mining section, for the reason that many new properties have been opened up during the past year. This depart ment. under the superintendency of Ben Rybon, will form one of the lead ing exhibits at the fair grounds.
 More than $2,000 in cash prizes will be awarded exhibitors in the mineral, livestock, agricultural, poultry, educa- tional and home economics depart ments, besides beautiful premium rib bons and many special prizes. The judging will be carried out by com- retent experts from the University of Arizona in most of the departments
 The fair is being we'll advertised throughout Northern Arizona, all of the leading newspapers carrying dis play advertisements, as well as special news stories. A shipment of auto banners, calling attention to the fair, was received at the Chamber of Com merce office yesterday and will be dis tributed to all those interested in boosting the fair
 The premium lists will be ready for distribution by Thursday and copies can be secured at the Chamber of Commerce office, or by addressing the secretary direct.
 The Santa Fe has promised one fare rate for the round trip to Pres colt from all points in Northern Ari- 7Ona during the fair. For the Teach- CTS Institute rate of one and one third fare for the round trip will be selling October l6 and 17, with a return limit of October B With these low excursion rates, it is safe to estimate that the largest crowd 10 attend any exposition in Prescott will be that attendant upon the Fourth Annual Northern Arizona Fair.

 Sheep receipts were 17,000 head here, and excessive at other points,
 10000 head at six markets. Prices ruled Is to 25 lower, with exceptions steady on ewes, fat ones selling at S25 and S.35. Colorado alfalfa grazed lambs sold at $l050, and range lambs from Western Colorado and Utah brought $1O25 to S1O.40, Ari- zona lambs to killers S9.75 to S9.85, and to feeder buyers at the same price. Utah feeding lambs sold up to S10.15. Country demand is very heavy, as feeders are being advised that this promises to be good year to feed. in spite of the high prices feeding lambs are costing. Breeding ewes sell readily at stronger prices, g to S9.40, with good young ewes around SS.5O, and feeding ewes sell at s5.25 to S675, about 50 cents higher than a week ago.
 Hog receipts were II 500 head, mar Set steady to strong. Top hogs sold at S1l.15 Saturday, highest price ever paid here, and the same top was reached today, bulk of sales SITS to Sl1.l0. Receipts are running ahead of last year. but the government esti- mate of the stock hogs in the country. showing decrease from last year at his time, is bullish instrument. A pig order buying trade continues, and packers show as much competition as they think safe, and at the same time prevent skyrocket market, for they need hogs. The situation looks very strong.

CONTRASTING METH
 ops ARE DESCRIBED
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

During the trial of Robert Bryant, charged with passing counterfeit money, in the Federal court yesterday afternoon, w. P. Walsh, an expert in vestigator for the treasury depart ment, gave some of the most inter esting testimony ever heard in local court room. Bryant is alleged to have passed counterfeit $l0 gold certif- cate in Chloride, Ariz., on August l6 last The certificate was rather crude counterfeit, tine front and back having been printed on separate pieces of paper and pasted together.
 In examining the certificate Walsh said that in his opinion it had been made from a wood-cut He then tes- tiied, over the objection of Bryant's attorney, as to the different methods employed by counterfeiters in dupli- eating paper money. The paper on which the gold certificates are print ed in the government mints, he said, is manufactured only in one factory, controlled by the government, in Massachusetts. This paper, he testi- fled, cannot be duplicated He said that the first test given a bill believed to be counterfeit was to hold it up before a light and, if the tiny silk fibers were missing from the paper, the bill was illegal.
 Each gold certificate printed by the government, Walsh said, bears num- bers and check marks that make it possible for treasury department off cials to examine it and tell within a few minutes just which printer in the mints printed it. He examined two counterfeit certificates and, within a few seconds, proved by means of cer- tain marks on them which were idcn- tical, that both had been printed from the same cut
 Walsh produced a genuine gold cer- tihcate from his pocket, compared it with the counterfeit bill and told of the ways in which he could tell that the one was worthless. Assistant United States Attorney Langston of fered the genuine bill as evidence As Walsh's Sl0 was passed to the clerk the court allowed its admission, with the privilege of withdrawal" he add cd, and Walsh. who had evidently thought his certificate was conhscated with the other exhibit in the case, smiled broadly
 The case will be continued at 9:30 o'clock this morning, when the de- fcnse will present its side of the case. It is believed the case will go to the jury before noon.
