WOOL PRICE RAISED
 BY SHEARING SHEDS
From Sunday. Daily MinsrI

LErOm Oally AAlneEN
 Information has been received by the livestock specialist of the agricul tural extension department of the uni versity that the remainder of the classed wool in Wyoming, Montana and other western states was sold on November A for Al cents per pound in the grease. W. T. Ritch, Austral- ian wool specialist, who made a tour of Arizona in October featuring to the sheepmen on the improvement of the wool clip and the model shearing sheds, claims that the majorityof Ari- zona wool is superior to the wool which has just been sold.
 He examined the wool of James Scott of Pinedale, Ariz., and he has just informed us that Mir. Scott's wool is worth cents per pound more than the, wool just sold. Such statements coming from a wool expert of MT. Ritch's standing certainly speaks well for Arizona wool. Arizona sheepmen cannot afford to continue to be with out sAearing sheds in which the wool can be classed, which should put them in a position to secure from 15 to 20 cents more a pound for their wool Figuring on this basis the loss last year was something over $100,000, which would be more than enough to erect a model shearing shed in every district of the state.

MORE BALLOT INSPECTORS
 PUT ID WORK

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 26.-A third board of inspectors was added today by Judge Stanford of the superior court to expedite inspection of ballots in the contest of Governor Hunt against Thomas E. Campbell, and will begin work tomorrow. The court also, in view of the mounting expense of the inspection, today increased the amount of the bond of the governor from s2OOO to s6OOO. It had been raised to the former figure from an original bond of $500.
 The first board of inspectors is still at work on the ballots of Maricopa county and will not finish before Thursday. The second board is in specting the Graham county ballots. No changes of importance were made today; that is, no changes that will greatly affect the final result though the usual large number of disputed ballots were laid aside to be passed upon by the court when the real con- test begins.

WILD WEST SHOW Is
 STAGED AT BLACKBERRY
CFrom Wednesdays Daily Miner)

Nfrom Wednesday'S Daily M1ner.l
 Notwithstanding the most terrific windstorm ever experienced in Mohave County, several parties of Kingman people motored Sunday to Blackberry and took in the Frontier festivities. An elegant turkey dinner was spread in the Creole pool parlor, which had been. commandeered for the occasion, and all who partook of it were loud in their praise of the cooks.
 After the feast the committee in charge started off the sports, which included broncho riding, bull jogging and the other cowboy stunts. 'Red" Lynch gave an excellent exhibition of trick riding. Charley Walter was one of the most fortunate of the bull dog gers throwing his steer in a very stort time.
 The committee in charge is deserv- ing of praise as no one but an Ariz- oman would have had the courage to try to accomplish anything in the face of weather that prevailed. Tap Dun can tried his hardest to please the crowd as did all of his able assist ants, Mert Wagner, Jack Lawson and John Creole.

The ballots, it is said, will show that Gov ernor Hunt was deprived of about IS votes in the returns made by the var ious election boards of the county, while MT. Campbell was given a num- Der of votes that it is probable the court will refuse to count for him.

Mothers in an increasing number are realizing that a woman's duty to her children is really to them, and not to herself through them. More i'm aginative mothers perceive the life of the child as a thing separate from their own comfort today or tomorrow, and make every sacrifice to grant their boys and girls the powers and the training which will prepare them to live their own lives.

George W. Miller came in from his ranch at Lookout Sunday afternoon, taking the new road through Cotton wood.

After a good road has been once opened it will be kept up at small cost.

THE COST OF LIVING

We do not believe that the high
cost of living is due to the Under
wood Tariff. "A little reflection assur-
es us that the vast majority Of the
commodities which have advanced
most in price of late are those which
do not need protection for the rea-
son that, their manufacturers have
little or no competition abroad.
For example, clothing worn by or
binary people is much cheaper than
it was four years ago, whereas beef
is infinitely more dear. The prices
of milk and bread are now skyrocket-
ing. Think for, yopself and you will
find many similar examples.
The truth is that somewhere dies
q great fault. This is in the manipu--
lation Of foodstuffs and all the other
staples Of life. Wheat today is sell
ing at a very high price-fifty per
cent higher than this time last year.
But great majority of the farmers
who grew it sold their crops for lit
tie more than dollar bushel, and
so it goes all the way down the line
of stuffs produced by the American
farmer.
We 90 not see any farmers or small
'etailers growing inordinately wealthy.
They have to everlastingly hustle to
make both ends meet, as they did
in days of yore; if not more so.
What is the answer?
It is the men who handle the stap-
les of life in huge quantities who are
growing inordinately rich. They can
befeurbed only by the federal gov
eminent. The necessities of life must
be removed from the stock markets.
The government must establish bu-
reaus or centers of distribution in
various sections of the country
Through some such plan alone can
come relief. And the government
should set about doing something Of
this sort promptly. Such regulation
as has hitherto existed has been less
than joke.

GOOD ROADS TO ALEXANDRIA


1t was an ancient saying that al
roads lead to Rome, and a number oil
good roads now lead to Alexandria
while others are in process of con-
struction. Our port can be reached
by ships from any part of the world,
and number of roads stretch out
fan-shaped to the south, west, north
west and north and apart from these
the trains of seven railroads pass
through Alexandria daily.
While considerable street improve
ment has, been made during the past
few years, the roads leading to this
city have recently received much at
tention.
1t is no longer necessary for our
rural neighbors to bury their We
hicles to the hubs when coming here.
The road to Hunting creek (Pat,
rick street extended) has been made
into a modern highway, as has also
a large stretch of the West End
Duke street extendeI) road. The
and deep gulleys which a
short time ago existed in this part
of our annexed territory are rapid
ly disappearing, a sewer has been
as far west as the over
head bridge at a point where the
DTovers' Rest conducted by the late
Samuel Cats, formerly stood, Il
large stretch of the road has been sub
stantially improved and The highway
running east into the city proper is
being constructed after tire order of
the Russell Road in Rosemont.
The cid Leesburg Turnpike (Snoot-
..l's Hill: or King street extended) is
similar Treatment. A large
stretch CT this highway has been i'm.
proved and before the snow begins to
fly it IS expected that the work will
have been extended to Jannel's Lane,
the extreme western limit of larger
Alexandria.
These improved highways bring
people from every section of the
United States to Alexandria, many
tourists passing through the city in
automobiles co Mount Vernon daily.
The Gazette calls attention to the
above facts with much pleasure. May
The good work go on!
