Offer from Lima Church
The local church may feel flattered
over this decision of the pastor as
the Lima charge Is considered an ex-
ceptional opportunity, so much so in
fact that there are 60 applicants for
the pulpit and the salary offered is
$500 higher than that received by Rev
Long in this city Rev Long was not
an applicant for the Lima pastorate
and his receiving the call without
solicitation is n high compliment to
his ability as n minister
When the call was received Rev.
Long conferred with the officials of
the local church and then announced
that he would remain in this city. A
slight advance in salary has been
granted him, but this, it is said, doca

A Wildcat and a Fox.

Two Colorado men were out driving
near Pine creek when they saw red
fox coming down the road at full speed
and about twenty feet in the rear n
wildcat. The men had a view Of the
race for nearly a mile. The pace was
terrific, and neither runner seemed to
gain an inch ON the other for the whole
distance. But the cat evidently had
more endurance and would have over.
taken the fox had it not been for the
men in the buggy. Reynard chose the
lesser of two evils and ran up boldly,
passing the men like an arrow, but
the wildcat stopped at sight Of them
and after seconds hesitation skunk
into the bushes and gave up the chase.

COUNTY SALARY LAW HELD NOT ID APPLY
 IMPROVEMENTS PAY
Judge Lyman Rules That Sal aries of Officers Cannot Be Set During Term of Office.

According to Information from Pres colt, Judge Lyman of superior court division No. of Maricopa county, sit ting in Yavapai county, has rendered decision in the county salary case of the county, holding the salary law passed by the last legislature to be in- applicable to county officers incumb- ent at the time of the enactment O: the law.
 The action was an injunction suit brought by Chairman William Steph- ems of the, board Of supervisors, as a taxpayer to enjoin the board from all lowing salaries under the new classi- fcation law when those salaries diff fered from the salaries received by of- ficials at the time of their election to office. The other member of the board had voted to allow the new salaries. The injunction was asked for on the constitutional ground that the salary of a county official may not be in- creased or diminished during his in- cumbency.
 A demurrer was offered to the bill and the matter was argued some time ago and the case was submitted on briefs. The decision of Judge Lyman overrules the demurrer. IL is under stood that an appeal will be taken di- rectly from this order so that an early decision may be reached by the su- preme court.
 The new classification law was made necessary by a decision of the supreme court last spring holding the old law to be invalid; to be in fact special legislation inasmuch as it was an attempt to evade the constitution by putting each county into a separate class. In the framing of the new classification bill there was a general scramble by county officials from all the counties to secure increases of their salaries and they were more of ten successful than not.
 In some of the counties. boards of supervisors have allowed the increas- ed salaries. Tn this county it has been allowed as 10 all county officials ex- cept superior iudees who receive a part of their salaries from the state which had declined to allow the in creased salaries to state officials.

NEW YORK, July 19. - Scattering liquidation conducted in orderly fash. ion had depressing effect on prices, especially in the industrial quarters.
 The failure of the public and influ- ential buying power to assert itself, even at these levels, seems to be in- dicative Of the apprehension engender- ed by the recent turn of events, for eign and domestic.
 The sharp curtailment in the de mand for steel products and copper metals is due primarily to the fears of drastic price fixing by the Amer ican government and the case of cop per producers, where indications point more strongly to a price fixing much lower than prevailing quotations, the point is argued that if the same be comes a reality, earnings of the var ious copper companies are likely to depreciate considerably. in as much as the dissatisfaction of labor does not seem to permit of a proportionate lowering in operating costs. The greater desire of small copper dealers to dispose of their supplies. is confirm atory of the apprehension in the cop- per circles over the few price pros poets for the red metal We are of the opinion that the quoted priced of the various copper shares are facing a periOd of re-adjustment commensIy rate with a rather unsatisfactory earning outlook that is. compared with

CHICAGO. July 19.-Ahxiety over the near approach of the last delivery day on July contracts and in regard to scarcity of supplies with which ob- legations of sellers could be fulfilled, brought about notable upturns today in prices for wheat, corn and oats. Wheat closed firm at a net advance of to "A cents, corn finished un- changed to 114 higher and oats gained ss to IS. in provisions the outcome varied from unchanged figures to r cents decline.
 Assertions that owing to excessively dry weather North Dakota would not yield more than half a crop this sea- son did a good deal to worry shorts in the wheat market. July options scared 35 cents above Tuesdays close and Is cents up since yesterday.
 Corn prices ran up to new high rec ords both for immediate and future deliveries.
 Unfavorable crop reports from Can ada and North Dakota did much to hoist the value of oats. Fears were expressed too that car shortage would interefere with the movement of the new crop.
 Liquidating sales by holders of lard weakened provisions on the break, however, packers came to the support of the market.
