CITY POLITICS BOILING
J. 3. Lyon, Chairman Of Citizens cau-
Gus, Calls Meeting for Friday Eve
ninq-Many Candidates in Field

City politics is boiling. With the
city election to be held on Monday,
March 25th, voters are casting about
for candidates for the various offices
and from all reports there is not a
dirth of material. Several have al
ready cast their hats into the ring for
mayor and there promises to be a live.
ly contest at the citizens caucus to be
held on Friday evening of this week
at the gymnasium.
The citizens caucus has been called
by j. 3. Lyon, chairman, and Roy f.
Mote, secretary. 1t is being whispered
about that j. 3. Lyon, one of the ex-
ponents of the citizens caucus idea in
Denison, would be willing to head the
citizens ticket il the nomination is
forced upon him. Mr.. Lyon, however,
has not announced his candidacy. w.
H. Laub, the present mayor, is can.
didate for the Office and has large
following and will probably be one of
the strongest candidates at the eau.
Gus. w. c. Rollins and J. H. Hayes
have both been mentioned for the Of
flee of mayor.
1t may develop that some dark horse
will walk away with the nomination
for mayor at the Friday evening eau.
Gus
A number of names have been men,
toned for councilmen. 1t is generally
understood that none of the present
councilmen are asking to be retained
in office. Ben Pautsch. however. is
being mentioned and it is possible he
will be nominated.
The ticket will be threshed out Fri
day evening and we predict it will be
the largest attended caucus ever held
in Denison. Every voter should be on
hand.

Packers disregarded the fact that comparatively few fat cattle were in the run and continued to depress prices, market weak to 10 lower, re- ceipts 12,000 head, top $17.25. Hog prices opened lower, but finished 15 to 25 lower, top $17.10, receipts 12,00O head. Sheep and lambs sold 25 to 35 higher, top lambs s2O.25, receipts T. 500.
 Beef Cattle Weak to Lower
 The supply of native fed steers was light, and the best of these sold around $16.50. Various lots of pulp fed steers sold at $16.50 to 17.25. Seven cars of Gebhart steers brought the top in the pulp fed class, $17.25, as compared with $17.55 for some of them week ago. Ten cars of south Texas cake fed steers weighing 937 pounds brought $1250. These cattle stopped in Fort Worth and the bid on them there was $11. Arizona can- ners brought 7.90 to $S.25. Some low grade Arizona stockers, $8.50 and some light Arizona fed steers, $50 pounds, brought $12.50. Cows sold weak to 10 lower, at $S.50 to $14.00.
 Stockers and Feeders Make Record
 Stockers offered, included 115 Pan- handle steers weighing 397 lbs., at $13.25, and POS Panhandle stock heif- CTS weighing 389 lbs, at S12.25. These were from the dry district in Texas, south of Amarillo, and there will be some big shipments from that section here later this week. Common Ari- zona stockers sold at $8.50. Feeding steers reached $16 last week, the highest price on record here.
 Usual June Break in Hogs
 Order buyers and speculators paid $17.10 for light hogs and s17.05 for both medium and heavy hogs. These were 5 to 10 lower, but packers stood out for 15 to 25 lower prices and bought most of their hogs that way stopping at $17. Bulk of all sales ranged from $16.80 to $1705. The usual June break is being enforced and will probably continue this week if receipts hold up. Pigs sold steady today, but considerably lower than last week. Good native stock pigs, SIT to $17.25.

H. SCORES OF HOLBROOK BUYS $10O, 900 RANCH NEAR FLORENCE

The biggest land sale yet made in Pinal county was that consummated when Chas. Stewart sold his 800-acre alfalfa ranch seven miles west of Florence to Harry Scores of Holbrook for the sum of $1OO,000 cash. Mir. Scores had the matter under consid- eration for some time and last week drove over to see the ranch, and without mincing words took the place at Mir. Stewards figure. Fifteen thousand dollars cash was paid then and there to bind the bargain and the balance is to be paid over on October 1st, when MT. Stewart will deliver the property to the new owner.
 This ranch, one of the best in Ari- zona, was originally owned by Joseph Spinas, now deceased. A few years ago MT. Spinas sold the property to MT. Stewart at figure said to have been $16.000. A few years later T. A. Nicholas purchased the ranch from MT. Stewart, paying S25,000. About a year ago Mir. Stewart bought it back, paying S65.000, and now he sells it again, realizing S100,000 cash. The greater portion of the ranch is seeded to alfalfa.-Florence Tribune.

Rossville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, oi his place, writes: My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he in- lnred himself with piece of heavy ma- rhinery, across the abdomen. He was 70 sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine, his bowels failed to act.

 DISPOSES OF HIS RANCH

J. E. Edens, pioneer citizen oi Camp Verde, spent last night ir Clarkdale. Mir. Edens, who for years has been one of Verde valleys mos, successful ranchers, has recently sold his ranch near Camp Verde, and hay. ing cleaned up a sufficiency to enable him to retire from active business, is now on his way back to his childhood home in Tennessee, which he has not visited for more than thirty years and where he will spend the summer and visit indefinitely. He states that he has made no plans for the future but will in all probability return to Arizona after his visit is over.-Je- rome News.

DAM TT, YES-THE COLORADO

A measure is now pending before congress in which it is proposed to dam the Colorado river. Everybody in this locality is heartily in favor of such a project and the whole cry is "Dam the Colorado" Just the other day, for example, w. L. Mckay, after spending whole day fishing in the Colorado with the result that he had only eight little frog-faced catfish to show for the time spent, replied when asked what luck he had, Dam the Colorado" while Capt. Joe Bush, the ferryman in charge of the Nellie T." will admit that he has exclaimed, "Dam the Colorado" often enough during the past year, in lodging it's many sandbars, to cause the stream
The Coconino sun., 1918-05-31

to be eternally damned; and if a cer- tain gospel sharp from Phoenix who failed in his attempt to make his auto- mobile swim across the river recently didn't say "Dam the Colorado" when he found himself neck deep in it's muddy waters, then we'll be damned!
 But while those words, "Dam the Colorado" may be heard on every side, from proletariat to pulpiteer, the idea should not be formed that we have be- come cranky over the dam project, or that we are dam silly, for the incal- culable benefit to be derived through the generation of electrical energy and the development of irrigation by such a system is understood, it will readily be seen that we are not after all such a lot of dam cranks.-Parker Post.

A HORSE BOOM COMING

At Peterborough, England, 153 mares and Allies sold for an average of $1,025. Nearly all of these mares were old or very young. Practically none of them were of the better class Only a few of the best Shire mares have been ordered for sale lately; these have brought extremely high prices. It is very common to sell a good Shire yearling stallion for S2,- 500. These prices are being estab- lished by residents of England. The Live Stock World, when commenting on these prices, stated that there was a world shortage of horses and ad- vised their readers to keep all the Shire mares possible.
 A few more Percherons have been imported from France to England The French government permits only few Percherons to leave France. The Frenchmen realize the shortage of horses in their country. A short time ago the Belgium government had two representative in this country visiting the different Belgian studs in view of purchasing some of our best Belgians to use in their breeding operations after the war. These gentlemen realize that this blood is very scarce. Only comparatively small number of Belgian horses can be found anywhere except in the United States. The Germans have taken many horses from Russia. The war situation is destroying many horses. The reason more horses for the army have not been purchased in this country is the shortage of ships.

Alarming Coincidence

Two ladies wer emarried to musi- clans. The one, bride of year, was pushing baby carriage in which were three fine babies-triplets, all girls. The other lady had been in the bonds of matrimony a couple of weeks.
 "What beautiful children!' ex- claimed the newly-married one.
 "Yes," replied the proud mother, "let me tell you the funniest coinci- dence. At our wedding supper the boys who played with my husband in the orchestra serenaded him and they played Three Little Maids,' from The Mikado.' Isn't that queer?"
 At this the other bride turned pale.
 Mercy" she gasped. At our we'd ding supper Toms friends serenaded him also, and they rendered The Sex tet' from Lucia"

PROTEST AGAINST NEW ORDER

Milk condensers of the Salt rive, valley are protesting against the new order prohibiting the shipment of milk in carload lots of less than 40,- 900 pounds. As the Arizona con- densers sell their product almost en- tirely within the state, and few com munities want 10000 pounds of milk at one time, they say that the order will be disastrous to them if carried into effect.

UNFAVORABLE BUILDING
OPERATIONS LAST MONTH

With the vast government conStruc-
ton activities omitted from the tabu-
lation of building permits issued in the
principal cities of the country and with
present work running strongly toward
war necessities, the showing made by
the cities becomes necessarily unfa-
vorable.
The statistics of building permits is
sued now present only a partial view
of the current work, whereas a year
ago they represented an overw helming
percentage of it. And the volume of gov
eminent work is still increasing. Ordinary
building operations - that is. private
building-have shrunk to less than
half the normal amount, when the in
creased cost of construction is taken
into consideration. In estimated cost it
is something more than 80 per cent.
1t is quite evident that the current
amount of normal construction is con-
siderably less than the actual require
ments. Households are doubling up
taIl over the land: business structures
are not kept strictly up in repairs. The
construction of needed buildings of all
kinds is being deferred to more pro-
pitious times. But the crowding of
necessary work makes a very fair
showing, all things considered.
In 40 principal cities Of the United
States the building permits issued in
February, as officially reported to the
American Contractor. New York. total
29.074,332, as against $50. 139,254 for
February last year, Il decrease Of A
per cent OF these Cities thirty-two
show an increase over the correspond
ing Ileriod a year ago.
The large cities generally show Il de-
cded falling off in construction work.
The building permits issued in this
city last month were PIG at an eSti-
mated cost of s731.450. while the per-
mits issued in February, 1917, were 26f
at an estimated cost of s1.221,s2 5, which
is loss of 40 per cent.
