Washington, Sept. 3. - President
Wilson, by proclamation just issued,
set 1920 a bushel as the minimum
price guaranteed by the government
for the 1919 wheat crop. .....,-
A disinterested commission, the

,.ss Sees Peace In 1920. =. PIX
Z Possibility Of peace before the mid
die Of 1920 was indicated in mem
orandum written by the President and
accompanying the proclamation, as
factor in determination of the Presi-
dent to maintain the present price for
the 1919 crop. ,a.. 's
In giving q guaranteed price for
wheat one year in advance (the only
industry guaranteed by the govern;
ment) there is involved considerable
national risk" the President said. Z
81. Government Runs Risk. - s'.s
If there should be peace or In.
creased shipping available before the
middle of 1920, Europe will naturally
supply itself from the large stores
OF much cheaper wheat now in the
southern hemisphere; and, therefore,
the government is undertaking risk
which might in such an event result
in a national loss of as much as $780,.
100000 through an unstable surplus;
or in any event, in maintaining a
high level Of price to our own people
for long period subsequent to free
dom in the worlds markets."

HIGH CLASS FURS.

J. H. Drew is in possession of a set of four fox skins which are at tracting much favorable comment from thost who have seen them. The furs were received during the week from Denver taxadermist made from the gray fox of this county, which are pronounced of exceptional beauty and of great value.
 The skill and care used in treatment is strikingly in evidenced. The four furs are owned by a well known local mining man who at present is in the East, and after his return to Prescott in short time, they are to be pre- sented to his wife. The outlay in preparing them was about $35, but each pelt is valued at twice that sum. Mir. Drew is the custodian of the county in caring for bounty belts and these beautiful skins were selected from the stock, for which the owner was paid only 75 cents apiece. They will be on exhibition for few days only.-Prescott Journal-Miner.

REVOKE ORDERS FOR
 REGARRISONING WHIPPLE

Official advices were received Mon day afternoon by Captain H. Han nah, U. s. army, from the secretary of war at Washington, revoking or ders for the re-garrisoning of Fort Whipple, issued over two weeks ago.
 Last Saturday it was stated that such action was contemplated, this news emanating from military cen ters in Texas, but the official orders received yesterday admit of no doubt as to what disposition has been de- finitely and finally decided upon.
 Captain Hannah on arriving at Whipple to begin rehabilitating, was in charge as quartermaster, and had proceeded to such an extent that he was practically ready for garrisoning the post, when the unexpected arose much to his surprise. All government property was being placed in fine condition, and it was believed that the first detail of troops would be in their barracks later this week. Milf tary supplies were being received, but which under orders received yester- day from the war department are to be transferred at once to Fort Hua. chuca, on the Mexican border neal Nogales.
 It is stated that the sudden change in this action to rehabilitate Whipple arises over a new order of the wal department in abandoning early plani for enlisting a home guard defense of 25,000 men, and curtailing thi' force to only 1,S00 for the specia duty.
 It is intimated in military circle! that Whipple will, in the very neal future, be occupied by the war de partment, but for what purposes ii not known.
 Hundreds of letters had been re ceived in this city from officers, who were conversant with Whipple's adap tability for military uses, commend ing the action taken to restore it, anc in some instances officers were very anxious to receive stations here Prescott Journal-Miner.

MAN DIES FROM
 PECULIAR ACCIDENT

N. w. Clark, engineer at the Octave mine at Octave, was killed on We'd nesday, when some parts of a swiftly moving gasoline engine flew off and struck him with terrific force.
 Clark had just finished the work of erecting the new engine, and was giv- ing it the first try-out when the acci- dent happened. From some unknown cause, one of the metallic parts came loose and was hurled at the engineer, ore of the pieces hitting him on the knee. In coming off the piece of iron struck large oil cup, the cup striking Clark just above the eyes and pro- ducing a fearful wound which caused his death five hours later. He did not regain consciousness after being hurt. The oil cup was later found in Clark's shirt.
