by the supreme court of the state
on proposed contracts between
the county board of highway

held that such contracts would be
invalid, amounting to agree

This was taken to mean that the

would have to be abandoned.

REPUBLICAN TRICKS
Cochise County Cattleman Re
pudlates Packers Conven-
ton at Phoenix.

Frank P. Moore, of Douglas,
member of the Arizona livestock
association states that the recent
attempt to camouf1age the pack
ers association at a recent meet
ing of the cattlemen called at
Phoenix represented only 35 votes
out of membership of 400 and
he charges that 8 representatives
of the packers were present and
kept up a ceaseless propaganda
among the fifty cattlemen pres
ent. On this subject the STATE
MINER said on Oct. Sd:
Some shrewd Smart Alecks
have called a meeting of Arizona
Cattle Growers association in an
endeavor to scare the stockmen
of the state into action to help
recind their endorsement of the
Kendrick bill to nationalize the
stockyards. Cattlemen see the
master hand of the packers be-
hind this move and ought to
block it instanter. /"
1t was only a word of caution,
but it brought US two new yearly
subs. of local cattlemen who rec
ognized the STATE MINER as the
only paper in the state that dare
inform the public of the insidious
propaganda at work in Arizona,
thru political and financial inter-
ests, to control production and
marketing of the. states vast re-
sources of cattle, sheep, cotton,
minerals, canteloups, etc.
To effectually handle these pro-
ducts of the state, a few Phoenix
newspaper -cattle-cotto mineral
bond selling sharpershave formed
a republican jackpot to not only
get rich quick, but incidentally
corral the state government and
it's machinery for producing rev.
enues in traffic of public finances
and interest thereon.
One of the essentials necessary
in this technical scheme was to
throttle publicity by securing ab-
solute control of the official or
gan of the democrats, a scheme
that worked so very successfully
it has now made that publication
the greatest republican newspa-
per in the state. On this subject,
the editor expects to enligten the
people of Arizona later in the
coming campaign of the network
of technicalities as to how and
why the capitol was forcibly
wrested from the people of Ari-
zona by a political financial COM
bine which has grown so arrogant
that it is pervading almost every
private enterprise in the state.

Squire of Flatbush
Vigorously Denies
Trade With Giants

Unable to entice any of the Western
clubs into holding a swimming con-
test on his Flatbush lot, Charles H.
Ebbets has given up the project in dis
gust and will content himself in future
with straight baseball competition
Yesterday he no sooner discovered the
raindrops descending than he ran up
the white flag, instead Of waiting until
the last minute. His judgment proved
excellent for, as the afternoon grew
on, the dcluge became heavier.
Late in the day the weather man
let up, and even gave Indications that
he might send pleasant weather to-
day. If he does, Brooklyn will make a
final attempt to play couple of games
with the Chicago Cubs before they de-
part for their lair. Mamaux and Ca
dore may receive the pitching sign
ments for the home team, while Alex
ander and Hendrix are Chicago's prob
able selections.
Rumors of a trade between the
Giants and the Dodgers persist in spite
of all denial. The reports undoubtedly
are due to the fact that Manager Nc
Graw has superabundance of catch
ers. One of these catchers figures in
an imaginary trade at least once q
day.

plating any deals or swaps of any kind
as none has been suggested. Manager

What would not lawn tennis follow

Pudgy Willie Meehan May Be
Dempsey's Next Ring Opponent
Promoters Eager to Sign
Up Two-Time Conquer
or of New Champion

Willie Meehan, the circumferential
California heavyweight, may be Jack
Dempsey's next opponent, according to
advices received from San FRANCISCO
last night Meehan, who is the clown
of the heavyweights, holds two deci
sions over the champion, and the cham
pion is still peevish about it. Dempsey
will never laugh whole-heartedly until
he sees Willie busting the resin from
his tights.
Right now two California promoters
are angling for the bout. James Cot
froth, of San Francisco, wants it over
the fourround route IN the city by the
Golden Gate, and Baron Long, of Los
Angeles, wants it over the finish dis
tance at Tia Juana, just across the
Mexican line from California.
In long fight Dempsey should have
no trouble with Mcehan, who is get
ting along in years for fighter. When
] saw him first William was a trim
little bantam weighing something like
1l6 pounds. But he developed fond
ness for the native beer of San Fran
cisco and in few years swelled to the
size Of heavy. Right now he is some
what heavier than Dempsey and his

Schreck, who was constructed on the
lines of barrel.
But for all that Meehan seemed tc
have the Dempsey goat every time he
met the present champion. Meehar
has turtle-like defence and Dempsey
never seemed able 20 penetrate it.
There is one danger that may keey
Dempsey from signing for a four-rounc
bout in San Francisco. II they shoulc

"Sniper's Course''

CALDWELL, N. =, July 22.-Many
innovations are being planned
for the national championship shoot
matches here during August. One
of the feature attractions is the
"sniper's course" illustrating the
method employed in training crack
shots of the service for sniping duty
in Europe. 1t is being directed by
Lieutenant Chase w. Hoadley.
The course will be shot with the
regular service rifle, equipped with
specially constructed telescope
sights. The object is to enable the
firer to accurately gauge unknown
distances, and thus set his sights
for the proper windage and distance
With little or no chance of serious
error. A French village, painted by
Captain C. w. Deming, landscape
artist, will be used as the objective
of all firing. The village will be $50
feet long and contains twenty
