years, will serve the people of Jerome as we'll as the mine. It will carry freight hitherto brought in by narrow gauge from Jerome Junction.
 Down in the valley at Clarkdale there has been much in the making. The United Verde shelter has been more than doubled in capacity, though the improvements are not yet com- plete. It is not that production is wanted just now, at the present stage of the metal market. But former Senator w. A. Clark, main owner of the property, has long vision and will be ready for the great copper demand that will be known when foreign ex- change is able to finance European metal needs. There have been added six reverberatory furnaces of larger type than the six now in use. Twelve new roasters are of greater capacity than those now operated. A couple of new Great Falls converter stands and eight new Sterling boilers and a vari- ety of other additions, inclusive of power house of doubled capacity might be noted.
 There are two very especial features however. The first is resort to the use of powdered coal as fuel for the reverberatories, succeeding fuel oil, which of late has proved very expen- sive. The Gallup semi-bituminous is stored under water till needed, for it is susceptible to spontaneous combus- tion. Before used it is crushed, dried and then pulverized until it can be sifted through 100-mesh screen. Then it is ready to be taken up by a fierce air blast and blown into the 100-foot reverberatories.
 Then there is smoke treating plant, wherein currents of 125,000 voltage play through the flues from the furnaces, catching and depositing all metallic particles, to the greater profit of the works, and incidentally stopping deposits of soot and sulphur upon the farms of complaining ranch CTS in the nearby agricultural vicin- ity. It will cost $750,000 to stop the smoke, but it is believed the result will show that it pays.

RAISERS OF STOCK SAY
 FOREST SERVICE RULES
 RUNNING THEIR BUSINESS

It has been ascertained that cattle valued at $250, 1000 will be shipped out of Santa Cruz county before the first of the coming year; that some of the finest stock ranges in the county will be devastated and that one of the county's prime industries will be ruin- ed beyond repair by the alleged dras- tic rules of the officers of the United States forest service.
 From number of prominent cattle men, information has been obtained that the rules and regulations, and the fees imposed by the officers in charge of forest reservations, for the grazing of cattle are unreasonable, and exorbitant and that the forest rangers and those in charge of the reserve have forced them out of busi- ness.
 The cattlemen of this vicinity have endeavored to obtain relief from what they allege are unjust rulings on the part of forest reserve officers, but state that they have failed. It is the intention of the cattlemen to endeav- or to have legislation passed which will take the lands now in the hands of the forest service out of that or ganization, and into the public do- main.
 If the cattle raisers of the county continue to sell their stock, the taxes of the county will fall on the mer- chants of the various communities and condition will arise here which threatens to be serious.
 Following are some of the cattle shipments made from Santa Cruz county within the past few weeks to buyers at Fl Paso, Kansas City and other points, the shippers having made statements that the forest re- serve rules forced them out of busi- ness: Gatlin Bros. of Patagonia, g. 900 head; Jos. Kisgorsgi, Calabasas, 1,500 head; Clyde McPherson, San Ra- fael valley, 1000 head, and Roy Sor- rells, of Patagonia, 1000 head.

PINK CRABTREE DIES
 SUDDENLY IN OKLAHOMA

The people of Wilburton were grief stricken Sunday morning when the news was broken that Pink Crabtree had died at his home on West Main street. He was about town as usual on Saturday and in the barber shop Saturday night. Soon after midnight he was taken suddenly and seriously ill and medical assistance was called but his condition gradually grew worse and at seven a. m., little hope was held out for his recovery. He succumbed at ten o'clock a. m.
 Funeral services were conducted at the home at three p. m. Monday, in the presence of hundreds of friends. Rev. w. T. Logan, of Mister, and pas tor of the Wilburton Presbyterian church, officiated. Interment was made at the City cemetery.
 Pink Crabtree was fifty-four years of age. He spent the greater part of his life in and near Wilburton. For the past nine years he was engaged in the grocery business in Wilburton and he prospered in his undertakings. He had no enemies, unless it was him. self. He had big heart, was enter prising and enjoyed the high regard and respect of his many business and social acquaintances. He is survived by his wife and two children, Miss Ala and Master Blake, and a step daughter, Mrs. Dewitt Poe.--Wilbur- ton Democrat.
 Pink Crabtree was we'll known by many of the old timers in Flagstaff, who will be grieved to learn of his sudden death. Mr. Crabtree left Flag staff about II years ago, after seven years residence here, during which time he did logging and other heavy team work by contract.
 In letter recently Mrs. Crabtree had informed Mrs. Peter Michelbach that they had sold out in Oklahoma and intended returning to Flagstaff to make their home.

LIVESTOCK AND RANGE
 CONDITIONS IN ARIZONA

The weekly report of the weather bureau states that winter ranges are practically free from snow and an abundance of we'll cured grass is now available for stock. Owing to copious rains in the summer the fall browse made an exceptionally fine growth and now affords excellent feed. At Pinedale, southern Navajo county, where last season conditions were of the poorest description, the corre- spondent says: "Water and grass are plentiful, cattle excellent" In west em Coconino and northern Mohave counties where autumn rainfall was only moderate in amount, the condi- tion of stock is reported as only fair. Winter annuals are making excellent growth on the desert.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS December 22, 1919. Light receipts following last weeks decline, offset the holiday dullness that was expected in today's market, and prices were strong to higher in all divisions. Kill ing cattle were 20 to 50 cents higher, stockers and feeders strong, hogs up 10 to 15 cents, top $f4.15, and sheep and lambs strong, top lambs $l6.25.
 TOday's Receipts
 Receipts today were 10000 cattle, 14,OOO hogs, and 1000 sheep, compared with 2l 1000 cattle, 12,00O hogs, and 1000 sheep a week ago, and 15,O00 cat tie, 10000 hogs, and 250O sheep year ago. Practically no long hauling cat tie were here and only few Western fed sheep and lambs.
 Beef Cattle soc Higher
 With only 10000 cattle received to- day, and offerings expected to be light the rest of this week, killing cattle, both butcher grades and fat steers, were in active demand at quarter to fifty cents higher prices. Good to choice short fed steers at $14.00 to $15.50 were the best offerings. Prac- tically all the full fed cattle have been marketed in time for the holiday trade. Fair to good steers brought $l1.5O to $13.75, and plain kinds as low as $10. Cows sold at $5.50 up, with most or the good weight fat cows $S.25 to $9.25. Veal calves brought $8.50 to $16.00.
 Stockers and Feeders Stronger
 Prices for thin cattle were stronger than late last week, but trade was generally quiet as few outside buyers ; were here and only few orders were filled. Indications are that improved demand will prevail next week and during January.
 Hogs 25c Higher
 Though Chicago quoted hog prices 25c lower, the market here was 10 to 15 cents higher than Saturday, and higher than at any time last week. Re ceipts were 200O larger than a week ago. The top price was $14.l5, and bulk of sales $l3.60 to $14.1O. Local prices continue above Chicago and up river markets. Receipts at no time in the past two months have been large enough to meet the urgent or- ders of packers and they have been unable to keep local prices down to Chicago's level.
 Sheep and Lambs Active Trade in the sheep division was active at strong prices. The bulk of the fat lambs, which were natives, sold at $16.00 to $16.25, and a bunch of Western fed lambs brought $16.z5. Ewes sold up to $10.25, and yearlings $13.25. Practically no feeders were offered.
 Horses and Mules
 ! Late last week trade in horses and mules was fairly active, and this week is starting with moderate supplies and unchanged prices. No material im- provement is expected until after the first of the year.

16,000 Arizona Brands Gone Out of Existence.

Closing Saturday of the period for accepting brand registrations found 5000 livestock brands re-registered in the office of Edward w. Stephens, sec retary of the state livestock sanitary board. A complete registration had been effected. Twenty-one thousand brands were on the old books. Only 5000 are now recognized as being "alive."
 It had been realized that thousands of brands had lapsed through death of owners or their departure from the state. Registration period really clos ed last night, but Secretary Stephens had sent out word he would consider applications placed in the mails by midnight last Friday night.

HOW THE KING AND QUEEN WERE RECEIVED IN FLAGSTAFF
{ Continued from Page 1

medals around with him. One of the officers of his entourage is forever one foot behind him to the right, with his pockets full of every sort of decora- tion that Belgium turns out.
 When a man is presented who has done something for the king and queen on their tour--driven an engine or fried fish or presided over ban quet-the king jerks cabalistic word over his shoulder to the faithful at tendant. Back goes the right hand of the king, the decoration called fol is dropped in it, the right hand swings back, up, and down, the decoration is pinned on, and another democrat iS happy. It is all done in four motions the observer said. Hundreds of these decorations have been presented.
 At San Francisco preparations were made to honor the royal guests with great banquet. Some persons who had had experience with monarchs where they Hive and move and have their being," were entrusted with making all the arrangements for the affair. And what happened is thus re. ported:
 "All the guests must face the king and queen at the banquet" said the rule-makers. "No one may touch any course until the queen does. If she declines course all must pass"
 There were other, rules, but these are enough. All went merry as a wedding-bell until it was discovered that if every banqueter must face the queen there wasn't a dining-room in the city big enough to seat more than three hundred. And if no one might take course the queen declined there were fears that the guests would bring pockets full of popcorn, for by this time the queen was eating only crackers and milk.
 "So the social arbiters quit" said the observer, land the bars were thrown down and any sort of hit went for three bases. About 2,OOO people were present and every one had a grand, uproarious jubilee."- Literary Digest.
 Anyhow, Mir. Corey wrote a very interesting story, if true.
 Having lived around with the
 
 whole deck so long, we have often seen a ten-spot take king, conse- quently the mere fact that the king and queen with lesser suit were play ed as trumps at the Grand Canyon, some 75 miles away from Flagstaff goes to show that the Grand Canyon is merely suburb, and that Mir. Cor ey failed to "cut" before he "dealt' out his story.
 As for Jimmy Swinnerton, he is that sort of an ace in the deck, who would have pulled just the sort of a Stacked deck" as proclaimed for him, had the occasion demanded it. Any old Indian in this country-even though he had "housemaid-lmee," would kick in and help Jimmy, for they all have an idea it,is for some good purpose.
 All we now ask of Jimmy is to move the Ell Tovar hotel to a nice site in Flagstaff and have the king "blaza- ing" as it were from the fernando of the hotel to his crip Indians.

ROAD OPEN NOW
ON SEWARD END;
MEARS IS BUSY

That portion of the Government
railroad, between Seward and An
chorage, which caused so much trou-
BILE last winter has been put in such
condition as to warrant the belief
that railroad communication be-
tween the two coast towns will not
be interrupted this winter, according
to Senator Dan Sutherland, oldtimer
of the Ruby district, who arrived
over the Broad Pass trail on Sat
urday. The senator made the trip
by rail from Seward to the end of
steel north of Talkeetna. Some
Work was still in progress on show
sheds and bridges between Seward
and Anchorage, but the line is open
to traffic and it is believed on the
coast that the road can be kept open
throughout the remainder of the
winter.
Some work, the senator says, also
is in progress near the end of steel,
north of Talkeetna, where a steam
shovel is engaged in moving gravel
from a side cut. The cut is long
one, but the gravel appears to be
movin easily and there is ample
dumping room on the lower side of
the track. The end of steel is about
nine miles north of Talkeetna, with
the grade completed beyond the cut
for a distance of approximately
thirty miles. And when the steam
shovel operations have been COM
pleted at that point. it will be pos
sible to extend the track without
more delay, all the way to Indian
river.
Senator Sutherland says that Col
onel Mears is a busy man. He Is
here, there and everywhere, always
on the job and apparently eager to
speed the completion of the road.
William Gerig, assistant chief engi-
neer, - is also a busy man and 5
very popular among the people OF
Anchorage and the men along the
line. He is not a young man, but
he is very active and appears TO
understand his business.
J Asked regarding the recent labor
trouble at Juneau, the senator said
that the strike had not amounted TO
much and that things were moving
along again about as usual when he
left He had heard some talk of
Bolshevism on the coast of Alaska,

PRED when the last session ended.
Since leaving the Ruby district
several years ago, the senator has
been engaged much of the time in
fishing along the coast. He is now
enroute back to his old stamping
ground and may re-engage in min
ing.
Regarding politics on the coast,
Senator Sutherland says that the
chief interest at present centers ir
the contest for membership on the
Republican national committee,
Charles E. Heron and Milo Kelly
both being engaged in an active
campaign for the place j. r. Heck
man, who has been endorsed by the
Republicans of Cordova and Ketchi-
kan, is not a candidate, Sutherland
says, and he is not sure that Heck
man will accept the job if an at
tempt is made to force it upon him.
/ George Hazlett, of Cordova. is
out for delegate to the national
convention, to be held at Chicago,
commencing June 8.
Senator Sutherland firmly believes
the Republicans will sweep the coun-
try next November He blames the
j Democrats for the failure of Con-
gress to ratify the peace treaty,
declaring that they refused to accept
any of the reservations proposed,
when they knew the country de-
manded certain of the changes pro
posed by the Republicans.
The senator says that Wickersham
will not be a candidate for dele
gate from Alaska, no matter what
may be the outcome of the pending
contest
