HOLBROOK STATE BANK CLOSES

Monday of this week the entire
county was shocked to hear that the
Holbrook State Bank had closed it's
doors for liquidation. The bank is
now in the hands of the State Bank
Examiner and at he time of going to
press the. amount of the deficit was
not learned but it is supposed to be
approximately $90,00000. The failure
is attributed to loans made cattle and
sheep outfits who suffered great
losses the past three years. The bank
is backed by strong financial inter-
ests, who it is hoped will make good
all losses to depositors. The closing
of this bank will have no effect on
either of the banks in Winslow as
neither of them had any connections
with the defunct bank, and are both
jim splendid condition as evidenced
from their last published statement
which showed combined cash on hand
of nearly half million dollars

LOCAL LUMBER YARDS ANNOUNCE
REDUCTIONS

Both the Hall Lumber Company and
East Side Yard announce general re-
ductions on practically all items OF
lumber and building material rangins
from 10 per cent to as much as 33 1-3
per cent, such reductions becoming
effective this week. Red cedar shing-
| les, in particular, show a decided dc
cline having been reduced from soto
Sc per square, while a great many
other staple items handled by the To-
cal yards also show substantial reduc
tions. When it is considered that o
reduction of one third is equivalent
to an advance of one half it will be
readily seen that prices have been re-
duced to the extent that prospective
home builders may be very much en-
couraged
In commenting on the subject of de-
cline, Mr.. Hall of the Hall Lumber
Company states that while gradual
slight reduction on most all building
material items may be expected during
| the coming year, no radical declines
can be looked for for many months.
if at ALL He further states that in his
opinion prewar prices on building
material will never prevail. Most GER
tainly not for many years to come The
cost of manufacture has not been re-
duced, while freight rates have recent
| ly been advanced, and the matter OF
freight rates play most impoI tam
part in the ultimate cost to the con-
Der coming from the Northwest mills.
On a carload of lumber received from
POtland this week by his company
costing $455 at the mill, the freight
charges were $593, or exactly $13S
more than the F. O.. B. cost of lumber.
However, even with this heavy item
of freight the Oregon product, which is
! far superior to the native lumber, is
being sold locally at lower price.
Inc TACT lHdC WluSloW HOW Has tWo
progressive lumber yards who intend
to give their patrons the advantage Of
every decline should. and undoubtedly
will, encourage home building. Too
much, however, must not be expected
from the lumber dealers, for until you
can buy Ford for $3.50, a pound of
sugar for six cents, a good suit of
clothes for SIS or $40. wholesome
meal for two bits it is not likely that
a thousand feet of lumber can be sold
for $40.

LIVESTOCK AND RANGES IN ARI-
IONA AND WESTERN NEW MEXICO

Another cold week, the coldest of
the season, prevailed over the stock
ranges OF Arizona and western New
Mexico. \ Generally clear skies and
absence of stormy weather rendered
conditions comparatively tolerable for
stock Saturday night a storm of mo-
derate activity prevailed in the north
ern section and covered the ground
with llgh snow ranging from an in
Iappreciable amount in the vicinity of
Prescott to two inches at PinedaIe and
Grand Canyon. One inch fell at Pinto
but disappeared rapidly and by Tues
day morning only smal1 patches lay on
the ground. The Weather Bureau OBJ
server at Williams reports that two
inches cover slopes facing north while
southern slopes are entirely bare.
Sunday the highest temperature at
that place was 2S degrees. Owing to
an unusually dry atmosphere the loss
from evaporation has been large both
from water surfaces and the soil.
While the condition of the stock is
fairly good continued cold weather has
caused some shrinkage which, how.
ever, might be expected at this sea-
son. The Forest Ranger at the Wal
Enut Creek Ranger station, Yavapai
county, states that stock came through
L
the month OF November in fine shape.
While the snow did much to anchor
ate the exceedingly dry conditions pre-
Vailing in the northern counties the
water supply with few exceptions is
becoming low. Conditions over the
southern part of the district have
changed but little, the range continu-
ing dry and the water supply low.
Farming operations in dryland por-
tjons of the state have made little
progress owing to the exceedingly dry
condition of the soil. The soil is too
hard in many sections for cultivation
because of lack of moisture and seed
is terminating slowly Fair weather
favored cotton picking in the south
ern valleys and rapid progress was
made. The grade this season will
compare very favorably with that of
previous years.

offense of Gore against his government and
labelled "Offense No, l OF Thomas Pryor Gore

The principle of fair play Is greatly outraged
in some OF these remarks and should not be
passed over without attention.
Having heard campaign speeches OF both
Gore and Ferris, one cannot help noticing the
tendency of the latter to dwell almost entirely
on the called war record OF Gore and
throughout has not word Of constructive
criticism nor plans for the present and future
The one underlying motive appears to be 10
