COTTON AT 97.5. |S. SOLD IN VALLEY.
Seventy-Five Bales at That Price Disposed of by the Arizona American-Egyp- tian Cotton Growers As SOciatiOn.

Dollar cotton is in sight
 Yesterday the Arizona Amerlcah- Egyptian Cotton Growers association sold for their members a carload of = bales at 971a cents, nearly 10 cents above the local market, or S30 baie advantage to the grower. This secures for those members who made up this list a total of $3750 extra on the one carload, and other similar lists are be- Ing made up to offer on this high mar Ret.
 We had an offer of s1 a pound on Wednesday, said w. s. Stevens. presi- dent of the association, to a RepuD- dcan representative yesterday, put we were unable to complete a carload be- lore the market went off a little. But even at that, the highest regular local quotation was from S712 cents to 90 cents, so we have sprung it quite a little.
 Whole Valley Benefited
 "Of course, we have been unable to give the advantages of our market let ter and our cooperative selling plan to the growers generally; we are com pelled to restrict it to our members who help pay the expenses of the as sociation to a large extent
 Nevertheless, the whole valley has benefited by the work of the @--ocIa- ton to the extent of hundreds of thou sands of dollars, for there is no ques- lion that the work of this association has repeatedly and materially boosted the price of both seed and lint nearer 10 its actual value than otherwise would have been offered.
 Growers Sign Up
 The association has made good, continued MT. Stevens, made good emphatically and the growers of the valley and the surrounding valleys are recognizing the benefits of co-opera- ton by coming in voluntarily and signing up their acreage for the fol- lowing year and thus arranging to par ticipate in the benefits of the work or the association.
 ''The scope and work of the asso- ciation is constantly enlarging, and its benefits growing in a corresponding manner. Next week several represent atives of the association will go to Montgomery, Ala, to attend a meeting of the American Cotton association, with which the Arizona American Egyptian Cotton Growers association is affiliated. We expect to have some announcements of great importance to the growers in a short time.

Smelling Johnson's two herders, Dean
Leonard and William Mann, rode into
town with stories of u most brutal
tragedy enacted in SIoffat county. Col

line.
1t is the story of a midnight raid by
cattlemen on defenseless sheep herders
and the wanton destruction of prop
erty.
1t appears the cattlemen arrived at
the camp about II o'clock Monday
night and ordered the herders out of
the camp wagon. They were to told

the camp and other property, and if
they had in the camp anything belong

The men replied hat they had some
clothes and saddles. INC also two camp
guns. These things were thrown out
of the camp wagon and the herders
were led II short distance away, and
stood there blindfolded with their
hands in the air. Leonard claims he
could hear them chOpping at the wagon
and vas under the impression they had
chopped the spokes out of the wheels
and used these as clubs with which to
slaughter the sheep.
After what seemed about an hours
time, the noise stopped and they were
put on horses and taken about a mile
from the camp and left there with their
hands tied behind them IL blindfold-

Severe Spring Storms.

The storm period of the past week
has caused much suffering among live
stock of this section and there is a
considerable shortage Of feed through
out the valley. Few growers have any
surplus feed and what can be bought
finds ready market ut prices up to $50
per ton.
The blizzard which ragged here dur:
ing last Saturday and Sunday was one
of the worst of the winter and others
less severe have followed a few hours
apart throughout the week. However,
newspaper reports from the surround
ing country indicate that the Platte
valley has been more fortunate than
some other sections, where extreme
weather has caused loss of life and con
siderable losses of stock and other
property. The present indications are
favorable for Il break in the weather
but deep snow and extremely bad o
conditions will remain with US for some
time to come.
