ARIZONA MUST HAVE FISH HATCHERY OR TROUT SUPPLY
 WILL VANISH, SAYS WARDFE

i Arizona must have a fish hatchery if it hopes to keep up with the army
 of anglers who every summer flocl to the trout streams. This is the con clusion reached by Game Warden Joe
 Prochaska. This stock comes from
 the Leadville hatchery and the annual
 allotment to this state is entirely in-
 adequate, says Prochaska. To meet
 the situation, he says that Arizona
 should have it's own state hatchery, and he has received the first subscrip-
 tion from J. E. Thompson of Greer. Thompson is intensely interested in making Arizona a rendezvous for the sportsmen, and for that reason has of fered to donate S5000 toward the state hatchery.
 Something drastic will have to be done," said Prochaska today in dis cussing the situation. "All of the trout streams with the exception of some that are almost inaccessible are being depleted, and all because Ari- zona is becoming so popular as fish ing ground. The game department is; now seriously considering placing a rigid ban on trout fishing next sea- son.
 "Thc establishment of a state hatchery and the closing of the trout season are matters which we'll might be taken up by the conservation com mission, proposed in. an initiative which will be voted on at the next general election. Such a com mission would be in a position to at least limit the fishing until the pres ent limit of 25 should be cut to ten, as this will provide plenty of fish for the ordinary party
 In support of his contention that the Arizona trout streams are being fished out Prochaska says that there have been not less than 50 arrests this year of persons charged with talk. ing fish under the 6-inch limit. r. has been difficult to prosecute in many of these cases, he says, as the claim is made that the small fish swallow the hook and that they are killed when an effort is made to ex- tract it. No such complaint would be filed, he says, if there were plenty of . good fishing.
 The game warden is quick to assert i hat the fish scarcity does not apply . :o lake fishing. Lake Kinnekenick, Lake Mary, Mormon Lake and Rogers l

MUCH MORE GOLD AND
 SILVER COME IN THAN GO OUT THROUGH PORT

DOUGLAS, Sept. 3.-Gold and sill yer that has come into the United States through the Douglas port since January 1, last, had value far great CT than the silver and gold that pass ed through the port into Mexico dur ing the same period
 Figures available at the office of c. A. Housel, deputy collector in charge here yesterday, showed the gold exports through the port since last January 1 totaled $28S,530, and silver exports, s5S,O3s. All these ex- ports were in the form of American coin.
 During the same period the gold imports amounted to $4S0,00S and sill yer imports, $3,370,960. The imports were in the shape of bullion and ore.
 MT. Housel makes reports for the federal reserve board on gold and sil- yer movements every ten days.

DOVE SEASON OFFICIALLY
 OPENED ON SEPTEMBER 1

The dove season opened officially on September l. It will close Decem- Der 15. ..
 Under the state law the white wing season opens on July 15 and closes December 31, but this year, on &C., count of the birds damaging the crops, the state game warden opened the season on white wings June l.
 The doves ate more grain than the white wings did, according to the farmers, but the federal authorities did not see fit to open the season, and in fact the first week in June made several arrests of hunters who had shot one or more doves. Since that time nothing has been heard of these officials, local sportsmen state and doves have been killed more than the white wings, as they are always more numerous and no further arrests have been made.

 We are glad to pass this informa- tion along, and hope that the packers will continue to put out their explan- ations of market changes, not only at times when the market is declining, but also when it is advancing.
 The packers are beginning to real ize that it is a good business policy to give the producing public some real facts about their business, and farm CTS should meet them half way by studying and analyzing such state ments as are presented from time to time.

ARIZONA RIFLE TEAM
 WINS HON0RS IN OHIO

Arizona's civilian team made an en, viable record at the national rifle as- sociation matches held at Camp Perry, Ohio, last month. In addition to tieing for the civilian interclub match and winning the Port Clinton trophy the team finished fourth and led all civilian teams in the pistol match and finished twelfth in the na- tional rifle match.
 Seventy-two teams selected from all the military and naval branches of the United States, national guards and civilian clubs from all parts of the country, competed in the matches.
 Secretary of War Baker presented the Port Clinton trophy to the team. 1t was received by Ross Savage of Tucson, captain of the Arizona team. The silver cup was offered by the bus mess men of Port Clinton, Ohio. The winning team was composed of Will son, Savage, Abell, Brown, Riggs and Henderson.
 In the civilian inteclub match, Ari- zona's four man team scored 283 and tied for first place. The match was at 200 and 600 yards. Brown, Hen derson, Riggs and Wilson composed the team.
 Arizona also had the distinction of finishing fifth among the civilian teams in the national rifle match, Sl- though her standing was twelfth in cluding the military and naval teams Her score was 3206 while the United States infantry team led with 3221. The team in that contest was com posed of Henderson, Woodal Phoenix; Savage, Christofferson, Monathan and Cordis of Tucson; Abell, Tombstone; Brown, Riggs and Wilson of Douglas and Dennison and Scott of Ajo.
 In the pistol match the Arizonans were led by the United States Mar ines, team No. 1, Phillipine Scouts and the U. s. Army team, all military teams
 In the United States match which was open to sixteen men teams from the regular army, navy, marine corps and militia, civilian team was per mitted to fire but was not eligible to win the trophy. Medals were is sued to each member of the compet- ing teams. Henderson and Savage l were offered places on the civilian team. Henderson accepted but Saw age had to leave before the match be- cause of business appointment.
 Lloyd E. Wilson of Douglas won second prize in the small bore match.
 In addition to medals, many money prizes were won by the Arizonans. Carl Christofferson was coach and Ross B. Savage was captain and their efforts were largely responsible for the success of the team, members re~ ported on their return.

MINER WANT ADS ARE BUSI-

The influence of the value of by.
 products on prices of live stock has
 been talked about great deal, still
 is little understood. Recent declines in hides and wool have been a potent
 market influence, and We are indebted to Swift & Co. for the following fig
 ures. We have no way of knowing that they are exactly correct, but it is not difficult to figure close enough to know that they cannot be far wrong.
 Comparing the weeks ending Aug. g, 1919, and Aug. 7, 1920. It is said that western and Colorado cattle at $11.00 per cwt. this year produced dressed beef at the same cost as steers of the same class that cost on foot, $13.36 per cwt. last year.
 The decline in by-product values is equivalent in handling charges amounts to $0.23 per cwt., making a difference of $2.36 per cwt. live.
 On lambs, those costing on foot $13.50 per cwt. this year produced dressed carcasses at the same cost as those of the same class costing $17.96 per cwt. last year.
 The difference here is: Decline in by-product values $4.36 per cwt; in. crease in handling charges $0.10 pei cwt. Making a total of SAG per cwt. I-
 As compared with a year ago, hide, have dropped from about 43c to 24c and oleo oil from 28c to 1312c accord ing to market reports. And every body knows there has been big drop in wool.
 The foregoing statements are sup ported by the following extract from the federal bureau of markets weekly report, August l9, 1920: "The top today on natives was $12.00 and the { bulk sold at $1O.5O to $11.50, quality and condition of native offerings be- ing very ordinary, with coarse bucky stuff showing up in profusion.
 Gull natives are holding fairly steady at $z.5e to $500 mostly, a big discount from fat lambs, but one not so surprising when the sharply lower values for belts and offal than were current year ago are duly talk en into account Indeed, when it is taken into consideration that 312c per lb. decrease in the credit value of pelts and 1c per lb. decrease in the credit value of the offal from this time last year makes a $12.50 lamb cost as much in the carcass as a lamb
