LIVESTOCKASSOCIATION AT- HACKS THE BIG PACKERS

stockmen could get out of their pres ent unfavorable situation by reducing the number of their cattle, selling the undesirables.
 Lets have fewer and better cattle until we see what this situation is," he declared.
 The meeting in the afternoon heard addresses by Professor w. A. Cochel, of Kansas City, Mo-; Honorable s. F. Tolmie, minister of agriculture of the Dominion of Canada; I. T. Pryor, of San Antonio, Texas, and K. D. New man, of Fl Paso.
 Professor Cochel urged the stock men to "endeavor in every way to re- duce the cost of marketing, eliminat- ing superfluous middleman costs, and developing home and foreign mar kets."
 Minister Tolmie told the delegates of the livestock situation in Canada.
 q am not alarmed by the present business conditions existing in the United tSates and in Canada" said he. "Of all the countries engaged in the war, the United States and Canada are in better condition than any oth- CT countries in the world"

10000 WILD HORSES
 MENACE TO RANGE

The San Carlos Indian reservation will be cleared of more than 10000 wild horses, which are roaming the range and damaging the grazing for cattle, if the plans of A. H. Symons, Indian agent, are accepted by the Apache Indians of the reservation; and the Indians will have the value of the horses in cash or its equal.
 A representative of the Arizona Record, on recent visit to one of the sessions (pow-wows) being held be- tween the agent and the Indians, learned that the Indians are the proud owners of more than 10000 wild horses, most of which are worth less except for the value of their meat, which has been used as food by Indians for ages. These horses are roaming the ranges of the reservation and destroying thousands of dollars worth of grazing. The cattlemen who have leased vast acreage on the reser- vation have offered to purchase the horses, but the Indians still insist on keeping them.

DOUGLAS SAYS ECONOMY
 ONLY WILL SAVE STATE

J. S. Douglas arrived at his home in Douglas on Saturday, having been away for two weeks at Jerome, Pres cott and Phoenix. At Phoenix Mir. Douglas attended a meeting of Ari- zona Taxpayers association when there was a conference with legisla- tive committees regarding the neces- sity for retrenchment and lowering the tax rate of the state.
 He said that tax valuations in Ari- zona should be put back to an average of ten years prior to 1914 and that he still believes the expenses of running the public institutions of the state should be cut one-half He said that few people realized the desperate con- ditions now confronting the principal industries of the state, including cop per, cattle and cotton. Unless there can be a great relief in the matter of taxation the state is heading for bank ruptcy.
 MT. Douglas said that he was pleas ed to find a disposition among many of the members of the legislature to cut out all unnecessary expense and all for work that can we'll afford to be left over for two years.
 While the individual is compelled to cut his expenses to the bone in or der to weather the reconstruction per- iod, MT. Douglas thinks that the legis- lature and those officials paying out public money should do the same thing.

E. s. CLARK MOVES
 OFFICE TO PHOENIX

Elias S. Clark, attorney of Prescott, who leaves to continue his law prac- tice in Phoenix, has been directly as- sociated with the history of Prescott for the last 32 years as one of the city's most prominent and esteemed men.
 Coming to Prescott the first time in 1889, he was associated with "Bucky" O'Neil, in the editing and management of the "Hoof and Horn" livestock mag azine. Later he was with the Journal Miner for about a year and then left Prescott until 1902 to live in Flag staff.
 He was admitted to the bar in 1893 in Coconino county by Judge Hawkins and served term as district atttor- ney for that county from 1897 to 1899.
 Coming back to Prescott and Yava- pal county in 1902 he was elected dis trict attorney for the term 1903 to 1905, and was attorney general from 1905 to 1909.
 He has held many positions and taken prominent part in the public life of Yavapai county, serving among other positions as the supervisor of census in 1890 and as president of the Yavapai chamber of commerce in 1920.
 He was an unsuccessful candidate for U. s. senator in the republican primaries last September.

THREE PACK HORSES PLUNGE OVER WALL
 ON CANYON TRAIL

The first serious accident in the history of the Bright Angel Trail at the Grand Canyon occurred Friday morning when three pack horses load ed with hay, grain, provisions, bedding and 116 pounds of INT for the con- struction camp at the foot of the trail, where the National Park service is engaged in the erection of a bridge across the Colorado river, went over the wall of the canyon and perished on the rocks below.
 Among the horses was black one recently acquired by Superintendent D. L. Reaburn. This horse was unac- customed to the trail and had acted badly upon a previous trip. In round- ing the first curve immediately be- low the Kolb Brothers studio it is supposed either that the pack slipped upon the horse or that he was acci- dentally prodded from behind, where upon he turned, reared and plunged off of the trail.
 The three horses were roped togeth- CT and in its mad plungs the black horse pulled the other two horses with it. The first horse to go over landed at the second turn, POS feet below; the second horse landed at the fourth turn, $50 feet below; while the third horse did not stop until it had reached the sixth turn in the trail, about $50 feet from where it took the fatal plunge or within few feet of the tun- nel.
 The TINT did not explode. Luckily, there were no tourists on the trail at the time the accident occurred.
 Later in the morning the regular trail trip down into the canyon was attempted, but the II mules carrying the party upon reaching the second turn in the trail, where the mangled body of the first horse lay, refused to pass and the guides abandoned the trip and the party returned to the rim.
 What effect the accident will have upon the plans of Superintendent Rea- burn, who contemplates transporting the immense cables to be used in the construction of the bridge across the Colorado river down the trail by means of pack animals, remains to be seen.

PLAN DEVELOPMENT
 OF COLORADO RIVER

Concerted action by the seven inter- ested states and the federal govern ment in the development of the power and irrigation possibilities of the Col orado river and it's tributaries is the expressed aim of the Colorado river commission permanently organized last week at meeting of the state en- gineers of Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and Wyoming and represent atives of the United States reclama- tion service.
 Additional states which will have members of the commission are Cali fornia and New Mexico.
 A tentative bill to be presented to the legislatures of the states involved and to congress as adopted by the commission will call for the permanent appointment by each state of a repre- sentative on the commission. Frank F. Weymouth, chief engineer of the reclamation service, was selected as secretary of the organization and the members pledged themselves to sup ply him with all available data con- corning projects present and prospect i've calling for the developments of the waters of the Colorado and its tribu- taries. This information will be made the basis for concerted action to be determined upon at future meetings.
 Discussion centered about the need for cooperation between the states and the feedral government in the de- velopment now under way and con- both in the extension of power projects and in irrigation and reclamation undertakings affecting the waters of the west, especially those of the Colorado river basin.

WINE WORKS WHILE
 POLICE AGENTS SLEEP

William Jennings Bryan would have chortled with glee could he have been present when about 15 barrels of wine, that have long been stored in the old county jail on o. K. street, were in- vestigated and were found to have turned into very sour vinegar The wine had been taken in various raids under the old county administration, and placed under lock and key in the jail for want of a better way to dis pose of it.
 It was found that the bungs had been knocked out of all the barrels so that the air was admitted and the wine quickly changed to vinegar. It has not been decided yet just what to do with the liquid that remains, but there is enough to set the county up in the picking business.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 LIVE STOCK LETTER
Kansas City Stockyards,

GftIi,
 Hog prices today were 25 to 35 cents higher than last weeks close. Receipts were light and demand urgent. De- mand for fat cattle was fairly active and prices were stronger than last weeks close. The bulk of the offer ings drew killers bids. Stockers and feeders sold readily. Receipts at all markets were short of a week ago. Sheep were 10 to 15 cents higher, and lambs strong. The undertone was firm.
 TOday's Receipts.
 Receipts today were 1000 cattle, 5000 hogs, and $500 sheep, compared with 14,000 cattle, 13,000 hogs, and 1000 sheep week ago, and 22,000 cat tie, 13,000 hogs, and 1000 sheep a week ago, and 22,000 cattle, 28,500 hogs, and 4290 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle Receipts Decrease.
 A moderate decrease in fat cattle receipts today compared with week ago, and about half as many cattle as a year ago, checked the sagging con dition in the market. Prices showed no material rally, but the steadier tone gave an improved outlook. Trade was fairly active. The bulk of the steers sold at $7.25 to $S.5O, few leads $S75 to $9.5O. Butcher grades sold more readily than last week, though at unchanged prices. Most of the fat cows brought $5.25 to $6.50, and heifers S6.00 to $8.25. Veal calves were fully steady.
 StOckers and Feeders Steady.
 Stock and feeding cattle were in moderate supply and prices steady. Good to choice thin steers that have had no dry feed are scarce and they are selling relatively better than the weightier kinds that show some grain. Not many steers are moving to feed lots and the bulk of the outgoing sup ply will be roughed through to grass. Better Demand for Sheep and Lambs.
 Demand for fat sheep was much better than last week and prices ruled 10 to 15 cents higher. Lambs were steady, ewes sold at $500 to $5.35, wethers $6.00 to $640, and lambs $9.75 to $10.25. Inquiry for half fat grades was small.
 Horses and Mules.
 This weeks auction in the horse and mule division opened with about 400 head available. A good many buyers were here. First sales were steady.

STATE IN BRIEF

A Sunday blue law has been intro duced in the house by 1. P. Frazier, of Santa Cruz. The law provides for fines ranging from S5 to $100 and 30 days imprisonment for persons en- gazing in secular affairs or work oth- CT than for public welfare, charity or mercy.
 S. Nakamine, Japanese rancher, was found literally hacked to pieces in the yard of his ranch house near Acre City Tuesday, morning. From evidence surrounding it was conclud- ed there had been a free for all fight with axes, three axes being found near the body. Robbery was apparently the motive for the crime.
 Tony Name, an ex-soldier, was found dead in his room in the Central Hotel at Phoenix Monday night, with a bullet through his head. A muffled report of the shot was heard by room CTS next to him. An automatic revol- yer was found on his dresser with a shell damned. It is thought his death was caused accidentally. He had a bank book showing $1 900 on deposit and there was no reason known for suicide.
 Representative Belts has introduced a bill prohibiting dancing in all school buildings.
 Judge Stanford, of Phoenix, at re- cent meeting at the Central Methodist church, declared in favor of segre- gated district as the most practical remedy for social evil. Reform schemes are all right, but unless we take steps to segregate the scarlet woman and keep her apart from our children, we are making little pro- gress toward the goal. favor a prop erly regulated segregated district as remedy for our existing social ills" he declared.

THE FEDERATED CHURCH

The attendance was exceptionally good last Sunday in spite of the snow and bad weather. We notice by the secretary's report that the attendance in Sunday school is increasing. We are glad to see that, but we would also like to see a larger number of adults attend the Sunday school. If you feel that you know enough already about the Bible, that is all the more reason why you should come and impart some of that knowledge to others. We have received our stereoptican and will begin to use it at once. The mo- tion picture machine will be here in a few days. We hope through the med ium of this additional equipment to put on a much more effective christ ian educational program. Better come to all the services for you might miss something for which you would be sorry. There will be a special ser vice for the Junior C. E. S. next Sum day afternoon at p. m. We would like to have the church full of little folks. There was good interest in both the senior C. E.. s. and the Inter- mediate. The new officers in the Sen- for c. E. s. are taking hold with in- terest. There is contest on in the Intermediate C. E. Come and visit these meetings, you will enjoy them. Our yearly church bulletins are out and we want everybody that is inter- ested in our church to have one. The subject for the sermon next Sunday morning, Spiritual Progress" Even ing, "And Andrew" If you enjoy hearing the old-fashioned Gospel of Jesus Christ preached, come out to these services. You are certainly well come. w. H. TOOK, Pastor.

 Just as strong in faith and works;

 If the whole world followed you-fol-

 Banished from beneath the crust
 Covering human hearts from view Tell me, if it followed you, Would the world be better?
