 missing since last December and be-
 lieved to have been. the victim of g murder, had left the ranch where he was living or Blind Indian creek and had gone to California, and departure of a party from the sheriff's office to institute a search for the remaining parts of the body found last Friday at the bottom of an abandoned shaft near the ranch, were the chief devel- opments of the inquiry revolving around the disappearance of Stein brook and the discovery of the remains of g. human body near his ranch.

THAT NIDDL.EMERJ
 PROFITEER

The annual meeting of the State
 Farm Bureau was called to order al
 the court house, Flagstaff, yesterday
 morning by President c. s. Brown, ot
 Tucson. Secretary W. E. Snyder, al- so of Tucson, was present to take care care of his duties.
 President Brown said that there are 5000 members in the state, and called attention to the fact that every county was represented at the meeting except Gila and Mohave.
 Fred Tait, president of the Mari copa county Farm Bureau, said that through cooperation the farmers of his county had saved S16,O00 in buy ing 100000 grain bags and were say ing $6,000 a week in buying gasoline for autos and tractors, having secur- ed a reduction of 2 1-2 cents a gal lon.
 D. W. Working, dean of the agri- i cultural department of the state uni versity, told of the work of his de- partment and it's eagerness to at all times cooperate with the bureau. George Kinne, Of Casa Grande, Pinal county, said the farmers there were saving a lot of money on gasoline and fuel oil by buying comparatively. A recent audit of the books of the bu reau showed a surplus of $20,000.
 Judge Sam Holderman, of Light, Cochise county, called attention to the community of interest and the need of better cooperation between cattle men, sheepmen and farmers. L. L. Bates, the well-known Prescott cattle man, spoke along the same lines and of the need of some plan for market ing that would insure the producer a fairer proportion of the profits made from his products. He said he recent ly offered seven cow-hides for pair Of work shoes, and was turned down, and that morning, in Flagstaff, had offered 50 cow-hIdes for a S36 suit of clothes, again being turned down.
 President Brown followed with . plea to the farmers to stick together and work out their problems, the greatest of which is the middleman.
 C. M. Bridge, of Somerton, Yuma county, said the greatest present need is confidence between the farmers and cooperation in buying and marketing. The farmers and stoclmen are the only two claSSeS or people III Ine WcIId who do not decide beforehand what their products shall sell for, he said. He told how in his county they have fixed the prices of alfalfa and alfalfa seed. They will clean the latter themselves and will spend a quarter cent on each pound in advertising it as seed certified by the bureau. He characterized the lniddleman as the enc who stands between the producer and the merchant, for example telling the former that it will take two hog to buy a suit of clothes and the lat ter that it will take two suits of cloth es to buy hog; and then gets ava! with g hog and a suit of clothes for himself
 Joseph E. Robinson, of Phoenix made an eloquent address along pat i.iotic lines Governor Thos. E. Camp bell warned the members against toe much optimism and recklessness iD view Of the present worldwide fnan cial situation. President von Klein Smid, of the state university, said that the college of agriculture of the uni versity is always ready to do all i can to help the farmers solve their problems.

SHERIFF NEWMAN RETURNS
 WITH PRISONER

Sheriff Newman returned last Tuesday morning with his prisoner, Preston Sims, who is wanted for forgery.
 Lee says that all tn e Down Easters" were hos pitable and friendly, and as cities go, Boston is all to the good. Tradition has it that the streets of the Hub were surveyed by COWS, and the sheriff thinks thinks the an- lmals must have wended their ways after filling up on Medford rum. The streets of the north end, until even ing, were devoid of children; but after the shadows fell, "They just turn 'em out in millions" The only folks that were noticed working were some stevedores un- loading a banana boat.
 "The only difference be- tween Eastern and Western people is, we've all their knowledge plus our own" says Lee.

ORIGIN OF ARIZONA
 'PETRIFIED FOREST

The "Petrified Forest" of Arizona, really a series of petrified forests, lies a short distance south of Adamana, on the line of the Santa Fe Railway. There are four forests" included in a Government reservation called Pet rified Forest National Monument" ," created by presidential proclamation in 1906. The name forest is not strictly appropriate, for the petrifed tIee trunks are all prostrate and are broken into sections. The logs are the remains of giant trees that grew in FIiassic time, the age Cf reptiles, a.c- cordirg to the United States Geolog- ical Survey, Department of the Inter for. The trees were of several kinds, but most of them were related to the Norfolk Island pine, now used for in doOr decoration. Doubtless they grew in Q nearby region and after falling, drifted down a watercourse and lodged in some eddy or sand bank. Later they were buried by the sand and clay, finally to a depth of several thousand feet. Their conversion to stone was effected by gradual replace ment of the woody material by silica in the form called chalcedOny, depos- tied by underground water. A small amount of iron oxides deposited at the same time has biven the brilliant and beautiful brown, yellow, and red tints which appear in much of the material. The sand and clay in which these trees were buried were after wards washed away. Some of the tree trunks are 6 feet in diameter and

There is ridiculc of a report that the individual lately killed in the mountains while resisting arrest was not "Red Whiskers" E. B. Burnett, and that the local officers, making a mistake, had offered another mans corpse in the hope of reward.
 Judges, penitentiary guards, jailors and local peace officers all join in the emphatic assertion that the body was that of Burnett, capable of positive Identification by reason or marks and scars.

PetrifcadO's Nole Book

Ing SouCnWarQ rom MlOQIS
 River station toward Mount
 DiaIbo, there is a long
 stretch of Tula Land that
 has been reclaimed and
 made into Q wonderful graz
 ing ground for cattle. This
 pasture has only one fault.
 It is lower than the waters
 "Whiskey Slough, which
 unfortunately Is located on
 the prohibition side of the
 pasture. The foreman, MT.
 G. Martin of the Diablo Ket-
 chem Land and Cattle Co.,,
 was digging along the dyke
 between whiskey slough and
 the pasture for some kind of
 a headache remedy known as Taylor Bros. Four X,
 when he inadvertently let the waters of whiskey slough in on the grazing land inun- dating the whole tract in a. bout two feet of water be- fore the cattle could be got ten out. But foreman Mar tin was equal to the occasion. He immediately provided his cowboys with small mot or boats to work the cattle with. It certainly is a nov el sight to see the cattle wading around knee deep oyer the submerged pasture and the bright colored mo- tor boats Hitting hither and yon keeping the cattle in their proper places until the waters recede. These boys name their boats very much the same as the Arizona cowboys name their horses. We noticed the following names painted on the sides of some of the boats: "Sour Dough, H. A., Pacer, Too Bad, Crane Whitely and Skunk Tail" All the boys have to do now is to keep the COWS over in the cowpeas and the er-other kind of cat tie over in the bull rushes.
 Miss Mary Beasley, whom it will be remembered is so- journing along the Califor- mia coast these bright sum- mer days with MT. and Mrs. w. o. Morgan, decided to take a sea voyage from Mid die river to Stockton one day last week. And so in com pany with Mrs. Morgan as chaperone, she boarded the "Adamana Simp," a fine passenger boat that serves the islands along the Calif- ornia coast. After seeing the ladies safely tucked a. way in their state rooms, we asked the captain why the i boat was named the Ada mana Simp." He replied that the owner MT. Simpson was from Adamana, Ariz. and had named the boat for the Arizona town and him self. As the Simp was not ready to sail the captian in- vited us to look her over, which we did; and found the owner very loyal to Adama- ma. There were pieces of | petrifed wood for door stops and paper weights, and the walls were covered with pie lures of scenes from the Painted Desert, and just as one entered the main salon there was a picture of Ed Hennessey branding one of his OWN calves.
 The ladies on their return were very extravagant in their praises of treatment accorded them while on the boat and the splendid seen cry en route. The Adamana Simp spoke to several boats enroute among which was the Bibo Belle the SholOw Snifter and the Winslow Windy. Neither of the lad ies contributed to the sup port of the fish during the voyage. which was probably averted by the thoughtful

In the first forest there is trunk that forms natural bridge over a small raNine, the water having first washed away the overlying clay and sand and tfen, following a crevice, worked cut the channel underneath. The length of this log is no feet, and the diam eter feet at the butt and 1 1-2 feet at the top.
 The petrifed woods are beautiful objects for study. When thin slices are carefully ground down to thick ness of 0.003 inch or less and placed under the microscope they show per fectly the original wood structure, all the cells being distinct, though now they are replaced by chalcedony. By studying the section F. H. Knowlton. of the Geological Survey, has found that most of these araucariau trees were of the species Araucarioxvlon arizonicunl, a tree now extinct. It is known to have lived at the same peo- logic time also in the east-central part of the United States, where the re- mains of some of its associates have also been found. These included other cone-bearing trees, tree ferns. cvcads, and gigantic horsetails, which indicate that at that time the rainfall of the Southwest was abundant.

PROTECTION FIRST

Mr.. Gompers recently said in a public address that
high wayge the best possible wages the best possible
hours and working conditions are the greatest incentive
to industrial commercial and financial prosperity" This
seems like statement obvious truth and yet it NAV
be that Mr. Gompers has cause and effect It
might be in accordance with to assert that
industrial commercial and financial prosperity result in
high wages and the best possible hours and working con-
dtions. The Republican party has always been an ad-
vocate of industrial and financial prosper-
ity as of enabling employers to pay high wages
and maintain the best possible hours and working cond
tons Without that prosperity there can be no satisfac
tory wages and not satisfactory working conditions
Immediately following the enactment of the Wilson,
Underwood Tariff Law there considerable increase
in the Importation of foreign goods with resultant clos
ing of American mills and the discharge of hundreds Of
thousands of employees At that time it would not have
been possible for employers to pay high wages
or maintain short hours ideal working conditions The
payment of high wages maintenance of short hours
would not have produced industrial or commercial
prosperity for the cheaper of Europe was supply
ing American markets and there have been no pros
perity here long American money was being sent to
Europe to pay for European goods
The Republican policy is to enact protective tariff
law which imposes import duties at least equal to the diff
ference in cost production here and abroad so that
cheap labor in Europe and Asia shall not be enabled to
lnderse the American producer Being assured of pro-
producer will be able pay best possible wages in
his country and continue to operate the best pos
sible hours of labor and working conditions
The manufacturer must be reasonably assured of a
market before he produces goods he is assured
market he cannot safely employ labor and unless he
IAN safely employ labor he not pay high wages or
my wages at all.

the amount of money tied up in the
fishing boat and equipment, or the ex-
penses for operating the craft, includ-
ing oils and gasoline. In past years
it was nothing unusual for a single
crew of two fishermen to catch several
hundred fish in a single day, but at
that time the dealers paid only about
10 or IL cents apiece for the fish, while
this season the price averaged we'll
over 81 apiece. Local dealers lost con-
siderable money this year on their

paid the fishermen over 81 piece for
the fish, received only 65 cents a piece

FARMERS OF NATION UNITING
$1OO,OOO,OOO Grain Marketing COrpO-
ration to be Charteded in Delaware

Plans for cooperative grain mar
keting,. recently outlined by growers,
were advanced today by the formation
of the Farmers Finance Corporation,
with capital stock Of $1OO,OOO,OOO.
This announcement, made by the exc
cutive committee of the United States
Grain Growers, Inc, stated that Ber-
nard Baruch, of New York, one of the
financiers with whom conferences
were held in New York on Saturday,
will act in an advisory capacity for
the newly-organized body. Ineorpor-
alton papers will be filed in Delaware
next Friday. Purposes of the corpor-
alton, it was stated, include affording
the farmers a ready market in case of
money stringency, fastening the
movement of grain between the point
of origin and the consumer, and the
elimination of much of the handling
of products by middlemen. The or
ganization does not seek to wreck the
existing marketing system, it was
stated. =.
