Glendale and Mesi districts already
have selected delegates.
When the central cotton committee
meets Saturday afternoon it will con-
slider, in particular, the following
matters:
There is in the valley some quantity
of late cotton somewhat deficient In
staple or tensile strength. Something
should be done to handle this, to pre-
vent it being dumped at distress prices
and thus hold down the market value
OF the major portion of the crop, which
| is good.
| A large percentage Of this crop has
been consigned, or has loans against II
from various sources, most of which
loans are from financial institutions
/ having no selling agencies. 1t may be
deemed advisable by the committee to
pool the entire amount. The growers
OF long staple in the Delta district have
pooled 100000 bales.
| The time has arrived, in the judg-
ment of the best thinkers in the valley
| for the reorganization of the cotton
growers into a firm type of organiza-
ton for financing and marketing cot
ton, SO that the association controlled
| by the growers can control the sale OF
the cotton. on some plan similar to that
used by the fruit growers organizations
| in California.
| The preliminary plan is ready, sub
ject TO such improvement and amend
ment as can be made by assembling the
best brains OF the community to work
it into final form, and then, an or
ganization committee, go to work tc
put the plan into effect and perfect tbs

Reports from points throughout the state indicate that conditions have not improved the past week and are becoming serious in some places. Even the highest peaks are bare of snow and no rain has fallen in any section so that the water supply is rapidly diminishing. High winds have dried the ranges rapidly and in many sections they are reported bare. the most favored being western Ya- vapai county and northward. Cattle are becoming thinner in eastern and southern parts of the state and some are being shipped from Cochise coun- ty Feeding continues near Fort Bayard, N. w.
 Warmer weather has been very beneficial to all crops. While some what hindered by cool nights the first part of the week, growth of cotton has been greatly stimulated.

Robber Meets Like Fate and death.

dttiOn, a young man. apparently
between 10 and 20 years old, was
discovered on the levee, near the
Adams brick yard. in the upper
suburbs of the city, at 6 O'Clock
this morning.
The man had been struck twice
on the head with a piece of iron
pipe, four feet long, which was
found near the assault. One of
the blows struck the unfortunate
man on the front of the head,
just above the forehead. and the
othes in the rear. causing frac-
ture at the base OF the skull.
He was still alive when discov-
cred. The man who found him
immediately teIephoned to the
pOlice department and the Hix-
son ambulance was dispatched
to the scene, bnt the man expired
before the ambulance arrived.
The body was conveyed to the
undertaking establishment of
HixsOn Bros. where Parish Cor
oner Marvin Capped impaneled a
jury of inquest. which. after
viewing the body. adjourned UNI
I'll O'Clock this afternoon. at
which time an investigation of
the murder will be made.
The dead man was attired in
overalls, the pockets of which
were turned inside out, demon
strating the fact that the high
waymen who assaulted him had
done so for the purpose of rob-
berry. They, however, overlook
ed q five-dollar bill, which I'm
dertaker Hixson found in a pen
ell pocket of the overalls. He
e
wore no socks.

posed of Ed. Dunn, N. G. Ay-

geron and DR.. Marshall Capped.
The dead man was subsequent

that the Grant parish authorities
were looking for young LaCroix.

that young LaCroix was charged
