 He is a sufferer from asthma, and has spent considerable time encamp- ed in the mountains near Walker. His family was there in 1920, but this summer he was accompanied by a friend. also an asthma victim, who remained at the camp yesterday when Long was brought to Prescott
 The authorities would not say that they believed they had finally begun solving the mystery of the Freyda murder, but maintained that there was a possibility that some light may be obtained through Long. An other man is Implicated" the of ficers say, but to what extent, 1t was not indicated. Informants at Walker were quoted as saying they bad good reason to believe" that Long was implicated or knows something material about the case.
 The Freyda and Steinbrook cases both originating in the mountains south and east of town, are paralle in a good many ways. An attemp is now being made through the offei of a $1,OOO reward, to discover th' whereabouts of the Steinbrook slay CTS.
 One of the features of Freyda'' ranch was its vineyard, considered one of the best in the Big Bug dis trict. At the time of the first hut and cry over the discovery of th' gruesome find in the mine tunnel, thu suspicion was voiced that the murder had its seat in an argument over th' vinous products of the ranch.

JUDGEMENT FOR
 PLAIN TIFF IN
 CONTRACT SUIT
CFrom Saturdays Dai1y1

Judgment in the sum of $8O7.5O, with interest at per cent from Au- gust, 1920, yesterday was awarded the plaintiff in a suit for that amount brought in the superior court by the Lyons Milling company of Phoenix against the Kovacovich Mercantile company of Jerome. / The hearing took place before Judge E. E. Bol- finger.
 The plaintiff company brought suit against the Kovacovich' company for alleged repudiation of contract for sale of 62O barrels of flour, through which the Phoenix concern claimed to have suffered a loss of $8O7.5O, representing the difference between the price the defendant company had agreed to pay for the flour, and the price at which the milling company had to sell the flour after the de fendant had refused to accept 1t.
 Additional damages of $155, to cover forfeit charges of 25 cents a barrel alleged to have been stipu- lated in the contract, covering cases of cancellation Of an order, were also asked by the plaintiff company, but denied by the court.
 It was contended by counsel for the defendant company that attempt to recover in the same action the damages of $SO7.5O and the $155, was an attempt to get two different Judgments in the same case for the same alleged non-fulfillment of con tract The plaintiff company was represented by Attorney Robert Mo Murchie; Joseph Morgan was coun- sel for the defense.

George Freyda was missed from his ranch in April May and early June a year ago.

FARMERS NEED ROAD WORK AT

What is the road commission go- ing to do? Sit around and let a scrap over who's going to do the supervising hold up this road work?
 Here's about 100 families out here on the Prescott Farms project. They came here from all parts of the coun- try, solid substantial conservative men-farm owners, the kind of people who want to own their farms and be a part of the community, not rowing .workmen. They are men who came here with from $3,OOO to $2O,O0O they had earned by hard work op their farms-by sacrifice. They came here and bought farms because they wanted to own their farms-they wanted to have homes. As an evidence of that, look at the $15,OOO school they built-that little church they built and the 40 homes they built They put their land into alfalfa and crops, brought their wives, their babies, their cattle, horses and household goods They said: This is home"
 They worked for three years and by the results any man who will drive. through the farms will see how permanent they are. They planted trees and gardens. Neat homes, trees growing, orchards set out, gardens planted and they were get ting along nicely.
 The land is irrigated by Granite Lake dam. It cost a quarter of a million, all paid for and free from debt. Their canals cost $5O,OOO. The builders of the canals lost money.

MOVE NOHAVE ORE TO SUPREME COURT
(From Fridav,s DaIlyl


 Part of the Mohave county mining district was transferred to Phoenix yesterday when 3,400 pounds of "ex- hibits" were forwarded to the su- preme court for filing in connection with the appeal taken by the Tom Reed Gold Mines company from a judgment of the lower court in favor of the United Eastern Mining com pany in an action to quiet title to certain underground portions of min ing claims, says the Republican.
 Miss Virginia Davis, deputy clerk of the court, was somewhat flabber- gasted when two express wagons loaded with 13 crates of rock sam pies made their appearance. She sent out an S. O. s. for H. M. Alex ander, custodian of the state house, who gave the exhibit the once over and injected quite bit of pep into his remarks which were in keeping with the weather. Armed with a rule, he measured spaces, declaring that the exhibits could not get in the elevator nor the doors.
 "It is rather unwieldy," agreed Miss Davis.
 The girl clerk said she had no au- thority to bring the samples of ore in by piecemeal, but had decided to let it remain in the express office until advised what action to take by counsel in the case.

 MAN FUR PROBE
 FREYDA' $ DEATH

George Freyda's murder at his lonely cabin beyond Walker was opened up for further investigation with the detention yesterday of Geo. H. Long, a health-seeker, and the preparation of County Attorney John L. Sullivan to probe what has for 16 months constituted one of the blankest of death mysteries of the Bradshaws.
 That another man." unnamed, and in general, unknown, is concern ed in the affair, was the belief of county authorities yesterday when Long had been brought to Prescott and placed in the county jail.
 To the mystery of the murder Of the old miner and rancher at his place a mile and a half below the Poland mine in Big Bug Canyon on April }, 1920, is now added the prob lem of the 80 pints of wine, alleged to have been dug up in Freyda's back yard on July of this year by Long. Part of the wine, it was said, has been located.
 Information to the effect that Long knows something about the case was transmitted to the authorities by four Walker residents, whose names were not disclosed. They. remem- bered Long being camped with his wife and two children, near Freyda's place during the month of April, 1920. They again saw him in July at the Freyda place, but he had gone when an attempt was made to bring the case to the attention of the of ficers. According to the information given out at the sheriffs office yes terday, notice was sent in that Long

WALLACE DECLARES
FARMERS MUST USE
BUSINESS METHODS
Agricultural Secretary Claims
Consumption Greatly Over
comes Production.
By HENRY O. WALLACE
Secretary of Agriculture

II must be evident that. II the
Department OF Agriculture IS 70
promote the agriculture OF the ma
ton. Il must give more attention 70
what we generally speak Of as busi-
ness matters.
We have come 10 the time when
consumption has practically over
taken production.
Just now we are in the midst OF
serious agricultural depression
caused by unusually large crops and
the breaking down Of our foreign
market and, in part, 10 our domestic
market
This depression in itself illustrates
how intimately agriculture is con-
nected with the business Of the
nation.
Probably 40 per cent OF all our
people live in the open country.
Conditions which affect the purchas-
ing power OF this 40 per cent Of our
population are at once reflected in
the business OF the country
The period OF agricultural ex-
plc.tation is practically at an end
and. IL production IS 10 be main
tanned, every effort must be made to
put agriculture on a thoroughly
sound business basis. The farmer
must be able 10 get prices for his
products which Will give him a fair
rate Of interest on the money he has
invested and a fair wage for mis-
labor and the labor OF his family.
Lacking this the farmer will turn
his efforts in some other direction.
Now II the farmer is 10 get a fair
wage and. at the same time. sell
his crops at prices which the people
OF the country can afford to pay. we
must not only increase our produc-
ton but we must find better methods
OF distribution.
We must get the products OF the
farm 70 the consumer in the city
with less waste and at less relative
cost Also we must learn how TO
take some OF specula tive risk out Of
farming.
In one sense the farmer is the
greatest Spectator in the world.
His business is subjected 10 risks
which he cannot insure against. He
is at the mercy OF the weather. He
has no means of correctly estimating
the demand for the crops he pro-
poses 10 produce. He cannot control
production as can the manufacturer
He has nothing TO say about the
price What he gets for his crops
constitutes his wages, but he does
not know until six months or year

REVIEW OF THE WEEK

The stock market as a barometer
of business has created no little pes
sism during the past several weeks
Its performance comes a shock TO a
majority Of critics, who believe the
period of heaviest liquidation over
The average price of so railroad and
industrial stocks dropped TO the low
est level since December, 1917. The
average price of 40 railroad stocks
reached the lowest point in 90 years.
Traders ignored unmistakable i'm
provement in the credit situation
and all other constructive develop
ments reported in the news.
The question of outstanding i'm
portance now is whether the public
may take the market as a SHE guide
and prepare for acute depression in
business during the balance Of the
year or should look for guidance
elsewhere. The action Of stocks sug-
gests that liquidation in most COM
modities and services may have JUS
begun. On the other hand. it re-
veals a degree Of timidity verging on
panic that conditions hardly justify.
The speculative element usually car
ries an extended movement TO ex-
tremes. The scenes Of 1919 are be
ing re-enacted, but with conditions
reversed. Traders put an unfavora BILE
construction on each event. whereas
before they found in the news only
sure evidence of prosperity They
welcomed even tight money and
