 RATES IS TOPIC OF
 PHOENIX OFFICIAL

Prescott has freight rate to the coast of $1.4715 on fruits and vege- tables. Phoenix has a rate of less than a dollar.
 Another Prescott rate is $119H. The rate from Phoenix is S9Il cents.
 Railroads are attempting to estab- fish a rate of $1.35 the hundred on wool from Pacific coast ports to the east. The rate on wool from Ari- zona points to the east is $2.9S the hundred.
 This makes the rate from Phoenix Prescott, etc, to the coast, $155 the hundred
 This was the data brought out in Ia short talk before the chamber of commerce at its meeting last night by Roland Johnson, manager of the traffic bureau of the Phoenix cham Der of commerce.
 Manager Johnston explained the recent organization of the Intermoun- tain Rate society, which has for its purpose securing of more equitable rates to and from intermountain points, and elimination of what ahe society considers shipping rates against those points ill comparison with rates for transcontinenta1 hauls. He pointed out that reduction of rates between Phoenix and other points was secured by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce traffic bu- reau, while higher rates still obtain for Prescott.

Thirty Cents for a
 Gallon of Water Is
 Nevada Town Price
(Assocfated Press)

TONOPAH, New, Aug. 22.- Water isn't quite up to the price of liquor, but it IS almost there at Cow Camp, the driest point on the Silver Peak range. They are paying 30 cents a gallon for it and residents agree that it is cheap at the price
 There isn't any competition. The water man has a monopoly and no one envies him his job. The nearest watering place is II miles away. For five miles the water IS carried in bucboard drawn by horses. Then the road narrows into a trail and horses are unhitched, the water bags tied over their backs and the re- mainder of the trip is slow. It takes about a day to make the trip.
 In the old days, when saloons quenched thirsts, there wasn't the de- mand for water that there is now.

YAVAPAI PRODUCE REACHES PRESCOTT
 IN QUANTITY, SAYS
Larger Business in Home Grown Fruits and Vegetables This Year
 Than Before, E. A. Kastner
From Wednesdays DaiIy)

1h1S summer has seen an unusual Ily high consumption of Yavapai-
 grown ranch products in the local market, in the opinion of E. A. Kast- ner, who yesterday cited between Is and 20 ranchers of the Verde valley and elsewhere who brought their products to Prescott and disposed of them here.
 A variety of fruits and vegetables, all of them of the highest quality, was purchased here yesterday by MT. Kastner and other local grocers. Consumption of home products has been mounting steadily, among the articles most in demand being green corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, canta- loupes, pears, peaches and others.
 Due to the closing down of the smelters at Clarkdale and the mines at Jerome, Prescott is the nearest market for the Verde ranchers, who, MT. Kastner said, are disposing of their products here in quantity and at prices which, while profitable to them, enable local buyers to sell at lower rates than are asked for Cali fornia or salt River valley produce
 Among ranchers visiting Prescott with produce Monday and yesterday were c. E. Lancaster, w. E. Wood ruff, V. V. Hawkins, L. Marshall, J. L. Lay, s. w. Bayless, w. B. Wheeler, Ed Bochat, E. Haydorn, Charles Wallace and Bench Bros.

H'rom Wedne1dar.s Dailvl

On July F two small prairie dog experimental plots were established
 on the Prescott. Jerome highway near
 the railroad crossing at the ranch of L. L. Bates, president of the Yavapai County Farm Bureau. The two plots consist of two separate areas of the same size, each fenced prairie dog land stock proof. Two prairie dogs of the same sex were placed in one plot which the check plot contains neither prairie dogs or livestock. The difference in the grass between the
 two plots is then entirely due to what
 the two prairie dogs can eat. The
 experiment was established by the U.
 IS. biological survey, the Yavapai
 County Farm Bureau and the Yava- pai cattle growers cooperating. The object IS to prove just exactly how
 much of the stock ranges of Yavapai county are damaged by prairie dogs.
 Some stockmen say the prairie dogs destroy 25 per cent of the feed on the range, others say over 50 per cent. This experiment, together with similar experiments established three years ago at Seligman, Williams and Grand Canyon, will settle the ques- ton.
 At this time the average height of the grass in the protected area at Grand Canyon is 2S inches, while the average height in the prairie dog enclosure at that point is only two inches, but great deal of this area is as bare as the street in front of the Journal-Miner office.
 The Seligman experiment is prov ing that the prairie dogs eat as many weeds and bushes as they do grass. This is especially interesting to the sheep and goat raisers as their flocks feed upon this forage more than up- on grass.
 Everything was going nicely. with the experiment at the Bates ranch until the other day when the men noticed that the prairie dogs had not been out of their den for several days. Rodent Pest Director D. A. Gilchrist, who is spending the month i'll Yavapai county, was asked to in vestigate the matter Mr. Gilchrist, assisted by Harvey Hurley at the test ranch, dug out the prairie dog burrow and there at the bottom of the hole they found the two missing prairie dogs. No; they were not alive; they were inside of a big bull snake which measured six feet and four inches long. The bull snake evident ly had no more respect for the poor

Canon Crossing of Agua Fria Not Inhabited by Bandit, He Declares
Elom Wednesdays Dally1

There is refreshing lack of truth in some of the reports published on the Canon crossing of the Agua Fria, according to w. Jeff Martin, the keeper of the little wayside posada there. Mir. Martin and family were in the city yesterday.
 Stories to the effect that the cross ing keeper had been lolling in wealth as a result of the work of his team, pulling automobiles across the banks full Agua Fria, are like the reports of the demise of Mark Twain-high- ly, not to say grossly, exaggerated. It is true, according to Martin, that there is a team at the crossing. It works along many hours day serv- ing the public but not at $2 throw Cor pulp but at $1 The highwater mark of receipts was somewhere around $37 for one day, and this, according to Martin, was not much return on the investment and ex- penses of the enterprise, involving as 1t did, two men and four hourses.

 Prospects that the bill changing the mining year to coincide with the fiscal instead of the calendar year, will soon become a law, are given weight in telegram received here yesterday by County Recorder E. A. McSwiggin from Congressman Carl Hayden. The message states:

If the bill is signed, the pres ent mining year will have begun on the first day of last month, instead of on the first of last January.
 No provision is made in the meas ure, Recorder McSwiggin pointed out, for exemption or postponement of assment work, which would have to be performed as before midnight of the day on which the new mining year would end.

Development work on the Big Dome mine i'll the Senator district, one of the old-time producers of this county, will be begun Monday by General Manager Jack Hayes and his men. A new tack is being taken by the present owners of the prop erty to reach the ore. Abandoning work for the present on the two shafts, which fill with water at the rate of so gallons a minute, they in tend to tap the two veins on the property at a point where they come together. This will be done by means of tunnel, work on which will start Monday.
