Railway strike threat dampens optimism, but does not halt fall trade and industrial progress. Eff feet on stock, cotton and grain markets transitory. More effect on farm product prices than on other lines. Foodstuffs and coal note quickened orders and shipments. Cooler weather helps retail buying. Fewer "good," but more flair" trade reports. Industry gains fur ther and unemployment decreases. Lumber trade takes center of stage with increased sales, higher prices and larger shipments. Funi- ture better. Weekly food index lower. Decreases exceed gains in prices generally. Iron and steel quiet, prices not greatly altered. and output better. Woolen and knit-goods mills busy. Failures still numerous. Clearings increase but are one-fifth below 1920 week. Lower prices offset enlarged wheat exports. Cement output at peak Money relaxes further. Sterling exchange highest in months.

 If private individuals construct the dams they can be taxed to help build the roads and bridges and be of sim liar value to the county as are the big mines in many of the counties to the south.
 The government ownership of the big power projects is only a continu- ance of present conditions, where the government controls and wonders why we can't pay the taxes and do the things necessary to make it comfort able for the overland travelling public.
 Those present with the government officials were: Supervisors Fred Gar ing and w. H. Campbell, M. l. Pow CTS, Stephen Janus of Leupp, T. A. Stahl, F. s. Breen, C. B. Wilson and Father Vabre.
 There are hopes that some good will come of the meeting. Supt. Janus has taken the matter up with the Indian department and is advised that as- sistance may be expected from that source.

BOILER IN EARTH'S INTERIOR

One of the worlds wonders of which few people have ever heard Is at Argostoli, in the island of Cephalonia, the largest of the seven Ionian islands.
 The power that works the corn mills at Argostoli is derived from the sea, which rushes downward into the land. Many millions of gallons of salt wa ter have run down into the interior of the earth in this manner.
 Experts believe that the water finds It's way down through the soil and rocks to heated areas far beneath the surface, where 1t becomes steam.
 But where are the necessary outlets for such vast clouds of steam? The opinion Is held by some that the an- swer to this mystery is to be found in the frequent activity of the nearest volcano.
 It is supposed that the active volca- noes of Italy are the safety valves of the enormous subterranean boiler which Is turning this infiowing water into the steam and gases which escape from these volcanoes.
 Some scientists declare that if the inflow of the sea was stopped earth quakes would be less frequent.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 MARKET REPORT
Kansas City stockyards. Oct. 24.

Kansas City Stockyards, Oct. 24.
 The increasing belief that the pro- posed railroad strike will be of much smaller proportions than thought probable, or that there will be some adjustment without strike tended to reduce cattle and sheep receipts. Cat tie held steady in the face of lower prices for grass grades in Chicago. Hog prices were down 10 to 15 cents, top $7.90. The smallest run of sheep, 5000, on any Monday in two months was cleared at strong to 50 cents high CT prices.
 TOday's Recipts
 Receipts today were 31 ,000 cattle, 5000 hogs, and 5000 sheep, compared with 37,0O0 cattle, 5000 hogs, and 16- 900 sheep week ago, and 22,000 cat tie, 5000 hogs and 5000 sheep year ago.
 Beef Cattle Steady
 Good fat cattle sold first at fully steady prices and as soon as these cleared killers bought grass fat steers readily. Prices in average were unchanged, though tI |e was a better feeling in the trade than last Week. OOIilc CHolCc Stecrs anu HcllCrs mixed sold at $9.60, medium to heavy weight fed steers at S8.75 to $9.50, and short fed steers $7.75 to $8.60. Grass fat steers brought $4.25 to ST. 30, mostly $5.50 to S650. Demand for grass fat cows and heifers was more active than week ago, though prices were not quotably changed. Veal calves were firm.
 StOckers and Feeders Best classes of stock steers and stock cows and heifers were stronger. Feeders were steady. More than 42,- GOO stockers and feeders were shipped to country points last week. Demand today continued active. Hogs Lower Chicago reported the largest receipt of hogs for some time past with prices lower. This decline weakened the market here but offerings cleared readily. The top price was S7.90 and bulk of sales S7.25 to S7.S0. Pigs were in active demand at $7.50 to S8.40. Packers continue to buy hogs at up river markets and ship here for slaughter.
 | Sheep and Lambs Higher The bulk of the good lambs here to- day sold at $S.25 to $8.60 and were quoted 25 to 50 cents higher. Sheep were stronger. Ewes brought s4.0O to $4.25. Receipts were the smallest for some time past and indicate the approaching end of the range move ment.
 Horses and Mules
 Trade in horses and mules increased some in the past week, though prices are not quotably changed. CHARLES NJ. PIPKIN, | Market Correspondent

MIGRATORY SHEEP LAW
 FOR CATTLE RANGES TESTED

Many cattle and sheep men from the northern part of the state were at Prescott Monday to attend the trial in the superior court of s. L. Wiltbank, sheep grower, on a charge of having failed to move his flocks at the rate of three miles a day across the land said to have been a recognized cattle range. 'E-
 At the close of the hearing Judge John L. Sweeney announced that he would make his ruling after both sides had filed briefs. He gave each side five days to file the briefs. The case was tried without jury.
 Counsel for both sides said this case was important as it will help to determine the power of the state to determine just what grazing land especially that lying on government domain, can be legally set aside oi recognized as cattle land and on which the sheep law can be applied More than 10 defendants face trial or similar charges but the Wiltbank case was selected as the first one for trial and also the one in which the issues would be threshed out.
 The land in question is in Yavapai county between Agua Fria and the Maricopa county line, a few miles north of the Salt River valley.

STUNT WITHOUT LOCOMOTIVE

Railroad yards are now being equipped with system which dis penses with the necessity of making use of locomotive and its crew mere- ly for the purpose of shifting a car or two. An electric capstan was re- gently introduced for just such pur- pose. The car puller, as the device is called, consists of a powerful electric motor driving capstan through low reduction coil. In order to pull one or two cars along the track, one end of stout rope Is made fast to car while the other end is wrapped around the capstan and pulled by the operator so as to insure firm hold. A handle protruding through the mo- tor casing serves to start and stop the motor.

CT balance of food is no small task. No woman can feed her family well unless she plans her meals beforehand. The haphazard serving of what hap pens to be at hand is neither wise nor economical.
 The woman who does her market ing herself, as a rule, is the one who gets the best service and often choice foods which will add variety may be found which would otherwise be missed The best cuts of meat will be seen and bought by the woman do- ing her own marketing and she learns much about meat by the daily visits with an intelligent butcher.

INTELLIGENT GEESE

Many are the cases on record of geese whose masters or mistresses en- deared themselves to them and as result were followed about everywhere by the geese just as they might have been by dogs, and dogs are supposed to be the most intelligent of animals.
 There is the historical case of the aged blind woman who was piloted to church on Sundays by her goose. The little old lady would totter along, and when she would be on the point of taking a misstep the silly goose would pluck her by the skirt and guide her in the right direction. In the steps of the church the old woman would be guided to her pew by her neigh bors, while the goose retired to the nearby cemetery to nip grass. When service was over the goose would be beside the church steps waiting to guide its mistress home again.
 MILTON LOVER OF LIBERTY
 Milton was no democrat; equality anu ITaIeTully were uOt HIS tTduc, though liberty was his passion. Lib erty he defended against the tyranny of the mob, as of the king. He pre- ferred republic to'a monarchy, since he thought 1t less likely to interfere with the independence of the private citizen. Political liberty, liberty of worship and belief, freedom of the press, freedom of divorce, he asserted them all in turn with unsurpassed eloquence. He proposed scheme of education reformed from the clogs of precedent and authority. Even his choice of blank verse for Paradise Lost he vindicated as case of "an- cient liberty recovered to heroic song from this troublesome and modern bondage of riming. A.

BELIEFS CONCERNING PEACOCK

The East Indians and North Ameri- can Indians believe that feathers en- dow the wearer with qualities, whether virtues or vices, of the bird from which they are taken; and as the peacock Is vain, arrogant, and greedy, its feathers are supposed to bring bad luck. The Hindus consider 1t good luck to own peacock. In the Middle ages, 1t was customary to serve the peacock at great banQuets with much pomp and ceremony. Over his carcass, medieval knights swore one of their most solemn vows, the ladies being witness thereto. The principals do not appear to have known anything of the origin or meaning of the oath by the peacock, and there is no req son. therefore, for believing 1t to have been traditional and imported. Its incongruous combination with vows to God and the Virgin seems to show that 1t was pagan oath, Christianized in outward form by the aspersion of holy words.
