AT PUEBLO JULY 4 TO 8.

One hundred and twenty eight
harness horses. trotters and PAGERS
coming from ten states, are entered
for the Summer Race Meet at the
State Fair track at Pueblo July 4th
to Sth. They came from Colorado
Utah, Arizona, New Mexico. Neb-
laska. Wyoming, Kansas, Missouri,
California and Texas. In addition
there are seighty-two running horses
now at the track or for whom stalls
have been reserved.
The harness races are three heats
in five and with the class entered
for each race it looks like the racing
card each day would be the best by
far ever seen west of thee Missouri
river. Some Of the most noted
horses in the West will meet at
Pueblo. and already there are
matched races being talked which
will feature rs extra numbers on
the program.
The old state fair track never felt
such a clatter of hoofs as it Is feel

preparation for the ponies. 1t is to
be an old fashioned race meet. So
ciety folks are reserving grandstand
boxes two weeks ahead of the start

THE HAPPY souurz s1Dza

I 1t il stated to the editor on good
authority that more virgin land has
been broken up in the non.irrigat-
ed section to the south. during this
year alone, than during all the
past years since settlement put to-
gether. This Is q remarkable con
ditiOn and marks the beginning OF
a new era and q new faith in the
so-called dry lands" Bumper crops
are being raised this year. Trac-

cry are being sold on . lavish scale.

reached "a per cent.
Spring wheat was rated 80 per
cent on June 1. in the state but in
PrOWers county 94 per cent. The
acreage, however, is estimated at
1l0 per cent of last year or 100000
acres in the state Production
promises to reach more than seven
and half million bushels. compar
ed with little over four and a half
million bushels only three years
ago. All wheat is rated at 24,732 0OC
as compared with 17,844,000 three
years ago.
In oats, barley and rye, PrOwers
county beats the state average, bar

"CAMP6ELL AND INDUSTRIAL
 PEACE"

Industrial "peace" is what we have been suffering from for the last two or three years. What we need now is industrial "ac. tivity." The framers of the slogan, Campbell and Indus trial Peace" have hit the nail squarely on the head. Hunts packers should have slogan. too, and it should be Hunt and Industrial Activity"
 If you care enough about labor history in Arizona and look up the data you will find that dur ing Hunts administration there was but one strike and Governor Hunt quickly settled that by personally Investigating affairs and refusing certain demands of the employers.
 Compare Campbell's record of industrial peace" with the pre- ceding administration. All the labor troubles except the one mentioned above have been un- der the Campbell rule. Their seriousness is a matter of his- tory. What did Campbell do to make peace between the strikers and their employers? Absolute ly nothing.
 Be fair (even in politics, if possible) and give credit where credit is due. At no time in the states history have we had as much industrial peace" as we had during Hunts administra- tion.
 The sentiment throughout the state is swinging strongly to- ward the election of Geo. w. P. Hunt. Men who fought him politically in the past-big men, rich men, influential citizens are showing their preference for him and the white elephant" over "Traveling Tom" and the swarm of automobiles the tax payers are now supporting.
 Why are these men of money and influence focking to the support of Mir Hunt: Because they are tired of the mounting taxes, the extravagance, the useless and unnecessary boards and commissions established un- der the present administration for the purpose of building up Republican political machine.
 When you cast you vote in November cast it for Hunt and Industrial Activity" and not for Campbell and Industrial Peace" We have had too much indus trial "peace. Elk.

The Black Eagle mine shipped

The Black Eagle mine shipped another carload of ore to the Copper Queen smelter at Doug las last Tuesday. Two cars were in readiness for shipping, but only one car was spotted on the siding. which necesSitated hold ing the balance of the ore until another car is available.
 In recent letter from Col. R. R. Richardson, who has been visiting his brother-in law and sister, MT. and Mrs. O. D. Blake ley, of Franklin, Pa., for several weeks, the information is given that be has improved in health and will be home about October 30. The many friends of the colonel are glad to know that he is again to return to Patagonia, as it was feared wben he left that his physical condition was such that he would remain in Pennsylvania permanently, al- though he stated upon his de. parture for the east that he would be back within a month.

 Letters from Mrs. Maud Fran cis and Mrs. Woodie Gatlin give the welcome news that they are improving in health and enjoy ing their visit on the coast. They are located temporarily at Long Beach.

Finley, at Camille, and when that work is completed will move his rig to ! the Green Cattle Company Can anea ranch, where he has a con- tract to drill several wells.

TWO PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.

There will be two proposed constitutional amendments on the general election ballots on November z, one providing for a bond issue to build a paved road between Phoenix and Ehrenburg on the Colorado river, and another relating to changes in the public school system of the state. So far the year 1922 has been a bad year for constitutional amendments in Arizona, and we shall expect to see both these proposed amendments fail, as they should, in our opinion. It is not likely that the voters of the state will devote a sufficient amount of time to learn about the virtues and faults of the proposed edu- caLional amendment, and as to the bond issue amendment it is dead already.

JIM PARKER DOING GOOD WORK

The road work being done on the Patagonia Nogales road by Jim Parker, Jr. and his small crew of men deserves the com. mendation of the citizens of the county. Most of the grades were badly washed during the summer rains and were in a de- plorable condition. Supervisor O. F. Ashburn, who has the supervision of the greater part of the road, put MT. Parker to work repairing the bad places, and his judgment has proved to be good Tn the selection of Mir. Parker for the work.
 All work so far performed has been of benefit to the travelling public and the cost of the work has been very little compared with the results obtained.
 It is to be hoped that the su- pervisors will see fit to keep Mir. Parker and his small crew at work on the road until it is again put in first class condition. Much money was spent by the county in building the Patagonia Nogales road and very little has been expended in it's upkeep. Now that work has started grad ing the hills and widening the curves, it is hoped that the en- tire thOroughfare will be repair ed before a halt is called. .-Pata- gOnian.
