TRAVELLING LIBRARY BEING STARTED

Miss Helen l.. Brown. county school superintendent, today announced that the travelling library, the preparation of which has been under way for some time. is now ready 10 be pu, into circulation among the schools of COchise county
 Each school contributed 10 the fund for this library. inasmuch as there existed no fund for this purpose. Four Der cent of the sum allotted each school has been put aside for financ- ing the library. each school contrib uting about s45.
 The plan of this library is a very comm erdable one. and this fact is more thoroughly impressed by an ex- am ination Of the books that go into tie makeup of the big boxes. 36 in number, which constitute the library.
 Among the volumes will be found books on general fiction. Bible study. science. nature study. art, poetry, travel. folk lore, fairy tales. biogra- phy. geography. children's classics and many other enlishtening and ed ucarins subjects.
 Under this plan schools which heretofore could not afford such an extensive assortment of literature can be supplied. as each box contains books on different subjects and. after remaining for about two months in one school. is replaced by another. containing an entirely different as sortment of literature.
 The teachers in the various schools will act as librarians and they will be responsible for the proper care and issuance of these books
 By the end of this week the entire lot Of 36 boxes will haysabeen dis tributed. and Cochise county will have in circulation one of the best travelling libraries in the southwest.

CATTLE MARKET MOST
 UNSTEADY OF MANY YEARS

PHOENIX. Dec. 4.-Cattlemen of Arizona are experiencing the most un- settled market condition of cattle markets that have been known for
 many years back. This uncertainty of markets and market prices for cat tie coming from feed lots and ranges of our state seem due to the present invariable condition of the Los An geles stock yards.
 The Union Stock Yards in Los An geles are the direct cause for the holding back of several cattle buyers who heretofore have worked thru out this state and as a result not nearly as many cattle have moved from the ranges as in years back Since the opening of the stock yard. November l hundreds of head of cat. He have moved into Los Angeles from Texas. New Mexico. Colorado. T,ah. Wyoming. Idaho and Montana Hat have formally gone to eastern pens. These cattle are tirown on ;Ee open market in the coast city and in many instances have sol for great sacrifice. being urab!a to move elsewhere. This condition. added t1 .itat of holding back buyers from ad- j' cent states 70 California, has result e. in fewer cat,l4 being 90 through cut Arizona for several seasons pre- Nicus
 + is & deplorahle con litiur and cat tlemen not onl- in California, but cSev the ranges of Arizona arr. 'celiag the heavy effects of the depressed conditions. The stock yards thus far are proving no salvation whatsoever to the cattlemen of this state and it will be interesting to watch the pro. sress Uf tine yards upon -he ca--ie in- dustry of the entire southwest.
 From feeder standpoint which is the bulk Of cattle Arizona supplies to CalifOrnia-the stock yards so far prove Of no value whatsoever and in the same respect are depressing con ditiors materially

Who Knows?

There has been a consistent ru- mor during the past few weeks. that Mayo Brothers. world-famed sur geons and headers of human ills, are contemplating the erection of a modern sanatariUm in this district. According to the rumor. representa-. tiyes of this famous institution spent several days in this city some time ago. and their report as to the local situation was favorable.
 That Tombstone possesses the climatic conditions suitable for an enterprise of this nature. is wide ly known fact, and it is understood that Mayo Brothers hove contem- plated an investigation for several years past. even before the World War.
 Every year thousands of patients flock to Mayo Brothers. suffering from ailments that can be benefit ted, if not completely cured. by the wonderful climate that is Tomb stones most widely recognized and heretofore somewhat ignored natur- al resource.
 The report Of the investigation by representatives of Mayo Brothers may we'll be taken as a foreword that Tombstone's invigorating and unexcelled all-year-'round climate will be made a boon to hundreds If net thousands Of ailing people.

Active Democrat

Major Kelly, dean Of Arizona news paper men. in an interview yesterday morning. briefly outlined some Of his ambitions should he accept the ap- pointment as historian, which was confirmed today He said that in his opinion one Of the greatest works that could be accomplished by a his torian at this time was the gathering together of all information about min ing development in this state from the pioneer days The old pioneers. who fathered the initial work, are fast passing and within the years to come il will be impossible to get first hand data on those historic days Of the trail blazers of the great south west,
 Major Kelly intimated one of the things he hoped to accomplish would be the writing of q history of mining development in Arizona. taking the story from the first prospector to its present gigantic proportions He also hopes. he said. to gather much information into volume form upon the legends of Arizona, together with much other historical matter he has in mind

BUILDING ACTIVITY; A SANiTARluM?

The song of the hammer and saw. and the 'chug-chug" Of the concrete mixer is heard in all parts of Tomb stone today. with more building un- der way than at any one time in many years
 The building bug has moved to Tombstone. bag and baggage: car penters are wearing out their ham, mers and concrete workers are mix. ing and laying cement with all pos sible speed.
 Tombstone will soon be entitled to avow the possession of more con crete sidewalk footage than any city it's size in the Southwest.
 The paving of Allen street will soon be completed. adding much to the appearance of the main busi- ness thorocghfare. and to the com. fort of the citizens of the city.
 Coupled with this activity is the construction work on the new Tombstone Union High School build. ing. which preliminary work is fast nearing completion and the walls will soon be mounting skyward
 On every hand Improvements on residential as well as business prop erty is being executed. In other words the city is undergoing a wide spread revampine.
 Residents whose home sites were taken over by the Board of Educa- tion Of the Tombstone High School District. to make room for the new SS0.G0U building. will soon be erect ing homes on other locations.
 Bradford Brandt has contracted for the erection Of home on the lots south ot the Brandt residence om Second ette-t. between Bruce and Fremont. the contractors at present laying the foundations for the new structure.
 In all this activity. the erection Of new houses or the repairing of old ones. to be rented to families who desire to move 10 the city in order that their children may take advan- tage of the educational facilities of the Union High School has been neglected. for as fast as house is prepared to accommodate q family. il is immediately grabbed. and the appeals of homeseekers continue to be met with "quien sabe" shrug Of the shoulders.

 The body was lying in few fee, of water. plainly visible to a party oi stearchers who came down from Miami yesterday to resume the search that started two weeks ago.
 The water had been shut off at the power house Saturday. due to the heavy rains in that section. and the only water in the river was the nat. ural flow caused by the rainfall. The shallow water made it possible for the searchers to see the body in the stream
 Merritt, who was employed as per sonal chauffeur to F. ". McLennan. manager of the Miami mine, and three other men were hunting ducks along the Salt river two weeks ago yesterday and Merritt, not finding the hunting to his liking. walked down stream When he failed to return later in the evening. his companions instituted search and found foot. prints where he walked into the water near Horseshoe Bend. His companions were unable to find any indication that he came out Of the water and concluded that he had been swept downstream
 The Miami and inspiration Copper companies and the Water Users as- sociation sent searching parties to the spot where he was believed 10
  have been drowned and they covered the stream for several miles, but, found no trace Of the body. Tine Water Users did not want to shut oil the water al the power house at a great expense unless Merritt's com panions were positive that he had been drowned The search continued for several days and was finally abandoned until the ninth day. when i, was supposed the body would come to the surface. On the ninth day the search was resumed. but without re. suit. The father Of Merritt. who had come from the east on being notified .oi the accident. accompanied the wid ow and 6 searching party 10 the river last week and finding no trace of the body. refused to abandon the search.
 Yesterday morning another search ing party was organized at Miami after being notified that the water was shut off at the power house The searchers separated below the dam and started q thorough search of the river bed. They were surprised to see the body few feet under water with. in a stones throw of the spot where they found Merritt's footsteps leading into the stream two weeks ago.
 Nerritts companions believe that ne started across the river to shoot ducks. and the cold water caused cramps and the unfortunate man col lapsed in midstream. The body float eG some fifty feet to small eddy in the sand. where it remained until found yesterday
 Undertaken Miles Of Miami and the coroner were notified and the body was removed to Miami last night.
 The deceased is survived by a wid- ow and small daughter and the father who recently came from his home in the east
