5000 SHEEP AND 5000 CATTLE
TO CRAZE IN YUMA VALLEY

Thousands of dollars of easy money
will fill the pockets of Yuma Valley
farmers this winter through the ship
ment of sheep and cattle from other
parts of the southwest for grazing on
the rich grass lands of the Valley,
according to Joe Balsz of the Yuma
Wholesale Meat market.
Yuma farmers this winter will ag-
gregate at least 100000 through dis
posal of their surplus hay and grasses
by feeding this to sheep and cattle
which are being shipped here from
southeastern Arizona, New Mexico
and even as far as Sierra Blanca,
Texas.
More than 5000 sheep and be-
tween 1000 and 5000 head Of cattle
will fatten on Yuma Valley lands
this year, according to estimates fur
nished the Yuma Morning Sun. These
figures are far in excess of anv ship
ments in previous winter months.
Cattle and sheep men from eastern
parts of the southwest have come to
realize the Yuma country is the log
ical place to fatten and prepare their
stock for the Los Angeles market. At
ter the animals have been fattened
the haul to the stockyards on the coast
is so short that the stock are not af-
fected by the trip. They can be plac-
ed upon the market in first-class con-
dition and consequently command a
higher price.-Yuma Sun.

WIFE OF JUDGE KIBBEY
DIED THIS WEEK AT PHOENIX

Mrs. Nora Burbank Kibbey, wife Of
Judge Joseph H. Kibbey, died at her
home in Phoenix this week after an
illness of more than two years.
Mrs. Kibbey, the daughter of John
A. Burbank, an ex-governor of the
territory of Dakota, was born in Rich
mond, Ind. Her education was mainly
received in the schools OF Cincinnati
and Connecticut. In 1877 she married
Joseph H. Kibbey.
In 1888 Judge Kibbey became the
attorney for an Arizona canal com
pany. Mrs. Kibbey joined him at
Florence the following year with her
two children. Shortly after that her
husband was appointed justice of the
federal court in Arizona. This led her
later to become resident of Phoenix.
When in 1905 Judge Kibbey was
elected governor of the territory of
Arizona, Mrs. Kibbey, as first lady of
the state, had additional responsible
tiles laid upon her.
Mrs. Kibbey's place in the society
of Phoenix has been one of unques-
toned leadership. She has been for
many years the central figure Of a
group of the older residents and uni
versally loved member of that group.

DRY CHIEF CASSIDY
LAUGHS AT RUMORS

Prohibition Director Mike Cassidy is
in fighting mood.
He admits that he has heard of
strong efforts to unseat him, partly
political and partly from class re-
sentful of his efforts to mop up the
dampness that was too prevalent in
the state prior to his assumption of
office.
But he is not going to quit. He de-
clares that he will continue law en-
forcement to the very moment of his
departure from office for any cause.
He is especially well pleased with
the results of campaign just closed
around Prescott and Jerome.
Despite the fact that the Yavapai
sheriff, Geo. Ruffner, has shown him.
self notoriously in sympathy with the
vets of that county and has given the
government prohibition agents little
or no cooperation, we were able to
effectively break up the bootlegging
ring at Prescott" Director Cassidy
said. Against many of the defend
ants we have as many as five and
six charges.
"We have also filed IA abatement
suits to close up establishments were
liquor was being sold. These includ-
ed rooming houses and business
houses, garages and even blacksmith
shop. The department finds that this
is the most effective means for curb
ing the liquor evil. When we close
up mans place of business for a
year he is apt to be discouraged from
further trafficking."

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

The Boston wool market continues
to broaden, but the process is a slow
one. Efforts to lift prices little
meet with poor success, as some hold
ers are anxious to sell, and will ac-
cept such low prices that the whole
market is held down. Export business
is the best end of the market, with
further sales of all kinds of medium
and low wools, and secured Capes and
similar short clothing wools-any-
thing. in short, that can be sold in
Bradford or on the continent at better
prices than can be obtained here. Ca
madam buyers have been in the mar
ket recently and have taken consider
able wool of the cheaper and lower
grades. There has also been sud-
den increase in speculative buying
among dealers of medium and low
wools, of the grades most in demand
at the moment. Considerable inquiry
is still noted for wool and wool stock
for manufacturers turning out the
brushed wool sweaters, jersey cloths
and similar knit goods. Staple wo-
men's-wear goods are not doing so
well, it is reported, the trade running
more to novelties from year to year.
Domestic woods of the finer grades
are selling slowly, though Texas
twelve months woods have been moved
during the week in considerable vol
ume. These are mainly consigned
woods, and are claimed to have been
sold on the low edge of the market.
Australian markets continue firm,
with France the principal buyer, ia
pan buying moderately and America
very little.

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES
JAKE BRACKER, Editor

AS Saturday comes inevitably along
in its path of monotonous regularity,
not to say for few of us salariy hi
larity, Flagstaff's devotees of the
thing football are preparing to OBJ
serve the Mormons from st. Johns
combat with Stevenson's Lumberjacks
on normai's new stadium. The Nor
malites whipped the st. Johns eleven
last year by a heavy score, and it
rather looks like normal will repeat
despite the fact that Stevenson has
two boys on the casualty list. Rich
ards, sub-ineman, dislocated his col
lar bone during scrimmage practice
last week and is probably out for the
rest of the season. Booth, who par
ticipated in his initial game against
Williams, is suffering from minor
bruises and did not appear on the
field in uniform all last week. 1t is
reported, however, that he will be
able to start in tomorrow's game.
Mentor Stevenson is badly handi-
capped by lack of men this season, but
he is really developing an amazingly
well-balaneed aggregation. He has
made several changes in his lineup
and tomorrow, we honestly believe you

MANY CARS OF SHEEP GO
FROM HOLBROOK TRS YEAR

During the week the Apache Rail-
way company delivered 20 single-deck
cars of sheep to the Santa Fe at Hol-
brook. The shipment is being made
in the name of George Sawday, and
they are consigned to Temecula, Cal
ifornia.
The Santa Fe shipped, aside from
the above, So single-deck and one
double-deck cars to Nebraska points
during the week. The shipments are
being made by Marty and Leavitt.
There promises to be many large
shipments of sheep and stock yet this
season, as there are already 621 cars
engaged in Holbrook. There are 100
for the Apache Railway and 369 for
the Santa Fe yet to be heard from.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
MARKET REPORT
: s#**4*#+#*#+%@% :
October %. 1929.

Cattle receipts today were the larg-
est of any day in several weeks past,
but not excessive for this season of
the year. The increase over last Mon
day was caused by the arrival of ship
ments that had been delayed by the
recent heavy rains. Good cattle held
steady, and there was some weakness
in the medium, plain and common
kinds. Hogs were steady at slightly
lower, and the general market gave
evidence that the decline is about over.
Sheep and lambs were stronger.
Beef Cattle
The few good to choice steers offer
ed sold readily at steady prices, but
most other classes were off 10 to 10
cents, and exceptions down as much
as 25 cents. Liberal runs in Omaha,
Chicago and St. Louis added weakness
to the general market. There was a
stronger tone, however, to the east
eln beef market, and it is thought that
clearing weather will bring better de-
mand from all sections. The best
steers here brought S1025 to SLIPS.
Other fed steers sold at $500 to S9.75
and the extremes on grass fat steers

were quoted about steady. There was
some weakness in plain kinds and a
little better tone in Gamers" Bulls
were steady and veal calves weak.
Stockers and Feeders
Trade in stockers and feeders show
ed fairly large volume, but receipts
were liberal and prices were slightly
lower. AL kinds and classes were
available A good many good quality
Texas, Colorado and Wyoming cattle
were offered.
Sheep and Lambs
Sheep were steady and lambs
stronger. The geenral market gave
evidence of a good demand, but weak
prices elsewhere prevented an advance
here. Best western lambs sold at
$11.75 to $12.25, and native lambs
$11.50 to $1,000. Fat ewes brought
IS. to $5.75 and wethers $6.75 to
$3.50.
