INTERSTATE COMMISSION
R. R. RATES ON CATTLE
TO NORTHWEST LOWER

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has handed down decision in fa-
vor of the Arizona Cattle Covers as
sociation that railroad rates on raj ~
cattle from Arizona points to north
western states will be reduced. The
date of the change is set for May TO-
1923.
Traffic attorneys for the Arizona
Cattle Growers association went be-
for the Interstate Commerce commits
sion on January "a, 1928, and con-
vincingly proved to the commission
that existing rates on range cattle in
to the states of Nevada, Utah, Wyom-
ing, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and
Washington via the Salt Lake line
from Arizona points were prohibitive
and caused the loss of former sales OF
Arizona cattle to buyers in these
states.
A few years ago over 50 per cent of
the spring cattle sales were made to
range men of these northwest states.
These buyers once looked upon Arizo-
ma as the breeding country for their
range herds and came in the spring
of each year, buying trainloads of
young cattle and taking them into the
northwest country. During the high
price period the freight rates scared
beyond the possibility of these north
ern buyers to so continue coming into
Arizona for stockers and feeders. AS
a result less than 10 per cent of Ari-
zona spring cattle movements now GO
into those states.
The only route left possible for
The Coconino sun., 1923-03-30

gett--a much closer route-was 1857.
After May 10 the story will be diff
ferent and much to the benefit of Ari-
zona cattlemen and the northwestern
buyers, for the COW man of this state
can now look forward to building up
our past good trade with the men of
the northwest country.
Here is the rate that will be in eff
feet soon as compared to the present
prohibitive tariff that has stopped the
northwest trade.
AS stated above, from such point
as Phoenix to Butte, the distance is
1898 miles by way of Daggett Gate
way. The new rate effective after
May 10 of this year for that distance,
will be $204 per 36-ft. car, or an act
ual reduction of $152, from the pres
ent rate through Daggett, and an act
ual reduction of $151 even by way of
Denver. There is proportionate re-
duction from all points in Arizona to
all points in the state listed above.
From Ashfork to Butte the distance
via Denver is 1910 miles or $290.50
per car, and only 1896 miles via Dag
gett, and the rate with be $204, where
as the present rate through Daggett
to Butte is $355.
From Tucson to Butte via Denver,
the distance is 2,015 miles at rate
of $258.50 per car. The newly estab,
Iished rate will be via Daggett, a dis
tance of 1919 miles at 1892, as
against $409.50, which is the present
rate through Daggett from Tucson.
Once this big question was laid be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission by capable traffic attorneys
it took the commission but few days
to hand down their decision in favor
of the Arizona Cattle Growers asso-
citation, and to cause the order to be
issued that reduced rates would be
put into effect. 1t is indeed crafty
ing to the traffic department and the
officers Of the association to learn of
this big victory in the fight for at
tractive rates to northern states.
The Coconino sun., 1923-03-30

even this 10 per Cent movement was
through Denver and here is where one
big hitch came. Immediately, in such
travel through Denver, our Arizona
cattle had to compete against cattle
from New Mexico and Texas, going
also to northwest ranges.
The Arizona Cattle Growers asso-
citation in the case contended that
Arizona cattle should not have to GO
through Denver to reach Wyoming
Montana, Utah, Idaho and other
states, and thus compete against
states much closer to Denver than
Arizona herself. The relief was seen
for Arizona by getting an established
rate over both the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe roads into Dagget, Cal
iforniay at which point the Santa Fe
line crosses the Salt Lake line. This
route was termed the Daggett Gate
way, and is now so established. 1t
means, for example, range cattle at
any point in Arizona, sold to a buyer,
say at Butte, Montana, instead of be-
ing routed through Denver, will af-
ter May 10, 1928, travel west to Dag
gett and thence through Salt Lake
and on into Butte, at a very much re-
duced freight rate.
From Phoenix, Arizona, to Butte
Montana, by way of Denver, is 1904
miles, while going via Daggett and
Salt Lake is but 1898 miles, or SOC
miles less by this western gateway
The present rate for that run via
Denver is S305 per Soft car, while the
rate for the same car through Dag

The Coconino sun., 1923-03-30

Many cattlemen at the recent con-
yention of the Arizona Cattle Grow
ers' association, held in Phoenix on
March and I, heard in President
Henry G. Boice's address the need of
these very rate reductions, and that
the association soon expected to hear
favorably the commissions decision of
the case.
This is their decision and it seems
apparent now that Arizona can bring
back that trading of SO per cent or
more of her range cattle in the spring
of the year to northwest buyers, and
re-establish market in those six
northern states, which is an important
outlet for Arizona bred cattle.

INDIAN Chief WILL
SEE SHELBY BATTLE

SHELBY, Mont, June 11.-Sixty
miles west Of here. at Browning.
Mont, is the United States agency
for the Blackfoot Indian reservation.
The reservation extends back into
Glacier National Park. but the head
quarters *are at Browning. On this
reservation reside 5000 Blackfeet..
the remainder of a tribe that once
roamed the Montana, Wyoming and
Utah prairies.
Presiding over the crowd Is Noun
tain Chief, eighty-six-year-old griz-
zled buck, who despite his many
years under the guidance and care of
Uncle Sam, can't speak a word of
English.
In his day Mountain Chief was some
bitttler, although he boasts proudly
that he never lifted his rifle against
la white man.
Through the aid of an interpreter,
Louis Monroe. he was presented with
a ringside ticket for the Dempsey
Gibbons championship fight here July
4. by Eddie Kane, manager of Glib
bons: Mountain Chief grunted his
thanks: And when the meaning of
the ticket was relayed to him by the
interpreter, Mountain Chief, who had
decked himself out in all his war
time finery for the visitors, went into
a war dance. He whipped out a mur-
derous looking knife, which has
touched many a scalp, and sounded
his battle cry.
Three of his squaws came running
from his cabin, thinking that the old
boy was going out once more after
the Crows, and Crees, his ancient
enemies.
From Mountain Chiefs feathered
headgear dropped a broken feather.
Asked the reason through an inter
prefer he replied that a Cree rifle
bullet had done that damage In bat
tie, but that his band annihilated $50
OF the enemy in the encounter fol-
lowing.
The chief has never seen a white
mans fight, but he's going to be here

.FIRPO STOPS HERMAN
IN The SECOND ROUND

HAVANA, June 11.-Luis Angel
Firpo. Argentine aspirant to cham

trouble In disposing of italian Jack
Herman of New York here yester-
day afternoon.
Firpo, outweighing his opponent by

was to have gone fifteen rounds, but
was over in three minutes and nine

Herman was game, but could not
withstand the punishment in the Ar

that Firpo did not extend himself.
Firpo sailed today on the steamship

EXPECTS BIG FIGHT
TO DRAW 81 100000

SHELBY, Mont.s June 11.-W- D. Ran
kin, attorney general of the state of
Montana and n brother Of Miss Jean
nctte Rankin, the first woman sent
to Congress, is in Shelby inspecting
the oil fields and checking up the
moral conditions of town. While he
has not been in Shelby long enough
to form a final opinion, he evidently
was we'll pleased with the way in
which the local authorities are ham
ding the situation. He expects to
leave on Tuesday and may give out
a statement at that time.
Promoter Mike Collins said that the
present indications were that the seat
sale would reach the S1.000,000 mark
by July l. He pointed out, however.
that there were still thousands of
seats available and that these in
cluded everye class from ringside to
general admission.
Evening star., 1923-06-11

He could have helped himself
greatly either by staying here and
going with Jimmy or else taking the
boxing coach on his trip. But that
Is one thing that Firpo hates to let
get away from him 1t is the coin OF
the realm.
Men in this city who know Ffrpo
say he holds Willard pretty cheapiy.
Willard's actions suggest he has a
similar opinion of his forthcoming
opponent. What happens when two
men meet who feel the same way one
about the other? 1t will be interest
ing to see.
Gibbons FOOtwOrk Impresses.
In the meantime, a phase of the
coming Dempsey Gibbons battle at
Shelby is the willingness OF western
bettors to take chances upon the St.
Paul scrapper at reasonable odds.
They are impressed by Gibbons foot
work and cleverness plus his ability
to sock a fearful wallop with his
right. 1t is figured that Dempsey
Will flop as quickly as the next man
If he gets 1t on the button.
Not a great deal has been eaid
about that punch which Dempsey re-
ceived on the jaw in the second round
of his fight with Carpenter, but observ-
ers of fighting know that Jack Kearns
did not pull the good old smelling salts
from his hip pocket just for fun.
AS a matter of fact Jacks eyes were
CLASSY after that wallop and his legs
sagged, just as Gibbons said they
did. It is the plain truth. For a.
fleeting second or two the writer,
who sat mediately below Dempsey
at the ringside in Jersey City, fully
expected to see him sink to the floor
after another hard blow. He had a
bad look. And he would have gone
down. too. had Carpenter not thrown
in his following punches wildly In
stead of measuring his man. Glib
bons can hit as hard as Carpenter,
probably harder, and if he should hap
pen to jar Dempsey with a wa1lop. ono
may be sure he will have a hefty
follow-up to shoot in.
Cut Over Eye Worries Jack.
The cut over Dempsey's eye which
was opened in a collision with a spar
ring partner the other day, has wor-
ried Jack and his handlers. If IL
were cut in a fight he would have a
bad time because of the flow of blood
shutting off his vision. Again, Jack
has not fought since July 1921, and
| two years are long time for d
champion to be idle. No one can
! tell just how the period Of idleness
| will affect him in the coming battle.
! One thing is certain, it hasn't done
| him any good.
All these factors are taken into
| reckoning by men who like short
| betting activity that has been noted the
past week.
