REESE WELL QUALIFIED
FOR STATE LEGISLATURE

r.. M. Reese-his friends, and they
are many, all know him ats Rollie-.
was drafted by those same friends and
admirers in the last republican pri-
mary to represent this county in the
lower branch of the state legislature.
Someone started the movement almost
at the last minute and his name was
written in on the ballot by many vo-
ters both in Williams, his home town,
and also in Flagstaff.
Mr.. Reese had no hankering for po-
litical office. The nomination by his
friends was a surprise and something
of a shock to him. But they backed
up their vote by persuasion and that,
combined with the debt Mr.. Reese
feels that he owes this county, de-
cided him to get into the race,
He has prospered during his 25
years residence in this county. He has
strong sense of gratitude. This feel
ing of obligation to his home town and
county was the deciding factor in MAX
ing him stay put as candidate.
He was born in Missouri. After his
arrival in Williams he worked in var
ious mercantile establishments there
until 10 years ago, when he went into
business for himself. He made sue
cess of it.
He has been identified with all
moves for bettering conditions in his
home town and the county at large,
and has given generously of both time
and money. He has many and varied
business interests in this county and
expects to live here during the re-
mainder of his life, whether elected or
not. This business experience and his
close interest in public affairs and his
love for county and state, plus level
head, ripe judgment and ability to talk
well and to the point, especially fit
him for election to the office he seeks
and for filling it with credit and honor
to himself and the county.
Mr.. Reese has three children, all
born in this state. One is graduate
of the Arizona state university, one a
senior in Williams high school, on his
road to the university, and one, still
younger, is pegging away on his road
to both high school and university.

600 sheep week ago, and 25,100 cat
tie, 1926 hogs, and 1890 sheep a
year ago.
Beef Cattle
Trade in fat cattle was quiet with
prices about the same as last weeks
close. No market showed. any activity
and killers generally bought on limited
orders. Choice TO prime yearings and
handy weight steers were scarce and
sold as high as any time in the past
two weeks. Choice heavy fed steers
were scarce also, but they sold slowly.
Grass fat cattle comprised the bulk of
the run, and prices were the same as
late last week and slightly lower than
a week ago. Gamer" and cutter cows
were in active demand at strong
prices. Fat cows and heifers sold
readily at steady prices. The top for
veal calves was $40.
Stockers and Feeders
Less than the usual Monday activity
prevailed in the stocker and feeder di-
vision. Prices were quoted unchanged.
Feeder demand is dull owing TO the
prospects for small corn crop.
Sheep and Lambs
Trade in the sheep division was ac-
tive at steady prices. Most of the
western lambs sold at $1250 to $13;
and native lambs $12 to S12.50; fat
ewes are quoted at S4.5G to Sc, and
wethers at $3.50 to $3.50. Feeding
lambs ara cal1ino a+ S11 35 tn $40 25
and breeding ewes at $6.75 to $775.

slaughter of the Kaibab deer herd,
protected "for all times" in a game
refuge established by the late Theo-
dore Roosevelt, is contemplated in the
recommendations of the federal Kai-
bah deer committee made Tuesday to
Secretary OF Agriculture Wallace.
The committee recommends a re-

forest by so per cent. The reduction,

three possible ways, by shipping to

stocking of ranges; by opening the
game refuge to hunters under regu-
lations; by official killing of the deer
if necessary.
The reduction, it is proposed, win
