COWMEN MAY DRIVE
STOCK TO MARKET

If by chance railroads are success
ful in their efforts to secure author
ization for greatly increased tariff
rates on livestock shipments, there is
strong possibility that the cattle
men of Arizona may be forced to
adopt measure brought into use in
the early days, that of driving their
livestock to the markets of Los Ang
eles and Ell Paso on the hoof, accord
ing to statement made today by
Joseph NJ Ronstadt, treasurer. of the
Arizona Cattle Growers association.
This expediency, Mr.. Ronstadt
pointed out, was resorted to several
years ago by the Empire Land and
Cattle company, whose range is in the
Greaterville district, which, because
Of exorbitant livestock transportation
charges, found it cheaper to trail
their cattle overland to market.

STATE PASSENGER FARES
ORDERED CUT SATURDAY

Official notice that the railroads op-
Grating through and in Arizona have
been given until Saturday to put into
effect the new 3.6 cents per mile pas
senger fare rate on interstate travel
and until April 28, on through travel
was given the state corporation COM
mission this week by the interstate
commerce commission.
Through the notice made no direct
reference to the action taken by the
interstate commerce commission on
the application of the railroads for a
rehearing of the case. state corpora
ton commissioners read in the order
the inference that the application had
been denied. The order stated that
the complaint Of the railroads against
the new rate was not specific and
therefore would not be considered.
Travel in Arizona or from Arizona
to New Mexico points will be charged
on the basis of the new lower date be-
ginning Saturday, according to the
order. Railroads are given until
April 28 to publish their rate sched-
ule ON through travel and are in
structed to make such publications
without delay and as soon before
April 28 as possible. Under the ar
rangement that will exist until April
28, the rate from Phoenix to FL Paso
will remain unchanged but the fare
between Phoenix and the last station
in New Mexico before reaching Ell
Paso will be charged ON the basis of
the reduced rate Rates from Phoe-
nix to Los Angeles will remain un-
changed until April 28, but the fare
between Phoenix and Yuma will be
lower.

"TRADE AT HOME-USE
ARIZONA PRODUCTS" ASKS
GOVERNOR G. W. P. HUNT

Citizens of Arizona were urged to
heartily support "Trade at Home-Use
Arizona Products" week, to be held
March II to %, in statement issued
by Governor George w. p. Hunt. Gov
ernor Hunt briefly called attention to
the advantages to be derived by every
citizen from general policy of keep
ing arizona business at home, and ex-
pressed the hope that during TRADE
at Home" week the people would fam
iliarize themselves with the products
of their communities and state SO that
they could follow the "Trade at Home
Use Arizona Products" principle
throughout the year. His statement
follows:
''I want to take this occasion to urge
both personally and officially that the
citizens of Arizona heartily support
"Trade at Home-Use Arizona Prod
ucts" week which is sponsored by the
Arizona Industrial congress and the
various chambers of commerce and
other organizations throughout the
state.
esA little investigation will indicate
the wide diversity of products grown,
produced and manufactured IN Arl-
zona, and support Of home industry
will tend to develop and enlarge our
home industries in manner which
will give them the opportunity to ex-
pand.
"The development of Arizona in
dustries and the creation of new in
dustries are the only means by which
Tightening of the tax burden can be
assured.
II trust that the citizens of Arizo-
ma will take the opportunity during
the week of March IL to %, inclusive,
to ascertain the various products pro-
duced in this state and familiarize
themselves with them so that during
the remainder of the year when oc-
casion arises and it is found necessary
to purchase supplies, Arizona products
will be given preference"

FRUIT TREES ARE NOW In
BLOOM IN VERDE VALLEY

Signs of spring are clearly to be
seen in the Verde Valley these days
and in the Mayer and Henrietta dis
tricts as we'll, for early fruits aready
are in blossom there.
AS result Of recent warm spell
the fruit trees budded several weeks
ago and now many of them are ir
full bloom. This will mean an early
crop of fruit for Yavapai county un-
less heavy frost visits this district
and destroys the buds. In Mayer, one
enterprising fruit grower already has
started smudges burning on cold
nights. Apple raisers in the Fair Oaks
country make a practice of smudging
during the early spring and have lost
no crops within the last several years.

 "Whenever the wage system herein outlined is satisfactorily in operation, no paid prisoner shall be allowed to make purchases with money received from outside sources that paid prison CT shall be allowed to make purchases out of their earnings from the indus tries subject to the limitations fixed by the prison industries and parole board.
 "A salient feature of the plan is the possibility of the prisoner contrib uting towards the support of his fam lily out of his earnings while he is confined in prison. The prisoner will have a chance to work for produc- ton, the profits of which he may share and accumulate while his industry will be credited to him towards his ultimate release on parole"
 The bill IS now in committee, but will be speedily reported and passed in the Senate. The Republican leaders have not yet indicated their attitude.
