Cotton Men Need
Fight Quarantine

= YUMA-With hearing pending at
Washington on June l as to quar-
antine regulations against Arizona
cotton, the state entomologist is
trying to get the farm bureau and
cotton interests, growers, ginners,
and mill men, to send representa-
tives from the various cotton grow
ing district of Arizona to the hear
ing, Agricultural Agent S. L. Owen
advised this week. He considers
it very advisable that Yuma cotton
interests consider the situation and
that if they wish to do so send rem
resentatives to the hearing at
Washington.
The call for the hearing leaves
it open to Arizona to avert the
quarantine of any but the wild boil
weevil infested districts in Pima
county by providing assurance that
state will take charge of the pre-
vention of cotton from leaving in
tested districts, but this will have
to be satisfactorily stated at Wash
lngton together with facts as to
the freedom of other districts from
infestation. Marketing of the entire
crop of the state will otherwise be
involved.

Find Canal System
OF Ancient Race

TUCSON-A survey of the an
cient canal system of the prehis-
toric pueblo peoples who inhabited
the Gila River valley is being car
ried out at the present time by

logist of the state museum, assist

old bitches has been surveyed. AS
the work continues the workers
will go over the entire area-that

Date OF Highway
Celebration Changed

SPRINGERVILLE--Unusualw wea-
ther and a late spring here as else
where throughout the country were
reasons given for changing the
date of the opening celebration of
the Clifton-Springerville highway
from May 30-31 to June 1920, when
the executive committee of that
highway association met in Spring
eryille, on Saturday. Action was
taken after the various working
committees had reported, the mo-
ton being made by Gustay Becker
and seconded by Connor Trammell,
both of Springerville. The vote was
unanimous.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that the committee had held off un-
til now in making it's decision hop
ing that weather conditions would
be such as to forecast suitable wea-
ther May 30-31 so that the fiesta
could be given on the days decid =
ed upon last winter. Four feet of
snow was reported on the Blue
range, at and in the vicinity of
Hannagan's Meadows, where the
celebration commemOrating the op-
ening of this million dollar high
way through the Apache national
forest will be held and the road
dedicated as "The Coronado Trail. !"
Mr.. Becker and others who have
lived in this region for forty or
fifty years, said that never before
in their recollection had there been
such a severe winter and late
spring, but however, carried with
them unprecedented advantages to
stock and agriculture.
The spirit of thanksgiving pre-
vailed at the meeting, despite the
disappointment of having to put
the date of the celebration ahead
three weeks. Mayor Peter Riley
of Clifton, president of the associa-
ton, said that the various working
units had done their work so
thoroughly that the mere matter
of changing the date would take
nothing from the celebration which
he felt sure would be a success of
such a far reaching nature as to
cast luster over the entire state
of Arizona and the United States
forest service, both of which he
said had given their generous sup
port to the counties of Apache and
Greenlee in prompting the celebra-
ton.
The executive committee adjourn
ed to meet June at Hannagan's S
Meadows and make final arrange
mentS for the fiesta.

PHOENIX DEPUTY MAKES
RECORD SNAKE KILLING


PHOENIX-Deputy Sheriff Carl
Rosseau is celebrating the killing
of his thousandth rattlesnake. AS
a small lad, Carl, developed a
hatred toward rattlers after seeing
some of the horrible death which
the poisonous reptiles brought to
settlers of this country in the early
days, and he decided then to go
to war on the deadly wrigglers and
see how many he could bring to an
untimely death.
In a small day book which he
carries, Carl can now account for
killing 1000 rattlesnakes, the even
thousand being scored one day last
week when he killed two rattlers
within a miles distance near Frog
Tanks on the Aqua Fria river. One
of the two snakes had the most
perfect set of rattles he has col
lected in the 1000 reptiles he has
killed, Carl says. The snake had
II rattles not over an inch in
length, extra smooth and we'll pre-
served and tapering to a graceful
point. AS a rule, such a number
of rattles will measure more than
two inches in length and seldom
are all the rattles in good condi-
tion, several being broken.

the theft of approximately 250 head
of cattle, returned a verdict OF

promptly to realize top values. The
market closed easy today at 27Ka29

CANADA WEATHER

Price Closes Virtually at Top

BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 24.-Prospects of a

about sudden upturn in wheat wales

were strong ~ to 1R cents net high
er, corn 1h tos1h up, oats at u to

Wheat finished virtually at the days
top level. In addition to fears of
crop damage in Canada, reports were
current that big chartering of vessel
room for wheat was in progress at
the Gulf Of Mexico. Under such CIR
cumstances the market rose rapidly
in the late dealings, having apparent
ly become oversold during the first
part OF the day. An exaggerated re-
port of increase Of wheat stocks at
Kansas City had a good deal to do
with causing sellers to put themselves
in false position. Early advices said
that since Monday there had been
2,2S1 900 bushels enlargement OF the
amount of wheat on hand In Kansas
City, but later this was corrected to
1881 900 increase.
