BOSTON WOOL MARKET

Boston reports very quiet demand
for wool, with prices for the moment
stabilized. Mill buying is in small
lots as the wool is needed, and prompt
shipment is called for in nearly all
cases. Forced liquidation is not so
much in evidence as heretofore, but
the situation is by no means normal
Desultory contracting and buying is
going on in the west, but growers are
standing out for prices that would al
low buyers little or no margin of
profit in an early turnover. Such
Australian markets as are still open
are holding up well, and this is the
strongest feature in sight. Bradford
reports good demand for tops, and
this is reflected in good buying of
wool in Sydney and Brisbane. Ameri-
ca is buying very little in either mar
ket, but England and Germany and
Japan are operating more freely as
the season draws near the close. Con-
ditions in the goods market are still
unsatisfactory, but May is expected
to bring a better demand for goods,
and later for wool also. Encouraging
returns are hoped for from the travel

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
MARKET REPORT

Kansas City, April 26.-Cattle
feeders instead of holding away from
Chicago after the sharp declines there
last week swamped that market today
with $4,000 cattle, the largest supply
this season. Prices there broke an
other 25 to 40 cents. Here the decline
was Is to 25 cents leaving prices
about the same as Wednesday but
higher than week ago. Hog prices
were 10 to 25 cents lower than the
extreme high point last week. Fed
sheep and lambs held steady but an
advance carried lambs into a new high
position for the year.
Beef Cattle
Some choice yearlings and light
weight steers sold today at 1886 to
$40, and heavy weight steers up to
$3.50. The bulk of the good steers
brought $8.75 to 1925 and plain to
fair steers So to $3.50. The general
market was quoted 15 to 25 cents
lower than last weeks close. As soon
as the decline was established trade
became fairly active. There was no
congestion on the market. Prices
here are relatively higher than in
Chicago and the tone in the trade is
materially better. Cows and heifers
were weak to 25 cents lower, excep-
tions on limited sales steady. The
decline in fat steers forced the break
in female cattle. Choice cows sold
at 81 to $3.50 and choice heifers up to
1925. Some mixed yearlings brought
SO to, $3.50. Veal calves were weak
to so cents lower, best light weights

ARIZON'S GASOLINE
TAX CALLED UNJUST

According to the state highway de-
partment, Arizona is losing Is pei
cent of its proper gasoline tax income
through exemptions designed to ia
vor motor driven implements used in
agriculture.
Farmers are said to be buying tax
exempt fuel for their automobiles. 1t
is said, also, that operators of trucks
and other heavy vehicles on the high
ways are receiving exemption from
the Scent tax, for no reason what
ever.
1t is suggested that sworn proof be
demanded by the secretary of state
before any exemption be given. Ar
attack on all exemptions is to be made
in the next legislature. The present
system is declared unjust to the aver
age motor car owner.

MOTION TO DISMISS BIGAMY
CHARGES AT YUMA OVERRULED

Efforts of counsel in superior court
at Yuma to have the bigamy charge
against William Judson johnson of
Newking mine in Yuma county dis
missed met with failure when Judge
Dudley Windes of Maricopa county,
presiding in the case, dismissed the
contention as untenable that bigamy
can exist in this state only when the
bigamous marriage is consummated
within the state.
Judge Wi>les was brought into the
case when affidavits of bias and
prejudice were filed against Judge
Fred L. Ingraham.
The Johnsons' domestic troubles
have been in the legal limelight for
more than a year. Divorce proceed
ings, instituted by alleged wife No. 1,
are pending against Johnson.

BOY SCOUTS

Last Saturday morning, the Boy
Scouts did their good turn for the
week by cleaning up the grounds
around the Woman's clubhouse, in
preparation for cleanup week, this
week. From all that can be seen SO
far, there will be good deal of trash
collected and good many yards will
seem more inviting than before the
campaign started. At least we know
that wherever there is a scout in
Flagstaff, there will be a clean yard
at that place.

IN MEMORY OF
DECKER WILLIAMS
BY Mrs. r. L. Davis, Central City, KY.

Our dear one has gone to a house up
above
To dwell in the house with Jesus and
love.
There is no other place that's SO hap
py and sweet,
And there we trust that we all will
meet.
We will miss you, dear one, we will
miss you,
For we know you have gone on to
stay;
But we feel you have only gone on
to show US the way;
And as God is our Maker and knows
all things well,
We will all try to meet you up there
where you dwell.

Flagstaff scouts will hold their
first Field day tomorrow at City park.
This is an idea suggested and being
worked out by Executive Waldraven,
to give every scout a chance every
two weeks to pass outdoor tests, such
as cooking, tracking, pace, fire-build-
ing, first-class cooking.
1t is hoped, and headquarters feels
sure, this method will be responsible
for many more scouts passing tests
and advancing in rank than in the
past.
Flagstaff scoutmastets will be on
hand to help with the different tests
and from nine-thirty until evening all
scouts wishing to pass any of these
tests have the chance.
So don't forget, scouts! Show up
some time tomorrow to pass any and
all outdoor tests you can, and let's
make this real day. for scouting in
Flagstaff.
