BOSTON WOOL MARK EFT

Business has continued somewhat
quiet in wool, but prices remain firm
for practically all grades While the
volume of wool moving is large, COM
pared with transactions during the
early spring and summer, moderate
let-up is noted compared with recent
heavy sales. :, Foreign wools have
been quiet but steady in price, the
principal demand recently coming
from worsted mills. Ohio wools have
had some call, and territories have
been in good demand The present
situation finds stocks of wools be-
coming scarcer, with little chance for
replacement for several months. Or
iginal lots of fairly new CLIPS have
been on the market. Top makers are
handling a fairly good business, but
experiencing difficulty in securing de-
sirable wools at prices to meet re-
quirements. Local dealers are scan
ming the primary markets to some
extent and placing some orders at
slightly stronger figures.

PIT. A. GRAND CANYON

According to word recently receiv-
ed by Mrs. S. G. Stephens, president
of the Grand Canyon Parent-Teachers
association, the board of managers at
their recent meeting in Tucson voted
to accept the invitation of the Grand
Canyon organization to hold at the
Canyon the annual state convention.
The exact date for the convention has
not yet been determined, but it will
probably be early in May and it will
be arranged so as to just proceed the
national convention which is to be
held next spring in California. Many
noted eastern speakers and educators
are scheduled to attend and deliver
addresses at the national meeting and
it is planned to make arrangements
whereby a number of these speakers
may stop off at the Canyon enroute
to California SO as to address the
Arizona state convention. 1t is ex-
pected that at least one hundred and
fifty delegates will be in attendance
at the state meeting and plans are al
ready under way toward making this
one of the largest and most interest
ing conventions in the history of the
state organization.

GRAND CANYON LEGION
ARMISTICE DAY SERVICE

eAs the means of observing Armis-
tice day, John Ivens post, American
Legion, Grand Canyon, took charge
of the community church services on
Sunday evening, November z. This
was done at the request of Pastor
r. o. Bates himself member of the
Legion.
The impressive service had a pat
riotic thread throughout. The cere-
mony was opened when the post coll
ors were brought into the hall escort
ed by a color guard, the audience
standing at attention. This was fol-
lowed by the singing of the national
anthem.
The post unveiled framed pic
ture of John Ivens. In the same
frame was the post charter and the
sofficiaI copy Of the citation of John
Ivens, who lost his life in action
while performing acts above the or
binary call of duty.
Comrade Emory Kolb gave a short
talk on John Ivens. He said that his
character while living at the canyon
can be summed up in the fact he was
known as Honest john" He also
read the record of his death, which
showed that while serving with Co.
c., 2nd f. S. B. Of the First diyision
he was engaged with several others
of his company in keeping open a
telephone line during q terrible gas
bombardment, and the burns received
resulted in his death "The character
of his service, and the extent Of his
sacrifice can be judged by merely
reading his citation" said Mr.. Kolb.
Mr.. Bates delivered a forceful SER
mon entitled, Winning the Peace. :"
He said, "As a sacred duty to your
dead buddies and those who are dis
abled, you should follow after the
things which make for peace. The
war has been won but it is also our
duty to see that we also win the
peace. This can be accomplished only
through the universal brotherhood of
man, which will be the outgrowth of
a strong christian training. We must
support the church as the sole means
of obtaining universal peace"
After singing America" the bene-
diction was given, and the audience
stood for a minute in silent prayer for
the heroic dead.

WINTER TERM SUPERIOR
COURT MAY NOT Be HELD
UNTIL AFTER JANUARY |

Judge ]. E. Jones will not call SUI
perior court in session on the 18th of
this month, as he had intended. The
jury drawn for the last session, in
September, is still subject to call
There are only three local criminal
cases-Charles Hall, colored, for
murder committed week before last
and two rape cases. So the Judge be-
lieves it is wiser to delay the next
term of court for month or so-per-
haps until after the first of the year.
Dut for our next term are nu-
merous remaining banking cases
brought here on change of venue from
Yavapai county. There remain many
indictments against Paul H. Deming,
cashier of the defunct Bank of Jer-
ONE, and against four other former
officials of that bank and the two al
lied Prescott banks, all of which
failed last November. The more than
30 indictments against c.. H. Hind
erer, former vice-president and cash
ier of the Prescott State bank have
been dismissed at request of the pros
ecution, it is believed partly to make
Hinderer more available as a witness.
Deming was acquitted in two trials
during the last court term, but it is
believed he will be tried on some of
the remaining indictments; also that
trials will be had of r. n Freder-
icks, president of the Prescott State
bank and the Bank of Jerome and
vice-president of the Commercial
Trust and Savings bank; Morris
Goldwater, president Of the last
named bank and vice-president Of the
Prescott State bank, and T. G. Nor
ris, director.
Judge Jones says that these bank
cases will be placed at the foot of the
calendar for the next term so that he
may first dispose of whatever. local
cases may come up. He has received
no word from the Yavapai county
attorney indicating desire to have
the remaining bank cases brought to
an early trial, and believes postpone
ment few weeks will not cause dis
satisfaction.

cne buckskin colored horse, nine years
old, branded I'll right thigh, 1850
pounds weight; one bay horse, four
years old, branded La on left thigh,

visitor day before yesterday.
1t is as dry as ever all over the
forest, or worse. The men working
on drift fences report that working
the baked malpais clay is like trying
to dig holes in solid limestone; in
fact it is almost impossible to tell
when they are in rock or earth. Wa
terholes are now dry which have not
been for 20 years, and many wells on
the south end have failed.
Early one morning this week the
proprietor of Dunnam's campground,
just west of town, hurried in and tel
ephoned the supervisor that there
was a big fire in his neighborhood.
Ranger Linn and Fire Guard Rice
hurried to the scene and Ranger Old
ham started anxiously in from Dead
man Flat. To the relief and amuse-
ment of all, it turned out that what
appeared to be dangerous situation
had been caused by the settling down
of smoke from the A. L. & t. Co.
mill, mingled with the campers fires
at the campground, the whole light
ed up by the morning sun and lifted
by a rising breeze. On the way back
from the woods, Messrs. Linn and

been left, and put it out, though at
the time it was doing no particular
harm.
