ANNUAL PARTY
AT THE CURI0
DISCONTINUED

Just what the kiddies of Aqua Prieta
are to do for their Christmas this year
has become a problem. With the an
nouncement late yesterday by Mrs.
Alice Gatliff, proprietress Of the Curio
cafe, that she would be unable to un-
dertake the annual Christmas treat
this year dismay was spread among
the youngsters.
For a number OF years past Mrs.
Gatliff has held a Christmas party at
the Curio for all Of the poor children
of the city of Aqua Prieta. Gifts for
each child have been distributed and
candy, fruit and other goodies handed
cut.
Christmas in Aqua Prieta, to most
of the poorer children, means only an
other day without the party at the
Curio. It means a day on which many
Americans come to the cafes of the
city, well dressed and cheerful and
partaking of many good foods but with
out the annual party it does not mean
tinsel and toys and candy to the little
MexicanS.
In years past prominent Douglas
men have contributed to the party at
the Curio and have thus aided Mrs.
Gatliff in an undertaking which had
demanded several days of hard work
and large expenditure of money. It
is expected that some agency will take
up the burden and see that the spirit
of the season is extended throughout
Aqua Prieta. At any rae, it is point
ed out by citizens of Aqua Prieta no
one can feel that. Mrs Gatliff has not
done her part and that it is time
someone else assisted at the task.

IS
FOUND GUILTY
OF |. A. MURDER

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 81 tR-Elmer
Norman Baker, a member of a prom
inent Nantucket, Mass. family, accus-
ed of having killed q confederate in
holdup, was convicted of murder and
attempted robbery here today, the YER
dict carrying a recommendation of life
Imprisonment,
Under California law, the sentence
to life Imprisonment is obligatory as
a result of the jury's recommendation
The formal sentencing of Baker was
set for Saturday morning.
The murder charge against Baker
grew out of the Staying of Paul Cot
ham, who was shot while attempting
to rob Mike Trefoni, shoemaker.
Trefoni grappled with Gotham, and
witnesses said, confederate of Cot
ham, believed to have been Baker,
opened fire. The shots struck Gotham
instead of the shoemaker.
Baker, as a witness in his own de-
fense, said he had accompanied Cot
ham to the shoemaker's shop believ-
ing the latter was going to meet his
wife. He said he heard shots/a ran
away, returning east without stopping
to learn what had occurred.
Later Baker was arrested in the east
while on his honeymoon. His bride
returned to Los Angeles with him and
was present throughout the trial, aid
ing in his defense and frequently pro-
testing her conviction he was inno-
cent.
Baker was traced to the east through
a trunk checked at Phoenix, Arizona.

HORNSBY WINS VERDICT
In BETTING LAWSUIT

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 81 Up - Rogers
Hornsby, manager of the world cham
pion Cardinals last year and now cap
tain of the New York Giants, was
freed of all horse race debt claims
today in the suit brought by Frank L.
Moore, former Cincinnati betting COM
missioner, for $36, ,275. A jury in cir
cult court brought in the decision re-
lieving the ball player of paying the
money allegedly lost in horse race
bets.
The verdict in favoring Hornsby took
the view that Moore and Hornsby were
gambling jointly and that the debts
are therefore inadmissable Circuit
Judge McElhinney in. instructing the
jury, flatly declared that gambling
debts are inadmissable If Hornsby
and Moore were gambling jointly the
jurist said, then Moore was without
redress. On the other hand, the judge
pointed out, if Hornsby had first bor-
rowed the naone5 from Moore and
then later authorized use of it, Moore
was entitled to judgment.

 According to the knowledge I have of the herring I am not in doubt as to the history of the scale The herring came sometime in the fall of 1917, drifting or swimming to Northern Norway waters. south from it's spawning place. It lived there partly in the fjord and pos- sibly along the coast until it be- came about three years old. Some time in the year 1920 it began to migrate to place where the win ter climate in the sea was different from that of Northern Norway, and as result the winter rings change ed. Here it lived at least two and possibly three years until it became able to reproduce itself, and then in the year of 1922 or 1923, it pre- it's place of spawning.
 Where the herring lived since it left Northern Norway until it be- came ''vaarsild' will be discussed in the next article.

characteristic that I nave to de- scribe and make Illustration of it. The last, however, is very difficult different light in order to give a correct picture; and even the best picture is hard to trace in it's re- production.
 The peculiarities that belong to the northern Norway herring are First, the seasonal summer belt of the scale is very small in compari son to the first and the third sum- mer belt. This peculiarity is very /, common on the herring caught in Northern Norway and very seldom for the Western Coast Often does it happen that the first three sum- mer belts are smaller than those that come later on. It is different in that respect, although I may prove it to be quite rekular.
 In the second place the winter rings are more sharply defined and look like thin lines. This is very characteristic of the northern her. ring. This feature is not closely characterized, or explained, it must be seen.
 The fishermen in northern Nor way speak of two kinds of young herring. They are the so-called "Fjordstoing a fish, which also the name indicates, that has stayed in the fiords ever since it came there as a frye. The other herring is called "Havsild" (ocean herring because it is believed they come to the fiords from the ocean. The her. ring that comes in from the ocean is fatter and also larger. This her. ring we speak of was a "havsild' (ocean herring) 27 centimeters long, but if I am correct, this one was a ''fjordstoing' Gone that stays . in the fiord) in his second year. It is very likely one or several years in the ford, with one or more following years in more spacious circumstances, that condition the abnormally small sumfer belts on the scales.
 something to do with the temper ature of the ocean or with other peculiarities of the sea that change from north to south. At any rate it is fact that the herring in the northern part of Norway have those sharply defined rings, likewise this strange dwarf herring that lives in the inner waters of the White Sea while the herring further south have lines less sharply defined. (The herring from the Atlantic Ocean, in the vicinity of Ireland have scales with rings so dim as to be difficult to be seen.) When a herring with T. the marks from Northern Norway after same years, have developed in to "vaarsild" and where "vaar- sildfiske" takes place on the West ern part of Norway the scale will have the following "earmarks" : The first three winter rings are sharp and distinct, while the others

of cruelty and starvation scandals.
Thus far, the senate committee on
state institutions has recommended
appropriations for virtually all state
institutions which the governor in
his message said needed money. Their

committees of the two houses, but
at least it is sufficient. 1t forecasts
a probable addition to the state CAPT

ers' college at Flagstaff and Tempe,
a home for disabled miners, additions
to the state hospital, the school for
the deaf, dumb and blind and the
pioneers home, and a much needed
ward for women at the state prison
The senate has baked, however, on
the governors proposal for a state
cement factory, costing $250,OOO, and
probably will turn down the request
of the state fair commissioners for
a. new exhibits building, costing $685.
O00 With quorum present but sew
eral members absent, sufficient
strength was concentrated to obtain
favorable report on the cement plant
from the committee of the whole, but
the ayes were fewer than the number
needed to pass the bill when it comes
up for final action
There is general consciousness of
the fact that something is radically
wrong with the states financial sys-
tenn, but whether the desire to rectify
it will develop into anything con-
structive remains to be seen.
Ana Frohmiller, the new state audi
tor, says she is going to ask for an
appropriation which will permit. her
office to fulfill the duties imposed on
it by law. The statutes say that she
shall audit the books of every depart

done, either in the highway depart

GRAIN MARKET REVIEW


Sharply higher prices in Canadian
and European markets had asstrength-
ening influence on the domestic wheat
market during the week ending jan
uary 90, and prices advanced one to
two cents per bushel at most markets,
according to the Weekly Grain Mar
ket Review of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The market
for feed grains held fairly steady but
the absence of an active demand pre-
vented any material increase in prices.
The barley market was relatively
frmer than that for other feed grains,
the prices of feeding qualities being
advanced by the competition for the
better mailing barley sold at 72c to
IA cents at Minneapolis and special
No. 2 at 76c to 821s at Milwaukee.
Feeding grasses sold at from 55c to
Csc in the central western markets
The demand for feeding barley is
not likely to be materially changed
during the coming year, according to

Department and the market value will
be determined largely by the supply

plainly show that against the specific
mandate Of the last legislature, sal
aries were raised for an annual total
of approximately $4,000. In the min
utes are entries recording the nee
essary authorization, but members
who signed them say they can collect
no such action. Governor Hunt tells
the committee that as chairman of the

he never approved the increases made
and there is no showing that they were
ever discussed by the board

Murphy returned a comprehensive

it was not necessarily the opinion Of

ton had been addressed.
In substance, the Attorney General
held: % that only the legislature

HAY MARKET REVIEW

Hay markets were quiet with re-
ceipts moderate but generally equal
to demand during the week ending
January 30. Slack demand in some
of the eastern markets with con-
siderable quantity of lower grade hay
in some of the producing markets
caused somewhat easier tone ex-
cept for the best grades.
There is no prospect for nation
wide increase in hay requirements in
1927 due to the fact that the number
of hay consuming animals lin ithe
United States continues to show a
downward trend, according to the ag-
ricultural outlook report issued by
the Bureau of Agricultural Economics
this week. Hay prices are only slight
ly higher at the present time than
two years ago when the supply was
largest on record notwithstanding the
fact that the domestic supply. includ-
ing farm stocks, for the past two
seasons averaged about ten per cent
less than for the three preceding sea-
sons.
The present trend in tho market
demand for hay is toward increased
requirements of legume hay for dairy
feeding and decreased requirements
of timothy and other grass hays for
horse feeding There is a strong and
constant demand for the best grades
Of alfalfa and clover hay in the eastern
and southeastern states, Demand for
baled hay is not likely to increase
during the coming season unless a
shortage of hay production over an
extensive region should necessitate
