AFTER
LONG ABSENCE

w. A. Sheppard, old timer in this
part of Arizona and well known as
farmer of the Sulphur Springs
valley district, has returned to Doug
las after an absence of eight years.
Sheppard stated yesterday that he
had tried every climate from San
Antonio to Los Angeles and had
found none to compare with that
of Douglas Mrs. Sheppard Is ill
in Los Angeles, having had paralytic
stroke sometime ago from which she
has never recovered, but will come
to Douglas as soon as Mr.. Sheppard
finds a location.
When Sheppard lived here years
ago his farm was in the Sulphur
Springs district near Leslie canyon
and he made a big success of raising
dairy cattle, horses, sheep, beans, milo
maize and corn.
Sheppard is interested in acquiring
some acreage and intends to utilize
flood waters for the purpose OF
irrigation, as he found this to be
very successful method in his opera
tions before. He told the record of
having raised 1900 head of cabbageS
on one quarter acre of land in the
Sulphur Springs valley.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Feb. 6 lF9-Soaking gen.
eral rains giving relief from drought
which has threatened domestic winter
wheat prospects gave downward
swing to the wheat market today. Corn
advanced on account of big eXpors
business but later reacted owing to a
question of allowing buying the priv
ilege of federal appeal as to disputes
concerning grades.
Closing quotations on wheat were
unsettled, u 7sc net lower; corn Is %
&c down, oats 30 $@Ac off and pro-
visions 10@22c down.
Wheat underwent a material set
back in price at the outset, the west
and southwest reporting the best rain
in months. The liberal supply of mois-
ture did much to Danish crop damage
fears and the market effect was in
creased by unexpected doWnturns in
wheat quotations at Liverpool. Mean
while the amount of wheat afloat for
Europe was shown to have increased
6,256,0O0 bushels last week, making the
total exceed both that of the previous
week and a year ago.
On the other hand substantial de-
crease of the United States wheat
visible supply helped rally Chicago
prices in late dealings. There was a
sharp advance in cash premiums
which we're 1c SC up here for red
winter h@2c up for hard No. to
better for spring wheat. Moreover the
domestic visible supply total showed
1,844,0O0 bushels fall, just about an
exact counterbalance for 1,838,OOO
bushels increase of the Canadian visi-
BILE supply.
Estimates of corn export business
today varied from 100000 bushels to
100000 bushels. The export buying
was done at comparatively high trad
ing basis with ocean freight rates also
firmer Unfavorable weather for the
movement of corn was likewise good
deal responsible for early upturns but
the gains failed to hold in the face Of
enlarged pressure to sell. Oats eased
as result of sympathy with wheat.
Hog receipts far above expectation
sent the provision market to new
low level for the season.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 O9.--~Tele-
91ams signifyinf. the willingness Of
New Mexico, Nevada, California and
Utaa to resume negotiations toward
a Colorado river compact We're re-
cciycd tonight by Chairman Smith,
of the house irrigation committee.
The communications came in re-
sronse to messages sent t) the gov
olnors end Colorado river commits
sloners of the seven basin states in
forming them of the action of the
irrigation committee in Gelayilg it's
report to the house on the Swing
Johnson Boulder canyon dam bill
until after March Is.
Governor Dern, of Utah, chair
man of the governors conference
which has tried to bring about an
agreement among. the seven states,
said that he was communicating
with the other governors asking for
en- eally resumr ton OF the confer
ences.
Il appreciate Arizona feels she is
being asked to negotiate with a gun
at her head" the governor added,
but we will do the best we can.
Il am glad the committee gives
some consideration to the rights oil
.statea and hope you will finally
conclude that the Colorado river
controversy should be settled by in
torested states before congress in
tervenes and that congress should
be, as much interested in Utah as
in California"
The Utah executive in his testi-
mony before the committee during
the Boulder canyon hearings asked
it to delay action on the Swing
Johnson bill until after the seven
states had effected an agreement.
Both Governor Dillon, of New
Mexico, and Governor ,Balzar, of
Nevada, expressed pleasure at the
delay and said they would do every
thing practicable to reach COM
promise within the allotted time.
John l.. Bacon, Of San Diego,
Calf, chairman of the states Colo
RADIO river commission, said that
California was anxious to reach any
agreement within reason.
Believe any conferences should
be held out here, not in Washing
ton, if question is to be treated
from economic rather than political
ANGLE" his message said.
No response had been received
tonight by Mr.. Smith from his tele-
gram to Governor Hunt, of Arizona,
or from the officials of Colorado

|of the latter state, was en- route to
his home from Washington, how

SENATE AT ODDS
OVER DECREE IN
BAKING TRUST

WASHINGTON Feb. S tP-Major-
ity and minority reports condemning
and defending the department of JUS
tice and the federal trade commission
for dismissal of the antitrust case
against the Continental Baking cor
poration were filed today with the
senate judiciary committee by a sub
committee which conducted an investi-
cation at the last session Of congress.
Senators Walsh, democrat, Montana,
and Borah, republican, Idaho, spon-
sored the majority report, while Sena-
tor Deneen, republican, Illinois, the
third member of the subcommittee,
submitted minority views. The COM
mittee considered the reports for near
ly two hours and then deferred action
until next Monday.
The complaint against the Contin-
entail corporation brought under the
Clayton act, was dismissed at the time
of the entry Of the consent decree in
the federal district court at Baltimore
on April 3, 1926, under which the
Ward Food Products corporation, of
which the Continental was a subSid-
iary, agreed to dissolve within a few
weeks after it was organized and came
under senate attack as "bread trust"
At the same time the department of
Justice dismissed a dissolution suit
which it had brought against the Con-
tinental at Baltimore and the majority
report charges that the action of both
branches Of the government was pur-
suant to an agreement by which the
Ward corporation entered into the con-
ESent decree.
In resolution prepared to accom-
pany the majority report, Senator
Walsh of Montana would have the
senate declare that the action Of the
two arms OF the government merits
public apprehension and constitutes .
dereliction of duty"
In his minority report, Senator
Deneen declared that the consent de-
cree "was an effective check on the
mania for combination and said
''the effectiveness of the decree IN
frustrating this plan for super-com-
bination and in freeing the country
from the dread of general combina-
ton of the great baking companies,
apparently is conceded"
"The decree also has had very
wholesome effect on industrial condi-
tions in general" the Illinois senator
continued, adding that the chief coun-
sci for the federal trade commission
considered the proceedings against
the Continental Baking corporation as
weak case and was anxious to get
rid of it,"

NEW YORK, Feb. (R-The stock

This tightening of money along with
news of a raise to per cent in the
Minneapolis federal reserve rediscount
rate and failure of railroads to respond
TO strength in other sections, led to
considerable profit-taking and some
early gains were materially cut down.
Bear selling developed and pool oper-
ations which had shown early expan-
sion, were restricted. Heavy buying
of express issues, Montgomery-Ward

influenced a brisk recovery and even
the sluggish railroad stocks made up
part of their losses.
