Duncan Arizonian, 1911-05-24

Douglas, the head of the Copper | Queen Mining interests as fol- j lows: "Mr. Douglas says the peo people - ple people who live in the farming com communities - munities communities of Arizona seem by their actions to believe the people re residing - siding residing in the mining towns of the Territory eat and use nothing but alfalfa and barley. They devote their entire time and energies to raising these two articles notwithstanding the fact that the merchants are im importing - porting importing every day carload after car load of products that may as well be raised in Arizona. The mining companies in all of the larger districts are as rapidly as possible replacing their horses and other draft animals with elec electric - tric electric trucks which one should plain plainly - ly plainly see cuts down the market for feed-stuffs. On the streets of Douglas one seldom ever sees a horse, the entire busines of the | town being done by Antomo Antomo-1 - -1 Antomo-1 biles. " On the train I talked with Mr. Miils the head of the Detroit : Copper Mining Company of Mo Moi - i Moi renci and he told me that the Clifton and Morenci Districts used each month of the year ten thousand dollars worth of eggs and that by far the greater part of this is imported from Kansas and other eastern points to the detriment of home industry. Yet ! our people insist on raising the crops with which the market is glutted. The people of the Clifton and Morenci district do not live on eggs and poultry products ex ex! - ! ex! clusively and there is just as good a market for other form of gar gari - i gari den products as there is for eggs. If our farmers and our merchants ; will see that all produce is shipp shipped - ed shipped in a marketable condition and placed on the market at the pro proper - per proper time there is no reason why the immense amount of money sent to other countries should not stop right here in Duncan, and add to the material wealth of its s inhabitants. The members who were pre pre| - | pre| sent will ever remember the hos hospitality - pitality hospitality of the people of Douglas. ! Douglas showed herself to be a wide awake cosmopolitan town and the dinner and entertain entertaini - i entertaini ment at the Country Club was a credit to the management. To Mr. Stacy, Mr. Grindell and to the Douglas Chamber of Com Commerce - merce Commerce and Mines we owe our thanks. John R. Fowler. Capt. Wald Returns j 0. R.

Attention Farmers E. W. Taylor, Duncan's bust busting - ing busting wholesale and retail mer merchant, - chant, merchant, made a trip to Clifton last I week on business in connection I with the disposition of the pres present - ent present hay crop for the farmers. Mr. Taylor finds upon investi investigation - gation investigation that the Clifton hay deal dealers - ers dealers prefer the hay baled in small I size bales, say averaging 70 | pounds. You see it is this way, I the dealer must retail a bale of ; hay for 75 cents no difference ; what the weight may be. Or. he | must sell 20 bales for a ton and it makes no difference what the bales weigh. Now, it naturally ! follows that the dealers prefer a small bale. It is a natural law of trade ! that the "demand governs the price" in Clifton and Morenci the demand is for a small bale: 'and to supply this demand deal dealers - ers dealers in Clifton have been forced ;to get hay from lower valley points, this cuts cut the sale of hay from our own valley. Mr. Taylor, in view of these facts, urges his farmer friends and customers to prepare their hay in SMALL BALES to satisfy the demand in the Clifton and | Moverci markets. He believes | that if the farmers will do this he can always find a ready mar market - ket market for the hay produced. ; Some farmers in the lower val val| - | val| ley who made the mistake of | buying balers which make the I large bales had their machines ! cut down or have discarded them altogether in order to furnish to ; hay dealers the size hale the de dejmand - jmand dejmand calls for. Our farmers i must do likewise, if they expect jto please the mining camp deal dealers. - ers. dealers. j Indians for U. S. Soldiers 1 1 Special to Arizonian Washington. 1). C., May 7. An Interesting proposition has reached Washington in the nature ;of a proposal by Mr. C. C. Cole, editor of the Gil i Valiev Record, to organize a troop of Cavalry made up of Apache Indians. In : his correspondence to Delegate ! Cameron, Mr. Cole states that |at the time of the taking of the last census, the district which he i enumerates embraced part of the San Carlos Indian reservation and that in the course of his woi k he made the acquaintance of a large number of Apache boys , who are graduates of different Indian schools. These boys have ! been urging him to secure the* | consent of the Government to allow them a troop of cavalry to be recruited from their numbers. The secretary of War, to whom the matter was suggested, has expressed the opinion that it would be necessary to secure an act of to authorize the organization, if it is made up ex exclusively - clusively exclusively of members of the Apache tribe, and if it is found that such is the case. Mr. Camer Cameron - on Cameron proposes to take the matter up with his colleagues in Congress in the hope that he can secure favorable action. Meanwhile the Delegate is giving the matter serious attention i n order to arrive (Continued On Page Two) Notice to Dogs and Dog Owners We have been requested by a business man of Duncan to give notice to what he calls a Dog Meeting to he composed of Duncan citizens and held in the.
