IP the wool clip all over the United
States should be reduced for the
year 1910, as it has been in Ari
zona, where the clipping is done
earlier than in other sections of
the country, the market will be high.
Arizona had the earliest clip in its
history this year. The clip is usual
ly at its height in Salt River valley
and In other sections of the territory
about the middle of February, where
as this year the sheep were all shorn
and on their way back to the hills on
February 12. The flocks wintered
well, but owing to the cold weather i
the grass on the ranges continued
dry, and as a result, the quality of the
wool wc improved, while the output i
was curtailed So pronounced was j
this shortage in the clip that instead I
of the in.'lux of several hundred thou- j
sand of sheep into the clipping cen
ters of the Salt Kiver valley, the num
bers could be counted by the thou
sands. I
The clipping began this year about
the tenth of January, and by the mid
dle of February was finished at Cave j
Creek, Marinette, Beardsley, Hot '
Springs Junction, Congress Junction
and VVeden. Machines were used at
all these clipping centers with the ex- .
ception of Weden and Congress June- j
Hon, where the shearing was done by I
hand. Shearing in the north was la- :
ter, but even there tar ahead of the
usual season Conditions were about
the same in Mohave county, the clip
ping center for thru district b< ing
Kingman.
in former years It was customary
for the sheep men to drive their '
flocks from Mohave county to the Salt
River valley for the lambing and
shearing season, using the forest |
range- running north and south for
forii. " •• !rr« the route both north and
south. Mut the new forest regulations
now prohibit thi■ use of the govern
ment reserves; the sheep men have
been unable to get their tlocks through,
especially through the Verde valley,
so that the inov• tuent south was aban
doned this season.
In addition to the restrictions placed
upon the forest reserves, the valleys
that In former years were green, owr
ing to the <*o:d. dry weather and the
consequent lack of rains, this year '
were not green enough to support the '
moving flocks. The iv nit of this Is |
that those (locks which were moved I
south, for lack of grating In the cen
tral Arizona valley*, had to hasten
back north, where the lambing proved
disastroc , not only to the lambkins j
hut to the ewes a* well. For this
reason "u per cent, of the sheep ahem j
In \rtxeil4 for 1t» 10 had the clipping
done tu Yavapai county, midway In- 1

the Salt River valley. The buyers
that were in the field were representa
tives of Dewey, Gold & Co., of Bos
ton; Brown & Adams, of Boston, and
Salter Brothers, representing various
houses in Boston. Workers were
scarce, and wages were high. Clip
pers that formerly received from sls
to S4O per month now receive from
$35 to SIOO per month, and most of
these laborers are Mexicans.
Goat raising in Arizona has proved
profitable, and this year's prices, paid
by the Boston markets, were the high
est ever recorded, For kid mohatr, R.
Edmundson of Yarnell received 50
cents per pound, and this was paid for
the grade known as No. 2. This salo
was made through the National Mo
hair Growers' association, organized
recently in opposition to the wool
combine. The new association lias an
agency and warehouse in Boston, and
lost no time in getting into the Ari
zona field.
The shipment netted Edmundson 40
cents a pound after paying transpor
tation charges and association ex
penses. Not only is the goat proving
i profitable from the sale of the hair,
i but recently Arizona goat mutton sold
| in the Kansas City market for $6.25
| the hundred. The territory has many
i mesas and mountain slopes, which
j afford a natural habitat for the An
gora goat, and the outlook is that
this branch of the stock raising in Ari
zona will continue to grow in impor
tance.
Owing to the warm climate In this
■ territory, lambs come into the tnar-
I ket at a very early season, which gives
I the flocks additional advantage over
i other parts of the country. One ship
ment of iambs was mado from the
Salt River farms by J. A. Pitts of Ash
Fork, as early as March 14. This con
| signment consisted of four double car
j loads of spring lambs, which were sent
!to Kansas Tity. This was the first
attempt ever made in Arizona to ship
the iambs so that they might arrive in
Kansas City before Easter. While this
| shipment w,ia made in the nature of
an experkiv-nt it proved profitable,
i and n» ,N , year It Is probable that Ari
zona l nibs will find ready early tale
'!n Kansas City stock yards. The
lambs sold were raised on Pitts' farm
j and if .1 on hay raised on his farm. In
stead of leaving the lambkins on the
j ranges.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1910.
Her Supreme Moment
By ANNIE HINRICHSEN
Copyright, igio, by Associated Literary Press
The manager, who was also the
leading man, faced the newest mem
ber of his company with a flinty coun
tenance. ,
"I can't do it,"the newest member
wailed. "I can't —I can't. Play that
part here, of all places—a part I don't
know and haven't time to learn. Is it
necessary? Won't you reconsider?"
The manager sighed inwardly. But
before him were two ills—the anger
of his star, the grief of his newest
member; and the grief of the newest
member was a tiny evil compared
with the anger of his star.
"I'm sorry, Miss Fortesque—awfully
sorry. But I can't help it."
"Aren't you the manager? Don't you
Control this company?"
He was silent. lie was the man
ager, but the star was the star, and
to her lie was in absolute subjection.
"This is my home town, Mr. White,
and tonight will be my first appear
ance here in a professional company.
Every man, woman and child who will
come here tonight knows me. I was
born and raised here; so were my par
ents and grandparents. If you change
the bill and compel me to play 'Mar
na' in 'Siratton's Policy' you will make
me ridiculous. I don't know the play
nor the part; I don't know a dozen
lines."
"Your part is a minor one and you
can subordinate it still more. Keep
well away from the center of the
stage, speak only when addressed and
cut out all business of acting. The
rest of the company are so familiar
with the play that they can swing it
along without much help from you."
"One can't play even the part of a
lay figure without preparation."
Six months before he had taken her
from a company in which she was
playing an insignificant part and
given her a place in his own, second
in importance to that of his star. But
the freshness, the enthusiasm and the
originality of her work and the charm
of her personality had been out of all
proportion to a minor part. In defi
ance of all the laws of the profession,
her own individuality had turned a
small role into a conspicuous one. 1
"Mr. White, hasn't there been in
jour lifo a purpose that meant more
to you than anything else -that you
j dreamed of and worked for with all j
j the strength that wus in you? Haven't j
j you looked forward to the time when
I your own endeavors brought the reali
zation of the dream? Perhaps my
dream has not been a very lofty one;
1 but 1 have put into it everything I
; have. It was that i might successfully
play a g<«>d role in a big company be j
fore the people of my own town. I've j
toiled, drudged, slaved since tho day 1
| I left here. I've made good. I've I
eotne back in a part that the critics j
| say Is remarkably well done. To
night's performance wu« to have boon
I the biggest event of my life, the su
: promt* moment toward which every
I one who has a dream of uu id-jal
looks the big realization! And for a
: whim you will wreck It all. You will '
change thu bill and put 011 'Miration's
I Policy' instead of The Holbrookes' i
tnd kH" me a part I've never seen ;
The company had ended the tour with '
: 'titration's Policy' when I Joined th<*m.
I'll he wot mi- than a failure I'll be a '
horrible, ghastly trav -%ty of an nc- I
treMfi, Don't I can't I won't!"
"You ruttni." declared the manager j
H* ha l to do an unplua ant thing and ,
tin lttt< tided to be brave and llrm
I about it. "We shall not discuss the ■
HI iter any longer The |day tonight !

| youth her mother had held the same
distinction; and there were aged gen
tlemen who spoke of the early beauty
and charm of her grandmother. Three
generations of friends and relatives
packed the house.
The first act was half over. The
leading man, who was also the man
ager, had received an almost inaudible
greeting, the famous star a weak and
perfunctory applause.
The curtains at the back of the
stage parted. Mama, sister of the
hero, ran in and threw her arms
around the neck of her stage brother.
A cheering roar broke from the house.
Every man and woman in It seemed
to be clapping, cheering and pounding.
The volume of sound subsided and
rose, again and again.
With her arm tightly about the
neck of tho leading man Mary For
tesque turned toward the audience.
As fresh and innocent and unspoiled
as when she had left home, she stood
before them with all the sweetness of
the home-loved, home-loving southern
girl.
The leading man squirmed uneasily
and her arm tightened about his neck.
As the last cheer died away, still
gripping the leading man's neck with
her arm, half dragging him, she
walked to the center of the stage.
"My friends, my own people," she
began. "I shall not try to tell you
how happy I am to be here. You
know the love in my heart for you all.
I'm home —home! I want to hold out
my arms to you and weep a little
while—just for Joy.
"I wanted to appear before you to
night as a good actress in a good
part, and I say, without vanity, that
had the play been the one scheduled,
'The Holbrookes,' I could have done
so and you would not have been
ashamed of me. But this morning the
manager, this leading man"—she
shook him—"changed the bill and
compelled me to appear tonight in a
play that I had never seen. I do not
know my part. I shall not try to act.
I shall stand on the stage while the
play goes on around me. Your judg
ment of mo will be kindly; you can
understand how bitter is my disap
pointment because I cannot give you
my best. But Mr. White" —another
shako—"has decreed—"
"Lynch him!" yelled a voice. "String
him up!" "Burn him!" came from all
parts of the house.
"We shall give you the play," she
went on, when she could be heard;
"you will kuow why I only stand and
smile."
The play went on as best it could.
Whenever Mary Fortesque came on
tho stage tho house cheered and
clapped. The few lines she spoke,
every gesture, every smile, brought
enthusiastic applause. In the dressing
rooms and wings the flowers were
stacked in sheafs. The loading man's
best scenes were enlivened by cat
calls and hoots from the audience.
Half a dozen times Mary Fortesque
was recalled before the final curtain
dropped.
lu one of the wings the manager
was alternately pleading with and
swearing at a newspaper representa
tive.
"Spare your feelings? Keep quiet
about this story?" jeered tho news
paper man. "Not on your life. Every
morning paper in the country shall
have this tale. And won't you get tho
roustings? Serves you right for let
ting that jealous Deene boss you
around. You ought to have stood by
thu little girl."
The little girl, her arms heaped high
with (lowers, came up to them.
"1 was Just congratulating Mr.
White," said tho Journalist, "on your
success tonight. Why, Miss For
tesque, you're made—you've arrived.
Tomorrow you'll he the most talked of
actress In America. Your fortune—"
She shook her bead gently. "No,"
she said quietly. "Tonight I leave tho
stage forever. I've had a Utile glimpse
of fame and I've had a long look at
what lien under It jealousy, aelfseek-
Ing, sordbliiess. For some the reward
compensates for the bitterness, but It
never will for me. Home and love
and—" She dropped her face In the
niasa of rosea. In a moment she
looked up. "Hid you see that big, black
eyed laddie who yelled 'Lynch himf*
He Is a perfect laddie, but until to
night 1 thought fume was better than
love and home. Now, if he still wanta
me—"
Through the wings came a broad
shouldered young giant. Impatiently
pushing aside the piled up furniture.
"And I think he does," she said.

YOUNT UNIFORMITY BILL
IS HIT BY EDUCATORS
Ohio Teachers' Association Adopts
Strong Resolution Against State
Uniformity of School Books.
Cedar Point, 0., .—Educators
of Ohio to the number of 2,000 attend
ed the annual meeting of the Ohio
State Teachers' Association here. The
session was marked by two important
incidents —the teachers refused to lis
ten to an address on equal suffrage and
they took unanimous action against
state uniformity of school books.
During the last session of the legis
lature the Yount uniformity bill was
passed by the senate and was lost in
the house. The educators of Ohio do
not want uniformity considered again
and they voice their protest in the fol
lowing strong resolution:
"We believe that the educational
value of school proces. is and practices
should be paramount to every other
consideration. We are therefore op
posed to all efforts which would aim
to establish a system of State Uni
formity in the selection of text-books,
because we believe that such a sys
tem would be a hindrance to the pres
ent progress of our schools."
HE ENJOYED IT.
Mrs. Talkalot —It's a wonder you
wouldn't be careful about your own
language. You make it a business to
pick me up on little blunders.
Mr. Talkalot—No, my dear. I make
a recreation of it.
Controlled Newspapers.
The Atchison Globe says that no ad
vertiser has ever tried to control its ed
itorial policy, the remark being occa
sioned by the charge often made nowa
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience of the Globe is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal of ad
vertising is more interested in the cir
culation department of a newspaper
than in the editorial department. If a
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and is read by them, he is satis
fied, and it may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
of his own, and he isn't trying to shoul
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and a good many of them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
I control are not the business men who
j pay their money for advertising space.
I The newspapers which are established
J for political purposes are often con-
I trolled by chronic officeseekers, whoso
| first concern is their own interests.
| There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice of
such newspapers is always raised In
| protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu
| ally is controlled by its owner, and he
I is supposed to be in duty bound to make
j ail sorts of sacrifices at all sorts of
, times; there are people who consider
It his duty to Insult his advertisers,
just to show that he is free and inde
pendent. if ho shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay hini their
money, and make It possible for him to
carry on the business, he is "subsi
dized" or "controlled." Tho newspaper
owner Is a business nnn, like tho dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer
chants are expected to have considera
tion for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by thu
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher Is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he Is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. It Is a funny com
bination when you think It over.—
