PRESCOTT, Dec. 20. The. terrors
of metering in Yavapai county are
not confined to rough and muddy
roads, according to a traveler who
Monday night drove from Ash Fork
to Prescott by the way of Pnntenrujy.
but include the dangers of being at
tacked by wild animals.
Leaving Ash Fork in the early
evening, this Prescott-bcund traveler
said that he reached the Puntenney
country about 8 o'clock, when it was
dark, and was driving.rather slowly
for that, reason.
Alone side of the road, a short
distance ahead of him, he saw what
he supposed to be a cow and paid
no particular attention to it.
As he approached the animal and
was about 30 feet from it. he saw
it lower its head and the next in
stant felt a Jar that nearly threw
the car, which was a roadster, over
rt-n ita airla
The attacking animal was a bull
which had charged the side of the
machine.' .wrecking the fender and
mudguard'on one side but otherwise
not iniurnie the machine.
Not waiting to see whether or. not
the bull had been hurt by his assault
the motorist "stepped on the gas,"
he said, and came to Prescott.
STATE ANTICIPATION
BONDS ARE REDEEMED
LOS ANKLES MART
TOPS OTHERS OU
GUTTLE PRICES
This is the hardest market- infor
mation letter I ever tried- to write,
for I can't understand prices-., nor
forecast tendencies. Prices have no
relation apparently to the- .same
cost .of an animal F.' - O. ' B. - range
through ' the southwest, nor what
the producer expects for it. '.-
Many men are not giving credit
to the stalwart endeavor of the Los:
Angeles market to secure'- better
prices, and probably' no market that
was ever' established faced a .harder
opposition -than "the"fight- being, made.
against stockyards by certain groups!
of larger cattleman.- .
I receive F. O. B. California prices
to come " to the range and buy at 61
to-. 6.50' for fat steers." Packers have
not -been able- to- withstand tempta
tion' and' -while -the market for choice
steers stay 8 to -8.50 on'paper haven't
seen but few of them lately -as the
run. was medium "-around 7.50. Calves
are a glut: Light common-; 'steers
bring around 5 cents. Ordinary 800
pounds Texas three's sold today one
load at 5, some 1000 pound Utahs; V
believe, -at 5.J5 ' weanling steer carves
around 400 pound held over at 5.25.
Cows light or heavy look to me
stronger by 50 cents on the 5.50 to
6 price and my -idea' is a light fat
cow-would sell almost a cent better
than . three weeks ago or arorind 5
cents. While - they seem .scarce so
did fat steers and so did heavy feed
ers and : so did calves at 'different
periods. .Men who Tcnow the . clas
sing of other markets claim the Los
Angeles market is topping the others'
on identical quality.
It seems to -me the opposition to
the stockyards is causing lower prices.
rather .than the stockyards, . tor us
the outside beef offers that have
affected beef prices, if they are af
fected, and many claim they ate as
strong -as ever . on. anything choice,
and its .certainly the,. virtual black
listing accorded, stockyards ' that
keeps many California men off of it
when they have lush grass, compara
tively better beef prices, and actual
ly prices cheaper, on many jjades
than they could buy F. Q. B. range
and ship in for. Again on a rising
market producers generally get bet
ter than, expected and with . all cat
tle low, a producer may get less than
he expects. . -
