Really Prosperous
Graham County Bulletin


 People coming to the Gila valley, for the first time, are struck with wonder and admiration by the evidences to be seen on every hand of the wonderful advance ment that has recently been made by our people. Farm after orchard, pasture af- ter village; and there are more brick buildings on the road between Solomon vile and Fort Thomas, than can be found on any twenty eight miles of road in Ari- zona on New Mexico. The farmers all have comfortable and attractive homes, with well-built walks from the road, bor- dered with beautiful trees, shrubbery, and blooming beds of flowers; all demonstrat- ing that the country will grow everything necessary for the comfort of man. The grainfelds have just yielded fine crops of wheat and barley, and are now being planted in corn, making two crops of grain in one year, while from the alfalfa land the third crop of hay is being cut. Every evidence of thrift and industry are here to be seen. There are yet thousands of acres of rich land idle, awaiting the coming of other settlers In search of homes. They will be here when 1t Is made known that we have such wonder ful advantages, where mans labor IS re- warded by abundant returns of the nec- essities as well as the luxuries of life. A large amount of land is being entered and this will continue and increase until the country between San Jose and Fort | Thomas will be solid blocks of cultivated | fields, yielding products sufficient to sup l port a population of twenty thousand people.

Canned Meats.
Western Rural.

Will you please explain the modus operandi of canning meat ill the great canning establishments at the Union stock yards? asks correspondent.
 Cattle killed for canning are usually we'll fattened native cows and Texas and other range cattle. such as are usually ranked in the market as good butchering cattle. Corned beef after being first salt ed and cured in the chill room, at tenn perature of thirty eight degrees Fahren- heit, is taken over to the cannery and cooked by steam i'll hot water. It Is then put upon the chopping table and cut up. Hand labor is employed for this purpose, because It IS necessary to select the parts of the beef that go into the cans and to throw out the gristle and other unsuitable portions. The best cuts of table beef are selected for canning purposes. This pro cess over, all the rest of the manipulation Is done by machinery. The cans are placed ill receiver and are charged from the bottom. A steel plug or plunger presses the beef compacity into the cans. They are then weighed and any shortage or overplus is rectifed. A circular Orifice Is left in the bottom of the can. Upon this disc of tin plate with small hole in the center, is laid, overlapping the ori- flee and firmly soldered around the rim, leaving the little aperture in the center still open. The cans are next placed In a steam bath for about thirty minutes which creates vacuum. As soon as the air is thus expelled from them, the re maining opening is quickly soldered and the can is then air tight, or should be so Each can is tested by an expert, who as certains by sounding if there is any de feet If so, it is thrown out, but if found perfect the cans are run through steam and washed in hot water to remove all grease from the outside, and are ther plunged into a bath of cold water tC collapse them. The only remaining pro cess is the lacquering and labelling. Thi; is done by girls and women.

Take no Chances.
Lordsburg Liberal

The other day Col. Wigglns of Horse shoe was sitting upon his perch viewing the beauties of nature. Suddenly there came over the knoll three or four Apach- es. The colonel lost no time Ill getting inside the house for his rifle, and as he said afterwards, II never slipped d car fridge into my gun quicker in my life As the colonel poked the rifle out of the door for a shot at the nearest Indian he was met with the salutation of "bueno Apache" The only good Apaches the colonel knew were the proverbial dead ones and he thought he had better begin shooting, and not run any chances. He pull down his gun and just as he was going to press the trigger there rode over the knoll behind the Indian a buffalo soldier It then flashed through the c0lonePs mined that the Apaches were scouts and he did not fire. He advised the sergeant in charge of the detachment to ride ahead of the scouts when approach ing house, and thereby avoid soaring unsuspecting settlers bald headed and may be saving the scouts lives

CARE OF TREES.
How Fruit Should be Cared for---The
 Proper Time.
Practical Farmer.

ffAcIlcal aflner.
 Very few young trees receive the proper care and attention after they have been planted until they have reached sturdy maturity. Many magnificent trees have grown up to fine proportions, and lived to good old age. without care or fore thought of a man; but the proportion of good trees that survive to the whole number which spring up annually Is very small indeed. Nature is so lavish with her seed that some must survive; but her work can be greatly supplemented by man.
 Every newly planted tree should have asstake for a support, to keep 1t from being whipped about by the wind The trees should be fastened to the stake by strips of cloth or some substance that will not cut into the tree After they are planted thorough cultivation should be given, the ground around them being stirred every two or three weeks until the first of Sep tember. Sometimes a mulch of straw or manure around the trees will answer the same purpose as stirring the Soil.
 The trees must be watched during the growing season and injurious insects and bOrers kept down, The whole shape of the tree should be made during its first year or two of growth, and a great deal oi injurious pruning will then be saved. A bud may be pinched off with less loss to the tree than the pruning off of a large branch later in life, Very little of thumt pruning will be need the first year, but during the second and third it may bt employed quite extensively
 The tree can thus be shaped without any loss of vital force. Pruning will be | necessary, however, to supplement tht thump- -pinching work. This will be re quired every year for some time, if it de sired to give the tree a noble symmetrical appearance. Wherever a good branch O an incipient fork threatens the life anC beauty of the tree or branch If founC growing in the wrong direction, the thumt or pruning knife should be used as soo1 as possible. The earlier in the life of th' tree that this work IS done the less will b' lhe injury done the tree growth.

Takes the Prize.

The snake editor on the staff of the Lordsburg Liberal never tells yarn in halfway manner, as is evidenced by the following, from the last issue of that lively paper:
 The east bound train got through all right, as the cloud-burst was behind and chasing it. Engineer Savers looked out of his window and saw the cloud burst coming and pulled out to escape. The rain was dropping on the Pullman when he opened the throttle and it gained little and got mp to the smoker, but by that time Savers had 'em d rolling" and the storm could not get any nearer the engine The race lasted about twenty minutes and Southern Pacific train nev- CT went any faster Finally the cloud burst gave up the race and Savers pulled into Bowie with three dry cars and three shedding water.

W. T. U. COLUMN.
Edited by Miss GERTRUDE B. HUGHES, Territorial Press Superintendent w. C. T. U.

Miss Frances E. Willard, in her ad dress on "The White Cross in Educa- tion," given before the National Educa tional association, at St. Paul, July g., made the following practical points. Let purity have the first word. The child will ask questions early; let not the coarse reply get in its work before the chaste one comes. Science is like fire, 1t burns away dross. Tell him what science says Gods laws are all equally clean and holy. Tell him of the laws of God. It is now taught by the best scientists that young men of chaste life make the most brilliant students, and for hygIenlc reasons. Let the sanchty of potential percentage be invoked to offset the de lirious dream of self-indulgence Let your watchword be one standard for man and woman-a white life for two. Teach girls the gospel of dress that imposes no | ligature Let the teacher of physical cul- ! ture. whom l like to call 'l..oral hOrtl- | culturist," train the children not to permit the insignia of impurity upon the walls, and not to accept debasing literature upon the play grounds. Put women on the school boards that they may help the teacher to guard the little ones against these dangers. Ask our educational | journals to establish department devot- ed to the White Cross and Healthful Habits" and let the purest pens furnish the material for its columns "-Nationa w. c. T. U. Bulletin.

The First Steamer on the Mississippi

The ElrSt steamer on the misSiSSlppi.
 In the year 1911 Nicholas J. Roosevelt built a steamer at Pittsburg, after first getting a permit from Fulton and Liv- ingstone. Fulton furnished the plans for the boat, which was called the New Orleans It was a stern wheeler of about 200 tons burden, and was also pro- vided with sails, which were used when the wind was fair. The hull of this pioneer Mississippi craft was 139 feet in length, 80 feet beam, and the cost of the whole, including engines, has been fig ured at about $40,000. Roosevelt and his family, with an engineer, pilot and six deck hands, left Pittsburg Oct. H.
 1911, and reached New Orleans two weeks later. When the New Orleans rode down the Ohio and out into the broad waters of the Mississippi that Oc- tober morning seventy-nine years ago she marked a new era ill the history ol the "Great West. ."-St. Louis Republic

An Opera Glass Camera.

Another detective camera that has met with considerable success lately is m the shape of an opera glass. It is re- ally an opera glass with the larger glasses removed and disc plates substi- tuted. The shutter is in the smaller end and nicely concealed spring operates it. The focus can be adjusted easily, as the screw in the centre is arranged for that purpose. Of course the negatives are small, but they can be enlarged by any of the many appliances known to the photographic world. Two meniscus lenses of equal focusing powers should be substituted for the concave glasses at the narrow end.-New York Evening Sun.

CHARLIE MEADOWS.
Is Engaged as the Leader of "Wnd
 West Show"
Phenix Republican.


 For seven or eight years the name of Charles Medows has been familiar one to the cattle men of the Southwest, as the champion In all round cowboy exercises of skill. He IS cattle owner himself, having a ranch under the rim, near Payson, Gila county.
 Republican reporter found MT. Meadows in the city yesterday and learn ed from him that he will soon leave for Australia, going as the head attraction of d Wild West show"
 Il am offered S2OO a month and eX- penses," said Mir Meadows, "and as the trip will be pleasant one, have accepted the position. Worth Brothers, of San Francisco, are the proprietors of the show. They write me that they have engaged fifteen Mojave Indians and about dozen California cowboys, all good men, We will sail from San Francisco on Aug ust 26, and will be gone at least six months. Our horses have already been secured and will await us in Sydney There will be forty of them and as bad ones as the colonists can furnish. We expect to give the Australians few points on rough riding.
 II am native of Visalia, California am twenty-six years of age and have been riding ever since 1 was old enough to sit upon horse. I have been in thirty-two boy contests, and in only one instance have been defeated. The best time l ever made at tournament was at the Territorial fair two years ago. I had my steer tied in fifty seconds, and gave him fifty yards start at that.
 q have had for several years, chal lenge out to any one in the world, tc match me riding bronchos or roping.
 MT. Meadows, though young in years has had experience beyond the ordinary in Indian fighting and in the exciting episodes that accompany the life of an active cowboy on the frontier He assur- edly is well fitted to display such scenes to the eyes of city multitudes.
 He will leave for his ranch in few days after which he will go to San Francisco. Mro K MoK apzia hoe fol 4ha Erxyo,
