One day last week c. c. Watkins of Crittenden and Deputy Sheriff White of Harshaw had serious experience.

 A novel well will be put down near Tucson by NJ. G Samaniego shortly. It will be dug with horses and a scrap CT. What he projects is a trench forty feet long and eight feet wide This he will scrape out, and go down and down till water is struck, which is ex- pected at about twenty or twenty five feet deep. When the depth de- sired is attained the well will be cased in and filled around. Quick sand forbids the usual method of sink ing wells.

the bright hopes which her bearing to-

quite so directly as he had expected.

did not wish to lose the good will of

One of the side issues in the loca
campaign Ithis year Is the matter OF
county division. II has its inception ia
what is believed by the Forsyth people
To- be a condition Of affairs that suggest
the propriety Of the west end of the
county being detached and set up as a
new county with power TO administer its
own affairs We are DOT fully informed
as To all the reasons given IN favor Of
this action. but We do know that it Is
broadly and manly based on a desire
for reduction Of taxes. As usual. this
wish Is father tsthe thought that coun
t. division will bring about lessening
of public expenses and a consequent de
crease of taxation. How true this is. We
will let our Forsyth friends figure out
from the following statements which are
meant to be conservative and TO repre-
sent probable facts. The constitution
provides that when a new county is
formed of parts of one or more counties.
that the new county must assume its
share Of the bonded and other indebted
ness of the county or counties out Of
which it is formed, proportionate to the
amount of taxable property included in
the new county as shown by the last
assessment. less the same ratable pro-
portion Of the value Of the county build
ings left in the old county or counties.
Ii is proposed we understand to con
struct this new county by including all
that part OF Custer county lying west OF
Q line drawn:north and south through
Hathaway. This may not be exactly the
idea but it is approximate enough for
purposes of argument and dsmonstra-
ton. The assessed valuation Of Custer
county may be put at s6.000.O0O. 1t is
more than that on paper but it includes
q large assessment on the Grow reserva-
ton which is made year after year but
never yields us any taxes, so that e6,0OO,
900 is all that can be figured ION. Now,
the strip to be taken of does not con-
tain to exceed 81 100000 Of assessed val
uation; say one-fourth of the whole
amount. On this basis the new county |
would have to assume one-fourth of the |
old county's debt less one-tourth the
value a its public buildings. When |

DISEASE GERMS IN MILK.
Vow They May he Killed by Pasteurizine
the EIuid.


The simplest way to pasteurize milk is
To place it first in clean bottles. Then
put the bottles into a large kettle CT
other metal receptacle. Pour cold water
into the kettle until the water reaches
the level of the milk in the bottles
Now close the mouth of each bottle
with "a plug Of clean white cotton fiber.
Heat the kettle and contents to 155 de-
grees i. Then remove from the fire and
cover the whole affair snugly with a
wooden cloth to keep from cooling at
once. Leave half an hour. then take out
the bottles and keep them in running
water or in any cool place, leaving them
still stopped with the plug of cotton.
The flexible wooden shoppers used
with some kinds of patent glass jars
would answer in place Of cotton, the
object being to exclude air, dust and
germs. Be careful not to heat above los
degrees, or the milk will not taste quite
right. In practice it will be found a
good idea to make easier the circulation
Of the hot water by placing a wire
frame an inch or two in height in the
kettle beneath the bottles
Milk carefully treated by the above
process may be warranted free from
disease germs, and it will keep sweet
about "a hours. Many q milkman could
get up fancy trade at advanced prices
on milk treated in this way. For ship
ping milk long distances none Of the
methods, except by icing, has bean yet
