Fight Between a Bird and a Snake.


1t Is not always sufficient for the
hunter to find game and to reach it.
If the game is of large size it may be
able to hold its own, and the pursuit
may end in a violent struggle, in which
both skill and cunning are necessary
to obtain conquest
The bird which displays the most re-
n1arkable qualities in this struggle
which terminates the chase. exhibit
ing indeed a real fencing match, is
the secretary bird (Gypogeranus rep,
tlliyorus). He is the more interested
in striking without being himself
struck, since the fangs with which his
prey, the snake. is generally armed
might at the first blow give him a
mortal wound. In South Africa he
pursues every snake, even the most
venomous. Warned by instinct of the
terrible enemy he has met, the reptile
at f1rst seeks safety in fight; the sec
retary follows him On foot, and the
ardor of the chase does not prevent
him from being constantly ON guard
This is because the snake, finding him
self nearly overtaken, suddenly turns
round, ready to Use his defensive wea-
Pohs. the uilu stops, duQ luInS In one
OF ms wings to protect the lower
parts OF his body. A real duel then
begins. The snake throws himself on
his enemy. who at each stroke parties
with the end of his wing; the fangs
are buried in the great feathers which
terminate it, and there leave their
poison without producing any effect.
All this time with the other wing the
secretary repeatedly strikes the reptile.
who is at last stunned, and rolls over

The eagerness with which certain
members s-elect of the next legisla-
ture are trying to trot out ex-Sena-
tor Bowen for Wolcott's place, would
indicate that they want to get up a
fight to get something for their vote.
1t won't work.

The table of the official vote of
the county. published on the first
page, is food for thought. 1t shows
fair majority for the republicans
over all other parties combined. But
it looks peculiar to see that under
such circumstances the candidate for
congress should be in the minority.
The office of congressman more
than any other one affects legis-
lation, and it looks as if man who
is republican at all should be re-
publican on this question. The
first duty of all who believe in the
great principles of the republican
party should be to vote for a con-
gresham who will carry out those
principles. To vote against what
one believes to be the best interests
of our common country for mere
personal reasons or private obliga-
tions is unpatriotic and selfish.

1t is necessary in a country like
ours to have two great parties, and
those two will continue in the future
as they have in the past to be the
republican and democratic. Any
who expect the latter party to col

defeat will be disappointed. The
populist party has no elements OF
strength on which to found great
and lasting party.

FLAGSTAFF.

The town is beautifully situated about seven miles southeast of the San Francisco peaks on the Colorado Pla- teau. It is on tho main line of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, Santa Fo Route) 344 miles west of Albuquerque and S34 miles from San Francisco. The business of the railroad at thIs point is larger than at any other sta tion on tho road between Los Angeles and Albuquerque. It is also the ini- tial point of the Central Arizona rail- road, which is intended so run to Ben son via Globe, and which will pass through fine timber and agricultural section, us yet undeveloped
 The magnificent pine forests ot the county form one of the leading re- sources of Flagstaff. A conservative estimate by competent authorities places the stumpage at not less than 5000, 0,000,000 feet. Since the first saw-mill was established here in 1882, the average annual cut has been about l3,000, 900 feet. Yet so munificently has nature endowed the country sur rounding Flagstaff with tLis staple that the amount cut only serves to impress the observing with its insig nifcsncc as compared with the appar- ontly inexhaustiJle supplyyet standing in primeval dignity and pride.
 The Arizona Lumber and Timber Company have here one of the finest plants in the country, and produce five times as much lumber as all other mills of the Territory combined. They dispense through their employees about $500, 900 annually, which sum in its entireity is direct revenue to Flag staff.

COCONINO COUNTY
THE ONLY COUNTY IN ARlz0HA WHERE CROPS GAN BE RAISED WiTA-
 OUT IRRIGATION.
Rich Valleys, Broad Expansc of Tow ering Pines.-A Magnificent Cli- mate, Where sickness is Almost Unknown sheep, Farm ing and Timber Industries.

Coconino county was, till February, 1891, part of the original mother county of Yavapai. Approaching the needs of the country around Flagstaff, the legislature of that year passed an amicable act of separation, dividing the area into two almost equally sized counties. Coconino's portion of about l5,000 square miles includes the major portion of the Grand Canyon of the Col; orado of Arizona, extending north to the line of Utah.
 About two million acres of this eX- panse is covered with q dense growth of fine pine timber; naturally, therefore, numbering is one of the principal in- dustries. Cattle are reared by the thousand, and sheep in numbers almost beyond computation grazo on the yer dant slopes. Farming of late has be- come an important factor in the doyel- opment of the couniy's resources. There are many beautiful mountain valleys where farms of fifty to hundred acres have already been established, and the extension of the county's cultivated area is being pushed by intelligent farmers from the Eastern States.
 Within the county of CocOnino, of which Flagstaff is the county seat, are about 2,750,000 acres of fertile farm ing land susceptible of cultivation without irrigation. Of this vast area not more than ten thousand acres are under cultivation. Almost in the cen ter of this garden land Flagstaff is located. It is to her markets that the patrons of huSbandry must look for their supplies, and this is the gateway through which their products flow into "the markets of the world"
 The soil for the most part is a rich loam, containing the clements of sus tenance on winch cereals and potatoes best thrive. In an average season the yield of potatoes is from five to six tons per acre. Grain harvests are as abundant as in the rich fields of Kan sas and Illinois. The fruits of Oak Creek and those raised by the settlers in the rich region around Tuba City are equal in size and flavor to the picked specimens which grace the hor- ticultural fairs of renowned fruit-grow- ing sections.
 Of such land as is above described there is still quantity equal in area to the State of Massachusetts open to settlement under the homestead laws. It is safe to predict that within few years there will not be within Coconino county ten square miles of land having any agricultural value under the owner ship of the government. Resulting from this, a community of the utmost desiraLility will develop, of which Flagstaff will be the trade center and supply point.
