Music and Yigor-A Difference.

Many muscular men succumb to fa- tigues borne with ease by persons far their inferior in physical strength. Mus cle does not imply vigor. In fact, 1t is not difficult of proof that athletes do not live as long nor enjoy as good health as the average individual who is vigorous that is 10 say, whose digestion and sleep are unimpaired. whose nerves are tranquil, and who has no organic ten dency to disease. These requisites of vigor are conferred upon those lnher- ently weak, no less than upon thor ough. persistent wasting disease, by Stomach Bitters, the leading national tonic, indorsed and recommended by physicians of eminence. It will not en- dow you with the muscle of Corbett, but it will infuse energy into your sys- tenn, and renew the active and healthful performance of it's functions. It averts and cures malarlal, rheumatic and kid ney complaints, and oyercomes dyspep- sia, constipation, liver trouble and ner- vousness.

Quite 8 snow storm visited this section last Saturday night. About three inches on level having fall en during the night. Altogether the snowfall during the winter has amounted to fifteen inches, equiva- lent to an inch and quarter of water. all of which has gone into the ground, If we can have as much more during the next sixty days, it will insure early and good grass. With good rams in July and August, 1894 would be pros porous year for our farmers and stock raisers.
 Since the above was written and Tn type, we have had another snow fall of about two inches. The more we have the better for the country.

We have been informed that in Lee Valley, in the southern part of this county, snow lays to the depth of two feet on level. Those who are we'll acquainted in that section, say that this indicates from four to six feet in the mountains. Four feet will furnish an abundance of water for lrrigating purposes. If we had storage reservoirs of suffi- cient capacity to impound the water that will run 10 waste down the Little Colorado the coming spring and summer 1t would irrigate all the available land below this place, and support a population of 25,OO0 people. Apache county of fers better field to-day for the in- vestment of some of the idle capi- tai of the eastern states than any othern section of the southwest. Within her boundaries there are moro natural reservoir sites that can be utilized with an outlay of less money and thatswiIl reclaim more and better land, than can be found in almost any other section of the arid country. Money invested in such enterprises would be paying investments as long as crops are grown or time lasts.

The following from an exchange
 applies so aptly to our town that we cannot refrain from reproducing it: The best way to build up town is to stand by each and every one in the town who does right. When ever man is doing we'll do not tear down. All the residents of a town ought to be partners, not op- ponents. In all likelihood the more business your rival does the more you will do. Every business man who treats his customers hon. estly, courteously and fairly will get his share, and the more busi- ness that can be secured by united

The rule which has for years con. trolled the Territorial Prison of giv- ing prisoners credits of so many months each year for good behav- for, it seems is not in conformity with the law, The important fea, lures of the law which is a condi- tion precedent to allowing credits is that the prisoners must work so many hours each day.

There is an attempt being made to organize another water storage company in St. Johns. The site they have in contemplation is about three miles south of St. Johns, and it is said, that with an expenditure of about S5,000 there can bo made a reservoir that will enable our farmers to more than double their acreage of tillable land. There are several small ranches, however, that will have to be purchased be- fore the water can be turned into the reservoir. Some of the land which would be flooded IS patented and the rest has been settled upon for number of years. The own CTS should be willing to sell at a reasonable figure, as the reservoir would be of great benefit to the en- tire community.
