At Flagstaff

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.. Oct. o7-The great
bane of this country is the scarcity of water.
Since the foundation of Flagstaff the bust
ress portion of the town has been supplied
with water from the railroad. But during
the past few weeks the water in the tank
has been so scarce that that source of sup
ply has been discontinued and the railroad
company itself has not enough water to sup
ply its demands. For that reason at the
present time the very heavy traffic on the
road at times is delayed. The spring about
eight miles south OF town, which is the
source of the railroad water supply, is grad
ually drying up, by reason of last winters
lightness of snowfall in the mountains. The
country generally is now suffering from a
lack of water and snow is anxiously looked
for.
The Saginaw Lumber and Milling COM
pany of Williams has been in a peck of
trouble of late. Its attorney brought an ac
ton for some kind of an order which would
permit the Saginaw corporation to build
logging railroad over a valuable reservoir
and dam site just south of the town of Will
liams, and owned by the Owens Bros. Com
missioner Keller decided he had no power
to act and denied bill of discovery. There

The people of this vicinity have been meas
uraby injured by great forest
now raging just north of the San
Francisco peak. 1t has burned over con-
siderable extent of territory and a great
deal of valuable grass and timber has al
ready been consumed. 1t is now raging in
the heart of the San Francisco mountains,
which are included in the San Francisco for
est reservation, of which Flagstaff is the
center, and about 60 miles square.

Arizona Horse Conditions

As satisfactory as has been the improve
ment IN the grade and condition of cattle in
the territory, the same improvement has
been noticed in the horses Of Arizona. When
horses were bringing good price, about 1888,
the stock breeders, both of the valley and
on the ranges, imported some very fine
stations from the south and east; saddle
breeds from Kentucky, as found in Den
mark, Montrose and Bluebell families: run.
ming breeds Of the Bonnie Scotland and
Longtellow descents, and PAGERS of the Tom
Hal stock from Tennessee.
Exceptional advantages are offered for
horse breeding in Arizona. An Arizona pro-
ductlon, Zambro, has created fine impress
sion On the Pacific coast for successful breed
ing in the Salt river valley. Good horses al
ways comamnd a profitable raising price in
Arizona, even though the value Of COW
ponies has fallen from $50 to SIS each. The
day OF the Mexican pony and scrub horse has
disappeared IN the southwest. Range feed
Is getting too valuable. In the last few
years large numbers OF horses have been
killed TO get rid OF them and for their
hides and bones. In some localities they
have been led to hogs. Last year such horses
could have been bought for SO head Now
there are too lew Of them in most localitie.
to round up for slaughter, but the day of
their doom has come and their increase will
not be permitted. Except for their hides
aud bones. they are valueless, for they can
not be shipped to any horse market and
bring cost Of shipment. Even the war with
Spain failed to create any demand whatever
for such animals, tough and wiry and accli-
mated to a hot climate as they are. But in
strong contrast to the disappearance OF the
common range broncho is the progress
toward thoroughbred horse raising Tor driv-
ing and work purposes on the farms near
Phoenix, and the number of good saddle
horses raised on the best conducted ranches
OF Pima, tochise and Graham counties. The
successful raising of good horses will be a
feature of Arizona's progress.
