PRICES OF LAND.

Improved lands, with government title and water right, can be bought for from S2o to $50 per acre, according to location and inn provements. In the immediate neighbor- hood aud to the south of the Casa Grande ruins there are thousands of acres covered with a heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among the choicest in the valley. Water in inexhausti- ble quantity is found at a depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, river seems to be flowing underneath Here is splen- did opportunity to take up and improve land with a pumping system of irrigation, which is said to be successful on small tracts.
 However, with the completion of the Butte reservoir, pumping will be thing of the past, and it is only mentioned here for the purpose of showing what can be done, and to magnify the further fact that what was once considered

County Attorney Griffin, acting for
the county commissioners has served a
peremptory writ of mandamus on l..
G. Golf, trustee of Kiowa township, to
compel him to approve the bond of
James n. Green as roadoverseer for
district No. 2. This perenptory writ
is very unusual thing in law we un-
derstand. Usually an alternative writ
is served. All of this trouble could
have been avoided if the peremptory
writ of mandamus had not been issued
as Trustee Golf went to Medicine
Lodge to approve the bond. The only
reason he did no. approve the bond
when it was presented to him was he
could find no records of any road dis
trlcts in kiowa township and until he
could locate the districts he did not
want to do something which he might
have to undo. So far as Trustee Golf
knows he can find no record that Kio-

W. M. WALLACE AT KIowA.

If w. NJ. Wallace does not land it
will not be because he Is sparing his
efforts in making a campaign. He is
making an active canvass Of the DIS
trict and many of our republican ex-
changes are speaking very fav-
orably of his candidacy. His visit to
Klowa last week is said to haye been
significant, though the Journal tries to
cover his tracks by the following little
innocent item:
w. nj. Wallace of Kingman, was in
the city Friday enroute TO Medicine
Lodge, at which place he intended to
meet with the A. 0. U. w. lodge, driv-
ing from here; the inclemency of the
weather prevented this. however, and
he returned via Mo. p. to ANTHONY.
While here the journal was favored
with call.
The fact is that Wallace appears and
disappears at all the towns like the
magic Jack-in the-b box, and it IS worthy
of notice that he is taken into conf.
dence by all those whom Chester has at
some time given the marble heart but
with whom everything IS apparently
lovely on the surface again. His ap.
pearance at Kiowa caused quite f1ut-
ter among the gang there but it was
so sudden that the bird had flown''
before his presence was noised around
to a great extent. During his brief
stay in Kiows We learn that he was the
special guest of Harry Glenn Of the
Journal and that the two were closeted
together most of the time. 1t is known

they reluctantly chose the former. Mr..
Glenn was frothlDg at the mouth about
that time but it is all over now and
just at present he is posing as the only
simon pure article in the g. o. p. coun.
ellis at Kiowa, and even the post
office "cobbler" las Harry used to say)
has given him the glad hand and goes
out Of the road to punish the Journals
enemies. But, after all, it is more than
probable that Glenn is doing a friendly
turn for Wallace. The past, of course,
is buried and Chester may be a good
fellow IN the paper, but convince a
man against his Will and he's of the
same opinion still,'' especially when
the convincing is done with an elm
