from time immemorial occupied by
myriads of crows as winter rendez-
vous and lodging place and which is of
marked interest to strangers who have
never visited such place. There is
law against shooting or in any way dis
turbing them. So while the country
around them is rapidly growing more
populous and noisy with the loud voice
of industry they live on from year to
year unmolested and in fearless enjoy

gone, and further provision has been
made for them by noble hearted wo-
man who died a few years ago, leav-
ing a permanent fund to supply the
,rookery with food during the coolest
weather of winter. Every morning at
early dawn during the winter the crows
leave their home and go north in a long,
dark stream that spans the whole arch
of the sky and is lost in the purple haze
of the distant horizon.
After a fight of 20 or so miles they
begin to scatter and alight in the de-
serted wheat and corn fields of western
Ohio and Indiana, where they spend
the day foraging for the waste left by
the farmers. In the evening they re-
turn in the same sluggish tide, which
! becomes more and more compact as
they near their place of rest.

wbere to wear a watch.

That watches should be get-at-able-
that is, worn in place where coats,
buttons and tapes need not be undone
nor pulled asunder to probe them from
some remote region-has long been the
desideratum of women, and now that
the problem is solved many will rejoice.
The neck, some clever one has thought,
is quite as secure hiding place for a
watch as the waist. 1t is also worn
more uncovered in these days Of open
coat fronts and bodices buttoned up
below the chest. Many watches, there
fore, are now simply dropped down I'M
der the stock collar, and that they may
not fall too far below it they are at
tached to a short, heavy gold chain,
perhaps five or six inches long.

a Reasonable Solution of the
Forest Reserve Question.

We have been informed that
manv of the fair minded citizens
OF the Salt River Valley, who
have given the forest reserve
question study and careful in
vestigation, are disposed to dis
continue their opposition to the
grazing of live stock on that
part of the forest reserve which
slopes toward the Little Colo
rado river, realizing that this
section in no way affects their
water supply.
This is gratifying news and
we hope that the breach of pub
lie sentiment which has appar-
emily been widening during the
past few years has commenced
to close and that in the near
future we will be working hand
in hand for the best interests of
all concerned.
The honorable secretary of the
interior called upon the depart
ment of agriculture to assist the
department in solving this prob
lem, by making a thorough sci
entitic examination of the effects
of grazing IN the different forest
reserves.

Arizona reserves during the past
summer were men of high stand
ing and unquestioned ability and

Irrigation in Congress.

If the leading minds of the
country were asked to seriously
discuss tha topic: "What is the
greatest question in the United
States awaiting solution?" it is
probable that a very few men
living east of the Mississippi
would think of national irriga-
ton" in this connection. To
most of such the subject is new
and unstudled. It will bear
study; it will bear the most
searching scrutiny, and the more
studied the more it is seen to be
aquestion of exceptional breadth
and of truly great possibilities
and far reaching importance to
the nation.
The query that many eastern
people are now making is: What
is this irriga tion problem before
Congress? Is it legitimate one
for the government to consider?
Is it one whose support will be a
benefit to the country? Along
what lines is it drawn? In short,
is it a question of really nation
al import?
It's western advocates, regard
less of political affiliations,
claim that it is the most impor-
tant national question to-day.
Eastern legislators, regardless
of party, are inclined to smile
broadly at this assertion.
HOME BUILDING.
If the internal history OF the
American republic is studied
carefully, however. the conclu-
sion will be reached that nation
al irrigation, properly wrought
is likely to shortly come to the
front as one Of the most impor-
tant national questions OF the
day. It embodies, in its truest
sense, the question of home
building, and the American peo-
pie have been, up to the present
time, essentially a nation or
home builders. In no country IN
the world is the desire for home
building so strong. The wish to
own and have and live in homes
has led thousands of Americans
