FORESTS AND FRESHETS.
Were Cut Down ~ They Have
Been Since.

After all, the decreasing of the
country is not responsible for the
floods. There were more forests half
q century ago along the watersheds
of some of the tributaries of the up
per Mississippi than there are now,
Notwithstanding the tree planting
which the late j. Sterling Morton
started on the Nebraska, Kansas and
Iowa plains, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. A very high reach of
water was scored In the Mississippi
at st. Louis in 1911 and 1926. Probably,
although this is not certain, the river
was higher at this point in those
years than 1t win be in 1908. In 17s5
the rivers of the west were on such
q boom that that date is called the
''year of the great waters" There is
not much satisfaction for the resi-
dents along the Missouri and the up
per Mississippi to know that these
rivers more than once in the past
reached higher stage than they are
likely to closely approach this year.
But this fact tells us that the persons
who have been removing the forests
are not solely responsible for the
freshets. These occurred before the
axman made his appearance, although
the extension of the area of settle
ment makes the floods of the present
day vastly more destructive than were
those of 40 or so years ago. The ne
cessity for the invention of some
means whereby the surplus waters of
the spring and early summer months
can be stored so as to prevent de-
struction then and to be used later on
in the season is more urgent than It
ever was in the past.

ANOTHER RICH STRIKE
Two Feet of 500 Ore Found
at the Welcome

c. B. Genung, superintendent of
the Orc Concentrating Company's
property, brought in some rich
specimens Of gold ore Saturday.
Local mining people are very
much interested about the new
strike. Specimens have been horned
which show long string of coarse
gold in the pan. PROJECTORS vari-
ously estimate the value of the ore
at from $25 to 800 per ton.
This strike is growing in import
ance since the first report, because
continued work has opened up the
vein and shows that this rich pay
streak is about two feet in thick
ness.
Mr.. Genung is enthusiastic about
the property now. If this vein
proves continuous, and even if it
should not increase in size, the Orc
Concentrating Company will soon
be one of the most noted companies
in this section. With an ore body
carrying such high values and all
other conditions being so very ia
vorable the property can not fail
to be worked.
We congratulate Mr.. Genung
and his company on their good for-
tune.

HE IS AN OLD. TIMER
And He Saw the Southwest in
Its Palmiest Days

Charley Duesha of the Harqua
Hala country spent a couple ot
days here this eek. He is taking
care of some mining property be-
longing to himself and Hon. 0. L.
Geer.
Charley is man who has made
as much history as any other liv-
ing man in Arizona today. He
was, in the palmy days, large
sheep owner, and was one of the
principal figures in the great Tonto
Basin War. He SAYS that it will
be no trick at all for the Tonic
Basin dam to back up water for
thirty miles, and he knows every
inch of the country.
He is a very interesting charac-
ter. He could give the Pioneer So
ciety of the Territory some good
history that it can not now get
anywhere else. He has many times
been wounded, and has sent several
foes to the happy hunting ground,
but his many wounds have not left
him seemingly much the worse for
them, Notwithstanding the fact he
has passed the three score mark.
Few men, indeed could have fol-
lowed the ins and outs of Charley's
life and still be alive to tell the
tale.
He was asked if he had ever lived
at st. Johns: his reply was: "They
tried to make me live there, but
got bonds" He knows most of the
old timers around St. Johns, Hol-
brock, Winslow and other north
ern towns in the Territory and is
well known in these parts.
II Charley would write up his
life the book would rival in interest

Gilbert COnvicteG

AS result of the cutting of Met
CanfeId by Joe Gilbert, which took
place iu the Owl Saloon at Wick
ehburg recently, Gilbert has been
convicted of assault with a deadly
weapon. The story has been told
in full in the News Herald.
An Old-time quarrel was the re-
mote cause of the trouble, but the
fact that Mr.. Gilbert was full of
firewater was the immediate cause
of the trouble.
Mr.. Gilbert is we'll known in and
around Wickenburg, and has a
large number of friends who are
extremely sorry to hear Of his
downfall. He has an estinaable
wife and two or three small chill
dren. Mrs. Gilbert is visiting rela-
tiyes in California. w. J. Gilbert,
a brother of the unfortunate man,
is a prominent merchant and is

those who know Parson Black know
shat he is not ordinarily a very
heavyweight gentleman. He has
weight ideas, and lays weighty bur-
dens on peoples souls, but never
for a long time has he been such q
load on train. The cause Of his
great weight may be conjectured
when you know that on the 18th
instant, at Santa Monica, CAL,
there arrived new American citi-
gen whose surname is Black, and if
everything goes right he will be the
President of the United States
some time along in the 193Os or
'4Os. We do not blame the rever-
end gentleman for stepping high
and heavily, for the aforementioned
citizen will call the doctor papa as
soon as he learns the lingo.
