Bad Accident While Hunting.

The community was shocked Sunday
last when word came that Bert Nor
ley had been accidently shot while hunt
ing in the woods west of the village.
He, with Roy Hale and Fred Wagner,
started hunting at noon and had gone
as far as the Flanagan farm when they
chanced to see rabbit running Hale
being ahead fired first, then Morley, and
as they missed Wagner turned to shoot
and in some way his gun. 80 caliber,
was accidently discharged before ready,
and the ball passed through Morley
abdoman and he dropped like dead. The
boys were horror-stricken and Wagner
Immediately came to town and sum
moned DIR. Henika, who drove to the
scene. A team was secured at the Flan-
agan farm and Morley brought to his
home. Drs. Morley of Viroqua, and Nc
Dowell of Soldiers Grove, were called.
An examination and consultation was
held and they expressed fears of his re-
covery. Al operation was decided up
on and proved successful 1t was found
that tae ball had passed through with
out vital injury. .-Readstown Herald.
The CENSOR learns that no fears are
now entertained for young Morleys re-
covery unless some unlookedfor COM
plicatiOn arises.

a D. Williams Writes Of Some Arizona Conditions
and Things.

Under date of February 9th. Fl. d.
Williams writes from Martinez, Arizo-
ma: 81 have been thinking perhaps a
little gossip with you would not be
aniss so will drop you few lines. We
are now 20 miles north of Phoenix and
in strictly mining district Arrived
at Phoenix about ten days ago. Our
stay at that beautiful city was enjoyed
very much. The days were delightful
perfect sunshine, a little frosty nights,
something unusual they say for this sea-
son. This is Arbor day for this part of
Arizona, by proclamation of the govern
or, and the first Friday in April Is Ar
Dor day for the northern part of the ter
ritory. You can judge by this differ
ence what wonderful climate this is,
the change in dates being necessary on
account of the climatic difference be-
tween the various sections of Arizona.
Stores, banks, capitol offices will be clos
ed; school generally, will be planting
trees. Arbor day is observed here as a
holiday more than in the east. A rain
is looked for, yvitGout which stock will
suffer. Only % inChes o, rain in the
territory in the last five years. Range
cattle are suffering for feed and water.
Phoenix is the center of the irrigation
district, supplies the many towns with
hay, bran and barley for stock. Alfal-
ia is cut several times year for hay,
yielding about two tons per acre at each
cutting, is cut from April to October
was 81 per ton then, now is $12 owing to
the great demand for it in lower Cali
fornia. / called on one farmer in Salt
Riius Valley who cut ten tons per acre
from a 40-acre tract the past season
Oranges are sweeter here than in Cali
fornia, and much earlier. The only
drawback can see to this country il
the heat of summer, often 100 in the
shade. Water for irrigation purposes
has not been in sufficient quantities Of
late years, but with the completion by
the Z. s. government of the Tonto re-
sorvoir, on which work is now being
done, water will be stored in sufficient
quantity. This great dam and reservoir
will be second only to the great AssnaT
dam in Egypt. 1t will create a lake oi
water 35 miles long and z miles wid'
