FROM AN INDIAN LEGEND
Tradition of the Origin of Corn,
 Wheat and Tobacco


 Il have been favored with an Indian tradition concerning the origin of to. bacco, Indian corn and wheat, which, although you may have seen It before, l shall relate" said the poet Laureate of all the Pascagoulas at the Grune- wald yesterday.
 "At some distant period, two Indian youths, pursuing the pleasures of the chase, were1ed to remote and unfre- quented part of the forest, where, be- ing fatigued and hungry, they sat down to rest themselves and to dress their victuals. While they were thus employed the spirit of the woods, at tracted, as it is supposed, by the unu- sual and savory smell of the venison, approached them in the form of q beau tiful female, and seated herself beside them. The youths, awed by the pres ence of so superior being and struck with gratitude for the cOndescension which she had shown them in becom ing their guest, presented to her in the most respectful manner share of their repast, which she was pleased to accept, and upon which she regaled with seeming satisfaction.
 The repast being finished the fe- male spirit, having thanked them cor dially for their attention and informed them that If they would return to the same place after the revolution of twelve moons they would find some thing which would recompense their kindness, disappeared from their sight. The youths, having watched the re- v0lving moons and having returned at the appointed time, found that upon the place where the right arm of the goddess had reclined an ear of Indian corn had sprung up under her left a stalk of wheat, and from the spot on which she had been seated was grow ing flourishing tobacco plant. .''-New Orleans Times Democrat.

THE WORK AT T0NT0 BASIN
Nobody There Doubts That the Dam
 WiIl be Built

A Livingstone correspondent of the Phoenix Republican has this to say in regard to progress being made at the Tonto reservoir:
 No one who is familiar with the operations which are being carried on at the reservoir site at the present time doubts that in the course of a few years the people of the Salt river val ley will reap the benefit of magnit- cent system of water storage. Consist ent progress is being made in every department of the work connected with this project, and those interested may feel perfectly safe in discrediting any rumors or reports to the contrary. Practically everything which has been done so far has been preliminary to the construction of the dam and the other permanent works connected with the reservoir. The work has been so planned that when the time comes to take up these large pieces of construc- ton everything will be in readiness to carry them out to the best advantage. Much of the preliminary work has been done, and as many men are being em- ployed at present as can be used to advantage. Consistent progress is be- ing made on every hand, and there is an atmosphere about the whole enter prise which inspires confidence.
 Work on the telephone line is being pushed as rapidly as possible, The poles are now set to the top of Fish creek hill and the wire men are not far behind. Contractor Thorpe went over the entire line last week with Mir. Hill and has arranged for the work on the upper end of the line to be commenced at once. Most of the material is on the ground and the poles are being distributed.
 The pipe line from Cottonwood can yon is nearing completion, aud in a few weeks the camp at the damsite will be independent of the river, which so far has furnished the water.
 Two forces of men are at work on the new Globe road, and in a short time that highway will be ready for use. This road leaves the stage route six miles above Livingstone, and takes nearly direct route to the damsite, skirting the south boundary of the reservoir. When completed all the freighting from Globe will be done over it, thereby saving distance and avoiding sand and heavy grades. A small force of men is working on the canyon road and has reached a point some five miles from Fish creek. The entire line is surveyed, and large force will be put on az soon as the Phoenix people say the word.
 The stone maSOns on the cement mill have been taken off pending the set clement of the cement question. A small force Is still working on the hill, but their work is confined to excava- tiOn.
 The sawmiIl on the Sierra Anchas is running to it's full capacity, and the lumber is being utilized as fast as it can be hauled down.
 A temporary electric plant has been installed at the damsite, and it now furnishes light for the camp. It will also furnish power for the electric drills, which are to be used in tunnel construction.

AFTER ALV0RD AND STILES
W, (. Greene Places Price of s 10, ,OOO
 on Their Heads

Colonel W. c. Greene has taken the field against Burt Alvord and Billy Stiles. two of the outlaws who escaped from the county jail at Tombstone, by offering reward of slO,OOO for their capture, dead or alive.
 This amount has been placed Tn escrow at the bank at Cananea, and as soon as any individual or number of individuals makes good claim to the big reward it will be paid them on demand.
 The Mexican government has de- cided to assist in the capture in two ways. The first is to send each post master in the state of Sonora number of pictures of the two outlaws with instructions to distribute them among the people.
 In addition to this they have given certain Mexican peace officials the power to deputize foreigners by word of mouth, who will take the field and search for the two outlaws
 At this time fully 300 Americans have been made officers for no other purpose than to hunt down the two desperadoes, who are believed to be in the northern part Of Sonora.
 The last heard of the two outlaws was near Fronteras, when Stiles rode up to the house of Mexican woman. She was aware of the efforts being made to capture the two men, and placed Stiles on his guard This was about four days ago. Since that time no authentic news has been heard of the two men.-TucsOn Post.
 The Venture Hill has started some important work in drift that is be. ing run to cut what is known as the Apex ledge. Joe Larson is doing the work under contract.

SOUTH MUST STAND FIRM.

Hon. Harvie jordan of Monticello,
Ca, president of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association, has issued the
following address to the farmers of the
South.
Shall the South quietly surrender to
the dictation of q few Wall street gam
blers in depressing the price of our
great staple crop last week from nine
and half to seven cents per pound, or
will they rise in their manhood and re.
fuse to submit to this unholy sacrifice7
The bearish bureau report issued from
the department of agriculture on Dec.
Bird, indicating crop of 1916, 900
bales, gave the spectators the OppOr-
tunity they had been praying for, and
in less than 30 minutes nearly S30,OOO.-
600 in value was strnck from the pock-
cts of Southern farmers. The bureap
report exceeded the eexpectatiOns of the
most extreme "bear" speculators, and
but few we'll posted men in the South
believe for a moment that the yield
this season will never reach the high
estimate placed upon the crop by the
bureau. That report was based upon q
theoretical acreage of about 81, ,OOO, 900
acres, and indicates yield far in ex-
cess of that indicated by the amount
census report. Either one or The other
OF these reports is wrong. The gin
ners' report is based upon facts as as-
certained at the gins, while the bureau
report as issued last Saturday is guess
work. The recent heavy depression in
the price of spot cotton has been caus-
ed by 9 lot Of gamblers and specula-
pound of cotton. Every dollar's loss on
cotton sold at present pricee will go In
