A question Of much Importance
awaits solution between Alpine,
Arizona and Luna Valley, New
Mexico. In 1887 to people of
Luna built a reservoir in the
lower end of Alpine valley and
have since used it, storing the
drainage water of Arizona and
then conducting it across the
New Mexico line for use. Since
then several reservoirs have been
built in Alpine and their owners
now question the rights of the
New Mexico settlers to take
water and store it in Arizona for
the purpose of conducting it into
another territory for use there.

Ncwsy Notes of the Southern
Part of the County

Special Correspondence.
The thresher is running in
Round Valley and it's manager
expects run of six thousand
bushels. In the early COS the
valley produced sixty thousand
bushels in one season.
Much grain has been ruined in
Greer bv the heating of stacks,
as it seemed impossible to get
the bundles dry and the farmers
took chances" on stacking it
any way-to their sorrow.
Joseph JepsOn has a steam
well-driving outfit at work on
his Alpine ranch in search for
artesian water. He hopes to
succeed there and later have test
wells dug in Nutrioso, Round
Valley, St. Johns and at Hunt.
Dry land farming is being
talked up a great deal in the
south end of Apache County
right now. There will be an
effort made to give it a thorough
test in Alpine and Nutrioso dur
ing the seasons of 1866.
Ben Slade has returned to his
home in Eagar, after a trip to
Globe. He states that L. j.
Brown has put his teams on to
the lObe-ROOsevelt freight road,
and that the Ben Crosby outfit
is out of employment, refusing
to work ON the Tonic dam at the
present government rating.
The intensity of the recent
drOuth is terribly dipicted in the
forests near Nutrioso and Alpine,
where fully One-tenth of the
large pine trees died for the want
of moisture. The leaves are still
in tact, though brown and scar,
showing that this was the year
that finally exterminated life

THE HA WKEYE FRUIT CROP
is HIGHLY SATISFACTORY

Des Moines, Oct. 6.-The Iowa fruit
crop has been very satisfactory this
year. This is the verdict of Secretary
Greene of the state Horticultural soci-
ETY.. The crop very considerably sur.
passes that of last year.
Apples were at least 60 per cent of a
crop. Winter apples are from Sd to
Sc per cent of a crop. Last year they
did not exceed IS or 36 per cent.
Prices, however, are not as good. Prob
ably they will net the growers $1.50 a
barrel this year. The crop. generally
