Arizona's Offer

There's a place called Arizona That for many years in vain, A standing ankle deep in dust,
 Had been praying hard for rain. There's "The City of the Angels" By the sunny western sea; That hired a man to break the
 drouth
 For a thousand dollar fee. Can't say what others suffer
 From this scientific way, But Arizona has been drowned
 For six months, every day. And standing deep in water,
 All sick with cold and cough; She will give thousand dollars If they'll call the fellow off. By c. o. Case, of Phoenix, in Los
 Angeles Herald.

For Use of Arizona CattIemen

The Deming Headlight sounds a timely note of warning concerning that dread disease of cattle known as "blackleg." It asserts the pref erence of the disease for warm weather and fat cattle, on good pas lures. The disease itself is quite fatal, about 90 per cent dying among the animals attacked.
 James A. Kinnear, a chemist of Deming, has formulated the follow ing prescription, which acts as both preventative and cure, and which through the medium of the Head light he offers to the cattlemen of the country free:
 First prepare a sufficient num- Der of strong boxes. sufficiently deep to admit of there being set firmly in the ground, with about four inches above the ground. The boxes should be tamped firmly so that stock cannot knock them over.

DENVER LIVE STOCK MEETING
Most Important Meeting of Stock
 men Yet Held

hS AhSOeih6 OA GAO hhlOl lCdh Stock Growers association in Dem yer, May 9th to 18th, promises to be the most important meeting of stockmen ever held in this coun- try. The big fight in Denver last January over the reorganization of the National Live Stock association has had the effect of making the producing stockmen red hot and they are coming to Denver by the trainload to show where they stand. The sheep and cattle interests are standing shoulder to shoulder in the fight and they insist that there be no compromise. The executive com- mittee of the National Live Stock association will meet here at the same time with the express purpose of securing peace, but the stockmen are in no humor to talk peace. They want to fight. They regard the reorganization of the National Live Stock association as part of deep conspiracy on the part of the pack CTS and railroads to absorb their organization. They insist that the national association is dead and that the new organization will take it's place.
 The Cattle Growers interstate executive committee is called to meet in Denver May 8th. This or ganization consists of represents tives of the various state cattle or ganizations and was organized year ago. The sympathy of this organization is all with the new association and it is probable that some plan will be perfected whereby the executive committee of the American association will combine all the outside organizations, giv- ing representation to state associa- tions. The plan of individual mem- bership as the basis of the new or ganization, however, will probably not be changed.
 The indications now are that there will be at least 5000 people in attendance on the convention and they will be the representative cattle and sheep growers from all over the country. The railroads have made a special low rate for the convention and there will be trainloads of stockmen from all over the west. As the officers of the American have made a special request that the Denver people do not interfere with their business by entertainments, there will be no program of entertainment. The local committees will provide music and place of meeting, and the stock men will be permitted to conduct their business without interference. |-Denver Stockman.

Indian Life on the Santa Fe

Glimpses of the southwestern tribes of Indians are caught by every traveller to California over the Santa Fe lines. But there is one place at least where they may be seen and even studied without the least inconvenience.
 A short distasee from Fl Tovar, the Santa Fe's new hotel at Grand Canyon. is the Hopi house. Not competing hotel, but a stone and adobe structure. for all the world like an Indian pueblo; and SO it is, in miniature. If you ever attended the snake dance at Oraibi you may have seen on side street the orig inal of these picturesque buildings.
 Those quaintly garbed Indians on the housetop hail from Wolpi; perhaps you are so fortunate as to see Nampeyo, the most noted pot tery maker in all Hopiland.
 Here are Hopi men, women and children, busy with their odd hand icrafts. These gentlefolk live in rooms little and low, as befits their small statured occupants They are making "piki" (Indian bread :, or twining the raven black hair of the girls in big side whorls, or building sacred altars, or mending moccasins-doing a hundred un- American things.
 It is almost as good as a trip to the province of Tusayan, the land of the snake dance, and much more comfortable, for there is no desert to cross.
 In adjacent "hogans" are tall, taciturn Navajos; smooth-faced and keen-eyed Bedouins. File of Ga nado, the most famous blanket weaver of the Navajos, now makes her headquarters at the Grand Canyon.
 A band of Supais, wandered from their Cataract Canyon home, will offer you basket, or entreat you to look at one of their babies blink ing in the wooden cradle on it's mothers back.
 These three tribes belong to the Grand Canyon region and are a great attraction for Canyon visit ors.-The Earth.

Under a law passed by the last legislature an annual tax must be paid on dogs, $1 on males and $2 on females. The tax must be paid by May 1, or the constable will gather them in, and if the tax is not then paid it is his duty to kill them. All money collected goes to the school fund. If the consta bles do their duty the school fund will increased at least a million dollars. This applies to unincorporated tOWna
