 ALFILARiA-J. D. Marian yesterday brought to the board of trade room an alfilaria plant about three feet high. well branched and IuXuriant. It is on lv a specimen of the vast acreage of hin end daIe in the Cave Creek coun- try that is now covered with this fine forage There are many people, new corners !n Arizona. who do not know
 what alfilaria or "filaree" as the cow
 boys call it. is. and their curiosity will
 be gratified by calling at the board
 room and looking at this fine specimen. It is one of the most prolific and most
 important range grasses in Arizona
 and the sustenance in large part. of
 the Arizona range cattle. By the ten
 derfoot it really would not be taken for
 grass at all for it looks more like a
 large. jointed weed. It is however q delight for the cattle and as long as they Ike it t makes no difference whether # is 2 grass or a weed.
 QUAIL SHOOTERS AT WORK Complaint has bee mode that two or three parties were shooting quail west of town on Sunday and if evidence can be secured some arrests will follow. Sev- eral new deputies were appointed yes | terday by Fish and Game Commission | CT Pfnney. and these deputies have au- thority to arrest anyone found violat- | ing the game and fish laws. Doves are so plentiful that there is no excuse for anyone shooting quail. Quail are nesting now, and every one killed means fifteen to thirty less birds next fall During the breeding season quail
 are very tame, and afford easy marks
 for the pot hunter" it is not suppos- ed that any sportsman would shoot one during this time even if there were no law on the subject. Last spring and | summer were very dry seasons, and few if any young quail were raised; | this season looks well for a large in | crease if the law is observed. Quail season opens October 18th and closes | March 1. a longer season than in any other state and 1t certainly does seem | for the pot hunted" IL is not suppos- | enough shooting during the open sea | son to lost them. The fine for shoot | ing ouail out of season Is $100 and 1 costs, one-half of which Coes to the | person or persons upon whose testi- mony tl.e conviction is secured.
 SALT RIVER VALLEY ALL RIGHT M A Stanford has returned from a months trip through California devot- cI al--or+ entirely to travelling through the northern part of the state and in | localities of which much has been heard in late years as promising places for investment. He says he has seen a number of very prosperous and pro- gressive cities and towns and there are | pleasing inducements in some places But taking everything into account and properly estimating the indications for the future of this valley he found no place that appealed to him as more cer- tan or more desirable than this valley
 for either homes or investment. He
