Arizona republican., 1905-11-27

Father Adams cattle, that in the dawn of creation arose in early morn ing from their beds by the gurgling brooks of Paradise, could not have been more attractive than the punches of Morris & Gibson's cattle. appearing at the creek opposite the station at early morning, while their cattle of the or dinary Arizona range breed are in as fine condition as possible, they do not instantly arrest attention as do the tShorthorns of Logan Morris. mentioned lin a former communication. These small-boned compact, straight t-backed critters are now nearly incomparable. The other morning specimens of all of Morris and Jas. Gibson's cattle showed uD at the creek, near Houck 5 store, and as if conscious of their per factions, made a pains taking parade of themselves. Along with the ordinary breeds that have always been here, and comprising the most of M. & G's. cattle there were some yearlingS, two. three and four-year- old Shorthorn cat tie. I can't see how any stall-kept and grain and alfalfa-fed stock on the ranches can excel these shorthorn crit ters raised on the range; and l re- spectfully suggest to Messrs. Morris and Gibson, the proposition of eXhib iting, not choice, but average speci- mems of these I have mentioned. It has been five years since Logan Nor TiS brought up here and turned out on his range about forty head of young Shorthorns, along with a thorough bred bull and he is here yet, naughty old aristocrat. That breed surely stood three years of drouth and famine with less loss than the ordinary breeds They are not crazy stampeding and wasting themselves as do the ordinary breed. They are intelligent, lazy and save every pound they accumulate, and though they may need more rid ing care, they recompense any extra care bestowed on them. MT. Morris seemed to have foreseen the passing of great cattle herds and five years ago he began the experiment of smaller holding of shorthorn stock, and devoting to them more riding and of shifting them from one to another part of his big range. Range cattle men would like to see just average spec imens and learn from Morris at the fair, his method.
 The Linvilles recently dipped their goat herd at Houck's place specially fitted for dipping. The scab was not bad. They deemed it best to begin treatment before the scab became se- rious. The Gants, or some parties from Tonto or Bloody Basin this last week drove an unknown (to me) number of goats to Phoenix or to Glendale for shipment east.
 Madames Butler and Lethrage, both distinguished looking widow ladies, are among the arrivals since our last let ter. The first is the mother of Mrs. Rabbit, mentioned heretofore. Mrs. Butler is uncomfortably healthy and will remain here all winter Mrs. Le- thrage is on the invalid list, but com ing her in time seems to be rapidly inn proving. The above ladies find that there is nothing so solacing and cura- tive for feminine spirits temporarily depressed by sorrow and sickness as an atmosphere like this. absolutely dry, and laden with floral perfume, and glowing with color.
 Dr. Beauchamp and a young gentle man by the name of Strang, and both of Fort Wayne, Ind, are also recent ar rivals here, intending to stay during the winter. Such is the intention of MT. Strang on the invalid list, while the doctor will deliberately and leis- urely look about for place somewhere in this county to locate permanently as a practicing physician.
