WILLIAMS, AR1z., FEB. II. '06.
| Dear Won and News Readers:
| For a month I've been threatning
to discharge in northeasterly d.
rcction, a report of my observations
and experience since becoming an
Arizona Kicker. And now l trust
you will not weary, while for my re-
lief, l outline to you few facts
about the great southwest.
Arizona is a territory of over
10000 square miles and has popu-
lation of about $4,000, of the latter
about eighty per cent is American.
The territory was acquired by the
United States after the Mexican
war and later by the Gadsden pur-
chase of 1852.
The southern portion is watered
(not drained) by the Salt, Gila, and
Santa Cruz rivers and their tribu-
taries and the chief resources Of
that section are farm products,
stock and copper, gold and silver
mining. The altitude varies from q
few hundred feet to several thousand
and as for the climate, the summers
are long, dry and hot and the win
tiers short and delightful.
The northern portion is a grea,
forest covered plateau, the altitude
ranging from $500 #. to 1900 it. ane
the average rainfall about twenty
four inches. The winters are delight
5 full, temperature seldom getting
: above ninety degrees. We have
: had here about two weeks sleighini
this winter but in general th'
weather has been fine. Grass il
places, is already green.
Forty miles south OF here at Jer
ONE, is the great United VERDI
Copper mine, owned principally b!
Senator Clark. Fifty miles furthe
south is the Prescott mining dis
trict and one hundred miles west il
the Kingman and Chloride district
}, The Colorado river drains tn
plateau, cutting it in two and roll
ing through q huge cash in tn
middle known as the Grand Can
yon, mile deep, thirteen mile
wide and two hundred miles long
at the rate OF twenty-five miles al
hour.
If Ed. Millisack were here I be
|lieve we could start to- night, taxi
about fifty miles of the Canyon t.
Washington and sell it to Teddy TO
his ithmian canal.
Williams is very good business
town, picturesquoly located on Gaia

south of the Canyon. The schoo

Importing Sacred Cattle.

The government has undertaken to
superintend the introduction into this
country of the sacred cattle of India
Tor breeding purposes, The reason
why these cattle are desired by cat.
tlemen is that they are immune from
pleuro-pneumonla, which has caused
such heavy losses through Infection
by cattle ticks. The ticks, 1t is as.
serted. cannot work on the sacred cat
tie. Experiments have been carried
on for years to demonstrate this fact.
The Introduction Of one-elghth of sa.
cred blood in the ordinary American
cattle Is said to be enough to obtain
immunity Secretary Wilson agreed
to AFFORD facilities for the importation
OF Indian cattle, but on condition that
a government veterinarian should ex-
anime every beast before II was
bought and give his approval to the
purchase. The expenses of the vet.
erinarian are paid by the cattlemen.

Prof. 0stien in Mexico City

THE REPUBLICAN, Is In receipt of a
copy Of The Daily Record" Mexico
City, in which l.. A. Ostien, OF this
city, is quoted in reference to the
worth Of "guayule" as conf pared with
rubber. "Guayule" is a sort of rubber
substance secured from Mexican
shrub something like our sage brush.
This particular kind Of rubber is
being exploited by certain mexicans,
and expressions from Mr.. Ostien, now
on his way to southern Mexico to
supervise the putting out Of big
rubber plantation, were Of particular

says:
IL. A. Ostien, assistant professor OF

College at ogaD, Utah, Is in the couD-

Company. Mr.. Ostien does not have
much faith in the guayue stories, as
he has had much experience with
other rubber producing plants In Colo
RADIO and Utah. In those two states,
there are several plants which have
been experimental on with more or
less success, and In several Instances

industry so that for several years no
further attempt has been made to
extract rubber from plants and shrub

To strengthen further his conviction
that guayule Is Of no use, Mr.. Ostien
states that he has heard several times,
and in each case on good authority
that the Rockefeller Jr, company
which has capital OF $50 900, 900 gold
and is established in this country for
the purpose Of working the guayule
rubber industry, is selling It's stock

So far as he is personally concerned
Mr. Ostien Is in the hope that guayule
is as valuable as its friends claim, for

price Of Sl.35 to sl.53 per pound OF a
fine grade, and with the price steadily
advancing, guayule would, in that
case. dill very Important place.
