The cat tie of the stock ranges are in fine condition and the increase this year Is absve the average. The only set back or i'll fortune the county has ex. perienced is that resulting from the Clifton-Morenci strikes, which have injured every section and every indus try in the county. as those mining camps are the market Tor the farm products of the valley. The farmers, as well as the miners, will realize that strikes are the worst things which can befail any community or section All suffer-no one is bene- flied. There Is not single godo re
 suit issuing therefrcm. This is now being realized by the hardy, win ing workers of the mining districts who were led out on a strike by those who wished to profit thereby, but at the expense or the industrious toilers. The time has COG min Graham county
