When water hole dries up, they can fly to the next one. If they could be train ed>to carry canteens, they would do even better.

 Hon. Wiley Jones, the irrepressible, was in the city few days since. Wiley is nothing if he is not a poll tician. Almost any old place on the Democratic machine is good enough for him. Occasionally he bosses and names his price for the job. but there are times when he walks track and does little 3allasting on the old Andrew Jackson roadbed. He has been a resident of Graham county for many years, and has always been numbered among her foremost and most influential citizens Yuma Sun.
