 STRAIGHT TO THE POiNT-A great many seekers after information concerning this valley, know what they want but don't know exactly how to ask for it. Thereupon they proceed to ask lot of questions that it would take a book to answer and still miss the main points. It is therefore quite pleasing to note an inquiry of another sort, one from a man who knows what he wants and wastes no words in ask ing for it. He is a railroad man in Wyoming and railroad men generally get down to business right away quick. He writes to the reclamation service officials who have turned the inquiry over to the Water Users asso- citation for answer Here is what he says and all that he says: Please advise me how can get home east" Yours respectfully, etc.
 A SUSPECTED COW THIEF-John Thomas a Pima Indian is in jail sus- pected of cattle stealing although the only evidence against him consists of a lot of COW tracks. Deputy Sheriff Adams vas on the south side yester- day morning and complaint was made to him by Tom Dennis the owner of a lot of cattle that three of his animals had been stolen from the pasture field. The deputy found the tracks of the missing cattle and they plainly led to the corral of Thomas eighteen miles away. But the cattle were not there Thomas was at home. He at first merely denied any knowledge of the cattle and a search in which all the Indian police of the reservation joined, was made and extended as far as the Gila bridge. The only cattle seen were the small Indian kind. The matter could not be dropped however and John Thomas was brought to town On the way here he told a little more about the affair, explaining the COW tracks that led to his corral. He said that he had cattle in the same pasture where those of Dennis were kept and had taken them home. He was not prepared to prove his story though as his father and another Indian who had accompanied him on the cattle drive were at the upper reservation.
