FISH STORY MAY BE TRUE
 BUT II IS UNVER|F|ED
On Ones veracity Is Doubted, but
 This Is Big One.

A large party foregathere at Granite Reef Sunday and enjoyed 9 jolly day of sociability and fishing. There are plenty of fish to De caught and they are mostly of good size, but the only proof of the pudding is the eating likewise the finny tribe. and so far tales instead of the reality are the only vouchers to be obtained as to the accuracy of the story.
 However. here it is: It seems that aIr. Hamerick, the estimable repre- sentative of Doris on the south side, was one of the most ardent sports men: he fished and he fished and finally gave a yell that resembled a war cry of the Comanche Indians. This brought D. M. Le Baron to the scene and Hamerick yelled. Grab me. grab me. or I'll fall in" Mir. Le Baron is somewhat sturdy himself and he grabbed" while Mir Hamerick hauled in on his line, and the result-so they say-was one of the biggest fish ever caught in those waters. Both men say one man could not have landed the fish alone. and that there were several Of about the same size-but as has been quoted. 'the proof of the pudding is thes eating Among those who were at the Reef were MT. and Mrs. Williamson. Zan Hunsaker and son son. w. N. Standage and son Dick. E. G. Lyda, D. M. Le Baron and Mir. Hamerick.

And to be doubly saie' parties of the officials drove along the lines about one hour before the power was turned on and in one place found q Mexican standing on the cross piece among the wires looking for stray horses. just as did the unfortunate Chambers.

It is a very dangerous practice to climb electric power poles, particularly the iron ones, and every one knowing of this danger would be conferring benefit to man in general if he notify the people who do not ap- preciate the hazardous risk they run in using the power line to further their own designs.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Sunday party of three rode into Mesa from Phoenix on horseback. They proceeded to regale themselves with ice creams and sodas. and ap- parently enjoyed the trip greatly. But they tied their horses to a railing. did not loosen the cinch or water them. but left the poor animals in the hot sun for an hour or so, then remounted and started back for .he capital city. Maybe they did not know any better. but surely common sense would teach person that horse needs water and rest after doing such a distance. the same as a human would. At any rate. 1t seems a piece of uncalled for cruelty, and if people cannot take bet ter care of animals they should not use them.

I other rule: Ascertain the available
slope of the drain and the valume of
F.! water to be moved.
When the drain is constructed, if
there are any places where the slope
! is greater than at others the water
! will flow more rapidly at those places,
but the water will not get away any
| more rapidly than it flows at the flat
| test place. and so we should make the
drain of uniform slope if possible. 1t
| is true also that crooks and bends in
q drain obstruct the flow, and a drain
should be made in as straight line
as possible.
Open drains when constructed often
become INSTRUCTED by flowing silt,
| falling turf and growing vegetation,
and besides they are a serious an
noyance in cultivating land and de-
stroy considerable portion of land
! that should raise good crop with less
labor in farming Where it is pos
sible to use covered drains, they are
| less liable to obstruction, the land is
saved from loss and waste, and good
/ crop is grown where with an insight
! " hole with weeds on its banks.
Then let us make the rule: Always
use a covered drain if possible.
Nature has wisely prepared the sur
| face of the earth so that in most
places there are planes of more or
less pherical surfaces with natural
slope in some direction. These slop-
ing surfaces intersect each other IN
| all manner of ways, but the intersec-
tions of the lower edges make con-
| tinuous water courses toward some
river or natural body of water. These
natural courses are liable to become
overowed because the water nat
urally seeks them Water will not
| cross these courses to see a dram
! somewhere on the surface s'oplns' 10
it For that reason it is needful to
| locate drains near the natural water
| course and these of necessity are
often crooked and meanderlng. Dut
there is no reason why the drains
i on the sloping surfaces should not De
in stright lines, parallel with each
other. and it is much better to nave
them so, as it gives uniform results
and systematic work. Then we would
/ saw: Locate the main drains along
the natural water courses. but make
| the lateral drains as nearly as posi-
hle parallel with each other. even
enough though you disregard slight
unduIations of the land. Lay them
tout SO they will follow the line or
greatest fall, only modified to a rea-
sonabIe extent to keep the lines par
! allel and avoid, acute angles at the
junction.

It is quite possible to look always

Indeed if you will notice, you will see
that the Weather class of people-al-

the extreme styles and cast them AZ lie

1t is the shop girls and the working
women who think they must keep up
with every extreme of fashion, and to
do it they buy this year cheap suit
and next year another cheap suit, in
stead Of one good one to last two years.
