to work and doesn't get home till late;
nor ever try to shirk in order to be
great. There are some fellows who
will try to do their business tricks
and have finger in the pie of city
politics; they try to put on lots OF
style and play heavy role. and In
little bit O. while you find them In
hole! like the man Of steady pace.

desire to place more irons in the fire!

crops will be produced in that state
by means of this method. So far but
little has been done in this valley In
the way of experimenting along the
lines Of dry farming, but considerable
has been accomplished in cultiyating
the soil by means of irrigation, pump
ing water to the surface for that pur-
pose. The Arizona university is now
making some dry farming expert
ments on the Bauer ranch eighteen
miles north of Douglas and the result
of this experiment will be watched
with much interest by those who have
come here and taken homesteads in
the valley. That there is an abun-
dance of water beneath this valley to
supply all the moisture required for
cultivating the surface is known to all
and should it ever happen that fuel
can be supplied at a pr-ce within
reach the sulphur Spring valley would
at once become one OF the richest az
ricultural valleys TO be found in the
west and would produce enough farm
products to supply double the present
population of Arizona.

wagons, tore the roof from his barn
and demolished the rustic bridge

For nearly an hour 40 men labcred
TO capture the enraged animal. Forty
bullets were sent into his side and one
into his right eye, and he was finally
taken when he stepped into chain

tened to his legs and he was tied to
trees in corner of the park.
After returning to the park from
