sheepmen Have Not Been So Unfortunate

James Scott, who has just COM
pleted the shearing of his sheep,
which were wintered on the desert
near the foothills east of town, re-
ports that his bands are crossing the
river at the present time. One of
the things for which Mr.. Scott has
reason to be thankful for is the con-
dition in which he found his animals.
The impression has gained some
headwav that the sheep were in very
poor condition. This, Mr.. Scott says,
is not true to a very great extent
with his bands. He reports that the
animals are in much better condition
than he expected and that they are
going into the hills In good condition.
The reports to the effect that the
northern part of the territory has
been visited with rains also came as
good news to the sheepmen who are
taking their herds in that direction.
The result of the clipping has also
developed that the average this year
| is I'D to the standard of recent years.

Southwestern May Have Coast Outlet.

A gentleman who arrived in Blsoee
from Denver states that on the train
with him was Stiles Lantry, a mem
her of the we'll known railroad con-
tracing firm, Lantry Brothers. This
is the concern which built the North
and South railway and has done most
of the work for the Santa Fe in the
west.
Mr.. Lantry stated that he was on
the way to Tucson and that his con-
Germ had the contract for the con-
struction of a railroad to Port Lobcs
on the Gulf of California from Silver
Bell. This is the road which was
planned by Frank Murphy OF the
Santa Fe and will give Tucson a close
outlet on the Gulf of California.
If, as has been stated, the Ell Paso
& Southwestern builds into Tucson
it would require but a few miles OF
track laying to make connection with
this road from Silver Bell to Port
Lobos and thus the Southwestern
would have d tide water outlet on the
Pacific coast.
1t is stated on good authority thai
the Silver Bell Port Lobos road vii
also make connection with Phoenix

Salt River Farmers Organize A Union.

Temporary organization OF salt
river valley farmers union, to be
affiliated with the national union OF
farmers, was effected at meeting
held in Phoenix last week. A cam
paign has now been started for the
formation of five local unions in the
various school districts of the valley,
aid as fast as they are obtained the
central union will be permanently
organized.
The meeting was called by I. I.
Powers, who acted as chairman,
while Charles V. Flack was secre-
tary. Later Mr.. Powers wasschoseu
president of the union, G. V. Guley
vice-president; Charles V. Flacs
secretary; C. NJ. Etter, director; ]. A
Higgins, business manager. a boaro
of nine directors was also elected.
Efforts have been made to organize
local unions in the valley school dis
tricts but with one exception-that o-
the Murphy district-the move wa
unsuccessful. 1t was then decided t.
start at the top, so to speak, by TEN
porarily organizing a central union
To permanently organize such a cen
tral union, five local unions must b
formed each with not less than 81.
members. 1t is believed that two o
three more locals will be organize
and that within short time the fiv
will be complete. After that dele

Baseball Game.
company

Arrangements have been COM
pleted by the managers OF the
Thatcher Academy baseball club Tor
a game of baseball between the
Academy and Clifton teams.
The game will be played on the
fair grounds in Stafford, Saturday
afternoon, April 9th.
As both of<these clubs shave been
playing good ball this season, a very
interesting game is expected by the
valley fans" who will turn out in
large numbers to root for their team.
The ella Valley Fair association is
planning for a matched game be-
tween the Clifton club and a valley
team. to take place at the fair
grounds the following day. The as
sociation will hang up a good purse
for the winning team.
1t has also been suggested that
third game he played by the two
teams making the highest scores OF
the two previous days.-Guardian.

u. S. Geological Survey Report Adverse
to San Carlos DamSite.

Advices have been received from
Washington to the effect that the
board of engineers from the United
States geological survey which was
designated by the secretary of the
interior some time ago to investigate
the data covering the San Carlos
reservoir site has completed its work
and has rendered a report to the
secretary setting forth its conclu-
sions. While the details of the re-
port will not, of course be made pub
lie until given out by the secretary,
it was stated that the report is not
favorable to the theory that the San
Carlos site is au excellent one; the
/ chief objections to it by the engiu-
GERS being, () that the bedrock con-
ditions are not good, and ~ that the
cost oe constructing a dam at this
point would be too great in proper
tion to the quantity of water which
could be made available for any irri-
CATION system under the reservoir.
If this news is authentic-and there
is no reason to doubt 1.-THE logical
conclusion is that the secretary of
the interior will, at an early day, ap-
prove the application of the Arizona
Eastern railway for right-of-way
through the Gila canyon-which will
assure the immediate construction of
| this line.
| 1t comes as no surprise that the
engineers of the geological survey
have made the findings as reported.
The engineers of the reclamation
service reached conclusions to the
same effect long ago. 1t is known,
however, that before the officers OF
the geological survey took up the in
yestigation they were of the opinion
that the San Carlos site was feasible
and more or less attractive. Their
findings to the contrary after investi-
cation confirms the soundness OF the
conclusions reached by the reclama-
tion engineers in the first instance.

Forestry Movement.

There is a concerted plan at the
present time to induce the ranchers
along the Roosevelt road between
Mesa and the Eastern canal to plant
some desirable shade trees, such as
eucalyptus or pepper, on either side OF
the road. The. results of such move
if successfully carried out are obvi-
oui. The Roosevelt road for long
time will be an important thorough
fare. 1t is the only way to the ronto
dam as well as for those who are TAX
ing a trip to the mountains for the
summer months. Upon the compile
ton of the oil hauling contract it
will mean the taking off of the heavy
wagons which are directly responsi
BILE for the chuck holes and other dis
agreeable features of smooth
track. While. there will always be
more or less heavy loads going over
the road, the amount will be consid-
erably lessened upon the completion
of the DAM.
Practically every land owner be-
tween the Consolidated canal and the
Eastern on the south side of the road
have signl6ed their intention of
adopting the plan of planting trees.
/ The Wallace ranch and the L. B.
johnson ranch and others are already
planted. The irrigation water for
the trees will be easily attended tC
as the planting will be done along the
lateral. The disposition of the
ranchers living on the north side OF
the road has not been determined
but it is presumed that a part oi
them at least would be willing tC
come in on the proposition. They
will doubtless realize the effect il
would haye on increasing the value
Of their lands as we'll as making the
Roosevelt road through the irrigated
district a boulevard.
It is known that the government
officials are heartily in favor of the
plan and have given it their endorse
ment. There is probably no othel
automobile road in the United States
over which more distinguished mer
have passed than that between here
and the dam. The planting of tree!
will make an impr ession that will b'
lone of gratitude to those who trave
that way.-Phoenix Republican.

Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism

usually confined to one side, or to the
back of the neck and one side. While
it is often quite painful, quick relief
may be had by applying Chamberlain's
