Inc southwest presents a variety of topo-
graphic features, and many of its economic
resources are closely related to them There
Is great range in altitude with corresponding
variation in climatic conditions. One of the
most salient features is the wide, high plateau

GUS volcanic peaks. notably San Francisco
peak. which is 1851 feet above sea level.
To the east this district merges into an
Irregular series of high plateaus, constituting
the western half of New Mexico.
TO the west and south it drops by huge
steps into the great region of desert valleys

wide. long plains, lying between mountain
ridges OF varying lengths and heights, ridges
which are all very rocky anu mostly treeless
and trend north and south.
Dfagonally across southern California there
extends the long curving ridge of the Sierra
Madre and San Bernardino mountains he

There are two great rivers in the south
west, the Colorado and the Rio Grande. The
Colorado river has been compared to the Nile
and the similarity is notable. Both are
streams of the first rank, rising in high noun
tains, and finally crossing broad region of
semitropical, nearly rainless deserts Both
empty into in nearly the same latitude
and their lower courses are through wide del
tas of fertile soil. The annual overf1ows add
new sediments fertile with plant food and at
a time favorable for the crops
The agricultural capabilities are closely
similar, but while much of the lower Nile val
ley is utilized the Colorado valley is lust be-
ginning to be settled. The watershed area of
the Colorado, with It's two head branches. the

Few persons who travel across the south
west realize that in Arizona and New Mexico
there are enormous forests of valuable tlmDer
and that the numbering Is an important INDUS
try. In both territories there are several large
forest reservations, and one of these IN Arl
IONA, the Coconino forest, with nearly o'oOo
square miles, is the largest single reserve IN
the United States. The total forest area re-
served In Arizona is 15,250130 acres or more
than "a 900 square miles, and in New Mexico
there are 1871, I'll acres, or more than 1900
square miles. Southern California also has
several large reserves.
The Coconino forest in Arizona occupies
part Of the great plateau in which the Grand
Canyon is cut, and extends to the brink of the
canyon.

Chicken Thieves Caught,

Deputy Sheriff Arthur B. Suit brought
to Jail here on Wednesday night Gar
field Smith, John Smith and Louis
Stewart, colored, chargedwith stealing
chickens from Charles Lynch, Cedar
Heights, in Kent district. These men
are supposed to be the gang or part of
the gang that has been operating in
Kent district for several years. The
circumstances which brought about
their capture have not been learned, but
it is surely very commendable of our
present sheriff force. as all kin ds of
schemes, such as tying bull dogs in the
poultry houses, and fastening shotguns
to the doors, have been tried by the
residents and were of no avail. They
have stolen hundreds and hundreds Of
dollars worth of chickens and the citi-
zens in that neighborhood have had to
give up raising chickens almost entire
ly on account of them.
They were committed to Jail and will
be given a hearing before Justice
Ridgley on Tuesday morning next.
