he and his partner in the cattle bust

Mimi, were Kingman visitors this
week. Mr.. Eaton is interested in the
Cactus Coppe- Company, and also

Wagner's street spr inkler began
operations the first of the month and
already the effects of the sprinkling
is noticeable in the absence of dust in
the business section. As soon as the
new sprinKling device is received bet |
ter work will be done and more water
will be spread over the streets. The
people of the town will certainly ap-
preciate the settling of dust on the !
main thOroughfares and it will not be |
many months until all the streets will
be covered.
During the past week the entire
Wallapai tribe of Indians have been
out in the foothills gathering desert
currents. The fruit is being brought
into town in great bags, the Indians
having dried the berries and will use
them during the summer months in
the making of a refreshing Grink.
These berries are ground on a metate
to a powder and are then used in mix
ing a drink that the Indians declare is
delicious. Where the Juice is ex-
pressed from the fresh berry it pro-
duces an extract similar to that of
the kola berry.

De remarkable if they do not find some t
