Some Good
Roping

The rOping skill of Jas. V. Parks
was put to the test here last
Thursday when Henry Sullivan's s
horse slipped the bride from his
head at the hitching rack and
started on a 2::40 gait homeward
up Main Street with the buggy.
Mr.. Parks followed on horseback
with lariat in had and soon over
took the runaway and with the
skill of a vetran roper captured
the runaway horse and came
leading him back into town with
out break to buggy or harness.
The whole affair presented a real
nice exhibition, but it looked for
a while as though there would
be nothing left of the buggy.

Gavit's Surprise
Party

Ten citizens of Arizona came
to Washington to see if they
could do anything to help along
the admission Of Arizona as a
state. They wore the regulation
hats, with the four dents in the
crown, and bore a letter of in
PRODUCTION to John P. Gavit, the
Washington Press. Chairman
Gavit was glad to see them.
His letter intimated that it might
be a good plan to extend a little
hospitality to the Arizonians, and
he led them to the nearest place
where hospitality of the kind he
imagined was meant was pro-
durable.
''What'll it be, boys?" asked
Gavit cheerily, thinking to hear
from his companions a unanimous
demand for red liquor.
Instead, each of the ten de
corously took a cigar. Saturday

Mr.. Kerby has gone to the
trouble to carefully make a copy
of each piece of property listed

the respective property owners as
they appear on the Assessment

which may have creptin the long
and tedious work of preparing an
Assessment Roll.
This is the first time such copy

part of the Territory, and so far
as we know it is the first time
any County Assessor has gone to
this vast amount of trouble in
order to save trouble, worry and
expense on the part Of the tax

shown a disposition to be perfect

What Those Who Feed The

(Business-Farmer)

has lived in the upper ella Valley
22 years and says he lives there
because he has never found a
better place to live, nor a place
where a man could make a good
living as easily as he can in this
community. For a number of
years he was in the cow business
but seeing what good things were
to be had by farming he is now
devoting all his attention to agri-
culture. This year he has in
cultivation about 40 acres.
J. L. Leonard, of Duncan Ari-
zona is an old Sprinfield, Illinois
man. About a year ago he NOV
ed to the Duncan country and
commenced fixing for an orchard.
He now has about 40 acres set
out in apple and peach trees. Mr..
Leonard brought some of his Illi-
nois emery with him and since
locating has been doing things.
Henry Tippets, of Franklin,
Arizona, is devoting most of his
time this year to truck garden
ing. Mr.. Tippets says he can
raise two crops of Irish potatoes
a year and that Is and Is pound
heads of cabbage are not unusual.
Mr.. Tippets has quite a lusty
young orchard and says the pea
ches, plums and apples when not
killed by early frosts do fine.
Some day he will buy a few smud-
ge pots and then the frosts will
not bother him.
w. F. Meyers, of Franklin,
Arizona, has 80 acres in alfalfa
this year and expects to get from
4 to 5 cuttings. Mr.. Meyers has
been living in the upper Gila
Valley for about seven years and
is well pleased with the country,
and is confident as to the future
of this neighborhood.
Mr.. G.. w. Johnson, of Duncan,
Arizona, has about 20 acres in
cultivation. All in alfalfa and
grain. Mr.. Johnson has been in
the upper Gila Valley for the last
13 years and while he says that
as much as $500 an acre can be
made from garden and small
truck, yet it requires too much
work to suit him. He can make
money so much easier from
other crops which require less
labor that he passes the truck
farming up. Mr.. Johnson has
about $50 acres not under culti-
vation. the most of which will he
brought under irrigation when
the High Line" canal is con-
tructed, naturally he is interest
ed in any movement tending to
secure this canal.
Mr.. James: Gale, of Franklin,
Ariz., is an honored and venera-
BILE old pioneer with whom it is a
pleasure to talk. Mr.. Gale, has,
like all pioneers had many ups
and downs, but no matter how
tough things have come he
has presented a brave front and
cheerful disposition. He start
ed the Model canal. the canal
which irrigates practically all the
land now under cultivation on the !
west side of the river and has
seen the velley settle up with a
hardy, thrifty class who are rapid
ly changing the desert into one
of the most fertile farming Sec
tions to be found in any land.
Mr.. Gale has about 80 acres in
this year, and proud
ly claims to be the champion Irish
potato grower in the valley. He
prefers the red Willare or the
Early York and plants his first
crop in February, harvesting in
July and replanting in August.
