SHEEP RAISING
BRINGS MONEY
FOR FARMERS
LARGE AND SMALL DRoVEs OF
SHEEP ABOUND IN ALL PARTS
OF THE coUNTY-THIs INDUS
TRY WILL DEVELOP MATERIAL
LY AND Is VERY PROFITABLE.

For years sheep raising in Washing
ton county has been q revenue-pro-
Queer for those men who had large
flocks of sheep which grazed upon the
natural pastures Of the county. This
method has been successful 1t is true
where the wild animals and the dogs
were not kept away from the lambs,
and the best results could not be OBJ
tanned, but Of recent years things have
taken a material change.
Now the large sheep owners have
begun taking an interest in their flocks,
giving special care to the young ones
and protecting the older ones as well.
consequently the profits have been
much greater. In the sheep raising
business the wealthy man who owns
large floci1s have no monopoly ON the
business, In fact the numerous far
mers who have only a small flock in
connection with their other live stock
are the ones who produce the most
wool when the shearing season comes
around.
There are hundreds of the farmers
who find II profitable to engage in the
sheep raising business on a small scale
for the sheep do not have to be fed
even in the winter months, the native
pastures being sufficient at all times
to keep the sheep in the very best
condition, and from the pastures they
IN the very best shape.
Demand For Mutton.
Packing house men In all sections
Of the country readily agree that the
demand for mutton is on the constant
Increase. frequently they cannot sup
ply the demand and the government
statistics show that sheep-raising in
the west is on the decrease. With other
!. sections producing less and the de-
mand increasing the sheep-raising in
7 dustry In Washington county ought to
appeal to the farmers Of other states
who do not find It profitable where
they are now situated.
Increasing values Of lands in the
west Is unquestionably the reason for
the decrease in the wool supply and
mutton sold to the packers. This same
condition will confront the Florida
ranchers within q score Of years unless
they acquire some of the large tracts
Of cut-over lands which are now going
af q sacrifice since the saw-milI men
have gotten all out of them they pos
sibly can.
Conservation of Lands,
There is q fortune awaiting some
man or set Of men who will buy some
ten or twenty thousand acres of the
cut-over washington county lands
fence 1t and establish a sheep ranch
From the beginning the sheep raising
feature Of the project viii be a money
maker, the pastures viii become bet
ter. the game in the river swamps and
highlands will become more plentiful

Around Chfpiey, Vernon ara Wan
sau the territory is called Northern
Washington, or to be accurate that is
the part of the country which your
mind pictures when Washington coun-
~ IS mentioned. Washington county
with her pecan trees, fields of oats,
corn and sugar cane, acres of water
melons and white fields Of cotton IN
the early fall is now acting as a mag
net to draw the farmers of Alabama,
Tennessee and Georgia as well as the
farmers of Indiana and Ohio or from
the other states where conditions are
not 80 favorable.
Because the planters Of other states
have lived In bIissful ignorance of

the only excuse for an uncultivated

the county where the lands yield

The plan for an intercoastal water
way has been conceived and worked
out, and will be made effective just
as soon as the people demand it.
How to Secure Appropriations.
Appropriations for the purpose must
come from congress. Congress is COM
posed of the senators and congress-
men from the various states. These
representatives of the people listen to
their constituency. 1t is practically a
waste of time for a Florida constitu-
ent to write to q Georgia senator or
congressman, or for a southern con-
stituent to write to a northern senator
or congressman, asking either to sup
port a measure. If the people inter
ested in Washington county who have
friends or acquaintance residing in
other states of the Union, would have
those friends and acquaintance ad-
dress congressman and senators from
those states, urging that they support
specifically the Improvement Of the in
land waterway between Choctaw-
hatchee Bay and St. Andrews Bay, for
illustration, the result will come much
earlier. 1t is not sufficient to try once;
try repeatedly. The more populous
parts Of the country are using great
influence and hard work in order to Sc
cure appropriations for those districts.
With a Democratic president, we can
fully expect the largest development
of southern waterways. not because
they are southern, but because they
need attention and should be developed
as part Of the development of the
whole nation.

ing out of the provisions of act 65 and the passage of house bin No. 9. and carries into effect the provisions of section of article x Of the con stitution of Arizona An answer in the negative is a repudiatiOn of the clear. express and solemn contract and agreement between the state and large number of its citizens.
 By the terms of the bill. the pay ments for the land are extended over period of time, the state receiving at the same rate of interest which state and territorial bonds bear. As each annual payment is made, the in- terest of the purchaser increases in the land and he is compelled to pay tax to the state upon the amount Of his interest. This taxable interest gradually increases from year to year until the state has parted with its title when the owner is required to Pay taxes upon the full value of the land
 The bill is prepared in the interest of the poor man. the man who from early morn until late at night has given the best years of his life in order to endeavor to make himself a home. and help make Arizona what she is today. one of the foremost and progressive states in the union
 The state cannot enter into indus trial pursuits and would be required if it dealt in fairness to purchase improvements upon such lands at an appraised valuation. Let the members of the legislature practice the fair ness and justice so many of them loudly proclaim, and deal with the school land lesSees as they have right to expect, namely. that the inn prOvements placed upon the lands shall be appraised and the lands shall be appraised. and that they shall be SCld to the highest and best bidder in conformity with the constitution.

Yuma Senator Said to he Engaged in Frying Its Foundations
 Loose.

In these days when one thing hap pens right after another. it is well for all good patriots to be on guard. The fact that one locks the hem house door affords him little as surance that there will be a bullet left in the coop next morning.
 It was rumOred last night. though the story could be no more definitely traced than that of the Tucson slush fund. that MT. Vessel of Yuma was engaged in placing sllids under the state capitol and that announcement would be made in the senate today that he proposed to take it over to Tucson
 This may all be 9 joke but thefe have been practical jokes before now that were not the least amusing Anyhow it will be well to keep an eye on MT. Vessel and see that his flrtations with the Pima delegation do not develop into serious affection.

PICTURES OF
 BORDER WAR
The Show That Was Edged Off the Boards Here Last Fall by Other Attractions Now Comes on Picture Films

During the state fair last fall tha l01 Ranch Wild West show was billed to appear in Phoenix, but fearing that this counter attraction might prove detrimental to the gate receipts at the fair the commissioners had the date of the show cancelled. It will be remembered that the show man. agers changed the time of the com ing of their circus and had the bin boards redecOrated, the second date falling on Sunday.
 The license had been granted by the city fathers and the IOl Ranch Wild West show was on the way, when the WOman's club and several other or ganiZations discovered that the at traction was due to perform on Sun day. The fact was called to the at tentiOn of the mayor and council and the license revoked, and the people of Phoenix failed to see the great az gregation of wild and woolly western CTS. who are the only real rivals of Buffalo Bilrs show.
 The 101 Ranch ShOWmen are real cowboys from the range, and real In dians, and during their winter rest in the mountains of California, they posed for moving pictures known as the 101 Bison films, putting on in the foothills among the cactus and wild verdure a drama depicting early war fare as it existed years ago between the immigrant trains and the redmen. The old canvas covered wagons with their loads of women, children and household goods drawn by teams of patient oxen or tired horses, the families of the forty-niners, the men on foot and the guard beside them. are shown to the life.
 These films were secured as the feature for Thursday and Friday eve nings at the Coliseum, one of the vaudeville and picture shows of the city and caused much favorable com ment at their first exhibition last night The pictures are very fine. clear. and large and without blur, and give an intensely interesting view of the suffering and hardships of the western pioneers.
