J. A. Nash received word Monday
from Mrs Nash who is in California,
that their daughter was getting along
nicely. Among other things she enclos
ed clipping from one of the daily
papers which reads as follows:
Southern California got good soak
ing yesterday; it also got little hail in
places, and great deal of snow on the
mountains. Up in the valley there was
hail, rain. thunder aud lightning. A
short distance from Bakersfield 5000
barrels of oil belonging to the American
oil fields was struck by lightning and
destroyed by fire.
Fourteen inches of snow was reported
low down on the mountains near San
Bernardino, and fall Of similar ampli-
tude was reported from the mountains
back of Pomona.
A heavy snowfall, ranging from one
to four inches, which fell in the foot
hills above Monrovia during the last 4S
hours, has delayed indefinitely the work
of the federal forest service in building
government trails in that vicinity.
Construction of the Mount Lowe Mount
Wilson trail has been abandoned. The
white blanket covers the mountains for
miles, and snow even fell lin the lowlands
near Los Angeles.
Mr.. Nash never was great adinirer
of California and this report convinces
him that Audubon county, Iowa, is
good enough for him. Its good thing
Mr.. Nash feels this way about it for
Audubon county is so used to him that
it would not seem like Audubon county
without John A. Nash.

Potato Growing in Iowa.

Next weeks issue of The Iowa Home
stead will contain the story of how one
young Iowa farmer snatched failure
from defeat by planting crop of pota-
toes when the cutworms had taken his
corn The experience of the one season,
coupled with bright intelligence and
acute observation, led him to take up
the raising of potatoes as a speciality,
becoming at oncea specialist and money
maker This article is right in line
with those which appear almost every
week in The Homestead. The Home
stead and this paper are dubbed toget-
her at the rate of 81 90 per year for both

1912 Lives Are Lost.

More than 1872 persons, it is feared
when within four hours after she crash
ed into an iceberg, the mammoth White
Star line steamer, Titanic, bound from
Liverpool to New York on her maiden
voyage, went TO the bottom off the New
Foundland banks. OF the approximate
ly 2lS0 on board the giant liner, some
of them of worldwide prominence. only
$50 are known TO have been saved The
White Star offices in New York, while
keeping up hope to the last, admitted
that there had been horrible loss of
life
Accepting the early estimates of the
fatality list as accurate. the disaster
is the greatest in the marine history of
the world. Nearest approaching it in
magnitude were the disasters to the
steamer Atlantic in 1873 when SAT lives
were lost, and to La Bourgogne in 1898,
with fatality list of 511.
The names of John Jacob Aston, Isa-
dor Straus, the millionaire merchant;
George B. Widener of Philadelphia,
Maj Archibald Butt, aide to President
Taft Francis ID. Millett, the American
artist William I Stead, the London
journalist; Benjamin Guggenheim and
Colonel and Mrs. Washington Roebling
are among the more prominent names
missing from the list of the saved.
The picture that inevitably represents
itself, in view of what is known, is of
men like. John Jacob Aston, master of
scores of millions; Benjamin Guggen-
helm of the famous family of bankers;
Isador Straus, merchant prince;
William T. Stead. veteran journalist;
Maj. Archibald Butt, soldier; Washing
ton Roebling, noted engineer-of any or
all of these men stepping aside and
bravely, gallantly, remaining to die
that che place he otherwise might have
filled, could perhaps be taken by some
sabot -shod, hawl,enshrouded, illiterate
and penniless peasant woman of Europe
Thus the stream of women with tod
ding infants or babes in arms. perhaps
most of them soon to be widowed, filed
up from the cabins and over the side
and away to life. The men-by far the
greater part of them = remained to die,
millionaire and peasant and man of
middle class alike, bravely. it must
have been. sharing each other fate and
going down To a common grave.
OF the survivors, what? Their story
of peril and suffering with the revela-
tion they will furnish of just what hap
pened on board the stricken ocean giant
pictures which will leave the imagI-
nation nothing to draw upon--still re-
mains to be told. How quickly they
will be able to tell it and clear up all
the mysteries of identity which the
carrying capacity of the Carpathia' 5
wireless has left the world in doubt,
seemed to depend largely upon atmos.
pheric condition.

cial medical aid for his affection, and
though at times his condition was much
improved, the general decline of years
meant for him a final rest from his
sufferings, which he had so long and
patiently endured He was very appre-
ciative of the kindly care of those who
so untireingly waited upon him in his
last illness.

Yesterday morning while one of our
business men was out of his place of
business for few moments, someone
took his gold watch out of his coat
pocket. The chain was not taken but
was left on the coat which was hanging
on a coat rack. The watch is valued
at $50 and was present given him by
his wife. The man in question is not
able to determine whether the watch
was taken as a joke or whether it was
deliberately stolen The party who
took the watch is known and if it is
not returned this week prosecution will

Notice to Clean Up.

The time of year has come to cleanup.
There are some streets and alleys that
need it very badly. The board of health
committee will make theirannual round
very soon. See that all manure, rubbish
and all other distractions or unsightly
or odorous substances are removed
from your streets and alleys and lots
and save the committee the trouble of
serving you with a notice. If such is
not done, it will be removed by the city
at your expense. That will cost you
more than if you attend to the matter
yourself. Let US have clean city

POSSIBILITIES OF
THE COLORADO

Viewed from the benefits de-
rived the Colorado it is the most
important of any river in the
United States.
It is bordered by millions Of
acres of land possible to cultiva e
if the river was used to irrigate
them.
BY blasting the mountain sides
into its narrow canyons it is pos
sible to make it a series of lakes.
Lay .inclines over these dams
to pass small borts and make it
navigable to bring out the ores
it's banks contain.
Use the power generated at the
falls to lift water to the high
plateaus.
1t has the appearance Of being
possible to make a fill of ten or
fifteen hundred feet by using a
short bend and filing from out
side and topping from the inside
of the curve.
Then tunnel through to put water
into the Gila and so irrigate a
large part of Southern Arizona
and excepting the tunnel the ex-
pense would be small.
All persons admit the vast
benefit to be gained by the irri-
cation Of these acres and would
say go ahead, only they do not
care to pay to help people in whom
they have no interest.
1t can be done with inconveni-
ence to none and benefit to all
kinds of business by using re
sources now idle.
There is now vested in the
government this collateral which
could be used as a base for i'm
provement notes, and notes based
on it would pass dollar for dollar
with those on gold.

NORTHERN PART OF
STATE Is GROWING

That northern Arizona is the
best part of the state is the as
sertion of w. A. Parr, one OF
WinsloWSs prominent citizens
who is a business visitor in Phoe-
nix today. The Winslow man re-
marks that he doesn't like to say
tha, southern Arizona is no good
but gets around that, by saying
that Navajo county and Coconino
county are both better.
Winslow and Navajo counties,
according to Parr, are going
ahead very rapidly. The last cen
sus gave the railroad town a pop
ulation of twenty-five hundred.
The town is now over three thou
sand strong and increasing every
minute. The Santa Fe is actively
engaged in building shops and a
round house that will mean an
expenditure of five hundred thou
sand dollars in WinsloW. When
this improvement is completed
Winslow will have close to a
thousand more employees of the
Santa Fe than it now has.
Beside the activity of the Santa
Fe, the stockmen of the country
are all in the best of shape. For
the third time within thirty years
snow has remained in WinsloW
for week. This condition assures
the sheep and cattle owners of
the valley and excellent spring
and summer with abundant grass
and water. There is much build
ing going on in Winslow. Besides
the Santa Fe construction, the
Elks' have just completed the
erection of a $500 home, which
will be dedicated on Wednesday.
Other buildings are in process of
erection there and Winslow as a
whole, is one of the busiest towns
in the state. Mr.. PARIS slogan is
