SNOW STORIES

If there is living hodag in the entire central mountain range of Ari- zona-a fact which has been some what disputed of late-that animal is at present holed up and hibernat- ing in some snow covered hiIIocb. But this is no hodag story It is a narrative of snow and snow and snow.
 No one comes down from Roosevelt or over from Globe or in from the hills these days without lifting his hand to a point approximately so high from the floor and straight facedly declaring it's that deep where he had just been traveling The nearer usually remarks: You don't say" and the narrator makes further affirmation.
 The latest snow story is one tha comes from Peyson, which is to the rim O the rocks on the ton
 the Mogollons. S Y Humbaugh. a rancher from the country immediate ly contiguous to the little city of PeysOn takes solemn oath there is more joyous snow on the flats near his place than ever before-in the history of the observations of the oldest inhabitant. Two feet it mea- sures right out in the open where there are no whistIing winds to pile it up and give false depth.
 But there is another situation in connection with that" The temper ature. It has not been so uniformly cold on the hiiltops for a long stretch of winters. This is an excellent thing for the little patch of mois- , ture that nestIes in the bectIing hills near Roosevelt city For cold win
 
 snow on the protected mountain tops and this in turn will insure a large run off in the spring There may not be any Chinooks lowering over the hills of the central Arizona range. but that is a mere detail. Of springs. there is always q warm wind that's just as good for Salt river valley purposes as any Chinook that was ever named in an Earnest Seton Thompson nature book. The spring breeze makes the snow melt fast It accumulates in soggy, slushy masses in the ravincs. and then turns to wa ter with a rush that sends il down the canyons so fast it has no time to tarry and become food for un- dcrEround springs. It hastens down into the rivers, caused the gages at the intake to suspend operations tenn 1OfJllN ana the reports beSlH Io come in with the words. Salt and Tonto in flood, penciled on the mar gins. Because the water comes so rapidly that it has no chance to sink into the thirsty ground. it becomes flood This is a condition which the farmers Of the valley should wish for with a mighty Wishfulness. Un- like floods in general, the bigger and more foodIike the run off in the mountains may be, the larger ii pOsit in the water bank.
 So the snow continues to pile up Travel is a little uncomfortable. and the hodag crop may be nipped by the frost, but all the time the hills are being burdened with a weight of snow that means more prosperity to the valley of the Salt and a bigger addition to the acre feet content of the reservoir.

still due at this port. The Purinton
Bros. Co has two barges on the way
one of which, the Pennypack. is ex-
pected up the river, today (Friday1,
and the other the barge Pickering,

The Augusta State hospital also has

barge which brought coal for the
Purinton Bros Co, for the year 1sl2'
was the Pocopson. which arrived
Dec. I. but she was towed down river
again. Dec. 9, after only 100 tons had
been taken out of her. The alarm
felt that she might freeze in for the
winter proved groundless, for the
weather came mild once more and the
river was not closed with Ice Tor
