FARM AND RANGE
OF NAVAJO COUNTY

Hon. w. H. Clark, immigra-
tion commissioner for Navajo
county, writes for The Earth in
part as follows:
Never before has the cattle
industry been in so healthy a con-
dition as at present. All cattle
men in our county are successful
and rapidly increasing their herds
and at the same time building up
with better grades of stock. Ma
vajo county so far is one of the
fortunate counties in regard to
open range. However, this will
be changed before long for the
land owners are leasing large
areas to cattlemen, which in the
end means that the valley of the
Little Colorado will become one
of the greatest places in the
Southwest for fattening cattle.
On account of the cool nights in
summer, this section never has
an epidemic among cattle, and
has never been subject to quar-
antine. Out here where the sun
shines 365 days in the year, its
health-giving rays make it diff
cult to find a place more richly
endowed by nature for
stockraising than Navajo county.
The sheep industry has been
one of the county's industries
since its earliest days, and bids
fair to continue so for years to
come.
There are thousands of acres
of land in northern Arizona which
are not fitted for feed crops. This
area is fitted only for grazing
cattle and sheep, and to it these
animals are growing year by
year. From it they can never
be crowded by the homesteader,
or the rancher.
The railways are the arteries
of commerce and gradually we
see them creeping through the
state. line after line being con-
structed. At the present time
several projects are contemplate
ed in various parts of the state,
but the most impoI tant of all is
the proposed Navajo Southern
Railway in Navajo county, on
which construction will begin
this year. Starting at Holbrook
on the main line of the Santa Fe,
and extending seventy-five miles
in a southerly direction to a place
called Cluff Cienaga just east of
the village of Pinetop. Every
foot of the proposed railway will
be in Navajo county. The line
will be first class in every respect
standard guage, and a common
carrier. 1t will open the largest
pine forest in the Southwest, and
will mean the establishment of
large mills and lumber operations
which must cut fifty million feet
of lumber each year in order to
meet the requirements of the
governments Forestry Service
under which the company will
operate.
Throughout the Mormon set
Elements of the county the irri-
gated areas constantly are in
creasing. In consequence old
reservoirs have been enlarged
and new ones built. and it is said
that within the next year a ST.
600, 900 irrigation system enter
prise designed to reclaim so, 600
acres of land near the town of
Winslow, will be undertaken. If
built it will mean much to the
valley of the Little Colorado.
Financial institutions are the
weather vanes of commerce
showing which way the wind
blows. The little county of Ma
vajo with it's 10000 population
has four banks, all in a flourish
ing state, with combined resour-
ces of over $1,OOO,OOO. Before
the year 1900 our nearest bank
ing institutions were Prescott
and Albuquerque. Our bankers,

When Thanks Were Given.

Many years ago noted chief of the
tribe of Chippewa Indians while hunt

miles. The chase was long and very
severe, and the Indian was in the last
stages OF exhaustion from fatigue and
lack Of food and water when he found
himself on the top OF a wonderful
mountain, at the foot Of which nestled
a beautiful lake crystal clear. From
the surface of the lake trout leaped,
and upon the shore lay the deer he had
hunted Here We're food, water, fish

portunity. That the accident occurred
as a result of carelessness is thought
probable by persons who will submit
testimony to the coroner.
The ''lookouts" which held the stage
on which the men were standing, did
not break until after they hit the
ground, according TO some witnesses.
Wiggans was advised to place 200
pounds of bricks on the lookouts to
hold them in their proper position.
This he failed to do, II is said, and no
weight was added to the lookouts TO
keep them from tumbling from the
roof when Wiggans stepped on the
stage. The lookouts were borrowed
from painter, ]. NJ. Ranks, by Con-
tractor Haner, for whom Wiggans was
working. Haner knew Wiggans was a
veteran painter and did not think il
necessary to warn him against what
he supposed he knew TO be dangerous.

AVIATION OFFERS

Plans.

General Chairman Will H. Romey,

this morning that the committee was
in no hurry to close contracts for an
aviation flight, and that action would
not be taken for a few days, as none
of the aviators,' propositions was en-
tirely satisfactory
At present the proposition of the
Wright people is most acceptable,
since they agree to furnish an aviator
of international fame, Oscar A. Krink-
ley, who has an altitude record of H.
770 feet.
Flights for two days of the festival
will probably be given instead of on
all three. Secretary Jordan, of the
Commercial club, said that Brinley, or
representative of the Wright COM
pany, would be in the city some time
the last of the week, at which time
the contract might be closed
Industrial Exhibit Plans.
In connection with the industrial. ex-
hibit of the festival letters are now
being sent to the manufacturers of
the city asking their cooperation in
making the Made in Richmond" ex

The letter which was prepared by
Atwood L. Jenkins reads: There are
people in Richmond who have lived
here all their lives, and who are not
acquainted with the acquisitions that
have been made to the industries of
this city: there will also be thousands
of strangers visit our city during the
Fall Festival who may be interested
in your products, and We trust you
will participate in this exhibit, thereby
advertising your industry and i
dentally the city"
Continuing. the letter outlines the
plans for a large tent to house the
exhibit, an industrial parade, free
power and tent space for all exhib-
itors.
Further plans can not be made, Mr..
jenkins says, until the manufacturers
have indicated their attitude toward
the proposal. and for that reason he
is requesting them to communicate
with him at once.

make the other awards larger than in

President Wilson today summoned
Representative Flood. chairman of the

senate foreign relations committee, TO
the White House TO confer on condi-
tions in Mexico.
The deliCaey of the present situa-
ton enforced : policy of secrecy at
the White House, but it was asserted
that the purpose of todays confer
ence was to discuss the advisability
of removing the ban from shipment of
arms and ammunition to the constitu-
tionalists in northern Mexico.
General Carranva and other revolu-
rionists have been pleading for weeks
for the removal of this prohibition,
claiming that they are entitled TO the
same privileges accorded TO the Ma
derists" by President Taft.

1t is doubtful if any decisive move
will be made until after the arrival of
Ambassador Wilson, but it is practi-
cally certain that this government will
favor the removal of the prohibition
relative to the shipment of arms to the
rebels and then will await develop
ments in the hope of the establish
