FORT THOMAS

One of Robert Knowles children
is very sick with pneumonia,
Mrs. j. A. Duncan and son left
for Hayden Sunday evening to visit
her parents. From Hayden she will
go to Ell Paso to see her sisters.
Mr.. and M. L. r. West and chill
dren were guests of Rev. Bland
Beauchamp last week. They are

After several days rest at the home
of Lloyd Willis, the Huntington

Paso in their big car, Mrs. Hunt.
ington was much improved.
Some weeks ago we suggested to
our people that wholesome support
of our Sabbath school by the parents
of Fort Thomas would mean more
than half a dozen officers of the
law sneaking about seeking whom
they could pinch. The saying comes
home to roost. The writer is that
officer of the law. No less than
three parties were here at his office
crying for action to stop gambling.
The futility of such request ought
to be patent if one would stop to
think of the fruitless efforts that
are being made in Incorporated
towns along this line. No Stree,
we cannot stop gambling. The boys
are about as we, as parents, make
them. Let us stop our meaness
then, maybe, we can, if the spirit of
our reform be genuine, do some
thing. Just day or two ago we
heard one of the leading citizens
say, in the presence of crowd of
young men, that poker playing
taught him when he was young how
to protect himself.

is then cured sound and well by one

goats. Apache was finished at 10
O'Clock and Cochise was entered
upon, Ed Hughes, assessor of that
county, being called as the party to
whom questions should be centered.
AS Cochise was entered upon, Har-
ry Heap, member, and William
Stephens, chairman of the Yavapai
board, arrived, both having been
absent at the opening of the session.
The Cochise rolls show 5000 acres
assessed at one dollar an acre to a
cattle company. Hughes explained
this land was a class known as cat
claw" possessing much rock and
hill. There is considerable more
such cat claw in Cochise than we
have on the roll. said Hughes. The
highest assessed irrigated land in
Cochise is a twenty-acre tract at
500, in the Huachuca mountains
known as orchard land. Il don't
believe any irrigated land in Cochise
could be classed the same as irrigated
land in Maricopa county owing to
the uncertainty of water" said John
Rock, a member of the Cochise
board. A total of 2l6,1 acres of
uncultivated land was assessed at
four dollars. In 1912 uncultivated
land was assessed at $1.90 showing
a raise in valuation of about two
and three. fifths. Dry farms in Sui
phur Springs valley were assessed
at three dollars per acre.
The question of assessing dry
farms brought about lengthy dis
cussion in which Campbell reported
such farms had been assessed in
Yavapai at $3.50 per acre. d. D.
Phillips, assessor of Graham, re-
ported the dry farms in the Graham
section of the Sulphur Springs val
ley were assessed at three, five and
seven dollars, and Gray reported
the same kind of farms were asses.
sed at from 500 to $100 in Coconino
county. Hughes replied he would
like to take some of the gentlemen
down and show them some Of the
so-called dry farms in Cochise.
Conditions are different in Cochise
and Coconino," said one member.
There is a lot of snow and moisture
in Coconino. farmers of that county
depending altogether on rain and
snow, there being no irrigation at
all. On the dry farms of Cochise
rain and SHOWS seldom fall showing
that the dry farmer of the north
has much better chance than the
southern dry farmer"
Land on the C. & A. ranch was
assessed at $50 per acre, and the
maximum in that of the st. David
valley was fifty dollars, replied
Hughes when questioned by Frank
Luke, a member of the Maricopa
board. In Cochise in 1918 the total
assessed valuation of town and city
lots amounted to So, ,89l 1886, against
81, ISL ,042 in 1912, raise of two
and one-sixth.
The Copper Queen store is consid-
cred the most valuable piece of
property in Bisbee. 1t was assessed
at $500 per front foot. its total as
sessed valuation being S71, 1928. 1t
was assessed to the Copper Queen
Mining Company. The Copper Queen
store in Douglas is also considered
the most valuable piece of property
in that city. Banks of Cochise were
assessed at more than twice that os
