| consideration what Is shown there
together with a possible previous
impression that all Of the state is
either rock, crag or. desert, the
following description Of the inland
empire found in Apache county
comes as a distinct surprise.
Apache county is supposed to
be largely sheep grazing county
which as matter of fact it is,
but also there are agricultural
sections in the county that need
not take a back seat for any sec
tions in the state. The State Land
Commission examined the county
but a short time ago and in a re-
port to Governor Hunt, described
the county in the following Ian
guage:
"Outside Of the White Noun
tain Indian Reservation, outside
of the Sitgreaves and Apache Ma
tional Forests, and outside of the
Navajo Reservation, Apache
county is mainly a grazing coun-
try. Over it's miles and miles of
broken and rolling mesas, cloth
ed from sparsely to luxuriantly,
with cedar and juniper, and al
most everywhere showing signs
Of the volcanic upheavals which
one time strewed the plains with
lava, many thousands of cattle
and horses and sheep Craze on
gramma and other wild grasses.
Except in seasons of extreme
drouth it is a good grazing coun-
try, where the stockman have
generally prospered, and where
money is now being made in the
business.
mot the entire county, how
ever, is grazing land. Flowing
from the White Muontains at a
point near the New Mexican line,
the Little Colorado meanders
down from the heights and pur-
sues it's course northwesterly
across Apache, Navajo and Co.
conino counties to a junction with
the Colorado. From the east,
where it rises on the New Mexi-
co Indian Reservation of Zuni;
comes the river Of that name to
join the Little Colorado near the
town of Hunt in Apache county.
The valleys of these and a num-
Der of small tributary. streams,
chief among which may be men
toned Nutrioso, Coyote and Con-
cho creeks, are generally in a
state of cultivation, and though
the awakening has been slow in
coming, there is ait last a draw
ing realization that these streams
and valleys are pregnant with
agricultural and" horticultural
possibilities. In all probability a
few years will work a marvellous
transformation in what has gener-
ally been regarded as q grazing
country exclusively.
''The orchads already in exist
ence demonstrate conclusively
that few sections are better adapt
ed to the growing of apples,
peaches and pears, while the
grain fields of the Little Colorado
and it's tributaries can hardly be
excelled:

first eight men who faced him In an
important game. and he later struck
out IL other men during the nine
innings.
And these men were all crack play
ers. many OF whom are now stars In
the western leagues. In that Idaho
season Johnson was the slab artist IN
fifty-seven straight games in which
not a run was scored off his delivery.
So you see he got the habit early!
After that feat Johnson applied to
various smart managers Of the clubs
in the big cities. But they wouldn't
even give him a trial. They were dis

seen him pitch few innings. That
Washington is now one OF the lead

due in large part to the skill OF the
western recruit.
When Johnson made good from the
jump there was woe among all the
Napoleonic managers who had turned
him down. But his steady and aston
