and 80 lives were lost, and only two
were rescued, when the steam schoon-
er Francis H. Leggett of San Fran
cisco sank Sept IS, sixty miles south
Of the Columbia river. The steamer
Beaver took on one survivor, who told
a narrowing tale of how the vessel

Warned by Japanese Cruiser.
Captain Mason of the steamer Beav-
er, who brought in one of the two sur
vivors, says the first he heard of the
disaster was about 80 o'clock in the
afternoon, when the Japanese cruiser
Idzumo sent wireless saying the
Leggett had sunk, but did not give tho
location.
| Captain Mason tried for several
hours to hail the cruiser to secure fur
Their particulars, but the latter would
not reply to the wireless calls.
About midnight, however, Captain
Mason received a wireless from the
Buck, saying she was at the scene, and
had rescued one man. The Beaver has

sible, and from 1890 until o'clock
Saturday morning searched the wreck
age for survivors, but found none. The
only things in sight were small pieces
of lumber and other debris.
Survivor Is Rescued.
While the Beaver was there a small
boat picked up Farrell, who was turn

Captain Jensen Was a Hero.
Captain j. Jensen of San Francisco
who lost his ship, the Nokomis, of
the Mexican coast last spring, was one
of the heroes who persisted. Accord
ing to Farrell, while Captain Moro OF
the Leggett directed his efforts to try

was delegated the task of controlling
the passengers and preventing panic

ship sank, for it was Captain Jensen

futile attempt to launch two lifeboats
which foundered as soon as they
struck the water.
Farrell said that the Leggett car
ried full list of passengers, about AZ

25.
Among the passengers were six
women, girl and boy, including

GROW COTTON

Splendid successes are being
achieved in growing cotton in the
Salt River valley. One report reads:
Land purchased, 60 acres at $lS5 an
acre. Cash paid down 81, 200; bal
ance to be paid at $4,000 yearly.
The purchaser put ten acres in gar
den truck which paid living expenses
and also paid the cost of putting in
the other fifty acres in cotton, leav-
ing the cotton crop as clear profit.
Instead of paying $4,000 as agreed,
the purchaser paid $4,000 out of the
proceeds of the cotton crop"
What the farmers in Salt River
valley are doing with cotton, the
farmers of the Artesian Belt can do,
and now that it has been proved
that cotton can be successfully
grown in this valley, our farmers
should plant greater acreage this
year and go into cotton raising in
earnest

Stafford WILL BE FAMOUS

The Ell Paso Times, in comment.
ing on the story of "Safford's First
Bale of Cotton" says:
"Safford's first bale recalls to
mind the first bale of cotton pro-
duced in West Texas, which when
placed in the front window of the
Colorado National Bank in Colorado,
Tex, back in the eighties, attracted
as much attention as a first-cIass
circus. Colorado in those days was
the greatest cowman's town in the
West, and today it has three cotton
gins, a cotton-seed oil mill and
handles thousands of bales of the
feecy staple annually. Doubtless
the time is not far distant when the
live little city Of Stafford will also
attain fame as the center of a great
cotton-producing country, as it is
already the center Of thriving agri-
tlltural activity"

You can send it along and charge
it to my account"
Not on your life" the dealer re-
piled. No charge accounts. You

house that way. Fork over the
cash. "
The customer complied.
Now two cents for postage and
five cents for a money order"

Now two cents postage and five
cents for money order, to a mail

The customer inwardly raving,
kept to his agreement and paid the

and I'm in Chicago, and you'll have
to wait two weeks for that saw"
Whereupon the dealer hung the
saw on a peg and put the money in
his cash drawer.
That makes $l.67," he said.
1T has cost you two cents more
and taken you two weeks longer to

BENEFICIAL USE OF WATER

Under the laws Of watcr rights,
as established by legislation and
court DEGREES in the arid States Of
the West, the final test of right to
water for irrigation is that the water
claimed shall be put to a beneficial
use. AS expressed by the laws of
several States, beneficial use is the
basis, the measure, and the limit"
of rights to water. These laws,
however, do not attempt to define
beneficial use."
At a conference of the project
managers of the United States Re-
clamation Service and representa-
tives of the Department of Agricul.
ture, held at Salt Lake City, Novem.
Der l2.l5, IA resolution attempting
such definition was adopted. This
definition is somewhat long and de-
tailed, but in substance is as follows:
A water user is entitled to that
amount Of water that will render
him reasonable maximum amount
of good with reasonable, economic
handling of the water" He is en-,
titled to the protection Of the State
in this right, but in return the State
has right to demand that he use
reasonable care and Judgment in con-
veying and using water and cult
waiting his crops.
The conference adopted also a
definition of economical use, which
was in substance as follows:
Since the water supply available
for irrigation in the Western States
is adequate for only relatively
small percentage of the entire irri-
gable acreage, the Fundamental STAN
Gard of economical Use must be the
financial results accomplished per
scre-foot of water applied, rather
than the yield per acre irrigated.
In future development the doctrine
of beneficial use must in many cases
merge into or be supplanted by that
of economic use. The doctrine of
beneficial use looks to individual in
terest; that of economic use to the
general welfare of society as whole,
So far as possible, water charges.
systems of distribution and regula-
tions should be so adjusted as to
make the interest of the individual
water user coincide with this public
interest.

TO PLANT OATS AND CORN

Answering an inquiry from San
Simon, Arizona, in regard to the
varieties Of corn and oats to plant
and the time of planting, Director
Forbes, Of the Arizona Agricultural
Experiment Station, states: AN
excellent variety of field corn for
your locality is the Laguna Mexican
June, seed Of which probably can
be obtained from some farmers in
the Gila valley, near Stafford or
Thatcher. The best time to plant
corn in your locality is about the
first of July. This will bring the
corn in bloom during the more
humid summer season and it will
then set grain; but if planted as
soon as the danger of frost is over
the crop will come in bloom during
the hottest and driest part of the
summer and will not set good crop
of corn. Oats can be sown in your
locality in February and should
make a crop in June. Irrigating
water is, of course, essential for
both corn and oats. Texas Red and
Kherson are both good varieties of
oats for Southern Arizona. You
should be able to get these varieties
of your neighbors near Stafford and
Thatcher. Eastern grown seed is
usually not well adapted to this
climate, although native grown
Hickory King corn has done we'll at
attitudes of 1000 feet and possibly
lower"

BILLYS INGRATITUDE

"A rich man can be a Christian

ceases to be a Christian when his
money gets him."
The speaker was Secretary Bryan;
the occasion a Washington dinner.
old Billy Bones was a rich man, "
Mr.. Bryan continued, whose money

Der trade.
One day he was bossing a lum-
ber crew that was guiding a lot of
logs down the river. Suddenly the
log Billy stood on slipped and rolled
over. Billy sank in the deep and
icy water.
But young Canuck plunged in
from nearby log, and, at the risk
of his life, saved the old man. The
youth naturally expected some re-
ward for this heroic feat, but Billy
only nodded grutf Thank YOU and
went his way.
When, the next week. he turned
up at camp again, the young Canuck
approached him.

BIG BOUNTY OFFERED

The three cattle growers associa-
tions on the Chiricahua Mountains
in Southern Arizona are determined
to rid their ranges of wolves and
lions, if possible. They are offering
a bounty of $4,000 for any of these
animals killed in the Chiricahua
mountains. The hide belongs to the
hunter, which allows him to collect,
in addition, the county bounty of
$500.
A lion or wolf will not return
when hungry to an old carcass, but
must have fresh killed meat. Due
to this habit, the annual loss to
stockmen is very large. 1t is esti-
mated that a wolf kills stock to the
value of 81, 100000 each year.
The associations, to show that they
mean what they say, have had cloth
posters advertising the bounty, put
up throughout their ranges.
These associations are located
largely on the Chiricahua National
Forest. Nearly every forest in Ari-
zona and New Mexico has one or
more such associations. They are
proving very beneficial to both the
stockmen and the Forest Service in
working towards the determination
of predatory animals, and in looking
after the sailing of stock, the num-
Der and grade of bulls necessary and
the location of drift fences.

HIGH SCHOOL. PLANS

The joint committee from Stafford
and Layton. appointed at the citizens
meeting held last Thursday night,
met Monday night, and. after dis
cussion that went into all the de-
tails. formulated plans by which the
high school proposition can be carried
out successfully.
The proposed plan for Stafford to
hold an election to vote for high
school is good in every way and the
election will he carried successfully.
No parent in this school district
is satisfied with their children ending
their education with the eighth
grade. and they realize that higher
education can be better accomplished
In high school at home than at one
abroad.
The second proposition that an
election be held for the purpose If
consolidating Stafford and Layton
school districts for high school and
common school purposes is highly
commendable. With one large school
district providing fully for the edu.
cation of children from the first to
the highest grades there can be no
doubt of the success of the plan to
obtain higher education at home.
The third proposition, that the
Layton school site be sod, should
meet with unanimous approval, as
it means. in the carrying out Of the
plans for better education, that
larger grounds and a larger build
ing will be secured for teaching all
the grades of the grammar school.
The fourth proposition that a site
for the high school be purchased
which will be Of sufficient acreage
to permit of agricultural expert
ments. is simply carrying out the
plans of the best educator in the
country. In farming community
like ours it is wise to provide in the
education Of the children a scientific
knowledge of all that appertains to
successful farming.
And when the high school and
consolidation shall be an accom-.
plished fact, bond election will be
called for the purpose Of voting
bonds of sufficient amount for the
purchase of a site and grounds and
to build a high school of sufficient
for full high school course,
as well as manual training, domestic
science and elementary agriculture.
Such are the proposed plans IF
the joint committee Of Stafford and
Layton, and they show fine spirit
and best interest for higher educa-
ton, leaving no doubt in the minds
of anyone but that within short
time higher education will be an
established fact for the children Of
Stafford and Layton.
