lake, known as Two Ocean Pond.
The water from this lily pond
which is long and narrow, feeds in
to the tributaries of the Pacific anc
Atlantic oceans. Some species
of fish found in the park, must have
come over the Grand divide from
the Pacific slope through this water
way. The roadway cuts this pond
in two with a dirt grade and strange
as 1t may seem, the eastern side
flows to the Pacific and the western
to the Atlantic. The driver explain
ed this, and allowed me to alight,
| and with my cup F. dipped water
from the Atlantic side and threw it
into the Pacific slope, and then not
wanting to disturb the world 8
equilibrium, I hastily dipped anoth-
er from the Pacific and threw it
back into the Atlantic, and ehe old
world and the stage moved merrily
on.
With the greatest Of security the
wild fowl, though comparatively
few, are found in the lakes and riv-
ers. Pelica.ns are wading the rivers,
Ducks and Sea Gulls and an occa-
sional, Swan are seen swimming up
on the placid lakes. But O, i the
Mosquitoes in certain localities, how
they insist on a close acquaintance,
until the chill of the summer even
ing furnishes nom nts OF peace. .
In the park and reserves are So
900 elk enjoying perfect freedom
and roaming at leisure, but the lar
gest herds feed in sections seldom
visited by the sight seers. The 500
deer are in more evidence around
camp and along the roadway. There
are $50 antelope and IT'S pure
blooded Buffalo. An exception is
made with the Buffalo for they are
kept in large fenced pastures.
F. The government does not estimate
the number of Bear but say they
are found in large numbers. Some
of these have grown quite tame
and prowl around the camp for
scraps of food.
The two different days we were
at Willow camp 4 or were rang
ing around the camp in search of
something to eat. They are most
fond of bacon and something strong
will alone prevent them from help
ing themselves. The cooking house
is built of logs and is safe from
their depredations, but the canvass
of the dining tent showed in one
corner of the top where bruin had
torn it in shreds with his sharp
claws one night when he was hunt

The camera "ffends' in our party

at dinner camp. Some one cried
"bear" and there was rush for the
picture machines. There stood at
a safe distance a great Cinnamon
bear, gazing out from the fallen
logs and pine boughs,- but he re-
treated before the kodak charge and
finally crossed the river to escape
them. Soon here came a great Gin

FORD CAR PRODUCTION
 FOR MONTH 0F JANUARY

DETROIT. Mich, March 6.-Janu- ary is not supposed to show the high water mark of production in the automobile world but neverthe- less the first month of 1914 shows the largest output of any month in the entire history of the Ford Motor Company During the month of January this year, the Ford Motor Company built and shipped 23,936 cars The largest months output pre- the number of cars made and shipped reached the total of 22.049.
 These figures show how the Ford business is growing even beyond the extraordinary proportion it reached last season. To achieve such produc- tion figures every department and every executive, in sense, had to grow too. The Ford plant is con stantly adding new machines and de- vices constantly testing new sys- tems and methods to diminish the labor, speed up the operations, to save time, energy and the like. Tn this way only can production keep pace with business. These time and labor saving systems (and some re- markedly interesting ones have re- gently been adopted), form some of the most fascinating features for vis- itors to inspect.

Those who have watched the i'm provement of roads in Cochise county and who are awaiting with vigilance the Improvements to come have not of the credit is due Find county where the roads are especially good and the mileage unusually large and you will find a county that has at least one good roads enthusiast who has been able to spread the contagion.
 Fine roads do not just come, in the way that Topsy "groWed." They are the result of a mighty lot of propa- ganda under the leadership of some one who makes them his constant study and interest
 Joseph H. Gray as representative of the Warren District Commercial club Is, we venture, the enthusiast to whom Cochise county owes a debt of gratitude. He and his organization have been hammerng away on the good roads proposition-among other activities-until the enthusiasm is general throughout the county It is an economic project that is catching It is demonstration that works It spreads from one county to another It has already greatly increased the general state average of road building efficiency. It is making every county count it's cost and note the return. It is making road building business and road investment as carefully watched as other expenditures.

PLANS OF W. R. HEARST
 F0R ARIZONA HOME

Speculation over what disposition William Randolph Hearst will make of his Grand View purchase, was settled yesterday by Manager Bos- wick of the Los Angeles Examiner, who was returning west over the Santa Fe after a consultation in New York City with MT. Hearst, says the Prescott Journal Miner.
 BosWick stated that plans were being drawn for three distinct prop ositions, which include, first. a pala- t:al residence for the owner, re- sort hotel to accommodate large number of tourists and the building Of an electric railway from Flagstaff to the rim of the Grand Canyon, with the terminus at Grand View. There is to be no connection with the railroad running from Williams to Fl Tovar and the project of MT. Hearst is to be, in short, purely individual and independent one, 50 far as other interests are to be con- sidered in an interlocking sense.
 As to when the railroad will begin building or from what source the power is to be drawn are facts not given publicity, but it is believed the immense undertaking will be prac- tically initiated not later than June or July of the present year.
 Speaking of reports in circulation and published throughout the country that MT. Hearst was to make Arizona his home, to gain recognition as an aspirant for future senatorial honors from this state, Mir Boswick stated that such and impression was with out any foundation whatever. and should be dispelled as political forecast of the future.
 MT. Hearst is to make New York City his base of operations, but will be d frequent visitor to Grand View. where he will maintain home and entertain his friends without any other motive than that of a private citizen who has invested in the country, and who is appreciative of its marvellous scenic attractions.

report Of commission appointed

'"to examine into the ways and means

Incident to this investigation, the com
mission looked into the cost Of produc-
ing wheat under present conditions in
that province of Canada.
The wheat producers of various sec
tions of the United States will be in
terested to know that under present
conditions the cost of producing wheat
as determined by the commission is
reported to be IS cents per bushel on
the farm and 62 cents per bushel f. O.
b. cars at country points.
According to the report, the cost of
production has increased 1918 per cent
since 1909, while, on the other hand,
the price of wheat to the Sasatche-
wan farmer has decreased from 81 Is
cents per bushel in 1909 to &C 1-S cents
per bushel in 1913, leaving net re-
turn, on this basis, of 4 1-8 cents per
bushel to the farmer.

short life ten thousand times. Is it

dred for live toads. A college pro-
fessor has estimated that every time
boy kills a toad he virtually destroys
500 worth of crops. Toads, garter
snakes, ladybugs and song birds are lit
tie assistant gardners whose services
are not fully appreciated. They ask
only living and in return destroy
great numbers of injurious pests. Not
being at all fussy about his meals the
toad will devour flies, caterpillars, spid-
ers and hornest with equal gusto and
the amount of living meat which he is
able to dispose of in the course of day
is marvellous. That is the reason he is
SO valuable in the garden. He makes
way with thousands of pests that feed
on the vegetables, the flowers and the
field crops.
The toad's tongue is fastened at the
front of his mouth, curiously enough,
and can be thrown out like spring,
with wonderful celerity. On the end
OF his tongue is a sticky secretion which
will hold the victim like a piece of fly
paper. One toad has been seen to eat
20 caterpillars in 10 minutes, which
should be sufficient evidence of his
value as an assistant gardener Toads
feed at night and like secluded shelter
during the day so that the gardener
will serve both his own interest and
those of his dimnutive helper by max
ing little holes about the garden and
covering them with flat stones or short
pieces Of board. 1t might be added that
the old superstition that toads cause
warts is pure buncombe.
Like the toads, the pretty and harm
less garter snakes destroy thousands of
pests and should be encouraged There
is absolutely no excuse for killing them.
The ladybug is little polka dotted red
or orange beetle, whose mission in life
is to make way with as many plant
lice as possible. 1t is worthy object
from the gardeners point of view. for
these lice or aphides are very common
and Troublesome pests and at work. in
doors or out, the year around. 1t is
unfortunate that many people, in their
ignorance, kill the ladybugs, taking it
for granted that because they are bugs
they are harmful In Colorado, the or
chardists pay SIS per quart for them and
never have enough offered. Wherever
ants are found one may be sure that
there are plant lice, but while the ants
protect and nurture the pests, the lady
bug makes incessant warfare upon them,
for which service we are her debtors.
Although some birds do considerable
kinds are highly beneficial, and they
should be encouraged for purely eco
nomic reasons if no others. In the
wholesale destruction of birds, the farm
ers and garden makers of the country
have suffered loss amounting to many
millions of dollars. Left to herself, ma
ture maintains well averaged balance,
but men insist on upsetting this balance
whenever they congregate. Having
driven out the birds they are obliged to
depend upon poisons and various noxious
doses to do their work. The rapidity
with which insects pests multiply in
garden is almost incredible. A single
ten-foot cherry tree has been found to
harbor IL million plant lice. If tie
potato bug were allowed to increase
without molestaton, the progeny OF
