The ground was covered with snow,
and az the ranger didn't care to have
big cougar as a bed companion for
the night he kept on his way toward
the rangers station. All the next day
the beast followed Ridley until within
about twenty miles Of the station.
There he was lost from view.

Ridley said over the telephone. while
the big fellow seemed tame / did not

The ranger declared the cougar had In

after hour" says an authority, but

1t Is claimed that curious lights have
been seen on Mars aud have been be-
lieyed to be signal lights sent by the
Inhabitants Of that distant world. This

as follows: The prevailing color OF
Mars Is opal When seen by daylight
there Is mingling Of this color with
a pearl white, a rose saffron. and n
robins egg blue. When the suns rays
stream along its surface at certain
angles flashes Of curious light are pro-

MANY RICH RANCHES
IN COC0N|NO COUNTY

The waving fields of grain that
abound through Coconino county
this year are astounding to the old
timer, who has not visited the coun-
try for a short period OF years.
Where great open parks were a
few years ago, covered with bunch
grass and scattering rock, now
stand splendid crops of oats and
wheat. The valley on the road to
Cliffs passing the Bottomless Pits
and Big Fill, now resemble good
old middle west farms, as does
Doney Park, Fort Valley, Pitman
Valley and many other parks tina,
the old timers used to know years
ago in their wild state. Scattered
over the country few years ago
could be found abandoned ranches
where prairie dogs had taken them
over. The government mas sue
ceeded in discriminating the great
ma ority of the little pests and the
rich soil has done the rest.
