HOW THE SOIL WAS
 MADE IS EXPLAINED
University Extension Course Lecture
 at Y. M. C. A. Recently

Owing to a misunderstanding as to the date, and somewhat scanty pub licity, hundreds of Phoenicians missed 6 splendid lecture at the r. Wednesday evening when Prof. Chas. H. Clapp of the University of Arizona faculty de- livered the first of the series of uni versity extension lectures. His sub ject, How the Soil is Made was illus trated throughout with appropriate stereopticon slides showing processes of soil formation in all parts of the world.
 After rapidly tracing the formation of the earth's crust. Prof. Clapp took up the agents which disintegrate rocks, breaking them up and converting them into soil. These he said are of two kinds. mechanical and chemical In a series of views he showed in strik- i"g wa;' the effect of wi.ds change cf te'npera;ure, and rainfall on the ca. h's crust Dust storms. g!aciccs, and rivers transport these particles of rock form . ing rich deposits where they wive up their loads.
 Water. especially when carrying minerals in solution Is a powerful agent in chemical disintegration, dis solving the rocks over which it flows
Arizona republican., 1914-02-27

and later leaving mineral deposits of importance far from the original source. These deposits are especially numerous near mineral springs and in the limestone caverns where they form wonderful stalagmites of rare beauty
 Soil said Prof. Clapp, lis nothing but broken down rock mixed with more or less vegetable matter. We are ac- customed to speak of the everlasting hills, but the mountains are not inn movable. In fact they are no more constant than Robbie Burns the poet who sang that he would be true till the mountains melted away. Rocks are being constantly eroded."
 In conclusion Prof. Clapp said that the best soil is composed of a mix ture of both kinds of rock, that which has been chemically disintegrated, and that which is formed by mechanical means. In this respect he said tha soil of Arizona, while not as rich ir appearance as the black or red loams of the Piedmont belt of the Eastern United States, is far superior, being product of both agents of separation.
 It was unfortunate that a larger number did not hear this splendid lecture and it is certain that there will be standing room only next Wednesday state agricultural department will give the second in the series, on the Won ders of the Soil.'

INVITE GOVERNORS ID
 MEET x CONFERENCE
Connecting Up of Highways and Road Improvements to Be
 Discussed.
Special to The Republican

DOUGLAS, Feb. 26.-In order that they may consult relative to the joining of the state highways of New Mexico and Arizona at the state line and bring about a harmonious two state system, invitations to meet here have been extended by the chamber of commerce to Governor Hunt of this state and Governor Me Donald of New Mexico and to the state engineers of the two states. If this invitation is accepted it will be suggested to Governor Hunt that he and escort him to this city.
 It is the desire of the chamber of commerce to seek further improve ments of the roads of this county and of the counties of New Mexico on the route to Fl Paso, with a view to attracting travel over the Border land route next year. The matter of reads west of here leading to the coast would also be considered.
 Already Governor Hunt has stated that he will be glad to meet Gov ernor Mcdonald but no reply has as yet been received from the latter nor has any date for the proposed conference been selected. If the meeting shall be arranged. as is hoped, a public smoker and other entertainment for the visitors is proposed.

.LEH| RANCHER FIRST
 TO PLANT cANTALOuPEs
Albert Harper Makes Early Start With Intention of Making
 Early Shipments

Albert Harper, the successful Lehi rancher, has the distinction of plant ing the first cantaloupes of the sea- son, says the Mesa Tribune. MT. ready planted from which he expects to get a full crop and be able to command fancy prices for early de- livery
 It is a well known fact that the Lehi valley has a climate which is more conducive to the early propa- gation of tender plants than is en- joyed by the gardeners of the Mesa section. Just why this condition ex- ists is a matter of speculation but it is nevertheless true that the lands below the hill and adjoining the river produce earlier vegetation. It is said that tomato vines have been bearing throughout the winter in the upper Lehi valley and that the cotton plants which have not been plowed under have continued to blossom right along as if in midsummer
 It is with the idea of taking ad vantage of this condition that MT. Harper has planted such an acreage of melons at the unprecedented time of year. However, he does not expect to depend entirely upon the salubri- ous climate of the Lehi for he is anticipating considerable extra work in nursing the plants while in their tender age, but at any rate he does expect the climate to be of essential assistance.
 He has plowed his furrows quite deep from east to west and has thrown the dirt to the north side of the furrow. He will make a minia- ture house over each plant from newspapers with a south exposure. This will permit the sun to shine on the plant and will also tend to keep the frost out
 The experiment will be watched with considerable interest. If it is successful, it will be quite an adver- tisement for Mesa, for it will mean the earliest cantaloupes ever shipped out of this place.

NEWS 0F STRIKE MADE
 AT BIG PINE CONFIRMED
Three Foot Vein Carrying Wire Silver
 and Free Gold Is Encountered
Especial to The Republican,

Especial to The Republican,
 PRESCOTT, Feb. 26-That the strike reported several days ago at the Big Pine mines of the Senator country is a bonafide one was con- firmed yesterday by the arrival of a miner in the city who was employed at the camp at the time the three foot body of gold and silver ore was encountered.
 The informant desires his name withheld from publicity, but states without fear of being contradicted that the showing accomplished is one of the biggest he has ever seen during his many years as a working miner throughout the country. The discovery took place in the lower tunnel and to add interest to the re- markable condition proven, he stated that one portion of the rich pay streak carries native wire silver, while associated and apart in the vein is the free gold ore, plainly visi- ble to the eye.
 This combination of an ore body is at least three feet thick. Further drifting into the body failed to show any indication of the high grade be- ing passed through.
 The property is said to be under option of sale and the engineer who represents the prospective buyer is on the ground and is conversant with the noteworthy determinations that are proven. The tonnage valuations from the strike are not known and none of the miners employed are permitted to take away specimens.

C|BOLA VALLEY LOOKS
 GOOD ID SURVEYORS
Project Embraces Irrigation of a Tract Estimated at 10000
 Acres.
Special to The Republican,

(Speclal to The RepuDllcan)
 YUMA, Feb. 26.-R. L. Morton has returned to Yuma from the Cibola valley, where he has had charge of the field work of the CibOla valley irrigation district. He has been in the valley for the past four months surveying the project. During this time he had charge of a number of men, numbering at times as many as fourteen. The field work is now completed. Cibola valley at this time has about one hundred inhabitants. The valley is in all particulars like the Yuma Indian reservatiOn-in topography and composition The valley is as rich as the Yuma valley. There has been hardly any develop ment done in the Cibola valley. The river overflows each year and leaves a rich silt behind. MT. Morton stated that he was not certain as to the area of the valley but that it ap- prOXimately contained fifteen or twen- ty thousand acres. As soon as his data are worked up he will be able to determine the area of the valley and the number of canals and levees needed Cibola valley is sixty miles up river from Yuma. When developed and farmed it ought to be as rich as the Yuma valley. There are num- bers of valleys along the Colorado river especially along the river in the southwest of Arizona, which are as fertile and rich, waiting for the time to come for development. MT Morton will return to Blythe in the next few weeks to take charge of the office work of the project. There is considerable work to be done on the project yet. but good progress is being made

 SHOOTING OF FATHER
Widow of Slain Rancher Gives Best Testimony for Her Two
 Sons.
Especial to The Republican,

TOMBSTONE, Feb. 26-Before a crowded court room the Watson boys, accused of the murder of their father, are facing trial for their lives for the second time. Since the crime and during the their former trial, this case has received many columns of newspaper comment. Ever since their arrest the two boys have been in jail, unable to obtain bail.
 Although there is no doubt of the shooting of Tom Watson at his ranch near Silver Creek, the first trial of the sons resulted in a dis agreement by the jury. The testi- mony of the widow of Watson, the mother of the boys. and for whose safety they claim to have shot their father, was given in favor of the boys on the last trial and will be repeated on this occasion, she being the first witness the defense will present.
