The rain. which began the carry part of yesterday and continued throughout the greater part of last night. has given the country around Mesa a pretty general soaking mp. To the cattle and sheep men who have been bringing their bands and herds to the lower attitudes for the winter. the rain will receive a hearty welcome Sufficient has fallen to assure at least a good start in the growth of the desert feed and with a little additional rain throughout the winter there will be sufficient feed to bring the stock out in fine shape by spring The rain coming during the holiday season, though. will interfere more or less with SO cial activities Parties coming in on the last evenings train from Superior report that rain is falling in that section also. which will mean more feed for the cattlemen in that district.
