Although nothing was agreed upon
in the conference at the capitol to-

leaders alike gave the president their
assurances that they would do all IN

First, prevent the strike, II possible"
was the general conclusion. As to the
legislative means proposed to avert
the strike and to prevent the recur-

the one confronting the country, there
was divergence of opinion. The meet

said Speaker Clark.
There was no division Of opinion
about that il the strike can be fore
stalled l think that congress can go
home and leave legislation to the
future. If we can prevent the strike
there is different situation. Tonight
we talked over with tho president the
entire subject. All the legislation pro-

conclusion was reached about any OF
it. No suggestions made by the presi.

Mesa News Notes
HAY ABOUT GONE;
 FEED GETS SCARCE

The very active demand for hay at comparatively good prices, which pre- vailed during December and January has resulted in reducing the amount on hand to a point much below nor nal. The slow growth of forage on the desert caused probably by the cool weather following the recent rains, has forced stockmen to seek pasturage in the alfalfa fields of the valley. There is a greater demand than the valley farmers are able to supply. One ranchman has been com pelled to turn down an application for pasturage for three hundred head of horses. The farmers in this vicinity declare that they have learned their lesson about contracting hay at d dollar down and also about rushing 1t on summer market at six dolarc only to see it climb to twelve dollars within six months. As it is stockmen are anxious for another rain to start the grass on the desert The warm days are considered as very fortunate since the stock are enabled to stand shortage of feed with less suffer- ing. In the meantime the new growth of alfalfa is feeling the impulse of the sunshine and is coming fast.
