SAN SIMON VALLEY
DESCRIBED IN REPORT.

The artesian wells of the San Simon
Valley of Eastern Arizona adjacent TO
the Southern Pacific and west of
LOrdsburg, are described in a recent
government bulletin issued jointly by
the United States geological survey
and the Arizona Agricultural station.
Artesian water was first discovered IN
the valley in 1910.
The total number Of flowing wells
in the vicinity of San Simon in 1916
was 1877. The flow of these wells
ranged from less than a gallon to
about 300 gallons a minute, and the
average flow from 1l6 wells measur-
ed in 1915 was So gallons a minute.
The combined yield of the 127 wells, if
they flowed continuously, would be
about l5 secOnd-feet, or 6,700 gallons
a minute. Comparison of the flows of
IL wells measured in 1913 and 1915
shows that in two years the aggregate
yield of these wells decreased As per
cent and that individual wells showed
decreases in flow ranging from 20 to
80 per cent. This decrease is attrib-
uted largely TO the filling of the UNI
cased wells with sand and the caving
of the walls of these wells, but in part
to the depletion Of the artesian sup
ply. The government biologists regard
it Of the utmost Importance to the
future welfare of the valley that all
wells be properly cased to the bottom
with heavy casing and fitted with val
YES, which should be closed when the
water is not needed.
A report on the valley by A. 4.
Schwennesen, f the Geological Sur
vey, and r. H. Forbes, of the Arizo-
ma Experiment Station, has just been
issued as Water-Supply Paper 425-A,
copies of which can be obtained free by
writing to the Director, u. S. Geolog-
ical Survey, Washington, d. C.

CUT 1T SHORT.

In cOmmOn with other weekly news
papers of the southwest, The Western
Liberal receives much publicity mat
ter from various government and
state agencies. II is, in the main.
matter of interest to the general pub
lie, and written in a style that would
add TO the value of any ~wspa
publishing il. Yet the publicity
agents in too many cases defeat their
own objects by being too verbose, by
failing to boil down" what they have
to say within reasonable limits. Were
editors to print half of what they re-
ceive during the week, there would
be scant room left for local news. As
1t is the busy editor has not the time
TO re-wTite the material and in num-
erOus cases the publicity matter for
many worthy causes goes inevitably
to the waste basket. A notable ex--
ceptiOn is found in the publicity
matter sent out by w. F. Keohan,
publicity director for the Liberty Loan.
He has sent out matter that is brief,
TO the point, and welcome to the busy
editor. The great success of the loan
is a testimonial to his efforts. Get
down to brass tacks and cut out the
extra rhetoric, is good advice to the
government press agents.

U A TREES.

Towns and cities that are favored
with good shade trees are learning TO
appreciate them. Residents of such
communities, when visiting in some
large cities that have a plentiful lack
Of trees are taught to notice the diff
ference and return home dOubly glad
at their own good fortune.
In many of the small cities efforts
have been made to conserve the trees.
and for this purpose forestry depart
ments of the city governments are
organized. Work is done that com
pares f%avOrably with that achieved
on a larger scale by the national gov
eminent.
in One illustrtiOn at hand from the
report of a park board, really remark
able work is indicated in saving a
shade tree. The lower part of the
tree had become diseased and a hole
eaten into II large enough for a man
TO crawl into. If such n thing had
happened to a tree in many towns,
II is probable that the tree would have
been cut down as useless. Not so in
this case, however, for the decayed
parts were removed by the city for
ester, thoroughly scraped out and
cleaned, much like a surgeon would
clean a wound. Then the opening
was filled with cement. With this
dried, the bark gradually grew Over
the cement and in due course the tree
will be as good as new.
Trees in LOrdsburg should be taken
care Of and treated when diseased.
a shade tree is not only an asset to
the property on which il stands, il is
likewise an asset to the community
if 1t stands alongside a sidewalk.
II Is really the ~cOmmunity's interest
TO see that the trees alongside walks
are kept in good shape. And the
time will come when a community Of
fetal will keep as watchful an eye up.

Here is the stenographic record of

He was attuned to her slightest

bade her masterfully. Bending
down, he covered it with kisses.
"You wait till I get you out of
sight somewrere!" he threatened.
Dixie laughed at him taunting-
ly, though her eyes were dewy.
"You wait till dad gets you
somewhere out of sight, Don
Esteven Jose Felipe Etcetera.
Then look out"
This isn't much like the old times
when young ladies were provokingly
slow about giving their answers. We
remember hearing about a beautiful

in sorrow after the young mar she had
