last when number of feeding pens
not a great way from Idaho Falls
were visited. The excursion was led
by T. C. Barlow field manager for
the factory, Leonard Ball and John
Nielsen, assistant field managers.
The first place visited was the 24O
acre ranch of John Empey, leased by
the sugar factory at $40 an acre for
a period of five years. At this place
the company is feeding 300 head Of
steers. The ration is apportioned per
head as follows, each day: Twenty
pounds alfalfa, 30 pounds beet top
silage, 60 pounds beet pulp. Salt
and water is provided at all times
and fresh layers of straw are spread
on the lot as the cattle pack it down.
Superintendent Barlow led the
crowd to the pit where the beet tops
were in silage. II wasn't much of a
trick to do this as all one had to do
was follow the smell. Limberger
has nothing on beet silage. In COM
parison we believe that competent
judges would qualify limberger as
ashes of roses. Upon request of
doubling Thomas Mr.. Barlow called
upon the foreman to get up team
and haul some over to the cattle.
This was in the afternoon and they
had had their rations of silage and
pulp and the cattle were lazily stand
ing around chewing their quid, but
when the silage was dumped in the
feed troughs they came running and
licked it up with the alacrity of a
"bo" having been invited to the bar.
These cattle have been on feed since
the 9th of December and according
to the bureau experts who were with
the party they are looking fine. A
few carloads are fat enough for the
block and will be culled out right
away and sent to market.
The next stop was made at the
ranch of George C. Nielsen and sons.
At this place 223 head of steers are
being fed on alfalfa and pulp. Mr..
Nielsen is saving his s.lage until such
time as the roads may become too
muddy to haul pulp from the factory.
Mr.. Nielsen is not an absolutely new

GETTING READY

Arriving Thursday from near No gales was H. P. Pugh, who was joined at Tucson by c. K. Ennis, and both will remain in town until
 Monday, when they 9eave for the main line of the Santa Fe to await the opening of the Navajo reserva- ton to mineral exploration. They stated it is difficult to form an idea of the number of miners there are in the south who will go into the reserve, but they know of at least 50 who are preparing to come north.
 "The opening of the Indian reser- vation is occasioning great amount of discussion, and some people are in the widest kind of as sertions," sid Mir. Pugh. He was located near Manuelito, N. M., many years ago, when working for the

BIG CLOUDBURST HITS
 RAILROAD HARD JOLT (From Sundays dziiy.5

An arrival yesterday from Clark dale stated that a remarkable sight was to be seen at a point about eight miles west on the Verde Valley rail road, where the track IS covered over to a deptn of from three to six feet for a mile in length. as the result of a cloudburst last Thursday after noon. The huge fall of water struck in what Is known as s. O. 5. can yon, which unique name was given it by General Manager Drake on ac- count of its weird topography, and the flood waters to descend to the mouth of Sycamore creek carried away the formation for over mile and completely obliterated the rail- road grade laong the path of the ter rife torrent.
 Huge boulders are lying every where on the right-of-way, while the loose soil is packed to different depths that the track is invisible. Friday 100 men were placed at work to remove the obstruction, but little headway was made. Yesterday morn ing another crew of 100 men went to work and it is believed traffic will be resumed about the middle of the week.

JUST A COINCIDENCE

Birds of feather flock together 9 will aptly fit this mixup of the hu- man race, which crystalized ycster- day. It was the coming to town of Clyde w. Smith. who formed a legal alliance with Judge Frank o, Smith, although the ties of blood are far apart It is simply a coincidental mixup in names, but with the blend ing of both tremendously from a professional viewpoint The incom- ing attorney is direct from Florence, where ne has been i'll the office of the Pinal county attorney. Previously he had been assistant city attorney of Los Angeles, and has quite a range of legal practice elsewhere. It IS probably for the best that the two Smiths are together, as confusion might reign if they were to clash al law and to pick the winner would be somewhat embarrassing to the public at large.

PASADENA, Cal, July 5.-Scien-
 lists who attended the recent conven-
 ton here of the pacific division of
 the American Association for the Advancement of Science, announced their expectations of important sci entifc discoveries through the huge lens at the Mount Wilson solar ob- servatory, which they assisted in for mally opening.

MERITS OF HAY ARE EXTENDED

F. w. Bower and C. R. Nelson ar
 rived in Prescott yesterday direct
 from Phoenix, via Black Canyon.
 Bower is the originator of the many
 products made for people from al
 falfa, and Nelson is an expert candy maker of Los Angeles who is turning
 these interesting alfalfa discoveries
 into commercial pdoducts. The Ali Inc Remedy company is the organi- zation these men have perfected and Factory No. 1" Is now ill operation at Riverside Park, Phoenix, turning out the Alf-Ine candies and Alf-Ine
 soft drinks. These alfalfa products are making a tremendous hit in the Salt River valley towns, having won favor because of their real merit.
 Alfalfa Is a wonderful plant for people the same as 1t is for animals ' said Bower last night. At first thought, people usually laugh at the idea of eating hay but allala is not hay it is a legume the same as peas, beans and peanuts. It carries the same amount of food elements as beans and becfsteak and is much stronger in the mineral substances than wheat or corn. It is proving to be a remarkable remedial plant, too," continued Bower.
 The Alf-Ine company is branchlI ing out into new territory. The hrstI factory at Phoenix will soon be sell-i ing the several products throughout the southwest states. The company has recently purchased a candy fac tory in Los Angeles which will soon be making the Alf-Ine products for the coast trade. The alfalfa used in the products comes from. the ranches of Salt River valley. This will bel another strong advertisement for Arizona products. Before these two men leave Prescott. the people will know a whole lot more about alfalfa for human uses.

GERMAN TRADERS SEEK
 ITALIAN BUSINESS

ROME, July 5.-Already German
 influence has been exercising itself in Italy in an cndeavor to win back its pre-war trade, which annually amounted to nearly two hundred mil. lion dolars-exports and imports.
 Interviews nave recently been pub. lished in Italian newspapers which endeavor to establish the idea in the Italian mind that had Germany been consulted in the matter of Italian claims at the peace conference, Italy would have secured all that had been asked. This has been interpreted by many prominent Italians as purely subtle bid for Italian patronage an ticipating the resuscitation of friend iy commercial relations between Italy and Germany.
 Chief among the interviews ap- bearing in Italy were those of Prince Von Bue1ow and Count Von Bern storff. The former was married to an Italian and maintains in Italy one of the most celebrated villas. Ital- ians contend that it was his object to solicit Italian favor when he said;
 Hume is an Italian town and must go to Italy. All its inhabitasts arc Italian except a small minority. Ev- erything i'll Plume is Italian. In fact, most Hungarians living ;n Plume are more favorable to Italian than to Jugo-Slav rule.'

 Displaying remarkable confidence in their star pitcher, Lush, Mesa won the second game from Whipple easily, hitting the ball hard all morn ing and getting 19 hits for 9 runs There seemed no stopping them after the fifth inning, when Fulweiler was forced to retire in favor of Sapp in the box, for the Southcrners had six run lead and through superior fielding kept the Soldiers blankcd after they had succeeded in making their only run in the third frame. The good fielding of the Butler brothers for Mesa broke up Whip 'ple's chances of a rally time and again these two boys moving with such speed around the keystone sack. Every man on the Mesa team con nected for at least one hit, and though the Soldiers touched Lush for eight hits, their lone run was all they could push over home plate. It was Mesa,s day, this making the second time they have defeated Whipp'e, thus giving them first call for state honors. The Soldiers manager tried to hold them over for another game to be played tomorrow, but the Mesa management refused the offer. The fans that were out in force saw a game that was full of action, even with Mesa in the lead all the time. The score:

 Tuesday night witnessed the begin ming of the summer rainy season for this county, and reports received from several sections would indicate that the era of cloudbursts was the barrage for steady downpours to fol- low. Some of the reports sent in are quite interesting, in which the shifty elements are hard hitting the zones that have suffered severely from the long drouth. The following locali- ties were heard from yesterday:
 T. w. King telephoned to tine city to his brothers, Arthur and Charles King, that a huge cloudburst had struck north of the ranch in Big Chino valley and there followed without cessation all night long a heavy downpour of rain, which is exceptional for this time of the year. Every water hole was overflowing and the benefit to the rangeman will be immense. He also stated there were twelve autos marooned in the mud alongside of the fence, and the owners would come to Prescott by train. All were from the north, bound for Frontier Days in this city
 Grant Carter, in the city from Kirkland, stated that during the en- tire night of Tuesday it was a steady and havy rain, which continued yes terday morning. The storm extended 10 Thompson valley and the Hillside country ,traveling westward to Wen den and Bouse.
 Carl Rees, here from Chino valley, stated yesterday there was string. of fully 25 autos scattered along the road from the King. ranch to Jerome Junction, tied up in the mud, the rain storm having been unprecedented in that section for the summer.
 James Morrow, an arrival yester- day morning from Camp Verde, stated that in coming over Cherry creek hill on Tuesday evening a cloudburst occurred and the roar of water would indicate that it was a huge downpour. It struck on the Verde slope of the range.
 MT. and Mrs. J. W. Cook, who mo- tored to town yesterday morning from the Lower Agua Fria valley, stated the Mayer highway to Pres colt was difficult to negotiate on ac- count of deep mud, and they. made the triD in slow time. All of thc above country was soaked.
