LIVESTOCK AND RANGES Y. Y.
 ARIZONA NEW MEXICO

Devastating forest fires have pre- vailed in a number of the National Forests of the state as result Of the
 dry weather of the last two weeks.
 The weekly range and stock report of the Weather Bureau exhibits an unusual absence of rain over the high erelevaeions. tDry winds have robbed the soil of much moisture and pastur- es have dried to large extent, par ticularly on the intermediate and low CT ranges. But on the higher sum- mer ranges pastures continue excell- ent and the water supply adequate. All sections however woulG be helped by rain. Stock are beginning to suf- fer in the Nogales section where tenn peratures have been unusually high and number of forest fires have oc- cured. It is reported that 5000 acres have been burned over in the northern part of the state. An unus- ually heavy dust storm occurred at Douglas on the 10th. Although pas lures have been unfavolably affect ed by the dry weather, stock general
 ly, are in good condition. ,..@.r.%.,

How Woodpecksr Protects Trees.

I How Woodpecksr Protects Trees.
 Among the natural guardians of the trees are the woodpeckers, which gather their food as they creep round the trunks and branches. They have two toes before and two behind for climbing, and may usually be seen clinging erect to tree trunks, but rarely, if ever, with head downward, like the nuthatches and titmice. As the food of the woodpecker is nearly as abundant in winter as in summer they are seldom migratory, They never forage in flocks, like some of the granivorous birds whose food is more plentiful, but scatter out over wide areas, and thus better their fare. They bear the same relation to other birds that take their food from trees, as snipes and woodcocks bear to thrushes and quails-that is, they bore into the wood as the snipe bores into the earth while thrushes and quails seek their sustenance on the surface of the ground. .,,yh

AzB|LL BROTHERS
 FLEE FROM ARIZONA

Willis and Henry Azbell, who re- ceived life sentence for the murder of man at Williams, about four years ago, and who were paroled, have dis. appeared, so it is said by the authori- ties. The Azbills were guilty of a dastardly murder and had the Jaw of capital punishment been in force at the time would have been hung for the crime. About year prior to the murder at Williams one of the Az bills was suspected of the murder of his wife on the Goldroad hill. The man and wife and another woman were driving up the old grade when the harness gave way, precipltating the wagon over the grade into the canyon and killing Azbill's wife. The other woman in the wagon Was badly injured. The men have an unsavory reputation and it is probable that they will soon be apprehended for some other crime.
