LIVESTOCK AND RANGES IN
ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO

Range conditions show marked
Improvement during the week ending
July 9th. According to reports re-
ceived by the Weather Bureau light
to heavy showers have fallen over
practically all of the more elevated
portions of the state. bringing relief
from the drouth conditions which
were becoming threatening in some
localities. One Of the immediate re-
suits of the rain has been the ex-
tinguishing of forest fires which have
been doing serious damage to both
timber and ranges in the north CEN
trail portion Of the state and also
across the international boundary IN
Mexico. Pinedale reports summer
grasses starting. Advises from Doug
las, where the rainfall was slightly
less than half an inch, state that
more showers are badly needed In
the mountains near that city. Cat
tie in all sections are reported from
fair" to excellent" and "fat."
The beginning Of the summer rainy
season is said to be the latest since
1904 and the showers OF the past
week have relieved what threatened
to be serious drouth in dry farming
sections of the state. Inroads have
been made on the crops of Coch1se
county by birds and insects and over
the state rabbits are more of pest
this summer than for years past. In
the Salt River valley the cantaloupe
season is closed Drying up Of vines
cut down the yield in some fields but
the season as whole was we'll up tG
normal. Moderate day temperatures
and warm nights have favored cottor
and the plants are fruiting heavily
Shedding, which is to be expected a
this time. so far has been less thar
usual. This is nearly the peak o
the irrigation season and water is be

BONDS FINALLY CARRIED.

At the school bond election last
Saturday there were 1877 votes cast
134 for bonds and IS against, thus
the bonds are unquestionably author
lied.
The seeming lack Of interest and
the smaller vote is due, it seems, to
a different understanding of the mat
ter brought about by the meeting
some time ago to discuss the ques-
ton. This pcaceable and intelligent
settlement is gratifying to all who
have had part in the controversy. II
shows that in putting public propo-
sition before the people it is we'll to
have a calm discussion of the points,
in issue. Most persons are inclined
to look at public matters dispassion-
ately when given the opportunity to
weigh them and form correct opin-
ions, and the public good is seldom
lost sight of or hndered when proper
publicity is given.

Perry A. Brown, aged 81, an em-
ploye at Rock Island arsenal, rcsd-
ing at 1917 Seventh avenue, was ia
tally injured last evening when tho
bicycle on which he was riding was
struck and overturned by motor
cycle driven by Herman Mahnke,
also an arsenal workman. The acci-
dent occurred on the south end of the
government viaduct bridge about
o'clock. Brown died at st. Anthony 5
hospital at 9:2O last evening.
Both men were returning from
work along the southbound track
when Mahnke's motorcycle, overtak-
ing Brown, struck the rear wheel of
the latter's bicycle, causing him to bc
thrown violently to the pavement on
the northbound track. He fell on his
right side, fracturing the skull and
bruising his face and shoulder.

ment was administered. He was lat
cr taken to st. Anthony's hospital
where he died without regaining con
sciousness The Rock Island city am
bulance was summoned shortly after
the accident occurred, but was not
permitted to remove Brown from the

claims that Brown was attempting TO
cross from one side of the bridge to
the other when the collision took
place. He denies that he was driving
at high rate of speed.
