As this constituted about 30 miles of the total 95, it leaves the driver of a motor car with a sense of injury toward the big county to the south. Smith goes on to Jerome and Kingman today, after visiting the local agency, the Prescott Vul- canizing Works.
 Raise Goats Instead
 Some one has suggested that the backyards and waste areas of towns ought to be utilized for raising gar uen truck. They are utilized in many places in Prescott in raising fine wild clover. It is waist high along many sidewalks in the city, and a band of goats could easily graze here for a week or two and get ready for the butchers block on this fine feed. No wonder stray horses and cows love to browse upon the town. Why not utilize the waste places for goat range? It's less work than bending ones back meath the summer sun hoeing a garden.

Neither Goes the fact that one is republican and the other a democrat hurt their feelings. Each is willing to condone the small faults of the other. Mir. Hughes left for Phoenix on the afternoon train yesterday. Weather Is Fine
