farm implements were lost In the
blaze. Mr.. Ramsbury had intended
to thresh today and for that reason
had moved most Of his implements
out Of the barn. thereby saving
them. No, livestock was lost.
The fire is believed to have been
started by some chicken thieves.
Some minutes before the flames
were discovered Mr.. Ramsburg
heard the chickens making a noise,
and the theory is that chicken
thief was in the yard and dropped
a match which ignited the material
that made the fire.

the president is with regards to the
American army of occupation in
Germany. These forces have been
maintained in Germany under the
terms of the armistice entered into
on Nov. IL, 1918. The treaty just
concluded also concludes that ar
mistice. Under the present treaty
the United States may still decide
to maintain its forces in Germany
under the terms of the Versailles
pact, but 1t is not bound to do so.
There was considerable pressure
from members of the Senate for the
recall of these troops and it remains
for the president to decide what
course shall be followed. The Unit
ed States holds the right to keep
the troops there if it desires, but
under the provisions of the treaty
it appears that there is little adj
vantage in keeping the American
forces in Germany. Nevertheless
in army circles the opinion prevail
ed today that the American army OF
occupation would be maintained al
though it might be very greatly re-
duced.
The treaty confirms all conces-
sions made by Germany in the Yer
sailles pact and therefore is a con-
firmation of the right of the United
States to its claims upon the Isle
of zap Guided by this information
from Germany in the zap conces-
sions the United States is In a po-
sition to push its claim that the
Pacific island be internationalized

stops in the zap controversy will
follow the signing the treaty are
still matter of conjecture.

IMPORTANT WORK
 ON LITERATURE OF
 THE FRONTIER DAYS

Few persons in the east realize what a real rodeo is like They, some of them, know the sights and sounds of a wild west show-usually overdressed and over-vociferous. But the regular, honest to gosh cowboy work, fresh from the unfenced land of ranch and range, as the poet says, is stranger to them.
 The impressions of a number of F, F. Syfer's friends back east, will be oriented to the realities. Mir. Syfer, who is a keen observer, has written an interesting and compelling narrative of the 1921 Frontier days He has typed number of copies, il- lustrating his pages with photographs pasted among the typed lines, and will send them bound to his friends. Field and Stream, for which he has contributed hunting and fishing stor- ies, will inspect a revised copy of the manuscript for the purposes of still wider informative work among the effete.

SUMMER COLONIES TO HIT PRESCOTT
 NEXT YEAR SAYS

That Prescott next summer will see a complete summer colony of Phoenicians Hooking to this city to escape the torrid weather of the south for the cool pine breezes of old Yavapai, is the conviction of w.. H. Tolleson, of the Tolleson-Samuel Land company of Phoenix, who ar rived here yesterday.
 Due to the slump in the cotton market, and other enterprises, as well as to the general tight condition of money this year, simmer visitors to Prescott have not been coming in the numbers they have heretofore, and will next year. Many look to- ward the reported loosening of money in the east to place the Salt River valley on its financial feet again by next summer, thus causing an influx of visitors to this city.
 Tolleson is deeply interested in opening up a section of the Idylwild tract west of Prescott. He expects to have many summer visitors with their cottages in the tract owned by Tolleson and his associates.

Water Development Is
 Saving to q Pern1itee

Benefit of water developments on forest grazing lands have been con- clusively proven to L. E.. Morris, pernittee grazing his stock on the Cave Creek district, according to the forest service office here. Morris constructed under direction of Ranger Mutz four developments, consisting of cement troughs around springs, ard this spring had four watering places which formerly had been dry during drouths.
 These water developments, which are being encouraged by the service, have given rise to construction of eight new developments within, and two outside, the forest By their con struction, Morris was able to get his cattle through the dry season when other cattlemen of the district were shipping their stock to the Salt River valley for feeding. Many springs went dry this year, it was stated at the forest office, that haven't' been dry since the drouth Of 1904,

The Prescott Gas and Electric company is doing It's share toward preparation for Great Prescott, ac- cording to Bob Connell. Excavation was begun this week for laying of new gas mains large enough to care for the needs of city three times the size of Prescott, Cornell said.
 Mains measuring from to 6 inches in diameter will be laid across all streets included in the downtown paving district, to avoid tearing up of paving later on as requirements Of Prescott gas users grow. Work is being started near the bridge, in front of Byers' shop on Granite street
 Mains in use at present, which will be left undisturbed outside the pay ing district, are two inches in diam eter. The new mains will extend on each side of the paved streets dis tance to permit the company to couple to them later on as larger mains are laid elsewhere.
 "Oh, yes," Bob said, when he had conveyed this information. "The Prescott Gas and Electric company is not using lanterns to warn off motorists from its excavations. It's using electric lights"

According to Willis the trip from Flagstaff to Pine via Mormon lake was negotiated without much difficulty; while the roads were quite bad, Willis states, there $ no reason why any car cannot get thru.
