SPRING VALLEY NEWS

A meeting of the Spring Valley Farm Bureau will be held Sunday, June 19, at the school house at ll:3O A. M. Lunch at noon.
 Spring Valley is in the running with the lucky ones this year. Good show CTS Saturday and Sunday and real rain Monday night. Heavy rains are needed to till the tanks for stock wa- ter. Most of the people are now haul ing water from the W-Triangle tanks. Miller Springs tank has about ten days water. It is now watering 300 head daily. Moritz Lake is lower than in Is years. There are 700 cows to be seen there daily.
 Rabbit Bros. Sheep Co. arrived here this week with four bands.
 Water Witch' True, from Will jams, visited here this week and To- cated water for Wm. Greece ST. and Wm. Greece Jr., M. T. Connors and u. O'Brien secured contracts for dig ging wells for both.
 Stockmen have been loading Spring Valley, Miller Springs, Mortz Lake and Maine to full capacity with cat tie from the winter range the past week.
 Jack O'Brien is on the trail of the prairie dog this season with 30-30, 22, shotgun, and all the poisoned grain he can procure. Jacks mark with the 30-30 IS the jugular vein.
 Traffic on the new county highway from Grand Canyon to Maine is in- creasing daily. County Engineer Wright is responsible for the founda- tion of splendid highway. The road at present far excels the road from Williams to Grand Canyon. The road to Spring Valley equals the highway from Williams to Flagstaff, with a south exposure to the sun, so that quite snow would be needed to stop traffic. The construction gang is at Government Prairie. Ten days will see them at the junction at Maine.
 M. w. Boyette's spud crop got nip ped with frost, but the plants are up again, looking very vigorous.
 o. Wright, Government Prairie, is running a cord-wood saw. It is to be earnestly hoped he will take on some custom work.

Had Large Sum on Hand.

History relates that Croesus was given entertainment on one occasion by Lydian named Pythius, supposed to have been distant relative of Croesus. During the entertainment Pythius informed the king that when he heard of his approach he had made careful count of all his ready money that he had on hand in gold and sil- yer, $24,000,0OO. and that he wished to present 1t to the king as token of regard.
 The king hesltated about taking his money lest Pythius might be reduced to want, but Pythius replied: My lands. estates, slaves and income-bear- ing property are still untouched" This sum of money was simply cash on hand which he had not yet invest ed. At the rate of 10 to in modern purchasing power, Pythius had ready money eoualing $240. 100000.

sio Cattle Ranches No More.

The day of the big cattle ranches has gone and the tendency is now In the direction of smaller herds. The average size of the present herd is TOO head, whereas in former times 1t was many thousands. At the same time the quality of the cattle is im- proving and the animals bring greater prices. The compulsory erection of fences has had something to do with this new condition, for it is now a difficult matter to move a herd around in search of good grazing grounds, as was the custom some years ago.

Who hath the vision of the stars hath an that man may need To help him climb the happy hill of high and noble deed. For he shall lift his eyes from earth and all its sordid dust: And he shall sing and he shall smile and he shall live In trust The vision of the stars-and then the might of hope and faith To lay the ghost of fear and dread and laugh at every wrath. It is a seeing more than sight. that clothes with heavenly guise The beauty that we look upon alone with inner eyes.
