49 PURCHASERS OF LAND
 PAY FOR TRACTS IN CASH

An unusual feature of the public land sale held by the state land de- partment in Tombstone, Tuesday, Oc- tober r, according to Rudolph Kuch- Ter, state land commissioner, was the fact that nine of the 49 purchasers of tracts, paid the entire purchase price of their tracts with spot cash. This would indicate, Kuchler said, that money is much easier in the state and that times are returning to nor malcy.
 A total of 1O,47S acres of state lands, all school and institutional grants, located in Cochise county, were sold at the sale, which was held at the court house in Tombstone un- der the direction of Kuchler, assisted by T. L. Macleod, chief engineer, and c. F. Ashley, chief accountant of the land department.
 The lands offered for sale were divided into 49 parcels and all offer ed were sold. The total sale price of the 49 parcels of lands was S39,697.36.
 Only a small portion of the lands offered was improved.

ARIZONA FLOUR WINS RIBBON

Two loaves of bread made from Arizona flour were entered in the Bread Contest at the Cochise County Fair held in Douglas last week. These loaves created a good deal of interest on the part of the housewives and spectators, as the use of Arizona flour for bread making is still in the exper- mental stage. However, one of the loaves entered compared so favorably with bread baked from the northern hard wheat that it was awarded the second place in the contest on general qualifications. This particular loaf was baked by a housewife who will continue her experiments and it is ex- pected that even better results will follow. The bread was of good color and flavor, even in texture, had an even well-browned crust, but a little less feathery in quality than bread made from flour which contains a higher percentage of gluten. The Arizona flour requires some special care in handling and preparation but when these things are once learned it is expected that very satisfactory loaf will be prepared with no more trouble than from any other flour.

TWO OLD ARIZONA BONDS
 FOUND IN SAN FRANCISCO

Bonds 149 and 150 of the Maricopa county railroad issue of the early sos which were lost for ten years, have been found in San Francisco, in pos session of the Drexel estate, accord. ing to Fairfield and Earhart, state auditor and treasurer. The total is- sue was for $200,0OO, all bonds being payable to bearer. When the bonds were declared void by the United States supreme court the state re- deemed all bonds but 149 and 15O, a total redemption of 198,OO0. The state is now arranging to pay interest on the bonds which amounts to more than the principal. When it became known two bonds were missing, search started and San Francisco at- tolneys reported to the Arizona state officials the bonds were in the Drexel estate, MT. Drexel having bought the bonds back in the sos.

FIGHTS THREE
 BEARS - HOG-TIES ONE

One of our readers in the mountain district to the south sends in the fol lowing bear story:
 While riding the range, Roy Hall came across three bears and took af- ter them. One ran up tree, then he turned after another and succeeded in roping it. His bronco raised such a fuss that he dismounted, unloosened his lariat from the saddle horn, and snubbed it around tree. During this operation the bear took a mean ad- vantage by reaching around the tree and grabbing Roy by the hand, while he was fastening the rope. Then a scrap ensued, Roy finally getting MT. Bruno down and tying him securely and putting a muzzle on him. The other bear in the meantime, climbed down from the tree and watched the contest without offering tr take part on either side. The third one-the old one of the party-put in her time in trying to get at the bronco, but the bronco kicked so wickedly that the bear finally gave it up as a bad job. The two wandered off into the woods while the one that had been muzzled and tied became quiet. MT. Hall went to a sheep camp for pack burro and when he got back the bear he had tied and muzzled was dead. Said he guess ed he choked him to death when they were fighting, or else he had got the muzzle on too tight. The bear chewed up his hand rather badly, it is said.- St. Johns Observer.

TEAM AND SCRAPPER FALL
 OVER SOFT. BEREAVEMENT

What might have been a disastrous accident on the highway between Hol. brook and St. Joseph resulted in noth. ing but considerable excitement ano a couple of scared horses. It seems that team belonging to John De Witt, employed on the new highway dragging a scraper, got too near the brink of an embankment. The scrap CT went off the bank, followed by one horse and then by the other. Down the declivity they went rolling over and over for a distance of probably 150 feet. Perpendicularly, the drop is not over 30 feet, but the descent, all on an incline, is about the for mer figure.
 The men rushed down to where the horses were, expecting that they had been mutiliated and killed. But what was their surprise to find the animals getting up, somewhat scared, but al.- parently not injured in the least. Af- ter careful examination it was found that not a bruise was to be found on the animals, and they are again work ing on the job to all appearances as well and active as they ever were.
 MT. Dewitt and others have a con- tract on the new highway, and are said to be making excellent progress with the work. When the road is com- pleted between Holbrook and Winslow it will be one of the finest in this part part of the southwest. It will be "A feet in width, and being under federal aid and state supervision, it is a fore gone conclusion that it will rank with the best of them.-Holbrook Tribune
