Temperatures have been suf- ficiently high to cause a marked decrease in the snow cover on the major grazing areas Of the state. Only two inches cover the ground in the Grand Can yon section where last week six inches were reported. Three 1ncHeS aJ TIesCoTU es1rdztvSo-tzr- ches at Williams have disap- peared and the remains of drifts only appear in the vicinity of Flagstaff. The range in the southern part of the state where there has been little precipitat- ion in many weeks is getting very dry; there was good rain at Thacther, the first of import ance since late in January, but the range was affected very little by it. The water supply in the Pinto secien is reported as getting low and stock be- coming thin. The range in the vicinity of Fr. Apache is much improved, water plentiful and cattle good. Under the in fluence of drying winds roads in the northern part of the state are improving and passable ex- cept in short sections in the tim Der.

ANOTHER LION HUNT

Lion StOr1eS, uke lSI Slo11SS must be substantiated by the catch. We have lost interest in those that get away. But when E.. w. (Mike) Foster and Roy Naeiller returned from the chase the other day with a specimen measuring eight feet and six inches from tip to tip we gathered around for the inter esting details.
 Here's the way it happened.
 Several days ago these two experienced hunters followed by their trusty pack turned their faces toward the cold and wind swept peak of Mount Sit greave where rumor led them to believe lion of unusual size made it's lair.
 Working their way up the rough mountainside the eager dogs, keen with the excitement of a coming chase covered ev- cry inch of the ground. Swing ing to the right they crossed the summit and were taking in the north slope when suddenly Queen, the two year old Red bone from the we'll known kennels of Wm. Hochgraef call ed the pack to her heels. Off they went down the rocky mountain side. From boulder to boulder, log to log they chung tenacously to the trail of the fleeing lion. For more than five weary miles they went, the men urging their steaming horses in mad pursuit. 1t seemed to be only a matter of moments until the dogs would tree. But the wiley cat, wise in the ways of the hunt made for a large field of ice and frozen snow and here, doubling and turning in a last frantic eff fort tried to confuse the closly pressing pack. At first it seemed that this ruse had been successful. The dogs hesi- tated, circled backtracked rush ing here and there in theiref- fort to pick up the lost trail. At the very moment when the sorely disappointed men were tempted to call the confused dogs from the search the quivering sensitive nose of Old Queen turned chaos into order. Carefully, slowly. step by step she unraveled the maze of tangled tracks the impatient pack close at her heels. Fin ally, with a triumphant bark she struck the fresh trail in the soft snow beyond. Amid a fearful din of baying throats they were off again. The hunt CTS, close behind knew that the end of the chase was close at hand for now the dogs were close upon the doomed lion running by sight alone. A few minutes later aro1,nd the shoulder of a high cliff they came upon the dogs gathered under 9 tall pine. Hi~h ahove them the big cat snarled, show ing his white fangs. Be it said that these ferocious mouth ings did not disturb the calm and collected Nagiller who raised his rifle and with un- erring aim brought the furry monster crashing to the ground. The waiting dogs 1eaped to the fray-but the razor like claws were powerless. the snapping jaws were still. The great lion of Sitgrave Mountain was dead, the enviable prize of our proud and lucky friends.

We Appreciate What Our
 Neighbors Have Done For Us.

Every farmer III COcOn1IlO County should become boost CT for the Industrial Congress In it's efforts to place Arizona Products First" it has rendered the farmers service of far reaching proportions. It has helped our marketing associat- ion in it's efforts to market our potatoes. It has discouraged the shipping in of outside po- tatoes and has encouraged the people of the south to use our potatoes in preference to the outside product. It has en- couraged the dealers of the south to handle our potatoes to the limit of their capacity. These activities of the Indus trial Congress have borne fruit in every instance. Practically every grocer in Phoenix is handling our potatoes, and most of these stores are becoming advocates of our product. The Maricopa County Farm Bureau has rendered us services equal to or greater than the Industrial Congress. Many of it's mem bers use no potatoes but ours and urge their neighbors to do likewise.
 What have we done to show our appreciation for these ser vices of our neighbors in the south? Are we using Arizona butter, milk, jam. fruits, sweet IoA o4h zona products? If every farm CT in Coconino County will call upon his grocer for Arizona products, and insist that we have the Arizona product we can repay our neighbors for the splendid services they have ren- dered us. Why should you use outside farm products and expect the people of the south to use our potatoes? Why should your grocer buy his fruits, vegetables, dairy pro- ducts, jams etc. from other states when we have an overage in our own state? We are in sisting that the people of the south use our potatoes and they are doing it. They have the same right to insist that we use their products are we doing it?
 This appeal should not be confined to the agricultural class alone, every true citizen If Arizona should feel the justness of the cause. If the farmer is prosperous there will be plenty of money in circulation and jobs for us all. If the pota- toes of Coconino County rot in the cellars because the people of the south use outside pota- toes, and if the products of the southern field waste for want of market while we use the same products from other states every citizen of Arizona will suffer. It Is to the ladies es- peclally that we bring this inn portant matter. It is they, as a rule, who purchase the family groceries. If each house wife will insist upon having the Ari- zona product the dealers must fall in line. With the help of the Maricopa County Farra Bureau and the Agricultural Agent for Maricopa County our Marketing Association succeed ed in it's appeal to the ladies of Phoenix, to use our potatoes. Thus was the demand created which made the marketing of our potatoes possible. We be- lieve our wives are as patriotic as the ladies of Salt River Val ley.
