AN IMPORTANT LITIGATION.

The attempt of the govern,
ment to halt the work started by
James B. Girand on his Diamond
Creek project will be watched
with interest by people of Ari'
zona, says the Bisbee Review.
The outcome of the litigation
will prove whether or not the
state of Arizona or al individual
concern operating under a state
permit has q right to dam up the
Colorado river without sanction
of the federal power commission.
a question that has important
bearing on the future welfare of
Arizona and it's industries. Gi,
rand and his associates have
compiled Eith the law Of the
state, and as the power project
will in no way hinder construc.
ton of other dams or interfere
with food control, it seems i'm.
probable that the courts will
deny him the right to continue.
The power commission was form
ed to protect the rivers and
water ways against needless and
harmful development, and de-
spite the fact that Girand and
his engineers have furnished it
with data to show that the Dia
mond Greek project will in no
way interfere with projects con-
templated by the government or
state, he was refused a permit.
At this time, when taxes are
so high that the mining industry
is threatened with a serious set.
back, it is absolutely necessary
that other capital be induced to
locate in Arizona. Grand and
his associates here started work
on a $36, 100000 project which
not only will raise the assessed
valuation of Arizona, but will
permit the mining companies,
other manufacturing concerns
and farmers to cut their cost OF
operations. Mining properties

RANGE CONDITIONS GOOD.

Although there is a general
need of rain, ,cattlemen and sheep
men of the state report that the
ranges are generally in good
condition. Light snowfall from
time to time in the higher eleva-
tions have served to keep the
range in good shape in those
sections throughout the winter
and the heavy rains in Decem-
Der gave the desert ranges such
start that there is still plenty
of feed for the sheep which are
grazing there now.
The cattlemen who are run.
ming their stock in the higher
ranges report fine feed condi-
tions, but say that the drying
winds which have been blowing
the past few days are having an
adverse effect. To Offset this
there are reports of light SHOWS
in the higher elevations of the
state during the past week which
will benefit the range.

WAR FINANCE CORPORATION

With the announcement that
the War Finance Corporation
will continue to function as All

tivities as q loan agency which
was to have been effected in
March-tbe cattlemen of Ari-
zona we're beginning to feel
genuine apprehension for the
immediate future. This uncer-
tainty was occasioned by the
fact that the credit banks, es.
tablished to carry on the work
of the War Finance Corporation,
had not made a single loan on
range in the southwest during
the eleven months it had been
in existence. So seriously was
the situation regarded by cattle
men of this region, that at the
recent meeting of the Cattle
Growers Association, held at
Douglas, q resolution was pass
ed to secure the appointment of
a committees by the American
Cattle Growers Association, to
go before the national legislative
bodies in an effort to have the
life of the War Finance Corpora
ton extended in the making of
emergency loans to farmers and
stock growers.
Mr.. Clarke, who is appointed
to represent the Arizona asso-
citation in Washington, said that
the extension granted the War
Finance Corporation would in
all probability preclude the ne
cessity of making a trip to Wash

HUNTER KILLS FIFTEEN LIONS.

animals working under the state
livestock sanitary board, north
of Clifton. was successful in
killing fifteen mountain lions
during the past month, accord.
ing to reports received here.
This is q record, according to
local officials, who say that no
single hunter has ever taken so
many mountain lions at any pre-.
vious time during a correspond
ing period in the history of the
state.
Mr.. Miller ran the lions down
with his pack of red ,foxhounds
which have become famous in
the Southwest for their superior
tracking ability. On two differ.
ent days during the month Mr..
Miller was successful in killing
three lions. The recent SHOWS
in the mountains near the dis

Dear SIR
There is an impression in Ari-
zona that Santa Cruz poultry are
infected with foot and mouth
disease. Many letters have been
received from your State by
hatchers indicating that this be.
lief is common. ~ 1
In justice to the poultrymen
of this county, / am asking the
press of your State to give this
letter publicity.
There has not been a case of
infection reported within 100
miles OF this locality;--not a
cleaner county in California than
Santa Cruz. All highways are
carefully guarded to prevent
contamination from outside
sources; slaughter houses in
spected daily Ly government
deputies; national, state and
county officers are co operating
to stamp out the disease in the
San Francisco Bay counties.
Latest reports from infected dis.
tricts are encouraging.
Thank you in advance for the
courtesy in publishing this let.

Yours respectfully,
