GENERALLY speaking, a watch is
~ the smallest and most delicate of
instruments made Of the same num-
Der of parts Some 175 pieces OF ma
terial enter into the construction Of a
watch, and more than 2,400 separate
operations are included in its manu-
facture.
Some facts connected with its max
ing seem almost incredible. A black
smith strikes many hundred blows
during the course of his working day,
and, as a matter OF course. is glad
when night comes; but the Jewel
roller of a watch makes $4,000 i'm
pacts against the fork every day, or
157,6s0.00O blows during the course
Of a year. This amounts to some g.
15s, SOC, 900 blows during the space OF
twenty years, the period for which
good watch is usually guaranteed to
keep correct time.
But the wonders OF the watch do
not cease here. 1t has been calculat-
ed that the power that moves
watch is equivalent to only four times
the force exerted in fiea's jump.
Tho watch-power Is. therefore, what
might be termed the equivalent OF a
four-fea power. One horsepower
would suffice to operate 270,000.000
watches.
Moreover, the balance wheel OF a
watch is moved by this four-fea-
power one and forty-three one-hun-
dredths inches with each vibration or
tnu nClv wear
To most persons the whims and ca
prices OF watch are deep mystery.
The many parts Of timepiece ap-
parently enter into conspiracy at
times to the end that the owner may
miss trains and engagements.
Ono very common cause OF the
watch gaining or losing Is the dis
position made Of it:at night. II you

When the heat of the, body causes

BY this time, however, the wind,
which had been steadily rising. had
acquired such force that considered
it necessary to leave the ridge and
continue our ascent by traversing out
across the great northern face OF
Mount Everest, hoping by SO doing
to find more shelter from the icy
blasts. It was not easy to come to
this decision, because I saw that be-
tween US and the shoulder the climb
ing was all plain sailing and pro-
sented no outstanding difflculty.
Leaving the ridge, we began to
work out into the face. For the
first few yards the going was suf-
f1ciently straightforward but pres
entity the general angle became much

ated by the fact that the stratifica-

shelved outward and downward,

footholds difficult We did not rope,

Gov. Hunt Raises
Chinese Pheasants

Every successful business man has
hobby, supposedly for the purpose
of lifting his mind out of the rut, and
Governor Hunt, of Arizona, is running
true to form in this respect.
Many are the forms of hobbyizing
practiced by the average man. Some
spend their leisure hours bedecked in
plaid stockings and Knee panties coax
ing an elusive ball into tin cup with
the aid of a fancy crooked stick. 9th
ers kill time by attempting to strain
the bla out of their radio sets. Still
others Danish worry by becoming
poultry experts and mathematician in
the tired business mems class at the
musical comedy.
Governor Hunt, however, is not to
be found in any of these groups for
the hobby he rides is raising Chinese
pheasants. He got his idea from the
preasant preserves of Siam and India.
Upon his return from his service as
minister to Siam, Hunt ordered set
ting of Chinese pheasant eggs and
placed them under an old hen. Three
Scrawny chicks were the net result
of the experiment The governor de-
cided that the eggs might hatch bet
ter under pheasant hen. Accord
ingly he obtained shipment of birds
direct from the royal pleasantly of
Siam and started in the breeding game
on a scientific basis.
Today the governor has 100 adult
birds raised in Arizona These he is
dividing into IL units, which he pro-
poses to place in different localities
about the state in care of those who
will assist him in achieving the main
idea which is this:
Under close supervision each unit
will be allowed to multiply until d
total of 1000 or more birds have been
matured. These will then be planted
in their natural haunts, and protected
by special closed season of several
years. At the end of that period it
is figured there will be plenty of
pheasants for all who care to hunt
them
Arizona sportsmen are highly pleas
ed over the propagation of the Chinese
pheasant in Arizona, and predict that
under Governor Hunts plan it will
become a noteworthy success.
incidentally the governor is trying
to build up the wild turkey population
as we'll He is raising the wild birds
on an extensive scale for the purpose
of restocking those sections of the
state where the birds have been killed
off by hunting out of season.

DIED AT ST. JOHNS LAST WEEK

Last Saturday between IL noon and
200 p. M, Grandpa diversion passed
away after an illness of few weeks
He was 81 years of age and has lived
in ST. Johns for the past 43 or A
years. He is the father of ten child
rem, eight sons and two daughters.
Six sons and one daughter survive
him. His wife passed away some two
years ago.
For the first few years in st. Johns
the family lived on their farm down
in the old st. Johns field in the days
when farming was among the chief in
dustries of this part of the county,
Johns where Mr.. diversion conducted a
feed stable for number of years or
until the automobile took the place of
the horse
He has built two beautiful homes
in our city which will be monuments
to his name for years to come.
Although Mr.. diversion lived a very
quiet life, it is to such men as he, that
the people of st. Johns and Apache
county enjoy the peace and prosperity
that has existed here for SO many
years.
Funeral services were held at the
academy Sunday October 5th, where
many friends and relatives paid their
last respects to the departed. The re-
mains were inferred in the Westside

THREE DAM SITES ON

Discovery of three new dam sites

of which may figure prominently in
the development of the streams power
and irrigation resources, has been an
nounced by E. c. LaRue, of the United
States geological survey on his return
from a 30-day trip of exploration
down the river.
Surprising figures will be submit
ted to Washington, and at least one
of the new SITES we found may figure
prominently in the Colorado develop
ment," said LaRue. This expedition
completes the investigation of the
Colorado's water course, and the gov
eminent will now be equipped with
information concerning any portion of
the stream"
LaRue and his associates, on the ex-
petition surveyed a total of seven
dam sites. They encountered numer-
Gus hardships in their progress down
the streem, at one time losing most
of their food and supplies when an
unexpected rise in the river capsized
