REDUCTION OF CATTLE TO
BE GRADUAL FORESTER

Cattlemen of the state will be given
the opportunity to reduce the cattle in
Arizona to a number which the ranges
of the forests will carry during all
seasons of the year and through the
most drought stricken years in grad
ual manner during the coming year,
according to w. B. Greeley, chief of
the forest service, who was in con-
ference with cattlemen at Phoenix.
Mr.. Greeley informed the local cat
tlemen that there is no intention ON
the part of the service to work "a
hardship on them in making reduc-
tions, as the officials wish to make
the reductions without undue sacri-
flee ON the part of the stockmen.
He declared also that he found
the local cattlemen willing to CO.
operate with the service in making
these reductions, as almost every cat
tleman in the state has assured him
that there is no disposition on their
part to attempt to carry more cattle
than the range will allow.
This reduction viii be carried out
in such a manner, according to Mr..
Greeley, that there will be no unwar-
ranted hardship on the cattlemen, and
at the same time they will be able to
reduce their holdings to such point
that they can safely carry their herds
through all seasons without loss of
stock or without damage to the range.
Mr.. Greeley also discussed the
question of range appraisals with the
eattlemen, assuring them that a
thorough investigation will be made
of all appraisals, and that the graz
ing fees will be adjusted on a basis
that will be fair to all concerned.
Mr.. Greeley will remain here the
rest of the week and will go from
here to California for a conference
with permittees in that state.

INJUN HEAP SAVVY WHY
WIND SHE BLOW SO

People are not aware of the cause
of the great amount of wind that is
so vagrantly toying with the dust and
other moveable things about town the
past month, but if they will consult a
Wallapai astrologer they will learn
that the prime and only cause lies
wholly with the white man who per-
sists in the slaughter of the Sacred
rattlesnake."
The rattler is held in profound ven
Grafton by the Indians of the south
west, because from the appearance of
its head may be foretold weather con-
ditions for the year. When large
white spot shows on the male rat
tiers head there will be an abundance
of rain and snow When rattler is
wantonly killed winds are produced
and when large numbers are slain
through any cause the winds develop
into a gale and continue with little
intermission until there are new moon
or sun phases or seasonal changes.
Every effort is made to propitiate the
wrath of the snake god by the Indians
and when they find one of the sacred
reptiles dead they make offerings Of
all they have to it, and their rain
dances and many other of their fes-
tivals are in the interest of the rattler,
which is the most potent animal Of
the lower world in the development
of seasonal rains.
So, if the whites would have gentle
zephyrs blow, instead of the heavy
breezes of recent months, they will
lay off on their rattler killing propen-
sites. Miner.
