OF
COCHISE COUNTY
IS REMARKABLE
By WILLIAM HOOD,
1888 Ninth Street.

One of the last few Indians to roam
at large, some so years ago, came
silently out of the forest and took
his stand on a high pinnacle In the
wild Chiricahuas and lookel long
and silently to the west over the
broad plains of Sulphur Springs val
ley. If one could have been near
him and interpreted his inner
thoughts, he would have found some
thing very similar to the follow
ing: ST stand on the summit of the
Chiricahuas 1 look to the red caves
of the rising sun. LOOK to the
valleys of the whitewaters, where
dwelled the tribes of Cochise. Gone
is the tribe of my father-gone, is
the antelope and the mule deer. -
And one would have seen in the face
of the Indian the realization that
his hunting grounds were his no
more; that the wire fence would soon
cover the broad plains. He realized
that this was his last stand; the
pale face was his superior.
This Indian has long since passed
OH to the happy hunting grounds,
and posterity sees in reality what
he saw in imagination. His son no
longer lives, in the rugged noun
tain-land; he is cared for by the
white man who has prospered at the
expense of the freedom of the real
American-the red man. He sees
not the unfenced plains and the in
quisitive antelope, but grade Here
ford cattle grazing in green pastures
bounded by the owners fences. In
many places he finds green garden
plots watered by strange engines,
which pump water from a few feet
under the ground.
Again, continuing his search for
new wonders of the white man, the
Indian comes to the hills of Bisbee
where he finds strange holes in the
ground and whole mountains which
are soon to be torn down by large
machines to get the rich deposits of
copper from the ground. And then in
Douglas the white columns of smoke
that pour eternally forth from the
more smoke than he had seen from
all the forest fires came out of those
black stacks, and disappeared into
the heavens. He did not realize that
seventeen million pounds of copper
came from there every year. In the
red mans brain there was only the
thought that there had been splendid
progress in these strange doings of
the paleface since he had roamed
the forests.
And now we pass on from the In
dian to his superior, we look upon
the visions of the white man for the
future prosperity of the county of
Cochise. The progressive citizen Wis
ualizes vast evolution in the pros
perity of his county. He sees a
revolution in the water supply of the
farmers. Cheap power will replace
the gasoline engines Bigger and

and so enhancing was this multitude
nous display of color, that one of
the members of my party was moved
to remark it's similarity to the preen-
ing of peacock's feathers at sun
down.
Hills and peaks rose like sentinels
high into the sky from the canyon;
trees, hundreds of years old, waved
their plumes lazily in the air as If

and over all, sky so clear as to
seem to make space 1imit1ess, while
gentle breeze famed and cooled

slid again. He must have enjoyed
the sensation of that slide as kid
enjoys the coasters, for again and
again he essayed the climb only to
come sliding back to the starting
point.
A horned toad, who assured me he
was a first cousin to Dick Wick
Halls frog that can't swim up at
Salome (where she danced) paused
to give us the once over and pass
the time of day.
An old gila monster lazily crossed
the road and squatted under a bush
within 10 feet of the car and calmly
turned his gaze upon us. The horned
toad bid us adios at the same time,
and the ladies insisted that we re-
sumo our journey without delay. Re-
luctantly, I did so; but I would have
preferred to have added his company
to our party for I know he would
have made a welcome addition to
Mrs. Gatliff's menagerie at the Curio
cafe in Aqua Prieta.

wended our way until we reached the
bubbling creek and the welcoming
dozens of splendid camping places,

cold spring water from the brook

There followed a lunch that will
long linger in my memory as one
of the most delicious I ever enjoyed;
a lazy, restful hour given over to
our pipes and conversation; then wad-

sand Joined in by grown-ups and
children alike, and a hike up the tall

could look down upon all the world

COCHISE'S BEAUTY SPOT.
by JOHN r. BoULDIN.
1347 thirteenth Street.

In Cave creek mountains not far
away,
All who go there would wish to stay.
And at the entrance to that gate
The Gods of Nature for you await.
Enter there in the grey of morn
When the flush of day is scarcely
The colors changing from grey to
light
Are surely beyond the painters might.
You gaze with awe on this splendor
grand
At the entrance gate of this mystery
The God of Nature is right there in
sight,
If we have the power to discern
Alright.
With the grandeur and beauty of
Cave creek grand,
There is none to compare in other
lands.
To the prospector of the ancient
East,
1t extends indeed a continual feast
OF beauty and mystery that is so
rare
1t would seem to him all Natures
secrets are hidden there.
For pleasure, health or beauty rare
No place in Cochise can compare.
Turn where you will, go where you
may
The natural beauty is there to stay.
Just forget your cares and go away
To Cave creek to spend one day.
Then you will come back to town
Wearing smile instead of a frown.
Now to my fellow man: Let Cave
creek rest
And her natural beauties don't modest
To mar the beauties of natures best
Has been mans greatest earthly pest.
For the great trees on the mountain
side
Have long since caused that rushing
tide
To fill Cave creek below
grow,
Where the growth is green and
splendid
And the flowers are rich and grand.
For there is none can compare
In old Cochise land.
The great rocks, rising like battle
ments
At the foot of these mountains stand
AS if to protect them properly
From the devastating hand of man.
And at the entrance to this mountain
retreat
Old Cathedral Dome is the first you
meet
The watchdog and guardian of this
great land,
Just a great rock towering to the
skies,
That never sleeps, nor never dies,
Guarding the entrance to this beauty
spot
Once seen, is ne'er forgot.
From fire and brand and hostile hand
We hope it may forever stand.
One more surprise which is not in
sight
Will show the power of natures
might.
Go to the foot of Cave creek bluff,
Which is not a beginning to see
enough,
Go below in this underground shrine
It will be like sight restored to the
blind.

Two Large Sales

A. P. Rams, president Of the Min

week. Mr.. Rams informed US that his
company had sold to DIR. A. Fritsche
of New Ulm, "a head of registered
Duroc Jersey brood sows, which will
be delivered to the doctors farm near
New Ulm, on which a modern hog
barn is being erected. Hoyer Bros.
of Golden, also purchased 20 head Of
registered Hampshires. They have
just completed the erection of mod
ern hog barn.
The bureau has sold 204 brood
sows of various breeds the past year
and at present over 100 brood sows
are being bred at Glover Bloom farm,
which is the assembly and distribu-
ting point for the Minnesota Swine
Breeders Promotion Bureau. Mr..
Rams is very well pleased with the
past years business and looks forward
to good year. Service and courtesy
have been the chief factors in the up
building of the bureaus business.
This year completes Mr.. Rams tenth
year in the pure bred hog business.
Up to April LIST of the present year
he specialized in Chester White swine,

lated.-Springfield Advance.

Employees Kick To Governor
On Insurance Raise

Charges that the Minnesota Com
: pensation Insurance Board has grant
ed increase in the rates to be col
lected by companies insuring employ
ers under the workmen's compensa-
ton act, without sufficient investiga-
ton of the need of such increase
were made to Governor Christensen
recently by the Minnesota Employers
= association.
The board is composed of George
W. Wells, Jr., as state insurance COM
missioner; F. A. Duxbury as men,
Der of the state industrial commission
and R. V. Mothersill, an examiner
under the commission appointed by
the governor.
The association declares that S.
100000 is paid to compensation insur-
ance companies in Minnesota annual
ly, of which 100000 is allotted to
the expenses of doing business, and
that the insurance board has author
lied increases in the expense item
without making inquiry as to what
the companies expenses in Minneso-
ia actually are, or why the 100000
is not enough, or much more than
enough
The association pointed out to the
board how valuable information on
the subject could be obtained, but the
commission refused to follow the
course suggested.
Probably the largest item of insur-
ance profits, concerning which the
companies refuse to give any inform
alton, the employers say, is from in
terest on reserve funds.
The companies may collect S1,OOO,-
600 in premiums to pay the expected
losses in any particular industry, but
that amount may not be paid out for
losses until three years, or much
longer.
Until it is paid out it is known as
reserve and is invested in various
ways. ,F4 =
The income from such investments
of the Ohio state insurance fund co.
uals 14.5 per cent of the annual pre-
miums collected, New York state fund
rs per cent, Oregon state fund 7 per
cent and West Virginia state fund IL
per cent.
The stock companies have not been
required to make any disclosure of
such investment income in Minnesota
but if it only equals per cent of the
annual premiums, it is enough to
wipe out all claimed losses and show
a profit of $1s9,324 for the period
from 1918 to 1923 inclusive. At Z
per cent it indicates profit to the
companies on Minnesota business
alone of $507,005 for the same period.
