QUALITY OF

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for July 81:
The Obligations Of Friendship-1 Samuel 1914; 1917.
And it came to pass, when he had made an end Of speaking unto
Saul, that the soul Of Jonathan was knit with the soul Of David;
and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
And Saul took him that day, and would let him 90 no more home
to his fathers house.
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him
~ his own soul.
And Jonathan stripped himself OF the robe that was upon him,
and gave 1t to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to
his bow, and to his girdle.
And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that
they should kill David.
But Jonathan, Sauls son, delighted much in David: and Jonathan
told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee. Now, there
fore, l pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide
In a secret place, and hide myself:
And 1 will go out and stand beside my father in the field where
thou art, and will commune with my father of thee; and what
I see, that I will tell thee.
And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said
unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David;
because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have
been to theeward very good.
For.h did put his life in his hand, and slew the Phiistine, and
the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it,
and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent
blood, to Stay David without a cause?
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware,
AS the Lord lveth, he shall not be slain.
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those
things: and Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his

Eastern Yeggs On
Their Way West

Robbery Of the show-window of the
Black jewelry store in Winslow Sun
day night, and blowing Of the safe of
the Flagstaff Lumber company the
same night, is believed to have been
accomplished by the same gang of
bandits, according to Winslow officers
who have been investigating.
The burglary of the Black jewelry
store occurred a few minutes before
1000 o'clock Sunday night, when the
bandits broke large plate-glass win
dow and grabbed up what jewelry
they could reach amounting to about
$50, and when the robbery was dis
covered a short time later they had
made good their escape.
It is reported that safe was blown
open at Gallup on Saturday night in
dicating the thieves were travelling
west on general collection tour.
Probably keeping their hand in until
they reached Los Angeles.

PREDICTS BUM TIME
FOR LEGISLATURE

Doom, dismay, defeat-these and
other misfortunes hang over the pros
pective special session of the state
legislature, like a pail Of artillery
smoke over a besieged city, according
to the message given by the stars to
Mrs. Nellie Hayward, astrologer, for
mer member of the Arizona legisla-
ture and head of the women's suffrage
movement in this state and at present
an employe of the corporation COM
mission.
Rough sailing for political party
leaders, both administration and anti
administration will result from the
launching of the legislative craft on
special session seas that will be af-
flicted by a troubled moon all day
March 80, the date for extraordinary
convention, the woman predicted.
Briefly and definitely Mrs. Hayward
expressed the opinion that events pre-
cipitated at the Forthcoming session
will end in the courts.
At present the legislature is under
recess of the regular session which,
according to law, was to adjourn
March 10. Should the extra session
last to April 18 and later the state
will be faced with peculiar situation
of having a regular as we'll as a spe-
cial session.

After Fifteen Years
FaLtin Must Hang

Creeping out of the shadows of 10
years to spring upon a victim who
reached for freedom and drew his doom
death is closing in upon William Fal-
tin, slayer of Carl Peterson, and the
gallows that has been in readiness
since territorial days surrendered to
statehood must now be sprung, was
in an opinion handed down Tuesday
by the supreme court of Arizona
squashing the writ Of .habeas corpus
issued in Faltin's case ard remanding
the petitioner to cell to await exc
cution. The opinion was written by
Justice Lockwood, with Chief Justice
Ross and Justice McAlister concur
ring.
Faltin escaped the moose in 1929
after he was adjudged insane and
was committed to the state hospital,
but the high court held that after he
was again adjudged sane and was
returned to the prison, he was under
the original sentence and should be
executed.

Utah Governor
Calls Seven State
River Conference

Invitation to conference of gov
ernors or representatives of the states
originally included in the so-called
seven state compact on the Colorado
river project, has been issued by Gov
ernor Dern of Utah.
Letters were sent, Governor Dern
said, to governors of Arizona, Cali
fornia, New Mexico, Wyoming, Ne
vada and Colorado.
Arizona, Governor Dern said, had
agreed to be represented at the meet
ing.
Word has also been received from
California, tentatively accepting the
invitation to the new conference.
Governor Dern said the object of
the new conference would be to
thoroughly discuss all phases of the
Colorado river project"
"The conference will not necessaril-
ly mean a new seven state compact
will be drawn up" Governor Dern
said. "But if majority of governors
of the six states involved, besides
Utah, accept the invitation, we will
undoubtedly plan a program for
action that will result in some mutual
agreement for the development of the
waters of the Colorado river"
The conference will be held at the
state capitol in Salt Lake City.

Arizona is in the nature of things
a range and grazing country. Today
85 per cent of the state, total area
of 72,000,000 acres, is devoted to the
grazing of live stock. Allowing for
all intensive farming developments, to-
be brought about by irrigation expan-
sion, such as the contemplated Colo
rad6 river project, it is estimated that
the grazing lands of Arizona will new
er be reduced to less than rs per cent
of the total area. The authority for
these statements is furnished by E.
B. Stanley, animal husbandman oil the
Arizona College of Agriculture. Sew
eral recent surveys have been made
under his direction, and at present his
staff is working on one of the most
comprehensive surveys of cattle and
sheep production on the open range
that has ever been undertaken. This
survey is being made jointly with the
New Mexico College of Agriculture.
Range cattle production is a pioneer
industry in Arizona. Spanish "long-
horns" roamed the country as early as
1921. Although the "longhorn" steer
has disappeared, he did possess one
valuable characteristic endurance
and it was this quality, no doubt, that
made possible the establishment of o
permanent cattle industry here. The
discovery of gold in California in 1848
and the annexation of Texas gave a
great impetus to the cattle industry in
the range country. Gold miners and
settlers had to be fed and beef was
then big item in the diet of ev-
cry family, The Indians made life
miserable for the early cattlemen, but
after the redmen were confined on
reservations, the cattle population in
creased rapidly.
In 1885, there were only 21T,210
head of cattle in Arizona; in 1910, the
number had increased to 626,000 head;
in 1915, the total had climbed to 791, Z
600, andthe million mark was reached
| in 1920. The last survey in 1924 in
dicated that there were 1000, 900 head
of cattle in Arizona.
In the early stages Of the industry
the cattle barons fought to the death
for the use Of the free range; cattle

We might add here that San Fran
cisco is looking all the while for more
water. Why not invite it in also, Los
Angeles?
Now we have another reason adj
vanced for the big fight which has
been put up for the waters OF the
Colorado. Southern California must
have this water for development. Why
not come out and say so and meet
Arizona and the other states on the
level with its problem instead OF hid
ing behind piece of glass? But Arl-
zona needs water for development
also, and California knows this and is
out to see that this state gets just as
little of it as possible. Arizona has
millions of acres of land that could be
made fertile with water. But before
| irrigation connes domestic consunp-
| ton and if California needs the water
| for that purpose, she could secure her
needs by an open and liberal declara-
ton of her problem.
But Los Angeles doesn't need TINS
water for domestic consumption; she
needs it for irrigation of truck and
garden plots. Why is it necessary that
| She have more water than New York
City. which is using only 1000 second
feet? Los Angeles Owens river por-
| iect supplies that. And New York is
a CITY of 100000 inhabitants. Why
| is it necessary that she have 1,5OO sec
ond feet more Of water. A difficult
question.
But Los Angeles is going to get the
Boulder dam; she admits it.. ...

pre-eminently in the minds of all Cali

What a splendid piece of propa-.

ARIZONA'S GREAT GRAZING
AREA COVERS ", 900, 900 ACRES

men and sheepmen fought out their
grudges with guns; "rustlers" were
common, and helped write a vivid
chapter in the history Of Arizona.
A gradual transition has been in
progress for the last few years. In
stead of adhering to the policy of ex-
pansion, greater concentration is be-
ing practiced. Increased operating
expenses have made it imperative to
adopt a more compact unit. Control
measures have been maintained to
conserve the forage. The permit sys-
tenn of grazing stock on government
forest lands, put into effect in 1905,
was long step in this direction. Fif-
teen per cent of the entire area of the
state is in forest lands.
During 1925, there were 25, ,403 cat
tie, 282,508 sheep and goats and IL
TAB horses grazing on these forest
lands. A great area is included in the
Indian reservations, and stockmen are
permitted to lease unused lands in
this class. Some of the best grazing
lands IN the state are included in the
San Carlos and Apache reservations.
Prior to the advent Of intensive oc-
cupation of the range areas, Arizona
had unsurpassed range. Grass grew
high and cattle feeding on it grew fat
very rapidly. But the overstocking Of
the range destroyed some of it and
damaged the rest. Denuded of its
natural grass covering, much of the
land washed badly, and erosion be
came a matter of serious concern. 1t
still is. In spite of the harmful eff
fects of overgrazing, however, Arizona
is still one Of the principal range cat
tie centers of the United States.
The yearling steer is the main
product of the ranges. Fully three
fourths of the Arizona range cattle
are marketed in California. Tho
proximity of the coast markets has
lowered the cost of selling. The busi-
ness of fattening cattle is of minor
Significance here, as compared with
the production Of stockers and feed
ers.
Interest is increasing in sheep and
goat raising, and there is growing
belief in some sections that they may
lbe even better adapted to Arizona
conditions than beef cattle are.

A Story of the Origin
!. of Name "ArizOnG''

Theories dealing with the origin of
the name Arizona" are almost as
numerous as the historians who have
attempted to deal with the subject.
Some hold that the name is COR
rupt;on of the Spanish phrase mean
'arid zone"
Others have connected the origin of
the name to various Indian words, of
different tribes, having similar
sound.
1t is a much mooted question, the
origin Of the word Arizona"
Edward w. Wells, the well known
writer on early Arizona history, cites
the following brief legend, which is
said to be accepted by the Apaches as
an account of the origin of the name.
The Apaches derived the story from
the Aztecs, Mr.. Wells says.
"The earth is the offspring OF the
sky. 1t is filled with beautiful 'crea-
tions we cannot see. Long prior to
the present race of men the earth was
peopled by race of giants, who died
off, leaving the earth uninhabited.
After a long time, a celestial virgin,
a child of one of the thirteen great
deities who governed on high and who
ruled all things, came from the sky
down to the earth, and, being well
pleased, remained for long time its
sole inhabitant. Once, when in deep
sleep, drop of dew from heaven fell
upon her, and she bore two children, a
son and daughter. from whence have
sprung all the people of the earth.
"The name of this celestial virgin
was Arizona-or called by some, Ari-
zunia-the beautiful or sun beloved
maiden!" miami Silver Belt.
