Heavy Shipments OF
Cattle From North

Light to heavy scattered showers
fell over the grazing areas during the
past week, refreshing the ranges and
water supply, both of which are gen.
orally excellent. The cattle in the
neighborhood of Ft. Bayard, New Mex
leo, continue in good condition, where
nearly one inch of rain fell Quite
heavy shipments of cattle have been
made from northern Arizona; the OBJ
server at Holbrook states that up to
date one hundred and sixty-five cars
have been forwarded this season. Con-
ditions continue good there. Range
conditions are improved at Pinedale,
and cattle are excellent. Stock, range,
and water are also excellent in the
Whiteriver country. Nearly half an
inch of rain was reported at Selig-
man; water is ample there, and stock
are in good condition. Cattle and
range are in good condition also at
Grand Canyon. Telegraphic advices
indicate light rain and good ranges at
Prescott. There was no precipitation
in the Douglas section, but cattle and
range are reported in good condition.
In the Salt River and Yuma Valleys
the weather was too hot for lettuce
planting. Cotton is satisfactory. In
the Yuma section there were hot days
and cool nights. Cotton picking is
brisk: over 1000 bales have been
ginned this season. The first crop of
alfalfa seed is gathered, and the sec
ond crop is we'll along. General let
tuce planting will take place with
cooler weather. Date harvest has be-
gun in southern Arizona where a
large crop is in prospect.

Sheep RGisers
See Good Year

With the lamb shipments practically
completed, the bulk of the feeders yet
to move, and the ranges in better
shape than they have been in many
years, the sheep men of the state are
looking forward to an exceptionally
good winter, according to A. A. Johns,
president Of the Arizona Wool Grow
ers' association, who is spending a
few days in Phoenix.
'I have never seen the ranges, feed
and water in better shape" he de-
clares, "and prospects for the fall and
winter have never been better than
they are now. Prices are fair, though
not high enough to cause a boom, but
they are good enough to make all the
sheep men feel optimistic"
Most of the eve lambs are being
kept this year for breeding and re-
stocking purposes, and shipments are
expected to be lower than last year
Sheep men are beginning to move
their stock back to desert pastures
for the fall and winter, and Harry
Embach, secretary of the Wool Grow
ers association, has reopened his Of
flee at 1874 South Central avenue,
Phoenix, after having maintained sum-
mer headquarters in Flagstaff since
June Is.

With few more years, the ferry Will
pass into history with the completion
of the new bridge to be erected five
miles below the present ferry.
To those not acquainted with the
northerngpa of Arizona, it is diff
cult to realize what the completion of
the bridge will mean in the increase of
tourist traffic into Arizona. Compile
tion of the work will mean central
arterial highway, almost all of which
can be included in United States high
way number 80, from Nogales at the
Mexican border to Salt Lake City,
Utah. Improvements of the highway
from Flagstaff to the bridge, especial
ly the part from Cameron north, also
are likely to be hastened following
the opening of the bridge to traffic.
This will see the passing of Amer
ica's last frontier which will give way
to the twentieth century caravan of
covered wagons believed certain to
come 100000 strong to see the Won
ders that few even in Arizona have
yet seen.
After a comfortable night at A
Cross ranch where Mr.. and Mrs. Buck
Lowry make one comfortable and
where rushing waters put one to
sleep, the motorlogists pushed on for
Jacobs Lake and the North Rim of
the Grand Canyon, 95 miles away. The
first 81 miles to Jacobs Lake was
over slow sandy roads and included a
climb up Buffalo Hill out of House
Rock valley that was by far one of
the most thrilling rides experienced
by the autoists.
Guided BY Buffalo
Before reaching Buffalo Hill, they
encountered a, buffalo who challenged
their right to pass, but after being
personally conducted along by the fine
looking creature for quarter of a
mile, he decided to let them pass and
ambled off into the desert, no doubt
to join the herd that roams in House
Rock valley and which is protected
from cougars by famous Uncle jim
mie Owens.
Following the colorful vermilion
cliffs through House Rock valley and
on up Buffalo Hill out of the valley
over a 26 per cent grade, they tarried
long enough at the top, which is $500
feet high, for view over the beauti-
full valley with varied lights playing
on the vermilion cliffs just at sun
down. They then entered the Kaibab
forest, whose eastern boundary is at
this point.
The Kaibab is beautiful. 1t is more
like a city park than the largest vir-
gin forest in America. In fact it is a
park, cleaner than many city parks
and chuck full of beautiful glens, open
spaces, bordered by white boiled quak-
ing aspens and earpeted by velvet-like
grass, and numerous lovely.wild flow
ers and ferns.
Beautiful Kaibab
Kaibab is a Piute Indian word
meaning mountain lying down., de-
scription that fits it WELL Actually it
is a vast plateau, so miles long and
35 miles wide, containing 5000 square
miles of pine and spruce diversified
by the charming aspen. In elevation,
it rises from $500 to $500 feet above
sea level.
After entering the forest, the mo-
torists went on to Jacobs Lake
where they turned to the left and con-
tinued over good roads through the
majestic virgin forest to the Grand
Canyon lodge and Bright Angel point
at the North Rim of the Grand Can
yon, 235 miles from Flagstaff and
468 miles from Phoenix, where the
trip started.

QUEER BOLT OF LIGHTNING
KILLS RAILWAY WORKED

A phenomenal bolt of lightning,
jaggedly streaking out of dense
cloud that departed as swiftly as it
had gathered, Tuesday claimed the
life of Francisco Jimenez, 65, Mexi-
can employe of the United Verde Cop
per company at Jerome, and threat
ened the lives of four other workers.
The jagged streak seemed to aim
directly for an iron crow bar which
Jiminez was using while working on
the railroad near here, and the Mexi-
can was instantly killed. Four other
workers were thrown to the ground
but uninjured.
Only for few moments was the
sky darkened by a dense cloud just

WORLDS CHEAPEST GASOLINE

About 100000 capital is in
vested in the petroleum industry. It
pays national, state and local taxes
precisely as other property does. and,
in addition, an astonishing variety OF
special taxes and fees. In some states
as high as 40 per cent Of the total
state revenues come from the oil in
dustry
While foreign countries turn but
five to Ii per cent of crude petroleum
into gasoline, our oil companies ex-
tract about 35 per cent gasoline, and
every year the proportion is increas-
ing. This fact, in spite of exorbitant
saxes and increased cost of product
ion, gives the United States the
cheapest gasoline in the world,
While house furnishings increased
1865 per cent in price from 1913 to
1926; anthracite coal, 1855; woolens

Says RefInerieS Keep
OIL Industry Iii ACti0n

Helena, Feb. 9.The refinery is
the life blood Of the oil industry in
this state, for without the refinery
the producer could not live in Mon
tana, E. B. Coolidge, president Of
the Homestake companies, told the
Joint senate and house gasoline price
investigating committee Wednesday
afternoon. He related his experience
in operating a refinery at the plant
Of the American Refinery company in
Great Falls and Of losing $4,000 in
the seven months OF operation.
Mr.. Coolidge testified that he has
been an oil producer in Montana
since 1920, being an independent oper-
ator, and in that time his companie
have produced about 100000 barrels
of crude. To show what the rafiner-
les, Of which there are now Is in the
state, have done for the industry in
Montana, Mr.. Coolidge said that when
oil began to be produced in Montana
but had to be shipped to Casper or to
Canada, Cat Creek crude 81 barrel
whereas since then it has been more
than SO and last summer brought
$2.4O, and the Kelvin producers got
20 cents as against a present price Of
double that.

Royalty Holders Win
Mr.. Coolidge commented that the
person who makes money out Of oil
in Montana is not the producer, but
the royalty holder and the state Of
Montana is the biggest royalty hold
er. He said there are but few ex-
ceptions to this in Montana oper-
ations.

mittee. inquired of Mr. Coolidge and
other witnesses how the price Of gas.

Local Man Patents
Valuable Invention

An invention OF considerable worth
to the agricultural world and con
ceiyed from the ideas of a local res
ident, came to our knowledge last
week when in conversation with 4.
6. Scribner, father Of Edgar Scrib-
ner, local water salesman, we found
to our interest that the elder Mr.
scribner had recently received a
patent from the Canadian govern
ment on q valuable machine for
stocking grain A patent is now
pending in the United States.
The invention has for its principal
object an improved method Of gather
ing the sheaves of grain from the
binder and discharges the bundles to
the ground in shock formation. 1t
is detachable apparatus which may
be detached or attached to any grain
binder without interfering with the
construction. 1t is automatic in every
detail
The invention consists essentially
Of a portably mounted frame having
rniable drum member suspended
therein and means connected with
the wheels of the machine to effect
lively operate it.
It is simple and effective in oper-
alton and can be manufactured in
large quantities and placed on the
market at a comparatively low cost.
There is not loss of any kind in
shelling or scattering Of the sheavea
as the drum congresses what loose
straws there may be into the shock.
The machine, though simple IN
construction, is plainly the effort of
hard work and painstaking trials
quite evident Of an invention Of this
kind There have been over 400
machines invented, both in the q.
S. and Canada in an endeavor to sim
plify and lower the cost Of shocking
grain. and according TO tests by ac-
tual users Of the former machines
they had defects and faults that made
their use more costly than setting
the shocks up BY hana
