| threatens rain. they ascend the roof OF

their lamentations they prevent the RAIN

storms of rain, wind and thunder are
experienced. the palace itself remains
unaffected by them.
So expert are they in their internal
art they may be said to perform what
ever they will. and one instance may
be given. though il may be thought un-
| believable. When the Grand Khan sits
at meals. in his hall of state. the table,
which is placed III the center. is ele-
waited to the height of about eight cubitS
and at distance from it stands a large
buffet. where all the drinking vessels
are arranged.

SHEEP MEN need
BETTER RANGE,
SAYS DOUGLAS
Local Mining Man Reports
Business Around Jerome
Encouraging

That he had found business reason
ably good about Jerome; that the range
country where the sheepmen are graz
ing their bands is in need of moisture
and that there were no new develop
ments in his mining enterprises that
would interest the public were state
mehts Of james S. Douglas, mining
man, who returned to his home here
yesterday after several days passed at
Jerome looking after his business there
He stated that development work is
being carried forward on the United
Verde Extension as has been the case
for some time.
''Sheepmen are complaining of the
need of rain. They have been graz
ing their bands on the desert, but to
make the feed there good, there ought
to be at least one more rain" said Mr.
Douglas. "From every other point of
view the outlook appears bright enough
for the sheepmen. The work of lamb
ing is in progress and reports tell Of
exceptionally good results The fore
cast is for another season of splendid
prices for lambs on fall delivery Wool
prices promise to peg hround 35 cents
and those are all favorable factors
"There are some unfavorable angles
to the situation, however. Just now
sheepmen in some sections are find
ing it necessary to feed the bands and
the hay and other feed is proving ex-
pensive. One Of the well known flock
masters told me he is having to pay
something like three or four cents a
head each day for the needed feet. That
runs into big money with a flock the
size he runs and it carves large hole
out of his prospective profits Another
factor that has entered into the cost
of growing sheep is the large invest
ment with sheep at current prices.
I'm the old days when sheep we're
cheap they were Hanged between the
mesa and the forest reserves in the
mountain which was relatively speak
ing an inexpensive process. But now,
with the value that each animal car
