His Complexion Was Against Him

Hadji Hassein Ghooly Khan, envoy extra ordinary and minister plenipotentiary from Persia, is one of the favorites in Washington society, and he is very fond of going out and calling on the ladies, and is always most hos pitably received wherever he goes. That is, almost always, for an experience he had last Sunday afternoon proved that he was not as cordially received at ono house as has been his wont in the past Ghooly Khan started out with the purpose of making round of calls It is his custom to pay bis respects to the ladies of the fashionable world on Sunday the same as on week days Sunday being an extremely pleasant day, his landau was not brought into use. He walked from his resi- dence on M street to Massachusetts avenue, in the neighborhood of Fourteenth street, where the objects of his first call resided. Walking up the stone steps in an indolent fashion, he reached the door and rather tim idly touched the electric bell After finger ing some moments the servant appeared, and before Ghooly Khan could utter word she shouted out: 1.-The ladies are all busy and cannot be bothered with you now"
 "Well," said the minister, completely non- plused, 'there must be mistake; take in my card.n
 'Oh! don't worry them now," answered the servant, not allowing him to finish his sentence ''They are all about going to din- ner and don't care for any one to see them at this time-you'd better come again in the

THE partial survey of the Buttes

THE partial survey of the Buttes reservoir site, fifteen miles east of Florence, on the Gila river, revives public interest in that stupendous en- terprise, and makes the wonders of that opportunity the more apparent. The dam can be economically built to q height of one hundred and sixty feet, ahd when the reservoir is filled the back-water will reach sixteen miles above it, as the fall of the river is uni formly ten feet to the mile. The av- craze width has not yet been learned from the engineer, but it will likely reach nearly two miles, which gives a storage capacity of seventy-one and one-third billionscubic feet of water, with an average depth of eighty feet. This huge volume of water in reserve will secure plenty of water during the dryest summer season to irrigate all the land between the Gila river and the railroad, and for ten miles beyond, from the Buttes to the Maricopa coun- tyline. The water power it will furnish without diminishing the quantity, quality or utility of the water for irri- gation purposes, will not be the least among its valuable uses, for it will not only furnish the motive power for ex- tensive reduction works at convent ent point to receive the abundant ores of the Mineral Hill country, butt can Do utilized in generating electrical power for manufacturing purposes at Florence and other points along the river. It is grand source of such great industries as will make this val ley the most populous and prosperous portion of Arizona. The rich lands, supplied with abundant water; conve- nient mines containing riches that will not be exhausted in centuries ol continuous extraction, and a water power unequalled upon the Pacific coast, all lying in the most convenient juxtaposition, surely indicate that ma ture has fashioned the most substantial foundation here that the world has ever seen for a fourishing city that will extend from the Buttes to the present town of Florence. It has left so little for man to do in utilizing it: inestimable gift that it looks almost like criminal neglect that it has not been availed of sooner. Our county is full of the richest and choicest ma tural resources which must speedily be developed, for the inducements are so great that capital will not hesitate to come to our aid when the substan tiated facts are brought to it's atten tion.

THE dissatisfaction expressed at the action of the supervisors in so general ly raising the assessments throughout the county, is largely without any real cause, so long as no additions are made beyond the limit of ones actual possessions. Starting out upon the basis of the necessity of raising fix ed sum by taxation, a high assessed valuation warrants low rate of tax ation and, by the same rule, low as- sessment necessitates a high rate the sum of the taxes in each case be- ing identical. By this general advance of values fixed by the board, the tax rate is lowered, and the effect upon people abroad who are seeking homes in Arizona, is more favorable than by the other process of low valuation and high rate. The plan works no injustice to the taxpayers and when it is fully explained to them their objec- lions entirely disappear.

Bran and Cob Meal.

Ohio Farmer says: q think it safe to assert that for all growing stock a given weight of bran is worth moro than of middlings, and, for at least half the ra- tion, more than corn. If these cattle are put on straw exclusively for rough feed should have half of the grain feed corn and the other half bran. If you can get the cob ground fine, cob and all, should feed cob neal have been feeding this with great satisfaction for two seasons, and the longer feed it the higher value 1 place on it."
