Arizona Fruits.
Pheuix Herald


 The question of what this valley can do in the fruit business Is no longer an open one. It has been successfully and irrefutably answered by what we have done and are doing the present year. When would-be settler asks can you make fig growing a success?" We no longer need answer we think so." We can point to the finest cured figs, in quantity, to be found ill any market in the world, figs, too, that have been put up in the simplest possible manner without the doctoring of the skin ill brine or lye to make it appear thin. It is safe to say that figs can be made more successful in this Salt River Valley with less expense than anywhere else in the world where they are cultivated. If the strangers ask: Can you make ralslns a success" We no longer have a hesitancy as to what an swer to make We can point to single lot of 12,000 pounds of raisins put up here in the valley that are hard to excel in any market, and little more experience and 1 more mature vines will increase the quail ty of this product greatly. Do oranges sncceed? asks the questioner. In an swer we drive him out of town a few miles and show him single orchard of forty acres now beginning to bear and other orchards of from twenty to sixty acres coming on as fast as natures smiles in this most luxurious of her valleys on the continent can push them Succeed in 1 fruit! We can do nothing but succeed if we will scrape little of the moss off our own backs, go to work with energy and a little enterprise. The man who plants a quarter section in three or four varieties of standard fruits now, say apricots, figs. ! olives and oranges, will, in ten years from | now be worth half million dollars or will have an income equivalent to twelve per cent annum on that amount. And yet there will be good many of us who | are now here who will be, in ten years | from now, ln just the same hole We are l now, simply because we sit down and 1 howl at those people who are develop ing the country and making money under our noses, while we do nothing toward 1 developing our own business. It pays a man to attend to his own business and attend to it we'll and let the affairs of other people alone. The day of the moss back has gone by ill this region and he who most closely attends to the develop ment of his own business, he who most assiduOusly plants his lands to fruit and cares for his orchard and crops will be the man who will come out on top every time. Let us quit bowling at the worker and go to work ourselves. There are two ways of keeping even with the world and 1 the one which most unfortunately has
 prevailed in this valley of attempting to keep the world down has proved an utter failure, and We must resort to that other more generous, liberal and progressive method of letting the world go it with all possible speed and exerting ourselves to keep just little ahead of it. This latter method only leads to success, and it IS as true with the ranchman, the fruit grower, the stock raiser and the miner as 1t is in any other business of life.

StockInun.

Mir Henry. the corralman at Bowie sta ton, fell from wagon last Saturday and had one of his legs badly broken, the fracture being compound one. Dr. Porter, of this place, was telegraphed for to attend the injured man, but could not go, as he had case here, and Mir. Henry was taken to the post hospital at Fort Bowie. The leg will probably have to be amputated.
 J. H. Powers, of the Whitewater, in coming in from his ranch Monday, got in close proximity to a band of antelope between the North Wells and Cottonwood ranches of the Chiricahua Cattle Con- pany. The antelope were lying near the road asleep in the tall grass, and did not hear Mir. Powers wagon until he was right on to them. When they jumped up and ran one of them came so close to the wagon that Mir. Powers struck 1t with his whip.
 Wolf Schse, of the stock firm of Mayer < Sachse, Is making war on prairie dogs. There IS a dog town town between their two ranches, and 1t is there that Wolf is getting in his work. He places small quantity of bi-sulphide of carbon in each hole, fills up the hole. and leaves the dog to its fate, which Is almost certain death. Mir. Sachase says the scheme works to a charm, and that the cost is not over three cents to hole. Let other ranchmen follow suit and rid the country of these little pests, which each year des- troy thousand of acres of feed.
 Captain J. H. Tevis, of lewiston, was a passenger on Wednesday nights delayed train, and while here took occasion to visit The Stockman. The Captain stated that all of the machinery to be used at his mines nine miles from Bowie station has been received, but, owing to heavy roads, they had not yet been able to get 1t all to the mines. 1t IS intended tC have forty stamps crushing ore by the end of this month, and then Tevis district will be heard from us as bullion pro ducer We trust the old pioneers most sanguine anticipation in regard to thi; camp will be realized.

Ex-Mayor Ganz's Garden.
rhenlx Herald.

Phenix has many pretty homes, if one will look under or behind the dense shade that envelopes them. This morning a Herald reporter happened to drop into Mayor Ganz's place, on the corner of Monroe and Yuma streets He has six city lots, three of which are devoted to residence, lawn, out buildings and flow CTS. Bermuda grass makes a sward as as thick and soft as velvet. Tube roses bloom from May tc December. Banana plants have shot up nearly twenty feet, looking as vigorous and thrifty as though settled Ill their old native Cuban home. Fan palms add to the tropical effect Lofty oieanders wave domes of red flow CTS. The rose of Sharon, too, bloomed in modest prOfusion, while pomegranates hung down temptingly from heavily laden branches, with plumes of pampas grass nodding in princely submission.
 The three west lots on Monroe street are devoted to fruit. Mission, Muscat and July grapes, royal apricots, pears, peaches, olives, figs an dpomegranates. The Mis- sion grapes are just now ripening. The fig trees have been bearing steadily since May last. Mrs. Gang, who claims the orchard. is very proud of her peaches. The "Salway' variety is large and solid, a perfect fruit for canning or picking. For table fruit her strawberry peach has delicate flavor, like that of its name sake, which makes it most palatable, Visitors cannot repress surprise at the dimension and numbers of Salway peach es That they are favorite with house keepers is shown by the price, three to four cents per pound, willingly paid by the purchasers who will have no other
 A handsome hedge runs nearly around the residence and the whole place con stitutes paradise for children and sub | tropical gem for everybody.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Will Move California Fruit to the Atlantic
 in Three Days.


 For two years past the Southern Paci- fic railway company has been quietly i'm proving its track to a standard where six ty miles an hour would be safe, says special from San Antonio to the Fort Worth Gazette. Laborers have been at work at all points between New Orleans and Fl Paso, and on the San Francisco end the same state of affairs has obtain ed. The only portion of the track which remains unprotected is between San An tonic and Glidden. Tomorrow the com pany starts out couple of steam blows and that part of the road will be raised two feet. The California fruit traffic is the motive behind the movement South ern Pacific freight trains from the Golden Gate to New Orleans average twenty five miles an hour. It is intended to run them at a speed of forty five miles an hour straight across the continent. By this means the company will be able to put California fruit on the Atlantic sea board three days out of the orchards The officials consider the scheme entirely feasible and are awaiting the experiment with much interest The first three light ming freights will be run the last of this month.

WITH NEW sHOTGUNs
Deputy Sheriff Davenport Deficd While Attempting to Replevin Some Cettle-He Finally
 Succeeds.
Pheuix Republican.

Deputy Sheriff Davenport went out yes, terday to serve the papers or replevin in the case of administrators of the Estate of George Marlow, deceased, vs. Arthur Marlow The papers gave to the admin istrators the possession of a certain num- Der of horses and cattle, claimed as be- longing to the estate, held by said Arthur Marlow.
 Arriving at tn place where the stock was held, ranch located about twelve miles northwest of the city, the deputy sheriff was confronted by the defendant and Humphrey McEwen, who forbade his entry upon the farm, emphasizing their forcible remarks by threatening exhibition of two brand-new double bar relied shotguns, evidently purchased for the purpose of setting at defiance the constabulary of Maricopa county.
 Davenport did not get excited, however He simply threw one leg over the horn of his saddle and commenced to talk to the enraged Canadian. He showed him plainly the Uselessness of trying to cope with the force of the law and finally ar gued him down. Permission was grud ingly given to place keeper in charge which was done, and the deputy returned from the scene of his victory.
 Arthur Marlow's grievance consists in that he was named sole legatee in the will of his brother and that the will was set aside and declared void by decree of the Probate Court. He considers him self robbed and proposed to defend prop efty he believed his own.

SolomonviIle Bulletin.

SolomonNlHe Bulleun-
 Our jail is overcrowded with criminals and some of them the worst to be found in Arizona The district court will have a heavy criminal docket when 1t convenes.
 The mining camp in the Lone Star dis trict north of Solomonville is growing, and all the mines are giving satisfactory results and showing continued improve ments as the work of development pro- Sresses.
 On Friday last'Mr. Geo. Olney and Mr. Webster withdrew from the bond of Ed. Follett, convicted at the last term of the district court of unlawfully branding cat tle This invalidated the old bond and a new one will have to be given. Judge Blake allowed Follett ten days in which to give the new bond, and he left on Sun day morning, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Robertson, to see his bondsmen. As they are scattered from Solomonville to Arayaipa it will require several days to see all of them.
 Dr. A. H. Hoeffer, A. D. Webb, Chas Solomon and Barnabe Palm of Solomon ville's hunting party, who went to Blue river five weeks ago, returned home this week; the boys are looking hale and hear ty and report successful trip, though they eXperlenced good many lnconVen- fences on account of the continued and copious rains. A number of deer were killed and fish were taken out in large quantities without trouble. Smaller game became so common in the camp as not to be worth the dressing.
 Deputy SheriffPink Robertson brought Fin Clanton and man named Allen from Clifton on Thursday last; who had been bound over before Justice Sias in bonds of two thousand dollars each, on a charge of branding cattle belonging to Mir Geo Wells On Saturday Francis J. Heney got out writ of habeas corpus before Probate Judge Blake and succeeded in getting the bonds reduced to $350 for Clanton and $250 for Allen.

Relief Demanded.
Tombstone Epitaph.

Considering the present quiet condition of business, any proposition to reduce taxation, without injury to the public ser vice would be favorably received. For various reasons the movement last spring was opposed and defeated by men who wished for lower tax rate but who were opposed to the method at that time pro posed. The election IS now coming on, and some plan should be formulated to reduce city expenses and at the same time fully protect the city property. Why would it not be good plan to nominate men for the legislature with the under standing that they should make an effort to amend the city charter by abolishing some of the offices and requiring the ones remaining to perform the ddties of the abolished offices? For instance the of fees of tax collector and treasurer could be abolished and the duties divided be- tween the chief of police and city clerk, both offices having ample time to perform the additional duties that would be i'm posed on them. The Epitaph is in favor of some such plan, and suggests it for the consideration of our citizens. And an other consideration, any one seeking one of the officers proposed to be abolished, would do so with the full understanding that he might be legislated out of office, and consequently would have no just cause for complaint should such be the

The Diet of Worms.
Phenix Republican.


 Millions of green tobacco worms, about the size of mans finger, are reported upon the Tempe road, near the cross-cut canal and the river. A teamster states that the cross-cut bridge was so covered with worms that it was with difficulty that he managed to induce his team to cross. These worms are seen ill this val ley only after heavy summer rains. ap- bearing to spring from the desert and grow to maturity in but a few days. They are not, as a rule, destructive, though four ears ago they stripped the leaves from John Ormes vines. The Pimas and and Maricopas esteem them as a delicacy, gathering them in baskets, stringing them upon thread and drying them, When change of diet is desired the dried ''shrimps" are made the base of 8 sort of soup, deemed by the Indians a real delicacy. The only things Pima will not eat belong to the mineral king dom.

Too Close a Rattle for Comfort.
PheniX Herald.

Captain Wright, the raisin superin- tendent for Logan and Adams, had a close call last mouth. He was running a hand basket along under the vines and throwing Muscats in it as he picked them Suddenly he heard a click or snapp1ng sound, as though some part of the basket has broken. Lifting it up he was surprised to find an ugly, wringling rattlesnake follow. It has struck at Captain Wright's hand and buried it's fangs in the wicker handle of the basket, an inch from the Captains forefnger. No time was lost in killing the deadly reptile, and its skin is now being fashion ed into belt for a Phenix journalist sweetheart. But that don't prevent Captain Wright from fetching a quick breath whenever he thinks hoy nearly he came to filling casket instead of secur- ing lady's girdlc.

The squaw says the Kid has only one horse, is without saddle, but has car bine and plenty of ammunition. Troops and scouts were sent to the Turnbull mountains to attempt the Kids capture, but as yet they have failed to do so Chi quito, the only Indian left of the Kids band, we believe, is supposed to be some where in the Aravaipa country.
