A telephone company is being
organized by George w. Norton TO
build a lire to run through the Mo-
hawk valley connecting with Fac
ma and Texes Hill on the Southern
Pacific. The telephone line pro-
posed is greatly needed in the Mo-
hawk valley and will be of great
convenience and benefit to the
settlers. Had such line been in
operation last spring scarcely any
losses would have ensued from the
food as the farmers could have
been warned of the approaching
high-water and protected them
selves accordingly; as it was, the
high water took every one by sur
prise, no news of the rising floods
having been received in the valley.
The capital stock has been fixed at
$4,000. The shares are $40 each
and unassessable. Fifteen hundred
dollars of the capital stock has been
subscribed and the balance will
also soon be taken up.

will be built from Yuma to the
mines. The reduction and acid
works will be erected at such a
point as the superintendent may

the emphatic condemnation baking powders

the of the three leading chemists of Minnesota max
ing their report Committee recently showing
that bread baked with the "Royal" contained ammonia
and the hostility being manifested by the public
against all ammonia and alum baking powders would have
driven them permanently from the market

Puzzling Fire.

A phenomenon is puzzfing the resi-
dents of Castalian Springs, Miss, just
now. On the top of high pile of earth
is spot about three inches in diameter,
from which issues forth every clear sun
shiny day, between the hours of 11:30
a. m. and 1890 p. M, blue smoke, which
is Immediately followed by a bright, hot
fame of similar hue. The spot presents
no appearance different from any other
barren spot on earth, with the exception
of the burnt earth, caused by the fire.
The charred looking dirt surrounding
the center to the depth of one-fourth of
an inch can be removed, but the center
remains black, hard and almost impene-
trable.
This strange freak was discovered by a
workman over week ago, and has been
since watched daily. 1t is evident that
the sun is a magnet in this instance, as
the eruption does not occur when the
weather is cloudy. Often when the sun
is covered there is smoke, but no flame.

ments occur geologist will be called to
investigate

" Peaches Is Safe"

Eyes, sir" said an old Pennsylvania
farmer as he busted the frost from his
beard, where it had collected in the
course of three hours ride in the early
morning, 'you can just bet your boots
on what say, and that is that this year
peaches is safe as if they were picked.
I've watched that ERE fruit this fifty
year, and reckon know thing or two
about the effect of frost on the blossoms.
If you ketch it on the buds before they
open, look out. Like as not your crops
a-goner Or if it strikes 'em when the
buds is wet then you are sartain to miss
your crop. But once git 'em wide open
an dry, like what they is now, an you
has got sure thing of it. When once
the fruit begins to form it takes harder
teeth than them of frost to touch it.
Tain't the same with plums an cherries,
which'll blight even after they has bios
somed No, kind sir, peaches is safe
this year, you take an old mans word
for it. An I should say it is about
time. New York Herald.
