Chiokasaw Nation.

Editor hERALD-InlS lovely SaODath
morning according TO promise, finds me
with pen in hand for the purpose of con.
tributing few thoughts to your much
appreciated and valuable paper, which l
trust will be read with pleasure by your.
self and others of my distant but valued
friends in old Kentucky. After having
been resident of this part of the Nation
for nearly two years l find it rapidly de-
veloping into a first class community.
Society and morals on the increase; law
lessness and six shooters almost thing
of the past. There are persons of refine
ment and intelligence from all parts of
the States seeking and obtaining homes
within our midst. The law here is well
enforced, though / feel confident it would
be difficult matter to make some of my
old Kentucky friends believe it. The
militia have been building air castles for
while, but the smoke of battle has long
since cleared away in the Chickasaw Ma
ton. God reigns and the government at
Washington still lives, and the good citi-
zens of this Nation are still holding the
fort and the prospects are hattering that
they will continue to do SO. Corn, cot
ton, wheat, oats, vegetables and fruits
grow to perfection here, though regret
to say there is great scarcity of the lat
ter. Orchards are few, for the simple
reason the land is not owned by persons
occupying it. Cotton is the principle
crop but is cut considerably short this
year on account of the ravages of the
boil worm. The grass is fine and the
cattle are in fine condition. The acorn
crop is large, which, with the addition of
a small amount of corn, means plenty
of fat hogs and plenty of sausage Christ
mas-the woods abound with swine-so
you see at glance we are not aiming to
add any to Mr.. Armour's millions this
winter.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if / haven't already
trespassed upon your patience / would
like to say something in regard to a Sc.
ries of meetings of one weeks duration
that has just closed at our nearest place
of worship. Our minister was Brother
E r. Webb, of the Christian order, who
was born and reared on the frontiers
whose early life was one of privation and
hardship; lived the life of cowboy
from nine years old until manhood, but
during that time he obtain
ed little pocket volume from some of
his cowboy chums from which he learn
ed the alphabet as they were not blessed
with any kind of literature on the front
ier.. Brother Webb is now 30 years of
age, has been in the ministry just three
years and claims nothing but the saving
souls for his hire. He is simply self
made man. This is his first trip in our
midst, which has resulted in much good
seventeen being the number that uni
ted with the church, eleven new con-
verts, and six reclaimed. Surely, Brother
Webb is man of God. He has got the
majority of them in this locality with
their shoulders to the wheel moving the
good work on. Though he has been so
IA To have his lot cast
among the red men of the forest, doubt
whether there could be one of greater
talent found even in more favored lands.
Respectfully, CATHARINE HENRY.

 Phil Armour, the great beef king, of Chicago, is short, stocky, far from at- tractive in any sense, but a singularly happy man who has managed to mako a big fortune. He cares little for money now, but time was when the loss of $1OO nearly drove him mad. It was good many years ago, in the days of gold on the Pacific slope. Armour was one of the numberlesa throng there searching for fortune.
 Fortune paid no heed to him, however, but finally he managed to get somo "washings" that he sold for S1OO This sum he carefully tied up in an old cot. ton handkerchief for safe keeping. Then he hunted around for a place to put it. His eye espied an old and dilap- dated coffee-pot in corner of the cabin he occupied with three other seekers for fortune. He put the S1OO carefully in it and placed it lovingly on convenient shelf; then he went about his daily toil When he returned from work his eye in stinctively searched for the old pot. It was gonel
 One of his partners had tired of work and come home. He had nothing else to do, so he went to clean house. The old coffee-pot went with the other rub bish, and fire was made of it all in a little clump of bushes near by. Great was the cOnsternation when Armour told what the pot contained. And how carefully he worked over that fire to rescue the pot. Finally he reached it. blackened and bent, but the money was intact, and no happier man slept in the diggings that night. Thereafter he car cied it around with him in a belt

It IS fact not generally known that there are two varieties of tarantulas in Arizona and New Mexico. This prob ably accounts for the conflicting re ports abont the deadly nature of the tarantula poison. The so-called Texan tarantula is by no means an agreeable bedfellow, but his bite is by no means fatal. The venomous Texan tarantula in spite of all discussions to the con. trary, does build and live in the trap door spider nest. There seems to be current idea that the trapdoor spider is harmless which is certainly erron- eous. It uses no web nest, easily cap turing its prey by extraordinary springs-Mohave Miner.

A San Pedro river rancher who had long experience in farming in Illinois and other corn raising states, says the reason that cereal does not flourish on the river is on account of the cool nights. On his authority corn will flourish only in climate where the nights are almost as sultry as the days In that kind of a climate it grows more rapidly at night than at daytime and he ayers that in passing through a fields on unusually hot nights the corn grows SO rapidly that it can be heard snapping like the gentle crack ing of g thousand whips.

IN Cochise county the average wheat crop is from 30 to B bushels to the acre and brings from $l.75 to $2 per bushel. Barley will average from 60 to 80 bushels to the acre and brings $l per hundred pounds. After this crop is harvested the ground can be plowed and planted either in corn, beans or potatoes and another crop raised from the same ground. Oats yield from 50 to 70 bushels to the acre Land is worth from 1925 to $50 per acre and there is plenty of it to be mad by simply taking it up under the U. s. land laws.

They took the average salaries paid to teachers in Tucson, Phoenix, Prescott and Florence which are the four largest towns in the terri. tory outside of Tombstone, and found it to be $7S. They concluded that placing salaries at $S0 would be no hardship as that amount is as high as any district in the territory pays, and higher than most of them pay.

Two tons of newspaper were received

Two tons of newspaper were received by the PRosPECToR on Monday last. There is nothing strange about this as it occurs every month in the year. The remarkable part of this particular shipment was the quick time made between Los Angeles and Fairbank. It was shipped on Thursday July 9th, and arrived at Fairbank on Sunday July 12.h. It came by regular freight and was but one day behind express or mail matter. This will no doubt take the prize for quick transit.

Some Amusing Answers.

The school examiners in South Africa seem to get selection ofquite as amus- ing answers as any that stand to the &C., count of the scholars in our own ele- mentary schools. Here are few speci- mems: "The day is longer in summer owing to expansion by the heat" "The upper course of river is where it travels up country, the middle course is where it goes on level" "Once year we have the whole bright side of the sun turned toward us, then it is summer. The sun is in the solstice, and stands Still" "A bar is piece of iron across a :iver mouth. It prevents navigation and has to be cut through with a steam hdQe."

Beware the House Fly.

The house fly begins life fully grown, mature and ready for business. There are no little flies of the same species, the small ones occasionally observed being different in kind from the larger ones The house fly does not bite nor pierce the skin, but gathers its food by a comb or rake, or brush-like tongue, with which it is able to scrape the var nish from covers of books, and it thus tickles the skin of persons upon which it alights to feed upon the precipitation. Although the house fly has no sting it is pest and dangerous one at that. It is by nature scavenger, and is vehicle by which contagious diseases are spread. It poisons sores and wounds, and may carry deadly virus from decaying or gsnic matter into food.

If box six feet wide wero filled with sea water and allowed to ovapor- ste under the sun, thero would be two Inches Of salt left on the bottom. Talk Ing the average depth of the ocean to be three miles, there would be layer of pure salt 2SO feet thick on the bod of the Atlantic. Tho water is coldor at the bottom than at tho surface. In many bays on the coast of Norway tho water often freezes at the bottom before it does above.
 Waves are very deceptive. To look st them in storm one would think tho water travelled. The water stays in the same place, but the motion goes on. Sometimes in storms these waves are forty feet high and travel fifty miles an hour-more than twice as fast as tho swiftest steamship. The distance from valley to valley is generally fifteen times the height, hence wave five feet high will extend over seventy-five feet of water. The force of the sea dashing on Bell Rock is said to bo seventeen tons for each square yard.
 Evaporation is wonderful power in drawing the water from the sea. Every year layer of the entire sea, fourteen feet thick, is taken up into the clouds The winds bear their burden into the land and the water comes down in rain upon the fields, to flow back at last through rivers. The depth of the sea presents an interesting problem. If the Atlantic were lowered from 6, 564 feet the distance from shore to shore would1 be half as great, or 1,5O0 miles.
