Though the hideous ''wholeback' coat
of last year is not copied exactly, some
thing of the same effect is given in coats
which are fitted to the figure at the
sides, but have no seam in the center OF
the back, and therefore do not outline
the figure. The newest and most de-
sirable shape in cloth coats is the EN-
pire coat which is moderately long,
reaching few inches above the knees,
and is fitted with full number OF
seams closely to the figure. These coats
have ample sleeves and are finished by
two or three capes, or by single cape

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, most delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lghtest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most dgestble and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
Of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
prize or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid and render the food unwholesome
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

J.L. Stowe returned from the Gold Camp last Thursday evening, and reported all work shut down in that camp, and everybody leaving except MT. Higgins, in charge of the store, and the keepers appointed to care for the two mines. The Gold Hills company has closed down because it can get no market for it's rich gold concentrates. Mr. Rodman is at Casa Grande awaiting developments Why the Mammom mine has closed is a mystery. The late run is said to have been very satisfactory. MT. Gilchrist, the manager, went east Wednesday evening, and Mir. Carey, the superintendent, has gone to the Superstition country to examine some properties there for Colorado investors. The post office at that camp, Otis, has been abandoned, the books, papers, etc., coming up Tuesday. Mr. Stowe states that it is reported that all work at the Re- ward is suspended, and that D. E.

The South Gila Canal Company has decided to raise the height oi it's dam from thirty to fifty feet thereby creating a great reservoir which will augment it's system of distributing reservoirs that eonsti. ute the first fourteen miles of the canal. In round numbers, these cover 5000 acres of land. This will give never failing supply of water to irrigate the 1S,000 acres of land that make up the river bottoms. The change made to do away with a five-foot drop in the chain of res ervoirs and that regulating the ve- locity of the water to two and one. half feet per second, adds nearly 2000 acres of the best of land to the area that can be irrigated.-Yuma Times.

ganizing 8 society similar to the White Caps, which were such dis grace and terror to San Miguel county, New Mexico, short time back. In fact, it Is believed that he was one of them. At least from letters he has written, he appears to be perfectly familiar with the inside workings of such an organization. We would advise our Mexican friends to have nothing to do with him or with his organization. He is not working for their veal, but for his own selfish purposes.
 In his letter he goes out of his way to censure Don Pedro Montana for words, we believe, he put in MT. Montana's mouth, and because he has the moral courage to perform his duty as an official, without fear or favor. Not satisfied with that the editor of the paper in which this silly and contradictory letter is published, must have his fling at MT. Montana also, and accuses him of taking money to stop a prosecu- tion, not a word of which is true. Senor Don Pedro G. de Ia Lama, accuses Mr. Montana also, of being an imitator of Americans. To prove tue latter assertion he cites the Graham county case, in which he says Americans paid out money to protect their employees and Mir. Montana took money to let his en- ployees be "cowardly murdered, !" and calls that initiating. Where does the imitation come in? The Senor Don writes himself as great an ass as his correspondent. It IS we'll known, both in this county and Graham, that Mir, Montana did everything in his power to have the men convicted who killed his sheep herders, the Senor Don to the con- trary. notwithstanding.

For more than year Winches- ter Miller has been suffering with a very sore foot, first caused by being stepped upon by a horse. The sore has finally turned into 8 cancer, and today Dr. Chas. H. Jones will perform the operation of removing the cancer, which will necessitate the amputation of at least one-half the foot. The cancer has also bro- ken out near the groin; this is also to be operated on and removed. Until within few days ago Mir. Miller has never allowed his physi- clan, Dr. Jones, to examine his foot, fearing he would insist upon ampu- tation. The spread of the disease alarmed him, and upon examina- ton Dr. Jones at once decided that the only hope of saving MT. Miller's life lies in a successful operation. The neglect to which this disease has been subjected has greatly less ened the afflicted mans chances of recovery. Dr. Jones' surgical skill is we'll known, and upon it the friends of MT. Miller have staked their hopes of his recovery.-Tem- pc News,
