A GARDEN SPOT.
Offered
BY the South Side to
HOmeSeekerS.

The Consolidated is the largest of the great canals
the south side The system now consists of 40 miles of
canal IS miles of main laeras and $50 miles of smaller
laeras distributed that 100000 acres of land may b.
irrigated
Besides this great system the following canals with
underlying territory must be considered The Highland
canal 20 miles, 1000 acres the Mesa canal 10 miles, 90
900 acres the Utah. 10 miles 10000 acres the Tempe
miles, 100000
The entire region about Mesa derives it's life from these
systems which also contrbutory in the highest de-
gree to the agricultural prosperity of the country around
Tempe
There is rapidly spreading belief that that part of the
valley in which these two ourishng towns are located
the garden spot of Arizona and developments Justify the
growing belief
tits not improper in this connection to describe briefly
the grounds upon which this belief is based and the natural
reasons why it is 50.
The country about Mesa will probably within the next
years enjoy the widely circulated distinction of being the
productive fruitgrowng region in the United States
it now known be the chief fruit belt of the valley
1t differs sufficiently in altitude from the rest of the
valley to insure semropical fruits against danger from
frost always imminent in the most favored regions of Cali
ornia
The altitude is SIG feet higher than Tempe and 172
eet above Phoenix rendering somewhat cooler than either
place in summer and slightly warmer in winter.

The Mysterious Close of the Life of n
Cruel Animal.
For couple of months have been

mink found lyin" in my barn on nv

but short time, and had no wounds
lpon 1t except at the throat where
Iwo small holes had let out it's life

troubled me ever since, SAYS cor
respondent of Forest and Stream.
There were no cats in the barn, and
the rats ''instinctively had left it" as
well, during my absence from home. |
at length concluded that two male
minlSs must have had a quarrel in the
barn and one had become a victim of
the fight. .......-.s--,- ,a,...
The barn is close to the dam of one
of my ponds, and had been frequented
by minks in pursuit of the chickens
which sometimes took up a nights
lodging in it. But as they were re-
moved to other quarters the minks
must have had the building all to
themselves. | skinned the body. which
could not have been dead many hours,
and the marks in the throat showed
that only one firm and deadly grip had
been taken. 1t is interesting to know
that these cruel beasts have no bowels
of compassion even for each other.

SECRETS OF SNAKE-CHARMING.
Snakes Are Alarmed by Quick Motions
aud Hence Appear 20 he Easclnated

snakes Are Alarmed by Quick Motions,
and Hence Appear to Re Fascinated.
Slake-charmer can, by a simple
moti0nof his hand, make a moving
snake stop instantly, writes G.. X.
OReilly in st. Nicholas.
The reason is this: A snake is n
most timid animal. His eyes, as has
been said before, while dull to color
and form, are quick TO motion, es-
peciaIIy if it is rapid. If any large
thing moves very quickly too near him
he gets frightened and scurries off;
While at certain distances the motion
stops him if he is moving. He stops
from aStonishment, fear, or the wish to
see what is it that moves. Hence, he
gIldes on, unconscious of the charmer's
presence near him so long as the latter
remains perfectly quiet; the snake
uoeSn know him from a tree or a
rock But when ne gives a sudden evil
uence OF life, the snake is astonished
and Immediately remains stock-still.
In India and Africa the charmers
pretend the snakes dance to the music.
out they do not, for they never hear it.
a snake has no external ears, and per-
maps gets evidence of sound only
through his skin, when sound causes
Doules IN contact with him to vibrate.
!. ihey hear also through the nerves of
Ine tongue, but do not at all compre-
nehd sound as we do. But the snakes
eyes are very much alive to the mo-
y'onS OF the charmer, or to the moving
lrumsticks of his confederate; and, be-
ing alarmed, he prepares to strike. A
lahcing cobra land no other snakes
lance IS simply a cobra alarmed and
u a posture of attack. He is not dane
ing to the music, but is making ready
TO strike the charm err"

THE Republican legislature is in bad
humor and is bound to rip up things
in its own party of course.
First the gang is dissatisfied with a
great number of the appointees of
. Gov. Mckinley, and to get even with
the Governor and his faction threaten
to repeal certain laws which find place
for the pets of Mckinley.
And second, the rupture between
the Ryan -Poorman factions is widen
ing daily, until now it is thought that
the ex-Secretary will be compelled to
undergo legislative investigation of
his official acts. 1T comes to this it
may be that Ryan would be compell-
ed to resign his very lucrative posi-
tion upon the Worlds Fair Commis-
sion.
Third, some of the disgruntled leg
islators, to ease their minds and get
even with the other fellows, are after
Charley Fosters scalp, as Trustee OF
the Toledo Insane Asylum. They say,
on account.of his being connected with
institutions that are furnishing sup
plies to the asylum, that he is ineligi-
BILE, therefore should be removed.
The Republican sky is indeed turbu-
lent. # .as

He was born in Shenandoah Coun-
ty, Virginia, October II, 1884, the son
of farmer and the only boy, being
third child in a family of nine. Of
this large family none survive save
the subject of this sketch.
When Andrew was two years old,
the parents moved to Clarke County,
Ohio, but not liking the county re-
moved to Champaign County, where
they permanently located.
At the age of six he lost his father,
and year later was robbed of moth
er's guiding hand and influence.
From the date of his mothers death
the orphan has moved his own way
through life.
Although left in charge of an uncle,
as soon as large enough to earn his
own living, he did so. working on
farm in Summer and attending
school in Winter. At that time the
system of free schools was not known,
and the boy Andy was compelled to
pay tuition, which, together with
books and clothes footed up quite an
item for one receiving a farm hands
wages, and made the path to an edu-
cation no bower of beauty from a
bountiful supply of roses.
! surmounting all difficulties he
gained practical education, which,
with a good allowance of grit and
push worked his success.
In 1855 he was married to Miss
Elizabeth Overhulls, an estimable
young lady of Champaign County,
and who now presides over his home
in West Napoleon.
He pursued the occupation OF
farming until the war when he en-
listed In Company E, 18th Regiment,
Ohio Infantry. Serving until peace
was declared, he returned home and
moved with his family to Monroe
township. Here he entered into the
saw-mill and mercantile bushes, with
his post-office at West Hope. Latel
on he moved to Napoleon and EN-
tered the saw-mill of A. Imber. Be
ing of a saving disposition he soor
! purchased half interest, and aftel
several months partnership, the sen
, ior partner sold out, leaving Mr.. Say
} gers in possession of the mill, which
by careful management proved
paying piece of property.
3 AS an Office holder his record is no
lengthy one, having held but on
/ office, that of clerk of Monroe town
ship, prior to his election as commits
, sioner in 1888. But he has provel
himself an efficient officer, and wa
given a second term. He has mani
. tested sound judgment and tn
courage to utter his convictions.
S Personally Mr.. Saygers is a genis
g fellow, a good story teller and read
mixer, and has hosts of frien DIS.

This country has accepted the English
language, and our people have found by
