PIGEONS ON BOARD SHIP.
Carried Out of Sight of Land, They Soor
Become Tame Pets.

Carried Out of Sight of Land, They Soon
Become Tame Pets.
On the return of the training ship
Portsmouth to the Brooklyn navy
yard from a voyage to the Mediter-
ranean she had a large number of
pigeons aboard. The birds were of the
common variety and lived in coop on
the hurricane deck near the forecastle.
The boys had procured them at some
port while the vessel was still cruising
about. One day at sea, when all traces
of land were lost, the birds were re-
leased from their prison. The crew
gathered on deck to see what they
would do. Some thought they would
not leave the ship; others expected to
see them take their bearings and then,
like carrier pigeons, fly landward. All
were mistaken, says the Youths. Com
panion, for after a joyous sail over the
blue ocean they returned to their cage
and settled down to everyday life.
They became tame at once and fond of
the sea men and boys, who fed them
from their hands. They constantly
fitted about the decks, at times even
causing annoyance by walking about
the gangway under the busy sailors
feet. At other times they would perch
in the rigging seemingly content with
their nautical lives. In port they would
fly ashore, but always returned at
night to roost in their coop. When at
last the orders were given to hoist an
chors for home many of the pigeons
were out on their daily fly. The sails
were spread and the big ship was
waited away. The boys and sailors all
felt very sorry for the disappointment
the birds would meet that evening
when they returned and found the
ship had sailed. But before night,
when the land like tiny green speck
faded from sight in the twilight, there
was suddenly a futter in the rigging
and the missing birds dropped down
and entered their cage. The hearts of
all the homeward bound ships com
pany rejoiced. Upon their arrival in
Brooklyn the pigeons showed them
selves as much at home in the air
around the great bridge and over New
York city as in any foreign port.

MESA NOTES.

Judge Armstrong of Phoenix, paid
Mesa a pleasant call yesterday morning
on business.
Supt. Netherton left on the evening
train for Tucson On business pertaining
to the schools.
Mr.. Taylor. the tailor from Phoenix,
came up to Mesa yesterday morning en-
route to Goldfeld.
Mr.. Fred Riley Of the Arizona Hard
ware Co., of Tempe, paid Mesa a busl-
ness trip yesterday.
The Fair Stake mine, bonded by
Wilbur and Sampson, is showing
up better the deeper it is sunk. At the
surface the ledge is but l6 inches, at 40
feet it is feet and still increasing in
width.
Mr.. w. L. Van Horn and Mr.. S. 9.
Heineman came up TO Mesa yesterday
on their cycles. Mr.. Van Horn at
tended to some business relating to the
Tempe military ball to be given about
the middle of the month.
The break in the Mesa canal will be
finished this evening and the water
will be turned in on the morning of the
9th. The job has been a stupendous
one, some thirty men and teams and
about fifty men with pick and shovel
being engaged.
The Stringtown baseball nine held
their regular meeting last night. Or
ley Stapley, the efficient captain OF the
nine, resigned his position on account
of his not having time to do Justice to
IL I,,4
no new captain was elected. There is
some talk OF organizing an athletic
club, embracing the clubs of Mesa, Lehi
and Stringtown.
Contracts are ready now to be let
for the transporting of 100. 600 feet of
lumber and the big double dredger that
is to arrive soon for the Consolidated
Canal Co. Today notices were posted
that bids would be received Tor the
hauling of the lum Der, 100, 900 feet. and
the machinery, 81 tons for the dredgel
from Tempe to the head of the Con-
solidated canal 1t is limited that work
on the head of the canal-or new cane
is to be pushed rapidly this winter.
H. S. Peterson returned from Gold
field yesterday morning. He reports
that while the camp is not so lively as
it has been, yet those who are there are
settling down to good development
work and are making it pay. The
Mammoth mill is running but II hours
out OF the 81, on account of the shortage
OF water. But they now have severa
men sinking shalt near the ioot OF the
Old Superstition mountains near sb8f

TEMPE ECHOES.

7. NJ. Gatke, the Salt River valley
poet, spent yesterday in Tempe.
The Arlington restaurant has made
its semi-monthly change in proprietor
ship and is again in the hands of the
temporary custodian OF the property.
A familiar vehicle appeared on the
streets of Tempe yesterday. 1t was an
old style four-horse coach, formerly run
by Geo. Kinney, but now the property
of B. +. Sloane, recently OF Prescott,
who has come to the valley and is look
ing for livery location here.
The graceful form of W. L. Van
Horn, the athletic cashier of the Bank
of Tempe, whether on wheels or on
foot, is a prominent figure. Even in
military circles he towers above the
rank and file, as does grenadier over
a private in the Liliputian Zouaves.
The express Office has been crowded
for the past few days. Many of the
packages are those of newly made
clothing shipped in for the fastidious
young men of the South Side, who as
rule equip themselves for the winter in
an attire that would do credit to proud
San Francisco.
The gentlemanly representative OF
the Herald and his little wagon with
room for one more makes the daily trip
to Phoenix and returns in the evening
bearing some twelve or fifteen copies of
the evening Astonisher, as the journal
is styled on this side. THE REPUBLI-
CAN, the paper of high moral ideas,
still leads.
The number of teams seen daily
crowding Mill avenue, Fourth street
and the leading thoroughfares of the
town indicates a business il it were in
an eastern town OF 1000 inhabitants.
While there are no more than l 1900
souls in Tempe the town does the bus
mess of the average place of three times
that number.
The South Side representative of
The REPUBLICAN is in receipt of neat
invitation to the military ball to be
given at Daggs' hall on the evening of
October Is. Early education was not
conducive to the development of this
social art, but as the representation of
Arizona's great metropolitan journal,
the occasion will not be overlooked.
Rev. Downes, of Tom bstone, 1s in
Tempe the guest of Col. L. L. Schultz
and lady. This well-known pastor was
at one time stationed at this place.
During those older days ministers in
Arizona were their own collectors and

the pastor had been in the town a year
he was waited on and informed that be

said the business man. For preaching

MAKING OLEO.
How Uncle Sam Watches 1t and How

How Uncle Sam Watches 1t and How 1t
Is Made.
Hidden away in dark and cobwebby
corner beneath the roof of the treasury
at Washington is a room filled with a
mysterious assemblage of queer-look-
ing apparatus which has the aspect of
an alchemist's laboratory. Yet the
work done there has to do not with the
making of gold or a vital elixir, but
with the analysis of food and drink,
says the Kansas City Journal. 1t is
the chemical division of the internal
revenue bureau, and one of the mat
tiers it has in charge is the detection
of fraud in the sale of oleomargarine
for butter.
1t seems startling to learn that the
consumption Of oleomargarine in this
country has doubled in the last five
years. The people of the United States
eat four million pounds of it every
month, or twenty-four thousand tons
annually. Nearly all of it is put up by
the great meat packers of Chicago,
Cincinnati. New York, Providence and
Kansas City. The manufacture of it
is lawful, but it is not permitted to
masquerade as butter in the market.
Suspected samples are bounced upon
by revenue agents and submitted to
chemical tests.
Three-fourths of the hotels and
nearly all of the restaurants and
clearinghouse in the United States
use oleomargarine. For their purposes
this artificial product is excellently
adapted. Whereas butter quickly
spoils, oleomargarine always looks
nice and remains fresh indefinitely
Some of it which has been kept at the
treasury for three years is as good as
ever to-day. 1t is better in flavor
than any except first-rate butter. PEG
pie who buy rancid butter for cooking
would do much better to purchase cleo
margarine. The best of the latter is
not cheap, costing as much as twenty
five cents pound, thus approaching
ordinary grades of butter in price.
The peculiar flavor of butter is due
to the presence of forty-fve per cent
of fatty acid. These acids are volatile
and rapidly decompose, hence the
rapidity with the substance spoils
Oleomargarine contains very little Of

such destructr5le material. 1t is made
from beef fat, which is removed from
the animal in the process of slaughter
ing, washed and placed in a cold-water
bath. Next the fat is cut into small
pieces by machine and cooked until
the liquid portion has separated from
the tissues.
The liquid fat is settled until per-
fectly clear. Then it is pressed to ex-
tract the stearine, leaving a pure
''oleo OIL" which, churned together
with milk and butter, becomes oleo-
margarine. The fat being almost
tasteless, butter is put in to give the
requisite favor, the best oleomargarine
having twenty per cent. of the finest

the body. When chased, Gordon Cum
ming says, he presents most ludicrous
appearance. On account of his short
neck, being unable to look round, and
naturally anxious to see if his pursuers
are gaining upon him, he is obliged to
lift his snout well in the air, so as to
look over his shoulder, and with that,
and his tail, when running, stiff and
upright, he has most absurd look; the
above sportsman also says the animal
is not devoid of sagacity.
