A PROMINENT eastern naturalist in a
|. tier 10 the editor Of the CITIZEN
several years ago, in view Of some ex-
ceedingly curious habits of bird and
mammal life in Arizona, said: Here
after nothing from Arizona will surprise
me. The unexpected is always TO be
expected" Apropos of the foregoing
it may not be commonly known that
the native fish in the S .nta Cruz river,
bring forth their young alive. A more
remarkable freak in nature ca0Dot be
found. The propagation of all true fish
is supposed TO be by means of the
females depositiog their eggs in the
water, where they hatch and come forth,
but the young of the fish in the Santa
Cruz. are nearly al inch long at the time
Of their birth. Each female brings
forth about twelve to fifteen young ata
time. The male adult fish reaches from
three to five inches in size, but the
adult female Is scarcely half as large.
In colo- they are greyish brown on the
back with bright, silvery sides. At the
present time the females are big with
young and strange appearing. We de-
sire to call the attention of scientists anc
ngturslists to this interesting anC
curious form OF fish life.

PROTESTS, says Bradstreet's against the
maintenance of the Sherman silver
purchase Law from commercial and
financial bodies are no novelty. and the
petition of the New York Chamber Of
Commerce in reference to the law has
been particularly pronounc d. That
body, however, took occasion at its last
regular monthly meeting before October
to emphasize its opposition to the law
by recording once again its demand for
the repeal of the law by congress at the
earliest possible date. The chamber
declared in the resolution voicibg this
demand, which was adopted unani-
mously, that it was apparent to all that
under the operations of the silver
purchase law great injury was being
done to. the financial and commercial in-
terests of the whole country, and that
confidence would not be restored until
the law is repealed. The chamber has
all alorg taken strong ground against
the silver purchase Law an0 Its protest
against that measure now is simply
in the nature of an emphatic reatfir-
nance of its position.

Destroyed by Fire and Again at
Work

The Price Baking Powder Com.
pany of Chicago, which is known
throughout the country for the superior
excellence of its Baking Powder, met
with a serious loss on the morning OF
May 18th, in the nearly total des-
truction by fire of its factory and Of
fees No sooner had the flames been
sub dued than the work of restoration
commenced, and the company by
prudent foresight, having had stored
in outside ware houses duplicate ma
chinery, labels and supplies of raw ma
terials in preparation for any emer-
was enabled by energetic management
to resume manufacturing within a very
few days after the fire, thereby causing
its customers but a trifling delay in
the filling Of their orders. Had the
company not been so prepared the
delay would have been very serious
since it would have required months of
time to get new machinery.
1t is now forty years since the goods
manufactured by this company were
first placed on the market, to DR.. Price
being due the distinction of having pre-
pared the first can of Cream of Tartar
Baking Powder ever manufactured in
any country. 1t was great discovery,
superseding as it did the old method
of using cream of tartar and soda Sc
parately, to say nothing of saleratus,
with which the biscuit of early days
was embittered.
The Price Company has no connection
whatever with any other baking powder
company or manufacturer, notwith-
standing representations to the contrary
made by other manufacturers whose
sole aim is to deceive the public and
borrow the good name and fame ac-
quired by the Price Cream Paking
Powder, which is known all over the
world as the purest and "most perfect
made"

Road Favorable to Its Culture.
Canagrie is becoming subject OF gen.
eral interest throughout:the east, par
tlcularly in view OF the fact that other
tannin producers are disappearing.
The csnagrie bulletin issued by the
university recently was sent far and
wide. This is confirmed by numerous
inquiries on the subject from al parts
of the country. Generally it seems too
good to be true, and often the inquiries
are If the statements of the bulletin
were not Overdrawn. On the contrary,
the opposite is the case, as the state
ments were very conservative.
Good fruits from the bulletin are
evidenced by the following, from j. A.
Williamson, Chicago. land commissioner
of the Atlantic and Pacific road:
CHICAGO, June, 3, 1898.
Mr.. JOHN NJ. ORNsBY, Secretary board OF
regents OF the university of Arizona, Tucson,
DEAR SIR:--A copy Of Bulletin No
Z, February 1898, treating of the canal
gre plant, has fallen into my hands.
The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
company owns a large acreage OF land
along its road, which appears TO me,
may be well adapted to the growth OF
this plant. / have read the bulletin
with a great deal Of interest, and am
very anxious to procure two or three
copies Of the same, one Ofwhich / desire
to submit to the board Of directors OF
the company, together with a cOmmuni-
cation IN which | shall urge an expert
ment in the cultivation OF the plant in
the western part of your territory.
IL you can furnish me with few
copies OF the pamphlet referred 20,
shall be greatly obliged, and in addi-
ton will pay, if necessary, any reason
able price fo- them.
Very respectfully
j. A. WILKINSON.
Land Commissioner.
In MOhave county immense areas are
susceptible of irrigation from the Colo
RADIO, and canagIie culture could un-
doubtedly be carried there to prOfta-
ble results with the Atlantic and
Pacific road behind it.

DYNAMITE WAS REQUIRED

CIMARRoN, Texas, June 10.-The Cali.
fornia express, west t-bound, on the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe, held up near
here, was robbed of $1,000 early this
morning by five bandits who tagged
the train, forced the fireman and engin-
eer at the point OF revolvers to eccom-
pany them to the express Car.
Express Messenger Whittlesy refused
to open tie door.
The robbers fired into the car and
wounded the messenger, who still re-
fused to open. Then the robbers blew
the door open with dynamite and rif1ed
the car of everything of value except
What was contained in the through safe.
Whitt'esy is not seriously hurt. He
is the messenger who stood off the Dal-
ton gang at Red Rock year ago. The
bandits escaped.

wEATHER-CRoP BULLETIN.
The Weather Man Confirms the
Report that it is Warm.

During the past week the tempera-
lures have averaged very apprscisbIy
above the normal, in ali sections. At
Tucson the hottest day of the season,
so far, was Monday the 5th, when the
temperature reached 1O1 degrees. At
Yuma the highest temperature Of the
week was 10 degrees, whilaat Palomas
maximum of ia is reported.
The prevailing conditions are shown
by the subioined reports from CORES
pondents:
Yuma, Yuma County-The growth
of al kinds of fruits, grasses end grain.
is wonderful. The second Ecrop OF
figs are large, sweet luscious, the best
ever grown in Yuma. The third crop
has started, and bids fair to be an i'm
merse crop. The second and third
crops OF vegetables are ready for the
table. The growth Of vines and fruit
trees, thus far this season, surpasses
that of any other year. Corn, pump
kins, squashes and beans are immense
crops. Shipments of tomatoes are be-
ing made to Los Angeles, San Francisco
anu denver.
Aztec.-Gardens are doing nicely,
though extreme heat slightly damages
young plants.
Payson, CHA county.-All crops are
doing fairly well. Early corn is up
nicely. Peach crop Will be light, owing
to the high winds.
Pine.-The range and crops are in
good condition yet, but would be i'm
proved with a good rain in a few days
Frost on 26tb and 18th slightly injured
gardens. Several beef buyers are here
now, offering S12 for two-year olds. and
Sl6 for three-year olds and upward.
Cottonwood, Yavapai county.-First
crop of alfalfa ready for cutting. Oats,
wheat and barley lie the milk, but well
advanced, and received a great benefit
from last rain.
st. Helena ranch, Pima county
High winds continue, although much
warmer during the week. Drying winds
Will make early fruit small. Apricots
are beginning to ripen.
Tombstone, Cochise county.-Tbe
weather since last report has been dry
ard windy, with temperature of higher
average.

WHILE Arizona and Pima county have
no funds TO throw at the birds they do
not allow continuous and competent
service to go without compensation as a
rule. Such a case is now instanced in
this city, however, in the secretaryship
OF the trustees of school district No. l
The duties of the Office are considerable,
This may be better shown when it is
known that Tucson has Il larger school
census and right to more teachers than
any but two counties in Arizona, those
counties being our Own and Maricopa.
Tucson has 1910 school census. and the
work Of overseeing aud doing arduous
secretary duties for thirteen teachers is
not a light one, and the compensation
should be something better than 'thank
you"-thOugh even that pay is said to
5e in mighty small instaIments.

San Xavier's Future President of
United States.

Grover Cleveland when little boy
wro-e composition on the COW. A
little Mexican boy at the San Xavier
school wrote one on the same subject.
Judging by the compositions San Xavier
has good chances for furnishing a
president. Besides the effort gives
light on the efficient, old-fashioned
method Of sprinkling salt on the tall
OF anything wild, to catch it.
Another of the pupils there has
quoted that favorite old work "Don
Quixote:"
A COW.
The COW is raised on the ranch, and
she is good to give some milk, and we
give her some hay when when we want
to killed her. 1t is cry tame animal.
She can eat almost eve. y thing; and we
milk her to get the milk out, because
The calf will drink it. The cow will eat
the hay to give ONE milk, and when
she eats the hay she gets fat and we kill
her because the meat is very good to
eat, when she eat much hay. She dies
when she eats too much. When they
are wild We give them some salt, and
when they eat the salt they are very
tame. When they very wild we have to
lasso them to give them the salt.
THE WINDMILL.
The wind mill is a kind mschine
which pumps out the water from wells.
The Windmill turns by wind. The
wind mills were the first giants Don
Quixote met and fought with.

THERE seems to be some difference ID
the city council as to the authority OF
the mayor to cast the deciding vote /.

Nothing can be more plain. That Is
partly what he is there FOR. At no Other
time is be allowed he privilege Of vot
ing and to attempt to deny him The
right to cast the deciding ballot on tie
vote in the council would be to deprive
him of prerogative to which he Is by

Tending the right OF TIE mayor to vote
