AN INSIDE VIEW.
A Peorian'S View of the Peoria
Canal Sale.
President Greenhut of the Whisky
Trust IntimateS That the Prop
erty Was Bought in.

The following telegram from Peoria,
ILL.,, of the date of Jan. 4, to the Globe
Democrat, appears to confirm what was
apparent to people at the Arizona end
of the deal:
81. B. Greenhut, president of the
Whisky Trust, this afternoon said, con-
corning the sale of the ella Bend Irri-
cation company property to G. E. Crow
ley, of Los Angeles, for $1S5, 800, that
he had received but little information
from the large party of Peorians who
were present at the sale. The Peorians
had intended to purchase the property
themselves, and he did not know why
they had not done so. He had received
word they would be home Monday. He
did not think the sale final. for, he said
the dispatches intimated that Mr..
Crowley would sell to the Peorians for
the purchase price. More than 81 ,000,-
900 was expended by the company,
most of the money being put in by
Peorians, with a few stockholders in
Decatur and Arizona.
the largest stakeholder. At this time
he could not tell what the losses would
be, but said the stockholders would lose
several hundred thousand dollars. He
denied they would lose anywhere near
100000. The company, he said, he'd
been unfortunate, like many other con-
Germs. Their dam over the ella river
had been washed out twice, entailing a
large expenditure, and there were so
many conflicting interests that it was
thought best to put the matter in the
hands of the court and allow a receiver
ship sale. The Peorians held judgments
for $4,000 to $4,000 which will be
satisfied by the purchasers. Mr. Green
hut could not tell whether the stock
holders could gain possession of the
party, Monday"
The Peorians really hold no judgment.
They hold about $4,000 worth of re-
ceiver's certificates not yet due. The
PROF erty is estimated to be worth
about 81 100000 and the disposition of
80 great value for the amount men
toned in the dispatch is without re-
cord save in cases of unredeemed
pledges in the hands of pawn brokers'
The case is now on appeal taken by
the ella Bend Reservoir company and
its issue in the supreme court is await
ed with interest not only by rea-
son of the amount OF property involved
but on account of the many legal pro-
positions which will be presented.
Today is the day set for the conir-
nation of the sale. 1t is rumored that
objections will be raised by certain
creditors.

American and British Post Offices.

The United States has 69.OS5 post
offices, while Great Britain has 2O,O16
yet the latter has 74,S19 employees, to
1O1, OS5 for the former. The total re-
ceipts of the British postal service are
$50, 12O, 900, and S75, $50, 479 in the United
States. The number of letters handled
annually in Great Britain is 1,911 $780,
600 and 2.S52, 220,0 in this country.
Great Britain makes profit of $13,-
100000 by its postal business because
it's service is confined to 121 900 square
miles. Our 6S,OS5 post offices are scat
tered over an area of 3,501, 400 square
miles, which results in a deficit this
year Of dull business of about 50, 2OO,-

He Wants His 13-Year-Old Son Ar

This is disgraceful story of a min
lister of the gospel. His name is reluct-
antly published-well, it will not be
published at all this time, but in justice
to the other ministers of this county. it
is proper to say that he does not reside
in Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe or ella Bend,
moreover, he enjoys no prominence in
his worthy profession and has no regu-
lar charge. He has weakness for
wanting to pray sin out of Maricopa
county.
Yesterday he visited the Office of Dis
trict Attorney Millay on curious err
rand and the following conversation
next ensued:
Said the preacher: ~ want a war
rant issued for the arrest of my son."
What has he done?"
"Well, he and several other boys
have become unruly at school they ran
away, broke into house and stole a
gun"
''How old is your son?'

"Well parson," said the district at

with justifable. righteous and almost
religious profanity. "if you have any
witnesses of your boys crime send them

THE VOICE.
Few of the Opinions of Waldstern
Pegg, Musical Doctor.

Few of the Opinions of waldstern
Pegg, Musical Doctor.
DR.. Pegg, who was once an associate
Of Able List, entertains the opinion
that the voices of singers may be af-
fected by their diet. In those parts of
Europe where fish is the chief article Of
food, there are few fine vocalists, and
the voice in ordinary speech there is apt
to lack delicacy Of timbre and also dig
nifty. DR.. Pegg has come to the con-
clusion that the food most desirable for
singers is Of a gramnivorous kind, yet
they may properly include moderate
quantity of meat in their daily repast.
He discards the idea that malt liquors
give strength to the voice, though they
may stimulate It's action for a brief
time. They had better be avoided by
those singers who desire to keep their
tones fresh and rich.
The smoking habit is not necessarily
injurious to the voice, if the indul-
gence in it be we'll restrained and tenn
perate. DR.. Pegg has nc patience with
those French composers protesting to
be symbolists who would mingle with
music the potent spirit of perfume"
The ancient Romans believed that in
perfume there was subtle power to
create emotion, but it ought not to be
used in combination with music to in
tensify an artistic impression. The
music alone should be all-powerful

LIVE IN SNOW HOUSES.

Winter Dwellings OF Adventuresoms
Miners on the Yukon River.
Many adventurous prospectors have
been making their way in the last year
toward the Yukon River valley, IN
Alaska, and they have had to live very
much after the fashion of the natives.
Caribou and moose abound, though It's
not much. sport hunting them when
the thermometer registers SO degrees
below zero The natives construct
snow huts in about the time that would
be required to pitch wall tent. They
select place where the snow is about
four feet deep. A space by feet is
marked out. Blocks two feet square
are cut from the surface snow and set
IN edge around the excavation for side
walls. At one end three feet Of space
is dug down to the ground; in the bal
ance about two feet Of snow is left for
couch. The sides and ends are built
up tight and the whole is rooted with
broad slabs of crusted snow cut IN
proper dimensions to form a fat gable
roof, and loose snow is thrown over all
to chink in. At the end, which is dug
down to the ground. hole is cut just
large enough to admit man crawling
on his hands and knees. The hut is
now finished and sleeping bags and
provisions are packed inside. The
arms and ammunition are generally
left outside. After the outside work Is
finished everybody crawls into the hut
and the opening is stopped up from the
inside with a plug of snow that has
been fitted carefully, and no one Is ex-
pected to go out until it is time to break
camp. The combined heat from the
bodies Of the inmates, together with the
lamp they use, soon raises the tempera-
ture, and degree OF comfort is obtain
ed, no matter how cold 1t may be on the
outside. The Alaska Mining Record
says that similar degree Of warmth Is
obtained by no other manner Of camp
ing in that region. Snow tents that
are occupied for a month or more are
more elaborate, and are usually built
when the snow is six or eight feet
deep, as the roof can be made higher
and the hut entered by a covered. way
and through an ante-room in which the
dogs sleep and the sleds and other ar
ticles are stored.

sellers of those commodities could lose
nothing. John says he was thorough
ly pulverized by my last article; then
why does he get into my mortar again
and ask me to pound him?
Now / will call his attention to a
fact; not suppositious one, but gen.
uine solid one. An acquaintance OF
mine took a New York draft for 500 to
a bank in the city of Mexico and there
were handed over to him 5000 Mexican
silver. Mexico is on a silver basis
where John wants to put the United
States. 1t requires two dollars in Mex
leo to do the same work done by one
dollar here. Could John gain anything
by selling New York drafts in Mexico
Not cent. A Mexican silver dollar
will buy just soc worth here and that
is all it will buy in Mexico.

OUR SILVER CERTIFICATES.
The Bankers of Cork.-Nothing Green
About Them.


About Them.
1t is strange what ingenuity man
will sometimes exercise in creating an
imaginary evil to burden himself With.
John Dough, in the Union Of August
10 says: Those who are creditors of
the United States, or of its corpora
tions, go to the money exchangers of
Europe and buy our silver certificates
at 65 per cent. in gold. The statement
is wholly false and there is scarcely a
shadow Of foundation for it. Our silver
certificates are worth here dollar for
dollar in gold, being maintained at a
parity with gold by the national gov
eminent redeeming them in gold if de-
manded by the holder. The silver GER
tifcate by its terms is redeemable in
silver, but the only way our silver cur
rency can be held at par with gold is to
redeem it with gold when desired by
the holder. Our silver certificates are
not current in Europe and no one in his
right mind would take currency worth
here dollar for dollar in gold, to Europe
and sell them for 65 cents on the dol
lar there. If John Dough had a thous-
and dollars in silver certificates and
wanted to use the amount in Europe,
he would exchange them here for a
$1,000 gold draft payable there at the
cost of a small commission. If he were
fool enough to land in Cork with the
silver certificates in his pocket he could
not sell them there for more
than $500 in the money of that
country and John Dough would
be the loser and the sole
loser in the transaction. There is moth
ing green about the bankers liz Cork
If citizen of the United States travel
ling in Europe happened to have some
silver certificates in his pocket and was
under the necessity of using them for
expenses, he would have to sell them
to the money changers for whatever
they were willing to pay, and that is
the way the bankers Of Cork or any
other city abroad gets any o. S. silver
certificates. If they get q few of them
in this way and return here with them
they have as good right to buy buns
and beer with them as Anyone. The
