ESTABLISHED FACTS.

Concerning Graham County, Which are
Well Worth Serious Consideration
by those Seeking new Homes, or Men
Seeking Profitable Investment for
Capital.
The agricultural resources of the
ella valley are both varid and ex-
tensive, comprising an area Of
arabic land of which there is at
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat,
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de-
cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home of
alfalfa, Of which from 4 to crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 5
to 8 tons per acre. 1t is not as
stocl1y as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolificly, the former containing a
very large amount Of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties Of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than IN the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill lands are
adapted to all of the products of
the temporal zone, and many of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with a sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
appearance and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards Of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some OF
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show

COUNTY FAIRS.


our improvement club is attracting
considerable attention outside of
our home circle, and should serve
as an incentive for other towns to
organize such clubs, and see that
they are maintained:
cover in Stafford, Graham county,
they have an Improvement Club
which is doing excellent work for
that town and the agricultural
section in which this thriving town
is located. Wednesday of last
week a meeting was held at which
it was decided to PROPERLY observe
Arbor Day by planting trees, also
! giving, an entertainment in the
evening. as an inducement to
make tree planting more general;
free admittance was given those
who had planted tree during the
day, while ten cents were exacted
those who were not loyal enough to
plant tree.
Another matter which received
the attention of the club at this
meeting was the advisability of
holding q county fair in Stafford
next September under the auspices
of the club.
The scheme is developing, and it
is entirely probable that a fair
will result, which is considered ad-
visable by the enterprising agri-
culturists of that county. They
appear to realize the importance
such a gathering would be to the
county, and it is the hope of this
journal that Graham county will
proceed in this important matter
and that the feeling will be infec-
tious to the extent that each coun-
ty in Arizona with agricultural re.
sources will follow with an annual
fair.
The real object ofcounty fairs is to
encourage agriculture and induce
immigration, thus developing what
in few years will be the leading
state in the Union. To be success
ful these fairs should not follow in
the erroneous way of offering their
largest purse or most valuable pre-
miums for horse racing, etc., but
rather for the best specimens OF
the product of the farm and range.
1t is fact which must have been
noticed by all, that it is u common
occurrence at such fairs that a
purse of 81 900 or more is offered
for the best pacing horse, drought

cent sum of $3.50 is offered for the

and was taken into back room where he
was beaten and robbed. He was then
thrown into the street. and was arrested
on a charge of drunkenness.
Barzouri cannot speak English, but
with the help of an Interpreter he told his
story IN the City Prison Yesterday morn

Probably Act and Convoke

A movement is on foot to organize for
political activity the n Non-Partisan party OF
1894. a request to the chairman OF the
campaign committee, Thomas Magee, was
made by Captain Stewart Menzies few
days ago for the purpose of calling that
committee together. This Mr.. Magee de-
clined to do.
II have no time to give to this busi-
ness" he said. 81 am too busy with my
own affairs. 1 told Captain Menzies so
wher he requested me to issue the call.
"He was chairman of the last conven-
ton and he can issue the call if he wishes.
will not. That's ali there is about it,"
h. j. Sullivan, vice-presidento of the cam
paign committee, was asked whether he
intended to issue call for meeting of
the committee. He replied:
Eyes, / will. Mr.. Magee is a very busy
man and no doubt he has no time to give
to politics this year. L being vice-presi-
dent of the campaign committee have q
right to issue a call, which will do some
day this week.
Captain Menzies, the chairman of the
last convention, has spoken to me about
doing SO and l have consented on the
matter.
'Some may think that this being a Pres
idential year we should not put Non
Partisan party ticket in the field. But
with those 1 disagree. There is neces-
sity for such party. Just look at the eight
Supervisors who now govern this City.
See the enormous taxation that the people
are saddled with. There is no reduction
in the water rates, but rather an increase,
when the number of hydrants that have

sidered. The CALL published not long
since an article on this subject that showed
what was being done in that direction by
the Supervisors and the Spring Valley
Water Company.
1--WE think we will be able to elect q
Board of Supervisors that will look after
the interests of the people instead of after
the interests of the corporations"
Captain Menzies reiterated these senti-
ments by saying:
There never was greater necessity for a
taxpayers or Non-P Partisan party than
there is this year.
81 asked Mr.. Magee to call the cam
paign committee together, but be declined
on the ground of having no time, so 1
went TO Frank Sullivan and he consented
to issue the call, which will be done, and
then we will go to work right away and
organize all over the City. In addition to
putting municipal officers before the peo-
pie we will nominate Senators and Assem-
blymen who will represent the people and
not the bosses and the corporations.
1--WE mean to go ahead, president or no

"At first thought that the belts had

the patrolmen did not cut any belts. Cap

told that his men had not touched the

joints where connections could be easily
made, and would never hack property in
the vicious way these belts were chopped
and slashed."
The fire insurance adiusters also made an
investigation of the wrecking of the Del
Monte mills and were satisfied that it was
the work of some fellow whose motive was
revenge.
The loss by fire and water on the build

through the proceedings.
No doctors materialized, however, ,,and
the only man who entered the charmed

took no part in the proceedings.
1t was to protest against Mrs. Bruner' s

that she was too i'll to come.

explain her report to the ladies here
when she is able to come, but she will not

stated that the federation. as an organiza-

THE WINNER is A Boy
Art School Teachers Defeated
in Competition With Their
Own Pupil.
How the Mardi Gras Ticket Afforded
an Opportunity for Young
Sidney Armer.

There has been considerable discussion
and comment on the action of the execu-
tive committee of the Mardi Gras enter
tainment of the Art Association in select
ing a design for a ticket, which, it is
claimed, was submitted by Edward
Bosqui, the well-known photographer. All
artists were invited to suomit designs
without their names, SO that the choice of
the committee would be impartial and on
the merits of the work.
Mr.. Bosqul was not present at the
meeting, said an officer yesterday, being
confined at his house by illness, and he
knew nothing Of what was going on.
There were four designs submitted and
the one selected was full of life and the
spirit of the carnival and full of color,
while the others reproduced dull effects
with all the figures at rest and which are
now con needed to be- by those competent
to Judge, as inappropriate, although
equally artistic They failed to catch the
spirit OF the occasion.
But OF course artists were disappointed
that the prize should have gone to a litho-
graphic establishment, for when the Sc
lection was made the committee was in
formed that the Bosqui firm claimed the
winning design. 1t aid not take the COM
winner was fairly in the competition be-
cause it was evidently the work of an
artist, whether he was regularly employed
by the photographer or whether he was
seeking employment for this special work.
Now 1t turns out that the winning de-
sign was really made by a clever student
OF the Art Association itself, Sidney
Armer, by name. This young man has
been student some time at the Art AS
sociation and occasionally gets orders from
Mr.. Bosqui to do such work as this. In
the secrecy of the competition it was
thought that the design came from pro-
fessional, whereas il was submitted by the
associations own pupil. The artists now
feel in better humor when they know that
one of the boys to whom they impaired
their knowledge entered the competition
and carried off the prize.
This proves the benefit of the competi-
tive system" said the association officer.

A PICTURE OF SHAKESPEARE.
1t May Be That the Poet Sat for
This One.

z May Be Ihat the Poet Sat for
This One.
If we can trust the "Willm. Shakes
peare, 1907 in the left upper corner of
the portrait of the poet now for few DAYS
at the Antiquaries in Burlington House.
we have at last an authentic picture of the
bard in his habit as he lived. For, on
comparing this oil painting with the
Droeshout engraving in the 6rst folio,
every one must see that the two are SUBJ
stantially the same. AT first sight the
spectator feels convinced that the portrait
is by a poor artist, who tried to
reconcile the engraving and the
Stratford bust, for the face is rather
shorter and broader more iowly, than the
engraving, and the braid on the coat
slightly differs. And if the date, 1909, is
later-as our correspondent thinks it is
this view will be held permanently. But
II the date is genuine, the conclusion must
be that the portrait has no pedigree to
speak OF. In 1892 the widow of Charles
Flower of Stratford Ion Avon bought it of
member of the Clements family in War
wlckshlre and gave it to the Shake speare
Memorial at Stratford, which her husband
bullt and endowed with very little outside
help. The tradition in the Clements fam
liy Is that the picture came TO them from
descendant of Shakespeare. This is very
vague We should have expected any
genuine portrait of the poet to have been
in the possession of his granddaughter,
Lady Barnard, and in that of her husband
at Abingdon Hall, Northampton, after
her death. But the portrait speaks for it
self. Ben Jonson guaranteed the likeness
of the engraving; that guarantees the like
ness of the portrait. Whether the latter
was made from Shakespeare himself de-
pends on the genuineness of the date 1909.
Our correspondent as we have said dis.
believes in the genuineness but holds the
picture to be of the seventeenth century
and made up from the Droeshout engrav-
lag and the bust. The frame is old enough,
though later than the picture.-Westmin-
ster Gazette.
