AT THE THEATERS

LOS ANGELES THEATER-The Old
Homestead evidently maintains it's pris-
tine popularity, and the capital produc-
.tion that is holding the boards at this
theater this week succeeds in adding to
the reputation of the play. 1t depicts
very truthfully country life in New Eng
land about half a century ago. The
scenery is very rural and domestic in
character City life, too, is also faith
fully portrayed, and the audience are
treated to an excellent picture of Grace
church, from which are heard issuing
strains of SWEET music by the choir.
BURBANK THEATER-There is an
indescribable charm about Uncle Tom S
Cabin that affects both young and old
and prevents the grand old story from
ever becoming hackneyed. In it's fine
fresh dress at the Burbank it is not sur
prising that it is drawing large and ap-
preciative audiences nightly. Horses,
donkeys, ponies and dogs add to the at
fractions of the pickaninnies and the
we'll known characters of the play. The
oinographoscope gives new pictures, in
which the figures move and live, each
evening and proves to be another very
attractive feature.
ORPHEUM-One of the special fea-
lures at this popular place of amuse-
ment is a sensational acrobatic act by
the famous European trio, Ara, Zebra
and Vora. Hayes. Lytton and Hayes
are old time favorites and their spark
ling comedietta, A French Marriage

of the program includes Charles Wayne

 Recently discovered facts tend to show that certain unknown parties have been making nice profit by stealing cattle in Pima county and driving them to Salt River valley for sale or shipment.
 By accident man saw 70 head of presumably stolen cattle ID corral near Casa Grande in May. His sus- melons were aroused by the large number of brands carried by the cat tle The two men in charge repre- scented that they had bought the cattle in the Baboquiviri mountains from the Indians, paying for them from four to six dollars per head. They stated that they were driving them to Tempe to feed and would return in about two weeks for more.
 c. W. Wright, attorney for the Pima County Oattlemen's Association, in time heard of this occurrence and communicated with Chairman Cam Cam eron, of the sanitary board By ar rangement, two men familiar with the brands of Pima county stockmen were sent to Tempe, and were taken by Mir. B. s. Mullen the local inspector, through all the pastures in the local ity. It transpired that the cattle sought had been held few days at Mesa to rest and had then been driven to Phoenix and shipped. The search ing parties tried to obtain from the records of the Phoenix inspector some information regarding these cattle, but only learned that inspection at Phoenix was an inspection in name only. 1t appears that the cattle had been vented and rebranded with a running iron and that the inspector had only recorded the new brand, although both that and the vent were still raw, and this in direct violation Of rule l2, which requires in such cases that the old brands also be taken and reported, in order that the for mer owners may be notified.
 While searching for these cattle Inspector Mullen and the two repre- sentatiyes, of the Pima county cattle men, found In Tempe pastures 8 number of cattle which had been stolen by Indians and sold to feeders. There were IT head which belonged to the Zepedas, of Ei Plomo, Sonora, and had been smuggled across the line.

Washington, April 15.-The Agricul
tural department is sending out to far.
mers and to experimental stations o.
large amount of beet sugar seed, with a
view to determine the feasibility of grow
ing the seed in certain sections of the
country. In an interview with regard to
the growing of the seed, Secretary VIII
son to-day said: ,.,,.
We have just about finished sending
out sugar beet to most of the States, in
the Union. They are experimenting
South about as far as the Carolinas and
Texas. Every effort has been made to
procure frst-class seed. Most of the
work is being done through the expert.
ment stations that get the seed from the
department and send it out with instruc.
tions regarding the cultivation Of the
plants and provision for the return OF
samples to the stations in the fall for
analysis. ..,...t ur..
The department is also taking in hand
the growing of high, heridity sugar beet
seed. The seed being sent out by the
department is the result of careful i'm
provement extending over many years
| in some cases 40 years Of time-where
every mother beet is tested by the pOlarls'
cope to ascertain it's per cent Of sugar.
This high, heridity sugar beet seed is
worth perhaps, its weight in gold. 1t Is
| the result of the very best work done
along these lines during all these years.
Such seed are exceedingly rare and very
| difficult to get. The agricultural de-.
| partment is believed to compass the
ownership of only about FIVE pounds of it,
| This is being distributed to our most
| careful r experiment stations al
different localities, notably Gene
va, n. Y, Wisconsin,, Iowa etc,
Bulletins are being issued from
the department, prepared by eX~
| perts, giving the people information re-
| garding sugar beet in all it's relations
| Such bulletins will be prepared from
| time to time and the results viii be
copied from the several stations and full
| information given to the people regard
| ing this important matter.
| Capitalists are turning their attention
| toward Investments along this line. There
will be no difficulty about getting money

from 100000 to a half million dollars
