JACK AT MEALTIME.
What Happens Aboard Ship When
 Mess Gear is Piped
JEROME,

Preparing three meals a day for from 200 to 600 men is big contract, you will admit Nowhere else in the world will you find such a job done with less fuss and feathers, with more economy of time and materials or to such good advantage in the matter of results than on an American warship A bOmbardment or naval battle may take place during the day, but unless it is of unusual importance mess gear is piped thrice if the ship is still afloat
 Our bluejackets do their own cook ing. The captain may have his special steward, the senior officers their Japa- nese chef, but the men who mess for ward choose their cooks from among themselves. Perhaps you imagine the result to be crude cookery Don't be- lieve it. Jack may not live on the fat Of the land, but what he does eat must be we'll prepared. It is not the man who prepared it lilly suffers
 The gallery in the modern battle ship or armored cruiser is a distinct apartment, with steel walls, situated either il, the superstructure or on the gun deck. An immense range of the latest pattern, supplemented by smaller stoves, is presided over by the cooks of the different messes aft and the ships cook.
 It is about the busiest place aboard ship
 Such is the system. however. that the cooking goes on smoothly, and the meals are always ready on time.
 The food for all on board, the ad- miral and the newest apprentice, is pre- prepal ed in the same galley, and, de- spite the fact that as many as twenty cooks are crowded in the small space at the same time, friction is slight and the work is expedited in a marvellous manner. This is due to the fact that discipline and system prevail here as elsewhere on board naval vessel.
 The ships cook is the arbiter of all disputes, and as he is generally man of diplomacy, he has little trouble in preserving order. His position is one of importance, and the emoluments are considerable.
 Most of the cooks on American men of war are shipped as landsmen, but many Of them earn the wages of chief petty Officers. The pay of landsman is only $16 a month, but there are cooks for chief petty officers messes ill the navy who receive from the men belonging to the messes as much as $50 a month for their services. The messes may pay their cooks whatever they choose, but the lowest sum paid a man-of-war mess cook for his ser vices is $15 month.
 It should be noted that the mess cooks themselves do none of the dish washing. Every mess cook has at least one striker, whom he pays out of his extra salary for doing the dishwashing and ether scullion work, and some Of them have three or four strikers.
 The division of messes on board war vessel is arranged by rule. The admiral and the captain eat in solitary grandeur in their respective cabins, each having steward, cook and ser

 The members of the council met a. the city hall yesterday afternoon, but not in session. Mayor Adams gave each of them a copy of MT. Fosters report Neither the mayor nor any member of the council would express an opinion regarding the situation, but all said they hoped that a complete investigation would remove the sus- picion which had been made against the collector.
 Mir. Long keenly feels the situation in which he has been placed and points out several circumstances as a presumption of his innocence. One is that only last Saturday he deposited s121 which he believes man who had been guilty of dedication and dreadsd early exposure would have retained to enable nm to get out of the way. As to the investigation which has been made for years, he said that he and Recorder Jobs had urg as early as last January that it be made. but it was delayed. When the expsrt was i finally employed it was understood that his work would only cover the business to the beginning of the pras-
 ent year. This work was to be paid for by the city. Mir. Long told MT. Foster that since so long a time had elapsed between that period and the | time the investigation was actually begun, he would like to have his book,
 exported up to the beginning of the last quarter and if the council was unwilling to allow him to pay for this ex-ra work he would pay it himself

THE ARIZONA REGIMENT.
Apparently Cut Down to Three
 Companies.

The war department has decided that Arizona may furnish only three companies of the regiment which Gov ernor McCord has been given author ity to recruit The governor is en- deavoring to obtain a modification of this decision with very little hope of success He is undergoing disap- pointment. not so much on his own account. for he is given the command as on account of the large number Of men who had hoped to go out under the second cali. New Mexico is given four companies and the ieutenant-colonel. The rest of the regiment is to be recruited ln Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. The governor has sent long telegrams to the president and secretary of war pointing out that full regiment Of good men has been practically re- cruited in this territory alone and could be made ready to take the field at once. They are the same kind Of men as were enlisted under the first call. Arizona's contingent of the First volunteer infantry was mustered in before any other body under that cail
 
 eral rendezvous. It was among the foremost to land on the coast of Cuba and it was the foremost in turning impending annihilation of the Amer ican troops at La Quasina last Thurs day into the defeat and rout of the Spanish It was the first to plant the American colors on Spanish soil, the flag presented to the Rough Riders" by the ladies of Phoenix. The governor believes that the history made by the Arizona troopers last week should strengthen the terri tory's claim to a full regiment now. He also calls the attention of the de- partment to the circumstance that New Mexico neglected to avail itself of it's opportunity under the first call and neglected to complete it's quota. In his telegram he begs the president and war secretary to give Arizona, if not regiment, eight companies, and if not eight, at least six. At the close

COLLECTORS OFFICE
No Important Development in inc Alleged Shortage.
A New Expert on inc Books Will Close His LaborS This Afternoon and Make Report.

There were no especially new de-
 ve,opme nts in the matter of the alieg7a
 shortage i;1 the accounts of City As
 sessor and Collector Long. As early
 as possible yesterday morning he sa"
 his bondsmen and assured them that whatever was wrong with the books was only apparent. He was con- scious of having misapropprlatea none of the city's funds lie admit ted that there might he clerical errors in the books or he said there might be unintentioual inaccuracies arising from 2 misunderstanding of affalrs Tn the report of the expert. w. C- Fostel' whose report, by the way, has not yel been given out to the puol1c. NIT. Long told his bondsmen that II they believed that shortage existed He would willingly submit to detentlon pending a full investigation. w. l. Smith said the bondsmen wished to take no such course. They held an other meeting and decided to submit the books to another expert. Thsy employed Frank Meador, who began work immediately after noon upon the tax list which would naturally be the most frui .ful source of discrepancy. He made several interesting discoy- cries which in one sense reduced the alleged shortage Of S2,500 by s1,2o0, but presented g situation for which there is no imms diate explanation. The tax book showed that a great many persons had paid their taxes. At the same time the stubs Of receipt books failed to show that receipts had been issued to them. The receipts so far as MT. Meador has gone with the books amount to s1,200 less than the books show to have been paid. MT. Foster no doubt made the showing of the books the basis of his comparison with MT Longs receipts from the city treasurer, which were issued on re- ceipts given the collector by the Val ley bank. at which the city funds are deposited MT. Long says that he checked the receipt stubs for all col lectfons against the receipts from the treasurer and that they will be found in balance In what way the en- tries in the books establishing so ire quent, and in the aggregate, so great a discrepancy between the receipt

HOW MANY BEES MAKE A POUND.

Careful weighing shows that an or dinary bee, not loaded, weights the one 1-5000th part of a pound. so that 1t takes 5000 bees, not loaded, to make a pound. But the loaded bee, when he comes in fresh from the fields and flowers loaded with honey or bee bread, weighs nearly three times more, that is to say, he carries nearly twice his own weight. Of loaded bees there are only about 1S0O0 in the pound
 An ordinary hive of bees contains from four to five pounds of bees, or be- tween 10000 and 25,000 individuals; but some swarms have double this weight and number of bees.-Ameri- can Agriculturist.

Mir A. D. Fletcher of Pomona. Cal, Jie champion hay buyer from the coast, was in the city yesterday. He nas been in Tempe since the middle of April, but has been too busy to cross to the north side He has shipped 103 carloads of hay by the M & P. from Tempe to California and haS 155 more cars to ship. The hay market on the coast, he says, has ex- perienced temporary slump which was caused by an exceedingly low rate from Kansas City to the coast, result ing in immense shipments of Mis- souri hay. MT. Fletcher does not be- lieve that any more hay will be sent from the east. Buyers have learned that the best timothy and clover hay Of Missouri or the best prairie hay from Kansas Is inferior to the worst Salt River valley alfalfa.
 Speaking of the Salt River valley, MT. Fletcher believes that it is one of the most promising sections in the United States. He has travelled about 2.300 miles on the south side ans learned then that he had seen only an inconsiderable part of the valley He also learned that both sides now un- der cultivation is only an inconsider- able part of the area susceptible Of cul- tivation, which will be brought about when King Water. for water is king, shall be fully crowned, as he must be some time.
 One thing which especially struck MT. Fletcher is the extreme levelness of the country. Said he: 'I visited

The past week has averaged from
two to FIVE degrees a day cooler
than normal, with the greatest de-
ficiency over the north central
counties. Only one or two days
were very warm on the eastern
slope, while nearly every day
brought high temperatures in the
western valleys. In general, more
than the normal precipitation has
occurred, but coming as local show
ers the distribution has been un-
even. Thus parts of the north
eastern quarter of the state received
considerably more than the normal
amount, while the opposite is true
generally OF the western counties
and small areas on the divide and
in pe south h-central counties.
The weather conditions have
been generally favorable. Harvest
ing OF wheat and oats has progress
ed iavorably; 1t is practically COM
pleted in the Arkansas valley and
eastern counties. and nearing COM
pletion in the north-eentral sec
ton. Good progress is being made
on the western slope Grain is
unusually free from rust and smut
in San LUIS Park, where it is ripen
ing rapidly, but ii will be a week
or two before harvesting OF wheat
will be general A good crop OF
rye has been harvested along the
divide. There are complaints Of
rust and shriveled grain from parts
OF the western slope and the north
central section, but taken as whole
the grain crop will be fully up to
the high average. Corn is grow
ing rapidly, and gives promise OF a
normal yield. Protracted dry
weather has injured early potatoes
in localities along the divide and in
the south-central counties. A mark
ed improvement, however. IS noted
in the sections visited by rain, and
the crop is generally reported as
promising an excellent yield. The
second crop of alfalfa is lighter
than usual N the north-centrai sec
ton, owing to grasshoppers and
scarcity OF water. Blackberrie are
being marketed in Boulder county.
and cantaloupes and tomatoes are
being shipped from the Arkansas
valley. The streams are low in all
parts OF the state, greatly reducing
the amount of water available for
irrigation, which emphasizes the
necessity for more reservoirs to
store the surplus water OF the June
