GLENDALE NOTES.
Closing School Entertainment Other
 Matters of Interest.

Glendale, Ariz, March 12-(Special Correspondence of The Republican, )- Will Kay returned Friday from Hi nois after an absence of several months-
 The prospects for the men who fOi- low the blow never looked brighter than now We may have made this statement before, but it will bear repe- titiOn, for it is a fact of deep signifi- canoe. Despite the Stygian chorus of chronic kickers, who, like the wind, are never weary, it is a matter of com mon observation that the condition of farmers in this locality is growing bet ter every year. Growers and shippers should make greater efforts than they do to supply northern markets with the products of the dairy, orchard and farm, but they can do little, unless the railroad people cooperate. When it takes ten days for shipment of eggs or butter to reach Ash Fork and Williams, the experience of a Peoria shipper-there is little encouragement in working up trade.

 The Glendale Bloomer club that came into existence with the sprir 2 flowers, took run to Tempe and Mesa last Sunday. No serious casualties were reported, though they met some fierce south side Jerseys and had to make a detour of several miles to avoid them. At present the club consists of Messrs. Dabney.

AMONG THE SPORTSMEN.

The shooting season has about closed. The close season on quail be- gan March 1, as did doves. Doves, however, only have rest until June 1. The close season on duck com mences April 1. It might as well be closed now as far as any duck shoot ing in the Salt River valley is con- cerned. Up about Prescott ard Flag staff, however, duck shooting is re- ported good. Sonora pigeons will be next in order, their usual time of ar rival being in June. The sport they afford is looked forward to anxiously by our spOrtsmen.
 It seems as though the sportsmen in the northern part of the territory are taking more interest in trap shooting than they have heretofore Kingman is said to have organized a gun club. Jerome boys are practicing regularly every Sunday. Prescott is at it again, and no doubt Wins1ow will soon be heard from with a cracker jack club.
 It might be well for sportsmen that are not very we'll posted on the game laws to read the following sections:
 Section ?. Every person, who in the territory of Arizona. between the first day of March and the fifteenth day of October ill each year, shall hunt, pur- sue, take, kill or destroy, or have in his possession, dead or alive except for purposes of propagation, any quail, bob-white partridge, grouse, or wild turkey, or any kind of wild duck. snipe or rail, shall be guilty of mis- demeanor; provided, that any person may hunt duck, brant or geese between the first day of October and the first day of April.
 Section 1. Every person, who in the territory of Arizona, between the first day of March and the first day of June in each year. shall hunt, pursue. take, kill or destroy Or have in his possession doves, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
 A correspondent from Prescott writes as follows: 'The selection of Charles Manderfeldt as the Prescott vice-president of the Arizona Sports mems association has met with the unanimous approval of his home club. for Prescott has a gun club again. It held a practice shoot last Sunday, the first for months. Ferguson, Jackson Hill and Manderfeldt being at the score. Andrews, Rarnhart. Hastings and others will also shoot hereafter. What scores were made? Oh, no! Your correspondent wants to live here awhile yet and can't give them away, but we will begin sending you some good ones soon."

the future. If it is a crime today to cut this wood, I cannot understand why it will not be just as much crime ten years from now. The Mexican woodcutters and the settlers in the val lev are the only ones that will feel any immediate discontinue, and the former are practically left on the town to support. There are, perhaps, 100 Mexicans who are now idle, who dare not cut stick for their own use with out fear of being arrested" concluded MT. Benham.
 Mir w c. Barnes thinks that when the department becomes familiar with the actual conditions in the territory that the order will be rescinded. "The argument that the wood growth is being ruined is ridiculous. This is true of the operations of lumhermen in the northern part of the territory, but in the valley it is not so. Every one knows that mesquite grows to a certain height and dies, and a new growth is constantly maturing. Up at old Fort McDowell the mesquite was cut off clean up to ten years ago, but today there are just as many trees as ever before. The valley people know that a row of cottonwood trees about a ten-acre tract of land will keep the rancher in wood the year round just from the spring trimming of the trees. There is no place in the world where trees grow faster than they do here For twenty years the practice of cutting the desert trees has been carried on, but today there are as many trees as there were when the first settler came here. The order is an injustice to not only the present settlers, but also to the prospective ones. The first thing new settler does is to grub off the trees and brush and the land increases in value when stand it. forbids him from selling this wood upon a homestead entry and he must bear the expense of having it cut without a market for it to recom- pense him. The territory of Arizona is also a party to this crime and it's operations in woodcutting are, per haps. greater than any individual. Hundreds of cords are cut every year by the convicts of the Yuma peniten- tiary under the direction Of the su- perintendent
 Special Agent Holsinger says that no confiscation of the wood already cut will be attempted. A reasonable proposition to pay stumpage. he thinks will be entertained by the department. He believes that a reasonable amount would be about 50 cents a cord. An offer has already been made by one firm which has several hundred cords cut. The nature of it was not dis closed by MT Holsinger.

PRIEST AND PULPIT.

THE BAPTIST CHURCH-Last evening Rev. Dr. Ha1sey preached on "A Vital Question:" finding his text in Matthew 27:22: What shall I do with Jesus?" This world is full of questions Man has been called the interrogation point of the universe. Never deceive children when they ask questions. You need not necessarily answer them. Our heavenly Father answers many of our questions, others He leaves unanswered. This ques- tion of the text is a personal question. Our own consciences press it home to our hearts. Each must answer it for himself This was a most important question for Pilate. It is as important to you. Mans life is spent in learning to answer questions. There are eX- aminations numberless. There is one examination of more importance than all the rest, and this will be the great question there. We can reject Christ as did the Jews: sell Him. as Judas did; deny Him, as Peter did; scoff at Him, turn away from Him, cruelty Him afresh-cr we can accept Him, follow on to know Him, suffer with Him and reign with Him.

FUEL WILL BE NO HIGHER.
The Action of the Department Cuts No
 Figure in Prices.

The order of Commissioner Herr man of the general land office which designates mesquite as timber and for bids further cutting of it upon govern ment lands, will have no immediate effect on the local fuel rates. There seems to be a general feeling that the order will be withdrawn, and the fuei men are not taking the matter seri- ously. To enforce it without discrim- ination the department will require regiment of special agents as the pTac- tice of using the wood product of the desert has become deeply rooted from many years of unobstructcd operations by Mexicans and white settlers.
 There might have been a different state for fuel consumers to contend with had the order come few months earlier. The fuel supply of the entire valley comes from the desert and hills. There is very little coal used here, owing to the low prices of wood, and with the supply cut off during the dead of winter there would have been more concern about the order than is given it now. Mesquite on Saturday was quoted at $450 by the Phoenix Wood and Coal company ''We have 800 cords in our yard" said MT. J. w. Benham of that company, "and be-
 sides this we have a e,feat deal of wood on deeded land in the valley which we are now cutting. I do not think there will be any necessity to raise the price of wood as long as we have this resource and yard full Of wood. I do not apprehend that the order will be enforced when the commissioner understands the hard ships it will work in this territory among the settlers who depend upon government land for their fuel supply.
 q cannot understand" he conrin- ued, "why the department selected our company as the victim of it's warning to others. We have 800 cords of wood at Maricopa ready to be hauled to Phoenix, but an agent of the depart ment has notified us that we cannot take stick of it from the land There are many others in the valley who have wood cut from government lands; in fact, all our wood supply is fraudu- lent according to this ruling. The mills in Phoenix get their wood by contract and the Mexicans cut it from the unsettled lands. Why does not the department light down upon them, too, as it did upon us? So far as I can learn we are the only people to suffer from this order, and such dis crimination is unfair and unjust. In the order the department, says that it's object is to preserve the wood for

today, and the mayor took the hint Carroll is as shrewd a politician as Croker. He has 'tsized up'' the situa- Zion and watches with interest the re- volt in Brooklyn against Croker. He is fully aware of Croker's ambitions to rule the state and believes there is no chance of his beating David B. Hill. Carroll does not seek to restrain Croker. He is in the council of his advisers and rather encourages his pol icy of absolutism. He knows that it will result in Croker's overthrow eventually and then Carroll's chance will come.

TAMMANY DISSATISFIED.
The Rank and File Hungry for tn,
 Offices That do not Come.

New York, March 12.-Murmurs of discontent are heard in Tammany The followers of the Wigwam's for tunes are beginning to rebel, and those who fiatter themselves that they can read the signs of the times confidently predict that there is trouble of a seri- ous nature coming.
 The facts warrant just such a |ndi- tion of affairs. The ordinary lam- many man puts forth as the irti- cle of his creed the desira se- curing public office at h; re muneration, and when pull is not forthcoming, there is ele 1t disappointment, if not entment. Although the Tammany administra- tlon has been in undisputed power in the city government for more than two months, the percentage of Tammany workers who have secured office is ex- ceedlngly small. It is true that most of the district leaders have secured pretty good berths for themselves. but the rank and file have been neglected.
 The charter which governs the city of New York has turned out to be a good thing for the Tammany district leaders, because through it they have secured positions which pay salaries from S7,500 down, besides affording them opportunity to make something "or the outside.' But the followers of these leaders, the men who do the Tammany work year in and year out the men who pile up the votes in cleo tion day, who constitute the backbone of Tammany, are not better off than they were under the previous admin istraton. TheyH have been trying to find out why they are treated in such a manner, but get little satisfaction.
 The leaders tell them that if is all the fault of the civil service restric- tions. They explain that civil service protects the employees of the preceding administration and that until new rules and regulations are promulgated the reformers cannot be busted. The Tammany rank and file retort that the new rules should, have been issued long ago, and they can conceive of no reason why there should be such de 1ay. The district leaders reply that there is only one person who knows all about the matter and advise the
