POLLED DURHAMS.
How This Breed of Cattle Was
 Established.

The following article on the origin of this breed of cattle is taken from The Austra1asian, periodical pub lished at Melbourne, Australia:
 A few years ago I drew the attention of Australian cattle breeders to the fact that a race of polled Durhams had been established in the United States Since then several portraits of the new variety have been given in The Australasian. The animals portrayed exhibit all the characteristics of the Durham breed, minus the horns In referring to this new variety, the old name of the breed has been brought into use again, as it would be pal pable misncmer to call them polled Shorthorn. Why this name of Short horn supplanted the old name of Dur ham I am unable to say. It certainly does not describe them, for have seen many ShorthOrns, and of very aristo- cratic pedigrees, that were really mid dle-hOrns. When the establishment of the new variety was announced, it appeared to be the general opinion among British cattle breeders that the services of bull of one of the boiled breeds had been employed to get rid of the horns, and the produce bred to pure Shorthorns to keep the charac- teristics of the breed. That some herds were formed in that way, and by us- ing pure Shorthorn bulls with native ''muley" or boiled COWS, there is no doubt But it has been conclusively proved that boiled Durhams have been originated in America from stock which, from their pedigrees, were en- titled to entry in the British Herd

 The secretary read letter from Mir. Henry Mann of the Hudson Reservoir company in which he said that he cost of water under a reservoir system like the Hudson project would mean an ex- t.ra expense to the consumer which would be about double the present charges made by the canal companies.
 Chairman Goldberg was authorized 10 appoint three committees as fol- lows: Private ownership Of reservoirs, corporation ownership, and govern ment aid in the construction of res ervoir An invitation was extended to all persons who have water storage propositions to present them to the committee at the next meeting, which will be held on Tuesday at 3 o'clock at the city hall.

 WHAT PEOPLE SAY. :

Lincoln Fowler: There is go. ng to be plenty of water for next years crop, and there is every reason to believe that the acreage of beth alfalfa and barley will be incrc ased in the valley this winter. It is also apparent that California will not have a full crop next year ewing to the prolonged dry season there, which means good prices for Salt river valley ranchers again next year.
 J. A. Macdonald, St. Joseph, Mo-: When I came to Phcenix I exre-te1 to find the city surrounded by patch tcf irrigated land reaching no more than mile on all sides Of the city. I nevlr expected to find such magnificent de- velopment as you have here. I am en- toying the sunshine and I rather enjoy the prospect of coming here to reside permanently, which 1 trust my bus,nes5 5 enga gemen $ will not in erfere with.
 
 Dr. Chandler: We are not mueh afraid of the water which is contaipc q in the sncw banks i'll the mountains unless there should come warm rain before the gradual me1ting of the sncw sets in.
 Mayor Adams: People are arriving g in the valley very fast now. After the holidays they will come in greater numbers than ever, and the Adalrs ali resdy has fifty TeScG V4eionS of qGar- ters for some Of those who are coming with the rush. Ths winter season will nc doubt be a good one.

BARk-MURRAY CONTEST
The Hearing Will Take Place in
 Special Term Today.

The hearing of the Bark Murray con- test will take place in district court today. The respondent yesterday by his attorneys, Baker & Bennett, filed his answer to the contestants state ment along with a demurrer and objec- tion. The answer denies as set forth in the statement that in the twenty four precincts specified that any votes which ought to have been counted for Bark were rejected, and that any votes were counted for the respondent. which should net have been.
 The answer also alleges that in these same precincts votes which had been cast for the respondent were either not counted at all or else were counted for the contestant. The respondent there- fore prays to be hence dismissed.
 The demurrer and objection allege tha. no special term has been called for the hearing of this contest as the law requires. A motion is made to strike out the statement for the reason that it does not contain sufficient ground for action, and for the further reason that it does not state facts suf- fcient to constitute grounds.
 The attorneys for the defense are somewhat handicapped in this case As to the special term, Judge Baker the senior counsel, made ruling on this point in the Bell-Hooker contest, and no one took issue with him then. The answer and the demurrer raise the first objection that has been made to his ruling.
 Roturn was also made of the notice served by District Clerk Gill fixing January as the time and Justice John stones office for the place for the talk ing of dispositions oy Justices Kincaid and Johnstone in the legislative con- test instituted by the democratic

CASTLE INVESTIGATING THE
SUSPECTS STORIES REGARDING
HIS WHEREABOUTS AT THE
TINE OF THE MURDER.

TINE OF THE MURDER.
Some heretofore undiscovered crime
may confront Charles Wilson, colored,
whom the police, at the instigatlon of
Attorney General White, arrested at
Petersburg, Va, as the suspected muir
derer of George ID. Farra The records
OF the police department have been
searched, but no crime so far, can be
traced to the man.
Wilson has been closeted with the
officials, and the statements made by
him regarding his whereabouts on the
night Of the murder, his de-
parture from home the next
day. his acquaintance with
Thorn, and the fear displayed by him
when arrested at Petersburg, have no
bearing on the case whatever. On the
afternoon Of the day preceding the
murder, which was December 10,
Wilson and his wife, who lives In Now
Castle, became estranged, and that
night another quarrel followed. On
December II, the day of the crime,
Wilson again quaweled with his wife
which resulted in his leaving home and
going to Petersburg. Several days
passed and on December 16 or IL,
Wilson wrote to his wife. These let
ters led to his arrest.
The story OF Wilson's possible con
nection with the Farra murder origi-
mated in New Castle when it was dis
covered that Wilson's wife was receiv-
ing letters from Virginia. Mrs. viii
son, II Is said was well acquainted with
Thorn, and this was regarded as a clue
II was also believed by those who dis
lowered that Mrs. Wilson was receiving
letters from Virginia. that Thorn Went
TO her house and changed his clothes
but this she stOutly denies.
However. If Thorn did go 10 Mrs
Wilson's house TO change his clothes
there was ample time for making away
with the garments, as the letter clul
was not discovered until about ten day.
