THE NEWS OF GLENDALE.
Barley Promises to Rule High-Big Cattle Sales-Items of Interest.

Cattle Sales-Items of Interest Glendale, Ariz., March 27.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- In case of war with Spain, provided it extends into the dog days, we foresee important benefits accruing to a large section of our population. The candi- date with his unctuous smile and his automatic handshake will find the task of addressing his beloved con- stituents greatly simplified unless the candidates all enlist, which the Three Sisters forbid! In place of the mo- notonous gray of tariff and currency lurid and ghastly hues of gory war, and an ounce of patriotic eloquence will go farther than pounds of per picking explanations of his official acts. So let slip the dogs of war! Hatcher & Hirst have sold the liar mon herd which they recently pur- chased, to Nathan & Johnson, who will ship them to Kansas. They have closed a deal with Bark & Criswell for a lot of cattle.
 Ranchers are expecting barley to hit the dollar mark at harvest and present
 indications are that their expectations
 will be realized. Barley and wheat in
 most cases are looking fine.
 i The interior ofthe Brethren church
 has been finished in an attractive l Tod out and nicely painted and number
 of new seats have been added. The proceedings recently instituted
 against "Brudder Johnsing" will com
 pei that worthy to lure MT. Fox from his spurious seclusion. This case may develop strange facts that will rival the famous case of Dr. Jekyll and MT.
 Hyde.
 | Professor E. J. Wickson of the Uni versity of California is the author of
 a book entitled California Vegetables in Garden and Field" It is described as a manual of practice and is pub l lished by the Pacific Rural Press at 1 $2 While applying more particularly to California, it is equally valuable to ! gardeners here where the conditions
 are similar.
 Sol Hershey is just recovering from l a severe attack of pneumonia
 ! Adams & Hamilton have purchased a range north of the valley with sev- eral hundred head of cattle, which they will place on pasture here. The damage by the recent frosts | was very unevenly distributed. Some orchards were injured severely, while
 others were affected but slightly. Early l apricots suffered most, though in some orchards they were far enough ad- vanced to escape. There will be an
 abundant supply for home consump- | tion and local shipments. Peaches
 were damaged but little and a heavy crop is promised. There will be more almonds than usual and other fruits will yield about the usual crop.
 M. Black is laid up with a bad case of erysipelas. His condition at times
 has been very serious, but at the
 present writing is more hopeful
 In view of the present good prices and a prospective demand from Cali fornia, ranchers will probably devote
 an increased acreage to hay. It pays to make hay when the market is from $6 to $7, but not otherwise. From l careful estimates it costs S4 for money
 and labor actually expended to put a ton of baled hay on the cars and this is exclusive of rent or interest.
 Fred Howell, the enterprising life l insurance solicitor, has returned from
 there very rosy in view of the ex- tensive irrigation enterprises now on 1 foot, and will probably locate there later.
 J. B. Doner has leased the Glendale Mercantile company building. He eX-
 poets to install complete stock of
 hardware in the vacant storeroom shortly.
 1 Local interest in the all-absorbing war news was temporarily Overshad- owed by the election of a school trus- tee today. In rural districts this is
 the great day when the pent-up pride
 of citizenship, which every true Amer l ican cherishes, finds periodic vent. We have cur bosses, big and little, and all the varied phenomena of politics writ
 small. But withal there is such good
 nature and charity about it all that no bitterness is left when the mimic | fight is over. The election this year was not quite so interesting as last when 130 votes were cast. E. T Hawkins and w. s. Hatcher were the rival aspirants for the position left
 vacant by the retirement of s. B.
 Stoner, and when the ballots were counted the former was found to be elected by 59 votes to Hatcher's Al
