Nothing came of the investiga- tion into this crime, the Indians being discharged.

The Wool Shipments.

Another carload of wool was shipped Friday night over the Maricopa X Phoenix for Boston, being the seventh to leave the valley via the two railroads this season. The total clip of wool made already, it is stated, amounts to 275,OOO pounds. Shearing will continue for several weeks yet.
 Among the wool buyers in Phoenix at present are Thomas Ross of Las Vegas, John Lyons of St. Louis, Casper Colin of San Francisco. A. Vanderwort of Boston, and Messrs. Davis of Boston. and Green and McAdams of San Fran cisco. It is believed that nearly all of the wool clip of the valley will go to Boston, as freight rates are such that the wool can be shipped to that city as cheaply, it is said. as to Chicago.
 Wool growers. are finding feed on the desert to be very scarce this year, and while the bands are centered at the shearing. pens it has been necessary to feed them hay.

He says this moun- tain has an altitude of some 2,5OO feet. and is not far from where the extensive sulphur deposits are being developed. Some time ago. when the work of min ing sulphur first commenced, the super intendent was surprised to hear heavy explosion, not unlike an underground blast, and rushed up to the works, fear ful that the workingmen were blasting in the deposits wise thing to do. In response to his inquiry one of the men, an Indian, pointed toward the high mountain and muttered, "El Bramador." It seems that this moun- tain is still in an active state, although there is no exterior evidence of erup- tion. These explosions sometimes occur as frequently as twice in one day, and the dull. heavy booming of the report may be heard for miles. The only the ory advanced is that the accumulated gases down deep within the Bramador find vent at the volcano, or mud vol canoes several miles distant though the report of the discharge emanates from within the mountain.

The Holy Grail,

The procession of the Holy Grail OF
Bruges, as it is called, is one of the most
interesting and imposing annual eccle-
siastical pageants seen in this country.
The tradition is that in 1l47, during the
second crusade, Thierry of Alsace,
count of Flanders, became possessed of
portion of the Holy Grail, of which
Jerusalem was the proud holder. When
he returned home in 114s he entered
Bruges in triumph and presented his
treasure to the Chapel of st. Basil, now
called the Chapel Of the Holy Grail.
The present festival is always popular
one with the people, both high and low,
and thousands flock into our quiet town
from all parts of the country. A pc.
culiar1ty Of the procession is that il
is conducted in single file. The pro.
ceedings commenced at ten o'clock by
the celebration of the grand mass In
the cathedral, at which the papal nun
clio ofiiciated on this occasion. TO the
Order of Chauvines is given the duty
of carrying the relic. At two o'clock
the clergy mass themselves in the Place
du Borg, where n temporary altar Is
raised. In front of the altar stood the
papal nuncio, the Holy Grail in his
hands, and near him the archbishop OF
Bruges, while around were grouped the
different clergy in their various orders
and degrees, the prelates resplendent
in costly vestments. The populace fal
on their knees, and the sight is i'm
pressivc in the highest degree.-Pal

BROAD-TIREO WAGONS.
Result of Tests Conducted mt the
Missouri Experiment station.

The Missouri experiment station has
made a large number CT experiments
during the past two years with the
draft of broad and narrow-tired wag.
ons. These tests have been made with
the ordinary narrow-tired wheels and
with siX-inch tires, on macadam streets,
gravel and dirt roads in AL conditions,
on meadows, pasture, stubble and
plowed fields both wet and dry. Bulle.
tin No. 80 of the station, by Director ii,
j.. Waters, gives the results of these
tests. The broad tires pulled materially
lighter on the macadam street and the
gravel roads. Also on dirt roads in all
conditions except when soft or sloppy
on the surface, underlaid by hard road
bed, and when the mud was very deep
and sticky. In both of these conditions
the narrow tires pulled considerably
lighter. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that the roads are in these
conditions for comparatively short
| period of time, and this at seasons when
| their use has naturally been reduced 10
| the minimum. The tests on meadows
pastures, stubble land, corn land and
plowcd ground in every condition, from
| dry, hard and firm to very wet and soft
| show, without q single exception, q
large saving in draft by the use of the
broad tires.
| The bulk Of the hauling done by the
| farmer is on the farm, in hauling feed
from the fields and hauling manure
from the barns, etc. The actual ton
mage hauled to market is insignificant
in comparison with that hauled about
on the farm, inasmuch as large pro
portion of the products of the average
farm is sent to market in the form Of
| live stock or its products. 1t is clearly
shown by these experiments that il
| many instances where the narrow tire
| is very injurious to the road or field, the
broad tire proves positively beneficial
when the same load is hauled. When i
| is considered, therefore, that the nv
erage draft of the broad tire is materi
| ally less than the narrow tire, and tina
the injury done to the roads and farms
| by the narrow tire can be almost wholly
corrected by the use of the wide tires
there remains no longer any goot
reason for the use Of the narrow-tiret
wagons. These experiments further in
dicate that six inches is the best widtl
OF tire for the farm and road wagon
and that both axles should be the sam,
length, so that the front and reai
wheels shall run in the same track

ROAD ENGINEERING.
The Science Should he Taught In
Every Agricultural school.


Every Agricultural school.
The suggestion that the money de-
posted in postal savings banks, if es-
tablished, should be loaned for the pur-
pose of building good roads has been
favorably received in most quarters;
but Il. Ii. Ray, pioneer good roads man
of Montana, thinks that public debtsare
already large enough, and that more
knowledge of the best methods should
be acquired before undertaking such
general and elaborate work. lie says,
In the l.. A. w. Bulletin;
IGNORANCE is far more responsible
for bad roads than lack of expenditure.
Without disparagement Of the many
honest, well-meaning road officers, the
fact remains that road funds are large
ly misspent because officials have had
no adequate training for such work.
Many road reformers believe the i'm.
perative prelude to a general system OF
good roads, economically constructed
and well maintained, Is sufficient
number Of resident, competent road
engineers and country road supervis-
ors, and that no bonding should be con-
sidered before county has road Off
GERS who demonstrate their ability by
building a few miles, at least, of per-
manent good roads with the funds an
nually raised by taxation.
Glow is it possible to use road
funds wisely, over extensive area, until
a majority recognize that special skill
is required for that work, and elect
thoroughly qualified oflicials?, Is not
the most urgent need therefore, for
competent road-builders, instead OF
greater expenditure? Would not efforts
to provide such trained officials yield
far more satisfactory and less costly
results than creating road debts? II
every state had one or more schools
doing what the agricultural college OF
Rhode Island is accomplishing, viz.
giving practical course in road-mak
ing, and if in addition, after, say 1899
no one was eligible to a road office who
had not graduated with good RECORD
from such schools, would not the grea
obstacle to better roads be re
moved?
FINALLY, counties that are equipped
with competent road officers should
before borrowing, exact cash instead
of labor road or poll tax, and remove
the discrimination which eXempts mel
aged As and up. II, then, the communi
ty wish to bond, they should observe
two precautions-frst, place the in
terest burden only on those lands bene
fitted by the improved highway, and
second, make the bonds short time ant
payable in legal tender"

of the day when the judge was worried
with a tedious trial, Bill Williams, Of
the Lick Creek settlement, began gal

"Mr. Bailiff," commanded the judge,
sternly, Ego out and arrest that man
and bring him into court"
The baiiff went timidly out of the
courtroom and the judge attempted to
proceed with business. But Williams
racket outside did not cease. 1t grew
worse and the judge looked over the
room for some one else to send out, and
observed the bailiff sitting complacent-
ly on one of the back seats.
"Look here, Mr.. Bailiff, why did you

A PRETTY INCIDENT.
The Kindness of IA Spanish Lady to a
Lone Soldier Boy.

Lone Soldier Boy.
A recent traveller in Spain describes
touching scene witnessed at the depar-
ture of q regiment for Cuba. All day
long there had been heard the meas
ured tread of soldiers marching through
the street; all day long gayly bedecked
boats had been passing to and from the
vessel that was to take them to Havana.
The twilight began to deepen when the
correspondent saw startling and
pretty sight"-the impetuous action of
a portly, good-looliipg and well-dressed
lady, who noticed young soldier walk
ing dejectedly along down the pier in
his travelling gray, with a knapsack
strapped over his shoulders. All the
rest of the men had friends, their
noyias, mothers, relatives, and made
the usual gallant effort to look elated
and full of hope. This lad had no one,
and 1t might be OWNED that he was car
rying u desolate heart over the seas.
The handsome woman burst from her
group of friends, took the boys hand,
and said: "My son has already gone to
Cuba. He is in the regiment of Andalu-
STA, and sailed two months ago. You
may meet him, Pepe G.;~take this kiss
to him." She leaned and kissed his
cheek"
An English boy would have shown
awlkwarness, but these graceful
southerners are never at n loss for
pretty gesture and n prettier word.
The boy blushcd with pleasure, and still
holding the lady's hand, said with quite
natural gallantry, without smirk or
silly smile: "And may | not take one
for myself as well, senora| The lady
Redeemed, laughed n little nervously,
and bent and kissed him again to the
frantic applause of soldiers and civil
ians, while the boy walked on, braced
and happy.-Blackwood's Magazine.
