Yale's crew has rowed unchanged Tor
the past two weeks, and is now in tina
same order in which. as freshmen, i de-

The date of the Cornell Harvard Yale

Cornell will not consent to row later

declared off.
Americans will have only one opinion
OF the action of the Henley Regatta

rapidly approaching when the big tri-

will be several amateur and profess
sional races and an exhibition by Jimmy
Michael.
TRACK building in America is improv-
ing" said Jimmy Michael, after he had
made the circuit OF the Ambrose Park
track. 81 am quite certain that Amer
lean tracks now will be just as fast as
those on the other side of the ocean. i
am in favor of marking off American
tracks in kilometres in order that we can
claim worlds records if we make them.
The French will not stand for English
measure, and most of the English tracks
use kilometres in order to make COM
parison with France, and ] don't see
why Americans might not do the same
thing. 1t would be quite help to rae

Manager Shafer doesn't think Michael
would ever be jockey if he lived
thousand years. He believes that the
racing people are "jollying" the midget
with the belief that he would be great
jockey, when they know well that he
will never be. Their object in doing SO,
according to Shafer is to kill the cycle
racing game, which has effected their in
terests. Whether this be true or not
one thing is certain, that Michael would
be one of the greatest attractions the
racetrack people have had in years.

A Chicago man says:-lt is worth the
prize OF admission to see the way Bill
Everitt enjoys first base. He has all the

a fan than the celebrated T. Donohue.
Line hits, grounders, and foul flies are
all one for the big fellow, and the more
the merrier. He seems to be a natural
first baseman of the new type and keeps
either foot on the bag when after a wide
throw as readily as if he had played tie
bag from infancy.

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION.

Trerirory of Arizona. Executive Of
 flee:
 The law of this territory directs tha. the Friday following the first day of February in each year shall be ob- served as legal holiday and be known as Arbor Day. The law also directs that the governor shall make procla- nation of the same.
 The couuty school superintendents of each county are required to pre- scribe a course of exercises to be ob- served by the public schools. And il is made the duty of the authorities in every public school to assemble the pupils under their charge and to have and to hold such exercises as shall tend to encourage the planting, pro- teclion and preserva1io ion of trees and shrubs and the best methods to be adopted to accomplish such results.
 In this arid region of almost per Detual growth, with a climate so be- nign, the possibilities of the soil so generous, where plant life under thu vitalizing power of irrigation devel- ops so rapidly and comes to such high state of perfection; and where the desert can be transformed into the vineyard, orchard and forest growth, augmenting rainfall, retarding evap- oration and thus creating natural res ervoirs, this day and its purposes are most significant.
 Therefore, I, Myron H. McCord, gov ernor of the territory of Arizona, pur- suant to law, do hereby recommend that AriZona's Arbor Day, Friday. February 4, A. D., 1898, be observed by the people of the territory as the annual festival of the year, when par ents and children alike will partici- pate in the planting of trees, vines, shrubs and flowers, in beauIfying school grounds with living monuments of their school days; in the promotion of forest and orchard growth and cul- tivat;on; in the adornment of private and public grounds, places and ways, and in such other efforts and under takings as shall be in harmony wiib the chars cter of the day
 Done at Phoenix, the capital, this 29uh day of January A. D., 1898.

 Bishop Kendrick of the Episcopal church is a noted man in many ways. Although advanced in years, he car ries on his work with the vigor of & much younger person. Last summer he foated down the Colorado river from the Needles in a frail canoe in order to visit the mission at the Par ker Indian reservation. He was in Jerome lately and held services at the local church The ladies made up a purse of $10, thinking to do the gen. erous thing, but the worthy prelate refused to accept it, asking that it be used in the church work.
 It is fact that there is no; enough wheat raised in the Gila valley to supply the demand for flour at our To- cal mills, yet last summer wheat sold for but little more than half what it was worth in Chicago and flour sold for less in our mills than it was worth in Denver. Such conditions as this our farmers might avoid if they could organize and maintain a proper or ganization. Hay is worth $7 per ton on board the cars in Phoenix,( while here the ruling price is S6. If hay is to sell for no more than S6 per ton in this valley, even when it is worth $7 in Phoenix then there must be an over production and the sooner some of the alfalfa is plowed up and the land blamed in grain the better for the farmer. But little money can be made growing alfalfa aE s6 per ton and none at $5. The farmers of this valley should form an agricultural as- sociation to look strictly to their own industrial interes,,s Such an associa- rtion could be made generally benefc- aI.-Solomonville Bulletin
