AN INQUIRY
Regarding Local Climatic and Finan-
 CiaI Conditions.

A man who lives in a state in which the study Of spelling is not compulsory writes the Republican as follows, for information about the country:
 Giants Dear Sir will ycu be so Kind
 6 infcrTne me about your countIy Pleas state how hct it gifts in the Sumer & cold in the Winter 6 DCss the sand blow much. Is it fogey in the Winter or Doss it Rane all the time What is Land selling at 6 Whad cand you Rase there. is it a good Climit for the asmay and is it dry 6 damp. Please send me a coppy cf your Paper. What is wages wcrth? How is bisnis? What cand a mand due fer living? It seems to me lik it gets offel hot thar in the Sumer."
 The gentleman at the head Of the Republican bureau of information has replied in part to the inquirer's re- quest; he has informed him that his last observation is singularly correct con- sidering that it has been made at dis tance and must have been based larg5- ly on hearsay. The records cf the weather bureau which was established here about six years ago show that the weather Is SOnGWndL Wdfm0F Ill IIG summer than in the winter. It .das also been officially observed that on an average it is colder in the winter than in the summer. Tlnese peculiar meteCrO- logical conditions had indeed been suspected as lCng ago as 1864 Ey the early residents of the valley almost a generation before the weather bureau was established here to confirm suspic- ion and develop it into a fact.
 It is on record that during the May harvest of one Of the early seventies, it grew so cold one day that workmen were compelled to abandon the fields go to the houses and build fires around which they shivered until night, when they found relief by going to bed. Upon this frigid incident Colonel c. H. Gray founded tlheCTy regarding the prehistoric inhabitants of the vall5y, concerning the cause Of whose disap- pearance there has been much specula- ticn among archaeolcgists. Col. Gray believes they were caught unprepared in the summer tinns and were frozen 10 death.
 Still it may be stated as general regarding the climate of the Salt River valley that the sensible CT wet bulb thermometer indicates higher temperature during the sum

OUR SOLDIERS DEAD
Arrangements for Bringing inc
 BodigS 10 inc United States.

Washington. Jan. 4.-Gen. Luding- ton, quartermaster general cf the army, has completed arrangements for bringing back to this country tEe bodies of American officers and soldiers inferred al and in the vicinity of San tiagc, Cuba; Ponce and other 20 nts in Porto Rico, Manila and Honolulu.
 The graves have been car5fully mark ed by officials of the quarterm1s 5er's department, who have gCne over the several fields and have succeeded in Identifying nearly all Of the Ameri- cam dead. A large number Of metallic caskets are now being manufactured. The shipments Of the caskets VIII begin about Jan. 10, and a force Of skilled men will go with them to attend to the work of disinterment, hermet!cally sealing the caskets and shipping them back tct this country. They will b> brought on the government trans ports, and the first caskets will bsg-n arriving about the end of January.
 Duly authorized relatives CT IeCre- sen tatives of the families of the de- ceased soldiers who wish the remains sent to their homes are requested to at once notify the quartaTmaster general of such desire, stating in full the name of the soldier, the company and leg mont to which lne belonged, and the ad dress including town, county and state, to which the remains are to be ship ped, so they can be advised of the date of shipment when made.

mer months, notably June, July and August
 The inquirer has been however par tially deceived by report. The mercury has never within the local existence of the weather bureau risen to the de- gree marked by the word 'offel." In fact only Fahrenheit and .Centigrade thermCme.srs are used in this latitude and no provision is made cn them for the registration Cf a temperature ex- ceeding about 275.
 To the question, What is wages Worth? ?" reply is made that the value of wages depends entirely upon the amount Those who receive, say s Q day, get $3 a day in the legal money of the United States, or about twice ss much as the same wages are worth in Mexico and twice as much as they would be worth if the pe0- pie Of the United States had seen fit to adept the Chic ago platform and Bryan two years ago. There was however, a conspiracy on the part Of large majority of the v55- CTS Of this country to keep the value Of wages up at that time and the inf1u- ence of that conspiracy was so far reaching that it's effect is felt sven in the Salt River valley two years later. No complaint however, has besn heard from these who receive the wag1s.
 Any information by physicians re- garding the prevalence Of ''asm8y'' in this climate and figures from real e3- tate dealers with reference tc the price of land forwarded to this cffica will be transmitted to the inquirer.

ERlZONA'S PAST.
incorporation of inc Territorial Anii-
 quarian Society.

Articles of incorporation of the Ari- zona Antiquarian society were flsd in the office of the county recorder yes terday. The incorporators are pr. J. Miller. James McNaughton, c. w Johnstone, Harry E. Zuck, E. w Wells, T. c. Norris and c. w. Grouse. Tempe is named as the headquarters of the association. The capital stock is $10. 000.- The management of the affairs of the association for the first years is placed in the hands of a board con sisting of the incorporators. The pres ident is pr. Miller, and the secretary. Professor AcNaughton, elected at the annual meeting last Saturday.
 The object of the association is to bring together into an effective orga- nization all persons residing in Ari- zona who are interested in antiquity to extend the bounds of scientific knowledge of the antiquity of America, with special reference to Arizona, to collect specimens and relics of the prehistoric races of this continent and to preserve them in some suitable re- pository for reference and study, and to make a scientific history of them.
 The richness of the field in this ter ritory for the antiquarian was set forth in Dr. Miners able paper at the an nual meeting, in which he showed that this was, perhaps, not the new world, but the very old one, from which prehistoric races emigrated to the orient and thence to Africa and Europe in that ceaseless western march which has been perceptible since his tory began to be written and the of races accurately re- corded

A LOYAL WESTERNER.
Mir. Willard Talks About His Experi-
 ence in the Western Country.

MT. Asa Willard, recently of the Hen dersOn company, is a thorough west erner in every sense of the word. The hospitality of the western people, said MT. Willard to reporter, lis only sur passed by the old families Of the south. :" MT. Willard is young man who is am- bilious to become a great actor He is a close student and during his stage career which covers a period Of but four years, he has secured many impor- tant engagements, chief among them being the Bittner Theater company and later the Henderson company. One of his successes was in the title role of "Ths Gay Decaiver,'' which he will pre- sent here on Thursday night.
 'EAn experience i. shall always remember with pleasure in my thou sand mile walk from San Francisco to Seattle" said MT Willard While at tending the university of California my health failed me, and Undermined to walk home, simply as q matter of recreation and adventure. I got both. Of course I had money to pay my eS- penses. However, the farmers and miners along the route refused to take anything for their kindness, a great number of them being natives of that hospitable state of Missouri I gained eighteen pounds on the trip.
 And, again the pOssessOr of a healthy stomach, needing constant nourishment began to look for life's occupation, and hit upon that of the stage, and thus far 1 have no regrets as to my choice. In my opinion there is more intelligence in our profession than most others. The better classes

 John S. Tait: TC these who intend going into the culture Of dates I would recommend that they use the see1s in stead of importing the plants from California for the re2s-n that the plants are liable to bring disease with them just as he orange trees imported from California bring scales. However, if we are as fortunate in respect to S easad date plants as we are with the orange trees there would be nc com plaint. The scales find it impossible to thrive in this vall5y, but 1 am nCt sure that the fngus disease Of the date plant will succUmb So readily to the extermina ting qualities Of the atmcs- phere of this valley. The da.a palms which have been grown in the valley were produced from seeds ard there has bsen no disease at all, and l hope it will net be introduced into the valley by bringing plants from California.
