A RELATED BID
Waich Brought With if Food for
 Thought.

i Another ltd was received at the
 office of the board of supervisors yes terday for the s7,OO0 issue of Mesa
 City school bonds, sold last week to Dwight B. Heard at a premium Of s525.
 Though the bid came in several days too late for consideration it is
 still worth thinking about. It was
 from a New York broker who under stood that the bonds bore four per
 cent interest instead of seven per
 cent. He offered par for the issue,
 but asked a commission of fifteen per
 cent. At first glance S5 per cent is not a very good bid, especially since
 there is a fixed objection in this terri tory of a few years standing to req lizing less than par from any public securities. But after all, this is far the best bid made for the bonds and the best bid ever made for any Ari- zona bonds, territorial, county or municipal. There were two reasons, of course why it could not be enter tained One was that it came too late, and the other was that the cOun- ty had no four per cent bonds to sell. Comparing it with the price paid by MT. Heard, which was the best offered for the bonds advertised. an interest ing suggestive fact is shown. The New York bid as has been stated was for four per cent bonds. If the bonds had been 4's there would be saved to the county in interest in twenty years S4.2OO The saving would really be more than this since the interest must be paid annually from the first year, but for the purposes of this compar- sion no account will be taken of per cent interest on interest. DeductI1g from this saving of $4200 the com mission of the bidder $1 ,050, there still remains gain to the county of $3,l5O in twenty years. Deducting again the premium paid by MT. Heard $525, there would still have been a net saving to the county in the New York bid of S2,625.
 At the time the bond issue was or dered nobody imagined that four per cent school bond would attract bid The supervisors objected to a seven per cent issue and for a time would consent to no higher rate of interest than per cent. The trustees of the Mesa district. however, urged the mat ter so strongly that the board gave way. It is not likely now that this county will ever put out a more than five per cent interest bearing bond, should come over the country.

PREPARATION.
A StNnge Coincidence in the Life of
 a Fireman.

Soon after 1 entered the fire depart ment," remarked a hostler of the city fire department, 'it was my hard luck in responding to an alarm bo, run over and terribly injure a small boy, who was playing in the street. It was an unavoidable accident. but just the same, it had it's effect on me, and for time it preyed heavily on my mind, and probably would have done so ur- til today had it not been for the sequel, which righted up matters somewhat.
 T kept myself pretty well informed as to the condition of the boy, and was extremely happy when I saw him on the streets again, and to all appear ances fully recovered from the injury which I had inflicted upon him. Well, time passed along and the boys family having moved frcm the house where I've took him after the injury, for a while l did not see him, though I oc- caSCCnally heard from him.
 One rather rough night about a year afterward our company responded tci an alarm in the northwestern part of the city. On arriving at the fire was sent to one of the upper rooms of the burning building to rescue some children who were in the room and who were terribly frightened, as they had good reasons to be, for they were in considerabl danger. There was a light burning in the room, and the moment I entered it I recognized the little fellow that I had driven over and injured. If there ever was a little fel- low who was carefully wrapped up in bed clothes and with his little sister taken downstairs and to place of safety, you can bet it was that boy and girl. The same look of fright was up- on his face, which I had not forgotten, but ! don't think my face looked as bad as when I had picked him up in my arms before. I was supremacy happy in being able to return some good for the i'll I had done him Star.

THE FAULT FINDER

It is hardly necessary to inform the public that a departure has been made by the strawberry trade in the substi- tuition of scHcalIed 'three-q1Iarter of a quart boxes for the old reliable quart box. At the beginning of the season it was announced that this substitu- tion would occur, but 1t was also given cut that it would affect only the shipping trade and that it had been made necessary by the dishonest practices Of the California growers. do not believe the new boxes hold three-quarters of a quart. They are not nearly so large at the top as the old boxes were, they are not nearly so high and the sIcpe is something crim- inal. It is certain, though, that what ever was intended by their adoption, nobody is deceived. Perhaps only new standard of strawberry measure 'was intended, but it is observed that there is no corresponding change in the price. Berries are sold now for 10 cents a box CT three bcxes for a quar- ter. This is about the price the large boxes brought alt this season last year, from which circumstance one is brought to the conclusion that the

STUDY IN ALFALFA
1 Seven Acre Plot Near Phoenix
 Sets a Pace.

Here is a study in alfalfa: They have just finished the first cutting of seven acres of alfalfa on the Tracey ranch on the north end of section 6, township 36. The yield was seventeen tons, which has been bought by MT. Clark of this city for $6 ton. There will be three mere cuttings, each of which, if the owner succeeds in gelhting as much waiter as he needs, ought to yield as much as the first one, so that that seven acres will produce $40S for the season.
 MT. Clark formerly owned this raElch. He had an alfalfa field of thirteen acres, from which he cut fifty five tons in a single season and then rented the ground to a cattleman for eighteen days at $50.
 This seven acre alfalfa field is no lbes- ter than hundreds of other fields in the valley on both sides of the river. These figures explain in part the pros perity of the farmers of Maricopa county, especially those farmers who do not waste their time and land in experimenting in impossible crops and projects.

A NEW HERALD OWNER
Harvey H. Helm of WIckenburg Now
 fhe Majority SfockhoIder.

. The Phoenix Deily Herald has been reorganized again. Negotiations for it's reconstruction have been going on for several weeks and were ended only late yesterday afternoon. The pre- else plan of reorganization has Tot been given to the public. It is only known that Harvey H. Helm, min ing man of Wickenburg has put $4 ,0G0 into the enterprise and that he will be represented by Paul Hull, who will take the business management of the paper. N. A. Morford will still be the editor.
 The Herald was incorporated last January by N. A. Morford- c. S. Scott and James McMil1an. It was under stood then that it's financial affairs were not in good condition and it was afterwards known that they were not mending. The debts were said to amount to about $12,0O0 The Mergen- thaler Linotype company had a claim of $2,500 and was pressing it. There were various other claims whose hold CTS were more or less insistent
 Since the negotiation with MT. Helm began there have been frequent rtTnors of foreclosure proceedings and it was announced early last week that a change of some kind materially af- fecting the Herald would certainly oc- cur before Saturday night. Yesterday afternoon there was great activity about the Valley bank among those interested in one way or anotfnar or about to become interested in the

and his ci1thes on the receding shore, it is Funston who appals the enemy by the sheer recklessness of his courage and sends them scattering to the bush, where they can take more leisurely aim.
 Does the American commander call for volunteers to scale a burning bridge and plant the American colors on the distant bank? It is Funston who is already half way across with out the formality of volunteering. Has one of Aguinaldo's twenty-odd capitals been captured and an advance guard for the forces Of occupation is required to brave the skulking sharpshooters and plant the stars and stripes in the public square? It is Funston who dashes through the ranks of the startled natives with a defiant yell. followed by his badly winded com pany. It is Funston himself whcl runs up the starry emblem on the deserted palace and waits for the band to come up.

 Hilliard's Office

New York, May 6.-The excise year of 1S9S-99 closed at midnight yester- day and in the last three days of the week Deputy Excise Commissioner Hilliard and his assistants at 1 Madi- son avenue were kept busy from 8 o'clock in the morning until o'clock at night taking n the money of saloon keepers who wanted certificates for 1899-1900 The receipts for certifi- cates for stores in Manhattan and the Bronx for the ensuing year were s4,231, ,S25,. nearly all paid in in the last week. The total receipts during the last year were $5,73S,7S0.O9. There was not such a rush of appli- ca1ts for certificates this year as last, as the taxes of many saloon keepers were paid by brewers cheeks. About 250 applicants for licenses, most of them druggists and general stora keepers, did not pay their taxes

EVICTED BY CATS,
Showing the Kind of Pussy Produced
 Around Docks of Liverpool

Assistant Engineer Allen of the
 American line steamer Waesland
 which arrived at her dock yesterday
 from Liverpool brought with him 2
 rather peculiar story, an experience
 which befeli him in that city just pre-
 vious to the sailing day of the voyage
 just completed. The incidents related | by the engineer on the voyage across
 were of such an unusual nature that
 he was forced to tell them again and again and the truth of the story is
 vouched for by all the officers of the
 vessel, including Captain Ehoff. MT. Allen has a pretty little house in Liverpool, situated about one mile from the docks, where his wife and child live On his return from the trip preceding the present one he found to his astonishment that the house had been abandoned
 My first thought, of course" said MT. Allen, was of my family, and l lost no time searching for them. My wife I found in my mothers house. where she had been living for three weeks. Her explanation for leaving our own house was singular She scLd that she had been driven out Of 1t by an army of cats. The cats of Liver pool docks are terrors. They are as big ard strong as tiger cubs. While I had my doubts, an investigation of the premises showed my wife's story to be perfectly correct They actually drove me out. When 1 opened the door of the sitting room I was con- fronted by at least fifty of them, and savageness is no name fo- the nature Of the attack they made on me.
 "Cf course I was pretty well aggra- y~1 1 1. 1,.0 in this fashion and immediately re- solved to exterminate the lot. I hurried back to the steamer to secure the necessary weapons. I guess I was pretty we'll excited when went up the side. I met MT. Fowler, the -chief officer, at the gangway.
 Bill I said. lend me your re- volver'
 Fowler sized me up and replaced the gun, wEich he had made pass for, in his pocket. He thought I in tended to commit suicide, and backed away from me as though I was a maniac
 That was only a sample of my trouble I had in my crusade against the intruding felines. Not to be de- tered, however, I bought two pistols and went for them right.

Sub sequently I found a broken pane of glass in the back kitchen window which they had entered. But you ought to have seen the condition Of the house. The beasts had torn up everything and ripped the carpet off the floor It cost me money to fix that place up again, and any amount of persuasion to induce my wife to live in it.
 "The worst of all about this is that when I reported the matter to the po- lice I was promptly arrested for cruelty to animals. Would you be- lieve it? They kept me in jail for a day until I established proof that l was not killing the animals for mere Don't talk about any more cats to me" concluded MT. Allen, making a vicious pass at the Waes lands pet tabby, which at that mo- ment ran between his legs. They hover were any good, but when it comes to breaking a mans home up, it's the last straw

The Sun will attempt to answer the above list of questions as accurately as possible, but has grave fears in so doing of blighting the fond hopes of a budding author and badly warping the foundations for a good story:
 CD Yes, there are level stretches of country here, as level as floor for many miles, but they are not covered with alkali dust. On the contrary, where irrigation systems have been put in, as is the case in the vicinity of Yuma, these ieVel stretches are cover ed with waving fields of wheat, oa<s and barley, corn, sugar cane and al falfa, big red strawberries delicious green watermeIons and juicy yellow pumpkins. It is warm but the heat is not as oppressive as in the city of New York
 (2) Yes, there are little groves of trees, near which sometimes three story brick houses are built. There are various kinds of trees in these groves, such as lemon, lime. orange. fig, apricot, almond and olive, all of which do well when properly cared for.
 (3) Yes, we have long dry spells here, sometimes extending over per- iod of several years, but everything is not dry and parched We depend wholly upon the Colorado river and for moisture during hot weather, and have never yet been
