 HONEY BY THE TON. T. C. StahI the honey man of the Tempe
 and Mesa Produce company, has just | extracted 1O5 cases of honey at his | Buckeye apiary. This is between six and seven tons, and since it comes from one of many apiaries in the val ley, it is seen that the bee industry in this region is an important one.
 ANOTHER GO AT IT. The live stock board is not convinced by it's de- feat in the case brought against P. '. Hurley for not keeping record of pur- chased and slaughtered animals as the | live stock law directs. A warrant has ! been issued against James L.

 recently acquired a charm which he thought would render him proof i against hard luck. It is worn like q medal and consists of a four-leafed clover. a set of horse shoes and a rab- bits fcot. During the five minutes i succeeding the time Mr. Mauk fast ened on the charm, he had turned over bottle of red ink. stuck a pen in his | finger, tore leaf in a ledger and ut tered anti-religiOus expressions. PASQUAL'S OUTBREAK. -Pasqual Grijalva, who is ordinarily an honest and hard working old Mexican, got drunk yesterday morning because he had nothing else to do. He started an insurrecti0n in the bosom of his own family and it grew and expanded until it included the most of his neighbJrS Pasqual had all the women in the community on the run when a mes sage was sent to the sherif's office. Deputy Slankard went down and gath cred Pasqual in.
 INFECTIOUS CATTLE. Two car loads Cf cattle will be sent to Fl Paso today. For some time these ship ments have been made now and then. while Texas cattle are being shipped
 
 it's cattle in the California markets as cheaply as can Arizona. Nor could il be accomplished if the Texas and Ari- zOna boundaries were equi-distant from California. This circumstance is i the result of government quarantine 1 laws. If a train of infectious cattle | was wrecked or in any manner the cat 1 tie escaped into non-infected regions, 1 the railroad might be held responsible l fer damages. On this account the l roads charge higher for conveying cat | tie with Texas fever.
 AN EARLY MORNING FIRE. "A fire broke cut at 3 o'clock yesterday | morning in a house occupied by s. E. | Riggen On Adams street, between ! Third and Fourth It was probably i caused by an exploding lamp. MT i Riggen had lately lighted the lamp and | Sone out of the room. When he re- l turned he found everything in the vii cinity of stand Cn which the lamp | was, in flames. AS soon as possible an alarm was turned in and local efforts were made in the meantime to hold the fire down. A hose was at last at Tached to hydrant and turned into the room. When the fire was extin- gufshed it was found that pretty much everything in the room had been de- SfTOVPd and oPnet | in the floor
 THEY HAD READ ABOUT IT. - A week ago yesterday morning The Republican published a short interview with MT. s. P. Clark, who said thar there had been complaint among the winter visitors who said that one ob- JectIon to summer residence in PhCe- nix was an inability to get a decent meal in that season. Mir Clark said that that was wrong prediction: that as good meal could be obtained hera in the summer time as anywhere else. The proprietor of a popular cafe. speaking of that interview. said yester- day that it had done him great deal Of good. On the day he appeared le said his business a dinner was in- creased just 200 per cent. The in- crease, he believes, was made up of persons who came to see if what MT. Clark said was true.
 MONEY IN HENS. -C. L. Long streth, president of the Arizcna | Pigeon, Poultry and Pet Stock asso- e1&tion, says there is a scarcity of pouI- try in the valley this season and he ! does not believe eggs will be as cheap fl as usual during the coming summer. | The poultry business in this valley has | not been conducted cn a scientific II basls- The result is that it has not | paid generally and the farmers have Ii been discouraged. So the farmers are \ directing their energy in other lines to the loss of the poultry industry. But MT. Longstreth thinks there is a good II opening for poultry fancier. He is II the recipient of many queries by per sons thinking of entering the busi-
