Louise Brehany Opera.

Thursday evening the Louise Bre.
hany opera company made its appear
ance in Kingman and played to a
crowded house. The company was one
of the best that ever appeared in King
man. Miss Brehany has magnificent
voice of wide range Her rendition of
"Home, Sweet Home" showed her won.
derful vnice to perfection. Miss Mon
roe, the contralto, sings with much ex-
preston and her voice is sweet, clear
and steady. The tenor and bass could
have been improved on, but when il is
considered that they we're entertained
the uight before by the Prescott Elks
little wonder need be expressed that
their voices had jagged edges. Miss
Schmoll, the violinist, and Prof. Sau-
vleS, the pianist, enrapped the audi
ence with their performances. The per-
formers received repeated encores.
The stage was artistically decorated
and the effect was very pleasing. The
local lodge Of Elks spared no pains or
expense to give the public their
moneys worth and they succeeded
wonderfully we'll. We hope this will
not be the last of these pleasant en-
tertainments to be given under the
auspices of this order this winter.

Last Sunday evening there died at
Needles one OF those characters that
are seldom found even on the frontier
and whose early life was givcn to make
the western reserve habitable to the
white man. Among the old timers OF
Arizona he was known intimately.
Daniel O'Leary was scout, and Indian
fighter. He came to Arizona when the
lives OF white men we're unsafe and his
work as scoat and fighter went far to
bring about the conclusion of peace in
the early eos. After the Indian wars
had subsidized he settled down to peace
ful pursuits. He had many mining IN
terests and a considerable herd OF cat
tie at the time of his death. He was
gentle and kindly man and among
those who knew him his demise will be
sincerely mourned. He was about 10
years Of age at the time of his death
and was native Of Ireland. His fu
neral took place Monday in Needles

ma ntained. If the orchard is on rich and
naturally fertile soil the chances are
that the greatest need will be potash.
The phOsphoric acid in the soil will not
be exhausted as quickly as VIII the pot
ash and the necessary amount Of nitrogen
may be maintained by growing clover IN
the land. Experiments have proved that
barn yard manure is not as efficient as
commercial fertilizer in promoting growth
and bearing of fruit trees. In some exper-
iments at the New Jersey sta ion Il was
found tnat commercial fertilizers were
much cheaper for peach trees than barn
yard manure. Prof voorhees, recommends
for apple trees mixture Of 100 pounds
each of ground bone, acid phosphate AMI
rauriate OF potash to be applied early in the
spring al the rate OF 100 pounds Of the

potash and pnusphoric acid. The nitro

of the trees could get at it.
Peach trees being shorter lived than APP
pie or pear trees, should be treated with
a fertilizer somewhat different in its con-
position For this purpose nitrogen SHOULD
be added. as it is from nitrogen that leaf
growth comes TO a large extent.
In any case no growing crop should be
allowed to stand in the orchard during all
the season, as the roots of the crop use the
plant food that should be left for the use
OF the trees. and the moisture in the soil Is
all needed by the growing trees. Where
clover is grown 1t should be plowed TN

Experiments have shown that CONNER
