 APROPOS. The following from an Fl Paso paper applies nicely to Phoe- nix as well: Tt is not ltoo soon now to begin fixing up the streets for the mid winter carnival time. All the low places should be filled in, gravel cross ings should be made across every street all over the city, the gutters cleaned, and preparations made for a stormy week. It may be hopsd, of course, that the weather during the week of the carnival will be bright and clear, but at that time of year there is always possibility of a storm, and Hne streets should be put in such good condition

 ORANGE CULTURE IN MESA. - In the fruit raising districts of this | valley lhe people of no section have ! been more successful than residents of Mesa City and vicinity. Mesa grapes, | apricots, peaches and pears won. fame i in an early day, and latsr when orange culture was taken up it was found that | the soil and climate of Mesa were well ! adapted for the raising of citrus fruits. There are fewer orange groves in that locality than on this side the l river that have reached the bearing ! age, but in every instance where proper care has been given to the orchards the fruit growers have been emin5ntly sue cessful. The Mesa fruit is considered | by many to be fully equal, if not su- parf0r. to that of tEe rest of the valley.

Chris was having his hair cut and the clipper had been run over his body. Nothing re- mained to be done but clip the head. Chris was always very careful of his head and at the first touch of ths clip pers he threw his head aside so violent ly that he threw himself down, broke his neck and died instantly.
