THE GOLF PLAYERS.-Yesterd
WIS busy day on the golf links at,
the Country club, and all day the play
ers were busy. Only a comparatively
small number of the members are good
players, but the beginners are rapidly
developing talent, and many of them
give promise of fine playing. Another
tournament will be held next Saturday,
and 1t Is likely that a tourney will be
held each week. There, are dozens of
players who aspire to the championship
of the club and some exceedingly in
tcresting contests are promised. Mr.
Hugh Creighton won the local golf
championship last season, with Mr.. IL.
l. Latham a close second. Both these
gentlemen are playing this year.
WAS AN IDEAL DAY.-During the
past two months of unbroken fine
weather there has not been a day that
was equal to yesterday. During mid
day the mercury climbed higher thar
for several days past, and at noon
shirt waists and straw hats would
have been in order. All day the temp
erature remained at q comfortable al"
titude. and even in this land of almost
perpetual sunshine yesterday was a
notable occasion. The services at the
churches drew out very large congrega"
tons, the largest of the season, and in
the afternoon every rig and automo-
bile was in use. The fine condition of
the roads drew many people into the
country and the Tempe road and the
north drive were crowded, the demand
draining every livery stable.
EUCALYPTUS OR GUM TREES
This most inter- sting OF forest and
garden trees is so little known to the
people of the great Southwest that
they can hardly realize that there are
over 100 varieties of eucalyptus known
and grown today. These trees are the
great forest trees of Australia and at.
tain the greatest height of any known
tree, six hundred feet being the esti'
mated maximum height. Many parts
Of Australia are not unlike the Salt
River valley and enc variety "Euca-
lyptus Rostrata," is particularly re-
commended to- withstand heat or cold,
and has been successfully grown here:
the Eucalyptus Viminaliis" can also
be grown here successfully. The peo-
pie of this valley should not be content
with willow and cottonwood, when
trees of such value as the eucalyptus
can be easily grown.
MUST HAVE STARTED ON FRI
DAY Doctor W. c. Robbins recently
from a trip to California
which was fraught with trouble from
start to finish. Arriving at Maricopa
he and VIM. Barrett, a well known
man, who was travelling In
the same direction, went to bed leaving
orders to be called for their train. They |
awoke about 9 o'clock in the morning, |
long after train time, and supposed of
course they had oversight and missed !!
their train. They dressed and went
down to the hotel office and abused the |
clerk for a while. after which they |
were told that their train was late and |
would not arrive for an hour yet. Then |
they apologized. No sooner had they |
got nicely seated on the westbound |
train than a couple of gentlemen sit |
ting opposite began to abuse Arizona, |
saying they would not be found dead |
In such country. The doctor and Mr.. |
Barrett introduced themselves to the |
strangers and proceeded to defend the |
on every point, an occupation |
hey kept up till they had crossed the |
