 Carl Hayden has completely closed out the mercantile interests of the c. T. Hayden company and will re- sume his studies at Stanford uniyer- sity in September.

Pet CTS has leased and will operate the mill. The closing of the Hayden store marks the passing of an institution that has been with Tempe from the beginning. Tempe News.
 One A. M. White, grand organizer of the order of Eagles, created stir among the BiSbee herd by attempting to pass himself as an Elk, during his stay in Bisbee last week, says the Re view. Some of the newly made ElkS were imposed upon in this manner, but on Saturday night few old bucks tested him and found him sadly detic. tent in the secret work. He was roasted to turn" by an old member of Globe Lodge of ElkS, who discov cred the imposition. White left town next morning, presumably for Fl Paso and local lodges throughout Arizona and New Mexico have been notified to look out for him.
 Special Agent Holsinger, of the ln- terior department, has stopped the cutting of timber on Graham noun tains, and as usual in such cases, it has caused good deal of contention in the Gila valley, selfish interests being arrayed on either side. Nearly all the lumber used for building pur- poses in the Gila valley has been ta- ken from the Graham mountain, and stopping the traffic will cause an ad- vance in the price of lumber of from SS to sl0 per thousand. The Graham mountain will in all probability be set aside as a forest reserve, when the cutting of timber may be permitted under certain restrictions.

 The cattlemen are now assured of season of plenty, and the miners are happy because there is water in the creeks and rivers to run their mills. It is wonderful how soon the grass starts in Arizona when once q soaking rain comes. The desert is trans formed into a green meadow, the look refreshed and beauti- ful, the mesas grow thick with grasses and wild flowers, and the country changes its entire aspect. But how soon the drOuth robs the beauty from the scene. Yet it is the bright side that we have before us now, the way ing fields of green, the rivers running and the water holes filled to | the brim.
