 ly carved Both the design ond the exe- cution of the work are marvellous.
 FOR DRESS PARADE.-The local canton, the uniformed rank of the Odd Fellows. has received a number of new uniforms for its members. The canton expects to turn out on the occasion of the visit of President Mckinley, and the new uniforms will enable the or ganization to make a much better showing than heretofore. There are a number of new members who are yet without uniforms but an effort will be made to secure them if possible before May l.
 A YOUTHFUL TRAvELER.-Rus- sell Mullln, young gentleman from Los Angeles, about six or seven years old, arrived here yesterday morning on the S. F., P. & P train on visit to his grandmother, Mrs. F. R. Bishop, who lives on North Fourth avenue. He made the journey alone and exper- fenced no difficulty. In fact he was quite a business-like sort of boy, and when he got here he hired hack. gave his grandmother's address, and travelled in as much style as though he were fifty years old and owned a rail- road. He probably will some day.
 A SMALLPOX CURE.-A California country paper is agitating the develop ment of a market in Arizona for the California cider output, based on statement made in the San Francisco Chronicle that cider has bsen proved specific for smallpox in Phoenix. In the first place, while Phoenix has had few cases of smallpox in the past. she never expects to have any more. If she does have smallpox again and wants to take the alcohol cure there is an abundant supply here of a brand that makes drunk come quicker and hurt a great deal less than California cider does.
 The members of the water commis- sion. appointed by Judge Street, have begun to file their bonds, which are in the sum of $1,OO0 each. J. T. Priest presented his to the board of supervisors with Neils Peterson and Albert Ml- Ter sureties. D. E. Heard, J. G. Peter son and w. D. Fulwiler offered bonds of the '. s. Fidelity company All. were approved. A notary bond was filed by James Gray and a butchers bond by P. T. Hurley. Edward Keene was appointed road supervisor in dis trict No. 4.
 PROBATE COURT.-In the matter of the estate of Edward P. Hayden. pe- tition for the partial distribution of which had been filed. objection was made to dispositions tending to prove the existence of an unknown heir of Hayden. The dispositions were submit. ted. subject to the objections. Other evidence for and against the contention of the objectors was presented and the whole matter was set over for May 6. The final account of Baxter McCreary, of the estate of D. A. Spragg, was filed, and set for hearing on May g. H. I. Latham presented a petition for letters of administration on the estate of Robert J. Goodwillie, a of this county but whose real estate here is value at s3,500.
 A TRANSFER OF REAL ESTATE.-I The transfer of an important real estate deal reported a week ago was yesterday by the passage of a deed from E. NJ. Doris to Fifield & Gallagher to the northwest corner of Fifth avenue and Washington street. now occupied by J. A. Marshalrs black smith shop. The purchase price was s2l,co0. The property has frontage of 200 feet on Washington street end a 1 depth of 137h feet on the avenue. The ! new owners have not yet determined | what they will do with the property, | put the price seemed so attractively low | and the promise of Phoenix so at -ractively high that they could not re- ! 'ist the temptation to get on the | ground.
 CANNOT COME.-At a 1t meet ng of J. w. Owens post, G. 4. R.. an | invitation was extended to General R. | H. G. Minty of Tucson, department | commander, to be present on the occa- sion of the presidents visit and com nand the old veterans during The exer- 'ises of the day. MT. Gilbert D. Gray las received a letter from him in which ie acknowledges hkJ appreciation of the invitation, though he is forcel to de- line the honor for the reason that, as commander of Negley post in Tucson, le has extended the presiden. an. ln- 'itatiCn to stop at Tucson long enough Q shake hands with the members uf hat post. The president has accepted lis invitation and courtesy demands hat he must remain in command of his post at that time.

But when it comes to aising oat hay, there is no place under he sun where water and soil will do nore business with oats, properly planted, than right here in this val
