THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
How it Will Be Recognized in Phoenix
 Today.

This town has got a bit out of prac- tice in the matter of Fourth of July celebrations, but it is not too old to learn and it will not have to begin Tn the kindergarten class, either. 1t Will begin today and early in the morning The youngsters, in fact, have been stir ring things up for several days. The fire department will be the storm cen ter of the doings in town, and the cnlef and his assistants are running things in a way to get the biggest possible celebration out of a modest but liberal subscription by the business men of the city.
 In the forenoon the firemen will have a number of interesting races. The first will be an exhibition run with the hose wagons for time. They will run a block, couple and get water. This will be followed by an exhibition hook and ladder run for time. A twenty-foot ladder with a man on the end of it will be raised. The supposition is that It will also be lowered again some time during the day if the man on the ladder gets tired.
 Then there will be a team run or men from the Yucatec Hose company and the Victor Hose company, each to run fifty yards to a flag, lay 15O feet or

THE TOWN OF DOUGLAS
A Phoenix Mans Opinion of Coming
 Metropolis.

Douglas, Ariz.. July 1.-(Special Cor is q lively place. far exceeding my ex- pectations. It IS situated in an ideal spot for a town of the importance that 1t gives promise of becoming within a few years. There is a great scope of level country surrounding the present town of Douglas, and between this place and Agua Prietas. Mexico. which is situated right on the line, there is three-quarters of a mile of country all in the township of Douglas belonging to the Douglas Improvement company. The people here are anxious to have Douglas made a port of entry and for this reason they have been keeping a record of the imports and exports with this object in view.
 There are some twelve or fourteen buildings now under construction in this town, the greater part of which are modern up-to-date store buildings with plate-glass fronts and are all two- story buildings. Beyond doubt the fin- est of these buildings now nearing completion Gin fact the shelving all of quarter sawed oak is being installed) is the one owned by the Copper Queen

 Harry Counselman is putting up a store building made of compressed ce- ment and sand, the stones are square o nd nd frenrnnf hain molded to shape and set in mortar after the style of laying brick. The stones are about one foot square and two feet in length.

He expects to visit Phoenix in the near future and says there is plenty of material there for making this stonc-

 Finally. after years of frultless es- forts of extermination. a secret poison has been cOncocted which gives prom ise of ridding Kansas entirely of she animals. Quantities of the poison ar. sent, upon application. 10 far1nsrS throughout the state. but the formula is withheld from the public. The Ope-- ation- of mixing the poison Is exceed ingly dangerous and is conducted Ct- der the personal supervision Of state chemists. Thus far the subtle and powerful compound has absolutely eN- terminated prairie dogs on more than quarter of a million acres. and the de- mand for the poison is taxing the states facilities for its manufacture. So potent is the mixture that a haif- gallon can of it has destroyed the in- habitants of 1.2O0 burrows. which com prised a prairie-dOg- village covering 160 acres. State officials conducted the initial experiments. Within twenty fourhours from the beginning of opera tions every prairie dog on an eighty acre tract had been killed by the poison.

PRAIRIE DOGS AND GOPHERS
Kansas Officials Have a Medicine
 for Their Certain Determination.

In view of the fact that the farmers of this valley have more or less trouble with gophers. the following from an ex- change may be interesting reading and may place the reader in communication with those who can be of service to him:
 The use of new and singularly pow erful poison is redeeming millions of valuable western acres. In Kansas alone. where the mixture has been thoroughly tested, its efficacy in exter- minating destructive rodents, which until now have been poison proof, will save over half a million dollars worth of forage crops annually. Besides that, 1t assures the safeguarding of the hor- ticultural interests of the state which have been seriously menaced.
 Hitherto prairie dogs (Cynomys ludo- vicianus) and pocket gophers Geomys bursarius) have wrecked widespread havoc in Kansas all efforts to stay their ravages having proved made quate. Arsenic. corrosive sublimate. barum carbonate, potassium cyanide, and strychnine have been persistently administered. but the hardy and pre- datory rodents have survived this CnemlC3l Ql6I. nave OCCh to suffocate the pests by forcing sul- phur fumes into the burrows, and to do it on a large scale machines were specially designed. It was also hoped to decimate the prairie-dog villages and gopher colonies by introducing conta- gious diseases. Notwithstanding all attempts, 1t was found that they were on the increase, the prairie dog rivalinS the grasshopper as a disturber of the western farmers peace of mind.
 Until a few months ago prairie dogs held dominion in sixty-eight counties in Kansas, their depredations covering an area of 2,OOO, 900 acres. Even on pas ture land where native grass meadows offer. more resistance than cultivated crops, the damage done by prairie dogs has been fifty per cent. Wheat and all falfa fields have been frequently total ly devoured by these pests. which figure in Cooper's novels somewhat more TO- rnantically as "prairie-marmots" and wish ton- wish" The total annual loss caused by the prairie dogs in Kansas has been not less than ss0,00O. Pocket gophers have been a still greater scourge In some years they have de- stroyed one tenth of the entire alfalfa crop of that state, representing loss of over $5OO,OOO. In addition they have menaced the existence of orchards and

To the east is the picture of Mckinley and to the west the picture of Lincoln. Beneath the eastern arch Is the figure of a little girl, life size and pleasingly attired. representing the United States in her infancy, while under the western arch stands the figure of as handsome a young woman as anybody ever saw done in wax, representing the country of today.
