London dealer for $3.50, and when he

it to be stolen property. the purchaser
offered to return the lot upon being
reimbursed with the amount that he
paid for the loot After some litiga-
ton the stamps were returned to the
owner upon payment of $1,750 to the
dealer.

DINNERS TO BUSINESS MEN.
Heads of Departments Remember

Heads Of Departments Remembered
in This Way by Employers.
Twenty years ago the president OF
q big company, the owner of a big
business or iriustry, would as soon
have thought of asking his subordi
nate heads of departments to spend
the summer at his country home as
of giving them formal dinner once
or twice year. Now the formal
dinner-giving practice is so common
that it is almost taken for granted
The big corporations of the country
give annual dinners to heads Of de-
partments which cost thousands OF
dollars. Even mercantile firms, small
in comparison, are in the habit OF
meeting their chief employees around
the dining board.
There are several reasons for this
Interesting development. In the first
place, Americans are learning to en-
Joy the formal dinner, with it's elab
crate menu, it's wine and it's speeches.
Then the capitalist has come more
and more to realize how much of his
success is due to his heads of depart.
ments- Oftentimes he gives them an
interest in the concern or corporation,
and Immediately they begin to work
for the concern as we'll as the com.
pany. Anything that will bind them
closer to the employers interests is
not overlooked, and a dinner once in
a while is one of these.

MOUSE TOPPER MEETS SAD FATE.
His Lingering for zone More DRINK

tbs Lingering TOT Vic Wore OTIIN
Was Fatal.
II saw a little tragedy the other
night which would furnish a strong
argument for a Mouse Temperance
Union" said a suburbanite. eve had
been troubled by mice in our house,
and my wife got a cat. A few even
ings later 1 heard scratching noise
in the cellar, and taking puss with
me, started to investigate.
1.-THE sight presented would have
shocked temperance mouse. A bot
tie of claret had fallen over on one
side, cracking tho bottle and permit
ting most of the wine to run out on
the shelf. A dissipated young mouse
had found the bottle and had evident.
ly started in to have a regular toper's
celebration. And he succeeded.
when I appeared the mouse was
certainly the possessor of a jag %
large proportions. He stood up on his
hind legs near the broken bottle and
tlinked at me in an amiable manner,
rs If asking me to join the festivities
Then he toppled over on one side and
wagged his head from side to side,
utter which he started in to drink
more of the spilled claret. In the
meantime puss had espied the mouse
and wasn't losing any time in max.
ing after it.
1.-THE mouse saw the cat plainly
enough and had plenty of time to get
away. But he wanted one more
drink In addition l think he had
reached that state of vinous amiabll
ity where it was disposed to look
upon even cats with a friendly eye.
The instant the cat gained the shelf
she went for the mouse with dash.
Even then the mouse didn't seem to
care much. It didn't display any ter
ror until the cats jaws closed on it..
Then it gave little squeak. But it
was too late"

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

r. G. Dun s. Co.'S weekly Review
Of Trade" says: While some contrac-
ton i'll trade and industry has undoubt-
cdly taken place, it is not in proportion
to the reduction of 20 per cent. in pig
iron output or the reaction in prices
OF securities, although in normal years
these have usually proved fairly relia
bic barometcrs. Many branches OF
manufacture, however, are working full
force, with large orders still untitled
while the latest returns of the crops
are most encouraging. Finance and
labor are the disturbing clements this
year, neutralized very largely by fav,
orable commercial and agricultural con-
ditions. The net result is fairly WEI
maintained volume of trade, offset by
conservatism in carrying out protected
new undertakings and proposed extern
sions of facilities. Railway earnings
thus far available for October are e.
per cent. larger than last year and 127
per cent. above 1901.

OUR AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES

We have agricultural experiment
stations located at various places
in the territory, where they can
not do much good. For instance,
there is one 1T Phoenix in the great
Salt River valley. The station has
worked itself out of job at that
place and should be removed to
some other point in the Territory
to work out the agricultural prob
lens of other localities. There are,
in fact, very few places in the Ter
ritory where some agricultural
products can not be raised if the
people only knew just what to
plant and when to plant it.
AS an examrle: Away down in
the edge of the Harqua Halas lives
an old rancher who has raised three
crops in succession, depending
wholly upon the rainfall. The
planting was not done till late in
the sum ne1, the crops raised
being barley. There is broad ex-
panse of country from few miles
north of Phoenix to a few miles
north of Congress, which lies we'll
and the soil of which is unrivalled
in productivenees The one great
need to the whole expanse of coun-
try is moisture The rains come
late in sumner. People are afraid
to try to cultivate the land for fear
that their time will he lost. No
Government experiments have ever
been made to prove that the rails
ing of any crop is practicable. If
some of the experiment money
could be spent in determining just
what crops can be raised in this
semi arid empire of rich lands it
would make agricultural commun-
tiles out of many of the present
desert localities. 1t woald be no.
thing but fair to have division of
the expenditures of this fund any
way. Let the arid sect os lie
fairly treated.

WHY NOT BORE FOR WATER? ?

that water could not be reached be-
cause that depth did not tap flow
