WINTER IN ARIZONA
Sunshine for Those Who Want It;
 Snow and Ice for Others.

In this little valley there is seldom a thought of anything but balmy wealth CT, even in the winter time. It should be remembered, though. that Arizona. is a great country and while it has become famous for sunshiny days in December and January it carries the largest stock of climate the year round to be found anywhere. All kinds of weather can be had by applying at the right counter, and the various depart ments are as close together as prac- ticable. California can boast of equal ly as much climate, but it is scattered out more. From San Diego to Lake Tahoe is a good, long trip, but from the orange groves of this valley to the mountains of northern Arizona is only a few hours ride.
 The following story from the Will jams News. therefore, may be interest," ing reading tor dozens of Phoenix boys and girls who never saw snow or ice either except that made in the factory. It will read better than a Youths Com panion story printed way back in Bos- ton, for the scene lies just behind the big hills to the north, right here in old sun kissed Arizona.
 During the past week a large num-

Der of young people have been skating at the Saginaw dam. Wednesday night a good sized crowd was out again. The ice is about two inches thick over most of the reservoir. but near the face of the dam there is about fifty feet Of open water all the way across. Tom Mad dock was skating around m the dark and he simply skated off into the open water. Amos Adams, who was near by with Harry Pyle, heard some one call for help, and while Amos was try ing to See through the darkness he skated off end was soon fioundering around in the ice cold water Pyle called to Adams, and when the latter had a secure hold on the ice edge start ed for the bank to get a board and help. In the meantime Maddock was pad ding for dear life in the freezing wa ter. He swan fully fifty feet to the face of the dam, clad in heavy cloth ing and with skates on, up which he climbed and made his way to shore. He quickly reached the ice again, and had succeeded in pulling Adams half way out when Pyle returned with Fred Baum and Pete Burns. By using coats as towlines the four quickly pulled him out. Neither of the men have suffered in consequence of their plunge, but had they been unable to swim the story might have been differ ent,"

SANDSTONE BRICKS
Something of Prescott's Latest nanu.
 featuring Industry.

The Republican not long ago alluded to the establishment and operation of the Arizona Sandstone Brick com . pany of Prescott, which has become one of the chief manufacturing institu- tions of that place. The company be- gan turning out bricks about two months ago and already the demand for them has grown so that it will take three months to fill the orders now in. The technical name of the bricks is the sand and lime building bricks. 20 The first. of course, were used in the construction Of the buildings of the company whose plant is one of the finest in the United States and was erected at a cost of S5OOOO.
 The next output was used in the construction of the new buildings at Whipple barracks, the bricks having been approved by the government. The new residence of Mrs. William Christy on North Fourth avenue, of this city, is faced with the bricks. They are also being used in the new Sisters school now being erected in Prescott at d cost of S50,000 and also in the Raible busi ness block of Prescitt which Messrs. Fifield and Gallagher of this city are building. They have also been used for the retaining wall in the remodel ing of the Prescott high school. The company is now engaged in filling a large order for the United Verde Cop per company of Jerome.
 Before going into the enterprise the gentlemen who compose the company satisfied themselves regarding several things: that the system known as the Huennekes system was the best known; that the bricks would stand every test to which as building ma terial they might be submitted; that they would meet the requirements of the government which are always rigid; that as facing brick they are equal to the best made. The bricks can be made in many colors and of many different sizes. In all respects they are equal to stone and in some respects they are superior. They are also much cheaper. It may be said of them that they are beautiful, econom- ical and indestructible. The capacity of the plant is about 10000 a day.
 The officers of the company are: President, F. G. Brecht; vice president Morris Goldwater; secretary and treasurer. l.. B. Larimer; superinten- dent, George Beach.

A BAFFLER OF DISEASE
Wants to be Put in Communication With Prominent Phoenix Invalids.

There is a specialist at a place called Norman. Okla. who is endeavoring to place himself before the Phoenix pub lie. Few people, comparatively, have ever heard of Norman; whatever fame it enjoys rests upon the fame of Pro lessor L. H. Marble the specialist. Pro lessor Marble is not afraid to ask for what he wants. He recently caused to be sent to this town q lot of circulars which are not in them selves high grade specimens of the topographic art. He modestly re- qbested the postmaster to tack" one of them up in the postoffice so that the populace could see it. The first line is calculated to enlist attention "Ho! the Great Specialist" He is said to be a graduate of four schools in occult" sciences ard is prepared to treat all diseases of the human family. A horse doctor could do that if the human family would let him, but Pro- lessor Marble goes further and guar antees a cure. Those who are ailinS are warned that they should loose no time. The Professor cures all weak nervous diseases, young or old people who would posses energetic minds, daring dispositions and warm temperaments should not fail to con suit Doctor L. H. Marble, the eminent master specialist. He has made a spe- cialty of all nervous diseases and is more familiar with them than any other living man."
 Tn his quadruple course in the "ocult' colleges the veil of the mystery of orthography was never lifted for him. Accompanying the request for the postmaster to bill him in the post office was the following letter

Postmaster Sir pleas send me the names of Some of the most promont invlleds in your town I hear it is a great resort for people of lungs & stomach Trobles x catarah. l make theses deases a spesiality they can write me here or send me the names of them X I will send them a booklet telling them all about my Stile of treatment.
 "PRF (evidently professoD L. 1T. Marble"
 The postmaster with a culpable dis regard for the ills of humanity has neglected to tack up one of the post CTS, neither has he forwarded to Pro lessor Marble the names of any of the 'promont invileds" with which this town is supposed to abound.
 The only excuses the postmaster has to offer for not 'tacking" up the cir cular is an exceedingly lame and pueriie one. and calls for a reopening of the

THE SOUTHERN CARNIVAL CO.
Manager Leavitt Arranging for Its
 Reappearance in Phoenix.

H. L. LeaVitt, manager of the South ern Carnival company, which spent week here a year ago under the aus pices of the Eagles, arrived in town yesterday morning. The object of the coming of MT. Leavitt is to make ar engagements for the reappearance of the company here next spring, probably in April. The arrangements will be made with some local organization or with some charitable institution.
 The company Is now in winter quar- ters at Albuquerque. and the time is being put in in a rebuilding of the show. It is the practice of the com pany to renew it's attractions every year, not all of them, but to add new ones. This year one of the free attrac- tions will be looping the loop There will be other new free show features.
 Nat Reiss, the proprietor of the com pany. will arrive at Albuquerque about the first of January to direct the re- building.
 Mir Leavitt apprehends little diff Culty in arranging for reappearance here. The show went away the last time with the good will of the people. though the week had been marred by bad weather. MT. Leavitt said last night that the company had that kind of weather for sixteen weeks after leaving Phoenix. In April in. this part of the country the weather is almost certain to be decent.
 The big lion, Wallace, will not be here. He was killed by his keeper in an Indiana town. The big brute was struck on the head with an iron bar and the blow was little harder than the keeper intended that it should be.
 The company has secured other lions, and they are now being broken in in the east.

ILLINOIS CROP BULLETIN
Digest of the Crop Bulletin for the
State of Illinois for the Week
Ending May is.

Springfield, H., May 21.--The fol-
lowing crop bulletin for Illinois for
the week ending May IS is issued by
the Illinois section director of the
weather bureau, United States de-
partment of agriculture:
Except in portions of the central
and southern districts, where the
rainfall was sufficient to supply the
need Of vegetation, rain is required.
Wheat in the central district has
improved under the influence Of
warm weather and much-needed rain,
but the average condition is still only
fair In the southern district dete-
rioratiOn continues.
Oats are very uneven. Where the
crop is not actually suffering for
rain, it is making slow growth. Con-
siderable progress has been made in
preparation for corn, Grasses need
rain,
Early conjecture with regard to in
Jury to fruit is giving way to definite
information, and prospects become
more assuring with the Advancement
Of the season. Where serious injury
occurred it WAS confined mostly to
the southern district.

|IAE RED CROSS STRIKE.
Miss Clara Barton Makes Her First
Formal Reference to the
Recent Troubles.
TELLS WHY SHE HAS REMAINED SILENT.
Also Tells of IA New Plan for the E~-
pnrtment in Every City, Corpora
hon, MIL and other Places
where Need May Arise.

New York, May 21.-For the first
time since the strike began in the
Red Gross, Miss Clara Barton, in a
formal statement, has made reference
tothe controversy, and has announced
plan to widen the scope of the So
cietys work. She says first;
During the entire period of the
present differences among sections of
the members of the American Nation
al Red Cross, | have never once felt
that it was the desire of the American
people that | should personally enter
within the circle of disturbance, and
| have consequently remained a silent
and sorrowful spectator of a cOntrO-
versy that appeared to me to be
leading where no true friend of the
Red Cross would care to follow"
Referring to allegations concerning
expenditures, Miss Barton says; II
have administered with a free but
careful hand the benefactions Of
whatever nature have been intrusted
10 me, and as freely | nave gwen or
all that | possessed of strength,
health and private means"
The new plan is the establishment
of the first aid department There
will be two branches of this work An
emergency case containing material
and surgical dressings has been de.
vised,with emergency charts arranged
for instant reference, giving simple
directions for dealing with every con-
ceiyable case Of accident pending the
arrival Of the doctor An organi2s-
ton has been created for introducing
these cases into corporations, mill
and other light employers Of labor,
schools ana private houses.
The other branch provides for the
formation Of first aid emergency
classes in every city, and ambulance
corps among employees Of mills, fac
tories, railroads and other corpora
tons and police and public employees.
These will be instructed and drilled in
first aid methods.
