Perhaps few Of the little folk who are so fort
innate to have been in the country during ire
month OF June. where the rhOdOdendrous and wild
hOneysuckle" and mountain laurel grow would ever
think that these three and many others Ike them
cousins to the Scotch and English heather. OF
which oversee stories so often speak. and which
IS seldom seen in this country outside % florists
shops. But this is the fact. nevertheless ami.
while English heather has been made immortal
the world around. many an American does not even
know laurel when he sees it
In England these American shrubs are carefully
cultivated on the large estates. and several pr
waite parks are thrown open to the public at the

Judge Kibbey Succeeds Judge
 Wells.

Judge E. w. Wells has resigned as attorney general of Arizona. Gov. Brodie has named Judge Joseph H. Kibbey as successor to Judge Wells. Judge Kibbey's appointment will give universal satisfaction. Judge Wells has large personal interests which demand his attention at this time.-Arizona Gazette.
 The recent irrigation congress at Fl Paso passed a resolution urging the repeal of the desert land law, the timber and stone act and the communication clause of the homestead act, and a sub stltute is offered in the sale of stunpage. As a substitute for the desert land law, it is desired to permit individuals as actual settlers to enter only 16O acres. Resolutions were also adopted opposing all issue of land script; urging government purchase of all lands in the limits of forest reserves; favoring non-interest- bearing loans by the government to the irrigation fund to be used by the Secretary of the Interior, and repaid under the provisions of the irrigation law; urging a law permitting states to organ ize districts to sell irrigation lands, and upon the approval of the interior department to be allowed to employ the engineers of the reclamation service; urg. ing that the remaining public domain should be reserved to home-seekers; urging the appro- priation of funds for forest plant ing on denuded water sheds, with the view of increasing the value of streams still flowing and re- newing those which have disap- peared; urging consolidation of allforestry work in the depart ment oi agriculture.

The home outfit has been given orders to have full supply of the dessert on tap. Ladies included in this invitation.
 For those who are short on blankets and grub, there will be ample mess arrangements at the local ranches. Sheep wagons will be givengood locations close to good bedding grounds, and there will be full supply of wranglers on hand to look after the horse rodeo As 1t is desired that every outfit on the range be represented, your failure to be on hand may cost you a few calves or lambs, as the commit tee on this occasion expects each outfit to do its own branding or ear marking Snake-bite medi- cine and wolf poison will be in adequate supply.

 { As the general happiness of all is to be in charge of the commit tee representing the local outfits, we would appreciate it if you would drop a line to the secre- tary, stating that you will be present and the number and names of those who will be With you. We want our arrange
