 4 BAKER'S DOZEN.-Mr. W. D. Fulwiler, vice president of the Valley Bank. received yesterday from the Homeside grove of MT. George H. Clayson a record breaking cluster Of pomelos or grape fruit. On a stem only about a half inch in diameter and ex- tending on both sides of the stem were clustered thirteen of the fruit. regular in size and perfect in development. The bunch weighed fourteen pounds. Another cluster from the same grove was taken to the board of trade room some time ago with fifteen of the fruit on one stem, SO fl is evident that this is not an abnormal growth or unusual.

 ROADMAKERS DELEGATION.- Governor Brodie yesterday afternoon appointed a. delegation of professional roadmakers to the National Road makers convention to be held at Hart ford, Conn, on Feb. 1C-11 They are Frank r. Trott. C. E., cf Phoenix; Hon w s. Sturges of Pima county: Col. Lyman S. Bridges cf Tucson; Hon. John H. Page Of Grand View and Captain C. E. Perkins of Nogales. None of these gentlemen have yet sig niffed their acceptance of the appoint ment and perhaps they have not yet been notified that the honor has been thrust upon them. If there are any ether persons in the territory who would like to attend the convention no doubt the governor can fix it so that they can get in.
 A QUtlLlNG BEE.-There will be a "quilling' matinee at the exhibition yards Of the Ostrich Farm. near the west end of the street car line. this afternoon between the hours of 2 and 4 o'clock. The quills taken will be giv- Cr rn ryr vricf ftt,.. .1 sire them for souvenirs. That the req der may understand just what this performance means it is explained that when the feathers are taken from the. birds the process is called plucking. though in reality it is clipping rather than plucking for most of the large feathers are cut off instead cf being pulled out, leaving the quills Of the feather in the bird. Tn the course of time these quills ripen or rather die as would a shrub with it's top cut off at the wrong season Of the year. They arc then removed as soon as ready tc per nit the early growth Of another crcp cf feathers. They would probably all drop out eventually. but the duilling is scientifically done and hastens matters. if the feathers were rapidly plucked In the first place the treatment would 2cerate the wings of the bird and possibly interfere materially with the growth or new feathers, at the same ime being e rather cruel treatment of the ostrichos. By cutting the feath- PTS and allowing the Quills to dry here is little if any pain for the birds and the wings are l1ft in a condition more encouraging to the growth of | new feathers
