Will Raise Chickens.

Prof. l. V. McAferty, the well known orchestra and band man of thi. city, has started in the chicken busi ness. He has secured a place about four miles north west of Prescott and will endeavor to build up the business to paying baiss. He has had consid erable experience in the business and believes he can make a success. He now has between 300 and 400 eggs matching in incubators, and has built large brooder in the side of the mountain among the rocks where the little chickens can be sheltered from the cold. He also has a few acres of land on which he expects to raise sufficient grain and green feed to feed his fowls. There is one thing that he need never fear and that is that he will over stock the market, as there is market for tons of poultry and carloads of eggs in Prescott.

AbOnt Big Headlines.

Nearly all the professors who took part in a symposium on 'The Ideal Newspaper, at Macon, Mo, recent ly, took the big headline to task, says the Globe-Democrat. Now, a big head line is not an offense ot itself, it is only a big headline over little fact that is objectionable. When there is a Galveston flood, or an Iroquois fire, it is worth a shout, from the stand point of correct newspaper usage. The publisher has a right to declare Tn blackeT and larger type that his news is of unusual importance; it is a yell to attract attention, nothing more, nothing less; but to yell with the same degree of vocal power over the eloquence of kicthen maid as the burning of theater is a false pre- tense; it is not only cheating, but it is ludicrous.
 The news of one day is not equally as important as the news of every other day. Black letters, four inches in length, soon lose all the weight of their impression if applied to every item indiscriminately. A peddler who bawls all the time, in a voice that seems to threaten the rupture of his jugular veIn, gets no more attention when he really has a bargain for sale than when he has none. There is no emphasis, for it is all emphasis. The perpetually fortissimo newspaper exhausts all its resources of startling the public.
 But there are times when the big headline is necessary, proper and effective. The Macon professors would not give the proper considera- tion to news that was weakly head lined. Headlines are the index of contents of a newspaper to be glanced at hurriedly. The large ones the reader sees first, because they are over the most important news, where they ought to be.

Representative Overstreet of Indiana has offered a bill, and expects to have it favorably reported from the house committee on interstate commerce, providing that all of the interstate commerce laws shall apply to private ly owned freight cars and private pas senger cars. The language of the bill makes it mandatory under the usual penalties fo: companies or individuals or corporations to report to the inter- state commerce commission upon mileage and all other matters required from interstate carriers, just as the regular railway companies report. The bill, as drawn, will apply to large manufacturing concerns, such as breweries, steel companies, coal com panies and furniture manufacturers, owning a line of private cars. The bill will also apply to the private cars of millionaires and officials, hitherto regarded by them as personal prop erty.

NEW INDUSTRY
 FOR TERRITORY
Condensed Milk Fac
 tory at Tempe.
Equipped With All the Latest Ma. Chihery and Has Capacity
 to Supply Arizona.

H. P. Anewalt returned this morn ing from his weekly visit to Phenix. He brought with him a sample can of Mission evaporated cream from the new condensed milk factory recently established at Tempe, by F. B. Hough.
 A can of evaporated cream, in it. self, is not very important article, but MT. Anewalt takes considerable pride in this particular can and at taches great importance to it inasmuch as it represents a new and important industry for Arizona.
 MT. Hough, who is the prime mover and owner of this new enterprise has been engaged in the creamery busi ness for several years at Tempe and has won an enviable reputation for the product of his creamery in the shape of butter and cheese.
 Seeing an opportunity for establish ing condensed milk factory be has abandoned the butter and cheese bus iness and is now devoting all of his energy and experience in the manu- facture of evaporated milk and cream and hopes to earn as good reputa tion in this line as he has in his former business.
 His factory is equipped with the very latest machinery and he proposes to produce as good an article of con- densed cream or milk as can be found in the United States. Among the or ders he has recently received for his product is car load in Prescott and another one in Flagstaff. Loyal Ari- zonans who use this article should give the Mission brand a trial, and if found equal to other brands, should use it right along and thus encourage and help an Arizona industry, as whatever helps one section helps the entire territory.
 The approximate consumption of condensed milk and cream in the ter ritory is fifteen car loads per month, and the capacity of Mir. Hough's plant is just fifteen car loads per month. 90 that if he could get the entire trade of the territory he could practically supply the trade.
 He scarcely hopes to do this, how ever, and is reaching out for trade outside of the territory and has al ready received orders from outside points. The railroads are giving him all the aid possible, as they have made rate to him for outside points in the territory the same as is enjoyed by California factories, while of course certain points within the territory receive much better rates.
 This new enterprise is only one of the evidences of the advancement of the territory, and as such, is one in which all can take interest. When ever possible MT. Hough secures all his supplies from the territory. His boxes are purchased at Flagstaff, and other supplies are also purchased in the territory and the money derived from the sale of the product is circu- lated within the territory.
 Since the factory has been started the price of milk has advanced in the Salt river valley from ten to twenty per cent so that the farmers are bene- fitted by it, and it is an industry in which every citizen of tthe territory should take an interest.

 There is every reason why women should not trust their delicate constitu- tiOns in the hands of unskilled persons. It requires thorough medical education to appreciate and understand the wom- anly organism. When q woman has ills and pains that she cannot bear-when life seems dark for any woman, she should con6de her troubles to a physi- clan of standing in the community, or one who has national reputation. Ger tainly it would not be the part of wisdom to confde in an ignorant person without medical education simply because she was q Eg'0NGS. There is every reason why she should write to some great specialist, one who has made the dis eases of women speciality for third of a century, like Dr. R. V. Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. All cor respondence is held sacredly conhden- tial, and he gives his advice free and without charge.

Three years ago Senator Beveridge travelled all through Manchuria, Si- beria and Russia. Being interviewed by our Washintgon correspondent he says: "The Russian has immense staying qualities. He can live on a small amount of plain food. He can endure enough exposure and hardship to kill most men for he has a deep chest, broad shoulders and stout legs, and appears to be almost without nerves. He believes in the future des- tiny of his country as the one desig- mated by the Almighty for tLe re- demption of the world. Like the Boer he prays and sings as he fights, and, being a fatalist is as formidable as Crowmell's trooper. And there are millions of him. Can Japan stand up for any great length of time against such an antagonist? l think not. {" Yet Russia complains that we are hos tile.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat sug. gests that the famous gunboat Glou- cester should be stationed at St. Louis during the Fair, and the idea receives a hearty welcome in that city. When the Spanish fleet came out of Santiago harbor the saucy little Gloucester, under Lieut.. Wainwright, was headed instantly and directly toward the armored Spanish ships and opened a telling fire at close range. Nothing in the battle surprised the Spaniards more than the daring shown by the little ship whose tonnage is less than 500. Her prompt attack, under the circumstances, is one of the notable incidents of American naval history. The Gloucester will be an object of general interest during the Fair if anchored in the Mississippi at St. Louis.

Value of a Newspaper.

Have you ever stopped to think ol the value of newspaper to com munity? Whiting Allen, who is wide ly known as the press agent of cir. cuses and who once was an Ohio news paper man, has some interesting obser. vations to offer along this line. He says: "Fair weather or foul, the news paper in coming out every day is de- voted to the welfare of the commun- ity and its people. No matter how the community responds with support, much or little, so long as that news paper is issued it is unflagging in its zeal for the betterment of it's environ ment. It is always quick to grasp and make available every opportunity that will benefit the town and its peo- pie. As visitor to nearly every daily and weekly newspaper office in the United States during the past quarter ot century, it has been my observa- tion that the columns of the average newspaper are a certain index to the community and especially to its char acter. It is a somewhat singular thing to me that in view of the manifest fact that the heaviest advertisers in all towns are the most prosperous, there is not a greater ambition among business men to become the heaviest advertisers. But, aside from sdver- Using, I still maintain that every man, woman and child owes to the newspaper of town or city a greater debt than is ever paid. ."-Michigan Mining Gazette.
