Arizona At Last Has One Rai1eSs Week
 Thus Far
Director JeSufnoSky's Report On Weather
 Conditions

Section Director Jesufnosky has is- sued the following weather report for the week ending June 5.
 This was the first rainless week ex- perieneed in Arizona since December last. Cloudy and threatening wealth CT prevailed in the northern and cen tral sections during Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In the southern eoun- ties the skies were clear to cloudless. Temperatures ranged near the normal values in the southern and central sec tions; a deficiency of 2 degrees to degrees was reported from the northern throughout north to east directions prevailing in the northern half, and south to southwest directions in the southern half of the Territory.
 Rapid progress was made in blow ing, planting, and cultivation in the northern counties, where early sown grass is doing finely. The nights were much too cool, with occasional light frost, checking the growth of garden truck and fruit over that sec tion. The grain harvest is about fin ished over the extreme southern counties, and is still being pursued en- ergetieally in the central counties. The quantity and quality have not been surpassed. What and barley have be- gun to head in some of the northern counties. Cut worms have injured corn to some extent. A few field of alfalfa are being cut for the second time.
 Water is being used more generally than at the preceding report. excepting the southern sections. The repairs to the canals and dams in the central sections are nearly completed. There is a plentiful supply of water, and largely increased service is being maintained. Progress in the Agua Fria canal is unavoidably slow.
 Tree fruit has deteriorated slightly since the last report. Peaches, pears and apples are dropping; pomegran- ates setting heavily; aprieots and figs in abundance; young oranges look thrifty.
 Vegetables of many varieties are growing well. Cantaloupes, waterme- Ions and cueumbers have appeared upon the market. Tomatoes are ripen- ing. The sales f snap beans and new white potatoes are unusually large.
 The condition of meadows, pastures and ranges has not changed material ", excepting over the northern sec tions, where grass shows a decided i'm provement. There is an abundance of stock water. Cattle generally are in prime condition.
 Yavapai County.
 Gilbert-Crops doing well; ground in fine condition; plenty of water for ir- rigation purposes; range good; range stock very fat; light shower occurred on 2nd of month.-W. T. Gilbert.
 Walnut Grove-Weather favorable: first crop of alfalfa being cut with good yield; fruit trees breaking down with heavy crop of fruit; garden truck of all kinds plentiful.-J. O. Car ter.

A few years ago Il black woman in
Natal was charged with drunkenness.
With a surprising grasp Of the law
however, she pleaded guilty, but urged
that the bench had no power to deal
with the charge, as she was on private
property. Somewhat chagrined, the
police withdrew the charge, but taxed
her with being in possession of a guam
tity of liquor. The delinquent in the
dock again admitted the charge, but
In, triumphant tones pointed out that
the said liquor was contained within
her skin and that such a method of
conveyance or possession was not an
offense within the meaning Of the act.
After such a subtle defense the lady
Of much legal learning deserved to es-
cape, but the prosecutor. with a weary

last drops slowly dribbled out, and a
conviction followed. - Dundee Adver-

Laundry Marks.

The numbers or letters used by Amer
lean laundries to distinguish their pa
irons garments are disfiguring enough,
but we are fortunate in that the col
lars and cuffs do not come back from
the wash tagged with the business card
of the laundry.
In certain parts of France the name
and address of the laundry are stamp
ed on each piece sent home, and should
several laundrles be patrOnized, one
after the other, a fine collection will

cal marks indicative of the owner of
the garment.
In Russian towns laundry marks are
under police supervision, and in this
manner Il refugee who makes his way
to another town upon a forged pass
port is liable to detection unless he can
borrow linen with the mark of one
of the town laundries upon it,

Marking Books.

Every now and then you will find in
some periodical an item relating to the
subject of book in which you are in
terested. 1t is a good plan to enter on
the fyleaf a reference to this passage,
so that you may find 1t again when
needed. Such notes neatly written in
pencil do no harm and will often save
you much time. You may in the same
way make notes of the numbers Of
pages in which you have been specially
interested. A correspondent writes to
US asking whether we recommend
marking books" To this extent we
certainly do, provided the book is not
so fine an edition that 1t should be kept
as spotless as can be. Besides, very
light pencil notes can be removed in
moment without harm TO any page.
But the marking of books that extends
to distiguring them will never be done
by any one who realizes how long a
good book may continue TO delight new
readers and to bring them help in right

A Mountain
Girls RuSe
Copyright, 1906, by Frank H. Sweet
BY FRANK H. SWEET

The last rays Of the sun softened the
girls red hair into golden halo as she
sat upon the log, her bare feet show
ing beneath the hem Of her cheap print
skirt. On the log beside her was
sunbonnet and pressing against the
sunbonuet was the helve of an ax, such
as only a very strong man was accus-
toned to WELD.
The girl was evidently resting after
a day of hard labor. for deep around
her were scattered the still odorous
pine chips, and on the other side of the
log rose a huge pile Of wood, cut into
two foot chunks to fit the regulation
fireplace Of the mountain log and mud
cabin.
A handsome, powerfully built man
had come down the mountain path,
barefoot and, as he seemed TO think,
unnoticed, for he stopped a few yards
away and regarded the girl for some
time with an air of admiring owner
