MIR. MURPHYs ANSWER.

MT. Murphy accepts with much de-
 light, Mr. Edwards invitation for Friday
 night. You will pardon he is sure if he feels
 some doubt As to what may happen before the
 evening is out; While Emmert's experience is doubt
 less extended And all of his habits and tastes well
 blended, His friends will be surprised if he is
 found able To hold his own at the green table; But he is a jolly good fellow, one of
 the best in the bunch, And will make a great showing when
 1t comes to the lunch. When it comes to the punch, that
 different; Emmert may fail; Not that he will take too much-not
 at all, But going to Detroit. where to drink
 is a sin, He may think it best not to begin. May IT, 1905.

the moist eastern part of the state as do some others, but in the dry mid dle and western parts of the state it surpasses all. The station has hopes that it will acquit itself more credibly another season. The variety is a wig orous but not q rank grower, the straw short, the leaves exceptionally broad for an Oat. The berries are light vel low in color small but numerous, and have a very thin hull. The variety us ually weighs we'll per bushel and ma lures very early. It is very resistant to rust.
 The Sixty-day oat this year did slightly better than the Kherson. Here in Arizona experience tallies with Nebraska experience, it being found that this variety does perhaps better than the KhersOn in the moister east ern parts of that state.
 The experiment farm is just harvest ing experiment plants of three varie- ties of Durum wheat known also as macaroni wheat, which are giving very satisfactory results. The yield is good and the varieties are hardly affected by rust, although common wheat grown nearby was badly rusted. These Durum wheats are peculiarly adapted to droughty conditions and it is hoped

GRAINS ADAPTED TO ARIZONA
Result of Tests Made by Supt. Clark
 of Experiment Farm.

This last season [, e experiment sta ton has been enfeavOring to find a variety of oats V hich will grow sat- isfactorily in southern Arizona, and which will have a higher market val ue than the Te gas Red, which is prac- tically the onl,f oat grown hereabouts. FoI this purpose the station has tried two varieties from semi-arid Russia, one the Kherson, on which most de- pendence was placed, has hardly come up to expectations. but it is quite pos
 sibly due to the exceptional wetness of the past winter. In Nebraska, where this variety has been grown for several years, it does not do so well in

Paradise mining camp is looming up big and great things may be expected of it. The boast which is being made by residents and miners in that dis trict that Paradise is to be a second Bisbee bids fair to be made good. The Savage Gold and Copper company is making preparations to install a smelt- ing plant and it is understood that the Chiricahua Development company has struck the kind and quality of ore it has been looking for. A railroad from Rodeo to Paradise is to connect the two camps with the outside world. It has been known for some time that a road was contemplated from either he Southwestern to the camp or from San Simon station on the Southern Pacific. but there is good authority for stating that both lines will be built It is to be constructed by private indi- viduals and Douglas mining men are interested in the road.

Young has sacked eight | tons of it which will be sent to the shelter at Fl Paso.

A RythmiC Farewell to Mir.
 Emmert
A Stag Party on Friday Night InVOlv- ing Much New Made Classic Litera- ture and Fun.

More fun and enjoyment was never crowded into an equal period of time than that which marked stag party at Prescott last Friday night in honor of Mr. J. H. Emmert, who will leave about June l for Detroit. The func- ton was attended by most of the gen. tlnmen of Prescott and vicinity promi- nent in business. professional, military and social circles.
 The subjoined matter explains how the evening was spent. There was a consolation prize which went to Dr. Sawyer. a handsome Sevres jardi- niere. There was another guest who needed consolation. He was MT. F. l.. Wright. His prize was a house with out a lot. The building was of a simple but graceful architectural de- sign.
 The rooms at 315 Gurley street, where the party was given, were elab- orately decorated and among the dec orations were mementoes of the prin- ciDaI quest.
 The party was promoted by MT. A. W. Edwards who sent out the invita- tions in rhyme and the gentlemen who received them responded in kind. They have been passed upon by the literary editor Of The Republican who says that It Is possible perhaps to write worse poetry. though he says he has never seen 1t done and in his opinion it would require the exercise of a diabohcaI ingenuity to do it. The legal editor of The Republican has also passed upon it. He does not believe that an indictment would lie against the gentlemen who have con spIred and collaborated in this con coction since they evidently did not intend 1t for publication. There can be no crime without criminal intent. l The subsequent verses appear to have 1 been perpetrated without malice or | forethought.
 John C. Herndon was elected poet ] laureate of the occasion not on the l ground that his poetry was superior l but because it was judged to have | been a little less bad than the rest, and because of his valuable suggestions to others of the gentlemen regarding their verses. He was of especial ser vice to Mayor Goldwater in searching out elusive rhymes, Here 1t all is:
