We have the past to look upon for our guidance, and the man who over- loads his range in this day is talk ing the long chance that he knows how to avoid.
 Stockman: Jas. T. LaTourrette, the prominent cattleman is in the city for short stay from the range, and made this office well come call on Tuesday. He will soon return to the range to make preparations for the spring work of the range. To properly work their range 1t requires goodly force of men three months every spring and fall. The season in the locality of his range, which is in southern Yavapai county, is fine, and cattle are in excellent condi- tion. The IaTourrette's are among the most successful cattlemen in the Territory, and give strict at- tention to business in all it's de tails.

HIDES AND HORNS.

 Stockman: Frank Fogal, h e Tempe cattle rancher purchased a bunch of sixty odd head of cattle from Wolf Sachs on Tuesday of this week, and after branding and dehorning, turned them into his alfalfa pastures.
 5tockman. Cattle buyer Mccoy, of California, was in Douglas last week. In former years he bought largely from Arizona ranges, and he readily noticed the decreased number of cattle now on the ran- ges as compared with the earlier years.
 Stockman: Dr. Norton returned Wednesday from his trip to south ern Arizona, to meet with other officials, as mentioned last week. The conference was entirely suc- cessful, and Arizona remains as before, in the open ground, above the quarantine line.
 Globe Belt: ". H, Fisher, we'll known cattleman of Rye, this county, was here during the week for supplies, and was detained for several days by the storm. He said the rains had been very heavy in northern Gila county, the gov ernment guage at Pine indicating over eleven inches from January up to the time he left home. Feed on the ranges is going to be the best in fifteen years.
 Stockman. The steer tying con- test between Jim Gibson and Red Seeley, for the championship of Cochise county was duly pulled off at Don Luis before 1000 specta- tors, resulting in a second victory for Gibson. The best time was made by Seeley, being min. Y sec. Gibson's best time was 1:19. His second steer took 1:4S, and the third 1:31. Seely's second steer took 3 minutes and his third 1:20, his second steer costing him the contest.
 Stockman: John Duke, the Pres colt cattleman was in the city this week, and called at this office on Monday. Mir. Duke is member of the executive committee of the Arizona Cattle Growers Associa- ton, and is also inspector for the Prescott district, in which office he is always most attentive to his duties, regard less of the fact that at times it costs him several times the amount he receives in fees to do the work. He believes that whatever is worth doing is worth doing right, and he therefore does not stand on the matter of profit there is in the job.
 Stockman: With the present season as favorable as it is in Ari- zona for live stock, and with a reasonable assurance that 1t will be followed by a series of other good years, we can really see why the abandoned ranges are again taken up and stocked with cattle, for it means a good business proposition to do so. The range will support more cattle than is now upon it without serious results, as long as grass is any way good, but the mistake as to past years in danger

RUMORED DEATH OF ADMIRAL
ROJESTvENSKY CAUSES ALARM
PEOPLE MAY RISE
AGAINST RAIL WAYS
Says Commissioner Fifer, II the Roads
Get Too Strong--Enforcement
Of Just Laws Needed.

Washington, ID. c., May 22.-Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner Joseph
w. Fifer of Illinois, in an explanation
today before the senate committee on
interstate commerce on the work of the
committee, dwelt upon the increasing
spirit of antagonism existing between
the people and the railroads. He said
that he did not favor governmental
ownership, but declared: when the
people get the notion that the railroads
ere too strong for the commission. too
strong for the courts and 800 srrong
for the government, then will they de-
mand governmental control"
He said he was no pessimist, but he
had heard the mutterings and was
afraid that, If once aroused. the people
would take the matter into their own
hands.
He thought repose would come only
with the enactment and enforcement of
Just laws.
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Cockrell, former United States Senator
from Missouri, told the committee what.
he would vote for il he were still
member of the senate Briefly put, he
would delegate to the commission the
right and power, not to initiate rates,
but to regulate rates prepared and fixed
by the railroads. He said that the
commission should have the power to
decide whether a rate is unreasonable,
and if found so to fix a reasonable rate.
He would have this adjusted rate
continue as the legal rate until set
aside by United States courts.

A Pleasant Surprise.
(Communicat'ed.)

The people of Evening Star united in
an effort to show their appreciation
and respect to John S. Delap, who has
taught their school SO successfully the
past three years.
Last Friday forenoon when Mr.. Delap
and his scholars returned from taking
their May walk" they found the
school room decorated with flowers and
green branches and in the possession of
the householders of the district.
After Mr. Delap recovered from the
surprise sides were chosen and an in
teresting as well as amusing game of
ball was played, in which old and
young took an active part, while the
ladies arranged an elaborate dinner
After all had partaken of the many
good things and the remainder had
been cleared away, the meeting was
called to order and the school rendered
literary program. which proved very
interesting and entertaining.
The "householders" were then called
upon for remarks to which they re-
hponded cheerfully, to which they re-
sponded cheerfully, speaking in praise
OF Mr.. Delap for the success which the
school has attained while under his In
struction. A. l.. Lott In his address
said that during the three years Mr..
Delap has been the teacher at this
school he has been found neither want
ing nor out of place. He closed by pre-
senting Mr.. Delap with beautiful up
holstered rocking chair as a token of
the respect and admiration which the
children and parents have for him. Mr..
Delap, who has been township super
intendent for the past two years, is
considered as one of Osnaburg town
ships most successful teachers. and 1t
is the earnest desire of all his friends
that he be employed for another year.

| frosts the blossoms and tender young
fruits are less liable to injury on the
higher land. Cold air, being heavier
than warm, will roll off and down
from the hillside and settle in the
valleys, as water will seek the lower
levels.
Again, insects are less troublesome
on high situations. They like shelf
cred places. For these reasons, the
selection of orchard sites need to be
carefully studied and considered.
In planting orchards, the land
should be prepared by year of pre-
vious cultivation of crop of corn or
potatoes, which require thorough till
age. This puts the soil in good con-
diton for trees, so that their roots
may be able to push out readily in
all directions, and advances growth
materially the first year.
No. l is the illustration shows a
seeding tree with bud of the desired
variety inserted in August at the cross
line. The top of the tree is cut off
the following spring when the bud
grows and makes the tree.
The cross lines in tree No. 2 indi-
cate where the branches should be
pruned when the tree is planted. No.
represents the same tree at two
years of age and where it should be
pruned when planted.
The lines at the base of the trees
show the depth to which they should
be planted.
No. shows peach tree one year
old as received from the nursery, and
No. the tree properly pruned for
planting.
Grating is done by cutting off
branches and inserting scions, as IL
lustrated in No. 6. This process may
be used in grating trees at two or
more years of age las indicated by the
cross line in No. 8.
The soil should be frequently stirred
sbcut the trees to keep them growing.
When they are planted in sod and are
left to a contest with grass and weeds
for existence, many fail to grow or to
produce any fruit.

NEW INFiRMARY BUILDING
Formal Transfer from Commissioner RS
Will Soon Be Made.

The county commissioners and in
firmary directors met at the infirmary
yesterday afternoon for the purpose
OF inspecting the new building, now
practically completed, and of making
arrangements for formally turning
it over from the commissioners to
the infirmary directors. It is expect
ed that the transfer will be made al
most Immediately so that the building
may be occupied on or about June |
The building will be used principally
for the accommodation of the old
ladies who are now domiciled in the
hospital building, especially those who
by reason of age or infirmities are in.
capacitated from doing any manual
labor, but yet are in condition to help
themselves.
The extra accommodations will
greatly relieve the hospital, which at
the present time is overcrowded with
patients. The new building is of at.

ance, and is said to be constructed
upon modern and approved plans.

THE NEWS BELIEVED PROBABLE IN PARIS
Uncertainty of Whereabouts of the Russian Fleet
Gives Rise TO Much Speculation Among London
Experts .-BurIesque Advertisement.

London, May 23.-'Lost-One fleet of
warships. A reward will be paid for
information of their whereabouts. Ad-
dress Nicholas, St. Petersburg"
The above facetious advertisement
posted last night on the wall of one Of
the best known of the service clubs in
dicates the bewildered condition of the
British naval and military experts who
are well nigh driven frantic by the con-
flcting reports that continue to come
In from the far east as 10 the where
abouts and intentions of Admiral Ro-
testvensky. One report locates him in
the Pacific ocean, and the experts set
out to figure how he reached there, but
before they haev the task completed
along comes another report from an
equally credible source and it places
the Russians in the China sea- And so
the reports come and from the mass of
contradictory statements it is well nigh
impossible to deduCe anything that
would seem to be the truth Rojest-
vensky's whereabouts are mystery
and will remain so until he either en-
counters the Japanese or gets into the
track of the coasting vessels again.
Single ships, flying the Russian flag,
are reported this morning from several
locations, and there is a possibility
that the Russian commander-in-ch chief
has divided his squadron and given or
ders to his captains to make the best
of their way alone to Vladiyostok, or
possibly to some secret rendezvous In
the Pacific, and in this way deceive the
japanese admiral, who naturally would
be expected to keep his own feet intact
in order to successfully give battle to
the Russians.

PURCHASES FOR THE

ment has been created in the admin.
istration at Washington and among
its friends over the attempt to dis
tort the facts about he Panama pur-
chases. and especially in the attempt
to show that under pressure there has
been an alteration in policy. - Ever
since Secretary Taft and the Panama
commission, with the presidents ap-
proval announced their intention there
has not been the slightest change ana
all statements to the contrary have
no foundation whatever"
The statement seems to indicate
some difference of opinion between
the president and Secretary Taft re-
garding the policy of purchasing sup.
plies for the isthmian canal where
ever they can be secured at the lowest
prices.
After the policy of purchasing sup
plies either In American markets or
abroad had been announced great
pressure was exerted by the "stand
to have the matter left for
determination to congress. Speaker
Cannon was at the white house and
urged this course on the president.
There will undoubtedly be a renewal
of pressure upon the president to
either have supplies bought from
American manufacturers at increased
prices or nothing done until after the
of congress.

in floating the Russian loans from
their confidential agent at st. Peters,
burg stating that Admiral Rojestven-
sky has died from dysentery and that
Admiral Nebogatoff has assumed COM
mand of the joint fleets of Russia
N Far Eastern waters.
The report caused a semi-panic in
certain quarters but it is impossible
TO trace 1t or to determine where 1t
originated. AT the Russian embassy
the agent of the Publishers Press was
informed that while they had heard
such a rumor they had received no
advices of that character from the
home government and the secretary,
who was seen, declared that If such
a report had been received at st. Pet

lcated to the embassy without delay.
He was not inclined to believe the
lumors although he admitted that 1t
might be SO.

PLANTING TREES.
Best Results When Soil, Location and
Drainage Are Considered.

First in Importance in planting
trees is the right selection of the soil
best adapted to the kinds to be
planted. For apple, pear and plum
trees the clay or heavy loans are de-
sirable and preferable, but they will
thrive ard produce excellent fruit on
higher or sandy loans.
For grapes, shale composed of rock
that steadily disintegrates is ideal. An
abundant of potash is necessary for
fruit trees, and the clay or heavy
loan soils are generally better sup
piled with this element of plant food
than the lighter or sandy loans.
Then, too, these soils, being of a
finer formation of grains, carry more
moisture, and hence stand drought
better. The lighter or sadly soils
however, may be made to produce ex-
cellent fruit by a somewhat different
system of management, as by the fire.
