A REPORTERS
EXPERIENCE q

HEN George AIDE,
author and play
wright, came up
from the Indiana
cornfelds is years
ago to do reporting
for the old Morning
News he was given
the hardest "stunt"
on the paper for a
new man. AIDE was
about 20 years of
age at the time, just
fresh from college,
and his newspaper
expert e n c 9 was
limited to q brief
engagement with
the local daily at
Lafayette. He had
yer felt the
reportorial thrill OF
writing a head"
story, not because
he was incapable,
but for the reason,
as he explained,
that nothing had
ever occurred in

MANY FRATERNAL ORDERS.
Growth Of Such Organizations in Re
cent Years Has Been Aston
fishing.

( In the ten years from 1894 to 1904
the population Of the United States in,
creased about rs per cent. The latest
census figures do not seem to justify
the claim of SO high q rate of gain,
but the immigration since, the latest
general enumeration has been enor-
nous. The estimate given may be
slightly too liberal, but not much. says
the Cleveland Leader.
In 1894 the total membership Of the
principal fraternal organizations Of the
United States and Canada, including
many which had less than 10000 men,
bers, was about 100000. Last year
it was 8.278, 1888.
The increase Of about 3,67S, 900 was
equivalent to gain Of nearly 80 per
cent
The rate Of growth ii the member
ship of fraternal organizations was GER
tainly more than three times as great
as the rate OF increase in the popula-
ton Of the United States. It was gain
we'll distributed. .ihe increase in the
numerical strength OF some Of the
great fraternal socielles was approx
fmately as follows:

Riches Of s.old Missouri"

Former Congressman Vandiver at
Sedalia the other day produced figures
to show that the Missouri mule or the
Missouri hen or the Missouri COW or
the Missouri hog could easily in year
pay the $15, 100000 which the Louis
lana territory cost the United States.
All honor to these great Missouri prod.
ucts. But in truth the Louisiana terri.
tory did not cost the United States a
dollar. From the time we took pos
session Of the custom house receipts
at New Orleans paid the interest on
the bonds issued for the purchase and
long before the bonds became due the
revenue from land sales and other
sources in the territory was more than
sufficient to cancel them.

walnuts and Butternuts.


The city boy on q visit to the coun-
try is often puzzled in trying to dis
tinguish black walnuts and butternuts
il the green state. The leaves are
almost alike, being compound and
having variable number Of leaflets
arranged on a long stem. The butter
nut stem has from nine to II leaflets,
and the black walnut from Is to 90
The teeth on the latter are larger and
sharper than those on the butternut,
and lack the fuzzy stem, but the real
distinguishing feature is the odor; hav-
Ing once smelled the crushed leaves
Of butternut and q black walnut, q
person can never fail to know them
thereafter. st. Nicholas. -s

GREWSOME FIND.
- HUMAN HANDS Supposed to be Those of Henry
 E. Miller and Gus OEender.

Fred Christy, son of former Auditor I. N. Christy, returned to Bisbee from Mexico few days ago, having been with the party who were searching for Thomas Grindell and companions, whose disappearance seems to be surrounded by circumstances very similar to those of Prof. Henry E. Miller and Gus Olen- der, who started on an exploration trip to riburon island last January.
 From Mr. Christy's story, it seems quite probable that the Grindell party met death from hunger and thirst.
 The Human Hands.
 Mir. Christy says that after leaving IIermosillo the party outftted at Nori- ega's ranch, forty-fve miles distant, and travelled by the way of Santa Ana, reaching the coast at the point where the Grindell party discovered the hu- man hands nailed to stake, or rather the discovery was made by the Papago guide. These trophies, are said to udFS OCOu CdillCd Oy OlO O1 UllC pdl uS in sack when last seen. The most acceptable theory regarding the find ing of the human hands is that the Seri Indians have added two more vic tins to their list The murdered men are believed to be Miller and compan-. ion, who went down the Colorado river from Yuma last January. At the spot where the human hands were found strapped to the stake the indications were that war dance had been held. The hands were fastened to the stake by means of two leather straps which formerly belonged to a kodak, and the remains of the old stove known to have belonged to this party were found by Mr. Christy.
 Proceeding on down the coast the searching party came upon the old camps of the lost party, picking up per sonal belongings, including a saddle, an alarm clock, a book and other trinkets. fE sNtit

of Wcmen'S Clubs.

The Arizona federation of WOmen's Clubs holds it's fourth annual meeting at Phoenix in the Womans $ club rooms, Curio Building, November 2, 23 and 24

As the president of the Yuma Woman's club, Mrs. Sum- her Hackett, is i'll and unable to attend tbe meeting, she has appointed as her representative Miss M. E.

The Carnival Program.

There is not an objectionable attraction in connection with the fair and all of them are really entertaining. The show desig mated as the "Deep Sea Divers is more than entertaining, it is really instructive and education al. It is well worth the money and time required to see it, and gives a correct idea of the work accomplished by the men who toil at the bottom of the sea.
 The other attractions are above the average street fair shows. The exhibition given at Stadium is as good as can be seen anywhere and many of the acts are equal to the best circus acts. The act of the Japanese tumblers and equilibriumists seems to be the acme of human perfection, and MT. Schemes trapeze act displays great pow CTS of endurance, and the loop the loop and the bicycle whirl are other good acts and certain ly demonstrate that the perform CTS are thoroughly trained and absolute masters of their wheels.

Colorado River Out of Business.

The Colorado river is no more! Where once wiggled the tadpole and disported the catfish now the dry land appears, and the international boundary is lost in the scuffie. This turgid stream, which once pursued it's sinuous course to the Gulf of California. supplying western boundary for Arizona and a precarious means of navigation to the deni- zens of the lowlands, has been diverted, decoyed, gobbled, swiped, taken, sequestered, horn swoggled and grabbed off by the people of the Imperial valley and put to the work of wetting up the desert and changing the map generally. On October g the old eX-channel of the Colorado carried no water and people walked across it dry shod imme- diately below the head of the Imperial channel. - Imperial Press.
