 INCREASING 5USlNESS-The l business of incorporating under the laws of Arizona is rapidly increasing. The total of the fees collected by the territorial auditor from tins source for the month of March, ending last night, is $4503. That is more than thous- and dollars in excess of the fees for any month since the passage of the Cowan bill transferring the incorpora- tion filings from the office of the sec retary to that of the auditor.
 A PHOENIX BOOMER-There is one man who in the course of the year will travel all over the United States and wherever he goes he will speak well of Phoenix and particularly of the advantage of buying real estate here. He is F. W. Wade. manager of the Beggar Prince Opera company MT. Wade was so favorably impressed with what he saw here that he decid- ed that he wanted in on the town. He accordingly bought lots 1, Z, 3, and of block 23, Neahr's addition, for which he paid $1,25O. MT. Wade could think of no other speculation which promised so much profit for the amount invested.
 ANOTHER FAILURE-The Phoenix baseball team did not go to Tucson last night as was expected. This time the trouble was at the other end. It rained hard there yesterday and the Tucson manager telephoned over that the grounds would not be in condition for a game today. If the rain stopped yesterday end 1t is decided that the -gsrI,4 the team may go tonight for a Sum- day game It is also announced that the game between the Phoenix Juniors and the Phoenix Mexican Athletic club is called off. The pitcher for the Juniors expected to go to Tucson as an extra man for the big team hence the plans for the Sunday meeting at East lake park were given up.
 THE PRICE OF LIFE-F. F. Rob inson. who returned from Buckeye yesterday, says that while he was down there an old man came into camp and said he had just arrived from Fort Mcdowell where a rather peculiar incident occurred. A man he did not know attempted to cross the Verde river in a wagon. Hardly had he driven into the stream when the wagon tipped over with the driver un- derneath the box. The man who re- lated the story said that he prevailed upon some Indians nearby to wade in and help him get the unfortunate driy- CT out the argument he used being q five dollar bill. They were successful by a narrow margin for it took them an hour to bail the unfortunate out and get him so he could talk again. and then when they told him he owed the Indians five dollars he protested and almost dropped dead again before he could be prevailed upon to pay the bill.
 A coINcIDENcE-I' was en occurrence at the office of Justice Johnstone the other day which would not happen again probably in ten thousand years. The night before he had been called upon to Ofhciate at marriage The lady in the case had an unusual name, consisting of three parts. The justice had never heard of her before. The next morning he was filling out the marriage certificate preparatory to transmitting to the of fee Of the probate judge when a mail carrier came in with the mornings mail. He threw down on the desk of the justice a newspaper in a wrapper addressed to Miss - - No. I5 South First avenue. That is the number of the office. The carrier re- marked at the same time that he did not know who the young lady was but he presumed that she was a rel ative of the justice. It happened that at that very instant the justice was midway writing the same name in the certificate. He glanced at the address on the paper and nearly fell out of the chair.
