THE RURAL FREE
DELIVERY SYSTEM

While the people or Vermont have nad
rural free delivery system, people in
general do not stop to think what the
development Of this service means. The
rural free delivery has completely trans
formed conditions in rural sections rs
regards mail facilities making it possi-
bio for those served to receive their
morning paper as regularly as city pa
irons are provided with tho daily record
of tho worlds events, ana keeping them
i'm close touch with public affairs. i'm
addition to furnishing prompt and sure
letter service.
The rural free delivery has done more
than this however. II has made it pos
siblc for residents Of rural communities
ia send Ia the cities ror various kinds
of goods to be delivered ny mail, thus
adding materially to their facilities for
making purchases economically. The mail
order men have enjoyed Il rapid growth
i'm their business as a result Of the null
tiplcation OF free delivery Of mails in
rural districts, and if the recommends

WHALES BY THE HUNDRED.

q saw 800 whales ashore at one time on a beach in the Straits of Ma gellan said Capt. James Heylet of the British navy. Some years ago my
 ship lay off Peal inlet, a small creek a
 mile and a half long, opening into Port Salvador, which &n turn opens into the South Atlantic by a very mar row opening One morning a Whiri-
 wind appeared to be approaching over
 the water in the bay of San Salvador, and soon this was made out to be an enormous school of whales, so thick that they seemed to be jostling one another Nothing was to be seen but fins and tails and the water in foam all around This was in a flowing tide and the came into the inlet it. self describing a sort of cyclodal curves until the inshore part of the squadron took on a kelD reef. Then sudden panic seemed to siege them all and the unfortunate animals went up the inlet full speed, with the sea boil ing in upon them and a great wave coming after them, and the piled up in hundreds on the beach. Then, as there was a rising tide, they got off again, but only to charge the opposite beach, and this continued until the following tide when loss of strength left them high and dry all around the dreary bay Very few, old or young, lived more than a quarter of an hour after their final stranding. Some died quietly, others beat the sand and water with their tails, dyeing the water with their blood. By evening, after the tide had ebbed there was only five whales afioat out of the more than 500 that had come into the inlet so majestically that morning. Next day only three were to be seen. They swan around for while and then, as if disdaining to live. when all their companions were dead, they made straight for the beach and in a few minutes had pass ed out of existence. The whales were from four to thirty feet long. the four foot whales being just born.-Milwau- kee Free Press.

ADJUSTMENTS

The ninth week of the summer amusements at East Lake Pahk ended Saturday night, and the tenth week will witness a production of a play dear to the heart of every Arizonian, and which until now we have never had the chance to see at home, the much talked of play of Arizona" The scenes of which are laid in the Aravaipa valley, and the people who are concerned in it is a rich rancher and his family and the soldiers and officers from Fort Grant. The time of the play the first call for volunteers for the Spanish American war. The action of the play is intense without being dramatic or theatrical, and in fact at no time do any of the characters do anything but a natural move or say a natural thing, and in this fact lies the great success of the play, so great .. success that the most conservative London papers were unanimous in the one ex- pression America has sem another masterpiece" when the play was first introduced in London.
 While the production cannot be made as elaborate at East Lake as a city production, the play will lose none of it's charm and beauty in the hands of the clever Miss Tucker and her com pany Indeed, special efforts are be- ing made to give the people of Phoe- nix as near a city productin as the linn tied stage room will permit. The same attention is also being paid to the many details which insure the success or failure of such play.
 New specialties will be introduced including the illustrated songs. "Only Private-Thats All" and Down at the Baby Store"

Frank Morris an Old Time Operator
 Returns to Phoenix.

Frank Morris, who for three years had been connected with the Western Union office here, returned yesterday morning, after an absence of nearly three years. to take the day trick, " succeeding Charles Crowley, who has decided to abandon the telegraph busi- ness after having made a most success full start. MT. Morris had a much bet ter position with the company at san Francisco, but he preferred Phoenix as a place of residence. Mrs. Morris has been her for the last six weeks visit ing friends and relatives.
 MT. Crowley left this morning for Santa Barbara, where he will enter St. Anthony's school for a five year course. He has not decided what he will fit himself for, but the course at St. An thony's has nothing to do with the busi- ness of telegraphing. About five years ago he entered the service Of the Vest ern Union as a messenger boy. Unlike most messenger boys he was not con tent with the mere delivery of messages but he put in his spare time unra7- cling the mysteries of the key" with the result that a year ago he became an accomplished operator and was for a time stationed a Tempe.

SUMMER RAINS BEGUN
Cave Creek Has Been Soaking Up
 Since Thursday.

Cave Creek, July 29.-(SpeciaI cor respondence of The Republican.)-O Thursday night, the 26th, the first of the summer rains fell over the north part of MaricOpa county. The rain began at eight o'clock and ragged with fury at Cave Creek station until ten o'clock. For a few moments the rain fall was a cIoudbUrst. The next morn ing vessels left out showed nearly an inch and d quarter of water. The first rain of last summer fell on the 20th 10 22nd. as variously remembered, and this one came about one week later. The gale at Cave Creek was so strong as to put the roofs of tent houses to the test, but only one was partly blown off. There were heavy rains in sight and hearing of Houck's store every afternoon for a week previous; doubtless watering copiously Yavapai county and the Verde ranges from Camp Verde to old Fort Mcdowell. Feed and water on the Cave Creek ranges had not begun to fail to any noticeable extent. From now on the desert (?) and mountainous regions north will show growths tropically dense. The atmosphere. however seems dry vet, mitigating very much g. high temperatures and the nights are delightfully."- cool and restful.

gard to the boil weevil situation in
Louisiana states that up to the present

the official does not look for a spread
Of the area. Mr.. Newell says that the
