In that city three months.
Next Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds visited
Rome and Naples and made stops at
Reggie and Messina, Sicily. And it
reamined for the New Mexico travel
ers in foreign parts to experience
really warm weather for the first time
on the trip at Palermo, where an in
MIGRATING, delightful summer climate
prevailed.
The Mediterranean was then cross
ed and the travellers retraced their
steps to Naples. The trip across the
sea dispelled some Of the Illusions
held by Mr.. Reynolds. He was al.
ways Of the opinion that the waters
Of the Mediterranean were placid and
ideal. However. they were found to
be rough and ugly and the Las Vegas
passengers on board ship came nearly
paying their respects to Neptune.
While at Naples, Mr.. Reynolds and
his wife, visited Pompeii, Of course.
While old Vesuvius was not active
nor sportive, yet volumes of smoke
could plainly be seer issuing out of its

and a half days in going. The ship
had to battle with heavy head winds
and high. rolling seas. which impeded
Its progress greatly. In consequence
of the rocking and plunging Of the
ship. about 20 per cent Of the soc
people on board became sea sick, with
all that that implies. although Mr..
Reynolds must be believed when he
says he didn't miss q single meal on
the home trip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds landed in
New York City, Sunday night May Sth
and exceedingly great was their Joy
at seeing their son, J. W. Reynolds

on coming down the gang plank.
Mr.. Reynolds could give out newspa-

1t Is to be regretted that Matney

TOBACCO GROWING.
Gabc Cosner Demonstrates That +
 Can Be Raised Here.

A day or two ago GIbe Cosner brought in from his ranch. southwest of town a leaf of tobacco that he had raised. MT. Cosner has quite patCn of the weed and is making a number Of experiments in its growth here. He feels confident that it can be made a paying proposition in the territory under proper conditions. The main thing, in his mind. is that it is abso- lutely necessary to have the right kind of a place to dry it. He has had many years experience in the sc;itn- crn states in the drying If tobI.,.o. and understands the business from start to finish. The plants ne las growing now are from seed plant .d about five months ago, and the crop is maturing at the present time. A part of his experiments consists in the selection of the most suitable time Of the year for the growth of the plant. and for that purpose he las planted the seeds at different times and n5s plants at different stages of develop ment. The matured plants nave reach ed a height of from two and half to three feet, the leaves are well formed. and tobacco experts pronounce them of very high grade.

The person most sOlicitous about him is Iuana Flores who dele gated him on Tuesday afternoon to go out and get a S20 bill changed for her. He had not returned by the middle of the following afternoon. Miss Flores reluctantly came to the conclusion that he has appropriated the money to his own use. At first she thought when he had not returned on the night of the day on which he started out that he { might have encountered some
 difficulty in finding change for
 at times change is scarce in Phoenix. She did not know but he might have gone to Tucson or Pres colt where there is said to be mora money in circulation and that as soon as he had executed his mission he
 would return. But after the lapse of 1 twenty-four hours without any word l from him she determined to swear out a warrant for his arrest. The warrant has not yet been served.
