Instinct In Birds.

In the stormy part of the year steamer encountered rough weather, and, as often happens at such times, many sea gulls lowered near the ship and even came on board. One allowed itself to be caught, and it was found that it had fish bone stuck in the eye in such a position as not absolutely to destroy the sight, but penetrating an inch into the flesh of the bird and pro- jecting an inch and a half It might have had a fight with a fish or got transfixed seeking it's prey.

RIVER CONVENTION
Proposed Meeting at San Diego to Dis Cuss Colorado Problem Deferred

The chamber of commerce directors decided yesterday afternoon to delay the official call for a convention to con- cider the Colorado river situation until the sentiment of the citizens ot the lm- perial Valley could be ascertalned. This action was taken notwithstanding that President Hutchins of the BraWley chamber of commerce, and MT. Whit tier, of SiIsbee, professed themselves in favor of the convention after learn ing the true purposes of the call.
 Secretary Jasper was instructed to send communications to the various chambers of commerce of the Valley, tncloslng full statement of the objects of the proposed convention and asking for an expression of the sentiment Of each section. The question of the convention will be taken up again just as soon as these replies have been re- ceived.
 Both Messrs. Hutchins and Whittier said that in their opinion if the resi- dents of Imperial Valley correctly un- derstood the objects of the call for q the convention there would be no opposi- ton.
 Dr. Gochenauer made the following statement to the men from the Cobra do district, explaining the sentiment Of the San Diego chamber of commerce: We wish 1t to be clearly understood by those most deeply interested in the settlement of the Colorado river prob lem that the San Diego chamber ot commerce. in calling this convention, was actuated solely by desire to pro- cure the best advisement possible of the problems of the Colorado, and par tcuIarly that the chamber of com merce was not pledged to any particu- lar program or method of settlement, and that above all things, the San Dl- ego chamber of commerce is anxious to see the work now going on for the control of the waters continued without interruption.

EThe Imperial Valley PRESS, publish ed at Fl Centro, last week issued an H. lustrated sixteen page edition, which is the best gotten up newspaper which we have yet seen coming from the Imper- ial Valley. It is we'll written, it is well illustrated. It seems strange to see such specinan of the printers art coming from out the utter desolation of the most barren desert in the world of only five years ago. But the desert was only desert because of a lack of water. Man has supplied that and farms and towns spring up almost in a night The publication of such a pa- per as last weeks PRESS shows that there is civilization of high order among those hardy pioneers.-Citro- graph

They were so called from the fact that they as- serted that in the last days the four an- cient monarchies, the Assyrian, the Persian, the Babylonian and the Ro- man, would be restored, and to them would be added a Christian monarchy, or fifth monarchy, of which Christ would be the king.

An Important letter

Register Prescott of the United States Land Office at Los Angeles calls attention to a matter of consider able importance to settlers on desert lands in some parts of this Valley. The fact that where the water supply is interrupted as in Water company Nos. 8 and 6 the desert entryman can turn his claim into a homestead. and receive credit for the four years he held 1t as desert claim is very great advantage. It enables him not only to save his property, but also to realize on the time spent in Its recla- nation. The people interested should feel grateful to General Prescott for in- forming them of their rights in this. re- gard.

 There Is no provision for s~extension  of time for reclamatlon.o .of desert land entry. The law requIres3 reclamation to be effected within the four years and the expenditures of $l an acre yearly.

SHEEP

The First of the Season, Reported

| Last season for some time the sheep
 men of Arizona almost kept up the Kansas City mutton market Last week for the first time they got into the market this year.

Ariz., made the initial shipment of sheep from that territory for the 1906 season. ar irving today with seven double deck of sheep, yearlings and lambs. the property of himself and his brother II is needless to say that he was highly pleased with results, one lot, yerdlings and lambs, selling at S6.25 and the Oth CT wethers and yearlings. making S6. These were the first grassers from that country and came through in good condition. Said MT. Scott: "California
 buyers have made that country their headquarters all the spring and I am the first owner that had the nerve to
 ship away from them. l was confident
 that prices realized were not up to eastern standard of worth and the result coming to the Kansas City mar

 Shipments from Arizona will not, in
 my opinion, be as heavy as last year as no owner is marketing any aged ewes and most are holding on to their eve lambs.

Daniels. who lives , in the west and, is bringing in his sec ond crop of cabbage from the same stalk. Unless he gets more water he , is doubtful about how long he can keep up this succession of crops for once a cabbage tree quits bearing fruit it is done for and might as well be cut down and new one planted. Some fine -beets will be raised under the Arizona canal this season but it is be- lieved a considerable acreage will not mature in time for this seasons run at the sugar factory.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
 MAPS SAITON SINK
Some Official Information Regarding
 the Threatened Region.

The United States geological survey has just issued a map of the SaltJn sea region, setting forth new informa ton concerning that part of the coun- try The latest press bulletin Of the survey says of the map:
 "A map representing parts of Cali fornia and Mexico has recently been published by the United States geo. logical survey which is oi unusual interest at this time. The area coy cred is widely known as the SaIton sink. a great depression in the Colo rado desert which has been much dis cussed lately, owing to the threatened formation of large inland sea where there is now a thriving community.
 About 5000 people have settled in that part of the basin known as the Imperial valley and are raising ,xcel- lent crops of barley and alfalfa. Stock farms are numerous and exper ments in raising the date palm are in prog ress. The freight shipments from Im- perial, town only four years old, rival those of Los Angeles in value, and are said to exceed those of any other town in southern California.
 "The existence of this peaceful com munity is, however, seriously endan- Seieu DN AOlOIaQO TlNer, WnIGn strangely enough, is also the source of all its prosperity, as it is this stream which furnishes water for the irrigd- tion system. The absence of any con trolling works at the head of the main canal has resulted in diverting the river from its old channel and permit ting the entire flood flow to entc' the irrigation system. This is causing great damage to the ditches and crops, and is forming large lake, which now covers about 20 square miles, at the lowest part of the sink. The Southern Pacific railroad has been obliged 10 lcbuild many miles of tracks.
 The map of this region. which is called the SaIton sink special shows on scale of about eight miles to an inch, all the principal towns, roads, canals and drainage lines. Contour lines also indicate what the future sea may cover at different attitudes. The usual price of 5 cents a copy will be charged for this map, which was made by w. Carvel Hall, under the direc- ton of R. B. Marshall"

The Case Of James Sias Goes Over 10
 Jund 10.

Sheriff James Lowry of YavapaI county arrived in the city yesterday morning from Prescott with two con victs, on his way to Yuma. One of the men is Martin Marley sentenced to one year for forgery and the other is Fran cisco Robles for three years for horse stealing
 Speaking of the case of James Sias. convicted on Thursday of embedding from Sheriff Joe Roberts while acting as his undersheriff, MT. Lowry said that he had not been sentenced on Sat urday, as it had been thought he would.
 Any further proceeding in his case will now go over to June 70. The dis trict court at prescott took a recess on account of the meeting of the supreme court here tomorrow.
 It is probable that motion for q new trial in the case of Sias will be heard when the court re-assembles, and in the event of it's denial sentence will be passed upon him. The next step would of course be the appeal. for Sias will fight every step of the way to the penitentiary. He has had the backing SO far of his employer in Texas.

But it was really a little joke the boys had among themselves The list was incomplete and some of the best players in the band were not mentioned at all. The strength of the band had been adver- tised in Prescott where The Republican has a good circulation, so. when this list appeared the Prescott people nat urally concluded that the band was af- ter all a very small organization in stead of an aggregation of thirty pieces or more. Nevertheless. a street con- cert did much to restore confidence, and there was an attendance that left a very comfortable balance on the credit side in the box office even though the big theater was not near full
 Prof Fountain however, is less inter ested in the box office receipts than in the musical success of his boys. He said his audience indicated the great est satisfaction over their work and encores were numerous from the very first number. The length of the pro gram did not admit of too frequent a reappearance, and even then some numbers had to be omitted in order to close the entertainment at a reasonable hour. The program, he said was a professional one, that is. Q real band program, rather than the easy pieces usually undertaken by beginners. His reason for having so many numbers of this kind was that he wanted the boys tO appreciate the necessity of hard work and close attention to their mu- sic, for they are not posing yet as pro- fessionals, but as juveniles.

Phoenix Organization Found Favor

Prof. Fountains juvenile band re- turned home yesterday on the Daylight Express from Prescott, where they gave a concert the night before in the opera house. The youngsters were en- thusiastic over the reception accorded them, the success of the entertainment, and the Prescott summer climate. Most of them said they never had so good d time in their life and some of them said they never expected to have a bet ter one. They were pleased with the hospitality of the Prescott people and Professor Fountain said he was also delighted at the treatment the boys re- ccived and with the manner in which his boys acquitted themselves.
 Asked concerning the success of the concert he said it was really beyond his expectations. He had hoped for rath

TELLS BY
 THEIR SLEEP

|" l can tell by my little ones sleep when a cold is coming on" said a mother when speaking of the advance symptoms of colds in children. " They toss about, are rest less, their breathing is heavy and there are symptoms of night sweats. The next morn ing l start with Scott's Emul- sion. The chances are that in a day or two they are all over it. Their rest is again peaceful and the breathing normal"
 Here's a suggestion for all mothers. Scott's Emul- sion always has been almost magical in its action when used as the ounce of preven- tion. Nothing seems to over- come child weakness quite so effectively and quickly as Scott's Emulsion.
