 THE FIRST BARLEY-The first barley to be threshed this season was threshed yesterday on the ranch of | Frank Murphy, east of the city. It is as yet too soon to quote a price on the present barley crop, as little has so far found it's way into the market, al- though some has been sold in advance The quality is excellent and, consider ing the acreage planted, the yield has been especially good all over the val ley. The entire crop this season. it is estimated, will amount to about Is, ,O0O:- 900 pounds The wheat crop will run between 100000 and 5000, 900 pounds The weather of the past three weeks has been ideal for both crops. the cool nights and the warm days being the best weather that could have possibly prevailed.
 A BOX OF MONKEYS.-"A Box of Monkeys as presented by the junior class of the high school last evening was we'll received by a large and ap- preclative audience. There was no time in the presentation marked by the drag so common in the giving of plays by amateurs. Tn addition to the regular bill two selections were ren- dered by the high school orchestra which were particularly pleasing. Be- tween the acts a comic speciality was introduced by Harry George. who in his characterization of Dinah con vulsed the house with laughter. MT. George has a good voice and was forced to respond to an encore. His selections were Sambo and Dinan and Ia h. song Jasper"

 SALE OF FLOODED cATTLE-Dr. w. F. Platt and w. w. Pace of Stafford yesterday bought of the Hotel Adams stock farm forty head of thoroughbred, 1 registered Jersey cattle. The herd was comprised of thirty eight cows and heifers, one of Mir. Adams herd bulls. l whose registered name is Diploma" and another two-year- bull This is quite an important sale for variety | of reasons. In the first place, consid- ! erable money is involved. In the next place, it marks the beginning of a we'll 1 defined effort to raise the grade of the 1 dairy cattle in the upper Gila valley | More important than all, to this valley, | is the fact that it further advertises it as the breeding place for fine cattle as well as other kinds of live stock | Messrs. PIatt and Pace are largely in | terested in the bettering of the dairy 1 cattle of the upper Gila and their in l vestment here is a large step in the 1 right direction. Undoubtedly in the ] months to come they will not only keep 1 an eye on this valley for good cattle, l but others in that section will also be | interested.

He maintained to the very last that the wheel he was accused of stealing he had found, but his statement was so apparently untrue that there was little doubt that he had done the wrong as alleged He will likely he
