We have never come across a stock
man who built a silo and filled it who
was not enthusiastic over the results
obtained. We regard the advent Of the
silo on all corn belt farms as the COM
ing great improvement. Recent exper-
iments prove conclusively that ensilage
can be most advantageously used in
the feeding of beef cattle, and, so far
as the dairy is concerned, it is simply
indispensable.
The bushel box package for apples is
coming more and more into favor. 1t
costs little If any more than do the
barrels; it insures lower freight rate,
as the car space is more economically
used. Then the box of apples is very
much better adapted for the use of the
average family than is the barrel.
Nearly all the choice apples Of the Pa
cific coast and of Colorado are now
packed and shipped in boxes.
The average quarter section farm

wide, and it is visited by a great many
persons, drawn thither by curiosity.
Mr. Cleek first settled on the wee,
sterile tract when he and his good wife
we're very poor. Through patience
and judiciouS toll the couple have
made the land literally "to bloom and
blossom as the rose" This farm fur

ONE OF LIFE'S TRAGEDIES
ONCE BRILLIANT AND FAMOUS
WOMAN PINCHED BY POVERTY.

Recipient of Favors from American
Presidents and European Royal
ties Applies to New York Po-
lice Judge for Assistance.
Old, poor, weak, sick and suffering,
a woman with tottering steps went be-
fore the magistrate of the police court
in one of the great cities the other day.
The hair once glossy with the hue of
youth was changed to the whiteness of
snow, the eyes that once shown with
brightness were faded and dim with
age and sorrow, the face where roses
bloomed and dimples played in life's
summer time was wan and wrinkled.
the lissome form of long ago was bow
ed under the weight of years and the
pressure of want and woe, from.a voice
to which thousands have listened with
delight the music was long since gone.
Her name has long been a familiar
one in the literary circles of America
and known beyond the seas, for her
writings have been printed in the lead
ing publications in the United States
and England, and her books are to be
found today in every great public Ii
brary, as well as the many homes, in
this country. Celebrities at home and
abroad have been her associates and
friends. In Paris the younger Dumas
was her admirer, and she has been
the recipient of favOrs from American
presidents and European royalties.
In other days her presence distin- |
guished the press gallery of the Unit
I'd States congress, and from London |
she wrote, from intimate observation,
of the British house of commons. AS |
lecturer and actress, as writer for |
the press, as writer of books, and as
writer of plays she achieved fame and
fortune, and it is no wonder that the
police magistrate was startled when |
the sad eyed, white haired woman en-
feebled by age and hunger, and al
most totally deaf, and clad in a thread
bare dress of a fashion long unknown,
said in quivering tones, but with fault
less English:

BULLET THROUGH HEAD.
San Juan Celebration at Tuhac Results
 in Death of Joe Villa.

Jce Villa was instantly killed at Tubac Sunday by revolver bullet which passed through his head. The shooting was accidental.
 Villa and a Mexican known as "Guero" Salcido had been riding about the little settlement to- gether, doing some promiscuous shooting. It is believed that when Salcido replaced his revolver in it's pouch 1t was cooked.
 Later the two men rode in the game known as 'Jugando los Ga- Hos" (playing the roosters), which consists of partially burying d rooster, leaving the head and neck protruding from the ground. Men on horseback ride by al full gallop and stopping over in the saddles endeavor to catch the rooster by the head and wrench him from the ground.
 When Salcido stopped over in his saddle and sought to catch the rooster's head, the revolver dropped from its pouch and striking the ground was discharged. The bullet struck Villa under the chin. pass ing upward and coming out through the top of tho head. kill ing him almost instantly.
 The cead man was buried at Tubac Monday As the shooting was clearly accidental, it is not likely there will be any prosecu- tion.

FOUNDRY MEN

About Forty-Flve Employees Arizona S Sonora Manufacturing Company
 Quit Work Monday.

Monday afternoon, about fortv- five men, employed in the foundry of the Arizona E Sonora Manu featuring Company (Roy & Tit comb, Incorporated), quit work. The men had been working ten hours q day and asked for nine hour day, which the firm is not prepared to grant. There seems to be no ill feeling on the part Of either the employees or the firm. What the men demanded the firm was not ready to concede and the men quit work. About fifty-fye men were employed at the works and of that number all but seven or eight went out.
 The firm has not decided just what action to take in the matter, but for the present will not at tempt to resume operations at the foundry, How long it will be per- mitted to remain idle Mir. Titcomb says he cannot state at the present time.
 When asked about the strike by TIE OAsIs reporter Thursday Mir. Titcomb stated that the firm would be willing to grant the men the desired nine hour day if 1t were possible 10 do so. The reduction in working hours would decrease the capacity of the foundry ten per cent, with no decrease in ex- { penses and under such circum- stances the local foundry could not compete with those al Fl Paso, Los Angeles and other places, where other conditions are more favor able. The greatest obstacle to the granting of the nine hour day ap- pears to be the freight rates Fol some time, Mr. Titcomb states, lie has been endeavoring to secure more reasonable freight rates On raw material used at the foundry Should he succeed in obtaining reasonable freight rates on ran material, and not be compelled te pay as much for its transportation as other fonndries pay for the transportation of the manufactured goods, he says he could so arrange
 matters as to grant his men tn, 1 nine hour day and he woulC

PECULIAR POSITION OF WELL KNOWN
 CHINESE MERCHANT.
Crosses international Line As Afneri- can Citizen and Citizenship Is
 Now Questioned.

Lee klm F0ng, better known as Sam Lee, the we'll known Chinese merchant of Nogales, may find himself in a very peculiar position in the near future. A question of vital import to Sam will be dis cussed before Judge Fletcher M Doan in Nogales Monday, and should certain possible features develop iii the case Sam's position will be as unique as 1t will be dis agreeable and probably without precedent
 Sam. or Lee Kim Fong, k said to have been born in San Francisco. AS d merchant engaged in business in the line city, he longed to enjoy the privilege of the American to cross and recross the international line. nut while there is no law to prevent him from going into Mex leo, Sam knew the American im- migration officials would not per init him to return to the American side of the line, should he once leave the country. He accordingly engaged Attorney $. K Noon to petition the district court on his account, with view to obtaining for him recognition as q native born American.
 The case was brought before Judge Doan at the April term of court, with evidence supporting the allegation that Sam was born in the United States. AS there was 10 apparent opposition an order was made by the court rec ognizing Sam as m American, 1t being understood that the United States immigration officials were cognizant of the proceedings.
 1t is now claimed the immigra- ton officials had no knowledge oi and had not consented to tho recog- milton of the Chinaman as an American and the order granting hIm such recognition IS protested against. Jndge Doan will be in Nogalcs Monday to hear the pro test, which will be presented by United States Attorney ]. L. B Alexander of Phoenix.
 Attorney Noon, through whose efforts Sam gained recognition as an American, reiterates his asser tion that the immigration officials were aware of the proceedings in stituted on Sam's behalf and says he himself discussed the matter with Mir. George Webb, chief o the immigration bureau for New Mexico and Arizona.
 But should the order of tn, court, made at the April term, b, rescinded, and Sam be denied tn, rights of an American, anothe question may arise to furthe complicate matters. During tn past few months, under protection of the courts ruling, he has freel, and frequently passed back ant
