VEGETABLE MARKET
 PRACTICALLY BARE
Prevailing Prices ofSuch Products as
 are Obtainable.

The market stands in Phoenix Gc not at this season of the year present an attractive appearance. There is prac- t!cally nothing in the way af green vegetables. and what little there is of fruit is imported from California iE small quantities. It will be about six weeks before carload shipments are at tempted on account of the extreme heat. What fruit is to be had is of splendid quality and the prices are in the main, in keeping. The reports from the Verde country are to the ef- feet that the crop this year will be big. So far only the early peaches are in and the few so far brought into the market have been consumed at Je- rome.
 The Walter Hill company yesterday quoted the following prices: Bananas, 6 cents a pound. The punches average from 40 to 90 pounds and are received in but small shipments. For lemons there is a good demand. According to quality the price ranges from $4.5O to $500. Valencia oranges are $5.25 a case. There are few apples on the market of the Gravestein and the Alex ander varieties, grown in California They are being sold at S2.2O to S2.25 a box Peaches are scarce and are sold at SIPS for 22 pound boxes. Grapes are very scarce and are sold at S1.25. Locally there were very few marketed. the entire crop of the valley being about equal to two cars and these were all sold for home consumption. On the market there are a number of varieties of plums. They include the Tragedy. Damascus German and Wixin. The last named is a white plum of fine flavor and other varieties have blue Jackets. They are sold at S15O for 25 pound crates. Melons are still plen- tiful for local consumption although the shipments are being gradually de- creased. WatermeIons are sold at $3 for 200 pound crates and canteIoupes at s1.5O for 50 pound crates.
 Chili, cabbage and sweet potatoes were the only vegetables received in last weeks imports. The sweet pota- toes are 215 cents a pound. Cabbage. which is very scarce is cents, and the green California chili of which the market here consumes a great deal. is taken at 121@ cents.
 At the retail markets there is lit tie picked up in the way of vegetables not handled by the wholesaler To-

THEY'D HAVE RIGHT AND MIGHT

HE U ftAN l. RIGHT AND MIGHT. that the joint statehood bill reason- ably construed provides for the merg- ing of all debts. county and territorial. into one state debt. We have also pointed out that if the bill should not be found to be susceptible of such a construction there is nothing in the measure which would prevent the con situtional convention with it's sixty six New Mexican delegates and it's fOrty-fOur Arizona delegates from pro- viding for such an arrangement. If it were not then done the matter could be taken up in the first legislature. IT is certain that it would be done very early in the life of the new state ana no valid argument could be put forwarc against it. There has been funded of the Arizona county debts more than $2,OOOO 900. Of the New Mexican county debt of more than sS.OOO, 900 no part has been funded. Tn the event of jointure the New Mexicans could urge with reason that their county indebtedness should be given as favorable a position as those of the Arizona counties.
 They would moreover be in a posi- tion to enforce their notion Of justice against the unreasonable protests of Arizonians who had been foolish enough to enter into this kind of partnership.

THE coLoNEL's SAYINGS.

The philosophy of the bluff old col onel in "The Balance of Power" the new American novel by Arthur Good rich. is already being widely quoted. Here are some of his David Harumr sayings:
 Don't git impatient, Jack. got inn patient with a mule once, a good many years ago, and when I came to. I was rods back of whar I was before. An what's more. I didn't want to go ahead agin fer days. Felt the humiliation chiefly in my stummick whar I'd con nected with the mules heels''
 "Cleanliness, my dear madam. may be next to godliness. but comforts bet tern either of 'em."

democratic methods upon us within ou~ own precincts where We have the in- alienable right to worship God accord ing to the dictates of our own con science, is striking at the very heart and core of the Christian Catholic Apostolic church in Zion.
 "The obligation simply carries our VOW that we will serve God first. last and all the time. When the pharisees said to Peter and the apostles: Did not We charge you that you should not speak in Christ's name2' they answer ed. Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God. judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which We have seen and heard God had told them that they were to serve him and serve him they would if it involved the loss of their lives. To obey God meant then. meant in many ages following and sometimes means now that We shall give pp our lives rather than disobey him. That is all the restoration vow is intended to mean. Every request that I make as leader is. as the vow says. to be a rightful request. An un- reasonable request no one is asked to obey I certainly. least of all as leader would not ask such a thing. The ser N4Nt ol NTOu IS d ItSDOiiSlDle SETNlce and there is nothing so reasonable as the service of God in the supreme obedi- ence which that VOW requires
 Not all the pamphlet is devoted to Judge Landis however. for Voliva and his followers are condemned and Dowie attempts to justify all his actions He denies he has been extravagant and de- nies he exaggerated when he said Zion City contained 10000 inhabitants and that Shiloh tabernacle seated more than 1000 persons.
 He also denies that he misused the money intrusted to his keeping and quotes from the report of the creditors committee that investigated the insti- tutions of Zion when they were in the hands of a receiver in 1905. Dowie also denies he expected to found a colony in Mexico where polygamy would be practiced. He says the laws of that land forbid such practice and he had no intention of defying them

DoWIE REPLIES TO LANDS.
Defends Vow of Zionists That Was
 Criticised by Jurist.

John Alexander Dowie has issued a pamphlet in which he answers the at tack made by Judge Landis upon the restoration host vow. It will be re- membered the federal jurist denounced those who took the VOW as un-Amer- jean.
 Tt is not strange the distinguished jurist should see all things with demo- cratic eyes" says the former leader of Zion "and fail to discern the spiritual order of things in a spiritual kingdom I have subscribed my allegiance to the American constitution and no man has been more loyal and regardfuI of law than I. We have taught in Zion that the republican form of government is the best Of all human governments and the one which leads most directly to the rule of God. Our theocratic plat form sets forth our purpose to labor in an orderly and loyal manner to secure notifications of the constitution along theOcratic lines: meanwhile. we were working out the model in Zion. crude and imperfect though it may have been in the beginning.
