 them, and the sooner they are made aware of them the better for all con cerneds He thinks there is room here for a million people up and down the rIy CT. just as fast as they can come in and place themselves and they are ready to come right now if Phoenix will go after them. But if they are not invited, are left in ignorance of conditions here they will not come and that is all there is to it. He says the railroads are bringing about 5000 peo- pie day into California. Arizona wants to see these people. some of them, at least, going or coming or both. Put Arizona literature in their hands. and after they have looked over California, if not before. they will look at this valley, and stay here.
 Mir. Fine was raised in California and there is no one better fitted to make comparisons than he. He still loves his former state and glories in her success. but does not blind his eyes to the fact that what has been done there can be duplicated here. One thing he says Phoenix must be inn pressed with. is that there is no ieal- ousy on the part of Los Angeles. That city is already firmly established and its continued greatness now depends

A Phoenix Man Who Spent The Sum

Mr. and Mrs. Belt Fine have just re- turned from a visit of three or four months in California, feeling good and better contented than ever with their Arizona home. They spent sthe time in Los Angeles, but more of it at San Diego, Long Beach and other resorts. NIT. Fine instinctively boosted Arizona on every occasion and says that he found a great deal of inquiry about this valley, the most of it in connection with early vegetables. fruits etc. In- Quiry could be made of no better per son than MT. Fine who owns a ranch east of the city and another piece of ground devoted 10 strawberry culture. He knows what the soil and climate of this valley will do when given a chance, not by heresay. but from prac- tical experience, for he has been sue cessfully tilling the soil for some years.
 MT. Fine is also among those who may be classed as enthusiastic in the cause of advertising right now. He

UNRULY GAVE GREEK
 10 BE INVESTIGATED
The Board of Supervisors Decide That There Shall Be no Saloon at Alham- bra.

A committee representing the prop erty-holders and residents in the path way of the Cave Creek floods appeared before the board of supervisors and presented the need of action to prevent a repetition of the damages of two years ago. The members of the board were invited to accompany the com mittee on tour of the country to see for themselves the need of a campaign against flood waters. The board ac- cepted the invitation and the tour of investigation will be made tomorrow.
 The party will be accompanied by Engineer Reed of the reclamation ser vice which is also interested in favor able action by the board since the floods from Cave Creek have washed out the banks of the Arizona Canal.
 The board took action on the appli- cation for a saloon license for Alham- bra by denying 1t. Pretty much the whole neighborbood had been dragged into this matter. There were strong protests against the granting of the license and there was a numerously signed document setting forth that the subscribers had no objection to a saloon if it were run right. The board had early decided that the license would not be granted but no opportu- nifty to announce that decision was Of- fered until yesterday.
 The board was quite busy during the day receiving calls from holders of school land leases who came in to pay up. a formality which many of them had been neglecting for some years. more by reason of the fact that pay ment had not been insisted upon.
 Among those who paid yesterday, was Henry Barry, whose arrears amounted to s40O. Mention is made of this individual case. for the reason that MT. Barry's argument covers the reasons of many of the others who had withheld payment He said that though he had not derived any profit from his holdings he had remained in possession of the land. for he was sure that il was a good thing to hold onto. The board jumped at this argu- ment as an admission that the land had q value, though it might be all in the future; at any rate that it was not a thing which could be profitably neg lected: if it was worth nothing to a holder it might be worth something to some other person.
 The active campaign of the board in the matter of the school lands has re- suited in turning several thousands of dollars into the treasury that other wise would never had been paid.

Odd Nests Of Air Bubbles.

Paradise fishes come from Japan,
and their nests are very odd indeed,
for they are composed Of air bubbles
Unlike goldfish, they will breed and
raise their young in an aquarium or
even in glass globe, and they raise
three or four broods each year.
Ordinarily the male paradise fish
is dull silyery color, but when he
goes ACQUIRING he puts on a brilliant
coat, striped with streaks Of red, blue
and green. When the female fish is
ready to lay eggs, she builds her
nest by swallowing air and making
bubbles, which are held together by
a sticky secretion that comes from
her mouth.
The eggs rise in the water and
find resting place among the air
bubbles to which the yelling. The
female fish tries to swallow the eggs,
but her husband drives her away and
keeps guard until the eggs are hatch
ed If the air bubbles burst, the male
fish blows some more, so that the
nest is always floating on the sur
face Of the water.
At the end of five days the young
are Matched out. They cannot swim
but cling like tadpoles to the air
bubbles. If one falls, the other fish
catches it in his mouth and blows it
up among the bubbles again lie
does not leave his little ones until
they take care Of themselves.-Pi Pitts

How to KIN the varmlnts.

AS for Bill, he seemed to regard
the act of killing a skunk as a pleas
ant detail of the business. With the
extra burlap bag spread across his
left arm as his sole protection against
skunk-ammunition, he would walk
calmly into the melee. It would be
q short fight. The skunk depends
almost entirely upon its spraying

enemy, and seems to lose its nerve
when attacked at close quarters. II
will bite at the grass and apparently
go mad with rage, but these parox-
ysms are but harmless evidences OF
fright. AT least, Bill seemed to care
nothing for them. II the animal was
"shooting-mad," Bill would shelter his
face behind the burlap bag, and wait
until the eruption was finished. II
not, SO much the better for Bill He
would wait patiently for the right
moment, and then-crack down fell

From our childhood picture book
days nearly every one of us has
cherished the idea that the camel was
the beast above all others that could
exist for extended periods without
drinking. And so few of us have
any idea that there are other beasts
Of the earth quite as capable as the
bumped quadruped of going for days
and weeks without water.
Sheep in the Northwestern deserts
go from forty to sixty days, in win
ter, without drink, grazing on the
green, succulent vegetation. of that
season. Peccaries in the desert of
Sonora live in little dry hills, where
there is no natural water, for long
periods. They can not possibly find
water, in fact, for months at time.
The only moisture they can obtain
comes from roots and the fruits of
cacti.
But the most extraordinary case
is that of the pocket mouse, one of
the common rodents of the desert
This little creature, by the way. has
a genuine, fur-lined pocket on the
outside of its cheek When it is
hungry 1t takes food from this pocket
with its paw, just as a man would
pull sandwich from his pocket.
1t is said that one of these mice
has been kept for three years with
no other food than the mixed bird
seed of commerce During this per
iod it had not a taste of either water
or green food. Other experiments in
this direction have shown, in fact,
that these mice in captivity refuse
such treats, not seeming to know that
water is good to drink. The bird
seed put before the mouse referred
to contained not more than 10 per-
cent of moisture, which is less than is
necessary for digestion. Stuff so dry
as this can not even be swallowed I'M
til it is moistened by saliva, yet this
remarkable mouse gave nothing but
his time to the interests of science.
He suffered nothing in health or spir'
its during his captivity

BeIIed Rat Routs Sleep.

John Pennington of Lyndhurst, NJ
j., has driven all the rats from his
home but one, and that one will prob
ably drive Pennington, his wife ana
children from under their roof. How
ever there is, as usual, something to
compensate the Penningtons for all
their troubles. They are not bother
ed with guests; their friends abso-
lutely refuse to pass a night in
house which they VOW is haunted
So it is. One rat, which seems to
have insomnia, haunts it by night,
by day always. Rats overran the
house until recently and were far
too wise to be caught in the traps
which Pennington baited. Then
false friend advised him:
Catch a big rat, wire bells around
his neck and let him loose. The
bells will scare away all the rats.
So Pennington did, and then ended
his peace of mind and quiet. The
bells around the rats neck sound al
ways Sometimes they invade the
attic; sometimes they tinkle in the
cellar sometimes in the DINING room
walls and loudest of course, at night
in the bedroom walls. The belled
rat. it seems never sleeps, and it
will not let any of the family sleep.
II am afraid we will have to move"
says Mr.. Pennington between yawns.
Il can appreciate how a dog feels
when bad boy ties a tin can to it's
tail Whenever 1 go in the house /
hear those Internal bells, and their
sound is like to drive me crazy"

A Two Sided Joke.

A few thousand years ago very
frisky young chaps dwelt on the banks
of the historic Irawaddy.. They were
forever giving each other stunts and
challenges, and they were great prac-
teal jokers.
They really lived upon opposite
sides of the river, but this was no OBJ
stacle to their sport, for they were
both adept swimmers. Besides, though
the Irawaddy has a width worth talk
ing about, these playmates could sit
on opposite banks Of the river and
below their jokes across at each
other without the least inconvenience.
You understand Of course, that this
was ages and ages before Adam. 1t
might be mentioned also that these
two chaps resembled young elephants
more nearly than anything else that
can be thought of. One of them was
nearly the size of a grown elephant,
the other was not more than eleven
sixteenths as large. But what the
smaller lacked in size he fully made
up in agility. If he had lived in the
twentieth century he would have been
known as the Irawaddy sprinter
One day these two playfellows were
summing themselves on a sandy spot
when a swim was proposed. No sooner
said than off came their skins and
they were rolling, putting and snort
ing, blowing water into each others
faces and trying to hold each other
under water. 1t was rough-and-tum
BILE play, but it was good-natured UNI
til the little fellow got squarely on the
big fellows back and held him under
long, long time. Then, giving HIM
self push, he swan few yards away
to see the victim of his joke come up.
Instead of coming up with a jump
and fling the big chap came up very
slowly. He seemed to have barely
strength to lift his head for breath.
Another minute and there would have
been one elephant less in the jungles,
and one more in the Irawaddy.
The air that soon restored the big
fellow to his usual activity did not re-
store his good humor. There was an
ger and vengeance written all over
his brown countenance. The small
chap saw it and wisely headed for
shore. Looking back as he climbed
out of the water, the sight of his en-
ragged pursuer smote him with terror.
Hastily picking up his hide, he took
to the tangled forest. His one thought
was escape, for he knew Of the two
he was the better runner. 1t was near
nightfall when he stopped Not until
then did he think of putting on his
skin
Shades of his fathers He had the
wrong hide! Should he go back? He
dared not. He must seek a new home
and new friends. Oh, the awkward
ness and the chagrin he felt when he
put the skin on and saw how it hung
in loose, ugly folds about him.
Suddenly he thought Of the big chap
trying to get into a skin much too
small for him, and he roared with
laughter until the jungle shook. How
could he help exclaiming: That's one
on him."
Yet, there were two sides to this
joke. The little fellow could not
keep the skin in place over his head,
so he cut a hole just in front of his
eyes, and ran the end of his trunk up
through it. In time this end became
hardened from being held in one posi- 4
ton, and when it turned to bone they
called the chap a rhinoceros.-W
