 Among other cities visited was San Jose, which has a delightful climate and many other attractions. but he does not believe it will compare with Phoenix for all things when the re- spective merits are listed side by side. The climate in California is varied. as it is in Arizona. Many places most delightful for some reasons have a more uncomfortable summer climate than Arizona and certainly none of them haze d better winter climate Sacramento was progressively hot. and Fresno and other places were but lit tie different.
 After looking the United States over pretty well, MT. Uthy has de- cided that tke real typical Eden, that harboreth not a thorn in the roses or a canker in the apple, has not yet been found, but about the nearest approach to it he has been permitted to see is the Salt river valley. Anyhow. it Is good enough for him and he has de- cided to stay here for at least hum dred gears yet.

Mrs. s. F. Cravens returned home Thursday last from her summer in Colorado and Kansas, stopping in Dem yer on her way east to visit with hN sister. She will resume the music in struction of the Cravens school on Monday at 2i0 West Jefferson street. The greater part of the summer was spent in Emporia, Kansas. where she was connected with the College of Elm poria and received very complimentary mention in the local press. The Em- poria Gazette in recent issue said:
 The summer term of the music de- partment of the College of Emporia has just closed, and has been the most successful of any year. Mrs. $. F.. Cravens of Phoenix. Ariz.. gave the voice work. She came here highly recomme nded and her work was most satisfactory. She excels in tone-plac- ing and voice building and the college is to be congratulated thOt 1t secured so competent an instructor for it's summer school.
 Mrs. Cravens also taught some piano pupils and was as satisfactory in that line as in the vocal work.

Ht-LOST HIS TEAM
 BUT SAVED HIS FAMILY '
An Indian in Collision With the Train From Mesa Yesterday Morning.

By what may be called a head-on land tail-end collision at the same time yesterday morning at the First street crossing of the M. & P, an Indian by the name of Charley White lost his lteam and wagon and sustained a broken arm. The place is a particu- larly dangerous one on account of the narrowness of the alley through which the train approaches the depot. The train from Mesa was backing in off the "Y." moving slowly. The Indian with his wife and & baby in the wag- on suddenly appeared in view and started across the track. Conductor Hatton, Sheriff Hayden and Brakemen Davis and Wade were on the rear platform and yelled atNthe Indian, who seemed confused. At the same time Conductor Hatton tried t6' signal the engineer but before the train could be brought to a stop it hit the wagon. making a complete wreck of it. one of the horses was grYdnd under the train and the other had a hip broken and was afterward shot. The wagon was overturned, falling upon the wo- man. The Indian was thrown to one side. his left arm broken above the elbow.
 Sheriff Hayden and others Lighted the wagon box. expecting to find the woman and babe hurt, but they found that it had fallen directly over them The woman was crouched upon the ground face down holding the babe in her arms. It was unhurt but the woman had received a scratch on the face. As soon as she was released she sprang to her feet laughing.
 The car struck the wagon near the front end and had dragged 1t a dis tance of twenty feet before it was brought to a standstill. The heart of the hor&r that was killed was found a distance of ten feet from the track. The rear truck of the car had been lifted from the track.
 The Indian and his wife were re- moved to the house of Mexican nearby and pr. Craig was sent for He pronounced the arm broken and took the patient to his office where the bone was set.

LITERARY NOTE.

A little story is being told of a rath- er pleasing incident which occurred as a result of the perusal of Anna Katha- rine Greens detective story. The May Or's Wife. by two young people in Chi cago.
 The gentleman in question having found the novel interesting. sent copy to a clever girl friend. who is more than attractive to him. The lady en- joyed the book and in writing her note of thanks and appreciation transcribed her message in the cipher used in the tale. On the envelope she wrote house and street number in plain English, but used the characters of the cipher in spelling her admirers name The young man lives on an avenue which crosses d business street that is large ly occupied by Chinese laundries and restaurants, and the mail carrier of the district. who delivers much matter to the Celestials. jumped to the conclu- sion that the peculiar-appearing name on this letter must be Chinese. so he took il to one of the laundrymen to be interpreted. Hop Ling was deeply in terested. but emphatically pronounced the letters absolutely unrelated to his language.
 The carrier then presented the note at the proper address. saying Here's a letter from some heather foreigner who has used your number by mistake
 Iknow it isn't for any of you people"
 Fortunately the lover himself was present and recognized the handwriting in the address. He claimed the mis- sive. and then devoted three days to digging out the hidden meaning of the delightful communication.

From the great city of New York. where scientists and investigators are eagerly watching the progress of in Ventions and spending millions of dol lars in the perfection of methods by which the masses may be benefited. comes the startling announcement that Professor Albert Postel. the great As trologer, has perfected a system by which he can foretell the principal events of a life. forewarn people of danger, point out the road to success and explain the cause Of failure in so many lives.
 The Professor says that he can ex- plain who your enemies are, tell you those persons in whom you can place confidence and from whom you may expect favors, name your lucky days, tell you what pitfalls to avoid what opportunities to grasp. advise you about your business and how to inn prove your condition physically. finan- cially and socially. His method is un- ike that of any other astrologer. and from the expressions of gratitude con- tained in the many thankful letters from his patrons. it is evident that much good is being accomplished by his work. The following are samples of the letters received by Professor Postel and go far toward showing that his Life Horoscopes are not only ac- curate, but are prepared with a view to guiding and benefiting those who apply to him for counsel.
 Effa M. Tryon writes: You are certainly the most wonderful astrolo- ger living. Every one of your predic- tiOns came true"
 MT Broad. real estate agent of Brandon. Can, in a recent letter to MT. Fostel. says: My horoscope is the best instrument of guidance that I have ever had put in my hands. I would not take q hundred dollars for the information you have given me"
 Another letter. from Miss Bergliot Horne, reads as follows: "I followed your advice and succeeded in securing a position at a much higher salary than I anticipated. I consider tbe hor- oscope worth hundreds of dollars to me"
 Charts and dials of strange design surround the Professor in his daily work of answering the correspondents and sending out readings to people in all parts of the world. From a glance at the features of Professor Postel. 'tis clear to be seen that he is a man who has a kindly feeling toward hu- manity, and his manner and conver- sation tend 10 prove that he is sin cere in his desire to be of real ben eft to his clients.
 Readers of this paper can obtain reading free of charge by addressing aletter to Professor Albert Postel, Dept. 656. No. 126 West 3ith street, New York \. Y. simply say you wish a reading of your life and be sure to state your birth date, sex and wheth CT married or single. Please enclose 10 cents (silver or stamps) to pay postage and clerical work, and the reading. also a copy of Prof. Postels interesting book Your Destiny Fore told" will be promptly sent. Tell your friends to send for a reading also.

John Forney Of Glendale is not one of the ranchers who are disposed to knock on the valley. Mir. Forney l, one of the most contented of the far mers and at the same time one of the most successful. These are conditions that are necessarily cO-existent. Mp. Forney has been in the valley for fif- teen years and is more than satisfied with the results that he has obtained by close attention to his ranch.
 He came here from Missouri and owns 20 acres near Glendale which he has kept in good condition. cared for himself and therefore enjoys all the benefits to be derived therefrom. He has employed but little additional la bor. being able to doymost of the nec- essary work on a ranch of that size. In fact much of his success is due not alone to the excellence of the soil. but to the fact that he did not have more than he could attend to properly. s-

FROM SHORE 10 SHORE
 HE'S LOOKED II OYER
And He Hasn't Been Able to Find a Better Place Than the Salt River Valley.

A. c. Utley returned yesterday from tour of California which included at tendance during the sessions of the irrigation congress as a delegate. Aside from the reclamation officials who travel everywhere, MT. Utley was about as well prepared as anybody in Sacramento to give the subject of ir- rigation a square deal for he could view with q vision as broad as the whole United States. Rhode Isl- ander by habit, persisted in for the greater part of long business carer. he became an AriZonian by choice and an irrigationist by conviction. He knows as well as anybody in Rhode Island can know and better than most of the people in that little rain soaked state know, just what irrigation means to Rhode Island as well as to Arizona. The effect is similar in that it means more business, but the intervening process are entirely different and MT
 Utley has studied the proposition from both ends of the slate. However, the congress is over and will be dismiss ed with the statement by NIT. Utley that it was a great occasion and that he had a good time. The Californians did all that was possible to do to en- certain their guests and planned many excursions by rail, automobile and otherwise. for their entertainment and for the advertising of California. Among the many trips enjoyed by MT. Utey was one excursion to Fresno and other points in the wonderful San Joaquin valley He saw thousands of acres of vineyards, orchards of

ALLIGAToRS IN ECUADOR.

4 new minor industry that is de- veloping in Ecuador is the killing and skinning of alligators. This industry was launched in 1903 by an American. who went to Guayaquil for the pur- pose of hunting down the myriads of alligators which abound in the River Guayas and it's tributaries. He was markedly successful. The business was temporarily interrupted in/the early part of 1905 by the untimely death of the American who had started the fun, but it was recently resumed. The total value of the alligator skins exported during the years 1903. 1904, 1905. and 1906 was s35,OOO. The skins shipped from Ecuador to this country last year weighed 5000 pounds, and were valued at S4S73.
