chief man here for the past month and
a half. has orders to proceed to Guy
mon. Oklahoma. and will leave tonight.
Prof. Lopez. manager OF the Melon
Growers association. is closing up his
books. and will be through as soon as
the money for the last shipment is re-
ceived and distributed. The total ship
ments to Mr. Woods were 161 carloads
and In addition there were some four
teen carloads sent out locally. The
shipments to Chicago alone would
have gone over two hundred carloads
had it not been for the rains and
plant lice just when the late paintings
were ready TO pick. The average. while
not yet closely figured out. will be
about s1.00 net per crate to the grower

NEW ORCHARDS.

Several new fruit orchards have
been planted in this section within the
last two years. Among others is the
ten acre orchard of Sellers and Phelps.
1t is one of the prettiest ever seen in
the valley. containing peaches. pears.
plums and apricots. This orchard will
be three years old next season and will
bear its first fruit then. Judging from
the way the trees are growing, and
from the experience OF other fruit
growers on the mesa, the trees will
net their owners from six to eight dol
lars per tree next year. Mr.. Sellers.
who is a practical fruit man. says he
believes there is more money in fruit
than cantaloupes, If theImen who own
orchards will use Judgment in the Sc
lection Of trees and then properly care
for them.

BAKER GETS SIX MONTHS.

A large audience listened to the
hearing before Judge Guthrie of the
case against James Baker. charged
with threatening the lifei of John II.
Dobson. Many witnesses were called
and the case of threatening Dobson
was plainly made out. 1t was shown
that Baker threatened to kill him. and
later told two different parties that he
was going out to Dobsons place and
kill him. The court, at the close of the
evidence. reserved his decision until
two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
then ordered the defendant to give
bonds in the sum of five hundred dol
lars to keep the peace. failing which
to serve six months in the county jail.
Baker cannot give the bonds and will
have to spend the time in jail. provided
a lunacy charge is not made against
him.

that further, the railroad would take
pleasure in constructing a sidewalk
from Main street to the depot. There
had been a rumor to the effect that this
request would be made by the railroad
and several property owners near the
crossing on Mill Ave, namely. the L.
w. Blinn Co. represented by Theo.
Dickinson and T J. Parry, offered
strenuous objection to the proposed
change. They feel that such step
will be 4 detriment to their business
interests. The city attorney took the
stand that any action that would be of
benefit to the majority of the citizens
should be taken by the council and that
the two property owners mentioned
were merely in an unfortunate situa-
ton and would have to suffer the con-
sequences. The matter was argued
pro and con at some length. during
which time Mr.. Scott intimated that
while the company had no desire to do
So If the concession was rot granted.
1t would become necessary for the rail-
road to drop the idea of building where
IL contemplates, and would be obliged
to place its proposed now depot at a
point about a mile south of town. Not
having accurate plans and figures with
him, relative to the change in grade.
it was suggested that these figures and
calculations be obtained as soon as
possible and as soon as they are ready
another meeting of the council will be
called at which time the matter will
be given further consideration.
Another matter of considerable i'm
portance was taken up. 1t relates to
the sale of liquor TO Yaqui Indians. and
the action of the council Thursday
evening in regard TO it was the out
come of a scheme that was tried some
time ago. Saloon keepers were merely
requested to refrain from selling to the
Yaquis. Desired results were not
forthcoming and more stringent meas
ures were adopted by the city fathers.
The city attorney was instructed to
draw up an ordinance prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquor of any kind
to a Yaqui and the penalty for the
violation of this ordinance when passed
will be the revocation of the Offend
ers' license. In case a man. not a
saloon keeper, is convicted of selling to
a Yaqui or procuring liquor for one,
he will be dealt with in a manner that
will not soon be forgotten by him. The
members of the council are determined
to put an end to the trouble that has
been had here in the past through lot
Of drunken YaQuis.

Of the Clover Leaf Club and others, en-
joyed a rather novel and entertaining
party Thursday evening. 1t is known
as a progressive party and as might
be suspected from the title. the party
was not held at one particular place.
but it progressed from one home to
another throughout the evening. The
guests assembled at the Hough home,
where pickles and sandwiches were
served and engagements were made for
the next progression, none but those
in charge of the affair knowing where
the next stop would be made. II was at
the Leavell home, however, and here
fruits and salad We're served. From
there another jump was made to the
Griffen home, where more salad and
waters were disposed of. The next
stopping place was the Sturgeon home
where ice cream and cake were en-
joyed and the final destination of the
party was the Schmidt home where,
after dinner coffee was served and a
number of musical selections rendered.
