ARCTIC COTTON PLANT.
The Climax of Natures irony In the
Far North.

The Climax of Natures irony In the
Far North.
The climax of natures irony in the
arctic is the cotton plant, says the Cir
Gle. Wherever cotton blooms, declares
the miner, ice is not far below. One
may trudge for miles through fields Of
cotton, the white, silky tops swaying
defantly in the arctic breeze. The
blossom is silky, dainty, Elusive as the
down of our own yellow dandelion
From the beginning of June on until
August the tundra is white with the
cotton plant. Unlike the cotton of the
southern states, the fiber is short and
soft, having more of the texture of silk
than of cotton.
The cotton plant will In all probabil-
ity some day be the means of develop
ing an Alaskan industry giving en-
pioyment to thousands. Today, howev-
er, the cotton fields are purely decora-
tiye-a splendid sweep of immaculate
bloom In q bleak, timberless landscape
guarded by hills ever hung in wells Of
deepest purple. In great bouquets It is
occasionally met in miners shack,
while not few housewives gather the
cotton for pillow filing.
Throughout the cotton fields flowers
bloom in abnormal splendor, as be-
comes a country in which the sun
shines continuously during summers
voluptuous reign. 1t is an intoxicating
joy for the flower hunter to gather
great armfuls Of purple larkspur, blue
bells, monks head, primroSes, sweet
peas. beautiful purple and red asters
large as the most cultivated, lilies OF
the valley, baby breath. yellow arrow.
sage rose, pink and white arctic gera-
mum, crimson rhododendrons and 81
ant freweed, all growing on the hill
sides. To enumerate further is to re-
produce a florists catalogue.

DOGS IN BAGDaD.


6szsars Of the Town.
Bagdad Is alive with more or less
hungry dogs. How is 1t that such
packs OF furies 90 not loot the bazaars
of the town? The explanation Is as
simple as it is interesting. The Bag
dad shop fronts are absolutely open.
The goat and mutton earcasses are
hung where every dog that runs can
reach them. But time out Of mind
the first glance or dogs eye toward
forbidden dainties has been visited
with the swift descent on him of a
cudgei or Ratchet.
On one OF series Of marches paral-
lei with the Euphrates CHANGED to
meet a desert horde whose greyhounds
are In high repute Buying a brace
Of sapllngs. I took them on with me,
lodging them in the tent and doing
everything that was possible to make
them feel at home.
Surprising 10 relate, they obstinately
refused both food and water. The re-
mains Of a yenison pasty seemed az
once 10 attract anu TvIJ5s a pan
OF water appealed to them even more
strongly, but they would not go up
to 1t.
After time a Persian muleteer ex-
planned the mystery in twinkling.
No sooner did he upset the water and
toss the vlands on the ground before
them than the silky cared ones ran in
like Troians and made up in a few
moments for day's fasting.
Accustomed to lap from the river,
from irrigational channels and from
sheets of surface water and reared
among people who do not use tables,
they had been taught by>many buffet
to keep their noses out of cooking pots
and vessels of every description.
In Bagdad man and beast alike drink
of the great river, which also forms
the arterial common sewer OF the city,
the place where clothes are washed
and the ''Stygian wave" into which is
dragged every beast of burden when
1t is not left to lie where it has fallen.
The muddy bottom, with the water
ever reeeding. the exposed surfaces
thick with impurities and the tropical
sun sucking up all the infections"
must be a regular hotbed of miasma
and pestilence.
And yet, mirabile dictu, Bagdad is
not as eastern cities go, unhealthy.
But let the reader imagine to himself
what the Bagdad of the foregoing
slight description would be like with
out the dogs that scayenge it. Refuse
animal and vegetable matter is largely
disposed of by the dogs, in situ.-Nine-
teenth Century.

BOWEN TALKS ON
SUIT AGAINST
BOARD
States That Supervisors viii
Resist Efforts Of Clarke toI
Increase Assessments 0nI
Nonproducing Claims.

Extended reports have been print.
ed lately in regard to the action oil
Attorney General Clark in bringing
mandamus proceedings in the supreme
court to have the board of supervisors
OF Cochise county ordered to enter on
s.s5s5,s,ls.s5 a
OF the non-producing mining claims OF
this division OF the territory ordered
by the territorial board of equaIiza-
ton. j. ]. Bowen. a member of the
board, was seen by Review represen-
tative last evening and asked for a
statement in regard to the supervisors
view of the matter, and what they In
tended doing. In reply he said:
The board of supervisors most GER
tainly intends to fight the action
brought by the attorney general, and
feel that we are absolutely justified In
the position that we have taken. The
action means that the attorney gen
eral wants US to increase the valua-
ton of non-producing patented mining
claims which are being worked, from
S15 an acre at which we valued them,
to S45 an acre, and on non-producing
patented mining claims. which are not
being developed. from So to SIS. The
territorial board of equalization made
an arbitrary ruling that the valuation
given by us should be increased 200
per cent, thus affecting 700 claims in
Cochise county. and we refused.
TO raise the taxes in accordance
with the wishes of the equalizers,
would simply mean that We would
force every prospector who has a few
claims to give them up, after he had
worked for several years on them, and
is not getting one cent out of them. /
think any man will readily admit that
this is an absolute injustice. 1t is not
the large companies that will be af-
feeted by the raise; those people are
getting returns on their money and
can well afford it; but it is the pros
pector. who would have to stand the
burden.
AT the present time the assessed
valuation Of Cochise county is more
than S2O,O00,000 and we are paying
into the territorial treasury about
50 per cent more taxes than
any other county and three or four
times as much as most of them In
the last Four years the assessed val
uation has been raised from $4,000, 600
to S20,000,000. and even with all of
this taken into consideration they are
now making efforts to raise the valu-
alton about s400, 900 in this county and
trying to saddle this tax onto the lit
tie fellow who has few mining
claims.
The matter has been placed in the
hands of our attorney and / have not

WHEELER AFTER MAN
WHO shot WIFE
Ranger Captain Starts for
Catalina Mountain to Seek
Lockaber.
Especial % Reriew.l


BENSON, Nov. 7.-Captaln Harry
Wheeler of the Arizona Rangers. left
this city this morning for the Catilina
Mountains In search of Hiram Locka-
Der, who, on Tuesday afternoon. shot
his wife after a family quarrel in
their camp a short distance from this
point. The man used double-barrel-
ed shot gun. the discharge taking eff
feet in the woman's thigh.
The following account of the shoot
ing is from the Tucson Star:
Wounded and weak from loss of
1900,
into Tucson last night at Z o'clock on
work train from Irene, small sta
ton on the Southern Pacific line six
miles east of Vail. According to the
woman's story she was shot about
O'Clock yesterday By her husband at
a small camp several miles from
Irene. The shooting was done with a
shot gun, loaded with buckshot, and
lodged in the inner side of the left
thigh. tearing the flesh away for a
radius OF five or six inches.
No details of the shooting are
known here. except those given out by
the woman, and these are very
meager
The first that was known of the
shooting was the information given
in telegram which arrived here yes
terday afternoon, saying that the wo-
man would be brought in a few hours
later on a work train, which would
probably arrive here about z O'Clock
in the evening. DR.. Whedon was noti-
fled and met the train, taking charge
of the woman at once and dressing
the wound as soon as it could be dofse
When asked regarding the particu-
lars of the shooting last night Mrs.
Lockaber stated that her husband had
walked up to her while at their camp
near Irene about l o'clock yesterday
afternoon, carrying a gun in his hand.
As he drew close to her the man
raised the weapon TO his shoulder. cry
ing; Il am going TO shoot you" The
report of the gun followed Immediate
~ upon these words. The woman re-
gained consciousness a short time af-
ter the shooting, and although badly
wounded and bleeding dragged her
self over the intervening ground TO
the railroad station.
Upon her arrival at Irene the wo-
man was token in charge by a railroad
man there and given a considerable
quantity OF whisky as a stimulant
DR.. Whedon stated last night when
asked regarding the woman's condi-
ton by a Star representative, that al.
though painful, the wound was by no
means fatal, and that in his opinion
it would not be necessary to amputate
the injured limb unless blood poison
ing set in.
