A9pl indian Traditions.

The Hopi Indians OF Arizona have no

bOundicSS store of oral traditions,
which are handed down unimpaired 10
each generation In turn and which
form the guiding principle of their re-
ligious belief and Of their whOle life.

Grovvinn Flowers In Winter,

A long run of dark days in winter Is
bad for the florists. 1t matters little
how cold the weather Is. provided
there Is sunshine. for the heat can al
ways be maintained to the proper
point, and with sunshine flowers W
bloom just as freely when the ther-
mOmeter shows an outdoor tempera-
ture OF zero as at the freezing poi :,
though OF course more money must be
spent for coal. But when, day after
day. for weeks nj time. clouds over
hang the sky, nothing will grow as II
should. The carnatiOn buds develop
slowly until they are half open and
wait for sunshine, and II II does not
come In four or five days the blooms
decay. SO also 1t is with callas and
roses. They Will open halfway, then,
without sunlight, will quickly spoil

continuously from a spout high up In

water from spring was conducted
through shaft, and the supply pipe

in the ground. After a short time the
trunk rooted, branches followed, and

STANDARD DEAL NOW
NEXT ON THE SLATE
Return of Samuel Newhouse
Gives Impetus to This
Bingham Deal.

AS those who have had the conduct
OF the consolidation Of the Bingham
Standard Copper and the Bingham Cen
trail Companies within their hands were
awaiting the return Of Samuel Ne"
house from the east before placing the
finishing touches upon the deal, his ar
rival has given an impetus TO all MAY
ters appertaiping TO this transaction
This fact was reflected on Friday up
on the local mining exchange IN the
Standard Copper stock, which has been
at grievously low level for several
weeks past. There were very fe"
brokers on tho floor without an order
10 buy any amount from a thousand
TO five thousand shares, and quite a
great deal of the stock passed hands at
considerably higher prices than Tor
some time,
In the absence Of a better e1plana-
tion for this desire to round up stan.
dard stock, it was taken for granted
that those on the inside want TO bring
the consolidation or rather coalition to
a speedy termination. All details OF
this transaction have been agreed up
on by the stockholders of each COM
pany concerned, and about all that re-
mains TO be done is TO round up the
stock for transfer to the new organiza
tion. 1t is pity that the stock of the
Standard Copper company failed to
show such signs of life earlier in the
game There are few stocks dealt in
on the local board that have given so
many hard raps, and generally, TO local
investors.
great many who purchased the
stock on margins at q dollar, or even
higher, have been squeezed out grad,
ually as the stock dropped to around
A cents, OF even less. The financial
loss to many, therefore, has been Sc.
we're, and mostly to those who could
i'll afford the drain. II begins TO look
now, however, that better things arc in
store for stockholders.
