 THE REAL THING
Tucson Paper Tells of Coming Base ball Tournament in Ancient Pueblo That Will Put It All Over any Pre- vious Efforts Along this Line.

baseball tournament with 5000 in prizes is being planned by Tucson low CTS of the game, according to the Citi- zen of that city, which says:
 Arrangements are now under way for what is expected to be the greatest section, to take place in this city in the latter part of September. President l.. A. Bushcll of the City league and Sec retary l.. II. Taylor are sure of guar antee of $5,000 from the business men and twice that sum if it is necessary. Three cash prizes will be offered, the first to be $1,000, the second $600 and the third $250.
 The management expects to sign teams from Trinidad, Albuquerque, Fl Paso, Bisbee, Cananea, Phoenix, Globe, Prescott, Humboldt and Yuma and un- doubtedly before the affair is pulled off several more teams will be added to the list. One can readily see from the list of teams above, that there has never been ball tournament of the same magnitude attempted in the west before, and baseball will not be the only attraction. There will be foot races, bronco busting, hose. races and every other imaginable form of sport that will amuse the home people and the hundreds of visitors who are bound to attend.
 For the benefit of the outside people who are desirous of witnessing the tour nament it is expected that excursion: will be run from every point of Arizona to this city. As stated above those who have the affair in charge are figuring on holding the tournament in the lat ter part of September, but if this dat in any way conflicts with the territoria fair dates, the games will be pulled of | earlier.
 The prizes are the largest ever of fered in this part of the country fol baseball and it goes without sayin, that they will attract the very bes baseball talent in the territory to Tue

INDIANS BUILD ROAD
Large Number from San Carlos Reser

A correspondent of the Phoenix Re publican writes from Kelvin as follows:
 Many of the Indians who have been employed in rebuilding the narrow gauge railroad between here and Ray have gone home. The majority of them were from the San Carlos reservation and held leaves of absence that are now expiring. The exodus was made the occasion of a "social event."
 Around cracking camp fire, tom tom beating, gathered old men, young bucks, old squaws, maidens and chil dren of all ages, even papooses strapped securely in "Indian baby baskets. The women attired in the bluest of blue and the reddest of red, and dec

Eac.s About Raising Beef.

Not many years ago the ponuerous
steer bred on our western prairies was
the best selling beef animal in the
world. 1t was wanted by exporters, by
butchers, by cattle connoisseurs and
by gourmands. To be in prime condi-
ton it was essential that 1t should be
four years old and weigh from 1000 to
1000 pounds. The demand now Is for
n younger and fatter animal, some
thing through which the porcelain
teeth of the age can sink without eff
fort. To be highly priced and priced
this young animal should be two years
old or under, should weigh 1000
pounds, must have been fed for the
market from the day it was calved and
should be something like PoIled An
gus or Hereford, because 1t will dress
more. The more blood such steer
has of these fashionable breeds and
the sooner after birth it is in condition
to be put on the market, the better for
the pockets of the breeders. The prof
its of the growers on such steers are
greater than on the old-style four-year-
olds. The two-year-old natures
sooner. sets fat quicker-the better the
blood the quicker 1t fattens, and while
1t weighs about thirty per cent less
than its predecessor. the pound cost Is
much less also. The breeder has the
expense of feed and care for only half
the time, and this is an item which
more than compensates for the lesser
weight. A steer can be fed to a weight
of 1 900 pounds cheaper than it can be
fed to a weight of 1000 pounds and al
falfa will do it.-Field and Farm.

Wyoming and Colorado Entries.

st. Louis.-Coal land entries in Col
oIado and Wyoming made by citizens
OF st. Louis through several Denver
promoters a year ago are being inves-
tigated by three federal secret service
agents from Washington. The agents
have gone from here to Milwaukee.
Entries for more than 5000 acres
were obtained here through Frank p.
Fay, connected with the Interstate
Electric Light and Power Company,
recently organized. Fay cooperated
with F. W. Keitel of Denver, a director
of the American Fuel and Iron Com
pany, who spent some time here ne
.6otiating the entries.
The land, Fay states, was never Sc
cured b. the company, being with
drawn from entry by Secretary Hitch
cock before the people who filed the
entries could perfect their claims.
According to Fay, this precludes
charges of criminal conspiracy.
Through former Sheriff Patrick II.
Clarke, fifteen or twenty of his depu-
ties last year made entries.

Assassination Of President.

Norfolk. Va.-That there was a well
formed plan to assassinate President,
Roosevelt at the opening of the James
town exposition and SO repeat in many
respects the national calamity that
threw a shadow over the exposition att
Buffalo, is now not denied.
1t is also known to the secret SER
vice that the man to cary out the de-.

lected. They know him as a desper-
ate and insane fanatic. who would not
hesitate at any crime. So carefully
we're the plans for assassination laid
that a method of escape for him after
the deed was committed, was devised.
When the first news OF the plot
leaked out the whole machinery of tho
secret service was put in motion. not
only to defeat the ends of the terror
lists. but also to prevent any overt act
thPt might cause alarm throughout tho
Nation.
The most elaborate precautiou wero
taken to protect the person of the CHIEF

1t was probably due to the excellent
police arrangements that no untoward
event happened to mar the presidents

nation that a notorious Chicago an

Died of Worry and seaslekness.

Sugar City, Colo.-Through the hold
ing of memorial services by Rev. c. s.
Steinmetz in honor of Mrs. Andrew
Rosenthal. deceased. at the Methodist
church, Sunday, a most pathetic case
has come to sight. The woman died at
sea.
She had started from Russia to this
country. accompanied by her husband,
their three children having preceded
them few weeks. From the time the
ship carrying the loved ones sailed the
mother worried continually. She feared
that the vessel on which}the children
embarked had gone down and said
that she had been told by aimysterious
voice that they had been lost.
The husbands efforts to console
Mrs. Rosenthal were unavailing and
the worry combined with sea sickness
caused her death when only four days
out The body was buried at sea and the
heart-broken husband and father con
tinued on his sorrowful journey. The
meeting of parent and children here
was most touching. The. little family
is almost crazed with grief.

Bomb Thrown at President.

Guatemala City, Guatemala.-An at.
tempt was made on the life Of Presi-
dent Estrada Cabrera. While out driv-
ing a dynamite bomb was exploded
near his carriage, killing the horses
and woundlng General Crellana, the
chief of STAFF. The calmness OF the
President, who was not injured, Is uni
versally commended and the would-be
assassins are condemned on all sides.
The strong feeling against Guate-
mala, arising from the assassination
of ex-President Barillas, has been
heightened by the report from Guate.
mala City that the United States and
Mexican legations there have been
stoned by a mob of several hundred
men, instigated by agents of President
Manuel Estrada Cabrera of Guatemala.
There is evidently a strong inclination
to give credence to the report and no
official denial has been made, although
the federal authorities refuse to con
firm it. ... q
Mexican troops are being modified
on the Guatemalan frontier. which is
believed to be highly significant, al
though the War Department has de-
clared that the mobilization of troops
is nothing more than move to insure
strict neutrality.
Reports are also current here that
Minister Gamboa. representing Mexico
in Guatemala. has left that country ana
crossed into Mexican territory as the re-
suit of friction with Cabrera's govern
ment, growing out Of kilograms sent

1t is learned that the Nicaraguans
are still occupying the Honduras coast
towns, being afraid to leave on account

gents, who have been their allies. The
British cruiser Invincible has arrived

Home Canning tomatoes.

Nearly every farmer can operate
small canning establishment on his
farm and from 1t realize considerable
profit at a time of the year when there
is but little money coming in.
A number of farmers in the South
have their own canning apparatus,
which does not cost great deal and
with which a large amount of toma-
toes, corn, pickles, peas, beans, and
sweet potatoes may be preserved. In
some of the larger cities there Is
growing demand for home-canned
goods. 1t is very simple matter to
can vegetables when one has his own
outfit. Those who have tried the work
saw that not to exceed ten per cent. of
the canned products will spoil.
Where the farmer cannot afford 1t or
is afraid to invest in a canning outfit,
good results may be obtained by put
ting I'D tomatoes in the ordinary pint
and quart glass jars. These goods
usually sell for more than enough ad-
ditional to pay the extra cost of the
lars, The writer has seen quarts or
tomatoes in glass jars quoted at %
cents. Figuring the cost of the jars at
cents and the profit TO the dealer and
TRANSPORTATION charges at Z cents,
there is a balance of IL cents LETT on
each jar for the Gamer. or more than
So per bushel for the tomatoes neces-
sary to fill the jars. 1t may cost lit
tie additional to prepare boxes in which
to ship the glass jars after they are
filed. but 10 cents per dozen will more
than cover this expense. The filled
Jars can be shipped with no greater
loss than is sustained when the emp
ties are shipped to your local dealer.
Nearly all of the whole sale grocery
establishments are glad to receive
home-canned stuff from reliable farm
ers. If a sample of the product to be
put out is sent the wholesaler, and he
is assured that the Gamer will deliver
the goods as agreed, there will be little
trouble experienced in finding sale.
II arrangements cannot be made with
the wholesale grocers, try the city
grocer Many times more prohtaDle
sale can be made by passing over the
heads of the middle men and whole
salers. The writer knows an Iowa
farmer who learned the names of the
city grocers through the advertising
columns of the daily papers and ar
ranged with one of the largest stores
to furnish it with his entire product
of home-canned tomatoes. Last year he
raised nearly two acres of tomatoes
and canned and sold nearly $500
worth. The care and attention given
the crop and the canning were at a
time of the year when they did not ma
terially conflict with other work, so
that the money received from this
source was nearly clear profit.
Those who desire to try this method
of marketing tomatoes should start
with one-fourth of an acre or less, as
an experiment. OF course, the prohts
will not be so much, but the grower
should learn the details of the business
before branching out into larger fields

New York.-After a career that has
been marked by more spectacular ups
and downs than has ever fallen to the
lot of any man in Wall street, John
w. Gates has decided to retire to tho
simple life. With him he takes his
son. Charles G.. Gates. who, in appear
ence and manner. greatly resembles
his distinguished father.
Their going marks the closing out
of the great brokerage house of
Charles G. Gates & Co., which has been
for moro than year the storm CEN
ter of the hottest financial campaign
ing OF the western world. The loss
of millions-Wall street estimates
that amount at not more than 100000
OOO-since the beginning Of the pres
emit year, is believed to be the chief
reason for the disappearance of John
w. Gates.
1t must not be imagined for mo-
ment that John W. Gates is bankrupt.
It is believed that he can easily count
on 100000 or 100000 saved from
the disaster, but that is almost broke
for Wall street. Those who know
him best and who may be safely taken
at their word, say that the famous
rlunger is still 100000 to the good.
and that this amount is invested in
gilt-edged securities. That Gates is
loser is evidenced by the fact that In
the face of constantly falling market
he has been a consistent bull. Tho
great brokerage house of which he has
been the principal figure through all
the recent slump kept up an optimistic
tone in their letters of advice, and 1t
is easy to see that il they followed
them themselves they went sadly to
the bad.

statements made in an article on 1.-The

new his expressions on the subject
of race suicide.
This writer states clearly" says the
President, that 1t is an erroneous idea
to assume that the average family
should have larger number of healthy
children than the present birth rate
showed. The vital statistics of state
like Massachusetts shows that there
the average native American family OF
native American descent has so few
children that the birth rate has fallen
below the death rate. This of course.
means race suicide, and it ought to be
understood that. if after while there
are no children to go to school the
question of their health in school
would not even be academic"
Continuing, Mr.. Roosevelt says:

tion is to be found in the fact that the
well-to-do families tend to die out;
there results. in consequence, ten
