experienced. While he is informed that the hot season begins about the middle of June and continues for three or four months, the thermometer being as high as 12O degrees. yet the atmos- phere. is so free from humidity. that persons can work all day in the har- vest fields without discomfort; no such thing as sunstroke ever occurr- ing. and as a matter of fact. the heat is not so oppressive in this section as in the east. when the thermometer stands at 9S degrees. However. those who prefer a change can easily go a short distance north and enjoy the cool breezes of the forest-clad noun tains at an altitude of five thousand feet: or seek the balmy winds of the Pacific coast. which is only a nights ride distant
 FarminE.-Mr. Alexander says that from what he has ascertained by talk ing with the ranchmen. a large amount of money has been lost by the farm CTS on account of an insufficjency of water; and many persons in the past few years have become disgusted. sold out what they had in the way of farm ing interests. and either left the coun- try or entered some other business. Fortunately. the government has taken charge of the water supply. and as soon as the Tonto dam is completed. there will be an abundance of water This fact alone has advanced the price of land 50 to a per cent With the dam completed every foot of land under the canals will be rendered as productive as the most fertile lands Of the Nile or Mississippi bottoms, and the Salt River valley will be the great supply point for all agricultural pro ducts for two hundred miles square, feeding hundreds of thousands of peo- pc and stock that will populate this section in a few years.
 Cattle and sheep.-Mr. Alexander suggests that cattle and sheep raising will eventually be the principal occu- patton of the ranchmen when the land, under the abundance of water. begins to yield five crops per year. That the vast amount of alfalfa can be disposed of more profitably in this way than hy shipping it out of the valley, owing to the excessive railroad rates.
 Railroad bridge to be owned by county.-Mr. Alexander is of the opin- ion that the authorities of Maricopa county will make great mistake not to purchase the abandoned railroad bridge of the Santa Fe railroad across the Salt river at Tempe; provided 1t can be secured at reasonable price. With this bridge owned by the county, ,ud tba aSta bliSbmant of an alItOmO- bile route or electric road from Buck eye. via Glendale. Phoenix.

SWEDENeORG IN RUFElES AND

Swedenborg was a great deal in London. where he was known and ad- mired and had several good friends, but his small knowledge of English and the impeachment in his speech pre- cluded him from any real intimacy His slight figure with it's fine features and hazel eyes was well known in the ne.ghborhoOd of COldbath Fields where he lodged. and he was often seen stop ping talking to children. for whom he used to carry sweetmeats. He was all ways dressed in an old-fashioned suit, with lace ruffles and wore full-bot- toned wig, carrying a sword and a gOld-headed cane. On Christmas eve, TIT. he had stroke of apOplexy. and on March 29. 1772. the day he had foretold. he died at the house which he had himself named

SHOOTERS 10 GATHER
 All CAMP PERRY
Experts Will Contest in August for Trophies Hung Up by the Govern ment.

Washington. D. C., May 23.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- In August next something like a thou sand experts with the military rifle will assembly at Camp Perry, ohio, tc contest for the honored trophies offer ed by the United States government through the national board for the promotion of rifle practice and those offered by the National Rifle assO- citation. In addition there will be the state matches of the Ohio State Rifle association and many cash prizes in all matches. The rifle world owes much to the generous support given by congress which has recognized the advisability of encouraging practice with the military rifle and revolver as essential to the possession of a military reserve force. In addition to prOvid ing the principal trophy, congress gives the national board a sum of money yearly which is utilized for the purchase of medals, cash prizes and other expenses incidental to the work. The expenses of all the teams are also paid by the government indirectly as they are met from that portion of the fund for the support of the militia which is set aside for rifle practice. At present the government makes nc appropriation for the National Rifle association for the encouragement Of practice among civilians. but it is ex- pected this will be done some day which will give a great impetus to the sport.

This causes Melissa to forget herself for the moment and be- fore she realizes what she has done she gives away their secret; she warns the boys and Psyche but before they have time to fly the princess asks them to accompany her for a geolog- ical expedition which does not really extend beyond the gates of the estate but they hope to get a chance to steal away. then too, each boy has lost his heart-Florian to Melissa. Cycil to Lady Psyche and the prince is more than ever in love with this unap- proachable princess who however finds a great deal of pleasure in his com- pany though she believes him to be but a student like the others. She finally asks the prince to sing to her which he does. She shows surprise at his voice and when Cyril sings a tav- ern catch she makes the discovery they are men. Letters come saying the armies of the two kings are at their gates. Lady Blanch and others put the three out the gates and soon comes news of the princes death. This softens Ida-the prince returns unhurt and she finally consents to marry him much to Blanch's disgust

munition may be used. Instead of the winner being designated military cham pion as heretofore, that title will go to the contestant, who, having shot in the presidents match and the national individual, secures the highest aggre- gate score in both matches. A special prize and a letter from the president will go to the winner of this match.
 The National Rifle association, after a careful consideration of the situation appertaining to the holding of an in tercollegiate competition for the inter collegiate trophy, has decided that the time is not yet ripe for the holding of such a contest, with credit to the association and the colleges. There is a shortage of range facilities and con- sequent lack of practice; hence not enough interest is being taken in the contest by the colleges themselves. Rather than make a failure of such a competition this year it has been de- cided to postpone the match until 1908. By next year rifle shooting vii have been more generally promoted among the universities and colleges and more interest will likely be taken in such a contest.

Camp Perry will afford many at fractions of modern and historic inter est to the visiting riflemen. The range is in sight of the scene of the battle of Lake Erie where Commodore Perry. after whom the camp was named, re- ceived the surrender Of the British squadron. To the south is old Fort Stephenson, where Col. Cooghan and a handful of men supported by a single field pice., defeated the British. Not very far away are the old forts Meigs and Miami. the former American and the latter British. Johnson's Island, where many confederate veterans are buried, is to the east. It was from South Bass Island, now known as Put-in-B Bay that Perry set out to meet the British. Along the shore of the bay is a beautiful shaded park named in his honor and under its sward lie the remains of the gallant British and American officers and men who fell that day. A number of cannon used in the battle mark the spot.
 Other more modern places also at tract attention. The largest fish hatch cry in the United States is on this is land as are some celebrated caves. Here is also the largest summer hotel in the world from whose piazzas the tents of Camp Perry will be visible Connections between Put-in-Bay and the camp will be maintained by rail from the camp to Port Clinton and across the bay by steamer. Cedar Point. which claims the title of the Atlantic City of the West" is across Sandusky Bay. Cleveland, Toledo and other points are also near enough to be available for visitors desiring to make the trip. Altogether it seems the matches will be shot under very pleasant conditions.

So much discussion has been had over the relative efficiency of the .3S and the .45 caliber revolver. which has been apparently finally decided in fav- or of the larger caliber. that it is in- teresting to note the war department recently declined to favorably consider a device for causing the .3s caliber bull let to mushroom, thereby increasing it's stopping. power. To determine the troops of cavalry will be armed with the Colt automatic and three with the Savage. These automatic pistols pis- tols will be subjected to the same use as the Colt double action or the au- tomatic revolver is the best military arm. The practical test will last a year.
