TWO NOTABLE SIGNS
 FOR A LOCAL BANK
H. w. Taffe Setting a Standard It Will Be Hard For Anybody to aPss.

In 9 day or two there will be dis played on the Phoenix National bank two Of the finest, most attractive and undoubtedly the most expensive signs ever erected in this city by any busi- ness institution. The cost of the signs is not made public but anyone who sees them will N1now in an instant that they cost enough to be good and in fact more money than some people have for their entire business capi- tai. The signs are at present in the paint shop of Harry W. Taffe on Adams street and MT. Taffe expects to put them in place on Thursday if all goes well.
 one of the signs, the smaller one. reaches clear across the Washington street end of the Fleming block which the bank occupies, is two and a half feet wide and forty feet long The larger sign will be placed on the First avenue side of the building and will extend clear from the doorway to the elevator entrance in the rear of the bank, so the quarters occupied by the bank will be entirely sur rounded by the signs on the street sides of the building, except over the corner doorway. This First avenue sign is four feet wide and sixty-f four feet long
 The sign boards were constructed by Claude Cisney and are made of match ed tongue and groove lumber, well seasoned and as substantially put to- gether as possible. All the wood work was submitted to repeated coats of red lead and paint, until the lumber was as thoroughly protected as pos sible. Then the surface was finished with black sand by Mir. Taffe making fine background to contrast with the huge gold letters which form the words Phoenix National Bank"
 The letters are made of wood thoroughly seasoned and put together in sections by manufacturing firm that does nothing else and takes every precaution against the possible split ting or checking of the wood After the carved wooden letters were nailed in place. Mir. Taffe gave them the best possible treatment of paint and oil and finally a dressing of gold leaf. 24 fine, the same as used in window glass decoration. The letters are Roman and no letter could be more plain or in clearer contrast than these huge gold letters on a black background. In the larger sign the letters are exact ly two feet tall and in the smaller one fifteen inches.

THE GAME HOG.

Complaint is made by local sports men that certain Phoenix parties to- gether with others from out side of the territory who are visiting here, are playing the part of the game hog and are killing off south side white wings in q deplorahle manner. One party of this caliber spent several days the past week in the vicinity of the Wat son ranch south of town. The party established a camp there and took several days to the sport. The result was that the birds were slaughtered by the hundreds. Worse than that, it is reported that the birds were not killed for home consumption, but that several hundred were shipped to Calif- ornia. Tn many states and territories there is a law that prohibits the kill ing of wild game of any kind and sending it out of the state or territory If -there is no such law in Arizona, there certainly should be.

THE cANTALoUPE SEASON.

Little things are happening on all side that bear witness to the fact that the cantaloupe season is close at hand. Every day farmers may be seen taking out big loads of crates and work has now been started on a shipping shed and platform at the creamery siding. Shipments will be made from this point this year instead of from the old Santa Fe depot. The new shipping place will be much bet ter for several reasons. In the first place it is near the icing point. A car can be iced ten minutes before it Is loaded. Then too, it is more cen trally located for the shippers. It is expected now that the season will not properly begin before the first week in July from this point few cants, however, are on the local market at the present time and have been for several days, J. D. Cooper having the honor of putting the first on the market in commercial quantities A cant of reasonable size at the present time is quoted at ten cents. but within a couple of weeks they will be on tho market at that much per dozen.

WATER GETTING Low-The dis

charge of water in the river yesterday was 5000 inches less than on the same date enc year ago. Moreover there was no big rise in May as there was a year ego when the Arizona dam went out, and which furnished water for general soaking up. The. proportion of interest in the water between the north and south side is about to 3. so that the north side is therefore about 5000 inches short of the supply a year ago. This would have been a fine year to have had the Roosevelt dam finished and in commission, so some of the water that slipped away last spring could have been saved. There is no desire to create any alarm but it is timely to say that people should use water as economically as possible from now en-
