 HILDRETH & THOMPSON-Fen s. | Hildreth and Frank Thompson have | opened a land, mining and irrigation | law office in rooms 22O-221 In the ! Fleming building. They especially so- licit business before the U. $. land or . flee, the general land office and the department of the interior. As regis ter of the Prescott land office and receiver of the local land office in 1 Phoenix. MT Hildreth has had eight | years experience in contest matters ! and other technical cases that make familiarity with the procedure very desirable for clients. MT. Thompson has also had several years experience i in various branches of the land office
 work in California and in Arizona, serving all the way from clerk to spe- cial agent. They will also give a great deal of attention to patenting of mines and general work in connection with the public domain.
 E. H. SOTHERN WILL COME TO PHOENIX-There is little doubt that F. Fl Sothern, who is conceded by
 many to be the greatest actor on the
 American stage today since the death of Richard Mansfield, will soon be seen in Phoenix. Mir Joseph Wheelock. manager of the Elks' theater received
 a telegram from MT. SOtheTn's mana
 ger yesterday saying that January 9th was open. As MT. Sothern plays il Fl Paso on the 4th and in Tucson on
 the 5th, and in Los Angeles on the 7th. it was at first thought that it would be impossible to get him here
 for the 9th on account of railway connections. But Mir. Wheelock pro-
 poses to hire a special train to Mari copa which will catch the 12:30 a. m. to Los Angeles which will bring Mir. Sothern into Los Angeles at D. m, in
 time for his engagement there. On
 the American stage today there is no
 one who can contest the laurels won ny NIT. SOlItTn Mlln tIlc SlnBlt eNCtI-
 tion, perhaps, of David Warfield. But
 MT. Sothern's years of experience and
 infinite variety of roles would seem to
 place him above even that consum-
 mate actor. who since his first great
 success in the Music Master" has
 added but one other play to his rep
 ertoire.
 4. w. LAUTZ HOME-A w Lautz,
 assistant auditor, returned yesterday from oracle and Tucson. between which places he spent the last three weeks which constituted his summer vacation. and which was nipped short by the frost in the hills. At Oracle. MT. Lautz is known as a naturalist and sportsman second only to Theo- dore the First. He earned his title on a previous visit, when he hunted all day and brought into camp one poor lone quail. His object in bringing it in was not to nauseate the camp with an overplus of fresh meat, but to eX- hibit a peculiar thing about the bird | which was that some earlier hunter 1 had shot away one leg and the stump | had healed over perfectly. It did not | at the time occur to him that the | handicap of the bird would be used | against his ability as a marksman, but | it was. His prowess seems to have be- l come a folll-lore tale in those parts | Because he elected to eschew the big | hotel and board with a friend who is | the best cook in the world, the guests of the hotel and the old settlers de- clared it was merely because he could | shoot mt bineg hrt | find any cripples, so he was afraid to sight up in society. However. he had fine time and did not go hungry for game or anything else
 A STUDY IN CLIMATES AND PRODUCTS-Those who enjoy illus trated studies in the extremes of cli- mate, and those who like to know just what climate like that of the Salt River valley can do may spend a few | interesting minutes in front of the window of the Bartlett Heard coni- | pary's office. In one corner is seen a newspaper clipping of even date showing the temperatures in the northwest and giving the account of man freezing to death. Below it is a II handsome bouquet of roses from MT Heard's garden, such a one as would make any lady smile in any country in April or May. Then there are spec imens of Arizona grape fruit, Novem- Der oranges, pictures of grape vines and a display of alfalfa seed of the choicest kind grown on the Bartlett Heard ranch and the winner of prizes at the late fairs. There are some fine navel oranges shown and a number Of other interesting things. Probably the most wonderful exhibit is that of some lemons Of the Ponderosa vari- ety, grown by w. H. Wilky on his ranch. ten miles northwest of Phoenix. These lemons are larger than most grape fruit; in fact. are frequently mistaken for grape fruit by the ob- server. They weigh in the neighbor- hood of two pounds apiece and are certainly "ponderous." Mir. Wilky pre- sents his affidavit with the fruit. One Of the ideas suggested by this exhibit IS that of the broadening citrus belt.
