New York, July 1S.-(Special.) )-The ses- sion has been one of exceptional dullness, with very slight variations in prices. The weather map Is without flaw. and the trade is indifferent to the conditions, which prevailing prices appear to have discounted. No feature of interest ap- peared though any change would ccr- tainly provoke an advance.

TOAD tATS CHICKENS
 A MYSTERY SOLVED
s. D. Shumway Discovers New Obsta- cle to Poultry Industry.

Now, this isn't a fish story, nor it is not a real estate boosters story, but it is plain, straight facts. It shows what wonderful results can be obtain ed with our glorious climate and the aid of Mir Shumway's chickens.
 For some days past, it has been noticed around the Shumway home that the little chickens were fast dis appearing. At first this was laid to the usual enemy of the chickens, the hawk. However, the keenest vigilance failed to find the feathered robber who was despoiling the hen houses. Tester day morning, with wrath in his eye, MT. Shumway determined to watch for his chicken thief. He ensconed him self in one of the stables, and after little waiting. what was his unbounded surprise to find that a huge toad was in violent pursuit of what he had hoped would one day grace his table Not being content with seeing his toadship catch one chicken, MT. Shum- way waited until three had been dis patched. Then he wrecked dire ven geance on the despoiler of his farm yard. To come down to plain facts of the case, the toad, after being caught and killed was found to weight ex- actly five and one-half pounds, and 1t will be safe to say there will be no further depredations from that source

NEW RATE SCHEDULE FOR FLECTRIC SERVICE
Attorney Chalmers Speaks at Pur
 poses of Pacific Gas and Electric Co.

Attorney l.. H. Chalmers returned yesterday morning from the northern part of the territory, Mrs. Chalmers and daughter being established at Flagstaff for the summer. MT. Chal- mers spent several days at Oak Creek where he fingers with the trout for a short time every year. His success surpassed all his previous perform ances and it was with the greatest difficulty that he kept his catches within the laws limitations.
 As attorney and official of the Phoenix Gas and Electric company, Mir. Chalmers was asked regarding the purposes of the company with respect to rates after it shall begin to oper- ate under the government power con tract. MT. Chalmers replied:
 'The light company has in contemp- lation a new rate schedule which will be put in effect at the time it begins to use power obtained from the gov ernment, and to this end now has q gas and electric light man examining conditions in both eastern and west ern cities where conditions are more or less similar to those in Phoenix, with the view of arranging q schedule which will be fair and just both to the consumer of gas and electricity and to the producer of these commodi ties. It will be some time yet before we will be working under the govern .ment contract and we have many things take into consideration in mak- ing up a rate schedule. but we intend to have one that will give general public satisfaction.
 "The company is composed of men who wish to be well thought of by the people of Phoenix, who are work ing for the welfare of the community and woh in the past have always got along well with the public and who in tend still to be the friend of the public if straightforward fair dealing, such as they have practiced in the past and intend to continue in the future, van maintain their friendly relations with the community"

RETURNED MESAIIE
 MORE APPRECIATIVE
Draws Favorable Comparisons Be- tween Arizona and Southern Cal ifornia.

J. G. Spangler returned Monday evening from a months visit to Cor onado Beach, Los Angeles and vicin- ity MT. Spangler reports a very pleas ant vacation with his family, which is now at Long Beach and will not return to Mesa until the first of September.
 MT. Spangler is very glad to be at home, and considers that Mesa in par ticular, and the Salt River valley in general are far superior to California. Why" said MT. Spangler. they talk about their California, but there is one things sure. their land and products cannot beat Arizona. In Los Angeles they will sell you a hundred foot sand lot a hundred miles from no where and charge you $500 for it. You could not raise grasshoppers on it. Another thing, with all due difference to our sister state, southern California, is the only place I have ever seen where they would sell you a corner lot in the middle of the block. Now, I am not knocking California, but l do say that if one-half the money which has been expended in advertising southern Cal ifornia had been spent. say, in our own little valley. Mesa today would be a thriving city.
 "Our soil here is not only better, but there is a great deal more of it. I mean by that that in California, there is so much sand and made earth, while here in this fertile valley, the land stands ready for cultivation There are hundreds. yes, literally hundreds of unemployed men in Los Angeles to- day. They are lured there by the mar vicious tales and the wonderful adver- Using which the real estate men flood the east with. Nevertheless the time is coming in the not far distant future, when the Salt River valley and her re- sources will not. only be as well but better known than the now far famed southern California.
 'I am glad to be at home. and glad to be at work again, but gladder. still that home and the work lies in Mesa"

RAIN AND LIGHTNING
 YESTERDAY MORNING
Almost an Inch of Precipitation in
 Five Hours.

The south side was visited by the heaviest rain of the past tyo weeks yesterday morning between three and nine o'clock. The rain was accom- panied by a great deal of thunder and lightning but by less wind than usual The rain commenced about three o'clock and for several hours fell al- most without intermission. It was one of these soaking kind and was steady while it lasted Towards early fore noon it gradually grew lighter and by nine o'clock stopped entirely. Between three and nine almost an inch of wa ter fell. J. H. Cummings recorded .96 inch just across the river and the rain seemed to be quite general so that may be taken as the record in town also
 The electric light and the telephone service suffered some through the linghtning. One or two severe bolts put a dozen phones out of commission and the power was off until a few cases of trouble along the lines were repaired. Aside from these features, which are to be expected in a storm of this kind, no other damage was re ported and things were considerably dried up by night. Local weather sharps, however, say that the storm is not yet over and they predict more rain.

ARIZONA MINERALS
 YUKON EXPOSITION
Jas. Goodwin Has Further Corre- spondence On the Subject.

The correspondence between James Goodwin of Tempe and the chairman of the mines and mining committee of the Alaskan Yukon Pacific exposition was published a short time ago in The Republican. Yesterday MT Goodwin was in receipt of the following letter from George Jamme, chairman of that committee. He writes as follows:
 We have been hoping to hear from you in the matter of the Alaskan Yukon Pacific exposition; first to know if anything definite is being done in the way of collecting exhibits. and second, to have your suggestion regarding the display. We feel that the advice. of one who has had eX- perience in this line is most valuable. If there is any report covering the general industry of the territory we would like very much to have a copy. Thanking you in advance for your courtesy in this matter, we remain,
 ,Nery truly yours,
 GEO. JAIME, Chairman of Mine and Mining Com
 mittee"
 MT. Goodwin has had this matter on his mind lately and has been giving it a good deal of attention. He recently had a talk with the governor on the subject and the governor, while he favors the proposition as a whole, eX- pressed the opinion that it would be better to appoint one man to look af- ter the whole affair, rather than a commission on the project. MT. Good wins letter to the exposition which follows. explains his position. MT. Goodwin writes:
 MT. Geo. Jamme, Chairman of the
 Mines and Mining Committee.
 Seattle Wash.
 Dear Sir-I received yours of July 22nd, and also letter and a booklet from you some days ago. I had a talk with the governor of the territory about Arizona making an exhibit, and as l wrote you before. Arizona at the present time has no funds available for this purpose, but he thinks that the next legislature might make a small appropriation and he would fla vor one, and as I wrote before, I think that the boards of trade in the various mining towns will help out.
 T see by your booklet that you will classify the ores, and gather from this that you intend to put the vari- jus minerals in classes and exhibit by themselves. The governor agrees with me. that if we make an exhibit at you exhibition we would make 1t only under the condition that we be given floor space, and we would require about sixty feet square, and under no condition would we mix our minerals wiht minerals from other states.
 Tn making our exhibits We would arrange it something like our exhibit is arranged at the territory fair build ing now. Now if we can get the space l think that there is no doubt but what we will make as good a mineral exhi- bit as there will be at your exhibition.
 Let me know about the floor space
