Visitors in the city who are interested will be shown over the surrounding country. Many of the finest ranches in the vicinity such as the B. A. Fowler ranch. will be visited. Orange, lemon and olive groves will be shown. Another sight will be the apple orchards designed in a measure to cOntrOvert the popu- lar opinion that apples cannot be raised with profit in the valley. It will not be possible to show the vis- itors growing cantaloupes as they have all been gathered, but the crop raised this year and the prices ob tained for it will be explained. Fields of corn and alfalfa and other pro- ducts of the valley will be among the sights. great deal of interest is being displayed in the barbecue and the fact that it is entirely free will insure a large attenadnce.

SET OF FALSE TEETH
 CLAIMED BY OWNER
THEY WERE SNEEZED OUT IN A
 RESTAURANT.
The Deductions of Local Sherlock Were All Connected but One and That Is Satisfactorily Explained.

The set of false teeth found in a garbage pail when the chickens were being fed at the Phoenix poultry yard have been restored to their owner through the efficient work of a local follower of deductive methods as practiced by the late Sherlock Holmes, and also through the publicity given these deductions in The Republican.
 Monday afternoon a prominent citi- zen of Phoenix called at the poultry yard and asked to see Connie Doyle. F. O. PaulSer, who conducts the yard, explained that Mir. Doyle did not live there
 T saw something in The Republi- can about MT Doyle and a set of false teeth" he said bashfully.
 "Oh. I see,' said MT. Paulger, as he reached for the historic set behind the clock on the mantel piece If you can establish your ownership I will gladly part with them
 That's easy. They are number hines and nobody else can wear them that is.' he explained, they would be number hines if they were shoes. I sort of hated to come after them-it seemed SD silly to lose set of teeth like losing a bass drum" he paused in his explanation to blow his nose; but I knew you had 'em when l read The Republican
 By the way" asked MT Paulger, are you a sheep herder?"
 Never tended sheep in my life, :" was the tart answer I've herded cattle some. but no sheep for me"
 How did you lose your teeth?'
 Caught a cold and sneezed them out in the Annheuser restaurant and forgot to pick 'em up."
 That is a pretty nice set Where did you get them?"
 "Out in St Louis-they cost me a Wad. too"
 When the local student of Doyle leading his bull pup, Watson" drop ped into The Republican office last night and sank languidly into a chair it was explained that all of his deduc- tions about the teeth were correct ex- cept one. He displayed no interest till told that the man who lost the teeth was not a sheep herder.
 Most extror'nry," he exclaimed. sit ting erect, as he puffed vigorously at his pipe. However. it is, as you know. one of the corallaries of the law of probabilities that many improbable things will happen. Everything point

 Thanking you for your kindness, l beg to remain,
 Very truly,

 John h. Rogers died in Phoenix on November fl of consumption and at the time of his death was being cared for by Mrs Hodges. The police can not deliver the effects to the claimant until they are advised as to the right of ownership she may have. There Is also due the deceased three months pension money from the government, for his services in the Twenty third Kansas regiment. but this will not be paid until the authorities are satisfied that the claimant is the wife or near est relative of the deceeased.
 The other letter was received from J. H. Scherer of Nashville, Tenn, ask ing the assistance of the police in To- eating her two boys who left home some months ago. This letter is given below and if any who read it know of the whereabouts of the boys they will favor the widowed mother by giving information which will assist her in locating them and bringing them back home:
 Chief of Police. Phoenix, Ariz:
 Dear Sir:-I am writing you to beg of you to make some inquiries for me. I want you to see if you can find Miller and Karl Scherer, two young men, my sons, that were in Phoenix three months ago. The last time we heard from them they were at work at some Indian school, at or near Phoenix. One of them went tc Tempe and worked there about three weeks. They left here with one George Dick ems. but how far he went with them I don't know, as they never mentioned his being with them in any of the let they spoke of coming home in two weeks. It was on July :, 1908. Now, if you please. I hope for his mothers sake, you will learn what you can of them, where they are, or if they start ed home as they meant Please get me all the information you can and I will be under obligations to you for l am too poor to employ any other agency.
 Hoping to hear from you soon, am
 Respectfully yours.

strokes. 1t was then that the entire
crew quit work and sat detected at
