retaliate by putting prohibitive duties

GAVE CREEK NEWS
 SHARING SEASON ON
Vanderwaiker's Flocks Are Now Be- ing Treated and the Machine Works Better Than Ever.

Cave Creek, AriZ., Jan. IS. Special correspondence of The Republican,. Sheap shearing began at Houek's sta tion this morning on the flock of the Vanderwalker Bros. These men be- lieye that their sheep are in a slightly better condition than last year: also that the wool is better as to weight, quality and cleanness. The feed close by is insufficient so that the flocks have to be kept at some distance. How ever the recent rains. are expected to freshen up the range soon. This flock is fair average of all the transient sheep that are to be sheared here This plant for it's size. is certainly the best machine plant in the territory. Charley Prahl, the machinist has been at work on it for near two weeks and it starts up this morning without the usual preliminary break downs, twen ty-five expert machine shearers began work this morning They are a fine lot of young men, and in perfect con- dition to stand their jobs for the sea son.
 As to mining there is a continua- ton of work at the Grand Traverse and Ben Hur. The Copper Top Co. has contractors at work on some claims.
 MT. Donald, peresident of the Orien tai O., was here one day this week. He says that he hopes to resume work soon. Louis Dugas is in charge for the present. MT. Dugas is expect ing Col. Dravo to return soon from the Philippines. and come here on flying trip. Col Dravo is not quite half way in his fifties and is high up in the list of colenels of the regular army. He will. ere long attain to his brigadier general stars, and if there be active service, he is apt to be a major gen. eral long before he reaches the age of retirement. Col Dravo is surely the handsomest colonel of the army, and the best preserved mentally and phy- sioally, and he has the intellect as well as the military education to make good in any part of the service. and in any emergency. Old timers will recall him as a lieutenant af Ft. McDowell over twenty years ago. He has held onto, and had developed, rich mining claims on Gold Hill. When the next war oc- CUTS. the name of Major General Dravo will be prominent.

THE PALMlSTA" PALMER" AS WELL AS S0OlHSAYFR
A Phoenix Woman Who Dived Into the Unknown in Search of the un- knowable.

Phoenix has for several days been short on palmist, but the loss has not been so serious that tl,e board of trade has found it necessary yet to take the matter up and advertise for a success or Perhaps. now that the winter is so nearly over, no action will be taken in the matter for this season.
 The missing oalmist was a rather attractive woman and soon established a fair clientele in spite of the financial depression. She was making money in that rapid manner frequently describ ed as hand orer fist but still 1t was coming too slow to suit her. One of her clients complained that ofter one of the seances she missed a diamond. and another, five days after an in- terview. found herself short a roll of bills mounting to sl30.
 Her story of her loss throws a glare of light upon the palmist business. She said that for some time she had been burdened with wish the nature of which she did not disclose to the officer to whom she subsequently, made complaint. She said that she called on the palmist to whom she had con- fided many of her troubles and told her in a general way about this wish. The palmist said that it was one of the easiest things connected with the palmist profession 10 realize wishes. She produced little buckskin bag and told her client to take it home sew up s130 in bills in it and in a day or two to bring it to her. Why the cabalistic figure of s13O was decided upon has
 
 the palmist was sizing her clients pile.
 The directions were religiously car rled out and the woman with the wish and the buclskin bag returned 10 the palmist who took the bag and placed it fervently against the forehead of her client Having held it there for short time and uttered an incantation, she removed the bag, handed it to her client and told her 10 pin it next to her heart and on no account to remove it before the expiration of five days. If these instructions should be faith fully carried out the client should have her wish; the slightest deviation how ever, would lead to certain failure.
 The client went home. confident that at the end cs five days she would be a happy woman, and was happy any how. as any woman would be, wearing s130 under chemise next to her heart. The buekskin bag itself was warming At midnight of the fifth day. the client confident that her wish was now cinched. took off the bag and opened it. It was filled with roll of papers about the size of bank bills. The palm ist was also a palmer" The client called the next morning to recover the

It has been sort of be- tween seasons for tourists and the garages expect to do a better business in February and increasing ratio dur ing the spring months.
 There seems to be much encourage ment given the building of fine road to Castle Hot Springs and the auto ists look forward to that highway with considerable interest. The more points of note for scenic granduer and worth the time of the sight seers, the more attractions placed within easy acces- sibility for the tourist and the winter resident. the more of the latter class possessing money will choose Phoenix as a place for a few months sojourn away from the blizzards of the east.

Mir. Kothe says the subscription cana paign Is coming along nicely and the people. now that they have a chance to see the pictures, are arousing to this fine opportunity for advertising as well as for securing some good pict- ures and papers free.
 Wesley Hill who is associated with MT. Kothe Is doing some good work and has just returned from Granite Reef where he took a good list of new subscriptions and disposed of many pictures. Dwight B. Heard. who went to the Cattlemen's convention, also took along a full set of the pictures for use there and it is certain that the leading cattlemen of the west have al- ready seen them. H. J. McCIung of the Phoenix National Bank Is also greatly enthused over this means of publicity and has also gone to Colo rado. equipped with a full set Of the pictures. The Phoenix and Mar1copa county board of trade will shortly have a selection of them on display. Messrs. Landis and Goldsworthy are interest ed and announce that they will take the matter up with the two railroads with which they are connected and en- deavor to secure the placing of these pictures in their eastern offices, where they may be seen by thousands of possible settlers in the west
 The value of these pictures, lies in attracting attention if seen in distant parts ~-1 = prompting people to make inquiry. while if shown here, to strangers. they form an excellent text from which the exhibitor can proceed to set forth the merits of this wonder ful country A. those who have already acquired an interest in things by look ing at the pictures.

MANY GALL 10 StE
 PANORAMA PICTURES
Additional Sets Will be on Exhibition
 Here in Short Time.

The big picture display in the Com- mercial hotel. made by the Orchard & Farm, or rather the Calkins Syndicate is attracting a great deal of attention. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 people have called there to see the big panoramic pictures of this valley and upper Salt river, including the dam site and every visitor goes away enthused.
 As mentioned before, two of these handsome pictures go with every club subscription to Orchard & Farm and The Republican, the selection to be made out of twenty eight of the finest pictures ever seen in any country. These are nice for framing and hang ing anywhere, but are designed es- pecially for use in advertising this valley. Residents are urged to send the papers to their friends and also one or more pictures, to be displayed in other cities, there being no doubt but this constant publicity will do more than can be estimated, to spread a good knowledge of this country else where.
 A duplicate set of these pictures, as we'll as the few not yet received of the original series. was shipped from Los Angeles Monday and will be here in a few days, when they will be displayed in the Hotel Adams. It is also under stooS hat another set has been spoken for ,y ihe Ford hotel, so that Tn a short time they may be seen in all three of the leading hotels of the city.

 The following is an extract from the Chicago Daily Tribune:
 The George Hamlin Sunday after noon concert yesterday at the Grand opera house possessed especial interest because of serving to bring before the public for the first time Max Heinrich in the capacity of composer. The esteemed baritone was responsible for the musical setting of melodrama and four songs the programme con- tained-"Magdalena or the Spanish Duel" by J. F. Waller: Tennyson's Here Often When a Cnild," and a sonnet and two German poems, "Un- ergrundliche Liebe" and 'Wieder," by authors whose names were not given.
 The Waller poem is fairly familiar. It tells the story of a love affair one Peter Brown had with a fair lady of Seville" how he wooed her, how he was surprised by some Spanish cava- Her of lengthy cognomen, how he killed the intruder in a duel, and how he af- terwards muses over what became of the woman in the case. IL is an inter- esting enough tale, not making any pretense at being great poetry, but serving as an agreeable foundation for such a melodrama as MT. Heinrich has desired to construct. The musical set ting is melodious, filled with the rhythms and effects associated in pop ular estimation with the music of Spain, and neatly and effectively made. The composer has selected with good judgment the portions of the poem best suited to musical illustra- tion. and has succeeded where needed in creating the desired atmosphere" and in at least one portion-the re- cital of the Spanish gentleman's name has suggested cleverly the humor of the situation. A Spanish song intro- duced in the course of the poem is particularly attractive as given by MT. Heinrich, and is the best part of the melodrama.
 Mir. Heinrich recited the melodram with admirable skill. and even costum ed for the part. wearing a lounging coat as a suggestion that MT. Peter Brown, who did the talking. was in his room while musing on the days of long ago.-The Daily Tribune, Oct 26. 1903. Al S
