product keeps coming. It is likely that there will be loaded today in Phoenix and the increase win be rapid for sometime. The hot weather is ripen- ing the cants very fast Expert Cad wallader will make a tour of the fields in a day or so and see just what the water conditions .are. It is admitted that there is some shortage and that the crop WEI be curtailed somewhat on that account but at this time all are quite certain that at the worst the growers will make good profits and in
 cidentally gain a lot of experience that will be valuable next year when there will be a more certain supply of water.
 One thing the tenderfoot will grieve at when he visits the shipping shed, is that all the incest looking and finest melons are thrown in the discard. That is because they are little too ripe to ship but just right for the table at present But it is cheaper to throw away a fine melon than to spoil a whole crate by shipping one too ripe. It is worth while to visit the shed in order to note the business like way in which everything is done, and the system devised for economy of time and certainty of best results. The crates after inspection are placed in the car in layers. each layer being covered by a thin strip of board or cleat on the front and back, one cieat reaching to the wall of the car on one side and the other to the wall on the other side. This prevents the boxes at oil hONE much the car is jared and the cleats also separate the boxes so there is per feet ventilation around each one. An area way is left in the center of the car and braces of 2x4 being placed on either side of it to hold the load in each end from slipping. The ice at either end cooIs the air which circu- lates freely all around the boxes.
 It has been noted by some that the cantaloupes eaten on the dining cars or in eastern hotels. Seem really better than those enjoyed by the home folks fresh from the field. MT. Pearson was asked if that were merely senti- mental or do the patrons elsewhere actually get better melons. He re- piled that where the picking and pack ing is perfectly done, they actually get better melons. not because they are better people or entitled to better melons but because the treatment makes theDl so. Melons picked at just the right stage. after they are well sugared but not yet fully ripe are placed warm in an iced car. In the day or two that follows. before the melons get thoroughly cooled off. chemical change takes place that adds to their sweetness and about the time they get to market they are really sweeter than a melon that ripens fully on the vines. and are also hard, firm and cold and in fine condition for the table But if they are a little too ripe they will spofi' or if they are pick ed little too green they lack some what in sweetness. That is what ma kes t so necessary to be careful in the inspection.

SHIPPING SHED A
 SCENE OF ACTIVITY
The Season Is Opening Up SpIendidly and the Melons Are Ripenine Fast.

II. E. Pearson the general represent atfve of Crutchfield and WoOlfolk, commission. merchants of Pittsburg, arrived here yesterday from Fl Cen tro in Imperial county, Cal, where he has been experimenting the shipment of cantaloupes since the season open ed. He was busy yesterday helping to organize the shipping business here and today will go to Glendale to begin the shipment of cants for the Glendale association. A car will be sent out tonight from Glendale and on Friday the Tempe association expects to make it's first shipment
 Asked about the Fl Centro situation Mir. Pearson said the growers there have practically settled labor troubles, which were magnified beyond warrant any way, They are doing quite well and seem to be well satisfied. Though shipments will continue for sometime yet the highest mark of the seasons crop has been reached and from this time on there will be fewer carloads sent out each day, though the decline has scarcely started yet. For while 1t was necessary to work both night and day to keep up with the process sicn though the work is now confined to daylight It is unsatisfactory to do night shipping if it can be avoided, one reason being that it is hard to judge the quality of the cantaloupes by anything except daylight. MT. Pearson expects to return to Fl Centro the last of the week.
 Yesterday the second day of the shipping season, was a lively one at the shipping Shed and there was a procession of farm wagons going and coming all day long. Two carloads were billed out last night instead of one as had been expected and the

COULDN'T STAY AwAY-A few

months ago Captain J. F. Smith left here for his boyhood home in Ten nessee to spend, as he said, the re- ,maining years of his long and useful life He has lived in the west almost ever since Christopher Columbus dis covered America, and was one of the first men to glory in the fame of Virginia City, New, and the early gold strikes in California. though he has been a resident of Arizona for many years past. Naturally his friends all predicted that he would soon return to Arizona for he couldn't stay away. He is back here again to remain in definitely, but insists it was not homesickness though he is not very sorry he had to come. The owners of the Phoenix mine of which he was in charge for a long time, sent him back to straighten up the tangle that followed the management of the re- cent leasers of the property.

ANOTHER DREADFUL MURDER
MYSTERY IN NEW YORK

New York. Dec. 15.-With only the
bloody finger prints OF the murderer
to assist them. the police are securing
the city for some trace of the man
who committed what now appears to
be one of the most battling crimes in
the city's criminal history. His vic
tim, the young woman whose body
was found in a padlocked and barri-
caded apartment at 337 East Eleventh
street, has not yet been identified, and
a thorough search of the rooms re-
vealed nothing (which viii aid the
police in their task. When an en-
trance was forced the woman's body,
with the head almost severed, was
lying on the blood-soaked bed. The
room was in confusion. Broken chairs
were scattered about and wearing APP
parel which had been removed from
an open trunk was strewn about the
room. Under the woman's body lay
a razor, its edge hacked and broken.
The condition Of the body indicated
that the woman had been dead not less
than two weeks. On the doorknob and
on the sheets were the finger prints
OF the murderer.
