At least 100 acres OF canta-
loupes will be planted this
year at Mesa, in the Salt riv-
CT valley near Phoenix, and
the totalacreage in the valley
will be about 1000. Rocky
Ford growers from Colorado,
are taking a great interest in
the valley because Of the fact
that the Arizona melons are
in the market several weeks
before the Colorado product.
Mesilla valley melons will al
so precede the Colorado mel
ons to market. There ought
to be a splendid opening in
this valley in the melon grow
ing business. This year an
experiment will be made on
quite a large scale, and the
success of it will doubtless en-
courage many farmers to try
it.-El Paso Herald.

A Story of Skunk Skins.

Arthur Robinson of Cross & Robin
son had a skin game worked upon him
Saturday and the perpetrators of it VIII
probably appear in court this morning
to explain the matter. young man
came into the store during the fore
noon Saturday and offered two skunk
skins for sale, which Mr.. Robinson
purchased for so cents On looking
over his purchase Mr. Robinson noticed
that the skunk skins looked strangely
like some he had in a box in the base
ment of the store and when he saw
they slightly eaten about the heads by
rats he was sure that they were his.
as he remembered that the rats had
got into the box of skins few days
before. Investigation showed that two
skins were missing from his box in the
cellar. He started out on the street
and after a chase succeeded in catch
ing the party who had sold him the
skins. He accused him of the larceny
of the skins. but this the young man
denied and said that he had purchased
them from Litchfield parties. This ex-
PLANTATION did not satisfy Mr.. Robinson
and the matter is being investigated
by City Marshal Cults.
