Tekonsha, Mich.-The members Of
the Presbyterian church of this village
have for some months been growing
FESTIVE under the criticism Of their
pastor, Rev. William ,McPheters. The
last straw came when, in the course
Of sermon last Sunday, he referred
to the young women of the congrega-

This was too much, and a meeting of
the congregation was called. Tho the
year for which Mr.. McPheters was
engaged was almost up, the congrega-
ton decided unanimously to have no
more of him.. Instead he will be paid
the remainder of his years salary and
the church doors closed until another
pastor can be secured.

she thrust it into the pocket of her
opera cloak. A day or two later Mrs.
Little gave the cloak to her maid, hav-
ing no further use for it. The maid,
not being able to wear the cloak, sold
it to an establishment where Women's
cast-off clothes are dealt in.
A day or two ago the woman who
runs the clothes shop got the cloak
out of basket, where it had been
thrown with other garments, for the
purpose of renovating it. In the pock-
ct she found the string of pearls. She
thought at first they were imitation,
and when a jeweler next door told her
their value she nearly tainted.
Consultation Of the books of the
shop showed the name of the maid
from whom the cloak had been pur-
chased, and the jewels were returned
to Mrs. Little, who, believing them
safely locked up in her jewel case, had
not missed them.

MANlSTEE RANCH.

One of the best and most highly inn
 proved ranches in this valley of splen- did farm properties is the Manistee
 ranch near Glendale The present
 owner. Mir. Louis Sands of Manistee,
 Michigan, bought the place about one
 year ago and began at once to fix it
 up for a breeding ranch for pure bred
 stock. He has on the place 1000 fine
 ewes and 200 head of cattle The
 place is all in alfalfa. grain only being raised as an alternating crop. Mir Sands has been engaged in raising pure bred stock for several years, he having conducted a stock farm in
 Michigan. which he still owns. before he came to Arizona. When he was asked by a representative of The Re- publican. as to what influenced him. in coming here and making the invest ment he did. he said: T would rather
 have 20 acres of land in this valley Michigan, Ohio. Indiana or Illinois. It will produce q larger return with less hard work. IL costs in Michigan from $4G.00 to s50.00 to winter an animal, while here it does not cost to exceed $12.00. If you will take the difference between S12.O0 and S5O.O0 per year on a four year old steer you can see the advantage that the Arizona cattleman enjoys over the man in the same busi- ness in Michigan. And this is not all of the advantages. Here the animal is made ready for the market on the same pasture on which you winter him, while in Michigan. he will have to be fed many bushels of grain be- fore he is ready for the slaughter house. There is no place in the world where a farmer with a little capital

 The grape fruit tree is hardier than the orange and will stand some things that would hurt the orange tree.
 The conditions around the foot hills of the valley are ideal for the raising of either fruit and the man planting , an orchard can take his choice.
 LEMONS.
 For the first time in the history of the valley, a shipment of lemons was sent east this year and were sold at auction, bringing the largest price of any sale that day. The consignee i'm mediately wired the Association stating that the lemons were exceedingly fine and asked for another cor. There were only a few car loads raised in the val ley but the handsome returns realized this year ought to materially increase the acreage. The general conditions that are favorable to the production of oranges or grape fruit. obtain in the production of lemons and 1t is not nec- essary at this time to go further into the subject.
 ms NdlleN IS aDSOlulelN Tree Gl scale, which is so destructive, to the orchards and crop in California and Florida. The hot summer cooks 1t out and trees that have been known to have been infected were made clean and healthy after one summer. Thus it will be seen that all of the condi- tiOns of air and earth are ideal for the raising of citrus fruits in the valley.
 Land can be purchased at from s1OO to s200 per acre. All of the ter ritory north of the Maricopa ditch is believed to be ideal citrus land. There are at least 5O,0O0 acres of first class citrus land in the valley.
 It is the only place in America where that amount of citrus land is for sale. and better returns can be realized than in California where land is worth three times as much as is asked here.
 If you do not believe all of this. buy a railroad ticket and come out to the Salt River Valley.
