Prophesying that the Sahara sand
ocean will in time be completely
changed into fruitful territory, the
journal of the Berlin Geological So
ciety, according to another German
contemporary, goes on to say:
The SahaEa rivers all hide a rich
subterranean stratum OF water, and
form the natural passage of the Sudan,
on which, with very little trouble,
vegetation can be largely developed.
In the south of Temassinim and III
the lgharghars there are groves of

and clover-covered plains. The rivers,
which in spring are full of water, are

GIANT WOLF SHOT IN
 SEVENTIES IS RECALLED

When George F. Brown. who is now looking after the agricultural and general welfare of the Indians of the lower reservation, killed a lobo wolf in the early seventies, he little thought that that act would cut any figure in the financial affairs of Yava- pal county just generation later, says the Phoenix Republican.
 Mir Brown and Barney Smith, now chairman of the board of supervisors of Yavapai county, were out hunting some distance east of Prescott. They were looking for Apache Indians as well as for game, for one was about as plentiful then as the other. But they came across a lobo wolf, which MT. Brown shot and skinned.
 He had forgotten all about the incl dent and perhaps would never have recalled 1t again but for an official proceeding by the board of super yisors of Yavapai county the other day. The action of the board is de- scribed by the Prescott Courier as fol lows:
 '4The board of supervisors yester- day wrestled with the wolf-hide ques- ton and decided, after some discus sion, to classify the hides Of wolves which had been brought in as lobos, as coyotes.
 The exhibits in the controversy were the raw an shrunken hides of the SO called lobos and magnificently mounted hide of large lobo which was killed on the Upper Verde some years ago by George E. Brown, which is now the property of Supervisor Smith"
 Mir. Brown is of the opinion that it is hardly fair for the board of super. visors to make that hide the standard for wolf skins on which the bounty for lobos will be paid. He says that If such a rule is adopted it will be equivalent to a decision on the part of the board to pay no bounty on io- bos at all, for there will never be as big a skin brought in again, if his recollection of the size of it is any where near correct. It is his impress sion that it was as big as a buffalo hide.

GOLF TROPHY PURCHASED.

A handsome silver cup, represent ing the golf championship of the southwest, has been purchased in E Paso to be played for in the Doug las-El Paso golf tournament there on January 26.
 A letter to Eugene Neff stated that the directors of the Arizona club had accepted the proposition of the El Pasoans to buy the cup, the same to go to the winner in all contests be tween the two clubs.
 With the Douglas golfers will go John Adams of the Hinsdale Coli club, Chicago, H., who will play the expert of the Fl Paso club. F. W. Fovargue, of the Skokie Country club
 The increase in number of player to fifteen is agreeable to both sides, for it develops an additional interest in the game by allowing the increased number to participate and as the more inexperienced players of each club will be pitted against each other, the relative strength of the two teams will not be impaired.
 The Fl Paso golfers are planning to play return match in Douglas in February, leaving here in a specially chartered Pullman Saturday night and returning Monday morning. The wives and families of the Fl Paso players will accompany them.
 The cup has already ben purchased and is on display.-Douglas Dispatch.

THIS MAN sNEEzED HIS
 ARM OUT OF JOINT

You've heard man say he almost sneezed his head of haven't you? Al most, mind yeu. but not quite Well, Carman Legg of the local car repair shops can now say that he almost lost an arm that way. He sneezed it out of joint. at any rate, and it took con siderable effort on the part of two men to get 1t back in place.
 The curious accidunt to MT. Legg is said to have happened while he was under a car doing some repair work. He was crouchingiow and all bent up at his work when he felt tremendous sneeze coming on. He could tell that it was going to De a big one, so he thought he would just Timber up and enjoy it. He Ioosened up one should CT a little too much, however, for when the critical moment came he went through such cqntorition that the violence of the shock completely dis located the, loose shoulder and the vic tim found himself in great pain.
 One of MT. Legg's shouluers Is said to have been crippled for some time, so tkat it easily comes out of place. And while the story of the accident seems most improbable. it is said to have happened very easily. Some diff culty was experienced in getting the arm back in place. It required the services of two men, but it was finely accomplished without the necessity of administering an aesthetic.-Doug- las Dispatch.

 Colonel Epes Randolph has re turned to Tucson from the Imperial country, where he had been to look after business connected with the Cal ifornia Development company, oi which he is the head.
 .'The Imperial valley never looked better than it does today.

 The levee work on the Colorado river done last year to stop the flow of water from the Colorado into the Salton sea has proved to be a sue cess and there is no further cause for alarm on that account
 Concerning railroad work in Sonora on the various Randolph lines Colo- nel Randolph stated that construction work was now being pushed on the new line which is being built rom Nogales to Cananea and on the coast line beyond Rio del Fuerte which had already been crossed by the track. The road has been completed and is now in operation to Alamos. The mineral country about Alamos is said to be one of the best in Sonora and

Odd Baby Customs.

Among the Parsees when child is born a priest takes the place of the medicine man. carefully noting down all details of birth and calculating its nativity" to a nicety. Having gracious ly consulted the parents, he announces the chiid's name. Baptism by water and by fire follows, the infant being first dipped in q tub and afterward taken to church to be held over a flame.
 In Persia the baby is laid on the floor while five names on five different slips of paper are either tucked under the edge of the carpet or hidden in the Koran. The first chapter of this holy book is then read and a slip drawn al random. The chosen name is confidel to the baby's ear, but lest he should forget his wee memory is tagged by fastening the paper to his clothing Los Angeles Times.

HUMPHREY AND RANDOLPH
 TALK ABOUT EXTENSIONS

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 15.-Aftter having spent about two weeks pere- grinating about over the greater part of the northwestern half of the repub- lie of Mexico on a tour of inspection of the Randolph lines in that section, District Passenger Agent Humphrey of the Southern Pacific has returned to the city.
 Mir. Humphrey left here. with the party of railroad officials who accom- panied General Torres of Sonora on his official opening of the Navajoa-Al- amos route to Alamos. He left the party there and subsequently visited Hermosillo, Guaymas and then made a general tour over all the Mexican lines.
 Mir. Humphrey said: "The opening of the extension was a great thing to the people of Alamos Practically thousands witnessed it who had never seer a railroad train before and the advent of the special was taken by them as one of the seven wonders of the world The special car, the Sil- Eerbeu, which carried our party, stood on a track which was about four feet below an embankment, and every hour in the day while it re mained there hundreds would stand and talk interminably about the won derful sight as they inspected all It's various apartments.
 My trip over the Mexican lines was very interesting Railroad con ditions down there are a great deal better than is thought up here. All the roads are in good condition and they are being kept in state of i'm proyement in spite of the money stringency that compares fayorably with the roads in the states.
 There is no let-up in railroad de- yelopment and extension in Mexico, nor will there be. in my opinion. The Alamos line is going to be profitable to the road and it is regarded as a great boon by the inhabitants Of the territory in and around Alamos, and in fact along the entire line of exten- sion.

They Tax All sians.

Every sign in Rio Janeiro is taxed. A cafe having special "sorvete." or Ice. to serve makes a placard and hangs it to doorpost or to one of the palm trees in tubs which commonly decorate such establishments. The no- tice thus posted must have a revenue stamp attached. Permanent signs are taxed on a permanent basis, tenn porary signs on a stamped basis. 4 sign House For Rent" bears a revenue stamp. Under such circumstances the tax on signboards or billboards is the expected thing, but naturally there is much less general use of such forms of advertising.
