Cameron On Their Trail.

Ralph Cameron, who, as a result of the recent elections, will succeed Mark Smith as delegate in the House from Arizona after the 4th of March, has come to town to stay. Yesterday he was around the Capitol getting acquainted. MT. Cameron is rather small and has red cheeks, merry blue eyes and happy smile. Yet he used to be Sheriff of the most scandalous sec tion of Arizona. and although that was years ago. they do say as how mothers scare bad little children into being good just by saying that Ralph'll git 'em if they don't watch out. They say that when he once got on a trail he never quit until he had the pursuee, alive or dead. So he is expected to help a lot on the trail of single statehood. That's what he's down here to get.

Will Live in Flagstaff.

Mr. A. Bourgeois. recently of El Paso, has located in Flagstaff per manently owing to the splendid success he has met with in his line of work. Mr. Bourgeois is in truth a fresco artist. but is modest in his claims and merely says he is gen. eral painter and paper hanger. ready to do your work and do it to your satisfaction. He came to this country from France some twenty five years ago. under contract to complete the mural decorations in the celebrated Notre Dame Cathed- ral at Montreal. and today this work stands unexcelled as work of art in it's line. His work as a carriage painter can be seen everyday on the streets of Flagstaff. MT. I. A
 Riordan and others for whom he has piled his art are warm it their praise of this genial French work man and are willing to recommend him to the people for any contract he undertakes. It is seldom that one of his ability takes up with general work in this manner, but the climate and the hills won him to Flagstaff and he is here to stay, and willing to accept any contract in connection with painting. lmo.

Flagstaff Stockmen Lose Horses


 F. M. Isbel and John St. Claire, of Flagstaff, yesterday recovered the last three horses which were borrowed from them on the night of December 8. They were on their way from Flagstaff to Phoenix. They went into camp on the bank of the Arizona canal and turned their horses loose after securely hobbling them. The next morning three of the horses were missing. The evening of the next day they found one of the horses. The hob bles no longer impeded the feet of the horse. but were tied about his neck. The owners did not require the gifts of Sherlock Holmes to de- duce that some human agency had been at work. The horse had never done that himself. Isbel returned to Flagstaff in a day or two with the rest of the horses and St. Claire continued his search for the miss ing ones. He found them yester day below the city. They showed evidences of having been employed at hard labor; they were covered with harness marks. -Phoeix Re publican.

before Mr. Bryan sprang into national
prominence as a presidential candidate.

then this ms<n reflected how impos-
sible il would be to get them in this
city in their best estate, fresh, as
they used to get them there; and
was not this equally true of all vege-
tables? And so he came to dwell in
his mind on the other delights of the
garden.
The yellow crook neck squash, for
instance, not the big. orange colored
squash, but the small, yellow crook
necks of the beautiful color and the
unapproachable flavor that were
grown in their own garden and cook.
ed freshly picked and tasting as diff
ferent from squashes long off the
vines as can be imagined. He always
loved the yellow crook necks, and
really he has never yet been able to
make up his mind which he liked
better-crook neck yellow squashes
or asparagus.
When he ate asparagus he thought
that that was the finest thing that
the earth produced, but he thought
the same of crook neck yellow squash
when he ate that. Could one be con-
fronted with happier dilemma? And
the man hoped that he might never
solve it, but keep always these two
great joys-if he could get them
fresh.
And the cucumbers. Think of eat
ing cucumbers not old and withered
or kept on ice, but think of going
out into the garden in the morning
and looking over the vines for cucum-
bers at precisely the right stage Of
young ripeness, and finding them
cool and with the dew still on them,
and then fancy them cracking, fair
ly cracking when you cut thein, they
were so crisp and brittle Why, no.
body knows what cucumbers are at
all till he has eaten them fresh from
the vines in the early morning.
And the tomatoes; not picked half
green and carted around and ripened
in old age and decrepitude, but to-
matoes full flush ripe and picked so
in the fine fulness of their flavor
and eaten freshl And the corn from
the garden; and the lima beans.
And think of the succotash; the
man repeated that word to himself
and dwelt upon it fondly, succotash;
of succotash made from freshly gath
cred corn and freshly, picked bean,
of corn and beans fresh from the gar
den, succotash not to be had unde4
any other conditions at any price.
And that price idea suggested to
the man as he looked at the wiltes
pile labelled new beets," that there
are some things that money can't
buy, and one of these is the delight
of truly fresh vegetables. That IS
something that man might be wortH
Sis, 900, 900 and yet if he live in the
city never know, a delight that is
reserved for those who live on the
ground where the vegetables are rails
