It was within hat century from

Germany, the fatherland of printing

That is, many efforts were made to reach him by phone but it was not till four days later when he came in that he learned of the death of his friend. He then found that while he could converse from his end no one could reach him. He reported the matter every day over the phone for a week and then visited the office in person in his efforts to get adequate service in return for the rent charged by the company. It is unnecessary to give further instances but it would seem that a telephone company, in a city which is rapidly growing to metropolitan proportions and should have at least a semblance of metropolitan facilities for the con duct of business, would at least see to it that the names of their subscribers in the telephone directories were in alphabetical order and not misspelled. that the initials were correct and above all. that all of the subscribers names were in the book thus making but one call necessary instead of two

had made a deposit on the land and
 before the deeds had been signed he
 was offered $125 an acre for it. This he refused and during the past week | has just refused an offer of s225 for
 the same property He felt tempted
 to sell at this price but his faith in future values influenced his judgment to retain possession of it.
 His home ranch, 11b miles north of
 the fair grounds on the Cave Creek road, will be divided into 10, 20 and 4Q acre tracts and sold at s175 an acre. At this price a purchaser could hardly
 make a better investment as it is some of the richest land in the valley. The home. with a fine barn and creameries will also be sold though no definite price has been put upon it. Mir Evans will not dispose of any of his thoroughbred cattle which have all ways proved prize winners at the ter ritorial fairs. They are probably the best registered Jerseys in the valley and four of them are entered at the fair this year. Among them will be an IS months old bull of the Recorder Merry Maiden Brown Bessie strain. This bulls direct antecedents won the champion prizes at both the worlds fair and the St. Louis exposition. His pedigree is long enough to make the most exclusive genealogical societies green with envy.
 While, this column is not designed for the use of "kicking." on the one hand. neither will it be given over to an attitude of complacent satisfaction with existing conditions Whatever bears on local improvements and in creased facilities in the conduct of business is lawful grist for the mill. Under the latter head unquestionably falls the public telephone service. If a half dozen scattering complaints had been received by the writer in regard to this branch of public utilities no mention would be made of it in this column, for it is a well known fact perfectly satisfactory telephone service is seldom attained anywhere. Ade- quate service is quite another thing. One householder reported last week that it was quite easy to get Tucson on the wire but that he could not reach his next door neighbor. The message he hoped to deliver over the phone he carried in person and found his neighbOrs placidly seated in the same room with the phone A gentle man who lives two miles out of the

Provi- dence. a bungalow; Emery memorial, endowment fund of s5,O0O; Jas L. Houghteling. Chicago, a bungalow: W. l. Goddard. a bungalow. and Mrs. A. C. Bartlett, Chicago, a bungalow.
 The good work accomplished by the home during the first year of its ex- istence is but a promise of what is to follow. The first patients were re- ceived in December last year In two weeks after the opening of the home the twelve bungalows were filled and many applicants had to be turned away, the larger proportion of whom are already greatly improved in health.
 It is quite within the range of prob ability that this village in the desert will eventually form the nucleus of much larger municipality. that it will be laid out into squares and pub lie improvements introduced, and that it will become a little city by itself where tubercular patients may regain their health without danger or detri- ment to their fellows.

SHEEP UNDER WIRE
 GREAT MONEY MAKERS
Samuel Draper Dunlop Tells Why They Are More Profitable Than on the Open Range.

With the certainty of pending re- strictions in the open ranges and the limitation of the number of sheer owned by one man, which will be per mitted to use them. many sheep men are putting their flocks under wire The Salt River valley, with its pas lures of alfalfa. cannot be excelled the world over for sheep raising. One of those who is going to raise sheep under wire in the valley is Sampel D. Dunlop. MT. Dunlop has raised them on the open in Wyoming and under stands the business thoroughly. He will devote eighty acres of his ranch to a band of GOO sheep which will be shipped to him from Flagstaff. De cember |
 Mir. Dunlop spoke of the advantages of raising sheep under wire over the free range method.
 The Salt River valley is the only place in the world where you get green pasture the year round" said Mir. Dunlop.
 This enables us to have lambs on the market for Easter. If you want to see sheep get fat right under your eyes put them on a diet of alfalfa allow nine sheep to the acre. though l believe the experiment station recommends eight. You have to be a bit careful that the little beggars don't eat the alfalfa roots and all. They are the greatest scavengers in the world and will clean up wheat stub- ble. sunflowers, and everything that grows.
 "The particular advantages of rais- ing them under wire are these: In the first place on the open range sheep men figure on a loss of 10 per cent in the lambs from coyotes. A Page fence stops the wild dog and that loss is eliminated. Then a couple of pounds of wool on each sheep is al- ways thrown away on account of dirt and cockleburs. This loss is curtailed when a ranch is taken care of Sheep under wire are usually free from hoof rot and other diseases peculiar to them on the open. The wool grows better and is heavier and of finer quality, and of course the sheep get fat quicker than when the only pick ings in sight are sage brush and cactus.
 Lots of money has been made in sheep in the past, but those who think sheep days are over are nightly mis- taken. They are just beginning Wool last year was 22 cents a pound and lambs sold for s9. Suppose wool sells for 14 cents this year and lambs for S6 a man can make a hundred per cent profit on his band of sheep. Of course he has to have a ranch and al- falfa to start with A man could come into this valley with a few thousand dollars. but a few acres planted in alfalfa, stock it with sheep at nine to the acre and clear 20 per cent a year on his whole investment That is, he could do it is he knew his business
