fruit. of which no record has hereto fore been made. Attention is called particularly to one exhibit. and that was a box of black berries, the first, it is believed. ever raised in this val ley.
 l As mentioned some months ago the Hall Bros. are making a series of eX- periments with berries and small fir t the result of which will not only be of value to them but to all the fruit rais- CTS in the valley. It has been an old time cry that this or that fruit cannot be raised here. just as people once said about apples. It has been dem | onstrated that while this is not an ideal apple country, some varieties will grow as well here as anywhere else. Hall Bros. have contented that practically everything in the berry line could be grown here if proper atten- ton was paid to it. They have not been personally interviewed as to the full measure of their success. but the sample boxes they are bringing to the board room indicate that their predic- tion is not far wrong.
 Black raspberries are admittedly about the finest fruit in the berry line that can be grown anywhere, so far as flavor is concerned, though they are not so large and attractive in appear ance as some other berries. The fruit they have brought in is not the larg- est and finest ever in the raspberry line but it is good nevertheless and the fact that raspberries can be grown here at all is a thing to be proud of. How prolific they have proved to be has not yet been ascertained, but in no country do they bear like the black berries and the fruit is always more expensive than other berries.
 Hall brothers also brought in some red raspherries. taking a board of trade record on both. The red rasp- berries were as fine as one could hope to find anywhere.
 There were two other berry exhibits by the same firm. One was of dew berries, a smaller variety than those brought in a few days before and not nearly so sweet a fruit, but firm and apparently of good quality for ship ping The other was another black berry exhibit being the second brought in by Hall Bros. this year.
 Mrs. Dysart who lives north of the city also brought to the board of trade on Saturday a fine sample of Royal apricots, the first of the season brough in and therefore the record making fruit for this year. The smaller and earlier apricOts were placed on the market sometime be- fore. but none were brought to the board of trade so no one has a record there for that fruit this year.

PHOENIX MERCHANT
 DROPS OUT OF SIGHT
R. L. Cox Disappeared MysteriousIy From the Streets of Tucson or Sunday Morning.

The sheriff's office in Tucson is working on a case the chief feature of which is the mysterious disap- pearance of a Phoenix man, R. L. Cox. The story to date is a short one and baffles any explanation.
 MT. Cox a short time ago built a new house fon the Tempe road in the eastern suburbs of Phoenix and laid in stock of groceries. He em- plOyed as a clerk or assistant a young woman, the daughter of A. R. Kezer, residing nearby. Matters pro gressed so tremendously that their acquaintance eliminated in marriage on the 26th of last month, and they went to Tucson for a short wedding trip. stopping at the Hotel Heidel
 Sunday morning they decided to take an automobile ride and went down town together Mir. Cox stepped into a garage while Mrs. Cox passed on up the street to do an errand or two, returning in a little while to the garage, where she expected to meet her husband. He was not there and on making inquiry she was told he left almost immediately after she did and no one noticed in which di- rection. He has not been heard from since.
 Mrs. Cox came home Monday morn ing and it is understood her father left that evening for Tucson to try and find MT. Cox. There was a story last night that the Pima county off cers had found a trace of MT. Cox and reported the fact to the sheriff here, but the story seems to have been incorrect. Inquiry over the iong distance telephone to Tucson last night brought the further infor- nation athat MT. Kezer had conferred yesterday with Sheriff Pacheeo of Tucson and that both left Tucson last evening for the west, probably Los Angeles. It was impossible to secure a statement from the sheriffs office in Tucson last night by The Republicans correspondent, who stated, however, that the facts above related were quite well verified from other sources, after The Republicans query, which seemed to be the first publicity given the matter in Tucson.
 Friends of the missing man are entirely at a loss for any mo- tive for an intentional disappearance and it seems hardly possible that he could have dropped out of sight any other way.

Hit DIAMOND JUBILEE
 Or CHICAGO EXCHANGE
The Growth of the Board and the City in Sixty Years.

Chicago, May 31.-(Special Cores pondence of The Republican )-The phenomenal development of the west during the last sixty years gives pe-
 culiar interest to the proposed cele- | bration by business interests here of the diamond jubilee of the Chicago board of trade, for the increase of transactions on that exchange re- fleets the changes in the prairie states. In 1S48, when the board was organized the shipments of corn at Chicago were 55O,460 bushels as against 95,77O,779 bushels shipped
 last year and 125,159,932 bushels re- ceived, figures which tell the story of the corn belt during sixty years.
 Chicago had a population of less
 than 30000 the state of Illinois had
 only 157,000 people, and the United
 States had not yet attained a total
 of 13,O00,000 population. Today the population of Chicago is, in round numbers. 2,400,000; of Illinois, 5,5OO,-
 900, and of the United tates, 9O.OOO,- 0000. The founders of the board aim ed to apply the principle of CO., operation to the expensive task of securing the worlds crop facts. The purposes as expressed then in the bylaws of the board, have stood two-thirds of a. century, they being set out thus: "To maintain a com mercial exchange; to promote unifor- mity in the customs and usages of merchants; to inculcate principles of justice and equity in trade; to facil- itate the speedy adjustment of busi- ness disputes; to acquire and dis seminate valuable commercial and economic information; and generally, to secure to its members the ben efits of cooperation in the further ance of their legitimate pursuits"
 The legal battle between the $120,- 100000 Harvester Trust" and the state of Kansas, which has reached its final stage with the taking of testimony in this city. is developing many interesting facts about the company's agency methods. Attor- ney General Fred s. Jackson charges that the various companies that go to make up the International liar vester company have effected com bination in restraint of trade and have raised prices and compelled agents to handle only their goods. In its effort to refute these contentious

ing under q Southern sun, that the sore
ness from nonuse of their muscles in the
winter is taken out, and there is not a
player, no matter how long he has been
on the diamond, who Is not in need Of
this training. In the cold North it would
be impossible to get into condition. hence
the selection of the South, with its warm

Gently compiled show that the total value
Of American machines for 1907 was
about S1OG, 100000. More than 5000
pleasure cars were manufactured in the
Y months all but 5000 of these being
gasoline propelled cars. The capital en-
plOyed Ia turning out these cars and mar
keting them reaches the amazing total
Of more than S94 ,OOO,O 900, $4,000 employees

tories. These figures, be 1t remembered,
apply only to the direct manufacture, and
it has been carefully computed that in

were employed the business representing
a capital Of nearly $37 ,O0O,O 600 Garages

Swimming,

Since early in February the swimmers
of the Eastern colleges have been devot-
ing their spare time to perfecting them
selves for the annual championship. To
this end hardly a week has passed that

aquatic meet. On April 4, In the Prince
ton tank, when the individual champion
ships are held, ii will be possible to see
just what has been done in developing
new swimmers. This year promises to
be unusually interesting for the reason
that many of the universities have lost
their stars, San Renear, the Hawaiian
crack, for example, having left Penn
sylvania, as has De Bow, the intercol-
legiate plunge record holder. while Yale
mOurns the loss of Stoddard, the former
Lawrenceville star, who was considered
one Of the best present-day college swim
mers. Dawbarn, of Princeton, is the
Tigers notable loss because Of his Ill
ness, and so on through the list, yet as
each has lost some man who was counted
upon as n point winner, it means that
one of the best competitions ever cele-
brated will be the result. No one has
