GRtAT ACTIVITY t
 IN THE MELON FIELDS
Crop Enters Second Week of ShiP- nents to the Woods Distributing Company.

Melons are on the move here, and so is everyone connected with this in- dustry in this section of the valley. Up to Monday evening forty-one cars had been loaded at the NJ. & F. depot.
 The trouble with regard to sufficient ly icing the refrigerator cars at Tue son and Fl Paso, has been adjusted and the matters in this connection are moving along. No more difficulty is expected in this direction. M. M. Cox, the Woods representative, is continu- ing to pay an advance of 40 cents per crate on all standard melons
 A trip through the country sur rounding Mesa. discloses scenes of much activity at the present time in cantaloupe fields and camps; where the pickers and packers are hard at work getting the delicious crop ready for the eastern markets Several of the local growers have stated that the crop this year is especially fine and that the vines are loaded heavily with the ripening fruit. Thus far nothing has .hindered the rapid maturing and handling of the melons. The de- structiVe apis has appeared on very few vines this season, and In these instances the plants have been i'm mediately destroyed by fire to prevent a spread of the insect.

ACROSS CONTINENT
 IN AN AUTOMOBILE
An Auto Party That Was Here Has Now Reached California on Its Continental Tour.

The Los Angeles Examiner con- tained a dispatch from San Bernar- dino that will be of interest to Tempe people for the reason that the parties mentioned spent some time in Tempe and Mesa a couple of months ago on their tour of the con tinent. The dispatch says:
 G. N. Foss and N. H. Bliss of Bos- ton have reached this city after a trip across the continent in runa- bout The journey was not made for speed and the young men took their time, but they have travelled lO.265 miles since November ,, 1907. They took many side trips and one of these carried them Tar into the interior of Mexico. The entire jour ney was made in a Stevens -Duryea runabout. From Boston they went to Chicago and thence to Denver, thence south into Mexico, back by way or Albuquerque and through Arizona. crossing the Colorado at Needles. They came to, San Bernardino by way of Cajon pass. One of their numerous adventures was a chase to escape a band of wild cattle. which did not like the looks of the machine.

The Misplaced Enthusiasm of Boys on the Fourth Was an Expensive Proceeding.

That the law plays no favorites has been quite satisfactorily demon strated in Tempe within the past few days; one man is no better than another, whether he be a member Of the city council or just a common person. The incident about to be re- lated is more humorous than serious but for the sake of the feelings of those concerned no names will be mentioned.
 It will no doubt be remembered that previous to the Fourth the mayor issued an edict that there should be no shooting of firecrackers on the Fourth or any other day for that matter, on the south and west side of the Hayden ditch. This move was made purely as a matter of protection against fire and while 1t worked a serious hardship upon young America, those old enough to appreciate the situation took the or der in the right spirit and it may be said to the credit of the residents of the town that there was little cause for complaint on the part of the officers over violations of the rule.
 However, one or two youthful pa triots could not resist the tempta- ton of shooting just a couple of crackers on forbidden ground on the Glorious Fourth and their fathers were promptly made to feel the pow CT of the law Marshal Brown lost no time in placing them under ar rest and it chanced that one of the first to be taken up was member of the city council. Two other prominent citizens found themselves in the same situation through the enthusiasm of their offspring. The matter did not come up in court until yesterday and a settlement was made by the payment of a nominal fine.

BOOSTING THE NORTH SIDE WITH MESA ADVERTISING.

The following item has been handed to the representative of The Repub- lican, for publication:
 '.One of the real estate firms of Phoenix has been boosting the sale of land on the north side of the river by using picture of a cantaloupe field at Mesa in connection with written ad on display in its office window. We do not object to having Mesa pro- duce er pictures used in advertising the Salt River valley in general, or to having others use them in advertising the Mesa section but We do object to having pictures that have been taken especially for the purpose of advertis- ing a Mesa industry being used as H. frustrating and purporting to be scenes in other localities.

A PROGRESSIVE INDIAN
 SACATON RESERVATION
Recently Returned From Trip To Ma tional Capital and Tells of Good Conditions at Reservation.

Hugh Patton, q progressive Indian merchant residing on the reservation at Sacaton, was in Mesa yesterday purchasing supplies for his store there. Mir Patton is a good business man, and a wide awake merchant. He states that he has fine trade on the reserva- tion. among his people. and those In the surrounding districts. He recently returned from Washington. where he went as a representative of the Sac aton Indians to confer with the offi- cials of the department of the interior. He also talked with several of the sen ators and congressman regarding the conditions and affairs of his tribe.
 He reports the bed of the Gila river as being dry at this time where 1t passes the reservation. This. however, does not materially affect crop con ditions there. as under present circum- stances, the Indians do not attempt to raise anything excepting cereals for their early crop, and this has already been harvested. If the usual July rains set in at an early date. he states that another crop of corn can be matured this season. as well as other fall crops. At present no attention is given to the raising of melons or smaller vegetables to any extent.
 The agricultural department, how ever. in view of the proposed irrigating wells. is supplying the Indians there with literature and information re- garding the proper and scientific cul- tivation of food products adapted to that section. As soon as the water supply is secured, the Indians. MT Patton states, will enter into the ac- tive cultivation of a variety of crops
 MT. Patton left yesterday afternoon for his home on the Gila river.

ICEING CANTAL0UPFS
 Al TEMPE CREAMERY
A Busy Time at the Pacific Cream
 ery's Ice Plant.

If there is one place on the south busy than another, it is the plant of the Pacific Creamery company where the cars of cantaloupes are being iced for shipment to the east. The siding at the creamery is filled with cars all day long and it keeps a big force of men busy loading ice. The Tempe Melon Growers associa- tion's shipping sheds are on the same siding and the Tempe melons are iced as fast as they are loaded. The first icing requires something over five tons of ice per car and in addi- tion to this, the Mesa melons are reiced at the creamery again before they start on their long journey. This second icing, of course, does not require such a quantity of ice. Nevertheless, the amount of ice that is used there daily is considerably in excess of the making capacity of the plant. The creamery company foresaw some time ago that when the busy season did arrive ice was go- ing to be in demand in large quanti- ties, and in preparation for the ex-  and stored away some weeks ago
 Something over 120 tons of ice was stored and available at the com mencement of the shipping season It is thought that this ice with what can be made daily above that re- quired for local use will keep the
 business moving ana that there will
 not be a shortage of fee.
 It takes a lot of ice to keep can taloupes in good shape between here
 and Chicago, and after leaving the valley more ice is needed from time to time on the road. The cars are refilled for the first time at Tucson again at Fl Paso- ano several times
 more between that point and Chi cago.
 The Tempe association sent out three more cars last night and the rush season in the Tempe fields is just now coming on. The warm weather is ripening the melons fast and it is thought that this will be the largest week of the season here.

 publican at your address any day noti

 Last year MT. Powers had two acres of his ground planted in cantaloupes. and from this amount of land, harvest ed 665 crates. He states that he clear ed the sum of S565 on the crop.
