Eros, Damage.

Local fruit men and berry growers
now state that the damage done by
the frost of last week is greater than
was at first thought. Cherries and
plums of the earlier varieties have
suffered heaviest and peaches are
much hurt. The apple blossoms were
not SO far along and Jared better.
Heavy damage was done to almost
all varieties OF grapes. The bloom on
many trees was so prolific. say the
men who have looked into the matter,
that the amount. OF fruit saved will be
quite large. II the country had es'
capped this freeze the fruit crop would
have been the greatest in the history
of the section.

over some land. After figuring up two or three pencils and several fat tablets, Whaley found that the num- Der sought was between POS and 209, but what the fraction was he was unable to find.
 E. 4. Tovrea, known as the John w. Gates of Bisbee, was next to the bat Tovrea rather brides himself on his knowledge of figures and began the solution in a manner which show ed that he would have the answer in q few minutes. He failed to connect, but was willing to wager that ne could give the correct answer the following morning.
 Geo Buxton volunteered his ser vices. and really made a brilliant ef- fort, if his comments on how it should be done as are to be believed, but somehow there was always a hitch in his proceedings, and the right answer eluded his facile pencil.
 A representative of the Review who was present, upon certain promises of reward, promised to publish the cor rect answer in the mornings Review. The promise was easily kept by talk ing the problem to J. P. Connolly, of the Bank of Bisbee, who announced. after about five minutes figuring. that the square root of the number was 20S.71.

SCHOOL CENSUS FOR COCH|SE
 PAST YEAR
Report Submitted Yesterday to Territorial Superintendent Shows Total of 6,200 Pupils in the County.

Superintendent of the public schools of Cochise county, J. A. Rockfellow, yesterday completed his annual re port to the territorial superintendent. The report was delayed by the nOn- arrival of some Of the necessary data of the Bisbee district.
 The report shows that during the Ipast year there was an increase of over 600 pupils in ths number of school children in the county frUIn
 the school year which ended in June, 1907. The total number of children
 at that time was 6,2O0. This year the census report as turned in 10 Mr.
 RockfellOw shows that there are 6,S29 children of school age within the county. Of these there are 3.516 boys
 and 3,323 girls. There are S6 colored children in the schools, 8 boys and 5 girls. The nativity of the chil- dren shows that the largest majority of the:n are native born with both of
 their parents of American birth. Of this number there are 3,579. There are 553 native born children with one of their parents of foreign birth i; l,264 with both of their parents of foreign nativity, while there are ,5yz that were foreign born. The latter includes a number of children who were born in the sister republic a Mexico.
 There are at present 34 school dis tricts in the county, which will be in creased to 36 at the fall term, as two new districts have been recently established by the board of super visors. The schools or grades in the county number 124, which give em- pIoyment to 127 teachers, of which all but Is are of the gentler sex. The percentage of men teachers in the county has fallen off rapidly during the past few years, as the salary paid in most instances was not as sui feient as they could have received from seeking employment from the various mining companies operating in this vicinity, and they have turn ed their efforts in taose directions. There were 3S teachers who applied for territorial certificates during the year and who took the examination before the superintendent. at one or the other of the quarterly ezamina- tions. There are 4221 volumes in the various school libraries ia the county, which is quite an increase -over the number of last year.
 The expenses of the schools for the past year was $127, ,S03.00, of
 which amount SSS,697.47 was paid for salary to the teachers, $37,S26 for gents, fuel, etc, ss67 for school sup plies and S147 for school furniture. There was received from license and school taxes the sum of S151 200, so that there is a balance in the school fund to start of the year with of s23.39S. which is the largest amount ever had at the beginning of the year iu the history of the county. The school expenses of the county aver age about 5000 to a teacher, as last

B|SBEE WILL
 HAVE DELEGATES
 AT CONGRESS
Most important Meeting of National Irrigation Con- greSS to Be Held This Year At Albuquerque, N. M.

At the next meeting of the Bisbee Board of Trade it is probable that the question of appointment of del egates to the National Irrigation Con- gress, which is to be held this year at Albuquerque September 29, will be taken up. Two will probably be appointed. In a letter to the Board of Trade, Governor Kibbey, amUzg other things, says:
 T need not do more than to caIt your attention to this important meet ing to impress its value upon your mind. The whole territory is inter ested in the subject or irrigation and its immediately cognate subjects, all of which it is the object of the con gress to promote.
 Millions of dollars are now being expended in the territory by the gov ernment for irrigation works and many other millions not only by the government but by private enterprise can be made available by the proper effort
 .One of the things that will help to that end is the exhibition of a lively interest by our people in the sukisct: and one of the ways to exhibit that in- terest is by having an active repTesen- tation at the irrigation congress. I shall be pleased to have you give this matter your early attention"
 Any information as to the details of the congress may be had by ad- dressing MT. R. E. Twitcheil, secre- tary board of control, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
 The people of Albuquerque are mak- ing great preparations for the meet ing which is to be held this year. ana in many respects it promises to be the most important which has ever been held The questions of irriga- ation and dry farming, both of which : will be discussed by the best authori- ties on those subjects in the United States, are important to the future of this section, and it is to be hoped that this and other cities of the ter ritory will be represented Douglas Is making arrangements to send sew eral delegates.

VISITED OLD SCENE
 OF INDIAN EIGHT
Col, W, N. Fife Fought ApaChes With Famous Generals at
 Lowell in 1880,

Col. Wm. N. Fife. formerly of the volunteer service, now a contractor in Cananea, visited Lowell when in Bisbee this week, where, on tae ground now occupied by the Mason hotel, he and General Crook, Emmett Crawford, Tom Horn, Generals Law ton and Datewood and General Shaft er camped and scrapped Apaches Un the 18th day Of November, 1880. Col. Fife is 17 years of age, but one would naturally put aim up for 55.
 General Crook used to speak of Col. Fife as the cast iron man, and he was generally known as the fa- vored one, having slid through so mary close calls during the Indian wars. Col. Fife states that Of all the officers who ever took the field against the Apaches. Crook was the right man and considers that the record of that intrepid Indian fighter has ever been sadly underestimated
