Arizona a Coming State.

We are in receipt from our friend E.
V. Curnutt, Of Globe, Arizona, of a
copy of the Daily Arizona Silver Belt,
published III that city, which is a cred
il to that city But You can expect
nothing less from state where the U.
). government is spending millions of
dollars making its deserts blossom like
the rose by means of vast irrigation
projects. Some years ago, probably
ten or more, J. NJ. Curnutt, of Globe
Arizona, wrote some descriptive arti-
cles of that state and also reconnted a
hunting trip in the mountains near the
Salt River. That was before irriga-
tion was thought of in that section,
but now the waters of Salt river are
being utilized to water the desert. In
the current numbers of American In
duStries there are some interesting IL
Illustrations showing the results of irri'
cation, among them a view Of the Salt
River power canal The great dam al
Roosevelt is the most important irriga
tiUn project in the state.

Sequachee II. Copenhagen Z.

The initial base ball game of the
season here resulted in victory for
the home nine, II to Z. The mighty
wielders of the willow from Copenha-
gen were the opponents, and played a
warm game. As sluggers they were
No. /, clouting the leather hard, but
fine fielding by the locals held them
down at critical times. Sequachee
also had on their batting clothes, and
the spheroid was kept busy travelling.
Bryant was the worst sinner in this re-
spect, getting in two home runs, and
making five runs out of ave chances at
bat. Houts was another slugger, hit
ting for four runs out of five chances.
These two men headed Sequacbee' s
batting list, and were followed by 9TH
ers who punched the ball for sacrifice
hits at necessary times Davis and
Rogers were the battery for Sequachee,
and did fine work Davis is heady
pitcher, and his work was first-class.
Rogers caught finely. Tate, Shirley,
Lasater, and DeSabla did good work,
and were in the game all the time.
Hill played at the initial sack. Houts
made splendid catch in left field,
running from center to pull down
ball that was sailing over the left field
er. Lasater also made nice catch in
center and it was his first match game,
too.
Copenhagen also made several fine
plays, and it didn't pay to knock the
ball too close to any of them. They
had pitcher who wound up like {
clock, preparatory to delivery, tha
was sight to behold, and he hat
speed to burn.
1t was a good old-fashioned sluggint
game with the horsehide kept busy al
the time, shooting like a rocket.
Ben Boone umpired a fine game, ant
there was no kicking at his decisions

Schools TO Close
on Next Tuesday

The board of education has decided
70 close The .t,blic schools OF Isruns-
wick on next Tuesday instead OF Wed
nesday, as was at first announced.
This change was made owing to the
short time that many OF the teachers
w9tlds have had in reacit.ns h.I-
homes. Some Of the teaaaers reside
quite long distance from Brunswick.
Il the schools had closed W. ,nesday
they could not have possibly gotten
away before Wednesday night or
Thursday, arriving home on Christmas
day. In order to allow them more
time 10 reach their homes /. was de-
cided to close for the holidays on
Tuesday.
When the children and teachers are
dismissed Tuesday they viii n1t be
required to return to their duties un-
til Monday, January 4, 1909.
