Some Decided Improvements on the
 Reed Ranch East of Town.

Al the Reed orange grove east of town. some decided improvements are being made. that will add materially tO the appearance of the ranch, and the comfort of the owner as well as his live stock When MT. Reed came here from Colorado he brought with him a few ideas regarding barns and houses. that are not generally given great deal of consideration by the average Arizonian. His first move, as soon as he could spare the time from ranch work. was the building of a spacious twO-story barn. This has just been completed and yesterday work was started in the pulling down of the house. This will be replaced with a modern structure as soon as carpenters are able to do it.
 Mir. Reed is fortunate in having the railroad close at hand. and by a spec ial arrangement with the company. was able to have his lumber shipped from the Buckeye yard at Phoenix di- rect to the building spot. in car load lots. thus doing away with all hauling and considerably reducing :hc eN penSe.

Gor THE WRONG HORSE.

There was a moment of excitement
 in the vicinity of Bucks livery sCable
 Sunday afternoon, that came near re- Sulting seriously for one of the par
 ties concerned. It seems that a ranch CT had placed a horse in 1.-the stable for the day and in the afternoon sent man that was working for him, after the rig It happened that the man who put up the rig was away, and the man after the rig thought he knew the horse he wanted. He deSig- hated a big bay which was according ly hitched up- He got in the rig and started to drive out of the stable. No sooner than he made the start. then the horse began a few stunts that would have done credit to a bronco. He bucked all around the News office. and finally threw himself. breaking one shaft, and the man in the rig left it in hurry. taking the dashboard with him. It transpired that the man had pointed out the wrong. horse. one that was used as q saddle horse. and had not been hitched up before in years.

If there is a street left in the city that was not mentioned for paving at the meeting of the City Council Mon day night, 1t is not listed on the map of Montgomery. The trend of events seems to show that since the last meet ing there have been some dozen souls with but a single thought-pave every scrap of highway on which pavement can be laid.

Perhaps there is a better rounded | bill of vaudeville on the Southern cir cult than the one shown at the Majes- tic Theatre this week. but we are from Missouri. Just the right combination has been struck in this weeks offer ing. and eastern houses would be glad to offer such a combination to their audiences as was seen at Mon- days matinee and night. There's black-faced fun. dancing. acrobats. comedy skits and excellent moving pictures. ~
 Last week thare was a headliner to the bill standing strongly from the surrounding acts, but the same cannot be said to be true in the same measure for this week. Everything is good from start to finish but the finish the others. But this is not said in sighting the other offerings.
 Now as to. this last turn. Noblette and Marshail, Perhaps 1t Is because there's a very pretty woman in the sketch, perhaps 1t Is because she is from Nashville. Tenn. perhaps 1t Is because of the bright lines she gets off; perhaps-welI. never mind just what 1t Is. It's there. and the turn justly deserves to be placed first on the
 The James R. Waite and Company presenting the nautical comedy drama would be the star act, if it were not for Noblette and Marshall Waite. as the old seadog and the proud owner of new boat, Is excellent, while his supporting company is well chosen. The scenery is good, and the whole ef- feet pleasing.
 In the brothers De Van, Manager Couch has an excellent offering. The pair are good in their stunts them selves. and they have a pair of dogs. one a fox terrier that exhibit the in- telligence of a human. One of the dogs plays the third man in the three high, while the other is the third man in the rolly-poly tumble. And the dogs enjoy the well deserved ap- plause.
 Hi Manning, the black faced man, has a good line of hot air. The pleas ing thing about his turn Is it's origi- nality. There are one or two old tim CTS in the bunch he gets off, but the audience doesn't realize them In the way HI tells it. And then there are the sisters Thompson. Both are good to look at. and they demonstrated last evening that they could dance. They have a song or two. but 1t is In the dancing that they earn their applause.
 Cora Beach Turner and Company have a little skit showing the make believe jealous husband. And 1t is case of another pretty girl to car ry this rather we'll worn slSit to sue cess. That 1t is successful was shown by the audience. Marie Clark, "rhe girl with the red-hair." has a bunch of songs that please, but following as she does upon the acrobattc act. she is unfortunately placed.
 The bill is closed with the moving pictures. and they are fully up to the high standard set by the Majestic.

It is claimed for COTTOLENE, however, that 1t can be used in every way that lard is, that 1t makes light, rich, delicious pastry which can be digested with ease by the most delicate stomach, and that it is slso more economical than lard, one-thi-d less being required.
