THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS
Prolific Patches That Arc Making Fine
 Homes For Settlers

While Arizona is busy calling the at- tenton of the world to the vast aero age in her large agricultural valleys, it should not be forgotten that there are hundreds and thousands of little noun tain valleys that will some day afford q living for one or more families, many of them whole settlements, when better methods of water supply are devised and mining twon markets are multiplied. And these valleys will doubtless prove just as prolific as the larger ones, though in some of them a different sort of crop will be raised. Here is fine testimony of what one man is doing in the Chiri- cahua mountains, remote from larger towns and unhcard of by the throngs that cross on the transcontinental rail roads. The facts are from the Douglas Dispatch.
 "R. D. Hall came in from the Chir- icahuas yesterday and reports that when he left early yesterday morning there was heavy fall of snow, and it was still showing. MT. Hall says the snow fall has been above the average this winter and the prospects, for an abun dance of water and an early vegetation look fine. He is enthusiastic on the Chirieahua country, where he is engaged in raising vegetables and garden truck. "This year." said MT. Hall, "I shall have over twenty acres under cultiva- ton in vegetables for the market, and am going to try berry raising, too. I have out now two hundred plants and will shortly set ut hrec hundred more. With the soil we have in the Chiricah- uas and the perpetual running water, any man with five acres under culti- vation can make it bring him 5000 year. On one three-quarter acre tract l have for three years earned over $l,e00. Take eabbages: One can set in an acre 6,200 plants, many of which will grow to weight of thirty pounds. But say they only average ten pounds. We have then 62,000 pounds per acre, which at the low selling price of three cents per acre will produce revenue from that single acre of slS60. Yes, the Chirieahua country is nearly per feet, agriculturally, as well as beautiful to look at. -

TERRIBLE FATE OF AN ELECTRICAL
 L|NEMAN
TOUCHED A LIVE WIRE AND RE cEIvED SHOCK, CAUSING AL
 MOST INSTANT DEATH.
DEAD BODY REMOVED FROM THE WIRE BY FIRE DEPARTMENT
 WHICH WAS SUMMONED.

TUCSON, March 25.-Carl T. Voc mans, lineman in the employ of the local telephone company, was electro. cuted yesterday morning while work. ing on South Stone avenue near Me. Cormick street.
 In some way one of the wires which he was handling became heavily charged When the lineman touched this wire he received shock which resulted in his death almost instantly
 The lineman s death cry whom be re- ccived the shock was heard by J. NJ. Ormsby, who was sitting on his front porch. The lineman had been working on a pole just short distance from the Ormsby home.
 When the lineman received the shock he lurched forward and fell across a number of telephone wires. His hat fell on the sidewalk, but the wires kept the body from falling to the street.
 Ormsby rushed into his house hur. riedly and telephoned to the local ex, change stating that one of the linemen had been injured and probably electro. euted on Stone avenue.
 Several linemen who were at the of. fee hurried to Stone avenue and en, deavored to take Yoemans of the wire. They were unsuccessful, however, and an alarm was sent in for the fire dc. partment.
 When the fremon arrived they put up a ladder and assisted by the tele, phone linemen they succeeded in taking YOemans body down.
 Yoemans hands were frightfully burned and there were marks on h.s legs where the heavily charged wires had touched him.
 He was about thirty years old and had been in tho employ of the tele- phone company for eight months. He was considered one of their best work men.
 News that lineman was lying un- conscious across several telephone wires spread rapidly and in short time several hundred people had gathered.
 Several volunteers in the crowd of fered to climb the pole to take Toe

 The body was still warm, but there was every indication that life was ex. tinct. Yoemans was placed on the hose cart and hurry run was made to Parker's chapel. There he was worked over for half hour by pr. w. V. Whit. more, but all the efforts were without avail.
 Yoemans was single and came to Tue son from Rochester, x. r., where his parents reside. They were informed this forenoon of their sons accidental death. His remains will be held await ing a reply from them as to their dis position.

 AND COMMENT

Only seventy miles of railway is yet to be builded to connect Yuma with Calexico. Work is being rushed on this gap.
 The Yuma Examiner announces that it will no longer print patent medicine advertisements. There is no immediate prospects, in the mind of the Examiner editor, at least, that Yuma will go dry. The Examiner explains its posi- ton by stating that suggestion often leads to illness. Working along this theory and faithfully carrying 1t out the Examiner should give "2S' order to the advertisements of the local under takers.
 The old settlers of Maricopa county will hold a picnic on April 9.
 The municipal government of Tempe will undertake to exterminatc mosqui- toes by the crude petroleum route. A large quantity of oil has been purchased and will be applied to cess pools, clos cts, sinks and other places where the insects are liable to breed.
 Near Yuma an imported pet eat was found out in the yard playing with big rattlesnake, the only one the eat ever saw. The owner of the cat came out and killed the snake before 1t had bitten the eat.

LONDON PRAISES KAISER.
Greater Because He Yielded Than
if He Had Resisfed


LONDON, November 1S.-It is rare in
deed to find such a chorus of appreciation
of the German emperor in London edi-
torials as that called forth this morning
by the outcome of the Potsdam interview.
The praise bestowed upon his attitude
would seem fulsome. but that adverse
criticism of the emperor is dealt out I'M
sparingly by the British press when his
conduct Is disapproved. He never seemed
greater in the eyes of the London news
papers than today, while congratulations
are offered, though less effusively, to
Prince Won Buelow and the German peo-
pie.
The Telegraph, whose publication Of the
notorious interview called up the German
crisis, says the issue of the Potsdam
fallen between the monarch and the ma
tiOn 1t will go far to restore the old
feeling of serene confidence The kaiser
has known how to yield manfully and
royalty, thereby displaying finer courage
than If he had resisted. The trust and
confidence of his people were well worth
whatever effort 1t cost his majesty to give
his pledge. His frank recognition of the
state of public feeling in his own land will
surely cause an immediate reaction I'm his
favor there. The personal admiration of
Englishmen for his majesty will be in
creased by his attitude toward Chancellor
Won Buelow, whose conduct has been be-
yond all praise.
The Daily Mail says: Since the barons
of England presented their utimatum to
King John, history has offered few spec
tacles more dramatic.
The Mail thinks that though Europe will
be freed from alarms and anxiety, Ger
many will not be satisfied until the en-
peror's pledge has been incorporated in
the constitution.
The Standard says: The emperor never
has been greater than he is today, at the
moment OF surrendering some of his per-
sonal power at the popular bidding"
