Regarding the exclusiveness of the companys franchise MT. Ensign said the contract stip- ulates that the government shall not sell power within the city of Phoe- nix in quantities less than from 100 to 800 kilowatts, to any other person. That is to say the city. or any private individual who may want power for running the city water plant or any manufacturing industry, in quantities of more than 100 kilowatts may secure it. It is exclusive only in so far as it applies to houselighting. Everyone that comes in and utilizes cheap pow CT, brings many families who become patrons of it's city lighting plant. The company anticipates a reduction of it's charges for house lighting but how much of a reduction cannot now be even estimated. The amount of it5 patronage will be a factor and a thing to consider is that $S0.000 worth of new machinery must be installed be- fore the government power can be utilized
 Concerning the general situation MT. Ensign said that in most big power projects the advantage of the company lies in securing large patrons of pow

MIX and Butter in Japan.

There was a time when milk was
regarded in Japan with the same alb
horrence as cheese is in China, es-
pecially the pungent and strong
smelling variety. Recent statistics,
however, according to Consul Will
bur T. Gracey, show that time has
worked a great change in this respect
and milk and butter are now in great
favor in Japan Whereas twenty-five
years ago not more than one or two
per cent. of the persons visiting a
European restaurant, or eating a
European meal at friends house,
would have thought of touching butt
ter, fully forty'or fifty per cent. now
eat it with relish. They are, how
ever, quite content to do without.
AS to dairy farms, they have in
creased notably in recent years. But
ter, however, is a byproduct at these
places 1t is to milk that they look
for their profit. Milk has a curious
history in this country. Thirty or
forty years ago it was abhorred. The
average Japanese could not induce
himself to drink it, But to-day many
a household consumes one or two
bottles of milk daily, partly because
doctors have recommended it as a
unique and wholesome beverage.
Milk halls, too, are now quite num-
erous. Butter will probably take
much longer to come widely into
vogue, because of its expensiveness.
A pound of fresh butter costs at least
one yen (49.S cents gold) in Toxic
to-day, an extremely high price for
Japan.

The Three Peanut States.

Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia are
the leading peanut states. In Virgin
ia the white peanut and the small red
peanut are the varieties chiefly pro-
duced, while Georgia also produces
this small red nut. In Tennessee the
white nut, which is larger than the red
and the larger variety of the red nut
are raised. The chief peanut counties
are Humphreys, Perry, Hickman and
Dickson, but the area of peanut cult
walton has been enlarged in more re-
cent years. Few peanuts are pro-
duced in East or West Tennessee, but
in the counties named they are the
chief money crop of large percent
of the farmers. The peanut has many
names goober, pindar, earthnut,
groundnut, groundpea. Northern sol
diers called them COOLERS, and there
was well known song entitled "Grab-
bling Goober Peas" which was a fav-
orite with troops marching through
Georgia" According to the 1904 CEN
sus the total peanut crop amounted to

Midni9ht MurdererS.
BY ". \. HoRNADAY.

The desire to murder for the sake
OF killing is born in some carniyorous
animals, and by others it is achieved.
Among the largest and finest OF the
felines, the lions and tigers, midnight
murders are very rare. Individual dis
like is shown boldly and openly, and
we are given fair chance to prevent
fatalities. Among the lions, tigers,
leopards, jaguars, and pumas OF the
New York Geological Park, twenty
eight in number, there has been but
one murder. That was the crime OF
Lopez. the big jaguar, who deserved
instant death as punishment. It was
one of the most cunning crimes
have ever seen among wild animals,
and is now historic.
For year Lopez pretended osten-
tatiously to be good natured ami
NAL. Twenty times at least he acted
the part Of a playful pet, inviting me
to reach him and stroke him. AT
last we decided to give him cage
mate, and a fine adult female jaguar
was purchased. The animals actually
tried to caress each other through
the bars, and the big male completely
deceived us all.
At the end of two days it was con-
sidered safe to permit the female
jaguar to enter the cage of Lopez.
She was just as much deceived as we
were. An animal that is afraid always
leaves it's travelling cage slowly and
unwillingly, or not at all. When the
two sets of doors were opened, the
female joyously walked into the cage
Of her treacherous admirer. In an
instant, Lopez rushed upon her,
seized her whole neck in his powerful
jaws, and crushed her cervical verte-
brae by his awful bite. We beat him
over the head; we spiked him; we
even tried to brain him; but he held
her, as bulldog would hold kitten,
until she was dead He was deter
mined to murder her, but had cum
ningly concealed his purpose until his
victim was fully in his wer.-From

determination of Mosquitoes.


Consul William Henry Bishop, of
Palermo, Italy, transmits the follow
ing information relative TO expert
ments made by the chief of the sani-
tary service at Gaboon, French
Africa, with the cactus as substi-
tute for petroleum for the extermina-
ton of mosquitoes in warm climates.
The thick, pulpy leaves of the cac-
tus, cut UP in pieces, arc thrown into
water and macerated until a sticky
paste is formed. This paste is
spread upon the surface of stagnant
water, and forms an isolating layer
which prevents the larvae of the mos
quitoes from coming to the top TO
breathe and destroys them through
asphyxiation. 1t is true that petro-
leum can do the same service, but in
warm climates petroleum evaporates
too quickly and is thus of little avail
The mucilaginous cactus paste, on
the contrary, can hold its place in
definitely, lasting weeks, months, or
even an entire year; and the period
of development of the larvae being
but about fortnight, it has the
most thorough effect. Scientific

Again to Elect Their Trustees.
Meeting Set for Feb. Fl.

At the annual meeting of the We
nafcbee Valley Fruit Growers Asso-
cation, held yesterday, the el2; i N
of officers held was found to be il
legal. Accordingly another election
will have to be held. 1t was found
after the election that, according to
the bylaws of the organization, to
constitute legal election there
must be majority of the stock rep
resented. Owing to the large num-
ber of stockholders and the lateness
of the hour at which the election
was held, the number voting was
less than the required number.
Accordingly, the election will be
held at the next meeting of the as
sociation, which is called for Feb
21. At the meeting yesterday the
following had the highest number
of votes for trustees of the organiza-
ton. From Wenatchee William Tur-
