SOME DAMAGE DONE
 BY SUNDAYS STORM
Ali Wires Connecting With Outside Districts Thrown Down.

A terrific wind and dust storm swept over Mesa and the surrounding country Sunday evening, beginning about-six o'clock This was-a prelude to the heavy rain shower which fol- lowed and lasted for about one hour, While some damage was done here, the town escaped the most destructive portion of the storm, the storm center being south of the base line. where the full force of it's energy was plain ly visible this morning.
 The storm was preceded by a dull roaring sound coming from the east, and for quite a while before 1t ma terIalized here, many were fearful that this town would receive the full force of the wind. This, however, was not the case as the storm body moved in a westerly direction and to the south.
 One of the employees of Chandeliers s ranch, in coming to Mesa yesterday morning, counted forty telephone poles which were blown down. The dust storm was one of the worst that has visited this section for many years, it being impossible to see across the street at many times, while it pre- vailed. Main street looked like cloud of smoke from one end to the other.
 While the telephone service in the city was not seriously injured, all of the wires connecting the outside dis tricts are down, and it is expected that it will be some time before communi- cation by this means with the outside world will be resumed. Trouble was also experienced with the electric wires. A pole carrying some of these wires was blown down on Cuber street near the home of Dudley Jones. the wires snapping and breaking, and the damp ground on which they fell caused them to continuously send out sparks of fire, consuming the m- sulation. A tent house south of town was relieved of its shake roof, and the occupants were not aware of this, un- | til they went outside after the storm and were informed by neighbor whc was passing, that the roof was lying fifty feet away, in another lot.
 Joseph Moreno, native employed by the commission firm of l.. B. John
 son and company had an exciting ex- perience in the storm while driving t' Tempe, where he was going to YlsI with his family. He was driving
 double team and when nearing Tempe and just east of the creamery. one O
 a group of five cOttonwoods. wa! blown over. falling just behind hi carriage He urged his horses on t'
 greater speed, just in time to escap' the other four trees. which cam crashing to the ground after he ha' driven by. He passed the creameri there as the smoke stack blew ovei He also saw two tent houses, picked III bodily and carried to the railroa track; their contents being strewn t the four winds.

INTEREST, OF A HEN
 IN lift EGG MARKED l

Much has been said from time I1 time of the industry of the hens of D. c. Warren, which lay not only more eggs than any other hens in the coun- try, but also higher priced eggs. His hens enter into the spirit of the busi- ness md take an interest in not only the production of the eggs, but dlsa in their delivery to the market IF proper shapa.
 On Saturday afternoon MT. War ren was getting ready to come to towE and had arranged things in his buggy for the journey. He had two or three gunny sacks thrown in the bottom of the buggy. The buggy stood thcre for an hour or two and at different tines Mir Warren noticed chickens in it. Finally he got ready to start aHd when he arrived in town he took hold of one of the sacks which seemed un- usually heavy for an empty sack. A further investigation showed that there was a hen on and that she had laid an egg. which rolled out or the bottom of the buggy.
 It seemed to be the idea of the hen that at this time of year the averdSa egg brought to the market becomes an object of suspicion, but in Ihe case of personally conducted egg Ike hers there could be no suspicion, for she was Johnny On-the-spo to guaran tee the up-to- dateness of it.
 Hens are not supposed to do very well at this season of the year No body feels like doing his pest, out | the hens of Mir. Warren between Sat- | urday afternoon and yesterday TOOTH ing had produced seven dozen eggs All these eggs now find a read" sale at 35 cents a dozen.

 Storm
The Damage In the Tempe District Runs Up Into the Thousands.

The Sunday evening storm was more far reaching in its destruction than it was possible to imagine until yes terday morning, when a daylight view of the situation could be had. The main items about town were fairly well covered in yesterdays paper, but the reports from the farming districts did not begin to come in until yes terday forenoon. As much or more damage occurred south of town as within the city proper and there was scarcely a rancher in the path of the storm who did not suffer more or less loss The sum total of it runs up Into the thousands of dollars and it is by all odds the hardest and most de- structive storm that ever visited this section.

Hundreds of trees were blown down and there is hardly a small ditch in the Tempe section that will carry a head of water, for the reason that many of the trees blown over were on the banks Of the ditches. When they went over they took anywhere from one to a dozen square yards of dirt with them, and in many cases this represented just so much ditch bank More than one road was impossible yesterday and the carrier on route No. 1 found it im- possible to cover certain parts of the route on account of the trees across the roads.
 A brief resume of the damage in cured in the farming districts fol- lows: Chris Jacobsen's hay ware house near the double Butte was to- tally wrecked Not only was the roof blown off. but the rafters were twisted and broken. That point marked the west boundary line of the storm and the Tempe canal directly east marked the east line of it. There was some wind on the east side of the canal but not enough to speak of, and little | damage was reported.
 One of the Petersen windmills was | blown over and smashed and a mil | of Frank Fogals suffered a similar

CANTALOUPE GROWERS
 FEARFUL OF APHlS
Especially if Continued Rains Should Prevail.

Up to yesterday morning, eighty-siX cars of cantaloupes had been sent out by the Melon Growers association here MT Cox who has charge of the shipments for the H. Woods Commis- sion company in Chicago. in speaking of the quality of the melons, said that the cantaIoupes produced here this season are superior in every particular to those grown heretofore. The mel Ons are sweeter, of a finer flavor, and permit of a larger percent of standards to the car than has been the case with melons raised previously. about one third of the melons being ponies. Some Of the producers are of the opinion, however. that the vines raised from the seed distributed this spring. do not produce as abundantly as they
 have during past seasons.
 l The shipments are now being re- ceived in Chicago in good condition, and prices from now on ought to be much better, as the California grow CTS have practically finished sending shipments from the Imperial Valley. Valley.
 The rain of Sunday evening last
 came at about as opportune d time as lc)uld have been the case, as the ma Iinrity O. the farmers are just between

4 NEW PLAYHOUSE
 FOR EASTLAkt PARK
The Raymond Whitiker Go. Will Open in the Old One in Few Days, Pending the Construction of New Building.

Manager s. H. Mitchell of Eastlake park, has closed a contract with the Raymond Whitiker Stock company for an indefinite engagement at Eastlake park. The company will arrive here on Thursday and it is possible will give a performance that night That is not definitely assured and the open ing may not take place until Monday night. July 20, but MT Mitchell hopes for the earlier opening if the company has no delays. Anyhow later an nouncement of dates will be made. | The Raymond Whitiker company is we'll recommended to MT. Mitchell and he has every reason to believe it will prove to be a first class aggregation. one the people of Phoenix will be pleased to patronize all summer and as much longer as the company can be prevailed upon to stay. It has just closed a twelve weeks engagement in Bakersfield, California, where it play ed to good business.
 There are. fourteen stage people in the company. The leading lady is Margaret Pitt, who played an inn lportant part in the original produc- ton of Ben Hur in New York, and who has also appeared in many other notable plays in the metropolis The Heading man is Raymond Whitiker, and the opening bill will be "The Christian"
 by Hall Caine, one of the most not
 able stage successes of recent years
 As will be noted the company is large one, able to present first class productions and unless MT. Mitchell
 has been poorly advised there is dramatic treat in store for the Phoe- l nix people
 What is still more to the point, Mir. Mitchell announces that if this com I pany scores the success he expects it z to it will insure the building of new
 and thoroughly up to date and att n ltractive theater building at the park. This announcement has often been
 made. but always as a hope or a need
 rather than an assurance. MT Mitch ell says there is no hot air about 1t n lproject this time. It is his desire to
 make the park a real attraction and : build for permanency. If the Whiti- :. ker company makes good, before it's immediate engagement shall have eX-
 pired Mir Mitchell will have the con tractors at work on a new building llwhich will be erected as quickly as IIpossible It will not be mere re- pairing of the old shack, but new structure entirely. that will be con- Ilfortable. even when the cooler weather ! comes and may be more or less . permanent play house regardless Oi rhe seasons, especially through the
 fall until the winter season Is fully
 on. The need of such building has |, long been appreciated by the manage I lment as we'll as the public, but there I have been disappointments of on'
 kind and another that have delayed
 the project which is now to be under
 taken vigorously if there is any en
 fcouragement at all.

THE RAIN ON THE DESERT

Tom Buchanan accompanied by his wife, were Mesa visitors yesterday, spending the day shopping, and buying supplies for their ranch. Mir Buch- anan reports the range as looking splendidly for this season of the year, and states that the desert has received considerably larger portion of the recent rains than has the valley. The hills surrounding his home at Desert Wells are well covered with green verdure. and there is plenty of feed there for the range fed stock.
 MT. Buchanan says there is about five feet of water in his reservoir and he, expects it to be full before the rains discontinue. When completely filled, this covers an area of some sixteen acres, and will hold a years supply of water for his stock.

pRTLAND MEN CHARGED
FORCING RAILROAD PASSES

San Francisco. Oct. 6.-Charles
'halrklll and J. P. Monahan, former
clerks in railroad Offices in Portland.
We're arrested Sunday on telegraphic
advices from that city, charging them
with the theft of blank railroad
passes and the forgery of names Of
officials.
Thairkill and Monahan are exceed
Ing well-dressed young men, and ac-
cording to their statements, have
been employed in railroad circles
throughout the Northwest recently.
For some weeks railroad detectives
nave been engaged in trying to trace
number OF forged passes that have
come to light in the Northwest. and
1t is believed that the two men have
operated extensively.
When searched at the police sta
ton two blank Southern Pacific and
two blank Oregon Railroad & NaW
cation COmpany's passes were found
on them. They admit coming to Sal
Francisco on passes which they hal
stolen and forged. but deny tina
they have been guilty Of other of
lenses.
According to detectives, somebody
has recently been doing large bust
ness in forged passes. These passes
were sold to ticket scalpers, who dis
posed of them to travellers The forg-
cries have been good enough to defy
detection until the passes were re-
turned to the general offices OF the
roads. Thairkill and Monahan have
out eXtraditiOn. When arrested they
had but a small sum Of money ON
them.

LARGE TRACT OPENED
Last Of Uncle Sans Distributions In
tic Rosebud Reservation.

Dallas. s. D., Oct. 1.-TWO hun
dred thousand persons will take adj
vantage OF the opening Of $4,000
acres of free Government land in
South Dakota that was thrown open
Monday. The parceliIg of this vast
tract of farm country in the Rosebud
Indian reservation is the last of
Uncle Sans big land distributions.
Every one is to have a chance at a
160-acre slice. Land adjoining ii is
now selling at $40 to $50 an acre.
1t is estimated that this drawing will
surpass all other Government open
ings in the number who will take
part, at least 100000 people being
expected to register. The number OF
160-acre farms is 5000. This means
that only one person out of every 40
can possibly get a farm.
Crowds of people arrived at the
border days before the opening and
set up tents prepared to make COM
Portable stay until after the draw
ing. The registration points are at
Dallas and Gregory. s. D.. on the east
border Of the reservation; Chamber
lain and Presho. s. D., on the north.
and O'Neill and Valentine, Neb.. on
the south.
