DRY FARMING. :
IN ARIZONA;
ITS FUTURE
In Sulphur Springs Valley Old
Timers Would Hardly Rec
ognize Topography Now
Lands Being Taken Up Fast.

Old timers OF Bisbee would be
greatly surprised were they TO take
couple Of days tour over in tlres
Sulphur Springs valley, which they
have not seen for perhaps a couple
of years, and observe the great
changes taking place in that beauti-
tul valley with its rich soil. For the
past two years and especially for the
past six months, the office of Unitet.
States Commissioner Stanford, as we'll
as the office Of United States commits
sioners elsewhere, nave been busy
with land seekers who are filing on
government land, making both home
stead and desert claims, and pIvpar
ing to make their homes where only
two decades ago the Apache roamed
and the cattle baron has since aelu
full sway, deeming the soil fit only
for cattle raising
Dry farming during the past few
years has been demonstrated to be
practical success in western Kan
sas, west Texas, eastern Colorado and
eastern New Mexico Homesteaders
from all parts of the east have been
put into the sections in great
numbers for the past five years,
reaching such proportions last year
that the land office at Clayton, New
Mexico. alone was credited with over
10000 homestead applications. These
homesteadS have been entered vlI
lands where the rainfall is only slight
iy in excess of that in this section,
and kaffir corn, milo maize, melons
and wheat and oats have been raised
successfully. cattle and hogs fattened.
The price of land has gone up from IL
cents an acre to so and 500 an acre
in some cases. The same conditions
viii hold good in this section The
land can be deep plowed, soil stirred
often during the right season of the
year and all the rain that falls will
be absorbed by the ground instead
of running of The moisture thus
preserved can be utilized in turning
the grassy plains into fields of grain
and food for stock.
All the best land for miles in the
Sulphur Springs valleys, as we'll as in
the vicinity of the Chirichua moun-
tains has been taken up. and farm
houses and barns are going up rapidly.

ping is a positive detnnent to good
service. because those who are IN the
habit of receiving tips look upon therl
as perqiisites which righttully belong
to Them, and grow careless and indif-
ferent when they are not forthcoming
On the other hand, the patron OF res
taurant, barber shop or what not who
pays the full price charged for what he
gets is entitled to as much attention
and to as good service as the next man,
no matter how lal ;sh he may be with
tips. 1t is almost impossible to break
up the practice, but it would be boon
to humanity if some proprietor would
make it his business to see that the
man who doesn't tip gets the full worth
of his money At this stage OF the
game the proprietor is engaged in max

who wait upon him. Il isn't square

Health Office 1t is tits:

Lunch rooms and hotel kitchens must
be clean. There can be no question
about that. Even among the indicted
proprietors there will be no dispute of
the need for absolute cleanliness, the
only question being whether or not the
accused were caught in their own neg
lect. When those of Us who are Gus
toners buy food we have a right to
clean food. to food free from any danger
which would not attach TO it in a we'll
ordered home, TO food served in clean
dishes. Fortunately, the law provides
against this neglect in all its phases,
and we have officials of government
who mean to enforce the law.
But lunch rooms are not the only
danger Soda water fountains, baker
les, confectioneries, fruit stands, ice
cream factories, dairies with big d.,
and groceries must all be inspected and
watched. The careful and honest
dealer has nothing to lose from such
examination, and everything to gain.
Likewise the people. And for the pro
lection OF the latter it is essential that,
wherever justified, the officials shall 60

ent Of her aged cook, who was too in
firm to be good for much in the cooking
line, but could answer very well a. a
souvenir or keepsake, TO the policeman
on the beat. On the afternoon of the
following day she rode on an elephant
to one of the principal department
stores, and offered to paint the portrait
of the proprietor in exchange for silk
kimono.
Now let US consider these further cir
cumstances. There appeared in New
York paper, of date some time about
the midle of June, an advertisement
which read thus: -
Missing from the premises Of the
undersigned. at the corner Of Spruce
and Goose streets, borough Of Man
haitian, one elephant. Answers to the
name Of Girly, and has a slight crick
in its back. A reward of 81 will be
paid for its return TO the above ad
dress.
Comparing this advertisement with
the fact that the princess had an ele-
plant when she arrived in Washington,
and that the date of the disappearance
of Girly from New York corresponded
roughly with the time of the appear
ance of the princess at Washington;
and then, noting further that shortly
after her arrival in Washington the
princess shipped her elephant to New
York; what is more reasonable than 70
believe than that the elephant 50
shipped was Girly, ana that it was be-
ing returned to secure the advertised
reward?
Thus far we have done nothing much
to show that the New York celebrity
and the likewise celebrated Princess
Parlaghy are one. But the following
news item, clipped from a late New
York exchange is at least significant:
Officer SparoIw. Of the Bowery and
Spring street, had his attneuon di-
rected yesterday TO Well-dresSed
post and with her free hand waving
aloft a 81 bill On approaching her. lie

rather fancy that settles it, Two dol

York.

Taft does not beieve in tipping. OF
course, the tipping question if it is
brought into the campaign will be a
double edged sword, but we are salts
field the anti-tippers would win in a
walk if the result of the election de-

referred to says:

that it puts the man who doesn't prac-
