RUSHING SUPPLIES
WORK OF AIDING ITALIAN EARTH.
QUAKE SUFFERERS PRO.
CROSSING RAPIDLY.
KING AND QUEEN IN ROME
Royal Pair Return From Their Work
Among Affllcted-Amerlca
Leads Other Nations In
Relief Work.

Rome. Jan. 1.-THE king and queer
arrived in this city Sunday night, com
ing by motor car from Naples. Theil
arrival was unexpected. The queen
looked tired and depressed, but the
king was energetic as usual.
Their majesties went very quietly to
the palace wishing to avoid any kind
of manifestation which they con
sidered improper, owing to Italy'i
grief. As soon as the news Of theil
arrival spread, however, the people
could not refrain from gathering and
manifesting their admiration for the
noble deeds Of the sovereigns in their
work among the afflicted.
The king communicated immediate
ly with Premier Giolitti. urging that
measures for the relief Of the sufferers
be adopted at once. The premier has
been working day and night and has
succeeded in providing shelter in the
way of tents, hospitals and asylums,
for 10000 persons, while other ar.
rangements are being made to pro-
vide for many thousands more.
The American ambassador, Lloyd
Grlscom, has appointed a committee
Of Americans, to which will be en-
trusted the work of utilizing the
money received from the United
States to the best advantage for the
earthquake sufferers.
Both at Messina and Reggie the
guards are having difficulty in pro-
tecting the survivors and the vast
treasure in the ruined buildings from
the bands of thieves that are swarm-
ing everywhere. 1t is reported that
six Prussian sailors have been shot
by looters at Messina and that 16
criminals have been killed at the same
place within the last "a hours. Six
hundred persons engaged in pillaging
have been arrested. In an engage
ment at Reggie between the police
and bandits two Of the police were
killed.
Reports still reach here Of the con-
tinuance of earth shocks some sutf1-
cient to do further great damage. Ae-
cording to these reports, new shocks
Saturday at Pellaro precipitated the
entire population into the sea, includ-
ing both dead and living victims OF the
first quake.
At Reggie the people are becoming
more calm and aid to that city Is now
being systematically forwarded. Mill
tary zones have been established
throughout Calabria.
The United States is far ahead OF
other nations in the relief work. Sun
day Ambassador Griscom succeeded
in finding an Austrian Lloyd steamer
Of 5000 tons capable Of carrying LOO
He has chartered the

not see how the trees can bear the burden of their fruit He thinks a lot of it will have to be shaken off to make room for the rest Then there is everything in the line of berries and small fruits; raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, etc, as well as the large asparagus field and other crops too numerous to mention.
 .Mr Stilwell was amazed when he was told that the farm had not been irrigated since the first of March. That treatment would not do for every Salt River valley farm, but it works on the Hall place. In the first place it is fine soil for fruits and garden. Then it is only ten or twelve feet to the normal water table below from which the roots draw their moisture. Another thing is that all sorts of meth ods are resorted to for conservation of the moisture. The orchard for in stance is grown up with weeds, not be- cause the Messrs. Hall are shiftless but because they regard the weeds as great friends in time of need. At the right time of the year when the irri- gating is over and the weeds are en- couraged to grow, are then moved down and form a perfect mulch and that which they draw from the soil goes back into it.
 These few remarks by MT Stilwell however are merely an index to what may be seen and learned there. He is surprised to appreciate that he has liv- ed here himself under the very shadow of the tree of knowledge so long. with out having looked it over. He says he has gloried in the orange orchards, the best beet fields. the alfalfa and grain fields and all the other won drous sights of the valley. but saw and learned more in his Sunday afternoon ride, than he could acquire in a week inspecting the attractions above nam ed
 And the greater lesson of all says the judge, is that of finding out just what sort of soil one needs for the particular crop he is going to raise, and then secure that kind of a piece of land, or else change the crop to fit the soil, for there is the glory of the soils, and one soil differeth from an other in glory"

Here the trio separated. one going to Phoenix, the other to Flagstaff, and MT. Lemcke made known his intentions of going to Seattle, where he said he had a brother who would take care of him. When last seen MT. Lemcke was in very bad condition. He not only suffered from lung trouble, but from drOpsy as well.
 J. F. Oben, of Wickenburg, says when he last saw MT. Lemcke his feet were so badly swollen that he could not get his shoes on. Mrs. Lemcke will probably do well to write to Seattle, where she will more than likely locate her husband. If she would like to ask any questions she is referred to The Republican correspondent at Wickenburg, who will do all that is possible for her.
 B. F. Hickman, of Pasadena, and C. IT. Sheu, of Salt Lake City, the new owners of the Dixie Queen mine, are about to begin extensive development work on the property. Emil Holden, a mining expert of this city, and dis coverer and former owner of the Dixie Queen, will have charge of the work for the new owners. He has received a telegram from Mir. Hick- man to begin operations at once, and MT. Holden expects to have a force of about ten men on the property the latter part of this week.
 Messrs. Hickman X Sheu are men of wealth, and have but one point in view, and that is to make the Dixie Queen one of the best copper producers in the country. Mir. Sheu himself is one of the best known copper experts in Salt Lake City and is said to be millionaire. The Dixie Queen is in Mohave county near the Bill Williams Fork of the Colorado river, and a twenty-fOot ledge which has been uncovered or the property by the former owners runs as high as 20 per cent.

THE LIGHT BREAKS
 ON A PHOENIX MAN
He Has Been Living Here For Years With His Eyes Half Closed-They
 Were Opened Wide Last Sunday.

Judge WI. IT Stillwell while passing down Adams street last night, in stinctively turned into The Republican office and as he entered the news de- partment he began to quote from First Corinthians as follows: There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory"
 Quite right" said the religious edi- tor, whereupon the judge turned to the farm editor and continued, in para phrase: And here in the Salt River valley there is one glory of the soils; for one soil differeth from another in glory" Quite right" said the farm editor, Whats the answer?" Then the judge said he just dropped in to open the safety valve for minute and let his enthusiasm readjust itself. He took a ride down the valley Sunday afternoon and passed by the nursery of Hall Brothers. Noting the sign and recalling former invitations to visit the place he decided it was a fine op- portunity, especially as it was warm and he wanted a drink of. water any way And it was what he saw there during a half hours stay that impress ed him so much he did not stop quot ing scripture for twenty-four hours and only inspired writings can fitting ly express the marvels of the Salt River valley, and especially Hall Brothers nursery.
 There is no purpose at this time to describe the nurseries. That has been done before and may be again some time, but only a general reference was made by Judge Stillwell to illustrate what q wonderful place it is and how little most of the valley peope know about it Every prospective farmer and horticulturist in this valley should visit the nursery before he begins business. for lot of reasons. One is to note the soil for while all soil in this valley is glorious and good for one thing or another, "one soil differeth from another soil in glory" Hall Brothers seem to have the finest in the world for this particular business; that is for the special production of the greatest number of things they raise And the variety of fruits grown is quite amazing to those who think the valley is limited to peaches, pears, ap- ricots and strawberries. At Hall Brothers place one may find almost every fruit raised in the country be tween the Sonora and the Canadian lines. in some quantity or of some va riety Some kinds of course are not well adapted to this valley but they can be grown with the right attention but there are more kinds that grow here to perfection, than one can find anywhere else. Even cherries, hitherto supposed to be impossible here. were successfully grown this season.
 On one vine Mir Stillwell saw sev- enteen cantalOupes, by actual count fighting each other for room to grow in There are plums of small pit thick meat and delightful taste; in fact almost any kind of a plum one might name. The pear orchard was a marvel and all the trees are loaded with fruit. MT. Stilwell says he does

New Political Refnrnn.

Stating that the United States is the "only habitually misgOverned democ- racy" and the only one to have a separate class of professional politi- clans, Richard & Childs in the Out look of this week urges a drastic re- ductiOn in the number of elective off cials in cities, counties and states as a means of putting the people "on top in politics.
 Starting from the obvious fact that the average voter registers a personal OpiniOnt regarding the conspicuous nominees only and has no opinion whatever to express regarding state treasury, county clerks, etc, the au- thor urges that the minor places should all be filled by appointment This would result in a short ballot containing only a few names and the limelight of public scrutiny would focus upon them so intensely that all voters could and would discriminate without having to go into politics" to get their information.
 After tracing the connection between the present typical long ballot and government by politicians the writer concludes as follows:
 Good government is entirely q mat ter of getting the right man elected Nothing else is so vital. No city char ter or state constitution, however in genious. will make bad men give good government or keep good men from getting good results To get the right men is first of all a matter of ar ranging for the maximum amount of concentrated public scrutiny at the election. It is not superior intelligence in the British electorate that enables it uniformly to elect the best men in town to the city councils. save in that the individual voter in the ward se- lects only a single officer at election, and can hardly fail to know just what he is doing. Likewise there cannot be a mysterious virtue in the new plan of governing American cities by small commissions (the success of which in Galveston, Houston and Des Moines is undeniable) save In that the import ance and conspicuousness of the five

cOmmissionerships attracts so fierce a limelight at election that no unworthy figure who ventures into that blazing circle can hope to conceal his un- worthiness from the eyes of even the most careless voter.
 The Galveston plan would be bet ter yet if the commissioners were elected one at a time for long terms in rotation. Then public scrutiny at election would focus still more search ingly on the candidates. and merit would increase still further in value as a political asset.
