TERR|TORYs REVENUE
 FROM A NEW SOURCE
Taxes to Be Collected This Year of Telegraph, Telephone and Express Companies.

The territorial auditor has been do- ing some statistical wor1 recently, and is now prepared to announce the amount he is going to pinch out of the gross receipts of the telephone, telegraph and express companies un- der the provisions of chapter 62, ses- sions laws of 1909, for the benefit of the territorial treasury. This is a new source of revenue, and this year will net the territory s3,246.5S.
 The law requires that these corpo- rations shall all file with the auditor by April l reports of their business for the year ending December 31 of the preceding year. showing the gross rev enues on business originating or ter minating within the territory. Of this total, one per cent must be paid to the territorial treasurer between May 15 and July l, the auditor having on or before May Is filed schedule of his computations with the treasurer. There is no tax on through business of the lines
 All this has been done and shows the amount of taxes to be collected from this source this year as above given. Further analysed the auditors computation shows the gross receipts of the telephone companies to have been S233,405.4S. and the tax $2.334.06. The local business of the telegraph copanies amounted to $2i i,2SS.67, and the tax $272S7. The local business of the express companies amounted to $63, ,966.56. and the tax, s639.65.
 The statistical figures show that there are two express companies oper ating and three telegraph lines, one of which is the United Verde railroad line, which does no commercial >busi ness it can avoid, being almost eX- cmsively a railroad line. and the town of Jerome. being supplied by a West ern Union wire for commercial busi ness. The most surprising fact to the general reader will be the announce ment that there are twenty-five tele- phone companies in the territory doing commercial business, besides the knowledge acquired of numerous little private wires that do no business for which a charge is made. Most people only think of the Gila valley line, the Consolidated, and the Prescott lines, but it is shown by the auditors sched- ule that there are twenty-five of them. all doing a business of considerable magnitude. Except those named, most of them were primarily organized by mining companies for the transaction of their private business, where it centers at widely separated points. but they serve the public for accommo- dation rather than profit. though they charge for the service as an offset to the expense, and to make the lines as nearly self supporting as possible.

BARLEY STORY FROM

The biggest barley story of this season, todate, comes from the Christian ranch at Buckeye, now owned by Geo M. Hahn and C. B. King. and which is under the sup erintendency of John Raugh, who

A "Hoodoo Eaa'

In the June Wide World Magazine is shown a typical "bad-luck" VoOdOO bag, more commonly called a hoo doc bag" such as is used by the negro NOodoo doctors of the Southern states. Believers in the mysterious VoOdoo cult have implicit faith in the power of these little bags to bring bad luck to anyone to whom they may be sent, or into whose house they may be thrown. The bag is about two inches long an inch wide, and a quarter of an inch thick. It is made of very heavy twilied muslin or other white cloth, and is tied at the top with ordinary white thread. What gives it it's sinister aspect and,
 it is supposed, a large measure of it's evil influence is the fact that pinned to the top is a section of a rattle snakes tail, usually containing four rattles. The bag is filled with a cOnglomerate mixture of ingredients. more fearful and wonderful than even the famous broth brewed by the witches of Macbeth. However. the witch doctor does not rely upon the snake rattles and the contents of the bag alone.

A EahIe

Once there was Gander who was fond of Cheese In the place where the Gander was there was a large piece of Cheese which belonged to the Gander The only question was whether or not to eat the Cheese
 If I should trust myself to open my mouth and eat this Cheese. said the Gander. T might be making a mistake. How can I be sure that it is wise to eat the Cheese?'
 With these considerations the Gan der was much troubled, and stood looking longingly at the Cheese, until q Fox came up and inquired about the Gander's trouble.
 Trust yourself in a question so in timateiy concerning your welfare and future happiness!" exclaimed the Fox. whn he had heard the Gander's troIb!e, q should say not. What you need is a representative; some body to look after your interests and to make wise decisions in all matters involving the consumption of Cheese. If you will kindly adopt this ring which I will put around your bill. and these iron clamps which I will slip upon your legs, you will be per fectly safe. There will be no danger

Judging by results has gained a con- siderable knowledge of the gentle art of tickling the soil in a way that makes it laugh. Anyhow it makes the ranch owners feel good.
 Desiring to plant 25 acres of the 200 to alfalfa this year, MT. Raugh decided to SOW the same ground sparingly to barley also, using the latter as a nursing crop to protect the young grass from the possible frosts of the early spring He really did not expect to make a crop of barley at all except perhaps a mixed hay crop of barley and alfalfa. so he only sowed six sacks of barley on the whole twenty-five acres. Both crops came up nicely, but the barley seeing it had plenty of room to grow decided to make a record It spread out and up and everywhere and presently the alfalfa was lost to the eye.
 Mir. Raugh discovered that he had barley crop on his hands as well as fine stand of alfalfa and is now engaged in harvesting it. He reports that he got CPS sacks of
 
 patch, or over twenty-five sacks to the acre, with only six sacks of seed grain. MT. King, who was down at Buckeye the early part of the week says that he verify believes there is another twenty sacks to the acre that was lodged so it was missed in the harvesting, but he is more than pleased with what was saved. It was practically that much found
 Other portions of the ranch sown to barley exclusively it is believed will return thirty sacks to the acre. And the alfalfa is coming along finely. It may have been retarded a little by the big barley crop, but anyhow will be ready for cutting in couple of weeks One of the worst troubles with the Buckeye country is that the crops come along so thick the farmers can hardly harvest them fast enough to keep them out of the way of each other.

THIS IS THE RIGHT
 WAY TO CURE CATARRH

Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) is a germ killing vapor or air which when breathed either through the mouth or nose will kill catarrh germs and sooth and heal the inflamed and mutilated membrane.
 Hyomei is such a powerful germ destroyer that it penetrates every fold and crevice of the mucous mem brare of the nose and throat. And it kills the catarrh germs because it gets where they are.
 Hyomei is pleasant to use, it is made from concentrated extract ot pine and eucalyptus taken from trees in Inland Australia, where catarrh was never known.
 Breathe in this pleasant. healing yet germ killing air (you'll like to use Hyomei) through a small hard rubber inhaler that comes with each outfit and relief will come quickly.
 Hyomei is guaranteed by Larson Drug Co to cure catarrh or money back; it gives most wonderful relief to consumptiVes. A complete outfit which includes an inhaler, a bottle of HyOmei and simple instructions for use costs $1.00. and extra bottles if afterward needed costs 30 cents. Lead ing druggists everywhere sell Hyomei.

The Question of Scoring in Bridge
 Whist,

It is the duty of every player to keep the score for both sides,s and to keep it correctly. If he knows that his opponents have three aces in a No trump" game, he is bound to score them thirty points above the line, whether they claim it or not or whether they score it or not. At the end of the rubber. the scores are add ed up. and the winners generally an nounce how much they make it. If one of the opponents names it more or less. he should say at once ''I do not agree" and the scores will then be compared and put right. For a player to accept his opponents score without saying anything, when he himself makes it more, is perilously akin to cheating.
 The question has once more arisen as to whether a player at bridge is bound to correct his opponents score if they do not claim as much as they are entitled to, either for honors or for tricks. It is generally in the No trump" game that the point occurs. Perhaps the dealer and his partner have three acres between them, but they do not claim anything for hon. DTS. or the dealer wins four by cards. but only claims three; are his oppo- nents bound to put him right? There can be only one answer to this ques- tion. Certainly they are bound to do so-in ordinary fairness, if not ac- cording to the strict letter of the law There is no mention of the case in the laws. because it was not considered necessary to state anything so obvious.

What Banks Fear the Most.

What banks fear is not so much a burglar gaining access to their premi- ses by forcing doors but by tunneling and other equally cunning and daring methods. A few years ago a cashier in one Of the national banks of the United States in New Mexico was busy at work one evening in the office when his quick ear detected some curious sounds. They seemed to pro ceed from a subterranean region: and he was not long in concluding that robbers must be tunneling from an adjoining building to the vault in the bank
 Guards were immediately posted in and around the building. Soon they observed the masonry of the bank to be giving way. Meantime the robbers appeared to be hard at work and quite unaware that they were being watched. At in the morning a Mexican volun- teered to descend into the bank cellar so as to discover the actual situation. Scarcely had he gone a few paces down the stairs than he met someone coming up. The Mexican fired with out saying a word and shot the man dead. It was observed that he was one of the masons who had built the bank and therefore was acquainted with it's vulnerable points The re- port of firearms alarmed his accom- plices who fled and escaped. The tun- mel gave evidence of long and patient work on the part of the would be thieves. It was sixty feet in length constructed on scientific principles contained provisions water and a full outfit of mining tools and must have been three months in operation. The robbery appeared to be planned for the time of the month when the bank re- ceived large remittances of currency and coin. From The Romance of Strong Rooms" in the June Strand

HOME WEDDING 0F
 A PHOENIX COUPLE
Marriage Last Night or John M.
 Miller and Miss Minnie A. Wright.

Last evening at the home of the brides parents, Mir. and Mrs. J. Coulter Wright, one of the most charming matrimonial events of the season took place, John M. Miller and Miss Minnie A. Wright being united in marriage by the Rev. Henry NJ. Campbell of the Presbyterian church. At eight o'clock Miss Light burne seated herself at the piano, and to the strains of the bridal chorus from Lohengrin, the happy couple took their places, unattended, and the ceremony was performed in the presence of only a few of their most intimate friends.
 The bride wore a princess gown of soft white silk, daintily trimmed in medalliOns of real lace and carried a shower bouquet of white carnations. The color scheme of the decorations throughout the entire house was white and green, and white roses and carnations, mingled with great masses of delicate ferns. served to make a most beautiful setting for the happy event.
 After the congratulations of their friends at the close of the ceremony, an elaborate wedding supper was served.
 The bride, who has been a resi- dent of Phoenix for several years, is probably one of the best known and most universally popular young la dies in the city. Having held a po- sition in the office of Chalmers x Wilkinson for some time and being actively engaged in church work, she has, by the simplicity of her manner and the unconsciousness charm of her personality, endeared herself to a host of friends, both in the busi- ness and social world.
 MT. Miller came to Phoenix about eight years ago from Dayton, O., where he was formerly assistant principal in the Fairvfew high school. Since that time he has spent three years in the L. s. reclamation ser vice, being stationed at Roosevelt, but resigned his position with the government a little more than a year ago to idetnify himself with the enterprising young business men of Phoenix as a member of the Miller Sterling CO. Mir. and Mrs. Miller will be at home or-the- present at 901 W. Adams, and will take their honey moon trip later in the summer.
