MAY BOLEY, WRITER
 AS WELL AS ACTRESS
She is Proving a Great Attraction at the Airdome.

Manager Echlin. who is featuring May Boley, one of Americans leading comediennes. is smashing all previous records for attendance at the Airdome.
 The highest quality of anything is always apparent at a glance. but is indescribable. This is true of a vaude- vile. act. and also true of May Boley The best way to give May Boley the comment that Is due her is to see her. to hear her wonderful voice and wit ness her depletion of the humorous side of life. Miss BoIey Is an artist and not every one on the vaudeville stage is an artist.
 May Boley is also writer of merit. and has no trouble in placing any ot her productions on the market, es- pecially those that treat of the oddi ties in her human brothers and sisters She will most frequently be found watching some peculiar character, in a depot. hotel or while eating. Her latest production which she does not wish to mention as to the title will be placed about the first of the coming year.

MANDATE RECEIVED
 IN THE STORM CASE
The End of the Struggle of Yavapai's Former Treasurer For His Liberty.

The mandate of the United States circuit of appeals, affirming the su- preme court of this territory Tn the case of J. P. Storm, former treasurer of Yavapai county was yesterday receiv- ed at the office of the clerk of the su preme court The mandate had came through Hon. Robert Morrison, the chief attorney for the prosecution and had been forwarded by him to Clerk Tritle. The remittitur was at once sent down by Mir Tritle and thus presumably the long struggle of Storm for his liberty has been brought to an end.
 Storm was tried four times for the embezzlement of the funds of the county. on separate indictments. Twice he was acquitted: once a jury dis agreed and finally conviction was obtained and he was sentenced to four years in the territorial prison.
 The judgment of the lower court was affirmed by the supreme court and then the matter was taken to the circuit court of appeals. the first time that had ever been tone in a criminal case arising in this territory.
 It will be recalled that storm one morning was found locked in the vault of the treasury. bound with wire. The treasury had been footed. Almost from the first, it was suspect ed that Storm had robbed himself. A subsequent examination of his books showed his shortage to be something over s13,OO0 than the amount that could have been in the vault at the time of the alleged robbery.
 Several indictments were found against him, charging him, not with the embezzlement of the entire amount of the shortage, but of various speci- fled sums.

VARIETY ISLE BY SPECIAL REQUEST
The Grand Minstrel Show Closed Last
 Night Before Pleased Audience.

Tonight the Teal Musical Comedy company will appear in the second stand of Variety Isle" by special re- quest. This is the banner production of Billy Friedlander's and is consid cred by those who have seen it again and again as the best cos tuned. with the most flashing music and catching score. of anything placed here this season. Billy Fried lander promises new song hits alto gether new chorus work and new specialties. Friedlander alone as the King of Variety Isle is worth many times the admission. and Cash Knight. who has by many been con- sidered better than Billy in the com edy work will play opposite him.
 Last night the minstrels made an other hit, and the dance afterwards drew a larger house than is usually the case on Monday night.

R. O. GREENE SELLS
 ; HIS IDEAL RANCH
One Man Who Constantly Testifies to the Virtues of the Salt River Valley and the Arizona Republican.

R. O. Greene. one of the most in dustrious and wide awake ranchers of the valle. has sold his ranch. which is considered one of the best in the community, to Charles Green for s4O.0OO R. O. Greene intending to re- tire from an active life and enjoy the riches and pleasures that he has earned by hard work since 1894. when he first took up his land. lying about ten miles from Phoenix.
 Mir. Greene came to the valley in 1894 with family of eight girls. four of them since marrying four of the most promising men of the vicinity. four men who have each done well. He has proven that by making a small investment and appyling noth- ing more or less than good. sound. practical husbandry. the Salt River valley land cannot be equaled any where in the west for productiveness or as an investment His four sons inlaw have proven the same fact. Mir. Greene is a staunch believer in this country. and on every occasion possible champions Salt River valley.
 The ranch which he sold to Charles Green has every modern convenience. is in good condition and for beauty cannot be excelled. The s5O0O home is up to the minute in all of it's ap- pointments
 Although Mir. Greene leaves the ranch for retirement at this time he has really been retired for the last three years, having rented his ranch to the present buyer
 In talking with MT. Greene last evening he stated that for the next three months he and the wife will spend the time in Southern Cali fornia most of it at Long Beach. visiting friends. And don't you for get to send me The Republican either. I have taken it ever since l arrived in this valley and now I can not get along without it any more than l can go without my breakfast"

THE AUGUST EARTH
 IS ON THE PRESS
All Who Desire Copies Are Requested to Leave Their Orders With w. s. Goldsworthy.

The August issue of The Earth. which is to be devoted exclusively to the Salt River valley. is now on the press, and news comes from Chicago that it is to be by far the finest edition ever published. It will contain forty eight pages, all handsomely illustrated. As will be remembered, the editor, Mrs. Marjorie Russell, spent some time here in the spring and personally so- liCited contributions to it's columns from local writers, so that aside from the editorials and the special articles prepared by engineers and others re- specting their own work, on which they can certainly speak with authority the matter is practically all supplied by engineers and others respecting their own work, on which they can certainly speak with authority, the matter is practically all supplied by home people. With its contents there fore surely no fault can be found; at least no fault with the publishers. who have tried to make the edition as near a perfect encyclopedia of facts re- specting this valley as possible The former special edition for this valley MdS no uOuDl lilt DtSl ioohN VI h BN riodical ever published to that time In the interest of the valley. and this one will surely be incompaIably better. and Mrs. Russell is entitled to much praise and credit for her work.
 w S Goldsworthy. general agent of the Santa Fe. is representing the pub fishers in placing all the extra copies that are wanted for advertising or other purposes. and all who want them are urged to see him al once and leave their orders that the edition may be made large enough to supply the de mand.

Happening That Decided Him on Seek.

For years Mr.. Clerltlie had eaten his
frugal but nourishing luncheon In lit
tie restaurant half block north from
his office. He was an easily satisfied
person, and what he ordered seemed
always to suit him to perfection. The
Mattresses ne yer knew him to COLL
plain.
But one day things went wrong. The
butter was rancid, and the bread SO
moist that Mr.. Clerklie, who had de-
cided ideas about hygiene, would not
eat it. He did his best, and left the
table early.
The next day the same thing oc-
Cured, and the day after there was no
Improvement He called the waitress
to him.
May see the proprietor, please?"
he inquired.
The girl disappeared for a minute
and returned with the news that the
proprietor was out.
The following day as well as the
one after there was no Improvement
in the food, and no sign of the pro-
prietor. Mr. Clarklie nearly made up
his mind to seek another restaurant.
He decided, however, to give them q
chance, and on Saturday at luncheon
again asked for the owner of the
place.
Hes gone out" was the reply.
Mr.. Clerklie became bold.
This is ridiculous" he exclaimed.

Muichlnn Potatoes.

Seven years experience at the Ne
braska experiment station indicates
that mulching is fairly satisfactory
way of growing potatoes on small
scale. although the method is praa
ticable only when the mulching mate
rial can be obtained very cheaply. Old
hay or straw should be spread about
four inches deep Just before the plants
appear and after the ground has been
narrowed once or twice after plant
ing. Rather large seed pieces should
be planted two or three incSes deep
and the hills should be placed 1Sx1s
or 12x24 inches.
