Plans and specifications for immense shops to be located southeast of the city on land purchased by the s.

This information was brought from Tucson by PhOenician who has been in Tucson for several days and returned this morning. The s. P. employees in Tucson know that before another year has passed the Randolph offices will be located here instead of in the Old Pueblo. The matter is not secret there.

 Graham Guardian: Work began on the extension of the Graham canal last week. This extension brings under cultivation from 1 300 to 2,000 acres of new land adapted to grain, hay and fruit culture. It lies between Hubbard, Bryce, Eden and the Hot Springs and will make big improvement in that part of the valley.
 Yuma Sentel: P. D. Sargent this week sold twenty acres of his Yuma valley ranch to Frederick T. Holt for $125 an acre, through the agency of Kerr x Monroe. MT. Holt is New York man, a civil engineer who was a member of the corps which made the survey for the Southern Pacific through this section. The change in this local ity was pleasing surprise to him.
 Graham Guardian: Arthur Wool sey met a painful accident Sunday evening at his ranch in Lebanon. MT. Woolsey had roped a bull in the pasture and was trying to get him out of the field. The bull pulled back on the rope, which caught around the first and second fingers of MT. Woolsey's right hand, and before he could loosen the rope, it had torn off one finger at the first joint and the flesh from the bone on the second finger.
 George Crosby's paper: What great investment good roads are! Every farmer between Stafford and Solomonville feels that he is paid for what he put out toward gravel ing the county road between the two places. Where 45 and 50 bales of hay used to make a load, the alfalfa rancher now hauls from 70 to 100 bales with the same team and in the same time. The result is wonderful saving each year. More money spent on good roads. More economy in other expenses and less expenditure for roads and bridges.
 Phoenix Republican: The ban quet which Chairman J. c. Adams of the territorial fair commission will give to the subscribers to the Arizona Copper stake, which at- tracted the best horses in the coun- try to Phoenix during the terri torial fair, will take place at the Hotel Adams next Monday night. Governor Sloan will act as toast master. There were about 125 subscribers to the Copper stake and invitations have been sent to all of them.

It is equally necessary for the ruling rich and the oppressed poor to change their understanding of life; and it is easier for the poor than for the rich. Without alter ing their position the poor need only abstain from deeds contrary to love and not partici- pate in such deeds, and all this organization opposed to love would collapse of itself It is much more difficult for the rulers to ac- cept and fulfill the teaching of love. To full fill that teaching they would have to reject the snares that entnrall them; the snares of power and riches and this is harder. The poor have only to refrain from engaging in

The dogs Of Constantinople are
held in an almost superstitious re-
gard by the more fanatical natives,
and every suggestion for their ex-
termination sets the bazaars in a
ferment. In the reign of Murad
H., the destroyer of the janizaries,
an Englishman, probably intoxicat-
ed, was bitten by one of these
usually gentle creatures, and the
ambassador represented the matter
SO strongly that the sultan signed
an order for the Punishment of
some thousands to the Princes is
lands, or to such of them as were
uninhabited. Boatload after boat
load was dispatched, some founder
ing in deep water, others going
ashore on the Asiatic side. The
few which reached the islands made
such terrific noise as soon as they
felt the pangs of hunger that the
natives of Stamboul clamored for
their deliverance, and as the sultan
could not afford to override the
wish of the people the dogs were
brought back amid general rejoic-
ings.-Pall Mall Gazette.

What He Used.

He is an urchin of possibly six,
with red hair and impish face.
In the New Jersey suburb where he
lives his name is a synonym for
general deviltry, despite parental
efforts. A few days ago an irate
matron sent note saying that her
daughter had been shocked by the
urchin's bad language.
Tearfully and somewhat helpless
ly flushed young mother COM
forted a placid small boy. "What
shall ! do with you, SON." she
asked. "What bad language can
you have used that Mrs. Blank
should forbid you to play with Mel
lie ?"

ply. 'Only the ordinary swear
