SUMMER VACATIONS IN
 SALT RIVER VALLEY
TheJ Are Becoming Mo-, Strenuous For Both Man ard Beast.


 The great criticism concerning the industrial future of the Salt River val ley has always been the deadness of the summer season. due to waI'm weather, when people go away on va cations. Often it has been pointed out that they could go just as well as not for there was little to do at home.
 But all this is rapidly changing. With the development of the sugar beet. cantaloupe, watermelon, fruit and other midsummer industries, a lot of people find it as hard to get away in summer as in winter, and glory be, the time has come when there is an inflow of revenue in the summer time as well as in the winter time, as well as an increase of work for man and beast A nice illustration of this is found in the experience of a bunch of 200 mules owned by R. A. Moncure of San Francisco. who placed them here under the care of Dr. J. c. Norton. Mir Moncure in the winter of 1907S worked his stock on the railroad grades in Mexico. When hot weather arrived and work slackened he ship ped them to Dr. Norton, saving they had served them well and he would let them have a summer vacation in the Salt river valley pastures.
 The mules arrived here in July, 1908, MT Moncure with them. he leaving the next day for his home in California The following day. before the shoes had been pulled off more than quar- ter of them, the Arizona Power com pany, operating on Fossil creek in Yavapai county, came along and of fered to rent them at a good figure for nine months. MT. Moncure was wired, and it looked better for him to have several hundred dollars a month com ing in rather than to have goodly sum going out every month. so he said yes, and the mules went to Yavapai county That is the kind of vaca- tion they got last summer
 The work on Fossil creek was fin ished and the mules were sent back to the valley, again scenting a summer vacation with gambols on the green. But they only had week of it, for on June 1st there came an imperative de- mand for mules to blow up sugar beets and haul them to market, and the Moncure mules, always an indus trious lot, again bade adieu to the green fields.
 This work will keep them busy until about August 1st. Then the mules will be taken to the new lands recently filed on adjacent to the Agua Fria river. few miles north of Peoria. by a number of gentlemen who propose to try those lands for sugar beets. Here they will be engaged in the construc- ton of an irrigataion ditch. or ditches, and the clearing of the land for crop ping. -
 And that is the kind of a summer vacation the mules will have this year

CONSOLIDATED ID MOVE T9 CHANDLER COURT

The Consolidated Telephone com pany is soon to install new equipment and offices in the vacant room west of the suite occupied by the Arizona Land company. A new switch board has already arrived and is now at the depot ware house. New phones will take the place of those now in operation in the various stores and residences. All of the down town lines are to be strung in the alley ways, which will help dispense with many of the wires on Main and Mac donald streets.
 Since the office has been in a room on the second floor, there has been considerable objection, to patrons, particularly of the long distance phones, and the move to the ground floor is pade partially because of this ai.d Il feeling that all concerned will be better served

PARROTS AND CANARIES
PERISH IN STORE BLAZE
Former Creatures Gave the Alarm but
Not in Time to Prevent Their
Death in the Flames

Screams emanating from the
throats of six parrots confined in sep
arate cages in the rear of the Ark
Mercantile company at 231 West First
street attracted the attention OF
several passersby at o'clock yester-
day morning. When they peered
through the glass doors they discov-
cred that the store was on fire and
the place filled with dense smoke.
An alarm was turned in, but the
flames had gained great headway, and
before the arrival of the fire depart
ment the parrots, fifty canary birds
and sixty small birds of various kinds
were either burned to death or suf-
focated. Two puppies that We're Gagged
in one of the show windows escaped
injury
The blaze, which originated in the
rear of the building, presumably was
caused by rats or mice gnawing into
a case of matches The stock, which
L. e.. Berkey, manager of the COM
pany, says is valued at $4,000, con-
sists of crockery. light hardware,
glassware and articles of all kinds.
The company also sells birds, dogs
and other animals.
The fire department estimates the
loss on the contents at less than
s5000 while the proprietors of the
store state the damage is more. The
stock is insured for $500.

TERRORIZES SIXTY
PASSENGERS ON CAR
MAN WITH REVOLVER MAKES
BIG BLUFF
ShoVes Pistol Into Chest of Conductor
but PatroIman Shy Enters Coach,
Disarms Tough and Ar
rests Desperate

After terrorizing sixty passengers Ia
a Hooper street car and holding the
motorman and conductor at bay with o
drawn revolver late Sunday night, s. r..
Radcliffe finally was overpowered by
Patrolman Shy and taken into custody
The accused was arraigned before
Police Julge Williams yesterday morn
ing on charge of rudely displaying
deadly weapon, and his trial was set
for Wednesday. He was unable to fur
nish $l00 bail and was locked up in jail.
According to the story of Conductor
j. w. Crisman, who swore to the com
plaint against Radcliffe, the latter
boarded the car downtown and shortly
afterWard began to eXpectorate on the
floor The conductor demonstrated with
him, and this so angered Radcliffe that
he again spat on the floor near the con-
ductor's feet and then began to curse
the latter.
Crisman then stopped the car to al
low woman passenger to alight, and
just as he was about to give the motor
man a signal to go ahead Radcliffe
drew a revolver and commanded the
conductor to let the bellcord alone.
Orders Conductor to Be Silent
The conductor started the car, and
then Radcliffe ordered him to not touch
the bRi aCOFu any more Out TO run the
car out to the end of the line, where
they would fight. TO emphasize his re-
marks the unruly passenger fiourished
the gun a couple of times and then
stuck it against the breast of the cou-
ductor.
The motorman finally noticed the dis
turbance when the passengers began to
crowd to the front of the car. He
stopped the car, and with the controller
in his hand went back to assist the
conductor.
Radcliffe then covered the motorman
and ordered him to stay away. BY
this time several cars had come up
and were stopped. This attracted tho
attention of Patrolman Shy and he en-
tered the car, and after a struggle dis
armed Radcliffe, handcuffed him and
took him to the central police station.
Radcliffe, it is said, frequentle has
caused trouble for the freight cars on
the Pacific lines by standing on tha
track and forcing the motormen to
come to a stop to avoid running over
lim.
He will be examined by the police
surgeons, and if it is found he is men-
ally unbalanced the charges against
him will be dismissed and he will be
lrraigned before the insanity commis-
sion.

GAME WARDEN MORGAN
Report of Hunt in Antelope Valley
Shows II Coyotes, 15o Rabbits

Week

w. B. Morgan, county game warden
returned to Los Angeles yesterday
after five days stay in the hunting
camp in the foothills at the northern
end of Antelope valley, where his
family has been living nearly month.
In the party also are Henry Delapp
and F. L. Johnson and wife.
Warden Morgan, who came back in
response to a summons for the state
forester to fight fire near "Old Baldy,'
reported a kill of eleven coyotes, $50
rabbits and five wildcats during his
less than a weeks hunt, the latter
animals being shot in the same spot
where. two years ago, former Super
visor Patterson and James j. Jeffries
killed six cats.
Owing to the experience of f. L..
Johnson, Mr.. Morgan says he believes
it extremely doubtful if that member
of the party will pursue his intention
to go further into the mountains after
bear Johnson, he says, was standing
about forty feet away when the first
cat was shot and slightly wounded.
The animal darted through the brush
and on the trail, and while it appeared
not to see Johnson, the latter's eye-
sight was unimpaired, while his legs
acquired springs that carried his
bulky form over every obstacle in
