FARM NOTES

The only annoying thing about
farm notes." OF all kinds, is that
they will come due. Shall have to
abbrevlate this week.
Winter wheat, oats and young alfal-
ia needing rain-dry weather at this
stage Of growth prevents stooling.
Our lakes being dry at this season Is
Il great handicap for 1909, but a kind
providence has cared for us so far and
will probably do SO-at least until we
can "hll up" We all hope that this
year will see this trouble removed
and farmers and water company will
both rejoice hereafter in full ditch
and the full dinner pail" will follow.
Fine prospect tor perfect stand of
bcets, almOst-best for years at least.
CantalOupes coming up-month ear
lier than 'OS. First crop of alfalfa
probably light, unless cut late: frost
delays us month in this.
Is our season early or late? Can't
answer; early In some things and late
in Others. Years ago, the writer cut
first crop OF alfalfa last of May and
first week OF June, but for last tive
years we begin nearer first OF July.
Gardens way ahead OF 'OS: beans up.
better watch them for week, though;
Strawberries in blossom, with fine
prospect; rather too many cherries on
the trees and full crop of apples;
plenty OF plums and prunes. Don't
spray the latter but don't forget the
applcs-think they will be ready in
ten days-but don't spray until all the
blossoms have fallen. Arsenate OF
lead prepared expressly for spraying is
best, but Paris green or London pur-
pie will do II directions are followed.
Writer will give you recipes and d.
rections sent out by the State Horti-
cultural Society IL you will call on
| him.
Merchants tell me business is fifty
per cent better than last year, collect
ions fair and better feeling prevails
in all classes. Even the rOusters crow
more Justify and biddy. seems more
cheerful. Whether she believes in
the future or appreciates the better
care, is question, but George, the
merchant, tells me that the egg pro-
duct of Ordway is double that of last
year. due, not so much to increased
number OF hens as to better breeds
and better care.
Ordway will surely get in line after
while. Thanks to our "city dads" for
better strects-better roads are COM
ing. Believe in the future, it's half
the battle and brings us lots more
happiness.

hearing the remark, said: "You are
all right, old man. like the Irish,

DO YOU WANT AN IRRIGATED
FARM? If so. LISTEN.

We have personally inspected the
irrigation and reservoir system OF the
Maxwell Irrigated Land Company, at
Maxwell City. New Mexico, and we
find IL to be very complete and the
lands under said system to be of the
very best, being Of Il deep, red sandy
loan, aud of very productive nature,
laying level, smooth in fact, rs per
feet for irrigation purposes rs mother
could make them, aud thickly set
with buffalo and gramma grass.
These lands can now be purchased
at $50 90 per acre with paid up per-
pctual water right, terms one-third
cash, balance on years time at 6 per
cent per annum.
We also visited the coal camps at
Dawson, which are located some 10
miles to the west of said lands, and
there found a very fine quality OF coal
which is being sold to the consumer
at $500 per ton, this with the MANY
other advantages surrounding this
tract, such as extensive grazing lands
and hundreds OF fat cattle, being also
traversed by three railroads, offers
the greatest inducements for the in
vestor as well as the man looking for
IA home.
We consider this to be one OF the
greatest chances to procure home at
reasonable cost, considering the
great advantages at hand.

LAND TRANSACTION
 0N CORRESPONDENCE
A Government EmpIoye Buys a Su- burban Tempe Home.

Through the agency of R. A Windes ten acres of the B. H. Scudder ranch has been sold to Norment Windes. The deal has been pending for some months but as MT. Windes is located at Panama, with the Isthmian canal service. it was rather a slow process as it takes about month to exchange letters and a deal of that kind natur- ally necessitates considerable corre- spondence. It was finally closed up, however. to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. The selling price was at the rate of s167.50 per acre.
 Mir. Windes. though he has an excel lent position with the service, does not contemplate following that line of work al his life and in purchasing home in Tempe, is looking into the fu- ture when he retires from the service of the government and enjoy private life. Further than that. he has learned by experience that it is better to put money into Tempe real estate than it is to store it away in d bank; it is just as safe and will grow lots faster

SOUTH SIDE GAS COMPANY Promises GdSin Less Than a
 Year SEVENTEEN MILES OF PIPE Will Be Ordered at Once and Will Be Here by Sept. 1st, Plant Expected to Be in Full Operation by April of Next Year.
SEVENTEEN MILES OF PIPE

That within less than a year from this date, Tempe and Mesa residents will be able to use gas for lighting and heating purposes. seems to be an as sured fact from all present indications.
 The South Side Gas company held a meeting at the office of the president, B. B. Moeur. Thursday afternoon and started the ball to rolling Thc fran chise it will be remembered was grant ed the company some time ago, and the company is now in a position to fulfir its part of the contract and pro poses to do so just as soon a-s possible.
 At Thursdays meeting several mat ters developed that will greatly hurry the completion of the plant It has been found that the plant in itself can be constructed at a figure much small CT than was originally estimated. It was at first thought it would cost in the neighborhood of $6O.000 but it is now believed it can be built for about s450OO The pipe too. it is found can be produced at a much lower figure than the original estimate, about third less These two things mean good deal and have had the effect of starting things nicely.
 That the company means business is evident from the fact that H. l.. Chandler and O. s. Stapley were ap- pointed by the board of directors as a committee to make the purchase of pipe. It was figured out that about r. miles of pipe will be required in diff ferent lengths. including mains and dered at once and will probably arrive in Tempe not later than September first. As soon as it arrives. the sys- tenn of pipe will be installed. This may be done before the plant is actually under way though it is not planned to delay its construction any great length of time. If the plans of the di- rectors do not miscarry. the plant will be completed and in operation by April or May of next year. ready to supply gas when it is most needed, during the summer months. That it's use will be appreciated is certain for it makes an ideal fuel this kind of weather.
 The location of the plant has not yet been fully decided upon though several sites are under consideration. More than likely some place between here and Mesa City will finally be SC lected near the railroad where oil can be easily handled.

WHAT TRANSFERRED IN
 JUDGE CARTS COURT O'LEARY GOT "lEARY" AND LEFT
 TOWN.
He Feared Counter Complaint Which
 Was Filed Against Him.

There were several developments yesterday morning in the case of the stranger who arrived in Tempe the day before and in the course of mak- ing the acquaintance of Tempe people, suffered an injured scalp. Yesterday morning. he sufficiently recovered to be released from jail. He gave his name as John OLeary and there being no charge against him he was dismiss ed from the custody of the court
 Mir OLeary had given his case con siderable thought the night before while in jail and immediately upon his release swore out a warrant against John Togel. charging him with assault and battery. The warrant was served and Mir. Togel pleaded guilty as charg- ed and paid a nominal fine. He then told his side of the story and procured a warrant against OLeary in which is set forth the facts that OLeary's con- duct in the saloon was such that dras- tic measures were required to subdue him. His language was profane, he was uuarrelsome and was bent upon the destruction of the entire establish ment when Mir. Togel was forced to resort to violence. According to MT Togel. OLeary had been repeatedly warned to make less noise and in or der to maintain an orderly house. MT TogeI claims it was absolutely neces- sarS for him to handle OLeary as he did.
 O'Leary evidently became "leary' of a counter charge for as soon as he filed the complaint against Mir. Togel. he dropped out of sight and at this writing has not yet put in an appear ance.
 Antonio Sotello. who was charged with disturbing the peace of the resi- dents of Sotello addition and who had entered a plea of not guilty. changed it to guilty and was sentenced to serve fifteen days in the county iail He was taken to Phoenix last evening.
