Navajo Shipping Wool.

Flagstaff correspondent of the Ga zette says: Babbitt Brothers shipped two cars of Navajo wool from their warehouse here to Boston, Mass, on Thnrsday. This is wool grown by the Navajo Indians on the Western Navajo reservation near Tuba and purchased of them at the Babbitt stores at Tuba and Red Lake. The Navajo is shrewd trader and when tho price of wool is good he will ship the wool, but when the reverse is the case he will have the women make it up into the Navajo blankets, which always command fan cy price. This locality is famous for its Navajo blankets, and tons of them move annually to the big jobbers of Indian curios, both east and west. Nav aJo blankets are higher in price now than ever before, that is, for the bet. ter grades, while there is little or no demand for the common grades. Grad. ually the Indian is being educated up to the idea that the finer the work the better the price, whereas in former eyars anything in the way of a blanket brought about the same price per pound.

 VALLEY
THREE THOUSAND ACRES TO BE PLANTED AND GIN MILL
 TO BE ERECTED

YUMA, February 25.--Tmperial coun. ty is blazing the way in the culture of cotton in this southwest country. John K. Loftus of Los Angeles, large real estate dealer of that place. and a member of tho Los Angeles Commercial club has been in Yuma for a few days. He IS on his way to the Gulf states to study at first hand the growth of cotton in that part of the United States.
 MT. Loftus says that three thousand acres will be grown in Imperial valley this year, all of which has been signed up. That new $2o,OOO gin mill and compress will be built in time to han. dle this years cotton crop. The vari- cities planted will be both Egyptian cot ton and the standard southern plant. If the cotton crop turns out as well as experiments have demonstrated that it will, the farmers of the Colorado and Imperial valley have fashioned in their hands another key which will unlock the vaulted door of good fortune.
 Mir. Loftus and O. P. Bondessen of the Water Users Association, who had met at the Irrigation Congress at Al berquerque and Sacramento and who were old friends took trip down the valley yesterday. Mir. Loftus is of the opinion that the valley land below Yu- ma Will be ideal cotton land

Cart Before Horse.

Says the Gazette: Assistant Manage.
 Clark of the United Verde says tha;
 in endeavoring to provide for mining
 inspection, the legislators have got tho cart before the horse. It is pointed out
 that Arizona has no mining laws, TO
 requirements, system of operation or
 approved plans for the protection of the
 laborers, and that until such code is
 framed, and enacted, inspection would
 be farce. It is for this, purpose that
 Hampton has introduced his bill ere. ating commission, which has been favorably considered in the committee of the whole in the council. This com. mission shall be composed of five men, two Of them practical miners, two mine owners and operators (the term oper ators meaning to include general man. ager, superintendent or other managing officer), and one member of the supreme court. In framing this bill it is said that Judge Sloan might be favored as the member from the bench. This com. mission shall meet sixty days after their appointment. The sum of $65O is ap as special fund for the payment of compensation. at $l0 per day and other expenses. The commis. sion shall grant hearings for six con seeutiye days. When the hearing is the commission shall draft complete code of laws regulating met. mining, and providing for mining inspection and present the same io the governor for delivery to the next legislative assembly.

MRS. RoosEvELT's PLACE IN HIS.
 TORY
The Nation Win Honor Her az fThe
 Woman in the Background

Mrs. Roosevelt, as "The Woman in
 the Background, is sketched by Mabel
 Potter Daggett in the March Delineator
 and the clever character study brings
 forcibiy to the public mind the fact that
 the woman who has been the "frst
 lady of the land' for seven yeors has
 been from first to last the least con- sp1cuous figure in the president fam. fly.
 Her portrait has been done in oil by Chartran. The frank mouth is smiling. But in the gray eyes is an inscrutable expression of reserve. So future gener. ations will see her, says Mrs. Dagpet This is the picture painted at the order of the French government and present. ed to the American people. Once she sad: "A woman s name should appear in print but twice-when she is mar. ried and when she is buried, ,, Then she stepped within the threshold and closed the door of her house. It hap. pened to be the White House.
 Living side by side with the most man of his time, she has yet quietly withdrawn within the shadow of his luminous personality. The libraries are crowded with volumes that repeat his name-you will search them long for the mercst mention of hers; for. as hls biographers have come and gone, in. variably they have been met with one condition. Even as they sharpened their pencils they have looked up from their notebooks to hear a soft voice say firmly: Gentlemen, only with this understanding you are given access to he data about the president---you must cave me out. " This is the reason the world has heard so little of the real Mrs. Roosevelt And she will step out into history as one of the least known of the | women who have reigned there. In her passing we write her down as the woman | n the background.

Exterminating the Melon Apb,s

Ed Crane, superintendent of the ter, rtorlai experimental farm, at Yuma, says the next experiment will be tests to destroy the melon aphis. This lit tie insect appears under the leaf of the melon vine before the plant is six inch es long. One littl bug has been esti- mated to propagate millions of hungry progenitors in single week. The pest IS serious menace to the melon indus try and has to be fought carefully dur ing the whole season.

Maps ARE PICKED
TO Land PENNANT

Seven American league managers
were interviewed during the week as
to their opinions on the seasons race
1t is sof interest to observe that Ave
Of the seven gave particular mention
to the Cleveland team, while three
of the managers said without any
stammering that they expected to see
Cleveland win the pennant this year.
George Stallings and Connie Mack
both pick the maps as almost sure to
win In the American league race, and
Fred Lake, Of Boston, is almost as out
spoken In behalf Of Larry Lajoie's
brigade.
Naturally Comiskey, McAleer and
Jennings will not endorse this for they
have pennant aspirations themselves,
but they all speak well Of Cleveland.
LaJoie himself firmly expects to win
the coveted flag at last.
1t is interesting to find practically
all of the adisinterested parties"-the
managers who do not expect to win
the pennant, picking the maps for that
honor.
1t to show that there is some
thing more behind the Cleveland team
than the sentiment of the fans. Nine
out of ten of the baseball fans of
America want to see Lajoie win. Again
and again Larry has made a game eff
fort, and just failed ut the finish, los
ing last year by one game.
Now everybody hopes that he will
win his hearts desire.
1t is interesting also to note that
the managers, as well as the fans, base
their hopes for Lajoie on the acuuisi-
ton of Cy Young. With the fans
this is, of course, a matter of senti-
ment, but with the managers it is
baseball instinct. --.a.
Should Cy Young's work prove to be
the determining factor it will make
victory more popular than
ever.
The race is not likely to be a run
away, whoever wins, although as
Stallings says: IF it should be a
runaway, Cleveland will win, for no
other team can win by a runaway"
That is a mighty pitching staff,
with Young, Joss and Rhodes for the
big work. and Liebhardt and Berger
and Andrada to fill up with.
And If Flick and Turner can only
stick, it will add greatly to Cleveland's
strength.
Everybody must concede that the
1aps are 20 per cent stronger individ-
Ially than last year. .
This being true their ultimate win
lings depends upon the extent to which
he other teams have been strengthen |
"a.
Chicago is apt to be stronger in the |
box than last year. And yet Conis- |
1ey Is apt to miss Jones, and his in |
ield will not be better, If as good. |
Detroit cannot show much improve
nent, especially IL Schmidt does not |
LAY.
Cleveland and st. Louis are the two
cams that may be depended on to
how the most additional strength.
.ast year these two teams settled the
ennant race, st. Louis putting Cleve-
and out Of it in the final series.
Should the maps and the browns fight
out this year it would prove a popu-
ar race, for new deal is always in
eresting.

training yesterday at the l. Al. @.

tied with Emil Klank, his training
partner, the mysterious conductor"
and wound up the days work by TAX
ing on Mike Dwyer for half an hour
at Cornish wrestling.
Gotch is ten pounds over weight,
and wants to be we'll under the 200

ropes to meet the Bulgarian. He is
figuring on doing all his hard work
this week and next, and then let down

approaches. He does not hold Nah
mout easy by any means. He believes
he will have, to be in the best possible
shape to retain the title, and will con-
tinue his hard course of training UNI
til he feels as strong and fit as when
ne met Hackenschmidt.
In yesterdays training with the
wrestlers he let his opponents get be-
hind him, for he intends to get plenty
of defensive practice. Klank and the

the champion, and they tried every

M'GRAW LONG
ON FIGHTERS

One Muggsy McGraw is having his
troubles this year. What with Donlin
refusing To report, cy Seymour break
ing into the Bosco stakes and the
usual worries Of the training camp
season, he is having few extra gray
hairs put In his head because OF the
fighting spirit that has gone abroad
in his training camp. Hardly had the
Seymour Latham imbrolio simmered
down than the Cocash- Herzog feud
started. Cocash, be ii said, is a young
ster built on the Billy Keller lines who
can clout ball several city blocks.
He was discovered last year by one of
the New York scouts securing the
minor leagues for talent. Nothing was
said about the kid'a ability to scrap
and no one knew he could until Acting
Manager Herzog, Of the New York
second team kept him on the bench the
greater part of game played i'm one
Of the Texas villages. Cocash became
wrathy; acrimonious argument and
blows followed. Herzog, il is reported,
got the short end of the debate. When
McGraw learned of the ruction, he put
Cocash over In the Seymour ward for
the time being, but says he will not
keep the youngster out of the game
for good. 1t is worthy OF note that the
giants are, and always have been, the
fighting team in the league They
have always had the reputation of hav-
ing more Cruisers" than any other
club. Whether this is due to the fact
that McGraw himself loves a fighter
and has imbued the fighting spirit into
his players to an extent. is open for
debate. Certain it Is that ii does not
work for the uplift Of thee diamond. |
Sooner the rowdies are eliminated, |
sooner the game will become all that |
1t should be.
