RED LETTER DAY JUNE 4
The Ceremony of Opening the North Side Gates at Granite Reef, a Year Ago
 Was Lacking in This Case.

June 4th, yesterday. will go down in the history of the Salt River val ley as the day on which the govern ment formally took charge of the South side canals and raised the gates at Granite Reef which marked another milestone in the successful continuation of the completion of the reclamation project in the Salt River valley.
 Engineer Howard Reed, Water Commissioner Frank P. Trott and Weather Observerer L. N. Jesunof- sky, came over from Phoenix yester- day morning and after a consultation with Dr. A. J. Chandler proceeded on to Granite Reef where they, without ceremony, performed the history making event of opening the gates for the first time.
 The same operation, that of open ing the gates on the north side about a year ago was celebrated with con- siderable ceremony and it was thought for a while that the south side would make a like demOnstra- ton, but since the entire south side took part in the function at the reef a year ago it was decided not to celebrate the occasion.
 It will take few days before the water will be regulated properly on account of the new canal, but it will be but a short time until the entire south side will be getting it's water supply directly from Granite Reef.

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube Is in- imperfect hearing. and when 1t Is en- tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by ca tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

rho Japanese Game Of shoai.

A letter from Japan published In
German paper says: when one sees
how popular the game Of shogi is here
it is easy to understand the superiority
Of the japanese as strategic officers.
The game is played on board and is
In some respects like chess. but 1t has
so many peculiarities that 1t is a thing
in itself. Each player has twenty
pieces. The direction in which they
move is indicated by arrows on the
top or smaller end Of the pieces. A
captured piece is not laid aside, but
becomes the property of the captor
and is impressed into his service. This
is characteristic of the people. who
know so we'll how to utilize the works
and ideas of others. Another feature
Of the game is that when piece sue
ceeds in crossing into the enemy's ter
ritory it's value becomes increased. and
its identity as to superiority is estab-
lished by reversing it, turning it on its
head. Despite the complicated situa-
tions the rudiments Of the game are
easily acquired, and hence its popular
ity."

Melbourne In 1885.

One of Australias colonists, a veter-
an of ninety years, has just published
his "reminiscences. While walking up
George street, Sydney, in 1885, he
heard a bellman announcing the first
sale of allotments in the new town
ship of Melbourne. He went inside.
The auctioneer proclaimed the merits
Of this new township and predicted
that it would be a grand city some
day. Eyes, a city of kangaroos," =" inter
jected a scoffing spectator. Hardly
bid could be elected. A few years later
the gold discoveries did rapidly con-
vert the township of Melbourne into
great city. and the lucky people who
had bought allotments for 500 or $50
found their value increased to $780,
600, S15OO00 and in some cases even
$250,OOO.

sight than their hats ignored the
warnings of history, says an English
writer. No matinee hat of today is so
high as the lofty headdresses worn by
Marie Antoinette, which were the de-
spair of poor simple minded Louis
XVI. But when deprived of all possi-
bility of being able to see perform
ance at the opera he presented his
wife with an algret of diamonds in the
hope that it might supplant a head
dress forty-hve inches in height the
queen promptly had the diamonds In
eorporated in a new headdress which
was taller than all it's predecessors.

Camel meat is to be the fashionable
delicacy in Paris this season, as a re-
suit apparently of the opening up of
Morocco. A large wholesale butcher
in Paris has signed contracts for the
supply of large consignment or

like prime beef, only tastier. Camel
foal Is much more fGncied by gour-

THE MAZE OF MINos.
New Discoveries In Crete and ths
Mnotaur Myth.

New Discoveries In Crete and ths
Minotaur Myth.
Every one acquainted with Greek
mythology remembers how Tbeseus,
the benefactor of prehistoric Greece,
went over into Crete and with the aid of
Ariadne and q ball of twine threaded
his way into labyrinth built for King
Minos and killed the minotaur, a por-
ton of whose food consisted of Athe-
nian maidens The spectacle is now
presented of the Cretans insisting upon
being taken under the folds of the
blue and white ensign of Greece, the
country from which once the monarch
OF central Crete extorted as indemnity
the choicest specimens of human flesh
that Athens could produce for the re-
plenishment of the larder of the fierce
man-bull
Minos, according to Greek mythol-
ogy, was the son of Zeus and Europa.
The wife of Minos was Pasiphae,
Ariadne being their daughter. Pasi-
man-bull This fabled monster was
imprisoned in a labyrinth designed for
Minos and built by Daedalus, a fabled
sculptor. The minotaur lived upon hui
man food. Mdnos, having conquered
the Athenians. demanded yearly trib-
ute of seven youths and seven maid
ems to be served up to the minotaur.
Thesus. an Athenian, ranking next to
Hercules among the Greek heroes, on
one occasion was sent to Crete with
the tribute. Ariadne fell in love with
the youthful Thesus and assisted him
by means of a ball Of twine to enter
the labyrinth safely. He slew the mi
notaur and was enabled to escape
again. This relieved the Athenians Of
the future payment Of human tribute.
1t used to be thought that this story
and many Of the others recounted in
the Homeric period as we'll as Minos
himself were myths. Recently archae-
illogical discoveries in Crete, however
have served more than to suggest that
the stories have a historical founda-
ton. Not only the capital of Minos
but his palace, his throne and now a
labyrinth which may well have been
devised by real Daedalus have been
discovered in the ruins of Knossos, in
the center of the island. Many cary
ings indicate that bulls figured in the
rites of the inhabitants Of that old
world palace and men and women are
shown taking part in the sports, which
possibly were connected with the wor-
ship of some cruel deity to whom hu-
man sacrifice was offered in this form.
Perhaps this is the origin Of the story
of the feeding of the minotaur with
human dainties.-New York Tribune.
