Tea. Authentic History.

It is known that tea was used as a beverage in China in the sixth cen tury, and that 1t was carried to Japan and its cultivation established there late in the thirteenth cenury. That many centuries elapsed ere western nations learned of tea is certain. Even the date of the first introduction among western nations is in dispute. one authority giving it as 1891, an other as early in the seventeenth cen tury; but as they agree that it was brought to Europe by the Dutch East India company. and as that was only founded in 1892, it is probable that the latter date is correct.
 The tea flower is small, single, white and has no smell; the seeds are three small nuts, like filberts. and have an oily and bitter taste. The leaves only are used; only the young leaves are gathered. and the younger and ten derer they are. the better. They are collected when the plant is three yaers old. the process being continued year after year until the bush becomes weak and diseased, when it is pulled up to give place to a new shoot.-NatiOnal Food Magazine.

got record of him from the peniten- tiary and about that time word was received from the California authori- ties saying that Rawson had sworn out warrant charging Porter with embezzlement
 The sheriffs office here made in- quiries in every direction and at length learned that he had been in the Globe country. A few days ago it was found that he was working for John Chilson in Sunflower valley. Just as Deputy Davis was about to set out for Sun flower word came that Chilson was on his way to Phoenix with a lot of cattle and that Porter was with the outfit Deputy Davis left Wednesday morning for McDowell, where he found Porter that night
 Porter yesterday admitted the of fense charged but he offers in extenu- ation that he had a right to sell the stock He said that he and Rawson had had a dispute about a crop and that this was the only way he could get even with the wealthy proprietor of the Crown Valley ranch.
 He will be held here awaiting the action of the California authorities.

AFTER A LONG RUN
 AN EMBEZzLER CAUGHT
HARRY PORTER A THREE TIMES
 CONVICT.
This Time He Is Wanted for an Em-
 bezziement in California.

Deputy Sheriff Wayne Davis re- turned yesterday morning from Me Dowell with Harry Porter a former convict with a long and variegated prison record, who is wanted again in California on a charge of embezzle- ment. The last service of Porter was in the penitentiary at Yuma, where he had done time for an embezzlement in Pima county. He had previously serv- ed two terms from Coconino county for grand larceny.
 After his release iron, Yuma he next came to the surface at the Crown Val ley ranch at Hemet in Riverside coun- ty, California. He took employment with the proprietor, Tommy Rawson. giving the name of Frank Cline. Por- ter is a good cowboy and furnished Rawson excellent recommendations of his eXpertness and trustworthiness. He proved himself expert and finally gained the confidence of Rawson.
 When that had been accomplished he told RawsOn that he owned a lot of horses at Campo Verde this terri tory. and that he wanted to bring them to California. He also said that horses in Arizona, especially about Camp Verde, were very cheap, and it was finally arranged that he should go there after his stock, buy up as many horses as he could at low figure and

when everything was ready, Rawson was to come by rail and assist in talk ing the horses to Hemet overland. '. This was nearly three months ago Porter set out with two good saddle horses, two pack mules and a well. equipped outfit and was accompanied by boy from the ranch by the name of J. w. Pott.
 They travelled across the desert until they came to a station near Goffs, the other side of Needles There Porter sold the horses and mules. telling the boy that the distance was so great that they would come to Phoenix by rail and buy horses here for the rest of the trip. They arrived here with the saddles and stopped at Pike's cor ral.
 Before arriving in Phoenix Porter told the boy that he would meet peo- pie. in Phoenix who would call him Harry, which, SC said, was his Arizona name, and he instructed the boy not to call him Frank Cline while they were in this part of the country. The boy did not remember the last part of his companions Arizona name
  sheriff's office some trouble.
 One day the boy overheard a con versation between Porter and a stran- ger, from which he gathered that they had known each other at Yuma. The boy thought more about the converse ton later than he did at the time. They fingered about the corral for week Instead of buying horses for the trip to Campo Verde, Porter sold the saddles. One day he told the boy that he would be gone for an hour. and POtt saw no more of him.
 The boy stayed at the corral until he ran out of money and then instead of telling anybody what had happened he wrote to Rawson, who came on and took the boy home. He had stated the case to the sheriffs office here and ever since a lookout has been kept for Porter. It was difficult for long time to get any identification of him, but after a while the sheriffs office

Foss alleges two reasons for deciin- ing my Iroposition. First, he says that with the ownership of fifty per cent of the stock of the Home Co. the Consolidated Co. might buy one share and thus control the Home Co. In answer to this you may agree that the citizens of Phoenix may, if they wish. take sixty per cent of the stock of the new company and let the Consolidated Co. only own forty per cent. If they still fear the Con- solidated Co. might procure control. you may agree that the Consolidated Co. will obligate itself not to buy, directly CT indirectly, a single share of the stock of the new company oth- CT than its original subscription, on penalty of forfeitins its entire hold ings in the event it violates the agreement. Or you may agree that the directors of the new company may be elected for period of seven years. instead of one, and that the Phoenix citizens may control the board for the first period.
 The second objection alleged by Dr. Foss is that some portion of the existing plant may be unsuitable foy the purposes of the new plant You may agree that the board of arbitra- tion, which is to be created in &C., cordance with my letter of the goth. shall be instructed to reject any portion of the present plant that it may see fit to reject
 Please submit this proposition to the board of directors of the Home Telephone O., and also give it to the press. What I particularly wish the citizens of Phoenix to know is that, in case there shall be two telephone systems in Phoenix, the fault for this unfortunate condition can in no way be charged to the Consolidated company.
 pr. FOss states that l have threat ened to fight. This construction can hardly be put upon my letters. If an attempt be made to confiscate our property, there will naturally, be a fight; but the threat does not come

.C0GHIsE MINING CASE
 COMES UP ON APPEAL
From an Order canceIlins a Hal Million of Stock.

The case of Ernest E. Hughes, William M. Hennessy, Albert F. Zeh, James E. Kinsey Mary Kinsey, Dan iel Hennessy and John Fitzgerald. appellants, against the Cadena de Cobra Mining company, appellee, from Pima county was filed in the office of the clerk of the supreme court yesterday.
 The case had its origin in Cochise county where the offices of the company are, but it was taken to the first judicial district on a change of venue. Suit had been brought by the mining company against the appel lants who were the organizers and former officers and directors, but who had resigned. The properties of the company lie in the Sahuaripa mining district of Sonora
 The property was bought from the original owner, who was let in for an interest in the company which was capitalized at s1.0O0.OO9 the par value of the shares being $1. It was all legged in the complaint that the de- fendants had caused to be issued to themselves, secretly and without con- sideration. 550,0e0 shares. The plaintiff company asked that the court order the cancellation of these shares. .EE4
 Judge Campbell held in his judg- ment in favor of the company that by the issuing of those shares to themselves they had detracted from the assets of the company and he ordered that the stock should be cancelled and that the certificates should be returned to the company and wiped off of it's books.
 From this order the appeal has been taken

 FoSS'S LETTER The Consolidated Will obligate Itself Not to Control Telephone
 Busihess.

The following letter has been re- ceived from Col. Randolph of the Consolidated Telephone and Tele- graph company in relation to the reply of Dr. Foss of the Independent company declining a proposition for consolidation:
 May 26, 1909. L. H. Chalmers, Esq,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 My Dear Chalmers:| am in re- ceipt of your letter of the 18th, en- closing reply of pr. Foss. President of the Home Telephone O., to my let ter of the goth, which reply has been carefully read. In answer I will say: My letter of the goth, which I re- quested you to publish does not charge Dr. Foss and his fellow mem- bers of the committee with bad faith. My letter simply gives a cor rect history of what transpired at our meeting with the committee. If this history shows bad faith, it is the facts and not I that make the charges. However, this is not a mat ter in which either the citizens of Phoenix or we are interested, and no time need be lost in alluding % it. Two telephone systems will not be beneficial, but will be harmful Dr.
