TWO BILLION DOLLARS WORTH
 OF BABIES

New York's annual baby crop, to- taling now about 100000 infants, is according to the latest figures worth
 a little more than $2,OOO000, ,O00 thus
 putting it far ahead of the country's corn crop, heretofore looked upon as
 the most valuable. Figured on a
 strictly economic basis, this crop of youngsters, which throughout the whole country is now about 2,000, 900 a year, represents a value of $40 0O0,- GOO, ,O0O-a sum equal to two-fifths of the whole estimated wealth of the nation. Therefore when it comes to records in the value of crops pro- duced, agricultural districts will have to give way to this city. These sur prising figures are reached by talk ing from the census reports the value of a workers year in products turn ed out and substracting from that his wages. The result is his value to the community for that period and his total value is easily calculated by multiplying this figure by the num- Der of yards of his working life. The average value of a years product per worker is now s26S0. For forty years the total, after subtracting wages, is S2O, 720, and that is the po- tential value of every member of the baby crop. At present it is esti- mated the country loses more than S60OO, O0O,0 every year through the death of one infant out of every six under the age of twelve months. IL is expected, however, that modern methods of caring for babies will be able to decrease this rate to at least one in ten. If this is accomplished it would mean a saving of s2,627, 3O0,O every year.

Roosevelt Dam Nov Averages
 Over lOOFeet High REGULATING THE RIVER
By Means of the Gates the Flow Below the Dam Can
 Be WeH Controlled--Th Movements of the People

Roosevelt, March 1S.-(SpeciaI Cor respondeuce of The Republican)-An average of three feet has been added to the dam during the last seven days, making the figures read at the present date as follows:
 Highest point above datum, 12O feet for a small part; higest average for about two-thirds of dam, III feet above datum: while the average height of balance or lower portion of Some 4.S00 or 4,400 cubic yards of stone and cement have been used in the last week
 The gates of the dam have been closed for the last thirty-six hours which has oCcasioned a rise in the lakes surface during that time of eight feet of water. Before the clos ing of the gates the water had got down to fifty-nine feet deep: while now it stands at sixty-seven feet at the dam. The gates will be again opened at ?. m. tonight.
 The occasion for which the gates were closed was to allow the river to run dry. so that large body of sheep could cross at the Verde cross ing. Surely, the dam is useful as well as ornamental in more ways than one.

"COY0TES" BITE THE
 DUST IN THE TENTH
Rholph's Select Nine Wins From the High School Boys by Score of 12 to 5.

The diamond stars from the Phoe- nix high school yesterday afternoon took out insurance against OvercOnfi- dence in the future by going down to defeat before Rudolph's InvincibIes or All Stars by a score of F to in an extra inning game. The game was poorly played at times, but neverthe- less furnished some excitement to the small crowd of fans who were scat tered through the stands. The Coyotes got away with a running start in the first inning. securing a lead of three runs. and until the seventh were suc- cessful in maintaining. their lead. Tn the last innings. however, several bal loon trips, which eliminated in one long aerial flight in the first of the tenth, resulted disastrousI~ for the stu dents and when they came to the bat in the last half of the last all hope had been abandoned and they were retired without a man having reached first base.
 In the seventh the Coyotes had a lead of four to one. when they re- moved Fannin, who had been giving a star exhibition in the box. and sub stituted Hurley. The Invincibles also removed their pitcher, Delgado. and substituted Johnson. The change of slab artists did not tend to improve the playing of either team, and from the seventh on the game was swat fest enlivened by a multitude of errOrs~ Until the first of the tenth the result was in doubt, when the Coyotes show ed a marked disability to obseruct the progress of a batted Eall That fact, together with three clean hits off Hur- ley. put the Coyotes out of the running.
