gave another talk, this time before
the teachers, in the high school room.
The reporter did not hear all Of her
wise counsel for the teachers on the
subject of teaching the young how
to read, but enough of it to know
that it was counsel that not only
teachers but parents would do we'll
to hear and heed. Speaking of pro-
nunciation, Miss Sanford intirnated
that it was possible to place too
much stress on precision in this re-
spect. For example, on the mooted
pronunciation of such words as cul-
ture and literature. she thought that
as a general principal the last sylla-
BILE should be pronounced about as
the ordinary pronunciation of the
word your" which shows that the
lady is not preacher of the gospel
Of "culchaw."
Miss Sanford's counsel to the
teacher about bringing out the nat
ural tones of child's voice was par
ticularly sensible and sound. She
spoke of the human voice being the
most wonderful instrument ever
created and deplored that children
should so sadly misuse it by speaking
and reading in heady. high pitched
tones. She counseled teachers to
correct these tendencies. as far as
possible. without ridiculing the pu-
pills or hurting their feelings, but by
showing examples of the abuses
made of their voices, Miss Sanford
giving some we'll known reading ex-
ercises in the discordant and affected
styles and contrasting them with the
easy and natural or animated styles,
the contrast being such as would ap-
peal to the crudest understanding.
Miss Sanford particularly scored af-
fectation in reading-indeed that
lady had very little patience with
any speech or thing that is not true
and wholesome.
In conclusion, Miss Sanford, refer
ring casually to her limitations in
strength by reason Of her II years
and her recent illness, observed that
long before Mrs. Eddy had been
heard of, she had laid down for her.
self the general principle that she
must never plan or think about be-
ing anything but in good health.
Her experience had convinced her
that the habit of chronic illness UNI
fitted many who might do better if
they would cultivate different at
titude of mind. She closed with ex-
pressions of thanks for her recep-
ton by teachers and citizens, and
surances that she had enjoyed her
visit here.
Much might be said in commenda-
ton of the practical papers and dis
cussions of the teachers taking part,

Joseph's Dairy Up to the Minute.

Rud. Stensvad accompanied a
small party which drove out to the
Tyson dairy farm Monday, Mr.
Stensvad's mission being to make a
test Of the present milch cows con-
stituting the herd. His test showed
the average of AZ butter fat for the
% cows tested. This is above the
average, but the last test at the
farm showed a little higher, some of
the best mixers being dry at this
time. The party were impressed
not only with the fine herd, but
with the clean and well ventilated
quarters and the milk house. built
of concrete blocks and with a floor
of the same material. The Up-to- Date
dairy is run on lines worthy of its
title.

Petitions for State Road.

A petition for having gthe direct
road between this city and Morgan
declared a state road has been circu-
lated ia Morgan and such a petition
was drawn up by Attorney Owens
for circulation in the territory d.
reetly interested and in this city,
yesterday. The road parallels the
railroad most of the way, and the
project would be aided by contribu-
tons by the investment company
which purchased the Davidson lands
as we'll as the Gilfillan interests.
Under the state law. the county
board would have to join with the
state in the actual work of construct
ing the highway. A reliable high
way between the two towns would
not only benefit the farmers on the
line but would constitute an import
ant link for highway between the
northern and southern portions of
the county.

Asks Concession Be Cancelled.

R. L. Hogue is now in the City of Mexico with a petition to the department of the interior asking that the big zona concession grant ed to the Cole-Ryan interests by the Mexican government be dis continued after this year and the ground embraced in the zona be thrown open to location.
 This zona is of vast area and ex- tends from San Antonio, Sonora, to a point below Cumaripa, distance of about ninety miles; in width the zona is nearly thirty miles.
 The territory within the borders of the zona can be located only by the Cole Ryan interests; all others are prohibited from taking up a foot of the land for mineral pur- poses. The zona contains many promising prospects and is in the heart of a highly mineralized dis trict in which there has been for many years steady production of gold, silver and copper.
 Many prospectors, not aware that they were hunting mineral in closed territory, have gone inside the lines of the zona and found what they considered to be good mineral showings and in some cases they have done work. When ap- plication was made for a conces- sion to the ground, they were told that no title could be given and that they were trespassing in the Zona.
 Since the concession to hold the zona was given the Cole Ryan in- terests-have done little if any pros pecting and have opened up none of the prospects that were discov- cred since they were given exclu- sive right to locate any mineral bearing ground they might select.
 The business interests of the coun- try near this zona and the prospec- tors and mining men of Southern Sonora are very much dissatisfied with the monoply of valuable ground given the Cole-Ryan people and an enormous petition asking the revoking of the concession has been sent to the interior depart. ment.
 The petition is signed by mer- chants, bankers, state officials, attor neys, farmers, freighters, prospec- tors and mine owners. It states that the district is being held back by this large territory being closed to prospectors and that the Cole Ryan people are doing absolutely noth- ing with it except to keep outside capital from opening it up.
 The people near the zona feel that their rights have been taken from them and that they are en- titled to some consideration from their government insofar as the opening up of their district goes by the investment of outside capital.
 The concession expires within a short time and the residents of the country directly interested have reason to believe that the Cole Ryan interests expect to get fur ther extension of the big land monopoly. Their petition is for the purpose of stopping any action towards a continuance of the concession.-Bisbee Miner.

London. May 27.-Some remarkable
details of the disposition of the world S
charity to the italian earthquake suf-
ferers are furnished by the Daily Mails
Rome correspondent. He says that al
though the principal ruined cities have
not as yet even begun, the reorganiza-
ton of normal life practically all the
relief funds have been already dis
bursed or promised.
The president of the Central Relief
Committee has furnished the follow
ing figures. which, however, are only
approximate:
The relief sent by foreign countries
was valued at s4,76o,OO0. of which the
cash subscriptions were approximately
as follows: Great Britain. 100000:
Argentina, 100000; Germany. 100000;
France, 100000. and the United States,
100000. The relief from other coun-
tries has not yet been calculated pre-
cisely
The foregoing sums do not include
provisions from abroad. huts and war
ship relief.
The italian Government voted S.
100000, and imposed surtaxes equiva-
lent to S14,000,000, the latter being dis
tributed over a series of years to be
expended in restoring public services
in the earthquake area.
In addition to these amounts the
Vatican received s1.2OO,OOO from the
Catholics of the world, much of which
has already been distributed by the
Sicilian and Calabrian clergy.
This is total contribution of $685.

for rearing orphans and other chart
ties. which must continue for years.
