Uncle Sam's Soldier Boys Anr ious to Spend Fourth in
 Bisbee

Further attempts are being made through letter forwarded last even i-g by George Buxton. to make cer. tain the presence of Captain Bigelow ct the head of the Fort Huachuca troops in Bisbee during the celebra- ton of the Fourth. Every inducement possible is being put forth to secure the bcys of Uncle Sam who would no doubt prove a great drawing card and a feature not to be overlooked
 According to the statement by Mir. Buxton. the members of the cavalry will be given plenty of opportunity to demonstrate the mettle of their favorite horses while the members of the infantry will be asked to engage in the athletic sports. Letters have already been received from Captain Bigeiow stating that he as well as the members of the troops, are desirous of making the trip and it is generally u1- derstood that the captain will do all in his power to secure the consent Of the government authorities 10 make the trip.

Mayor Figures All Costs For Municipal Improvements
 Are Within Estimates

According to statements given out by Mayor Neale last evening, Bis bees municipal improvements will be complete within the next sixty days. aside from the extension of the street car line out Tombstone Canyon to the western city boundary. lines. More than equally as important is the fact that the entire work will be completed at a cost well within the limits as denoted by the bonds floated for such purposes
 It is now figured that the sidewalk work on the old subway will be com plete by the last of the month or pos sibly at an earlier date. The i'll feel ing that evidenced itself when the
 work first began in relation to the , width of sidewalks and thoroughfares has long since disappeared with the result that the work i5 nearing com pletion to the satisfaction of every body concerned.

 the next sixty days. weather condi- tions permitting. In line with such | improvements is the announcement
 of the street car company. that their portion of the contract included ia their franchise of extending theiF tracks along Tombstone Canyon to the western limits of the city will be
 carried out immediately. This means
 that work on the new car line will
 begin within the next sixty days. | Work on the waterworks improve
 ments is also progressing rapidly
 with the gratifying announcement that
 this work will be complete within the
 next ninety days or less. the same
 representing another municipal expen-
 diture of nearly $125.000. This work
 Is being done by the city rather than
 by contract. the result being that the
 cost will be well within the limit of
 the original appropriation. The new ' subway is now practically complete

 FOR B|sBEE
Management of Y. M. c. A, Has Secured Good Feature
 For September

Alive to every movement that counts for the city's advancement and culture. the management of the Young Mems Christian Association yesterday completed arrangements by which this city would be included in the Arizona and Texas Chatauqua cir cult which will be organized this sum meF
 The program which is to be present ed in Bisbee fer nine consecutive nights. September IS to 2I, contains some of the best talent on the lecture platform in this country today and those who have long regretted the few opportunities in Bisbee to hear the country's foremost men will, by today's arrangement have opportunity to hear program equal to that of any Chatauqua in the country.
 The list of those who will appear here and lecture during the Chatauqua are William Jennings Bryan. eX-Gov- ernor Joseph w Folk. ex-Goyernor H. A. Buchtel of Colorado. Captain Richmond P. Hobson of Merrimas fame. Sunshine" Hawks, Dr. T. w. Jeffry of Iowa and Dr. J. w. Stewart of Missouri. In addition to the lee lures to be given the Royal Hungarian Orchestra of seven pieces will give two nights entertainment Nicola, the famous magician will also appear two nights and the Quaker Male Quartette of Philadelphia will have one night.
 The committee will today finish plac- ing on sale with the business men of the district the first 300 tickets which will assure the coming of these people to Bisbee. More than half the number necessary have already been subscribed for by the business men for distribution among their custo- mers as this is the only method by which this first allotment of tickets can be obtained It is planned to make the event one that will reach the entire county and special excur- sions will be run into Bisbee during the Chatauqua dates.
 In order to give the children of the public schools who have so little op- portunity of getting the educational value from these Chatauqua features conducted so largely in the east, sec retary Bucbner has secured in the contract with the Chatauqua circuit managers the right to admit all children of the Loretta and public schools at a nominal rate well within the means of the many children of the district

Tentative Plans Call For lear ing out Bowling Alleys For
 Use of Proposed Club

For the first time since the plan was advanced. the rifle range at the I. N. c. A. building new seems | certainty. according to the results of a committee meeting at the Y.M.C-A building yesterday afternoon. Though yet tentative, arrangements continue to proceed for the tearing out of two of the bowling alleys and the instaila- ton of the two ranges
 According to the plans. the Y.M.C. A martsmen will soon form a cllb with a view of affiliating with the National Riflemen's association and the Country clubs rifle club with a view of extending courtesies to each in the way of using opposite ranges. The local range will be of such linn tied space that it will permit of oniy the use of lighter ammunition.
 In addition to the Y. CA. rifle club. a boys club will also be organ ized for the purpose of recreation only. The other club will indulge in immediate and consistent practice in order that regular shoots be held with the Country club representatives of the National Riflemen's club.
 BOWLING TO BE STOPPED
 Bowling will be discontinued at the | M "A. during the months Of July and August in favor of the more pop ular sport, box-ball. The bowling alleys as they are now arranged VIII be equally divided. two for the rifle range to be Installed and two for the box-ball alleys
 Upon arrival of the cooler months bowling will be resumed, whereupoa the box-ball alleys will be moved up- stairs and continued throughout tho winter. Should the latter sport prove papular. a tournament will be ar ranged with a sufficient schedule to continue throughout the winter

Profit In Blue Gum Groves

In setting out a eucalyptus grove
for profit about 900 trees are planted
to the acre. For the first two or
three years irrigation is necessary,
but after that no further attention is
needed. Naturally some of the trees
are malformed and stunted, and
these are cut for firewood when 3
or years old.
The next better class of trees as
they attain sufficient size are cut for
railroad ties, masts, bridge timbers,
piling, telegraph poles and similar
purposes. The best and straightest
of all are allowed to grow until they
are eight years old, or much longer if
the production of very large timber
is more desired than quick returns.
The best quality of large timbers
when manufactured into lumber
sell at from 500 to $40 thou
sand feet for use in cabinet work and
interior finish.

thing else which grows rapidly, re-
quires lots of food. This is taken up
by the roots in the form of salts in
solution and elaborated in the leaves.
Hence, the tree can not get it's food
unless it's roots can obtain water.
While eucalypts will grow where the
soil moisture is deficient, the rate of
growth will be much slower than
where the tree gets all it needs. A
fairly retentive, deep soil, which re-
ceives an annual rainfall of over 30
inches of rain will produce splendid
trees.
Deficient soil moisture is supple
mented by atmospheric moisture.
During heavy fog the foliage of
gum trees drips as if from a shower,
and the ground under the trees be-
comes soaked overnight.
The mamma and gray gums can be
safely planted where the temperature
does not drop below 22 degrees f.

an average of SO a cord in Califor-
mia. After paying for the cutting
and splitting the grower has mar
gin of from So to So a cord-say SIS
for an average.
I had groves shown me which have
netted SO to 80 cords an acre at each
cutting, or $3.50 to $400 an acre net
profit, and the cuttings occur about
every four years, hence 800 an acre
per year.
The wood is also used for fence
posts, telephone and electric poles
and piling. Certain species of the
eucalyptus is proof against the teredo
and Hmnoria and outlasts creOsote
piling or cement piling in ocean
wharves. The piles bring SIS to SIS
each. The timber is used extensively
for railroad ties. 1t outlasts ties
from other woods.

sion material the gum timber sells
from 800 to $125 per thousand, and
retails for 121a cents per foot fin
ished and 10 cents for rough timber
The timber eucalypts furnish a
hard wood, possessing qualities Mim-
liar to those Of hickory and ash. The
specific gravity of the wood is greater
than that of water, the dry wood Of
the blue gum averaging over so
pounds per cubic foot, varying from
SO to 70 pounds, according to the
age Of the timber. The wood of other
species is even heavier. It is very
tough, resisting indentation, tension
or torsion. 1t will not crack nor
break out under strain at joints or
bolt holes.

The blue and sugar gums cannot
stand less than 26 or % degrees F.
The water table should not be more
than 25 feet below the surface. The
trees will not grow in marshy land.
Choice of Species.
The seeds to select in their order
or value would appeal to me as fol-
lows: Blue gum (globulus); sugar
gum (corynoclax) red gum (ro-
strata); gray gum Cteret1cornus)
mamma gum (viminalis), and lemon
gum (citriOdOra).
