At the hour of writing they had not yet re- turned.

ADDITIONAL VICTIMS
 0F SLAUGHTER SALE
Other Bargains to Be Found at Balke's
 Big Curio Store.n r

There are so many things being slaughtered at Ballse's Big Curio store thta it is almost impossible to mention a considerable part of them. It has been said though, that everything is going and everything has to go. It is necessary therefore to make special mention from time5to time.
 The subject now under discussion relates to Mexican cut coins of which large lot has just been received. They come in bracelets, watch fobs, stick pins. brooch and belt buckles. These are being sold for small part of their value. Then there are the Ma vajo Indian silver bracelets and rings, all engraved and some set with tur- quoise. These are genuine. not to be confounded with the imitation German silver bracelets frequently sold for In- dian work. These articles were never before sold at the prices at which they are going now.
 Now Is the time also to buy the Phoenix silver souvenir spoons. They are handsome and unique and especial ly desirable as gifts for friends In oth- CT parts of the country.
 But here is the attractive bargain for ladies, odds and ends of imported belt buckles. no two alike. They are being sold far below the original cost Now that attention has been called to them it is not likely that they will last long. A run Is also being made on Indian beads and strings.
 Now. these are only a few of the lines in which there are wonderful bargains. There are hundreds of oth- CTS which have never been mentioned The thing for visitors to do is to visit the Big Curio and ask for what they want. Whatever 1t may be. it will also be bargain for Mir.

A PLAY TOUCHING REAL LIFE.
To Be Presented at the Mesa Opera
 House This Evening.

Manager Macdonald will present to- night for the first time the great east ern success Why Girls Leave Home" which was one of the pronounced sue cesses of last season. The play is one that goes with a ring and a swing that makes the auditorium resound with laughter and applause, yet at times it causes a nerve racking. The story-one of the frailty of the weak CT sex and a mans perfidy-ls told ac- cording to the adage that truth is stranger than fiction The author has drawn from the facts of one of the most sensational tragedies in re- cent years, in which a brother was accused of killing his sister because of her wilfulness. It is told with re markable fidelity to details and incl dents in a plain, everyday manner. devoid of claptrap, mawkish sentiment or morbid sensatiOnalism.
 A brief outline of the drama follows:
 A young girl who is susceptible to flattery and having attained that age where she considers herself capable of choosing her own company. submits to the entreaties of not too reputable young man and accompanies him to public places against the wishes of her family. She has a brother who is try ing to follow the wishes of their dead father and naturally tries to look for her welfare. His sister resents his brotherly advice by a violent display of temper, when he on the impulse of the moment deals her a blow which almost kills her. At this moment an other woman appears on the scene and tells the brother he has killed his sister and offers to help him out of his trouble, but she in reality is trying to accomplish the downfall of both, the brother out of jealousy. the sister for revenge. She tries to win the brothers love by making him believe she is trying to get him out of prison. This she fails to do and. rather than think he would marry some one else. slips him a dagger in a newspaper, which he has asked for to kill himself with. At this moment the sister, who has been held a prisoner in the wom- ans house, having escaped, appears on the scene and saves him. You will have the opportunity to see this story in real life soon, presentd by one of E J. Carpenters companies-a name that always stands for something good.

30 YEARS OF FREEDOM"
 DREW 4 SMALL HOUSE
The Show Was Deserving of Better
 Attendance.

Thirty Years of Freedom" as pre- scented at the Goodwin opera house Tuesday evening by members of the African Methodist Episcopal church of Phoenix. was a success in one way and something of a failure in another. The play in itself was just about what might have been expected. It had its weak points, but they were far in the minority. It was really good show and was much enjoyed by those who care for that character of entertain ment. It was in the attendance that the misfortune loomed up. There has been considerable going on in Tempe lately and the play Tuesday evening did not draw a packed house by any means. Yet there were enough pres ent to a little better than pay the expenses of the company. and that is better than local organizations have done when they played at other places.
 The play was of five acts. Good songs and negro melodies were liber- ally interspersed during the acts. Tempe had a performer at one stage of the performance who drew. more than his share of applause. It was no other than Old Man Tom. who ap- peared on the stage with a long coat, his pants rolled up and cotton bat ting mask. He did a little stunt and then shook his feet. It was some little time before the audience realized who 1t was and, when did, Tom had to come back again and do it all over. For an old man Tom can certainly step some.

THE WORK BEING DONE
 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Encouraging Reports by Committees at the Last Meeting.

A meeting of the board of directors of the Mesa Chamber of Commerce was held in the library rooms on Tues day evening. There was a good at tendance. and practically all of the committees reported considerable work done. Several of these were continued until the next meeting night, however as their reports were not complete. Dr. A. J. Chandler stated that he had secured the writing of an extensive article on the value of Mesa orange lands and the future of this industry here. MT. Chandler reported that sev- eral local firms had taken a hundred copies each for distribution, and on motion like number were ordered for the chamber of commerce.
 Although the full report of the so- liciting committee, of which H L. Chandler is the chairman, is not ready to be made as yet, MT. Chandler stated that subscriptions had been received to the amount of $7s5.50 for the .ublic library and the chamber of commerce This committee was instructed to con tinue its good work.
 One of the subjects of much i'm portance to this community. and one which occupied considerable time at the meeting for discussion, was the question of good roads. D. W. Jones, the patentee of a practical road re- pairer and grader called "The Fool Killer" which he claims is the best of it's kind in the country, Is having it tried out on the roads in and around Phoenix, where it is giving complete satisfaction, as the recommendations of several prominent business and pro- fessional men of the capital city bore ample testimony.
 MT. Jones intends to work over section of one of Mesa's roads in order that the working of the machine may be seen, as well as the character of the work which it does. Mir Jones was assured that he would be given every encouragement that the mem bers of the board could offer and that lay in the power of the organization to advance the principles of good roads.
 During the etening T. E. Pomeroy spoke of the advisability of securing an experimental farm for this section. The matter was discussed at length. and the secretary was instructed to write Prof. Forbes for further infor- nation on the subject. The meeting then adjourned,

ORANGE GROVES
 OF CALIFORNIA
Some Food for Thought for Residents
 of the Valley.

Those owning homes in the neigh borhood of Mesa should sit up and take notice of the February sales of orange groves in southern California. While it is a noted fact that California sells more or less cli- mate. yet 1t is the orange grove that brings the money.
 The entire Mesa section, without an acre of waste land Is remarkably well adapted to orange growing. The soil depth is eighteen or twenty feet and the bottom is as good as the top. Humus (decomposed vegetable matter) is all that is needed to make a rapid growth of orange trees, and land that produces year after year and twice a year, if planted. fifty bushels of wheat or fifty bushels of corn should not be said to be lacking in humus. Soil ex- haustion is unknown, as humus is con- tinually added by blowing under vege- table growth and irrigation. The wa ter from the river carries at all times more or less vegetable matter, and in seasons of freshets the river water Is saturated with decayed and decom- posed matter in a soluble form ready
 
 ing crops.
 It was conceded by California papers that Arizona oranges ripened earlier, and were of better color and flavor, and California growers were advised to not ship oranges so long as the Arizona oranges were on the markets. To give out as a matter of news that any Arizona product was bringing twice as much as a like California product was, to say the least, little wearying to the patriotic boosters of California.
 While the orange groves bring the big money other features are recog- nized as of importance. The eucalyp- tus and pepper adds materially in the way of attractiveness. Their pepper lanes" are a source of pride. The owner must get a permit to top or trim his shade or ornamental trees.
 These trees are just as ornamental and grow just as well at Mesa, and 1t is high time for an organized effort of systematic planting.
 Some California Prices.
 Vice President Fairbanks bought 112 acres at s7O,O0O, and fifty acres of this in grapes to be removed and planted to oranges.
 David McClelland purchased ten acre grove at s1S,000.
 G. K Stokes purchased ten acres at 17,5O0
 John c. Smith purchased a fifteen acre grove at s15.000.
 Archie Covington purchased Q ten acre grove at $12,O00. This with no buildings, bou0ht as an investment.
 J. H. Hope. seven acres at s13.OOO
 David Perry a five-acre grove at :6,O00, and another five acres set to Valencias at s7,5O0.
 A J. Wilson an eight-acre grove at s12,OOO.
 J. E. Williams an eight-acre grove at s13,000.
 c. W. Chamberlain a ten -acre grove at s15.000.
 It is said that every year old orange stock in Santa Anna county has been sold at from go cents to s1 each. Or anges are certainly going some, and eucalyptus and peppers are keeping company. D. D. SMITH.
