To determine the changes wrought by

been established in different spots, to

of which changes are being minutely
recorded for the benefit of science.
Some important studies In transpor-

tons of the desert region, are being
made; also experiments to determine
the relations of desert plants to light
and humidity Delicate recording ap-

The wives, sisters, mothers and daughters of members of the Santa Cruz Club, have organized an | auxiliary club to be known as The Women's Auxiliary of the Santa Cruz Club.
 On Wednesday evening, March 9th, the House Committee of the Santa Cruz Club met with the wives, sisters mothers and daught- CTS of the club members, and of- fered to them the privilege of using the Club Rooms every Wednesday afternoon from 1 to 5:3O; and further offered them an appropria- ton of 5000 a month, which ap- pro 2riation has been made to de- fray the expenses of the al xiliary organization.
 The ladies present organized un- der the name of The Women's Auxiliary of the Santa Cruz Club, and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Mrs R. M. Parsons, president; Mrs. w. w. Carney, vice president; Mrs. A. c. Kingsley, secretary.
 A committee for the preparation of bylaws was appointed.
 Beginning in April. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month it is proposed that there be a program of entertainment, which program shall be prepared by a committee of four members for each meeting.

Rain Badly Needed.

The slight rain which fell Friday came only as a teaser to the cattle men of this section, and the entire territory for that matter. The range everywhere is in need of a drenching rain.
 A good rain at this time would mean thousands of dollars to cat tlemen, for it would save the lives of many cattle.
 There have been heavy rains in southern California during the last few days and the clouds over this section came from the west.
 All the ranges are dryer than they have been for years and the stockmen have already suffered great losses. Cattle are dying from lack af both feed and water.
 Practically all the water holes are dry and thousands of cattle are being kept alive with pumped water. There is so little for the cattle to eat that they have to travel long distances daily in search of feed.
 Cattle are dying in large num- bers above Roosevelt, it is reported. The herds will be practically wiped out unless there is rain within a few days. Farther up Tonto creek, in the Payson district, cattle are also dylng but the conditions are not so bad.
 In Pima, Santa Cruz and Yuma counties similar conditions prevail. Tombstone Prospector.

Isaacs on Peanut Culture.

The Tucson Citize of last Mon day says: At the meeting of the Cha mber of Commerce commIttes in charge of the Cinco de Mayo celebration, w. B. Isaacs, the en- gineer in charge of the construction of the Tucson Ga labasas railroad, will be present to address the mem- bers concerning the road and it's probable completion.
 Mir. Isaacs has assured Chairman Ormsby that the. track will be, laid as far as Calabasa by April 10 or 18th without doubt.
 Aside from the celebration affair MT. Isaac will call the attention of the chamber of commerce and the citizens of Tucson generally to the great possibilities fthe Santa Cruz valley from Tucson to the Mexican line for the cultivation of peanuts, one of the most valuable crops; he maintains, within the reach of local agriculturists.
 He has secured considera ble data on peanut culture. and from a study of the properties and condi- tions generally, he IS convinced thar the crop can be made to yield a profit of at least $45 per acre annually.
 The sandy and alluvial soil of the Santa Cruz valley, he claims, is peculiarly adapted 10 peanuts and water is near enough to the surface to insure good yields.
 So enthused is MT. Isaacs over this agricultural project that he will propose conducting an excur- sion of members of the chamber of commerce through the valley to demonstrate his ideas. The excur- sion will probably be taken some Sunday closely following Easter.

TUCSON WILL CELEBRATE.
The Old Pueblo Arranging to Enter tain Mexican Governors and
 Others.

Tucson will celebrate the open ing of the Tucson and West Coast of Mexico Railroad ou Thursday and Friday May 5th and 9th as originally planned. The commit tee in charge of the celebration has ascertained that the fiesta which is to be held at Mazatlan early in May Is only a local affair, and therefore not interfere with the Tucson celebration. At meeting of the Committee on Arrangements on Monday night, all of the sub committees were directed to go ahead with the1r plans.
 A special invitation committee headed by Fred Ronstadt will leave shortly for Hermosillo, Mexico, to extend a personal invitation to Luis Torres. Governor of Sonora, and his staff, to attend the open ing of the new railroad at Tucson. From Hermosillo the party will go to Culiacan to extend a personal invitation to the Governor of Sin alba and staff. The Governors and their staffs will be entertained at the expence of Tucson, and will be quartered at one of the leading Hotels. The Mexican band at Her m osillo will be brought to Tucson for the celebration, accompanying Governor Torres and staff.
 The Committee on Transporta- tion is already negotiating with the railroads with a view to securing a very low rate from all points to Tucson for the celebration. It is expected that all the railroads will make half rates to Tucson, while One Dollar rate from Nogales, and correspondingly low rates from all points along the line in Mexico may be secured.
 T. H. Schuster of Tucson, has been appointed Chairman of the Committee on Accommodations, and will answer all inquiries upon this subject.
