BASS HOOKED FIVE YEARS.
"A Fishy Affair, But True Story.
Nevertheless.


Hey, you fishermen, can you beat
this? Five years ago Moses G. But
Ter of West Cornwall, Conn, while
fishing in Cream Hill Lake in that
town, rested his pole across the bow
of the boat to light his pipe of to-
bacco. In the twinkling a large fish
seized the bait and the pole disap-
peared.
Butler spent several days with
graphing hooks searching for the
missing pole and line, but no trace
OF it could be found. Thursday
while Attorney John Patterson, w.
d. Bosler, E. d. Cartwright and w.
II. Tully were fishing on the same
lake Patterson had a bite, and the
reel sped out some sixty yards of
line. The battle between men and
fish lasted half an hour, and the bass
which weighed six and one-half
pounds, was landed with a net.
A hook was found fastened
through the roof of the fish's mouth,
attached to a second line. The line
was down in the water, and at the
end was a pole with a reel attached
which Cartwright readily recognized
as the pole which Butler had lost
five years ago.
The bass had lived within the ra-
dius of the length of the line, some
seventy-five feet, and appeared none
the worse for carrying the burden of
hook, line and the pole The pole,
reel and line are in a remarkably
good state of preservation.

A Washington dispatch says:
SchOolmaster Durand Of the census
bureau, who conducts the biggest
class in arithmetic on record, is con-
frOnted with some of the hardest
problems in keeping order among his
pupils that were ever presented to
any school room disciplinarian.
Among the thousands of recruits
from every quarter of the nation are
persons suffering from extreme nerv-
BUSINESS and various other diseases,
as we'll as giddy young fiirts and Cos
siping old maids. One of the girls,
being subject to epilepsy, throws her
department into turmoil at indefinite
intervals by undergoing a spasm.
The official today estimated that this
young woman, by distracting the
minds of perhaps a hundred people
for an hour, deprives the government
of 100 hours work every time she
has a spasm.
The amount of gossiping among
the clerks has grown constantly as
they have become better acquainted

those calves began to bawl some of

homesick that they had to stop work

The majority of the clerks are
efficient, but the extraordinary I'M

nix will rest to no small extent upon even after arriving at a decision as to the class of pavement it is wished to install to take into consideration the cost of material in this city as well as the cost of labor. No two cities have precisely the same conditions, some paying higher wages to laborers than others, some having long hauls for stone and sand as compared with short CT hauls in other cities.
 All facts bearing on the cost locally will be gone into in the near future and it is probable that it will not be many days before outside contractors hearing of the paving agitation now going on in this city will have representatives on the ground offering such advice and suggestions as may be within their power.
 The committee has recently asked the secretary of a construction engi- neers' society in Los Angeles to furnish it with list of Contractors in that city who might be interested to the extent of submitting bids when called for on the proposed work
 once the matter of the kind of pave ment desired is definitely decided upon, the matter of financing will be under taken, but when that time arrives the committee expects to be in possession of all necessary information so that the citizens committee may be enabled to act intelligently in the matter.

X RECENT RULING 0F
 POsTOFf|CE DEPARTMENT
Having to do With the Return
 Registry Receipt

A recent ruling of the post office department will be of interest to readers Hereafter. the postmaster is not required to ask of patrons when they present registered mat ter whether or not they require a return receipt. If they do not of their own accord request the re- turn card or GO not otherwise indi- cate this desire, the postmaster will take it for granted that the receipt is not desired The ruling follows:
 To those concerned: Sufficient time having elapsed since the issu- ance of the Postmaster Generals Or der No. 3276 amending Sections Sl1, S52 and S55 of the Postal Laws and Regulations, providing that return re- ceipts for registered mail shall be furnished only when the sender shall make request therefor by an endorse ment upon the article, it is believed that the majority of the patrons of the registry Service are now familiar with this requirement.; therefore that part of the instructions requiring that until further notice postal en- pIoyees accepting mail for registra- tion must in every case ask if a re- turn receipt is desired is hereby re- voked. effective Dec. 1st, 1910."

BEET ENTHUSIAST
 BOOSTING CROPS HERE
WANTS MORE GROWN IN THIS
 DISTRICT
Five Hundred More Acres Wanted Under the Tempe Canal
 System

G. II. Patterson of Loveland, Cali fornia, has been spending several days
 on the south side and in company with C. H. Warehouse, has visited good many of the ranchers of the Tempe distriSt. Mir. Patterson is in- terested in the Southwestern Sugar
 and Land Company and his particular mission to this district is to instil into the people of this locality. a lit- tie more interest in the cultivation of sugar beets.
 Mir. Patterson is what might be | termed sugar beet enthusiast. His enthusiasm too. Is the genuine kind. He knows from actual experience what
 the cultivation of sugar beets in a
 community when the business is prop erly handled and the farmers go at it right will amount to. When he went 1 to Loveland some ten years ago. the place was little town of about eight
 hundred population. The first crop
 of sugar beets was harvested in that vicinity just ten years ago. Since that time and directly as a result of the sugar business. the town has grown to a population of over six thousand
 and is still growing. When he first went there land was selling at from
 thirty to forty dollars per acre. To-
 day it is selling at from S125 to s2O0
 per acre and according to Mir. Pat terson, there is mighty little of it on
 the market at that figure.
 Mir. Patterson controverts a theory
 that has been more or less accepted
 here-namely that beets are hard on
 the land He claims that it has been proven beyond a doubt in Colorado | that exactly the reverse is true. Beets
 enrich. rather than dcteriorate the
 land He cites examples in Colorado where ten successive crops have been
 grown on the same land and the tenth
 crop was just as heavy and as good as the first one. He does not re-
 commend this as a rule to follow. however. but suggests the rotation of crops A few crops of beets and then
 something else for a year or two q have looked the situation over
 here pretty carefully said he. and
 find that there is plenty of room
 in this valley for three factories but I find that the one that is now here is only half supported. It could will
 handle an acreage double what it | has"
 Mir Patterson added that he hoped
 to see a couple of thousand more
 acres signed up this year and hoped
 for about five hundred acres more in the Tempe district He and Mir. Waterhouse met with a good deal
 of encouragement among the Tempe farmers and the indications are that
 there will be large acreage put in 1 this year under the Tempe canal.
