GROVES DICTIONARY.

With the publication of the fifth vol ume of the new Groves" Mir Fuller Maitland has completed the big task he undertook some five years ago of re- vising and bringing up to date the great Dictionary of Music and Musi- cians," which is the best known me morial to that remarkable genius, Sir George Grove. Educated as a civil en- gineer. Grove built the first cast iron lighthouse ever erected, in Kingman harbor, Jamaica, and was associated with George Stephenson in the early days of the London & Northwestern railway. Later he became an enthusi- astic Palestine explorer, and brushing up his school Hebrew at the suggestion of Dean Stanley, he qualified as valu- able coadjutor to. Doctor Smith in planning his Bible dictionary
 This work led him to think of similar comprehensive dictionary for musicians, but before tackling his greatest literary labor he edited for time MacmiIlan's Magazine. He was the first director of the Royal College of Music and for many years whote the analytical programs for the Crystal Palace concerts. Until his death, just ten years ago, he was, indeed. the best known parsonage in English musical circles. notwithstanding that he was neither composer nor an executant Unequal though the old Groves was, it laid splendid foundation for Mir Fuller Maitland's new Groves" the most complete encyclopedia of music in the English anguage.-London Daily News.

]. \. REAvES FILES
 ON BOX CANYON SITE
Which Already Has Two Struggling
 Claimants.

James Addison Ashley Reavis yester-
 day brought to a head certain business
 which has been detaining him in this locality for several months and fur ther complicated the situation in the box canyon of the Gila river. MT. Reavis filed in the land office his pa pers and maps applying to the secre- tarv of the interior for 3 reservoir right of way covering the Gila canyon. which is already in dispute between the Arizona Eastern Railroad company and the Slgh interests.
 The Reavis location of a damsite is 500 feet above the Sligh location. The application by Reavis is made in the name of the Gila River Water com pany. of which James Addison Ashley Reavis is president and w. E. D. Stokes of New York is vice president.
 This enterprise, said MT. Reavis is designed to cover 5OO,00O acres along the Arizona Eastern and Southern Pa cific in the Santa Cruz and Gila val Ieys. In reaching the stage which he has attained, MT. Reavis says he has spent a million dollars and stands ready to pay the department another million for d right ofway in the San Carlos Indian reservation. After that, he says. it will cost him and his friends several millions to bring their plans to fruitiOn.
 The dam which it is proposed tOI build will be 475 feet in height.
 William Earl Dodge Stokes, the mul- ti-millionaire real estate operator and owner of the Ansonia, the largest apartment house in the world, housing 1000 guests, is his sole partner Ca half owner) in this vast enterprise.
 Ashley Reavis has invented an abso- mtely safe form of dam which equaliZes gravity full or empty and spreads base up and down stream almost equal to the height of the dam. The gov ernment has adopted this form of dam at the Shushone damsite to be 3S5 feet in height which is the only structure and in the course of con- struction following Ashley -Reavis' ideal lines.

TRtTHEWAY RETURNS
 FROM CALIFORNIA TRIP
Southern Pacific City Ticket Agent
 Glad to be Back in Phoenix.

City Ticket Agent F. J. Tretheway of the Southern Pacific uptown office returned yesterday morning from his vacation of several weeks, spent at coast points in northern California. He was accompanied from Los An geles by General Freight and Passen- ger Agent A. R. Cater and Mrs Cater Within seven minutes after his arrival in Phoenix he was at his old place behind the desk in the Southern Pacific office selling tick cts and imparting information to all inquirers.
 Had the finest time of my life" said Mir Trethaway yesterday after noon. "Of course I spent some time in Los Angeles and went down to San Diego and some other of the beaches. but I never really enjoyed. myself more than l did in San Fran cisco l met quite a number of peo- ple up there that l knew, including c. $. Scott of The Republican. Scott and I rode down from Frisco to Los Angeles together. There are So many tunnels on the road between these two cities that Scott finally said he guessed we had made mis- take, and that instead of taking the surface line, were probably going to Los Angeles via some hitherto un- heard of subway. And it certainly seemed that 1t must be so.
 Tn Frisco there is a large amount of building still going on. but I'll tell you honestly there isn't nearly as much building going on there as there is at the present time in Phoe- nix. taking the two cities according to their respective sizes. Next to Phoenix I'm for San Francisco. Just as Phoenix is always busy, so found the streets of San Francisco always teeming with hustling, bustling throng.
 "The furtherest north l went was to Jamestown, California That's up in the old Bret Harte country, made famous in the old 49 days. That's the spot my wife loves for she has a host of relatives still living up there. Some of the old pioneers are still to be found there, and every once in a while one of them will bring in nugget or two as they did in the old days, so that it shows there is still gold to be found there.
 While in San Francisco I ran across a brother of Colonel J. H. McClintOck. He stroIled in to the St. Francis one day and we were introduced. He told me many interesting stories of his expe riences in Arizona. He was a fine fellow. He said he was actively in terested in mines and mining"
 Mrs Trethaway. did not return at | this time, but will remain in Cali 1 fornia for several weeks visiting with | friends and relatives. MT Trethaway | said that while it is much warmer | in Phoenix than at any place he | visited while away. there is still | something about the climate that i makes one think less of the high | temperature than they would of a | considerably lower temperature in California.

WILSON AND RALLIN(iER TO
VISIT WOOL GROWERS.

Portland, Dec 3.-Efforts are be-
ing made to secure the attendance OF
Secretary Ballinger Of the Interior
Department, and Secretary Wilson OF
the Department Of Agriculture at the
annual convention of the National
Woolsrowers' Association at Port
land, January 4, 5, 6 and Z.
Letters requesting their attend
ance will be sent from the officials OF
the Association, commercial bodies
and prominent citizens 1t is belley-
ed that sufficient pressure can be
brought to bear to bring these two
cabinet officials here, adding great
ly to the interest of the convention
In recent letter to Secretary
Walker of the Association, Secretary
Wilson says:
The wool interests should be
carefully looked after at the present
do not think it would be wise to
have legislation by congress detri.
mental TO the wool interests of the
country. The sheep has become one
of our great meat producing animals,
| and II costs the people too much at
this time to buy meat.
| I'VE should encourage the devei.
opment of the sheep industry all
along the line. There are millions
of the mississippi may say east
of the Alleghenies, and south as vel.
as north OF the Ohio river, that
should maintain sheep.
Somehow the American farmer
has not appreciated fully the value
of sheep as a meat producer and Il
renovator of the soil. The spring
lamb that comes on the market DOR
ing the summer, is the one kind OF
meat that has been produced with
out feeding grain; and that is a
mighty reason for the increase Of the
sheep industry"

DUKE OF CONNAUGHT ENDS
NOTABLE TOUR.

Durham, Dec. s. The reception
here today of the Duke of Connaught
and his party, marking the conclu
sion OF their tour of the new South
African union, was a magnificent
success. The duke and duchess
were welcomed by the governor of
Natal, the members of the provincial
government, a committee of promin-
ent residents, representing the mu-
nicipality Of Durham, and a large
number of military and naval Off
GERS. The populace turned out en-
masse and cheered the royal visitors
enthusiastically
A popular reception was held in
the city park and addresses of well

3anick's body Another bullet was
-ound imbedded in the wall of the
DOM, opposite the door. The infer
4nce of the officers is that two shots
were fired-the first one shot while
the door was open and Bannick stand
ing in the doorway, missed it's in
tended victim and struck the oppos-
lite wall, while the second one shot
after Bannick had slammed the door
in the face of his assailant, accom-
plished its deadly purpose.
y little brother OF Miss Walrath
who was staying with her, was out
side the shack at about 1880 p. NJ,
and claims TO have heard two shots
fired in the direction of Bannick's
abode. This would seem to fix with
'some accuracy the hour at which the
crime was committed. Lowry alleg-
eS that he was not on his own claim
that evening nor in that neighbor-
hood, but had gone to the claim of a
sister about three miles distant,
where he spent the night as he had
| frequently done heretofore. 1t was at
his sisters claim that the officers
found him Saturday night. Unfortun-
ately for the alibi, which he will un-
doubtedly seek to prove, his sister
was away from home on the evening
in question, visiting at q neighbors.
and there was no one at her place
when he arrived or for two hours
later, covering the time in which the
killing is supposed to have taken
place.

HOMESTEADER SHOT THROUGH
DOOR OF CLAIM SHANTl
Rival for Claim of Young Woman
ClaimhOlder Suspected Of
The Crime.

Daviston, Dec. Gus Ban
county, lies dead with bullet thro
his left lung, while Arthur W. Lowry
a neighbor, is under arrest charged
with his murder. All this, it is be-
lieved, is because Lizzie Walrath, a
young lady of the neighborhood,
had told Lowry that Bannick should
hereafter be her steady company, a
distinction that Lowry had previous
ly enjoyed, and which he still covet-
ed. All three parties occupied ad-
| joining homesteadS about three miles
west Of Date, rural postoffice Of
Perkins county, and their respective
| shacks are within a distance Of so
rods or less of each other
| Arthur Lowry had been keeping
company with Miss Walrath for some
| months, and Friday afternoon, No
vember 25, went to her shack to ell
gage her company for the meeting of
the literary society which met that
evening in the school house at Date.
He found Bannick there ahead of
him and was informed that Lizzie
had already made an engagement
with the latter for the evening, and
more than than that he was to be
made no secret OF the fact that he
was angry over the rebuff, but final
! ly left telling the girl that he would
see her later.
Evening came and the society met
| but it was noted that Lowry, Ban
nick, and Miss Walrath, who had al
ways been regular attendants, were
| absent from the meeting. Some OF
those who were present passed Ban
hicks shack on their way home, and
seeing bright light burning, stop
ped to inquire the cause of his abb
sence. There was Eo response to
their knocking on the door, and they
pushed it open to find the owner OF
the place lying dead just inside the
doorway, with a bullet hole in his
chest and his clothing saturated with
blood. Word was sent to the sheriff
at Bison as quickly as possible, and
he came to the place the next day.
Investigation revealed bullet
hole through the PANEL of the door

CHINESE PROGRESS.

Waterloo Courier: The cut-thrOat.
rat-eating Chnaman, as type u
his race, is no more. The progress
toward popular government of the
Chinese during the past year is al
most unparalleled in history. From
an absolute monarchy which has
been regarded by the world as a wiz
derness of ignorance. savagery and
filth, it has suddenly inaugurated
| the beginnings OF a popular form OF
government which bids fair to soon
be on par with that of other limited
monarchies and republics.
Only within the present year has
the Chinese senate become a reality.
Half of its members are appointed
by the throne. But when this body
| realized that its functions were to
be merely of an advisory character,
| 1t developed an opposition party
which today demands general par
patches say that the throne has re-
ceived memorials of the senate, vice
roys and governors With favor and
| that this means that the prayers oi
| the peoples representatives will be
granted
| However radical a step institutions
of China seem to have taken toward
pOpularization, the forces working
underneath have been potent and
persistent. While the undermining
| OF the great empire has been toe
great task for few years, the
leaders of China have had their eyes
open to the progress Of the world.
Also we are now beginning to ap
| preciate in a political way the work
of Christian missionaries in the ce
lestial kingdom. Their heroic eff
forts have already been successful
in Outstanding a million people
many of whom are aggressive il
spreading the faith among their con
yerted countrymen. The potency o
this work is now showing itself up
on the surface, and representative
government will help it along. Tn,
progress of China must fill the soul.
of those who have labored and sWea
for her reclamation with feeling
of reward too rich for words.

OF New York, and to receive $3.50
IN queer tinkly Panama money in
change for five dollar bill.
Every body in Panama takes a
carriage even if going only few
steps. The heat is SO oppressive that
one learns quickly to husband his
energy. The visitor used to Yankee
cabbies will be astonished at the
conclusion of an hour ride through
Panama City behind a diminutive
pony, to learn that it costs him just
50 cents in gold. The only way the
cabby has of getting even is by charg-
ing enormous prices in Mexican mon
ey for all stops and waits.
In the States one hears great
deal about earth quakes in Central
and South America and the fear has
been expressed by some that such
convulsion would destroy the locks
and dams of the canal Down in
Panama the visitor who thus ex-
presses himself is given valuable
documentary refutation. He is first
taken to the Cathedral ruins in PAN
ANA City, and there may see two
magnificent brick arches which have
been standing since early in the 9TH
century. They used to have real
| earthquakes in those days, but the
arches are still strong. Nowadays
the only earthquakes they have are
slight movements, hardly noticeable
and very rare.
The documentary evidence is in
fact that scientists have classified
Panama as without the earthquake
belt. A few hundred miles north
west in Central America lies Costa
RIGA, shaken and often convulsed
nation. To the southeast lies South
America, well within another quake
zone. Panama's history shows nc
earthquakes of any size for dozens of
decades.
The Seismographs installed by the
government to record earth shocks
have made some peculiar records
For instance, the record" of the big
quake at Costa RIGA few years age
was smaller, of less duration and in
Dictated feebler impulses, than the
seismograph records at Washington
OF the same shock.
1t is a we'll known fact that con
crete resists earthquake shocks more
successfully than any other con
structive material.
1t is used to the exclusion Of ev
erythlng else on the canal. A shocl
: OF the same magnitude as that which
started the San Francisco fire would
have little effect upon the MASSIVE
: docks and spillways.
No mere recital of the specifi
cations of the canal conveys the mag
ntude or difficulty of the work
They are making islands OF two con
Nttinents down there. and new geog
raphy--they are building mountain
: and creating rivers.
In the words of President Taft
cit makes one prouder than ever t
think he is an American, when h
