BASEBALL PARK AT
 THIRD AND POLK SIS.
Athletics and Maroons Driven From Their Happy Home, Will Play
 Ball Elsewhere.

The devotees of baseball being un- able to get the Eastlake park for the next three Sundays. have concluded to dig up a park of their own in a more accessible place in town, the well known corner of Third and Polk streets. where the Athletics and Ma room clubs will play each other for the public fun on Sunday next at 3 D. m.
 The batteries will be: for the Ma roons-Smiley and Grijalva: for the Athletics-Godfrey and Pima. Smiley and Grijalva are too popular to need any introduction to a Phoenix audi ence.

Pima will no doubt keep his end up and catch a few men out at bases.
 Of course there will be no purse up Sunday The boys will be lucky if they can take up a collection big enough tO pay them for the trouble of playing for the delectation of the public. Though the public has treated them we'll, and they will no doubt do their best to please. even if the ground has no high board fence.
 Manager Remedy of the Athletics plays shOrtstop for his team. and Scott for the Maroons. Scott is one of the classiest players in the league, and many will be anxious to See if Br'er Kennedy can keep up with him in that difficult and trying position. Kennedy says he'll at least try hard.
 The diamond Is free from weeds, which is one great advantage to the players which it has over the park in its present condition. It will give the men all a good chance to show what is in them under the best of conditions, and good game may be expected.

KEMP WILL RAISE
 PED|GREED OSTR|CHES
HE WILL SPECIALIZE ON HIS
 FL PASo OSTRICH FARM.
Original Stock Has Been Purchased
 in This Valley

in This Valley
 Thomas W. Kemp, who has been in this valley most of the time for the last eighteen months studying the ostrich industry, who has devoted his life to scientific ostrich culture. and who from time to time has given the readers of the Republican valuable information on the sub ject, is going to Fl Paso to start an ostrich farm. That is not because he has found Fl PasO a better place to raise ostriches, but because Fl PaSO capital has become interested and Fl PasO conditions are suitable for the particular field MT Kemp expects to fill. It is not his purpose at present to develop the largest Cs- trich farm in the world, or to raise the most birds, but he does expect to raise a superior quality of birds. He proposes to engage in the Scieu- tific breeding and handling of the ostrich to secure better results than heretofore, just as in these days the herdsman Is raising the grade of his range cattle. from horns to beef. It costs no more to feed a good steer  tends that it costs no more to feed an ostrich producing high priced fei thers than it does a bird producing cheap feathers. The initial cost of pedigreed stock is greater and the extra care and management in pro viding scientific ratiOns, etc. may be greater, but to offset it there will be the added value of the birds.
 For the starting of his Fl Paso farm MT Kemp has bought birds selected from the Wickey-Laird f1rms and from Dr. A. J. -Chandler's tlo"kS at Mesa City, to the value of $l0.ooo- He proposes to grow only pedi%caed stock that will set the staudar for ostriches in America. His purchase of Arizona birds speaks we'll for the local stock. as Mir. Kemp has visited all the California farms and pre- fers the Arizona birds to anything future. He says it will pe but a a couple of thousand of dollars to pay for a single pair of ostriches if he can find what he wants. and that is a male which will produce prime white feathers and female which will produce selected femlnas-
 MT. Kemp expects to ship his birds to Fl Paso in about a week. or as soon as he can secure suitable cars He says that for many reasons he regrets leaving this valley, where he has lived for a year and haI and for which he conceives a great future H esays it will be but a short time until the valley lands are much higher than they are now and from the ostrich growers point or of view there is no better country He says that when the ostrich in dustry is better understood. it will be found that certain ostrich growers will be willing to pay much higher prices for alfalfa land as they do now in South Africa, where today alfalfa lands are as high as $l25O per acre.
 MT. Kemp says the property secured for his new venture will be ap'ut five miles from Fl Paso.

what is the use of arbitration treaties

make 1t incumbent on this country to
