! on a visit to Mrs. Josie Arthur
 After spending a few days here she
 will visit another old neighborhood friend, Mrs. C. C. Pool of Scottsdale.
 After that she will visit friends in
 Texas Mrs. Perry comes direct from l Sacramento, where she has been
 stopping with a sister. The climate
 of Phoenix was not what she had been led to expect, for she says it is far more delightful than that of Sacramento. Thomas Perry, a son
 of Mrs. Perry, is sheriff of Platt
 county.
 BooTLEGGERS CoNvICTED-The
 case of Frank Logan and John Gee, charged with selling liquor without a license. was tried before Justice John
 stone yesterday and they were con-
 victed. They will be sentenced today.
 A considerable quantity of whisky
 and beer was found in their possess
 sion and it was found where they
 had bought their stock. Their de- | fense was that they had bought
 it for their own consumption and they
 said that they had consumed all of it
 except that found in their possession.
 But nearly a gallon of whisky and a
 considerable part of a case of beer could not be accounted for and the
 court declined to believe that they could have drunk all that stuff them
 selves in the space of twenty-four hours.
 A RANCHER ARTISTIC. w. Aus | ,.l, ln nrt- | lett Heard tract south of Phoenix.
 besides having a good home in the
 best country in the world, is an artist
 of no mean talent Three of his pie lures are displayed in the board of | trade room. Two of them were
 brought in for a wedding present for Secretary Welch, who is very
 proud of them and who is now | casting about for bride in order
 that he may perfect his title to them. One is picture of Fish Creek hill
 on the Roosevelt road and the other 1 is a scene in the near vicinity. Both are bromide camera pictures en- larged. and then painted in oil in
 most natural and realistic colors The third picture displayed is not quite ! SO EOpAl. etS IL VI eio opiiiNNAAAAS 'A e'AA | experiment. It is a night scene of the Roosevelt dam and while the water and cloud effects are good the picture is too dark to bring out the details of the dam.
 TOOL THIEF .HELD-John B. Smith, charged with stealing lot of carpenters tools from a fellowwork- man. Eugene Ortman. was given preliminary examination before Jus tice Johnstone yesterday and was held to the grand jury in the sum of $500. Smith told an unreasonable story regarding the manner in which the tools came into his possession. He said that one night a man who had a chest of what he said were tools in an alley back of the Good rich building where he had been em- ployed, wanted to sell them to him. He told Smith that they were worth S75. but he would take S10 for them so urgent was his need of money. Smith took them and was carting the chest along the alley until he reached the rear of the Monihon block where he encountered F. Wharton. whom he hired tO help him carry the box to the street car line. He told Wharton the same story that he told the court. Smith did not know the man who he said he bought the tools; never saw him before and was not sure that he would recognize him if he were 10 meet him in heaven. on this statement of the case he was held.
 IT KEEPS TRAVEllNG-An ex- ample of how few words given place in the right channel will result in almost endless publicity is at hand showing the value of advertising when it can be given a news interest. Last December Secretary Welch of the board of trade wrote half column of what he styled filters" each paragraph being an item con- corning this valley on some subject of general news interest elsewhere. The first paragraph was devoted to the ostrich industry. reciting the restrictions on the shipment of eggs and birds from south Africa and mentioning that the Salt River val ley had the largest ostrich farm out side of Africa. The item was pub lished in the Republican at the time and it was sent to a score of other papers. It appeared in a New York paper in February and was reproduced in an afternoon Phoenix paper with ! a New York date line. The same | item has come to hand in the Texas | Stockman of June 21, where it was | published as a filler" for short | column. The fact is not mentioned | as a reflection on the telegraph ser | vice of the Phoenix afternoon pa pers. but it is referred to only to | show how handy little news filters keep travelling. The item has prob ably been printed in a hundred pa pers. great and small, and will prob ably keep on appearing for the .neXt | year.
