James H. Wallis Re-appointed.


James H. Wallia, whose service as
chief clerk of the house of representa-
tives are re arded as invaluable both by
republicans and democrats alike, has
demonstrated his ability in other lines
as well for he has just been re-appointed
state food and sanitary commissioner
for term of two years with an increas-
ed salary from $500 to $4,000 per year,
with deputy and travelling expenses
and with largely increased powers and
duties,
MIR. Wallis ability as chief clerk were
SO well known that at the time the leg
islators assembled there was universal
demand for his services for this session
and he was prevailed upon to place his
resignation as pure food commissioner
in the hands of the board and to ac-
cept the position as chief clerk. His
familiarity with legislative routine, his
knowledge with every detail of the
work and his quickness, have caused
him to be recognized by all factions and
parties, as the right man for that place
and this sentiment is now more unani-
nous than ever.
The legislature during the session
enacted laws greatly increasing thu
duties of the pure food and sanitar.
commissioner and accordingly giving
him greater salary The state boart
of health, recognizing his valuable
services during the last two years, de
clined to accept his resignation, bu
held it 10 allegiance during the session
and at its close honored him with re
appointment for term of two years
He will enter upon his duties as soon a
the work following the close of the ses
sion is disposed Of Capital News.

A Woman's Way.

A man awoke one night with tooth
ache.
He groaned; he turned and twisted;
he howled; he sat up and lay down
again; he arranged his pillow and
pressed it against his face with anoth-
er groan.
His wife slept on and never moved.
He wanted attention. he wanted
sympathy, and he groaned again.
Still she slept.
Injury added to the pain. 1t wasn't
treating a fellow right to sleep like
that when he was suffering with a
painful tooth. and he called her name.
Still she slept.
He had groaned three times as loud
as he could, and she didn't awake.
Then the baby. in its crib in another
room. sighed softly in its sleep.
The woman was on her feet and,
standing beside its crib, anxious eyed,

THE LAND OF CHEESE.
Switzerland Has the Proud Honor OF
Deserving This Title.

Cheese, although an important prod
uct of our dairy farms and a reason
ably popular article of diet in the Unit
ed States, has never held quite the po-
sition with us given it in some Euro
pean countries.
English and Germans are far greater
consumers of cheese than we, while
both are surpassed by Norwegians. But
above all Switzerland is the land of
cheese. On more than one occasion
travellers have dwelt upon the func-
tions, social and sentimental as well
as astronomical, performed by the
cheese of Zermatt-that remarkable
cheese which is so hard that it has to
be scraped with a knife or cleft with
an ak.
It is said by one authority that the
patrician rank of Swiss family in
that part of the confederation is esti-
mated by the age of its cheese, and
the greater the respect due to or the
affection for a guest the older is the
cheese set before him. There are said
to be families who own cheese that

only on solemn occasions, such as
christenings. weddings or funerals.
There are in each pantry at least as
many cheeses as there are boys and
girls in the family, for at the birth OF
every child cheese is made which is
named after the newcomer and is first
cut into on his or her wedding day, on
which festive occasion all guests par
take of piece of the groom's and the
brides cheeses in order to secure for
them all earthly thrift and happiness.
The rest is served as a token of friend
ly souvenir and heartfelt mourning
after the tomb has closed over his or
her mundane career.-New York Trib-

THEIR LAST HANDCLASP.
The Final Meeting of Charles A. Dana
and Jacob Riis,

and Jacob Riis.
/ like to think of my last meeting
with Charles A. Dana, the "old chief"
as he was always called in the office.
In all the years l was on the Sun l
do not think ] had spoken with him
half dozen times. When he wanted
anything of me personally his orders
were very brief and to the point. 1t
was generally something-a report to
be diGested or the story of some social
eXperiment-which showed me that in
his neart he was faithful to his early
love. He had been in his youth, as
everybody knows. an enthusiastic re-
former, a member of the Brook Farm
/ community. But if he thought saw
he let no sign escape him. He hated
shams. Perhaps l was on trial all the
time. If so l believe that he meant
to tell me in that last handshake that
Le had not found me wanting. 1t was
on the stairs in the Sun office that
we met was going up; he was COM
ing down-gOing home to die. He
knew it. In me there was no suspicion
of the truth when | came upon him
at the turn of the stairs, stumbling
along in way very unlike the usual
springy step of the old chief. l hardly
knew him when he passed. but as he
turned and held out his hand l saw
| that it was Mr.. Dana, looking some
| how older than l had ever seen him
| and changed. | took off my hat, and
we shook hands
WELL" he said, "have you reformed
everything to suit you. Strengthened
| out every kink in town."
Pretty nearly" l said, falling into
his tone of banter. "all except the Sun
Office. That is left yet and as bad as
ever"
"Har' he laughed. you come on.
We are ready for you. Come right
| along" And with another hearty
| handshake he was gone He never
| saw the Sun Office again.
1t was the only time he had ever
held out his hand to me after that
| first meeting of ours when / was a
lonely lad, nearly thirty years before
| That time there was a dollar in it, and
! spurned it. This time | like to be-
lieve his heart was in it. And l took
it gladly and gratefully. Jacob A.

WOMEN EXCEL
AS SWIMMERS
Wonderful Access of Interest In
Water Sport During Recent
Years s-Feminine Champions
Who Have Made Records.

~ WINNING as an exercise for
A women has become generally
~ popular only within the last
few years. Ten years ago
there were few expert women swim
mers. Today there are hundreds of
them. and a grave scientist has taken
1t upon himself to announce that wo-
men make the best swimmers of all.
He says they have more endurance
than men because they do not feel
the shock of the cold water so intense
ly, their bodies having more fat than
mems do to protect them from cold.
This does not mean that women as a
class are fatter than men. Far from
it. The learned scientist means only
to say that the proportion of protec-
tive fat layers in woman's body are
more numerous than in a mans.
The popularity of swimming is
proved by the fact that a swimming
pool is part of the equipment of most
fashionable country places. One often
finds a swimming pool annexed to
some smart town houses.
One of the finest swimming pools in
the country is maintained by the fash
1onable Colony club, whose members
are New York society women. Wo-
mems clubs in other parts of the coun-
try have added the swimming bath to
their equipment.
Free swimming baths for the peo-
pie are to be found in every large city.
Some private schools are provided
with them, and a course in swimming
is part of the curriculum.
1t is therefore no wonder that every
now and then one hears of an intrepid
young woman saving some frail or I'M
fortunate male being from a watery
grave.
Miss Adeline Trapp, a pretty young
Brooklyn schoolteacher, recently amaz-
ed the public by two remarkable long
distance swims. One was made from
Yonkers down the Hudson river to the
foot of Forty-second street, a distance
of about seventeen miles.
The other swim was from North
beach to Robbins reef. near Livingston,

four of its best swimmers to go over
this distance with Miss Trapp, and all
of them had to be taken into boats

WILL TELL THE GERMANS
 ABOUT G|lA MONSTERS
R. L. Bake to Deliver Address Before
 German Scientific Society.

R. l.. Bake of the Big Curio store is the busiest man in Europe making rapid tour of the continent in order to gather up merchandise so that he may start back home early in Septem- Der sooner than he expected when he went away.
 A letter lately received from him states that he had completed tour of Austria and Bohemia and was about to get out on journey through the Trol, Switzerland and south Germany in quest of old pewter and brass.
 Later he would visit Idar a place famous for its factories engaged in the cutting of precious stones. MT. Bake took with him a lot of the semi-pre- cious stones of Arizona in the rough form to have them cut at Idar where his work in this line has been done for several years.
 But MT Balke's hardest task is be- fore him; it is the hardest because it is the most unusual. Two or three years ago at the request of a dealer of curios in Berlin he sent 25O Gila Monsters to him and they were dis tributed all over Europe. The peculiar ities of the monster were discussed learnedly by scientific men and it trans pires that interest in the subject has not died out.
 While he was stopping at Celle he received an invitation to address a scientific society at Berlin on the Gila Monster and he accepted the invitation, the address to be delivered shortly be- fore the departure of MT. Bake for home.
 Mir Bake has never pretended to an intimate technical familiarity with the peculiarities of the monster but doubt less the German savants believe that man who has handled so many of them ought to know something about them.

There is no other irrigation pro- ject in the United States that has such an assured water supply as the land here in the Salt River Valley. When I saw the water harnessed and brought from the mountains by such marvellous system as has been brought to perfection in this valley I am ready to say that my visit to this part of the country has given me the opportunity to see something I can never forget, and something l never want to forget. l believe the Salt River Valley has the great est irrigation system in the world"
 Senator Fred DumOnt smith, of Kansas, owner and editor of the Kansas Magazine. who arrived in Phoenix last Friday porning to spend four days in going over the valley, to gather material for series of ar ticles on irrigation returned to Phoe- nix yesterday after a trip tD the Roosevelt dam. He was accompan- jed by Barnett E. Marks, represent ing the board of trade and John J. Gould of the firm of Green x Griffin.
 When interviewed last night at the Ford hotel, Senator Smith expressed an enthusiastic admiration for the ir- rigation system of the Salt River Val ley. His opinion carried weight be- cause of his experience in practical irrigation. and the opportunity he has had through his wide travel to go over the most famous projects of the world.
 ITO my mind, there is only one other project that will compare with your project here." he said. ''The Assouan dam impounds more water, and represents a larger investment, but there is one feature about this ir- rigation system that removes 1t away beyond comparison with any thing I have ever before seen. That is the perfection of it. Instead of be- ginning a big thing and half finish ing it, the government has worked in one direction, and along one line, and evidently according to one single
