counter balance numerous solos and duets. wherein the chorus is kept in the background.
 Not so however with The Sweet least dozen eloborately staged songs, to say nothing of a sufficient quota of clever individual hits in the way of vocal effort. First and fore- most perhaps is Miss Friganza's Don't Forget The Number which is being whistled from coast to coast During her inimitable rendi- tion of this song, the lights suddenly go out for second and when they are switched on again the audience sees full sized representation of a street car occupying the centre of the stage, from the windows of which pretty numbers of the chorus wave to the spectators.
 ''Mary's Lamb" is another delight ful number. In which lambs frisk gladsomely lon the green tended by nimhle footed shepherds. During this number appear the ponies that always create so much favorable comment. The entire staging of this number seems like a page lifted bodi- Iy from the childhood d-beloved Mother Goose,' and sends the spec tators." mind sitting irresistibly backward through the years to a.is or her own happy childhood when gambols such as seen on the stage were the gayest delight of existence.

Above the Clouds

Mrs. l.. A. Evans, a trained nurse formerly connected with the local hospital, is visiting here in company with Misses Buford and Sullivan, all of Phoenix.
 A party composed of the ladies and Messrs. Smith and Green of the forest service and Dr. c. D. Jeffries, went on horseback to the top of Bill Williams mountain Tuesday, leaving here about 2 o'clock and returning at S. The party passed through the low lying clouds about the venerable knob of majestic MT. B. Williams, and lost sight of the city entirely. The fact that they couldn't see anything from that height (and the effects of the alti- tude) brought out the remark from Dr. Jeffries that they were "above see leyel."
 Word is received here that Henry Hill, formerly of this place and now living near Gila Bend, Ariz., was last Saturday thrown from a wagon, kicked in the face by a horse and seriously injured.
 Boulin & Thompson leave Sun day for Cedar Glade, where they have taken contract to construct a building for the government. MT. Boulin will return to Williams on Wednesday to carry on the work here.
 Bobby Burns took his auto to Flagstaff Tuesday and was joined there by three other cars, to take a party of eighteen to the Canyon. He reports the Flagstaff Canyon road in fine shape, and the road from Williams to Flagstaff rotten.
 The thunderstorms of the past week have made life burden to Manager Melick of the telephone company. The things he thought following a particularly brilliant electrical display made the air look like snapshot of Hades at firing-up time.
 Dr. Northrup, of the optical firm of Swigert Brothers, was here on Wednesday and Thursday. This was the doctors first visit to the heaven high city, and he declared the trip god-send in the way of relief from the southern cities he has visited. It's the contrast that counts.

"There remains, of course. much to be learned by the farmers in this connection yet. But enough al- ready has been done to show that with intelligent effort this section can produce the crops adapted to it, just as other sections, differently located, produce theirs. This is an age more of brain work than brawn. For instance, in Michigan, they do not attempt early peaches, any more than in Texas they try to compete with Michigan in the rais, ing of cranberries."
 This is the soundest sort of sense, and when this view is fully adopted and the methods suggested given a fair trial, it is certain the slur oi sterility of our soil will be removed.
 In this connection one of the sur est and most accurate sources oi expert information may be obtained from the department of agriculture at Washington. At an expense that would be impossible of under taking by individuals, the govern ment has made extensive experi- ments with soils and of crops best adapted to their peculiarities, and these results are free for the writing. In fact, the people in the Pecos val ley in New Mexico were the benef- ciaries of governmental experiments of this sort to the extent of millions of dollars, through the showing made by government experts, at government expense, at the request of citizens of that section.

 Owners.

Do you know that you can have an artesian we'll drilled which will furnish sufficient water for irriga- ting from 300 to 800 acres of land at very small cost per acre, by combining with your neighbors and each owner standing his pro- portion of the expense? If you de sire to get such a well drilled at actual cost, combine and purchase five shares of stock at $100.OO per share in the Arizona and Texas Improvement Go. and you can save 100 per cent on the cost of one deep we'll. A combination well Is now being drilled on Section 19 for the irrigation of over 400 acres. Those adjoining this land would do |well to organize and contract for a similar we'll while the drill is upon the ground.

Tired Tourists Recuperate Here

A roundup of undesirables Tues day afternoon and night resulted in three whites and six blacks tried on a charge of vagrancY in Justice Rounseville's court Wednesday af-. ternoon.
 Five of the negroes were success ful in their efforts to convince the justice that they had means of sup port visible to the naked eye and without the use of artificial ocular assistance. William Robinson, an. other negro, was firm in his assur- ances that he was the owner of a prosperous restaurant at Ash Fork, on the revenue of which he lived here, there and nearly everywhere else. On account of leaks in his gas bag, due to too high hot-air pressure, however, his balloon wouldn't soar, and he drew ten days from the grab bag of the mills of justice.
 The Caucasian contingent went the way of the weary, each draw ing ten days. Jetty Henry, bar tender, will contemplate several bars for the time; Victor Neal, switchman in ye olden time, was shunted off on the rip-track; Tom Noah, tailor, was stitched up for a ten-day stretch in the stir. Others are daily falling victims to the wiles of Officers Patterson and Postle, and the company in the local lookup will be goodly one before the finish.
 The suggestion is not amiss, at this time, to take step- to utilize the service of city wards such as these on the streets. Doubtless most of them would welcome the change from the close confinement of the booby-hatch.

FAMOUS DRIVER DEAD
NIyron L. SIcHenry, Who PiIoted Many
Trotters, Gone.

Geneseo, Ill, Oct. 31-Myron Z.
McHenry, for thirty years one of the
best reinsmen of the trotting turf, is
dead here. Death was due to an i'm
poverished condition of the blood.
In the thirty years he was associ-
ated with trotting over the different
circuits there were only two drivers
who might have been considered the
equals of McHenry-Dan Mace and
Thomas W. Murphy.
A quarter of a century ago the turf
first began talking Of McHenry. Pre-
vious to this time he had driven a
number of medium trotters in the mid
die west and had won his share of
races. He drove and won his first
race of Importance at Galva, ILL.,, and
the event was not conducted on q reg
ular track, the course being four times
around the public square. From that
day McHenry thought of nothing but
horses and as soon as he had the
chance to perform professionally he
made good" in a hurry.

TURNS DOWN A CLAIM.
Auditor Davis Says Logan County Can't
Collect Money.

State Auditor ". z. Davis wrote to-
day to the county clerk of Logan
county to tell him that the county's
claim against the state on compromise
tax settlements in the sum of s.. 500
would not be allowed. A special bill
passed by the last legislature gave the
counties with short tax settlements in
the way of compromise settlements on
their hands until the last of this year
to make their claims to the state. But
the auditor recognizes only that law
that requires of each county the state
tax in full. He considers that county
commissioners have no right to COM
promise on state tax IF that is done
the county must make up the differ
ence.
IF county commissioners were al
lowed to compromise state taxes said
Mr. Davis today. they might turn in
two million for three millions Of taxes,
then the state board of equalization
would be at sea on its levy. / do not
believe the law contenplates giving
the county commissioners any powers
in regard to the state tax levy. They
