community for the first chance with
him to sell, consequently the price has
rope down and the market is decidedly
bad.
That the buyers combined and

several crops before the other buyers

THIS IS TOO MUCH
Fifteen Year Old Boys Arrested for Alleged Flirting With High
 School Girls.

Two boys fifteen years of age were arraigned before Judge High yester- day afternoon at o'clock on the charge of violating the territorial stat ute which makes it a misdemeanOr to disturb the sessions of a public school says the Bisbee Review. The com plaint was sworn to by NJ L. Rig gelman. janitor of the Central school. and it is alleged that the boys had been playing and making noises around the Central school building during school hours. After hearing the evidence in the case, the court placed both boys under suspended sentences, with a warning that if the offense was repeated they would be summarily haled into court and the sentence enforced.
 It was charged that the younger of the two flirted with the girls in the school room by waving his handker- chief, and that he had made fun of the boys that were going to school This sort of conduct on the part of young boys who do not go to school has been the cause of considerable an- noyance this year and last year. and the school board has issued strict in- structons that it must be stopped The territorial law was drawn to cor rect this evil, and the board is de- termined that it shall be invoked in this school district

.DR. AND MRS. WHILE
 BACK FROM EUROPE
Divided Their Time Between Sight seeing and Professional
 Study.

Doctor and Mrs. Win Wylie return cd yesterday morning from a tour of Europe covering four months, under taken both as a honeymoon trip and for deeper research in the sciences of which both are devoted students
 Dr. Wylie, who is one of the lead ing surgeons of the city improved his opportunities for attending the lectures of many men in the old world capitals, eminent as authorities in medicine and surgery. Returning to this country he took short post graduate courses in both New York and Chicago. Mrs. Wylie was no less interested, for previous to their mar riage she was in charge of the train ing school and surgical work in the Sisters hospital in this city and was therefore quite at home in the at mosphere of the lecture and operating rooms.
 Their tour included England, France, Germany, Austria and Italy and they made it a point to see as many of the wonders and beauties of those older countries as could be done by the economical use of their time and energy.

It is one of many scientific lines of investigation car ried on by the government, the bene- fits of which are made public from time to time through the issuance of bulletins. A report of the biolog- ical survey of New Mexico it is expected will be issued this winter
 The object of the biological sur vey is to determine the distribution of plant, mammal and bird life in the area under observation and its accurate mapping into animal and crop or climatic zones. That is to say the survey discovers what plants and animals and birds thrive in a particular section, both the native species and those cultivated, and the careful mapping of these areas so it can better be determined what plants and animals not grown, may be rais- ed to advantage therein. It also notes the relationship Of the native plants, animals and birds to the crops grown, if harmful. in what way and if beneficial why and how they are SO This enables study of methods for the extermination Of undesirable life, or plant and animal pests. the encouragement of the desirable spe- cies etc. as well as giving the pros pective settler that much added in- formation concerning the section he is interested in.
 Ir the prosecution Of this work investigation is made by field par ties who gather their information personally and direct by a study of the conditions and by making collec- tions of specimens of the plant and animal life. which collections are kept in the department museums for use and reference and study.

He left this season at an earlier date than usual on account of the serious illness of Mrs. Blanchard, whose death some time ago, cast a sadness oyer an oth- erwise delightful summer season.
 The summer was spent in the usual diversions in one of the most attrac- tive parts of Washington, such as bathing, boating and fishing ani in the enjoyment of the many luscious fruits of that section. He remained in the north longer than usual for the req son given but returning spent some time in Los Angeles and other cities.
 During his absence MT. Greene kept in close touch with his Phoenix busi- ness and reports of unprecedented summer transactions here have kept his mind free from office worries. There has been great expansion in all lines of the firms activity ana he is moved to believe more strongly than ever in a greater Phoenix and more rapid growth than has yet been seen.
