PHEASANT WEATHER.

Following what seems to have been
two. of the worst days Of the winter,
to.day's bright sunshine, and the at
tendant warmth makes it"almost I'm
possible for one TO believe that yes
terdayt was a day Of bowling icy
breezes, sleet and! hall.
The sun rose at an early hour this
morning, and continues to pour Its
radience over the city, and already
there are large numbers Of people
upon the streets, drawn by the spring
weather.
The streets of the city were wash
ed some few days ago, and the sun to-
day had dried them of so that they
are almost in perfect condition, aud

sure thing, as all business men know,
and the ad appearing in this paper
yesterday reading as follows: "The
person who took an electric motor
from the Newcomer Garage Is known,
and can avoid prosecution BY return
ina the motor at once" this morning
brought results.
Last evening after the usual work
hours the garage was closed and lock-
ed up, and this morning, when Harry
l.. Newcomer, who is Manager OF the
Garage, went to his place Of business
he found a sack in front Of the door,
and upon opening tie sack found his
motor. The article had been taken, 1t
is supposed, some three weeks ago
and was only missed when the me-
chanics Of the garage went to work
10 install the machinery, then dis
covering that the motor was missing
with the result that the Newcomer
boys placed the above ad in the col
umns Of this paper.
The motor, when new, vas valued
at over 500, and the return of the
same means quite a lot financially The
person who took the motor away from
the garage evidently reads the papers
and believing that he was under sus'
.piclon, returned the motor to, as the
ad says, avoid prosecution"
And there is a moral to the story
the same one which is given at the
top. 1t is the old adage, which Is
daily proven a truth, that ut pays to

BANK
 PRESCOTT PLAN
Scheme Will Be Explain ed to Bankers Who Are Invited to
 Meeting
FREDERICKS FOR IT

PRESCOTT, Ariz., March 23.-A movement has been started here, headed by K. \. Fredericks. presi- dent of the Prescott National Bank, for the organization of an Arizona central bank, the stock of the insti- tuition to be held principally by the hanks and trust companies of the new state.
 Letters are now 1eing sent out by the promoters of the idea to the var ious banks of the state, asking the opinion of the officials in the matter. and fl they would lend their assist ance in the organization Of the bank. Those in sympathy with the move ment are requested tO meet in con ference with other bankers of the state in Phoenix on Sunday, March 2i, at the Adams hotel. The matter will then be fully discussed, with the view of organizing a central reserve insti tuition that will reflect credit upon the new state. and materially add in it's development.
 it is not the intention of the pro motors of the movement to interfere with the business 'Jf the local banks, but to create a strong central bank and trust company, with an authorized capital of s1,OOO,OO0, and d paid-iu capital o( S5OO.0OO The bank is to be located at the state capital, and the majority Of its stock is to be held by Arizona banks and bankers
 The central bank will be created with the idea Of securing portion Of the reserve money Of the local banks, and thereby enabling the cen tral bank tO assist financial institu- tions in all parts of the state, by re discounting commercial paper. and making such large loans to others as the smaller hanks are unable 10 grant, but would gladly see done iD order 70 facilitate trade and com merce in the various sections of the state.
 lt Is said that the majority Of the bankers arc heartily in favor Oi the plan, and a large number have sig nificl their willingness to attend the meeting.
 R. x. Fredericks, the principal pro mOter of the idea, is one of the best known bankers of the state, and has been identified with the Prescott Ma tional Bank ever since it's organiza- ton in 1893. He succeeded F. M. Murphy as president when he retired. and was the cashier when Murphy held the presidency.

WILT PROOF
 MELON VINES
Variety Is Found That May Prove Bonanza for Sulphur Springs
 Valley Men
EXPERIENCE OF PAST

DOUGLAS. March 23.-What will probatly result in the establishment of a new industry in the Sulphur Springs valley is tEc discovery of l new variety of watefmelons which IS said to De immune from a disease known as watermelon wilt" and very prevalent throughout the valley.
 When State Etomoligist 4. W. Mer. .ill visited the valley last fall the farmers who have been raising melons called his attention tC the disease and he was asked for a remedy. He took up the matter with the United State department of agriculture and word was received here by the chamber Of commerce from him that ihe depar:- ment had developed new special IT. South Carolina that they suppose is immune against the disease.
 The farmers Of the valley planted large tracts in watermelons last year which proved 10 be very successful from the beginning but as the melons were nearly ripe they were affected by the wit and the vines ant leaves began to die while the melons rotted away before ripening A hun dred acres or more were spoiled il this manner and the farmers became disgusted with the raising Of melons Etomologist Merrill has now come 10 their assistance win the new variety which if found to be as represented will result in the raising of melons on an extensive scale as the soil an1 climate are particularly adapted to them.
 He secured a limited amount c. seed from the department of agricu!- ture and has distributed them among the various farmers to be planted this spring and an accurate record IS to be kept Of the result and fog warded to him at the end Of the season.
 The new variety of watermelon has been named the "Conqueror" and was developed in South Carolina through crossing the citrOn or stock melon with the Eden. The result is melon very similar to the Eden in external appearances, edibility and shjpping qualities. out almost entirely resistant to the wilt disease. The melon has been tested to a limited eX- tent in various sections Of the United States where the ''wilt' disease was prevalent with somewhat varying re- snlts but offered enough encoura ment to continu heet
 ment to continue the experiments and it is belIeved by the authorities Of tho deIartnent that the melons are par ticuIarly adapted for this section Of Inc country.
