MAKING THE LAND WORK George Alkire believes in making the land work for its living. He has re- ported to the board of trade that 36 acres yielded white oats that baled 1504 tons and sold for BIO ton Beside this green feed on the pasture ! for the months of February and March amounted to $500 more. IT 1 this is not getting all there is in the 1 land MT Alltire would like to have someone show him.
 SUSPECT ARRESTED-The police picion of being the one who shot two men, and killed one at the corner of fThird and Washington streets few | weeks ago. J. A. Bruce through l whose shirt a bullet passed was un-
 able 10 positively identify the pris orer. but the police are on the trail and expect to make an early arrest | of the right man. Tn the meantime 1 Frank Rodriguez arrested by Captain | BrisbOiS for carrying gun was sen l tenced to ten days in the city jail i and to pay a fine of twenty dollars
 or undergo an additional imprisOn- ment of ten days. The police believe that this man is responsible for much Of the prOmiscuOus gun play which l has marked the records Of the de- 1 partment during the past few weeks. DR. BAER COMING-There will be n1 communion services in the First Presbyterian church on next Sunday morning as annOuced. The pastor of the church has heard with great pleasure that it will be possible for Dr. John Willis Baer. president of Occidental college. Los Angeles. to be with the church next Sabbath. and that the congregation may have the pleasure of hearing him. The com muniOn services have been postponed to date which will be announced at the morning service. Dr. Baer, is known to many people here. He was for q number years secretary of the Young Peoples Society or Chris tian Endeavor. and knew the young IpeOple all over the country. and since
 he has been president Of Occidental
 he has come to be a well known edu-
 catOr of the southwest. It will un- dOubtedly he peaSurable to him to
 meet as many young people as pos sible. Those will miss a treat who fail to hear him.
 WANT IMMIGRATION sOARO.- The board of trade is continuing it's fight for an immigration commission for Arizona. In this connection. the secretary has been gathering data from all the states that are so equipped. He has just finished cor trespOndence with Oklahoma and South Carolina officials hy which copies of
 the immigration laws of those states are to be sent here for inspection. It is interesting to note that several
 of the states are making strenuous
 efforts to further the work of their 1 commissions. New Mexico has ap- prOpri: ted $12,00O and the board will ask for $50,000 next year; Idaho, $50.000; Colorado $40000 Wyoming. $40, 900; and California, $200,000. The eastern states are waking to the i'm
 pOrtance of provision for incoming
 settlers and some of them have set
 aside amounts from ten to sixty
 thousand dollars to pay for the
 movement. J. C. Williams. former
 Arizonan and now a resident of New
 York City, writes advocating a branch office of the immigration board in the
 metropolis. This is a matter that has received the serious thought of the board of trade and in the event
 of the establishment of the cOmmis- sion, they will likely take steps to insure the formation of un office in the biggest port.
