Houses Burglarized d

During the last week or so a number of residences in our city have been burglarized in various sections, the culpr1ts getting but very little for their risks and trouble in each instance, except ing Tuesday afternoon when en. tering the home of Mir. and Mrs F. F. Flickenger, going into the house in broad daylight while Mrs. Flickenger was entertain ing a few friends in the front room. 7.
 It seems that the burglars did very quick work, taking less than9 ! half an hour III getting two valu- able gold watches, stick pins and { other valuable jewelry.
 In the last two weeks there have been reports from various residents in the town in regard burglers and 1t seems now that there are but two, and well versed in the business at that
 The Officers have been busy for the last two weeks trying to To- cate some of the missing articles and in that way getting their men but up to date have failed. ~
 The Winslow School Board, District No. 1) as per bids re- gently advertised let the contract for the High School building to be erected in Winslow, Tuesday afternoon, a majority of the Board being present. The build ing is to be completed by Aug ust the first and the contractors are under bond to pay five dol lars a day for every day after that day if they fail to complete the work. Contractors Ward & McClimans were awarded the contract. their bid being the low est, $11,9OO. Other bids were handed in by Mir. Rockman of Prescott for $14,sss, Norbit Heymer of this city for $12,925 and Mir. McCarty for $12.77S. : The plumbing firm of Mover & , Sampson put in their bid with that of Ward & McClimans and will install all the plumbing and heating apparatus.
 In the past two weeks there have been numer ous hunters who went from our city to the big reservoir at St. Joe after ducks. There have also been numerous stories told about the different hunters, but the best yet that our attention has been called to has been the one about Mir. Fred Hansen, which was de clared true story at that.
 1t is said that Mir. Hansen lett here the last week in company with d few other hunters iu quest of duck, for St. Joe. They say that he, in his early days was a sailor, crossing every sea on the continent, and decided that the one way to get ducks was to get out in a row boat. Everything went along fine un- til he got well out in the lake when the boat commenced danc- ing and tossing around and they say that Mir. Hansen was one of the most sea-sick person they eyer saw. Needless to say that Mir. Hansen didn't get any ducks on that trip.

SHALL THE UNIVER- STY OF ARIZONA BE
 DISMEMBERED?

Within the last month or so many of the newspapers of the State have had numerous articles i'll theIr columns regarding the seperation of the agricultural college from the University of Arizona at Tucson, where it has heen located for years and doing very creditable work. i. IL seems that the people of l Phoenix and Tempe are the ones most interested to have the same dismembered and it is their intention to establish the Agri- cultural school somewhere in the Salt River Valley in the vici nifty of Tempe,
 It seems from the informa ton that we have from the people who know what they are talk ing about regarding this matter, and from the information that we have on the same subject, that 1t would be a needless eX- pense; not only that, but in place of having one good University, such as we have now at Tucson, which ranks high among its class with Universities ofolder States, we would have two, but inferior ones in many respects and by no means satisfactory.
 It is question which the next Legislature will have to settle and hope that these men will take the proper view of the mat ter and leave the same at Its present location at Tucson. At least we hope that the two gentle men of Navajo county will do all in their power in that respect.
 In a booklet recently published by the University of Tucson we have an illustration of the dupli- cated studies that would be ne cessary for two seperate institu- tions, namely a University and Agricultural Course, necessitat- ing an extra corps of high sala- ried instructors and lots of need less expense to the State and at that, as aforesaid said, with not ..| near as good results as we are obtaining at the present Univer- siiy at Tucsoii.
 Mir. A. NJ. McOmie, one of the instructors at the University was visitor in Winslow this week on his way to various towns Ill Navajo county where ] he will give lectures on agricul. 4 ture in the different towns from T the various experiments at the \ College, which given direct and autentic, is a great deal of help } to various sections and farming communities in our state.
 T Aside from that, the state is and has been establishing expe- riment stations along these lines in various sections of the state which are maintained at the ex- pense of the state, knowing that no agricultural college located in any one particular section in our state could take the place of these experiment. stations as the climate and conditions are so different, consequently these stations in various sections un- der the supervision ot the Tue son University in order to obtain the best results for the particu- lar localities.
 At present there are stations ot that kind at Prescott, Yuma, Sulphur Springs and Snowflake, and in a short time there will be another located at Flagstaff. The largest of these stations is located near Phoenix and Tenn pc. So we see no good reason why the state should go to extra expense ill locating the Agricul tural college there, dismember- ing the University at Tucson and making two inferior insti- | +,,@;ooc

When pursued the kangaroo, If pos

himself on his two hind legs and his

With his fore paws he seizes by the
head the first dog that approaches him,
and. as he is more solidly balanced
than his assaiant. he holds the dogs
nose under water as long as he can.
Unless a second dog speedily comes to
the rescue the first one is sure to be
drowned. If companion arrives and
