Arizona republican., 1912-09-16

The Prince of Wales when he goes to Oxford University in October will occupy the quarters in the tower of Magdalen College, which were reserv- ed for the son of Henry VII in the fifteenth century, the last time a Prince of Wales attended Magdalen College.
 The precedent set by his grand father, King Edward, will thus not be followed.
 The latter when attending Christ Church lived, not in the college. but at Frewen Hall beside the Union
 The young prince will thus get more of the undergraduate life than his grandfather did, but the proposal to have him take part in the college games has been rejected probably on the grounds that such participation would be altogether too democratic for the future ruler of the British empire

 The chase after the American ele- phant pOacher Rogers in the La b Enclave in Central Africa has brought into prominence the quiet work which is being done there to prevent trn ex- tinction of the biggest living land ami mai.
 Something like 12,0OO elephants bearing ivory valued at $2,500. OU0 were killed by hunters and poachers during 1908 and 1909
 For many years the ivory supplied by natives from elephants which had l long been dead supplied the demand, but this supply was soon practically exhausted, and the hunt which began for ivory would have rendered the elephant extinct, had it not been for energetic action by the government No one may now shoot an elephant in certain restricted districts, nor a cow with calf anywhere. For bull elephant shooting the number is re- stricted to two a year. and a heavy l license is required
 The licensed hunter may not kill an animal bearing less than forty | pounds of ivory, but the poacher | chooses anything with tusks. The l COW tusks make the best billiard balls, and even the immature bulls do not escape the illicit hunter.
 In spite of all these restrictions a large number of elephants is still killed in out of the way places In 1907 it became known that the Lado l Enclave sWarmed with elephants and for the sake of the large gains poachers willing to risk the serious punishment Hooked there, and James Wood Rogers, of Plainville, Michigan was one of these. He and his two English companions with an armed native force of 100 caused immense slaughter among the herds. A warrant issued in 1850 by John Bradshaw, president of the court which passed the death penalty on King Charles l., was recently found hidden behind an old painting in the South African public library at Cape Town. The librarian was removing the picture from it's frame when the old parchment dropped out It had been placed between the boarding and the back of the picture

Recognition Desired.

Glen Ullin.-A big county division
meeting and barbecue was held here
Saturday, and 1,500 persons from all
sections Of Morton county attended.
Speakers from all parts of the state
were present.
County division is the paramount
issue in Morton county, and will have
an important bearing upon the politi,
cal situation. Two principal plans
will be submitted to the voters. One
calls for division Of the county into
four parts, northeast, southeast, north
west and southwest The county seats
would be Mandan, Flasher, Glen Ul-
lin and Elgin. respectively. The Sec
ond plan would split Morton county
into three sections, one to consist Of
that part extending across the north
9ern end Of the present county, four
townships wide, the remainder Of the
territory on the south to be equal
" divided north and south. Under
this plan the proposed county seats
would be Mandan. Flasher and Elgin.
The fight between the exponents Of
the two plans will be a bitter one, and
candidates for county ONCE are being
forced to declare themselves on this
issue. .,s

Devils Lake.-John Bartly. a pros.
porous farmer of Lawton, Ramsey
county, whose section farm has made
him independent, believes in advertis-
ing. While in the years he has been
tillfng the soil he has had but little
contact with printers ink, his one ex.
perience has satisfied him that a little
want ad inserted in Minnesota news
paper. was the turning point of his
life.
At the Sevilla hotel, Devils Lake, a
romance written in several months
correspondence, and which was start
ed by the little want ad., resulted in
the marriage Of John Bartly to Miss
Margery Davis of Mcintosh, MINI.
Mrs. G. E. Davis, of Mcintosh, grand
mother Of the bride, played an impor-
tant part in the romance. In fact It
was she who answered the want ad.,
opening the first correspondence with
the prospective bridegroom, in behalf
OF her granddaughter. Mrs. Davis
was so pleased with the whole affair,
that she accompanied the young wom-
an to Lakota. N. D., where they met
Mr.. BARLEY this week.
The problem Of how they would
know each other, when they met in
the little village. was solved by the
agreement to each wear bouquet of
flowers.

it a winter apple may be month in reach
ing its ruddineSs, peach may take only one
week to flush into its mantle of maturity;
but the most nimble work of the solar ray in
its decoration of fruit and flower is not to be
compared with what it accompliSheS in other
departments. When its power was brought
to bear upon some familiar chemicals, it was
found that its action was reduced from days
to seconds.
Upon this discovery turn all the wonders
of photography. At first silver nitrate-or
lunar caustic, as it was commonly called
was used in the camera. From time TO time
other substances of greater and greater Sensi-
tivenesS to light have been produced, every
one of them successfully giving the solar
beam a wider play and more astonishing
power
Today, with the exposure of a photo

of exploded rock and the sinuous CLINT of
