Elephants Rocked the Boat.

A queer elephant yarn Is told by the
captain of II trading Steamboat In the
London Telegram. On one occasion he
had on bourd a cargo of forty ele
plants The vessel WAS anchored in II
perfectly smooth sea- off the coast of
Zanzibar but to the great surprise of
the passengers the steamer began to
roll.
AT first they supposed the motion to
be caused by the ground swell. but
when the motion kept increasing there
was general alarm. and the captain
started an investigation
Then it was revealed that the ele-
plants had in some way found that by
swaying to and fro all together rock
ing motion was produced that seemed
to please them immensely.
So the great heads and bodies rolled
and swung In unison until the steam
er, which hid no other cargo and rode
lightly, was in imminent danger of
rolling clean over. The attendants
hurried down into their hold and. aft
err u great deal of shouting and thtlmp-
ing, managed to stop the dangerous
amusement

FOR The CHILDREN
Isn't It AwfuI7

There is u little maiden
who has an awful time
She has to hurry awfully
To get to school at nine.
She has an awful teacher:
Her tasks are awful hard:
Her playmates are all awful rough
When playing In the yard.
She has an awful kitty,
Who often shows her claws;
A dog that jumps upon her dress
With awful muddy paws.
She has baby sister
With an awful little nose.
With awful cunning dimples
And such awful little toes
She has two little brothers.
And they are awful boys
With their awful drums and trumpets
And make an awful noise.
Do come. / pray thee. common sense!
Come and this maid defend.
Or else. | fear. her awful life
WIN have an awful end.

callfornla Lemon Crop.

California's lemon crop this year will be one of largest since the culture of that fruit was first in- ugurated in that state. At the present time the lemon growers of the state estimate minimum crop of 5000 carloads. Up to and including the last day of February, 1341 carloads had already been shipped this year and the remain der of the crop will be moved just as quickly as cars can be provided. The usual loss to the lemon crop each year on account of frosts, was very small in that state this season, and some of the growers predict as heavy a season as last year.
 Since the season of 1906.07, when 3507 carloads of California lemons were shipped east, the out put has grown steadily until but very few lemons now have to be imported by this country. During the last five years 26,20S carloads of lemons have been shipped out of California over the lines of the Southern Pacific. The average an- nual shipment is about 5241 car loads and the minimum estimate of this years shipment is said to have been placed quite low, es- pecially as last years business amounted to 6764 carloads; an- other reason being that the loss to the crop this year on account of frost will be very light.
 California can supply lemons to every part of the United States and will it not be necessary for the importation of one case of this fruit, is the way members of the California Citrus Fruit Growers Exchange express themselves re. garding the 1912.12 lemon crcp.

WILL BUlLD TO oUEMAoA.
Southern Pacific of Mexico Will Extend
 GuadaIsjsra End Toward TepIe.
(Guadalaiars Times.)

The Southern Pacific Railroad of Mexico has ordered the extension of it's Guadalajara division (Oren- dain to Magdslena) from Mazda lena to La Quemada, a distance of nine kilometers. Rodolfo Castafieda, a Tucson engineer, is here to make the necessary surveys. Rights of way for the extension are being ar. ranged. It is expected to have the line completed and in operation before the opening of the next rainy season.
 The extension of the Southern Pacific line to La Quemada will be of benefit to the mining interests of the Hostotipaquillo district of Jalisco, reducing the distance and giving them a better shipping station. Some time ago w. c. Brown, president of the New York Central railway, who is interested in the Makeever mining enterprises in the Hostotipaquillo district. wrote Judge Lovett, head of the Southern Pacific interests, asking that the extension to La Quemada be built. The order for its construction at this time is largely due to his efforts.
 La Quemada is but short dis tance from the entrance to the bar rancas of the Sierra Madre, which the Southern Pacific will cross in completing ifs West Coast exten- sion between Topic and Guadala- jara. Before the Guadalajara division construction work was stopped the roadbed was graded and rails laid for distance of five kilOmeters beyond Magdalena. New construction, therefore, will be confined to four kilometers. Such work as is necessary to place the

five kilometers previously built in first class condition will be done.
 E. K. Cooper and the other en. gineers of the party engaged in making the preliminary surveys for the proposed Southern Pacific line between Guadalajara and Mexico City have returned to the States. They abandoned the sur veys because of disturbed con- ditions in the state of Michoacan, and later were called to Tucson.

v|G|LANT WORK OF
THE CITY POLICE
Smothers and Caldwell Held to
Federal Court Charged With
White Slavery

Two of the men taken in tho raid
at the Blair hotel last week when six
men and as many women were arrest
ed, are now in the county Jail with
serious charges hanging over their
heads and will have to answer in the
federal court to the crime of white
slavery. Their names are Ralph
Smothers and Roy Caldwell, and their
Incarceration is due to the vigilant
work of the city police who some time
ago undertook the work of Kidding the
city of all characters suspected OF liv-
ing off the earnings of fallen women.
1t is understood that Smothers is
married to the woman with whom he
was found, the latter acknowledges
that she has been an inmate of the
Blair house. Caldwell Is stated to
have taken the woman with whom he
was found, back to his old home in
Illinois, where he introduced her to
relatives and friends as his wife. He
later bought tickets to Boise where
1t is stated she was an inmate of a re-
sort for some time. Coming on to
North Yakima she later Joined Cald-
we'll with the result above stated. The
officers believe they have a strong case
against the two men.

STATE MILITIA CALLED
TO SUPPRESS RIOTS
Strike in the Massachusetts Mill
Districts Puts 10000 Out
of Employment

LAWRENCE, Mass, Jan. 15.---
Eight companies of state militia, in
Guiding one field battery, placed the
mill districts in this city under mar
tial law tonight after a day of riot
ing due to the strike of $1,000 opera
tives in the cotton and wooden mills
At least $4,000 other hands were
thrown out of work by the stopping
Of the machinery and the attacks on
the mills by strikers.
In one instance a company of mill
tia had to charge the mob with fixed
bayonets, one boy being probably ia
tally hurt Thirty-fve arrests of
armed rioters were made during the
day and a few strikers and mill en-
ployes were treated for bullet wounds.
A majority Of the mills is expected to
reopen in the morning and the militia
men have been instructed to use dras-
tic measures to prevent a repetition
Of today's outbreak.
'1ven If the mills open it Is expected
they can run only with reduced force
as the strikers have trebled their force
since Friday. At a special session of
the court tonight 81 rioters were found
guilty and three were sentenced to
two years in the house of correction n,
and others were given one year sem
fences. The mayor has ordered all sa-
looms to remain closed tomorrow.
