London. May 1.-The first of the English turf classics of the. present season, the two thousand guineas, was won by Sweeper II. today.
 J. A. Jaegar was second and Hall- cross third. There were only II start CTS, many of the leading stables hav- ing been unable to get their mounts in shape. This was so of the Keene. Whitney and King "eligibles."
 Danny Maher, the American jockey, rode the winner against which 6 to was offered in the betting. The fav- orite. White Star, ran bad race and finished 4th. The betting against Jaegar who finished second, was 100 to 1, while there was plenty of g to l offered against Hallcross' chances. Sweeper II was made favorite for the Derby in the future books immediate ly after his win as his victory was one of the most impressive ever shown by a Guineas winner.

Boston, May Latest returns this afternoon from $50 of the 353 cities and towns throughout the State show that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and Presi- dent william Howard Taft will go to the Republican national convention at Chicago with IS delegates each from the Bay State. These figures, while not official, are openly admitted by Matthew Hale. Roosevelt manager. and General Champlin. Taft manager.
 Up until 1880 o'clock this afternoon the Roosevelt-Taft battle was in doubt. it having been at one time con- ceded st Taft hea adQuarters that Roose- welt had fought the President to a trict and split the two delegates from the Sth.

 Boston gave Taft 11,281, Roosevelt 1o.671. LaFoIette 249. Clark's Boston vote was 14,300. and Wilson's 5.s79.

Jacksonville, Fla, May With the returns from the interior and south ern part of the state coming in slow ly, it was apparent on their face, to- day. that the Democratic delegates to the Baltimore convention will cast their votes for Oscar Underwood at least on the initial ballots. In the cities Underwood defeated Governor Woodrow Wilson more than three to one while in the towns he ran ahead although not in so large a ratio. The ballot was complicated and the count very slow.

 President Taft secured the majority will withdraw from the contest ir that state so far as the delegates at-large are concerned. This will give Roosevelt only 10 of the Massachu- setts delegates.

 Taft leaders attribute Roosevelt's sweep of the delegates-at-large to mixup which caused more than 300 bal lots to be thrown out in one town Frank Seiberlich, who had a difference with General Champlin, of Taft head quarters, ran as an independent Taft delegate at-large. He refused to with draw. His name led the eight names of the regular candidates for Taft elegates-at-large on the ballots.

 Casa Grande News: The cotton fields at tbs Sacation experimental farm are now filled with pickers harvesting the second picking. As has been stated it is estimated that the yield will be over six hundred pounds of lint to the acre. Much care has to be taken in the gather ing on account of the extra long staple; it must be kept entirely free from all trash and can not be ginned in the ordinary gin owing to its delicate fibre As yet the contract for the sale of this years crop has not been let.
 Graham Guardian: A special meeting of the Chamber of Com. merce on Wednesday night assured the success of the new Sanitarium to be erected two miles south of Stafford, near the famous hot wells. Enthusiastic business men from all parts of the valley were in at- tendance and each one expressed himself as favoring the scheme and and putting it through. A little over $20,000 have already been subscribed, an amount sufficient to warrant the statement, that the sanitarium will be built.

 Arizona Republican; There was crowded session of the board of supervisors yesterday in the hear ing of arguments for and against the establishment of a drainage district south of town, in which it is proposed to include about 19,000 acres. Some of the land owners within that area offered various objections to the establishment of the district. Some of them did not believe that they would be especially benefited by it while others believed that the disposition of the water carried by the drain age ditch would be provocative of litigation. The board took the petition under advisement.

has not been brought beyond the rough model stage. A company for it's manufacture and sale has been formed.

A good deal of stock was sold about Blsbee and Tombstone.
 Arizona Republican: As an evidence of the increased produc- tion of the orange industry Tn this valley, is the fact that Phoenix this year will have two fully-equipped packing houses to handle the un- usually fine crop now maturing. In addition to the packing house of the association, the Walter Hill company are now erecting and equipping in the East End, a thoroughly modern and up.to-date establishment, with a capacity of three car loads daily. The sizer is recent invention of Geo. D. Parker, of Riverside, Cal, and handles the fruit as carefully as one would handle an egg, elim- mating all possibility of bruising. Packing will begin about Novem Der 25th. The Walter Hill Company will pack about fifty cars of oranges, grape fruit, tangerines and lemons.
 Arizona Democrat: Proving themselves pikers at the very last minute, as they did last year, the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce called off the excursion that was to be run to Phoenix and other points during Fair week. Ap. parently feeling that the five or six odd millions of dollars annually dumped into Southern California by the people of Arizona is not worth noticing, and, unlike the El Paso boosters, not wishing to show any evidence of good fellowship, the Los Angeles and San Diego people called off their excursion evidently because it cost too much money" Last year the people of Arizona were informed in yard wide posters that the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce would run a special train through Arizona, but at the very last moment it was called of. This year exactly the same procedure was carried out. Apparently the Southern California people fear that the few paltry dol lars they would leave in Arizona as result of the excursion would bankrupt their part of the state.

HOW HAIL is FORMED

Limiting the observations to such
compound hailstones as are the most

a tornado or violent thunder storm.
the following theory has been adj
vanced as to how they are formed.
When the winds gyrate rapidly
round an axis, more or less inclined to
the earth, the space at and about the
axis is rarefied. When air charged
with yapor is drawn into this rarefied
snace it may be condensed into cloud

MEMORIAL TO APPLE TREE

Probably the Baldwin apple is the
best known variety in existence. For
over century it has been widely
eaten and in spite of the fact that
scores of other sorts have come into
the market to dispute it's popularity,
1t Is still the favorite among great
many growers and consumers.
There has long been dispute about
the discovery of the original tree and
the controversy has not yet been set
tied to the satisfaction OF all con-
cerned. The fact seems to be, how
ever, that certain Williams Buffers.
living in the town OF Wilmington,
Mass, about fourteen miles north OF
Boston. found prolific tree growing
in the woods and transplanted 1t to
his farm. That was long before the
Revolutionary war. Years afterward
Samuel Thompson, revolutionary
veteran, came across the tree while on
a surveying expedition. At that time
1t had been made the home of family
pecked row of holes around it. For
liaI reason Colonel thompson often
referred to it as the pecker tree He
carried some of the fruit home, and
the members Of his family were SO
pleased with the apples that he visited
the tree again and cut number OF
scions, which were grated onto trees
in his orchard. When these trees be-
gan to bear fruit, some OF the apples
were given to COL Loammi Baldwin, a
neighbor, who was so much impressed
with the quality and flavor that he cut
many scions from the old tree and be-
gan propagating new stock on large
scale. This stock was spread broad
cast in Massachusetts, and as COM
pliment to Colonel Baldwin his friends
gave his name to this apple.
The Buffers farm house still stands
and depression in the ground not far
