FORT GRANTS
 HALF AR|z0NA'S
Bill Transferring to the State the Military Reser- vation Outside the Forest Reserve Passes the Sen ate

A telegram received yesterday at lows:
 Washington. D. C., July ,. 1912. Gov. George w. P Hunt. PhOorix, Ariz
 paSse through the senate today the bill granting to the state of Arizona the Fort Grant military reservation with all improvements thereon for the pur- pose of an industrial school. except that portion covered by the forest reserve. MARK A. SMITH A letter also has been received from Mir. Smiths secretary to the effect that the bill will be warmly supported in 1 the house by Representative Hayden
 and that there is little doubt it will 1 pass that body and be signed by the I president.
 It is possible the enactment of this l bill into law may settle the industrial i school ofiestion. When the fight was on {! in the legislature several members eX- i pressed their preference for the Fort l Grant site; but it was opposed by oth- l CTS on the ground that it would take | property. if it ever could be secured at
 all Then came the deadlock between l the house and the senate accentuated l and aggravated by the action of the l COchise county members in the house | who are determined to resist at all haz- ards the removal of the school from l that county.
 1 The last act of the senate with ref
 erence to the industrial school proposi-
 tion was to pass a bill tentatively se- | lecting the Gulf ranch but in reality 1 leaving the matter in the hands of the | board of control. This bill was killed by 1 the house partly because it was a sen
 ate bill and partly because it recog- nized the board of control
 | In the meantime Governor Hunt l warned :he legislature that something must be done. A member of the house declared it was the intention of the l chief executive to remove the children
 from the industrial school and place
 them in hotels and private homes un- i less provision were made for them by | the legislature
 1! But no provision was made by the legislature and the children have not l been removed yet. It is possible that the promised donation of the Fit Grant
 site may have some effect on the gov ernors proposed action. But in any | event, viewing the matter in the most
 favorable light, it is evident that con-
 siderable time will certainly elapse be- fore definite action can be taken. Even
 if the school be removed to Ft Grant
 probably legislative action as a ore
 liminary will be required; and if the
 Davis suit now in the superior court
 succeeds, another legislature will not
 be in session prior to January. 1915. But
 of course the goernovr may calithe pres
 ent legislature in a second eXtraOT1i-
 nary session and there be many who
 think that is what he will be compelled
 to do.

LOWER RATES
 FOR TELEGRAPH
Sweeping Reductions by the Western Union Telegraph Company of Tolls Affect ing Every Office in the State

The Western Union Telegraph com pany has recently made sweeping re- duction rates in Arizona the reduc- tion having become effective on July l. The Western Union company took the initiative in this matter and secured from the corporation commission to put in a 30 cent rate which necessarily caused reduction in other rates, pro ducing 2 schedule which has brought about multitude of reductions. Here tofore there had been no rate between p cents and 40 cents. In the changes no rate has been increased but every office in the state has been benifited in some degrees.
 In order to give some idea of the eX- tent to which the reductions will pre- vail it may be stated that in the vii cinity Cf Phoenix five offices have rendered reductions in the toll rate from 50 to 40 cents on telegrams deS- tined to nine other offices: from 50 to 50 cents on telegrams to twenty seven other offices: from 30 to 25 cents on telegrams to four offices: from 40 to 30 cents on telegrams to nineteen of fices and from 40 to 30 cents on busi- ness with eight other offices
 In Tucson and vicinity six offices will benefit by reductions from 50 to 40 cents in the interchange of business with ten other offices; from 90 to 90 cents WIIh 10 offices; from 50 to 30 cents with ten offices and from 40 to 25 cents with sixteen other offices.

Another Argument in Favor of En-
 larsine tho Capitol Building.

A splendid imitation of man house hunting in the rush season is being furnished these days by w. M. Cres- we'll state sealer of weights and measures. It happens that the state capitol is not very large and the num- Der of officials under the new regime is not very small; with the va rious boards. commissions, officials. stenogGaphers clerks, bOokkeepers. assistants, and so forth. Mir Creswell is finding considerable difficulty to get d place to lay his official head. To make matters worse, the board ot control is not here to. help him out just now. so it is likely that the state sealer will be d w,lnderer on the face of the earth until that puissant body returns.
 Creswell thought he would occupy one of the cubby holes just off the representative chamber. but the state tax commission said nay. The tax commission is occupying the chamber as it's chief place of business, put each of the three members wants a private office. and so there are hardly enough places in that part of the building to go round as matters now stand However. there is possibility that this commission will have to curb it's desires. otherwise some of the officials will likely have to camp on the lawn The chances are that one of the committee rooms will be assigned Mir. Cresweil and the other officers not yet provided for will have to trust to luck and the favor of the board of control in having their needs attended to later,,

HAYDEN, July 3-The all-absorb- ing topic of public interest just at this time is, quite naturally. the do- inSS of the Baltimore convention but the approaching Fourth of July holi- day and the big fight at Las Vegas are commanding a certain degree of attention.

DEMAND FOR
 WATERMEL0NS
Estimated Hundred Cars in Valley Now; Shipments Made to Date Twenty Cars and All Good Fruit, Says Durfee

One hundred cars of melons in and about the valley is the estimate of B. Fl. Durfee. secretary of the Melon Growers association. And that is d mild and conservative statement he says.
 So far about twenty carloads have been sent out to the hungry public elsewhere, mostly in the direction of Albuquerque and Needles Every town, mining camp and section house along the main line of the Santa Fe. as well as other places in the Pres colt and Phoenix branch has been supplied with preliminary orders and the follows are coming in fast.
 The popularity of the Salt River valley watermelon is not alone de- pendent at this time of the year on the fact that it is the only one on the market. The Imperial valley has just started shipping-ten days be hind the Arizona growers. but the wants of AriZOnianS in this as many other cases are better supplied with home grown goods
 The association. which is the sell ing agency of valley melons and cantaloupes has been particularly act i've in spreading orders in the north. Nine carloads of luscious melons were
 sold in ten days east and west of Ash Fork Two were disposed of in Prescott and the mining camps and small towns of the branch line all got their share.
 What is especially impressive con- l l the fact that our of all the melons ! shipped only three were returned
 green and none broken. This speaks well for the method of handling as well as selecting for shipment. The agents of the association are 1 very busy with buyers in the south
 ern part of the state. Texas melons are coming in at this time but they are of inferior quality. Beside having 1 less flavor, they are not firm nor as crisp as the good old Salt River val 1 ley variety. One big dealer. Rabbit l of Flagstaff is quoted saying he will pay two or three dollars a ton more for valley fruit than Texas products | His example is followed by many oth i CT buyers who realize the necessity
 of keeping up the standard of their
 goods and are willing to do it for the benefit of home industry even at ar
 advance in price
 1 Local shipments of cantalOupes l have just commenced. all cOnsign- ments so far being under car lots.
 The cantalOupe crop is going to bt
 exceedingly fine this year" said Mir Durfee. T am much encouraged al
 the prospect of one of the best sea sons we ever had. Vines in the val ley will almost vindicate that ole chestnut about growing so fast the
 melons are worn off against the ground (Smies hereD But seriously things are certainly going good witf the growers and shippers. All but twenty acres are signed up with the ! association, which handles the out put of the Arizona Producers associ- ation. The tonnage may run little light. but as to quality the valley melons are surely there.
 Speaking of the watermelon day MT Durfee said the date had not been settled yet but the event would
 probably happen on the same day as the Farmers Institute, the twentieth 1 of July.

Origin Of the penknife-UntiI 1920
pens tfrom Latin .penna, a feather)
were made out of quilts or large feath-
ers of the goose or other birds, and
being soft, they split and had TO be re-
made, so the knives that remade these
pens got to be called ''penknives.''
The misnamed lead penc1f-There Is
no lead in the lead pencil; the right
name for it is graphite, from Greek
word which means TO write graphite
Is changed coal. Graphite used for pen-
ellis is ground to powder, then sub
JecIed to great pressure, made into firm
plates, and sawed into small strips
ready for the pencil. Graphite when
reduced to powder, is very soft, and
necessary TO mix different materials as
clay, chalk, etc. with powder to
harden It. The finest graphite comes

The ancestral breakfast-Until lit
tie over a century ago, there were only
two meals a day, dinner from nine in
the morning, in the 18th century, to
noon in the 18th century, and supper
from five in the afternoon to seven
o'clock. Breakfast up to 100 years ago
was mainly a draft of ale or ties. or
chocolate. In the 18th century, dinner
was gradually postponed until six
o'clock in the afternoon, which made
breakfast a necessity, and a little bread
and some radishes were added to the
morning draft A hundred years or so
ago cold meats began to be served for
breakfast, to the great surprise of ev-
erybOdy. It's novelty made it fashion
able and led to the giving of breakfast
parties, but these breakfasts were sell
dom served before II or u o'clock.
Breakfast finally became an institution
as a necessary thing in the long
stretch between supper, late at night,
and dinner, the next afternoon. This
acceptance of breakfast a little over loo
years ago made England for the first
time a threatenedt-Ha SHRDLCMFW
