Tame Wild Geese.

Eldora Ledger: William Rains
barger, living northwest Of Eldora,
has flock of wild geese that are
certainly a curiosity. Many years
ago. MI. Rainsbarger crippled a
number of the birds by shooting
them through the wings while they
were flying over his farm.
Just as an experiment he placed
the geese in an enc losed pen, first
cutting off a part Of one wing sc
that they were unable to join their
companions in flight. He had heard
that wild goose in captivity would
not propagate its specie, but he has
learned that this story was simply
fiction, for from the few he first
captured he now owns d flock of
forty or fifty handsome birds. a
little smaller in size, than the do
mesticated species and Of a brown
ish-blue in color, they are as tame
as pet sheep.
A peculiar thing about these
geese, however. is that the second
cross breeding with the tame or do
mesticated goose in some manner
destroys their prolific or producing
qualities-like a mule they cannot
produce goslings of their own kind.
The geese owned by Mr.. Rains
barger are as tame as are the other
fowls on the farm, and if they have
visions of their former air flights in
the heavens they give no Indication
of their yearning. While it has now
been nearly forty years since Mr..
Rainsbarger captured these first
geese, the original ones are still
lively and healthy and it is asserted
that they come from a family given
to longevity, some Of the specie hav-
ing been known to live hundred
years.

PHOENIX TOWN
 IF OLD DAYS
Citizen of Globe Who Saw It Almost a Half Century Ago When It Didn't Take Long to Look it Over Agreeably Surprised

The first white child in Phoenix ar F. Crampton, constable of Globe pre- cinct who is here attending United States court. MT. Crampton was not born in Phoenix or for that matter in Arizona but he came in 1866 when quite young to Mcdowell with his stepfather who had a store there. That was in 1866 and it was then that he visited Phoenix
 He saw much of the construction of the Swilling ditch, now known as the Salt River Valley canal. He knew Jack Swilling well and Captain Han cock who for time had been a clerk in the store of his step-father.
 sister of MT. Crampton was the first woman married in Phoenix. Her husband was Charles Kenyon whom most of the old timers remember. MT Crampton presented to this office a copy of photograph taken of Wash ington street in 1874. Only two build ings appear, one an adobe occupying a part of the city hall plaza and the other a frame building occupied by SOluDeIS SlOTe- III tHe IOTeSTOunQ D. pears a cottonwood tree which became memorable in the annals of Phoenix as the gallows tree where some out laws died suddenly.
 In 1869 the stepfather of Mr. Cramp- ton bought Maricopa Wells and en- gagged in staging at which he contin- ued until driven out of the business by railroad competition
 Mir. and Mrs. Crampton live at Globe in the same house they have oc- cupied for twenty-five years. Though they have been married more than a generation and all that time have lived in Globe, both of them have never been away from Globe at the same time
 There is perhaps no other man liv- ing in this state, and few anywhere who has seen so much of the frontier in the southwest as MT. Champion has and he is not an old man yet. He has been held up by bandits and has had many narrow escapes from Apaches.

MEMORIAL.

Col. James H. Creighton, Past De- partment Commander of the Depart
 ment of Arizona c. A. R., was born near Waynesburg, Ohio in 1880. He graduated from Mt Union College. AL liance. Ohio and engaged in teaching until the nation called for his services in 1881 He entered the army as first lieutenant of company D, 18th Iowa Vol. Infantry. After a time spent in the field, he was placed in charge of ordinance stores at Springfield, Mo, having transferred to the 46th Mo. Vol
 Infantry, where he remained until mustered out of the service. He then located in Springfield, Mo. in the prac- tce of law Later he was the district attorney for that. district, and still la ter was elected judge.
 In 1878 he moved to Indianola, Iowa, and resumed the practice of law. In 1898 he came to Arizona, where he lived rather a quiet life till time of his death. Three years since he met
 with painful accident from which
 he never recovered sufficiently to be able to walk.
 There were five brothers of them in the Union army, one of them dying in the service and three of the five last year. He was married to Miss Laura Hud- son, who survives him, together with four children, Mrs. Shirley Christy of the Arizona School of Music, Ned Creighton of this city, Harry Creighton in the U. S. customs service and Hugh Creighton, engaged in brokerage busi- ness in New York.

MIGHTY M|CH|GAKS
 SUCCESSFUL TRIP
Journey of Mrs. w. L. Clark to Phoe
 nix from Jerome.

One of the most interesting auto- mobile records made in the state this year, is to the credit of Mighty Michigan, which came in here yester- day from Jerome, a distance of 2O4 miles, with a gasoline consumption of only fifteen gallons, an average of over thirteen miles to the gallon. while only two quarts of oil and half gallon of water was used. Consid- ering the size of the car, the number of passengers and the many stiff grades and heavy hoad to cover this is mighty fine performance.
 Mrs. Wm. l.. Clark, the owner of the car, brought a friend, Mrs. Ruth erford with her, and both enjoyed the trip immensely, there being not a single mishap of any kind to mar the ride. She came here to meet her husband, who is the well-lznown manager of the United Verde Copper Co at Jerome. The entire party will start on the return trip today.
 Carr of the Carr Auto Co, local agents for the Michigan, is might fly" sWelled up over the record made and says that for rough, tough work in the hills, he'll back the Michigan for economy and get-there ability.

We employ a method of concrete construction which does away with forms, and the labor of preparing them, by using tilting table or platform upon which the exterior wall of the building is constructed, with window frames in place; and the finish, or ornamentation all done without the use of staging, etc. When the concrete is set, the wall lying nearly flat is elevated to the vertical at a nominal expense.
 This method is new, only in the sense that it has not been employed in Phoenix; however, the United States government has built mil
