Some Fine Apples

Speaking of fine apples" said Judge Sapp. some of the finest ones ever saw were grown in the Showlow country. There were none exhibited at the State Fair at Phoenix, nearly so fine assome grown by Willard Whipple this year, and believe Flanigans will bear me out in this state ment. MT. Whipple gave us a basket full when we went thru Showlow to the fair, and I never tasted apples of finer flavor. I have forgotten the name of these apples, but they are of the large yellow variety"
 "Showlow is proving to be a fine fruit and grain country, and I believe it is finest farming dis trict in Arizona.

Boost the Northern Route

Prominent among the week end visitors in Holbrook were Otis Hymer. business manager of the Cheyenne State Leader, one of the biggest morning pap CTS in Wyoming, and w. H. Bon- ham, proprietor of the Deadwood Pioneer Daily Times. Deadwood, South Dakota. Both old estab- lished papers.
 These gentlemen are making an auto trip from South Dakota to Los Angeles, driving a big Apperson. Jack Rabbit. They have this to say about the South ern route of the Ocean to Ocean highway:
 We found the road from Al buquerque, New Mexico, very satisfactory; but taking the Southern route from Springer vile over the mountains, the roads are terrible, the Black Canon being impossible. We were stuck fast in the mud in that canyon. Why it would take a six horse team to pull a heavy car out of that mud, and the canyon is impossible from four to six months out of the year. We were two days on the road coming from St. Johns to Cool ey's ranch, a distance of less than 45 miles. :"
 We cannot understand how a man with a mite of conscience can direct a car over the South ern route through Phoe enix." :"
 There were two cars car rying women and children, on top of the mountain, stuck in the mud and out of gasoline, the same day these gentlemen were stuck in Black Canon. Who could boost the Southern route?
 Messrs. Hymer and Bonham were compelled to return to Hol- brook. and after getting their car repaired and the mud wash ed off, proceeded on their way to Los Angeles via the Northern route. which if taken first they would have been three days near CT their journeys end.

ARIZONA LEADS IN
 PRODUCTION OF COPPER

Through the courtesy of Sen ator Ashurst the following inter estlng and official summary of Ariozna's copper output is repro duced from the United States geological survey press bulletin:
 Arizona ranks first in the production of copper, and copper mining is by far the mainstay of the mining industry of the state, according to E. w. Parker, of the geological survey. The recover able copper content of the ores produced in Arizona in 1912 was 365, 038, 648 pounds. million pounds a day. The value of this product was S6O. .231, BIT. In 2911 the recoverable content of the ores produced in Arizona was 306. 341, ,538 pounds. valued at S38, 267. .692. The increase in 1912 58, 897. Ill pounds. or 19.2 per cent. in quantity. and $21, 963. : 635, or 57.4 per cent, in value. The total value of the mineral products of the state in 1911 was $44. 503, ,873; in 1912 it was $67, : 497, 839. an increase of over 50 per cent. The large increase in the production of copper was due principally to the development of steam shovel operations on the low grade schlsts and porphyry Concentrating ores of the Ray district, in Pinal county. and the Miami district in Gila county.
 Second among the mineral products of Arizona is gold, in which the state ranks seventh. The only other important miner al product is silver, in which Ar izona ranks sixth Tn production. The three metals. copper, gold, and silver. constitute nearly 9S- per cent of the total production of the state. The gold produc- tion in 1912 was 181. 997 fine ounces. valued at S2.146, ,588. Nearly one-third of the gold out put is obtained in the reduction of copper ores, and most of the silver also comes from copper ores. Arizona produces also con siderable quantities of lead and zinc, the former amounting in 1912 to 3, 403 short tons, valued at S3O6, 290, and the latter to 4. 379 short tons. valued at $604.- 319. The total value of the me- tallic contents of the ores pro- duced in Arizona in 1912 was $67, 060, $50, or more than 99 per cent of the total mineral produc- tion of the state. ''

WASHINGTON NEVER HAD ANYTHING ON W. PAUL
 GEARY

Once upon a time somebody told Paul Geary. chairman of the corporation commission that the burro is the most intelligent of all animals, and Geary accepted the statement as gospel truth. never taking the trouble to in- vestigate.
 Now Geary knows better. Anyone who tells Paul that a jackass has any more brains than the knob on barber pole will have some argument on his hands. Geary has been convinc- ed that the hurro is inst below the amoeba in the scale of ani- nal fife.
 It was during his recent hunt ing trip up into the White noun tains that Geary was uudeceiyed. It happened that one day he wanted to cross Clear Creek, which was then in flood. Char ley Bledsoe, Harry Tritle, H. D. McVey and other members of his party told him that it would be a great mistake to start into that stream on a horse. They sug-  gested that he do the crossing stunt on a burro, 'the most in- telIigent of all animals. .
 So Geary did. He pounded the burro on the rear elevation till he was out in the middle of Clear Creek. Clear Creek, by the way, was anything but clear. Chunks of Ice were floating on it's turgid surface.
 Right in the middle the burro struggled up on fiat rock and calmly lay down. Geary's feet were already wet and when the icy flood struck bis middle he let out a yell that made Ringling's calliope sound like tin whistle in the mouth of an infant.
 Bledsoe began to taught. Nc Vey began to laugh. Tritle be gan to make those noises which, with him, pass for laughing.
 What the blankety- blank blank are you laughing at?" Geary mildly inquired. There's nothing comic about this. And he hit the burro once more be- tween the tail and the saddle.
 Come out here and look at 1 yourself if you don't believe it's funny" invited McVey.
 All the pounding that .Geary could do had no effect on the burro. and Jones and Cole were too far away for the commission to issue any official. order com polling that jackass to give pro- per service to the public. Finally | Geary got mad. picked the burro up and carrled him to the op- posite bank.
 From all accounts. Washing tons crossing of the Delaware must have been a Sunday school i picnic compared to Geary's cross ing of Clear. Democrat.

NO PROSPECT OF PEACE IN U. s. UTNIL HUERTA
 IS QUSTED


 message to congress was read by the President himself before the joint session of House and Sen ate at 1 o'clock Tuesday after noon. The galleries were crowd ed and every word closely fol- lowed.
 The message is the shortest on record, comprising only $500 words. He does not take up de- partmental matters. but instead the reports of the several heads of departments submit their re- ports separately.
 Regarding the prevailing con- ditions in Mexico. the president says:
 1.-The country, I am thankful to say, IS at peace with all the world, and many manifestations multiply about us of a growing cordiality and sense of communi- ty of interest among the nations. foreshadowing an age of settled peace and goodwill,
 There is but one cloud upon our horizen. That has shown it. self to the south of us, and hangs over Mexico. There can be no certain prospect of peace in Am erica until Gen. Huerta has sur rendered his usurped authority in Mexico; until it is understood on all hands, indeed, that such pretended governments will not be countenanced or dealt with by the government of the United. We are the friends of constitu- tional government in America; we are more than it's friends. we are its champions; because in no other way can our neighbors, to whom we would wish in every way to make proof of our friend ship, work out their own develop ment in peace and liberty. Mex ico has no government.
 "The attempt to maintain one at the City of Mexico has. broken down, and mere military de- spotism has been set up which has hardly more than the sem blance of national authority. It originated in the the usurption of Victoriano Huerta, who after a brief attempt to play the part of constitutional president, has at last cast aside even the pre- tense of legal right and declared himself dictator. As a consequ- ence, a condition of affairs now exists in Mexico which has made it doubtful whether even the most elementary and fundamen- tai rights either of her own peo- ole or of the citizens of other residence within her can long be successfully ,afeguarded, and which threa- ems, if long continued. to inn peril the interests of peace. order md tolerable life in the lands immediately to the south of US. Even if the usurper had succeed d in his purposes. in despite of he constitution of the republic md the rights of it's people, he would have set up nothing but a )recarious and hateful power, which could have lasted but a title while, and whose eventual loWnfall would have left the in a more deplorable ondition than ever. But he has lot succeeded. He has forfeited he respect and the moral sup 'ort even of those who were at ne time willing to see him suc- eed. Little by little he has been ompletely isolated. By a little very day his power and prestige re crumbling and the collapse is ow not far away. We shall not, believe, be obliged to alter our oIicy of watchful waiting. And hen, when the end comes. we hall hope to see constitutional rder restored in distressed Mex % by the concert and energy of lch of her leaders as prefer the berty of their people to their uy, oYnhitioua

The cottonwood is not much Of
tree for permanent planting, and it
should never be used as substitute
for better trees. 1t has, however, a
place on the raw, treelesS farm. 1t
makes quick growth, and furnishes
wood for fuel and other uses while
better trees are getting started. In
Nebraska it is called the Sudden saw
log"
Professor Longyear, of the Colorado
Agricultural College, tells in the fol
lowing how to propagate the cotton
wood that bears none of the messy
cotton blossoms:
Select the best form of cottonwood
trees that may be found in the neigh
borhood and one which is known to b
staminate, or not cotton bearing.
Take cuttings from any sprouts from
this tree or from the new growths
from any portion Of the tree before
the leaves comes out. Make the cut
tings so that only about two inches
of the upper end are above the sur
face. Cultivate throughout the grow.
ing season. It is best to plant these
cuttings about one foot apart in rows.
and not transplant them until the sec
ond season. During the first season
they should make small trees two
to four feet in height. If larger
trees are desired they can be left
two years in the nursery row, when
they will be of suitable size for
planting out in permanent situations.

WEEDS.

Weeds are getting to be a serious
proposition in some portions of the
town, in fact, most any locality could
be greatly improved by eliminating
that luxurious growth that now
adorns the alleys, bitches, some Of
the parkings and many of the vacant
lots.
Heavy rains coming simultaneously
with hot weather have produced an
ideal condition for the growth Of all
kinds of no&ious weeds which had
made a fair start during the dry
weather and only awaited moisture to
start a record breaking growth which
they. have certainly made. Among
other nuisances of the genus weedp
the Russian thistle is very noticeable
in various parts of town, and this,
above all others, should be eradicated
before it gains a foOthold in the un.
cultivated portions of the city which
will render it a nuisance for years
to come. 1t is a curse wherever it
gains a thorough start and such will
be the case here unless united effort
is made I'd discourage its advances.
Just at this season of the year, when
the plant is well developed and be-
fore the seed starts to ripen is the
ideal time to gain the upper-hands
Of this pest. A good portion of the
citizens of the village take great
deal Of pride in keeping their grounds
clean and free from weeds. The EFF.
forts of such are, however, unavailing
so far as permanent results are con-
cerned, so long as a portion of the
back lots, streets, parkings, etc., are
permitted to become foul with a con-
glomeration of undesirable vegetation
Of all kinds to grow to maturity and
scatter seed broadcast for another
year.

A Kansas City woman whose hus-
band was in the hospital, was per-
suaded by her affinity to steal one
