Sheriff Adams, of Phoenix, arrived in Yuma this morning, subsequent to the arrest of Quentin Quigley, who is wanted in Phoenix by a moving picture company with whom he has been connected in business
 The affair is, on the whole. an un- fortunate occurrence Quigley, it is said, (after te manner of some mem betook himself and his earnings to a saloon Sunday night, after his show, and, in the development of his good time" succeeded in forgetting more than anyone might be accustomed to desire to and aforementioned to for ward the films, which were borrowed from the company, ana which were required for the next niyht's show at Phoenix. Consequently, they did not arrive at the time billed, resulting in all around
 Quigley will leave for Phoenix, to- night, in company with Sheriff Adams, where the matter will be adjusted; but, at present, he is strong for pro- hibition and is ready to take to the watermobile, and thus avoid further mixups of an discriminating nature.

Yuma Variety Egyptian Long Staple Cotton|s Wonderful
NEEDS LITTLE OR NJ IRRIGATION
 FUR THE ACQUAINTED COTTON

That Yuma variety of Egyptian long staple cotton is a hardy plant has always been known by experts ia miliar with the subject; but, recent discovery has exploded all previous data on the subject. Chas. Peterson, formerly experimented with the Yuma variety on his mesa ranch, but for five years the cotton plants have been without irrigation. An investigation shows that these cotton plants are still growing and to a height now several feet above a mans head.
 These experiments were originally made to demonstrate the feasibility of the Yuma mesa for cotton growing, and were highly successful, but the most optomistic booster had never claimed such long period of growth without irrigation.
 The facts are all the more wonderful because the plants on the Peterson place still have plenty of life and from all appearances will grow on indefi- nitely.
 The long staple variety sells for twice the price of the ordinary short staple. An English syndicate, repre- scented by Count Ward of London and Juan Felix Brandes, both. of whom have large holdings in Egypt and the Argentine Republic, has leased 5,00t acres in the Imperial Valley from the California & Mexico, Land & Cattle company and will plant the entire tract to the Yuma variety of long staple cotton.
 The Department of Agriculture has been closely watching the experiments made with this valuable staple in Ari- zona. It is hoped that a most profi- table industry can be developed No where else in the United States are conditions so favorable to successful cultivation.
 The government stands ready to protect and stimulate the growing ot the long staple variety. It is proposed to establish a quarantine against the importation of foreign lint. which, if done, will exclude Egyptian cotton. Washington believes that Arizona will eventually produce sufficient long Gtaple to supply the Southern mills.
 w. E. Barnes, travelling freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pa cific railroad, has been one of the most prominent promoters of the Arizona long staple Egyptian cotton and to MT. Barnes is largely due the growing interest in this promising industry. He made very interesting exhibition of acclimatized Arizona Egyptian cotton at the Tucson cham Der of commerce.

VICTOR, COL, STREETS

VICTOR, Colo, May 20. Business streets of Victor are now literally paved with gold. They have been surfaced with more than 700 loads of ore, crushed to a suitable size which runs as high as $10 a ton in gold. The ore was used because it was really cheaper than it would have been to haul non-mineral rock from a greater distance.

GAMBLING SYSTEMS

DR.. E. V Appleby, formerly a lee
turer at the University of Minnesota,
testifying in a pending court case,
says he has made money consistent
ly by wagering on the gaming tables
at Monte Carlo. He claims that his
carefully worked out system in one
year paid him $4,000.
1t would be impossible to compute
the human energy and even human
life that has been given to deyising
gambling systems to beat Monte
Carlo and other famous gambIins
houses. Some people claim to have
made money by keeping careful rec
ords of the stopping places of rou-
lette wheels and balls, thus learn
ing the peculiar tendency and lido
syncrasy of the mechanical devise.
If a wheel seemed to be losing
because some one had learned its
tendency, it is an easy thing to shift
wheels every night. In 1896, a sys-
TEN was successfully worked at
Monte Carlo by woman who had
studied the eccentric results pro
duced by the warping of a roulette
wheel. The management never lost
but once from that, as afterward the
wheels were tested nightly.
If d gaming place continues in bus
ness day after day, and makes
money, its system must be securely

NO BEER IN STRIKE ZONE

An incidnet of the Calumet strike
that has quite escaped the press is
the action taken by the brewers OF
the district-July oath, last-the day
after the strike was called. The min
ers left their work by the thousands,
on July 23rd, and on the morning Of
the oath, the brewers of the dis
trict met at Lake Linden, with rep
resentatives of the shipping
brewers who did business in the
Upper Peninsular. Discussing the
strike situation, and the probability
of riots and violence, the brewers re
solved to sell no beer, or deliver
none, into the strike zone, while the
strike lasted. They declared that in
this instance, at least, they would
not be held accountable for any VOL
lence that might follow in the wake
of the strike.
In connection with the action Of
the Upper Pensinular brewers. it is
interesting to note, that of the 81
witnesses examined at the Coroner s
Inquest, over the "A victims of the
Christmas eve disaster at Calumet,

that the latter was to give out the
notice Immediately after the sermon.
The clerk, however, had a notice

to the baptism of infants. Accord

arose and announced that "all those
who have children when they wish
to have baptized please send in
their names at once to the clerk. :"

FOUR ECLlPSES IN 1914

Star gazers will have an opportu-
nifty to see four eclipses during the
year 1914. The first comes in Feb
ruary and will be an annular eclipse
of the sun. This will not be Wis

southern parts of Patagonia and
New Zealand will be the only parts
of the world where this eclipse will
be visible.
An eclipse which will be seen in
the United States and Canada will
take place in March; this will be a
partial eclipse of the moon and it
will happen in the second week of

REQUIREMENTS FOR LAWYERS

Madison Standards of the degree
Bachelor Of Laws were raised by the
regents requiring all candidates TO
have completed at least six months
clerkship in the law office of rec
ognized firms before they will re-
ceive the degree. This action was
taken because graduates Of the law
school who are granted licenses to
practice are allowed to appear be-
fore the supreme court, and the fac
ulty Of the law school feels that it
should be necessary TO require alc-
tual experience of at least this term
before granting full privileges Of the
bar. The ruling which will be effec
tive June l, 1916, allows candidates
for graduation to do this work be-
tween semesters, SO that student
will be able to complete his work
in three years by serving two periods
of three months each in a law office

GOING OFF TO TRADE

Some men in our town are always
figuring and scheming to outwit our
merchants Cn a trade, and as they
say, Save a nickle." They pool
together, make out a list of their
wants, and then with an order for
half a wagon load of goods, say to
Mr. Merchant of some foreign port,
How much for this bill, spot cash? p
This makes the blood Jingle to the
toes Of the merchant, and thus he
figures and sOliloquises: 4 won't
make much, but what l make I'll
have, sure pop" The figuring shows
saving Of five or ten cents on
every dollars worth OF goods &C
corning to the way you have been
charged by your home merchants
and you chuckle to yourself: so
much saved" Now, did you give
your home merchant an equal chance
Did you go to him with your fifty
or one hundred dollar order and say,
How much to fill this bill, for the
cash?" Or did you not send in your
fifty cent, one dollar or five dollar
order with directions to "chaTge
and deliver" and then find you have
actually paid twenty-five or thirty
cents more on five dollars worth of
goods brought to your door and
charged to your account. good for
six months or a year, when you
might have saved that much by
spending a day going off to some
other town and paying the cash
Now, is not this about the case?
Give our home merchants an equal
chance; tender them the cash for
your wagon load Of goods, and ii
they don't save you money, all things
considered, Well not say trade al
home" Bear in mind the money lei
at home, the profits are spent at
home, and every dollar invested
abroad is that much against the in
terest of your town and community.

MEN AND CIGARS

Because of his solemn garb cigar
salesman was mistaken for a man Of
the cloth and invited to make a few
remarks. He acoeGed to the request
and ascending the platform said:
Men are like cigars. Often you
can not tell by the wrapper what the
filler is. Some time a good old
stogie is more popular than an i'm
portant celebrity. Some men are all
right in the showcase, on display, but
are great disappointment when you
get them home. No matter how fine
a man is, eventually he meets his
match. A two-for often puts on as
many airs as a 50-center. Some men
never get to. the front during cam
paigns. Some are very fancy outside
and are selected for presents. Others
have a rough exterior, but spread
cheer and comfort about them be
cause Of what is inside. But all men
as all cigars, good or bad, two-fors,
stogies, rich or poor, come to ashes

THE EXTREMES OF THE STOCK
MARKET

After a long period of scraping
along on bed rock bottom, the stock
market has advanced. Sentiment on
the various exchanges is more hope
| full.
The public that watches from affair
the doings of the SPECTATORS should
not think that this is necessar ly
a favorable time for them to engage
in speculation. The cream is never
secured by these WHO buy when hope
prevails on Wall street. The time to
make money, if ever, is when Wall
street is convinced that the coun-
try is headed straight for the kennels
A few bargains can then be picked
up.
The stock broker sees everything
either all sunlight or all pitch
black. There are no interme iiate
shades of twilight.
The man who can risk his whole
career on the roulette wheel OF stock
investments has the gambling spr.t.
If gamblers were regarded as so
cially acceptable, he would place his
shiny coins on the green cloth.
When he is hopeful, he cannot adj
NIT the possibility of clouds ard
storms. He buys at top level prices.
These are based on fictitious valua-
tions. They assume the pers stence
of flexible money markets, and dis
regard the yeasting unrest that must
shake the business fabric Tor a long
time.
When this type of man DIS con
verified to the bear position, he
goes to the opposite extreme. He
ignores the fundamental common
sense of the American people. He
fails to see that al political parties
want prosperity, and that any po-
lictical party will make many flop
ana reversals to keep in power. De.
preston never goes far before it
rights itself
Wherefore no man. is fit to spend
a dollar ON stock investment who
depends much on the dope fed OFT
by these sporting gents. 1t is
as unreliable as tips ON the races.

THE WISE SPIDER

When Mark Twain, in his early
days, was editor of a Missouri paper,
a superstitious subscriber wrote to
him saying that he had found a
spider in his paper, and asking him
whether that was a sign of good luck
or bad. The humorist wrote him this
answer and printed it:
"Old Subscriber: Finding a spider
in your paper was neither good luck
nor bad luck for you. The spider
was merely looking over our paper
to see which merchant is not adver-
Using, SO that he can go to that
store, spin his web across the door
and lead a life of undisturbed peace
ever afterward."
