 An illustration of the splendid con-
 dition of the highway between Yucca
 and Kingman we will state that l.
 Hoffman in Metz. with one passen.
 ger left Yucca yesterday q few minu
 tes after the overland passenger train
 pulled out from that station and ar.
 rived here nearly five minutes ahead
 of it. The distance by rail is frac-
 tion over twenty-three miles. while
 the highway covers about twenty-six
 miles. The time of the automobile
 was tifty-tive minutes. with a stop of
 about three minutes on the way. This
 highway is part of the Trail of the
 Padres." on the National Old Trail road, and which IS now becoming one of the most travelled routes across the continent. Over the route from Los Angeles to Needles the trip was made last week in a fraction over ten hours, which would indicate that that end of the route is in perfect condition to take care of travel.
 April produced some of the old time March weather in it's declining days. last Thursday morning bringing one of the greatest snow storms ever known in Arizona this late in Spring About o'clock a white blanket cover ed the whole country. although before seven o'clock it had disappeared in the low lands. Daybreak saw all the trees and bushes in Kngman spread out with their load of snow, looking for all the world like a picture of winter in Norway. While the winds that fol- lowed the fall of snow were chilly and fires had to be built in the homes and business houses no frost came and all fruit appears to be uninjured On the Cerbat aud Wallapai ranges snow fell to quite depth and It will be some days before it entirely disappears. To the west the snow fali appears to have been heavier than in this section. The weather is yet unsettled and it is possible that storms will continue for ,ome weeks. To the cattle and sheep men this storm has been of inestim- able benefit, coming as it does so late in the year, and insuring great feed during the summer months.
 Last evening a baseball organization to cover all lovers of the National game. Kingman needs some- thing to interest the people on days when all may cease from labor and er- joy good game of baseball or some other clean sport. To provide such sports it is necessary that some form or organization be framed to meet the conditions. J. w. Morgan, was elect ed president of the organization. Thomas Devine wee president. and J. H. Rosenberg secretary and treasurer, each one of whom is a baseball enthu- siast. A board of control was also elected composed of A. F. Harris, J. A. Ellis, M. H. Hamilton and Anson H. Smith. Harry Jones was elected field manager and also captain of the ball club. A committee composed of all the officers of the club will wait on the business men to interest them in the project of Sunday baseball during the next five months. The subject is one that everybody should take an interest in, as it will provide enter- tainment not only to the people of the town, but also to the visitors within our gates. When the committee comes around meet it with a smile and give all they ask to make success of tho undertaking. They will not ask any thing unreasonable and we know that the people will stand back of the con- mittee.
