ROOSEVELT READY
TO SAIL FOR HOME
Plans to Leave Brazil Today or
TomorroW-Kermit Will
Go to Spain.

NEW YORK, May Gable adj
vices received here today from Ma
naos, Brazil, where his expedition
emerged yesterday from the interior,
stated that Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt would sail today or tomorrow
for New York. AS no mention was
made of the plans of other members
of the party it is presumed here that
several will accompany Mr.. Roose-
welt and that Kermit Roosevelt will
go direct to Madrid, Spain, where he
is to be married shortly to the daugh-
ter of Ambassador Joseph e. Willard.
In messages received from Colonel
Roosevelt by friends and relatives
here mention was made of his recent
Illness, but as the same adVices also
stated that he planned to start i'm
mediately for home no alarm was
expressed as to his physical condi-
ton. 1t was believed that his indis-
position was caused by an attack of
jungle fever which would, quickly dis
appear once he left the interor coun-
try. The hardships of the trip and
the probable loss of supplies. includ-
ing food, which left the party on
short rations, is given as another
probable cause for Colonel Roose-
velt's illness.
AS the messages from Colonel
Roosevelt to members of his family,
to friends and officials of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History so
far received have been brief, it was
believed that other messages would
be received today giving more de-
tails of his expedition during which
he spoke of having discovered an I'M
known river, affluent to the Madeira.
Prepared maps of the region raw
ersed by the expedition fail to show
the river mentioned by Colonel Roose.
welt, and museum officials expressed
the opinion today rhat his d 'scovery
was of unusual value to topograph-
ers for the guidance of explorers who
may undertake trips into the wilds
of the Amazon.
The mention by Colonel Roosevelt
that the trip had neen a hard one
was taken by museum officials TO in
dicate that what Colonel Roosevelt
termed a hard trip really meant that
unusual adventures were encountered
even to the risking of life to traverse
the country never before visited by
white man.
1t was said here that If Colcael
Roosevelt left Manaos within the next
few days he should arrive in New
York about May 20.

OF CANTE-
 LOUPES HAS STARTED

While the prospect for q large crop of canteloupes is not very promising there have been a number of local shipments and one car, which was shipped from BleVins Saturday night Today large number were consign-
 Ito Little Rock and other points be- tween Prescott and that place.
 The acreage fer this season is the largest yet planted, but the exceeding ly dry weather will make the yield very short.
 Information comes from the McCas
 i|l Fruit & Truck Growers Associa- tion that if rain is had right away the late crop will be fine. The early. or fret crops along the Prescott & Northwestern railroad will be very short, probably one-half or less and the melons have not matured as they hould have.

ABOUT FISH

News item from Dallas states that tho State fish hatchery is in full oper- o+;on It will be remembered that a year ago plans were made to establish 2 State hatchery at the State Fair Grounds. By co operation with the Federal Government this was made oasv and a great expenditure of mon ev has been made to make the pro- iect q success in every sense of the word. A similar plant should be loca- ted in every state in the union and should supply fish for all streams and nrivate preserves. Fish is a very fine article of food. This will be univer- sally conceded and ye we destroy whatever prospect we may have of a plentiful suqqly of fish by sowing poi son or throwing dynamite in stream or catching a great load of fish with nets or traps. This is nothing short If ruthless waste and should be prohi- bited by law everywhere. Nevada County has a fish law but from infor- nation received it is not being enforc- ed and if is not going to be enforced and it is not the will of the people to have such law it should befrepealed. The law, we are informed was intro duced and passed at the request of citizens of the county and yet it is not being enforced,

NEW LAW WILL REDUCE
 RATES PAID FOR LEGAL PRINTING
How Act No. 3, the Publicity Law, Will Cut Cost of Publishing Inita- tive Acts and Amendments.

The provisions of Act No. 3. which have been previously explained in this series of articles, have referred to the benefits which are to be derived from the enforcement of the law after 1t shall have beer enacted by the vot- CTS in the September election.
 Today we consider the important feature of the cost. It will be seen that, in addition to the money saved the public through efficiency, economy and tax equalization directly result ing, there will be saving of 50 per cent of the printing cost through a provision found in section 9 of the act It is explained by the attorney who drafted the act as follows:
 Section 9
 [" Section 9 provides that fees al lowed for the publications provided for by the act shall not exceed one-half of the regular legal rate provided by law for the publication of legal mo- tices. Except in cases of newspaper having sworn circulation of more than 5000, when full legal rates shall be paid. Newspapers with a circula- ton of more than 5000 cannot afford to nnak! tie publication Cor ore-half the legal rate, as such all papers now they can use for advertisements. The receive more than that for such space section further provides that all ac- counts for the publication of these measures to be submitted to the peo- pie at the general elections and for the publication of a synopsis of the acts of the General Assembly shall be paid by the state, when such ac- counts are approved by the State Printing Board, which is composed of the governor, auditor and secretary of state, all accounts for the publca- tion of the orders of the railroad com mission shall be paid by the state when approved by the railroad com mission; all accounts for the publi- cation of the equalization boards and county courts in reference to assess ments and the publication of accounts allowed against counties and the re port of the commissioners of accounts shall be paid by the county when the same shall be approved by the county court"

WHAT IS LIBERTY

President Wilson spoke on Inde- pendence Day in Philadelphia and as usual said some significant things. He discussed the business situation. defended the repeal of tolls and de- clared that the Declaration of Inde- pendence had lost its significance in a eense. lie gave some striking defini- tions of patriotism and liberty. The latter he said consisted in the tran stations of general declarations as to the rights of men into definite action Now, did you get that? Pretty good for a school master. Patriotism he said, consisted of practical things. For instance it means to know what the facts are and to face them with candor The President is rather noted for his good definitions and clear cut statements, of which the above are fair samples. As to the business he scored those who are criticising the administration and congress for hold ing on so long trying to accomplish by legislation the things for which the Democratic party stands for
 lie said that a great many facts have been stated about the present bushes conditions in the country but that these facts dc not tally with each other. Some people insist that every thing Is going wrong when it is de- monstratable that most things are go- Ing right. Under these circumstances the President wonders what they are trying to do. Whether they are trying to serve the country or serve someth- Ing less u an the country. The infer ehce is that they are doing everything Tn their power to serve something less than their country.
 The utterarces of the President of the United States always attract at tehtlon as he is the political leader of the country and naturally his speeches UT letters have a tone of authority .nat commands the attention of think ing people generally, and so for what rreSldent Wilson has said has always oeei meritorous an d has furnished 4ou TOT thought for all men of all par ties.

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
 REGULAR MEETING

The council met in regular semi monthly session at the hall last night and several very important matters were discussed.
 The demand has been growing sev- eral months for a continuous current and this will necessitate the purchase of additional machinery. At this time the electric light plant is oper- ated continuously. but the equipment Is inadequate to keep the plant runn- ing all the year round The water and Light Committee, composed of R. P. Arnold, chairman, aldermen Gee and Davis will accept bids for an addition al engine and generator. With this new equipment our city will have a a continuous current.
 Oiling the strets was discussed and this will probably be attempted. The street committee, Jno. A. Davis, chairman, aldermen Blakely and Sykes will ascertain the initial cost of the oil and placing it on the streets. The first attempt will be made in the business section of the city and then the residence portion will be oiled.
 A proposition was discussed where by portion of Elm Street is to be graveled. A movement of this kind was started several months ago, but 1t did not amount to anything. Now 1t Is proposed that the council, the citizens and the county together bear the expenses. The street committee will also look after this matter.

The government is trying new eX- pertinent in rat catching and perhaps is learning something in this fine art. It has not been generally known that the government maintains corps of rat catchersin connection with the health service The rat is as wise as fox and as shrewd as a hare and is said to be the fastest animal in the world. Most any housewife will tell you that it is folly to set the same kind of trap with the same kind of bait in the same position more than two or three times. If we are going to catch Mir. Rat, he insists that we should use a variety of methods, to say the least of it.

Two Things That Prevent Tatri-
 mOnial Wrecks

In the July Amearican Magazine a man who has had twenty-five years matrimonal experience says that he and his wife were growing father a. part and constantantly. quarelling The family would have been wrecked had it not deen for two things which he describes as follows:
 First was the baby. a, healthy charming child to whom we were in- tensely devoted, for months the baby was about the only sudject we could agree upon; the other safeguard was our sense of humor. Thave since tho ught that no two persons should marr unless one or the other has a sense of humor. With us the sense of humor usuallp came to the rescue at the most trying times One or the other of us would de struck kith the ludicrous fea- ture of our quarrel and laugh, and pretty soon we made up."
