LONG CAREER HERE 0F
 PIONEER JOSEPH DREW
Tie Was One Who Helped Make Ari- zona Place Fit to Call Home

In the passing of Joseph s. Drew Tn Phoenix, on October 24. Arizona. loses one of the pioneer citizens that made thls country fit place to call nome. The mention in these columns at the time was brief and involved a Typographical error in the name Wherefore many readesrs outside of PhoenlX who might otherwise be in tereSted, may not have associated the item with it's subject, which war ranted this biographical mention.
 MT. Drew was born in New York. Sept. II, 1845, and had therefore reached the mature age of. 70. Al ways active, however, and usually vigorous until recent months, in ap- pearance time had not told upon him as might have been supposed. His final illness was of but short dura- tion
 The youngest of seven children. he emlgrated to Kansas in ante-belIum days with the family of his father John Drew, who was well known in the pioneer annals of that state, and who lived almost to the rounding out of century. His four brothers all served with distinction in the ranks of the Union army, the only
  one now surviving holding the rank of adjutant general in the Kansas state militia, Chas. P. Drew of To- peka.
 Approaching maturity at the close of the war, Joseph Drew engaged in | mercantile pursuits in various Kan sas towns, latterly at Fort Dodge, l whence he came to Arizona in 1875, l stopping first at Prescott Later 1 when the mining camp of Tip Top | was at its zenith he became it's lead | ing merchant and prospered exceed ingly though before he left the camp he suffered expensive re- verses.
 He next engaged in mining and stock raising at Cullings Wells, a well known station on the old road from the Colorado river to Prescott, and was very prosperous until a

 DAIRY NEEDS
Prof. George Mckay of Chi cago to Address Dairy men Today on How to I'm prove PrOducts-Wonder fuIl Field Here

That the Salt River Valley offers conditions ideal for the dairy industry is the opinion of Prof. Geo. L. Me Kay of Chicago, who has spent the past two days inspecting dairy condi-
 tions in this locality. Mckay, former
 ly head of the department of dairy
 husbandry at the Ames Agricultural College, and twice sent by the United States government to study dairy con- ditions in Europe, has been brought here by the Maricopa Dairymens As sociation, and will deliver an address
 before the members of the associa- tion this afternoon. This meeting is to be at the Empress theater at one o'clock. Mckay's subject will be
 How to Improve the Quality of the Dairy Product" but will be prefaced by a brief review of dairy conditions in England. Denmark and Germany referring to desirable features that may be applied practically here.
 Professor Mckay said that there were few districts in the world where natural conditions were so perfect as in the Salt River Valley For the advancement of the industry his two strongest recommendations are, first, the wiping out of the adobe hole" abomination, and second the con- struction of more silos This valley can produce many of the sorghum and corn crops in abundance and these turned into silage and fed with alfalfa produce a balanced ration hard to beat. For silage purposes, it is bet ter to plant these crops thickly so that a larger yield of fodder will re- suit, for if heads mature in large pro portion the feed will be too grainy, having a tendency to make beef rather than milk. and to get dairy cattle off their feed
 Professor Mckay referred to the widespread use of the silo in the most successful dairy communities, and said he would be glad to mail bulletins on this subject to any dairy man requesting them. his permanent address being 2O37 Continental-Com mercial Bank Building, Chicago, III.
 Arizona is extremely fortunate in it's immunity from the foot and mouth disease said Prof. Mckay and he ad- vised all dairy and stock interests to cooperate in the thorough and rigid enforcement of quarantine laws, and that until the disease was abso- lutely stamped out in the eastern dis trict no stock should be imported from those localities.

season of severe drouth swept his range and with it the most of his accumulations. He then moved to Phoenix that his children might have school advantages, and was there after a resident of this city, being also engaged in farming enterprises.
 Always a consistent republican in his political convictions, he was uni versally liked by all who knew him and on the two occasions when he sought office at the hands of the re- publican party against overwhelming political odds he barely failed of election. In the first instance he was a candidate for sheriff in Yava- pal county and in the second in stance he sought the same office in Maricopa county, that being in the later sos, and failing by less than ten votes. And in those days to be sherieff was greater than to be king.
 Shortly thereafter MT. Drew brought to Phoenix the first well drilling outfit that ever came to the Salt River Valley, having a contract with the county to sink a well on the court house plaza in the hope of de- veloping artesian water. The hole was driven several hundred feet, when the county decided to pursue the enterprise no farther. As years accumulated he became quite deaf, uniting him for business life that involved intimate contact with the people and his energies were de- voted to agricultural and other un- dertakings suitable to habits of retired life. In an acquaintance GOV ering the greater part of his life the writer never heard any man speak i'll of Joe Drew, an indulgent hus- band and father and representative of the highest type of manhood.
 He was married many years ago to the widow of Daniel Cuttings. who preceded him to the grave two or three years ago. Of relatives in Ari- zona he is survived by three daugh- ters and two sons, Miss Addie. Mrs. Louis Quiros, Mrs. Roy Beck and John and sam Drew, two well known young men. There are also two step children. Daniel and Charles Cuttings.

Late Afternoon Blaze Result of Blaze From Lamp-Cottage and

Fire, supposed to have started from an explosion of an overturned lamp, completely destroyed the two story residence of C.. R. Barnes, well known rancher, whose place is six miles northwest of the city, yester- day afternoon, late. It was impOssi- ble to save anything and even the contents of the eight room house were lost.
 No fire fighting measures could be employed. The blaze caught so rapidly and spread with such quick ness that in a few moments it had invaded the entire house.
 The house was worth about $16O0, and except for about a thousand dol lars of insurance all of it was lost

weak. and her head grow dizzy with
sheer happiness, and wondered If 1t
were not too marvellous to be true.
And, looking very steadfastly into his
eyes, she saw there the CLEAN that
once had frightened her; the gleam
that spoke of something stronger and
more compelling than his love. II no
longer frightened her, but made her
soul sing, though it was more intense
than it had ever been before. for now
she knew that it was she herself who
brought it to his pupils-and that
nothing would ever be stronger
But they had much to say to each
other, and, finally, Samson broke the
silence:
Did ye think l wasn't a-coming
back, Sally?" he questioned, softly. At
that moment he had no realization
that his tongue had ever fashioned
smoother phrases. And she. too. who
had been making war on crude idioms,
forgot. as she answered:
"Ye done said ye was comm" Then
she added a happy lie: Il knowed
plumb shore ye'd do hit"
After a while she drew away and
said, slowly:
Samson, I've done kept the old
rifle-gun ready fer ye. Ye said ye'd
need it bad when ye come back, an
I've took care of it."
She stood there holding it, and her
voice dropped almost to whisper as
she added:
It's been lot of comfort to me

denied the fulfllment of its strength.
and which had been bestowing on an
inanimate object something that
might almost have been the stirring
of the mother instinct for a child.
Now, thank God, her life should never
lack anything that hood-tide of love
could bring to it. He bent his head
in a mute sort of reverence.

He held her off at arms length and
looked at her pridefully, but under his
gaze her eyes fell and her face flushed
with a sudden diffidence and a new
shyness of realization. She wore a
calico dress, but at her throat was
a soft little bow of ribbon. She was
no longer the totally unself-conscious
wood nymph, though as natural and in
stinctive as in other days. Suddenly
she drew away from him little, and
her hands went slowly to her breast
and rested there. She was fronting
a great crisis. but, in the first flush of
Joy she had forgotten 1t. She had
spent lonely nights struggling for rudi-
ments; she had sought and fought to
refashion herself, so that, If he came,
he need not be ashamed of her. And
now he had come and. with terrible
clarity and distinctness. she realized
how pitifully little she had been able
to accomplish. Would she pass mus.

frightened, self-conscious and palpi-
sating, then her voice came in a whis-
