Rhine 1.-TWO miles to the east) by
canals. 1t is a center of high roads
between Germany, France and Switzer-
land and at the junction of other
canals which connect the Rhine with
the Marine, and the Rhone with the
Rhine. The place is the seat of the
imperial governor of Alsace-Lorraine,
and the headquarters of the Fifteenth
corps.
Like Metz, Strassburg was in
former days governed by a prince
bishop. But in the thirteenth century
the then German emperor made it
free city. 1t had at that time $4,000
inhabitants-a population deemed
huge-and, being very important
trade center, it was already rich and
prosperous. Then it was that the
principal facade of the great cathedral
was built.

Strassburg, like Metz, was an an

Romans called it Argentoratum. 1t is
today enormously strong, being de-
Tended by IA forts and inner ramparts.

The astronomical clock which adorns

with statues of the three wise men

dread, the time when the
E French armies might reach the
environs of Strassburg and be-
gin to lombard that ancient
capital of Alsace-Lorraine, because
then one of the most marvellous works
of civilization will be exposed to de-
struction or great damage. This is
the cathedral of Strassburg, an archi.
tectural glory, lone of the choicest
Gothic visions ever dreamed of by a
master mason
During the war of 1870 the Strass-
burg cathedral was rather badly dam
aged. The French established a mill
tary signaling station in the immedi-
ate vicinity, which drew the shell fire
of the Prussians. AS result, the
magnificent spire was torn from top
to bottom, and one projectile, grazing
the cross on the top, bent it sidewise.
This happened on the Oath day of
August.
No sooner was the war at an
end, however, than the Germans set
about the business of repairing the
damage thus inflicted. The task &C.
cupied ten years, being not completed
until 1880.
Dates From the Eleventh Century.
1t is an interesting fact that this
celebrated structure occupied the site
of an ancient heather temple dedi-
Gated to Hercules. Indeed, the image
of the god is known to have been pre-
served within it's walls, as historic
memorial, up to the year 1866, when
it disappeared-just how is not salts
factorily explained. The heather tenn
pie was demolished in the fourth cen

them teach their young to fly.
Toward the end Of August all the
storks start on the same day south
ward, bound for their winter quarters
in Africa. In March they return, pre-
ceded a week or so by single stork
pioneer, and their arrival is always
hailed with joy. Apparently they in
variably take up the same nests year
after year.

the wanton slaughter of birds, declar-

keep down the insect pests and there

they have not stopped at this. With

 FREE-HAND
BAY CITY EXPERTS FAIL TO AGREE WITH THE LOCAL AND STATE FAIR JUDGES.

Conflicting with the decision of the judges of portraits at the Northern Arizona Fair and the State Fair letter was received by Blossom N. Kelly yesterday from R. N. Coate, the manager of the picture department of Sanborn, Vail & Company of San Francisco, stating absolutely that the portrait of Judge Smith is free-hand work and is neither mechanical nor photographic in any manner.
 At the fair in this city during Octo- Der the judges first awarded the blue ribbon to Miss Kelly and later phoned telling her that there was doubt as to whether the portrait was hand work O. not. The matter rested and the portrait was taken to the State Fair where the judges would not admit it to the contest claiming that 1t was a photographic copy.
 To settle the matter conclusively Miss Kelly mailed the portrait to San born, Vail & Company of San Fran cisco and the reply received was as follows:
 Dear Madam:
 "We are in receipt from you of pencil drawing of Frank O. Smith, size by 12 inches We have exam ined this picture with care and will certify that it is absolutely free hand drawing and is in no way photo- graphic or a mechanical reproduction.
 Furthermore, we. have submitted this picture to experts on solar print ing and they state absolutely that it is a free-hand drawing in every respect.

PETITIONS FOR A FARM ADVISOR
 REJECTED
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TURNS DOWN PROPOSE TON OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
(From TuesdaY's Gailv.l

Three petitions, one from residents of Camp Verde, principally farmers and the other from farmers and ranchers near Cornville asking that the county appropriate SIPS for six months trial of farm doctor" were received and internationally denied by the board of supervisors yesterday at its first meeting for the month of December.
 What action the board will take when the petitions now being circu- lated in Skull valley, Red Rock coun- try and Camp Verde, are presented by the dry farm committee of the chamber of commerce is not known, but it is understood that the board is against the advent of the farm advisor ii it will mean an annual expenditure to the county of $450.
 If the proposition should be carried through, Coconino county would put up a like amount and with the funds donated by the University of Arizona, the United States department of agri- culture and the Santa Fe, the farmers of the two counties would have a farm advisor at their service.
 Sheriff Young's appointment of A. B. Kellogg as deputy sheriff in the Horseshoe county in the southeastern corner of the county was approved by the board. There has been no officer in that section of the county and Kellogg is accepting the position with out compensation.
 Clerk Belcher was ordered to adver tise for bids to supply meat to the county hospital and jail mess for the coming six months.
 No action was taken on the letter received from Assessors Williams and Gentry relative to the site for the transfer of the county jail. The board is awaiting the action of the city coun- cil which will have to form lease to- present to the board stating the terms of the proposed transaction.
 Other business consisted of the checking up of the accounts of the offices of the recorder, clerk of court, treasurer and sheriff.

|SAKSON NOW IN THE ROLE OF

MAN CHARGED WITH IN- SANITY SAYS EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO STEAL HIS MINES.
(From Tnesday's paily.l

Turning the tables on two men who claim to have leased his mining prop erty, one of whom had him taken into custody on charge of being insane, Thomas Isakson yesterday swore to a complaint against L. Murdock and D. F. Sidall charging them with de frauding him out of his two silver mines in the Walker district.
 Both of the accused, who came to this part of the country from Cali fornia during the latter part of Sep tembcr were taken into custody by Deputy Bozarth yesterday afternoon and when brought to the city were taken before Justice of the Peace Me Lane who released them on $500 bonds each.
 According to the complaint the two men have fraudulently taken posses sion of the two mines under pretend ed lease with Isakson and have also taken possession of his tools with which to operate the property. The pretended lease, it is said, was made out about September 27th, and the next day, it is claimed, the two men relocated the property.
 About three weeks ago Isakson was arrested at the request of Murdock. the latter claiming that Isakson thought everybody was trying to pois- on nim and as result was going to shoot somebody.
 The latter charge proved ground less at the hearing and Isallson who 1as lived in the Walker country since 1894 was released on the order of Judge F. o. Smith.
