LITTLE BUY LOSES
 . HIS MOTHERS MONEY
Whoever Finds Nine Dollars on Polk Street Should Realize That Sum
 Belongs to a Poor Woman

If you happen to find. the sum of $9.55 in the vicinity of Polk and Sec ond streets the chances are that the money belongs to a widow named
 Mrs. Murray, who is not richly en- dowed with worldly goods. | At any rate Mrs. Murray's little | boy lost that amount of money in the l vicinity of these streets last evening, and the loss of the coin has caused a big dent in the eXchequer of the Murray family.
 The story of the affair, as related to The Republican last night is something like this:
 1 Monday evening, the widow gave her | seven year old son a ten dollar bill 1 and sent him to a nearby fuel dealer to purchase a sack of coal. The boy
 made the purchase and the dealer deducted the price of the coal, which was A cents. from the bill and gave , the lad the change. Childlike, the little fellow was not overly careful 1 as to where he put the money the 1 man gave him, and the result was
 that he soon discovered that he had i lost it.
 His tears attracted the attention of
 two men who happened to notice his distress, and they learned the reason 1 for the boys sorrow A lantern was produced and hunt was instituted
 for the lost money, but it was not found.
 The men accompanied the boy to 1 his home on the west side of Second avenue between Van Buren and Polk
 streets, and from the mother they heard a pitiful story of poverty. It
 seems that Mrs. Murray does sewing
 and other light work to support her
 self and her son. and the ten dollar
 bill which she had given the boy was the last cent she pOSsessed-and the
 rent due on Tuesday. Furthermore
 there was not enough money in the house to provide for Tuesday morn
 ing's meal
 The visitors contributed enough money to cover the immediate needs
 of the little family, and then came over to this office to suggest that
 some publicity be given the matter in order that whoever finds the
 money might know where it came
 from and feel disposed to return il tt
 it's rightful owner.

AR|VACA GETS NEW
 TOWNSHIP RIGHTS
Town Which fo,- Three Hundred Years Has Been Town Site at Last
 Recognized as Such

The United States land office yes terday received notice rom the head quarters that the townsite of Arivaca had been approved Tor entry.
 Residents and landholders of that town have been trying for some time to get the government to recognize their town as patentable land. When the matter was brought up, and the abstract of the land closely investi- gated, it was discovered that the place had been a townsite since the year 1900, when the King of Spain issued a grant to a number of his subjects who had settled there. The United States acquired the land sub ject to these old grants.
 Fen Hildreth has represented the people of Arivaca in the case.

China, the Wonderful and Ancient

Hardly any invention has been hit upon in the last 300 years that some Chinaman has not come forward with the statement that it was of the forgotten things of China The Chinese claim have discovered gunpowder and have preceded Guten- berg by centuries in the art of printing from movable types. We that they claim that the wireless and the aeroplane among the discarded things of China.
 Undoubtedly many some of which, perhaps, remain to be redscovered, have been by the Chinese for it is almost unthnkable that a people and place that produced Confucius should have made important progress in the arts and sciences.
 Anyhow China is a wonderful country yet. We have proof of ths existence, recently discovered by Frank N. Meyer plant explorer of the department of agriculture, of many strange and useful plants fruits and flowers, well as well known plants which are growing wild in sections of that region which have been little visited. Among are the beach, the so-caled English walnut and the hazelnut.
 It had been supposed that the peach native of Persia where was, If a poisonous fruit it was at least unedble That reminds of a claim made by Captain Allen Kelly of Imperial valley at d Country Club dinner while he visiting Phoenix some time ago. of having found to his great amaze ment edible peach in Southern California
 The hazelnut found by Mr. Meyer was a tree more than 100 feet in height while the hazelnut this country which is found in a rather restricted a bush seldom more than six feet in height The haZelnut has for centuries been cultivated in some parts of the world notably Turkey, where known fibert tree. The considerably larger than the hazelnut and the plant has been developed into small tree. We believe that theory advanced to the place of origin the hazelnut It is probable in view of Mr. Meyers discovery, real home has been found The manner of it's dis semination is yet to be revealed.
 The relation between the hazelnut tree of China and the hazel bush of this country recalls relation between the ederberry bush of the middle zona valleys and the great walnut of the and middle states and the rather dminutve walnut trees of the ravnes in the mountainous districts of Arizona
 The elder tree here grows O a height of thirty or forty feet. Though decduous the practically evergreen. The joints branches of the tree are not marked those of the bush. The berries are smaller but have the flavor the berries of the bushes.

It resembles only it is smaller so- called white walnut usually found growing in the fields and thinly wooded places Whether our elder berry tree and wanuts developments the species found in the east or vice versa do not know But been sacrificed to the size of the plant while in the case of the walnut have lost size of both fruit and plant
