Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Are We Humane? 1t Appears N q,


 To The Republican, Sir:
 This article is not criticism neitl.er is 1t intended as dictation to the 'hu- mane officer" in Phoenix. whose powers, as l understand, are very limited. but having, during my past life, owned and controlled the usage of many dumb beasts, I feel a kindly interest in them. and it actually grieves me to stand on a Phoenix sidewalk and witness a sight now described. A certain eXpressman was engaged by some one to bring a trunk Mounting the rickety seat he started, or I should say, endeavOred to: With cudgel and lines the jehu jerked. pushed, yelled, dumped, kicked, and Whacked the poor old lifeless carcass, stiffened by years of hard toll, both in saddle and shaft, tand worthy of that restful boon, death years bef0re) un til finally one leg was drawn past the other few inches, and revolution be- , gan. Now. without any exaggeration it took one block of travel before this beast could more than crawl, and dur ing the time required, a constant, for ! cible beating and yanking had to be carried on. Again, go to these auction yards and look over the dying beasts there offered on sale, and bought by cruel street vendors. with neither hu- manlty, charity nor mercy Tn thelr souls, and who are no more fitted to own a beast, than a child I tell you it is scandalous A Chinaman whom we , used to class as "adamant," when asked why he feeds and cares so well i for his horse, and pOor.y for himself, 1 will tell you you feedee horse, he 1 workee good; no feedee, no workee, me | lilxee workee him There's logic, that is not possessed by the present ordin- ary horse owner. I know a woman, who only a few months ago bought, for a song, on old beast, sleek and fat. which today is so haggard and dis ] tressed from overwork and lack of food, ] that it can scarcely wobble. All should z be absolutely forced to care for and feed their dumb beasts or have them wrenched from them forcibly, and the owner prosecuted. Great stress is af- fected, and wonderful sympathy eX- tended to Vagrant dog or cat. but stop and make comparison. The horse, : shacl1led and fastened lives in contin- uous slavery; no effort of his can free 1 him from mans ruthless fetters:-It is work or die, either by peaceful servi- 1 tude or wrathful abuse and starvation: Not so with dog or feline, which as / rule is petted and fondled, and well cared for, but in any event is not sub 1 Ject to labor, and being unhampered and free, can roam at will, hunting their prey, or delving in the endless garbage can that lines the alley.

warned them against the excessive of water with the result that while many profited. others have gone to the other extreme and using too little. Some, however, still using too much.
 It is difficult if not impossible to lay down hard rule to the of water in cotton cultiva. tion. So much depends upon the character of the soil and the soil in this valley is exceedingly varied Yet Mir. Hudson lays down in his paper printed by The Republican yesterday general rule which any intelligent farmer adjust to the pecularties Of his soil There Is perhaps other crop in the valley that is much affected by the proper or improper of water.
 Though the season has been backward one, cot ton has gained rapidly within the last two three weeks that it's condition is normal and the prospects that the crop will be bountiful one. The extent of the bounty each grower will receive will depend upon himself, his cultivation and the of the water which has been beneficenty placed at his disposal Nothing is left to chance, there can be such thing drouth in this valley

HEALTH BOARD
 ] .G|VES ADVICE

The easiest of all food to become contaminated is milk In perfect con dition it is one of the most nOurlSh- irG of all foods, but when not properly cared for it is one of the most active agents in spreading disease. For the purpose of instructing the people in the care of milk in this heated season the following ten suggestions . have been made public by the Arizona state board of health. after prefacing the instruc- tions with the mandate to keep the milk clean, covered and cold:
 Buy only the best milk obtainable. It is cheaper in the long run.
 Consult the health department before selecting your milk dealer.
 Buy only bottled milk if possible Dipped milk is often dirty and deficient in cream.
 Take milk into the house as soon as it is delivered and place it in the refrigerator immediately Bacteria in creases rapidly in milk which stands in the sun or warns up, and such milk will sour quickly.
 A Keep milk in the original bottle in the refrigerator until the moment of serving. Milk which has been poured from the bottle should not be returned to it.
 Keep the bottle covered with paper cap or an inverted tumbler to prevent the entrance of flies and dust, which may carry dangerous bacteria into the l milk.
 Keep the refrigerator clean and sweet by means of proper drainage and l frequent washing with scalding water and sal soda, since milk quickly ab- sorbs unpleasant odors and becomes | less palatable.
 Wash milk bottles as soon as emptied. by rinsing first with luke warm water and then with hot water.

Cotton Irrigation

All cotton growers should read and follow the instructions of MT. E. w. Hudson. which appeared in The Republican yesterday morning. MT Hud- sons expert knowledge of long staple cotton and it's cultivation is greater than that of any other in the southwest. It very largely through his ef- forts that the industry has become such a tremen- dous success in this valley.
 MT. Hudson especially dwells the subject of proper irrigation which this stage so essential to the best results. The tendency of Salt River valley has always use too much water and this tendency manifested itself in the beginning of the. cotton industry. Mir Hudson who then in charge of the governments cotton experiments

If there is any infectious disease Tn your house. do not return any bottles except with the knowledge of the health department and under condi- tions which it may prescribe.
 Return empty bottles promptly, and do not use them for anything except milk. Remember they are the property of the dealer and represent cash.
 Remember that clean milk, properly cared for. is one of the best foods ob- tainable It is nourishing, digestible, and usually economical.

IN
 PUBLIC UTILITY

Two former Phoenix reputable cit izens are now in the unholy public Utility business on the coast. One of them is John M Gardiner president of the Pacific Public Service corpor- ation and the other is A. P. Wal bridge, secretary of the company, for many years connected with the Ari- zona Canal company until it was talk n over hv the government. The 1 story of their fall is thus told by the Healdsburg, (Cal.) Enterprise:
 "On Wednesday last the Pacific 1 Public Service Corporation, through Attorney E. M. Norton, bought the franchise to lay gas pipes along the 0unty rcaos Tn the Russian River | Valley north of Windsor to the coun- 1 ty line, for $50 the sale being ap- proved and confirmed by the Board of | Supervisors. This franchise ena bles; ! the gas company to connect the towns of Healdsburg, Winsor, Geyserville, Cloverdale and Preston in it's pro- posed distributing system, and to sup ! ply gas to the ranches and houses along the roads. The franchise runs for fifty years, and provides that work on the svstnsm must be begun within four months.
 The franchise to lay pipe in the city of Healdsburg, which has been advertisel in the Enterprise for more than a month past, will be sold on July 7th. and the Cloverdale fran chise later in the month.
 MT A. P. Walbridge, secretary of the company, has been in Healdsburg for the past six weeks devoting his time to the securing of these fran chises, and while waiting on the | Io been receiving applications for gas service from our citizens
 He reports something over 400 gas contracts secured to date, and hopes to add 200 more before the hearing before the State Railroad Commits sion in the near future. These appli- cations for gas service will be sub mitted to the Commission to justify the bond issue necessary to carry out the plans of the company.
 "From our San Francisco exchanges we note that an application by Pacif-
 c Public Service Corporation was filed on Monday, the 18th, for per init to buy the Ukiah Gas plant fol s45,000, and to construct the new Healdsburg- -Cloverdale system.
 Permission is asked to issue $50. GOO of it's capital stock and s3O0.0O' OI LII Sl lSdSt per Ceul JULIUS which are to run 40 years.
 The application Is accompanied by an exhaustive report on the territory to be served by F. C. Willard, an ex- pert gas engineer. who made a thor ough survey and examination in Apri last From this report it is noted that the estimated total population tt he served is 12,000, and that 2,241 consumers may be secured. Th' com oined Ukiah and Healdsbure plants will serve 5000 consumers. MT Willard says, so that future growtl will be taken care of

THE RASPBERRY KING

There were two little girls. Their
names were Mary and Edith. Mary
was washing some raspberries one
day and she found raspberry
worm. She took it and put it under
a leaf. The two girls were making
raspberry jelly and they did not
have enough berries.
So they went out in the woods to
get some more. In a short time
Mary said that they had as many
berries as they needed. They
thought they had better go home.
Edith said, Let us stay and get
our aprons full" SO they stayed a
little while longer. 1t soon became
very dark. .... ...."
The girls were a little afraid.
Mary wished she had a chicken
sandwich. She felt something in
her hand and there was chicken
sandwich. Edith had one too.
Mary then wished she had a
glass of milk When she looked in
her hand, there was glass Of milk
and Edith had one also.
Then they both wished they had
a bed to sleep in. Mary looked, and
there were two little beds with
sheets and pillows on. Mary and
Edith went sleep. In the morning
they awoke and did not know
where they were. Mary wished
she had a cup of hot corfee. On
little table by the side of each bed
was a cup of coffee, pitcher of
clean and some sugar. When they
were done eating, they heard lit
tie voice talking to them.
The voice said, 1T was who
gave you your things to eat"
The girls were frightened and
looked around and there was a lit
tie old man. He had white beard
and white hair. He said that he
turned into a worm every thousand
years and that Mary had saved his
life. He gave each Of the girls a
pin with a raspberry on it. .-
They never forgot the raspberry
