Arizona to the Front.

Among the several thousand sol- diers of Camp Kearny. Calif., to pass over the Santa Fe a few days ago, was battalion of the 15Sth (Ari- zona) infantry. and their destination was an Atlantic seaport. This troop movement precludes any further speculation as to what disposition is to be made bv the war department of this command. the general impression having been that service on the Mexi- can border was contemplated. It was also learned that the full regiment of Arizonans was being kept in position to move at short notice.

 Market Letter for the Past Week.
Marketing Cantaloupes.

Five thousand carloads of canta- loupes are expected to be the Impe- rial Valleys contribution of. this fruit for this season, according to an authority. In order to convey just what this output means, the follow ing figures have been evolved If the cantaloupes were placed in 40-car trains it would take 125 solid trains to handle this crop. If the 5000 cars were placed in one solid train it would cover distance of 40 miles.
 There are 336 crates of cantaloupes to the car, or 1,6S0,000 crates, 45 can taloupes to the crate, which means that there will be shipped from the Imperial Valley this season 75,600,000 cantaloupes. A standard crate weighs 6S pounds, which will mean that the entire crop will weigh 14,240,000 pounds.
 Refrigerator cars are used to han dle this California's most highly perishable crop. It is necessary to initially ice, that is, fill up ice tanks, and re-ice each car before moving same from loading stations. This takes in the neighborhood of tons per car, or a total of 10000 tons, or S0.000 pounds.
 To imagine this amount of ice, if an iceman were to deliver this ice at the rate of 25 pounds per day, it would take 3,200,000 days, or 8,767 years.
 The first carload of cantaloupes from Imperial Valley was shipped May 25, just II days earlier than last years first carload, which moved June 4.

Raise s25 Bushels Potatoes to Acre

Raise S25 Bushels Potatoes to Acre.
 What is claimed to be the worlds record production of marketable po- tatoes on one acre, 49,531 pounds, or S25 bushels, has been made on an acre tract of land near Kanab, in the south- eastern section of Utah, just a few miles from the Arizona state line. The record yield was made in response to a competition fathered by the Mormon church, and the church authorities have drawn check for S1 ,000 payable to representative of Kanab ward of the Kanab stake of the church, which is responsible for the production.
 The church also paid $500 and S250 for the second and third largest yields, respectively. Prizes of several thous- and dollars were paid last year by the church for record yields of wheat and other foodstuffs. The potato yield, for which the s1,000 was paid today, was certified to by more than fifty farmers.

Campbells Celebrate Wedding Anni-
 versary.

Just to celebrate their eighteenth wedding anniversary, MT. and Mrs. Thomas E.. Campbell came over to Je- rome from Prescott last night. They are travelling in their automobile, ac- companied by their son, Brodie, and after few days here will continue on to the White mountains for fishing trip.
 It was just eighteen years ago to- day, the 18th of June, 1900, that Miss Gail Allen and Tom Campbell were married in Jerome. They had become engaged on the 18th day of the pre- vious September. Now, on June IS, 1918, eighteen years later, they are back.
 Mrs. Campbell's last visit to Jerome was two years ago, when the appear ance of the camp was decidedly diff ferent from what it is today. She con fesses that as she came up the hill last night she was completely turned around and unable to locate any of the familiar landmarks. It was not until this morning that she began to get her bearings.
 Mir. Campbell would rather discuss anything than politics. He announced several weeks ago that he would again be candidate for the Republican nonl- ination for governor, but says that he will not really get into the campaign until he has had good rest up in the mountains. His nomination is as- sured and he feels that he stands bet ter than an even chance of election. no matter whom the Democrats put into the race against him.-Verde Copper News, June IS.

The First Snake Story

During the rain storm of Monday afternoon cloudburst performed a curious freak in boring hole into the soft soil on the road to Walnut Grove, releasing five rattlesnakes which had evidently crawled into shelter. This report was given yesterday by Al B. Taylor, who was travelling on horse back to the city, and happened to reach that point when he witnessed the unusual sight. He killed all the snakes and has the five sets of rat ties to verify the story. MT. Taylor also states such a terrific rain and thunder storm he had never experi- enced as occurred near the old A. A. Moore ranch, where he is camping while engaged in prospecting.-Pres- colt Journal-Miner.
 When Mrs. Regina Romero Marti- neg, widow of a man killed in a Miami mine, received her inheritance, totaling S1,269.40, she would not leave it in the bank but insisted in having it in currency and carrying it on her person, saying that she intended to re- turn at once to Mexico with her three children. A wine party with friends followed and when she woke up the next morning both friends and money were gone.
