 IN LARGE SUM.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
TO THE VOTERS OF PHOENIX

TO THE VOTERS OF PHOENIX Before the primary election the Arizona Gazette ridiculed the idea that there was any necessity for the REFORM MOVEMENT IN PHOENIX. Recent events have proven that there were
 BOOTLEGGERS IN PHOENIX And many reputable citizens claim that gambling is carried on almost openly in some of our poolhalls. The city management claimed that there was no such thing, so like the man from Missouri, they have been shown.
 Now these things are not pleasant to contemplate, but if they are true it is peter to clean them up than to cover them up.
 I stand for a clean, honest and efficient city government and am pledged to:
 The reduction of taxes.
 The reduction of the water rates. The improvement of Eastlake Park. And a square deal to all.
 No city employe who is capable, honest and efficient need fear re- moval if I am elected.

LANGUAGE AsCRIBED TO FISH
Men of the Sea Have Their Own Idea
of Articulation Peculiar to
Their Catch.

There is belief among fishermen
that herring, when caught, articu-
lates a sound similar to the word
"cheese." This sound is caused by
an escape of air from the air bladder,
or movemest of the gills. Fisher
men, indeed, frequently state that the
herrings "sneeze," just as Aristotle
once said that gurnards "grunt."
The Yurnard was known to the
Greeks as "lyros" and "coccyx." ap-
parently from the noise it was said to
make.
Many fish have various forms of
utterance attributed to them. On the
Norfolk Broads, one often hears it
said that an old jack pike has bark
ed like dog, and the same is said
Of the conger eel.
Red-finned herrings, called "loaders"
or "kings and queens" are sometimes
caught they are regarded as an omen
of successful fishing. One of them Is

How the Dutch Lost New York.


The first step toward making New
York an English colony was taken $50
years ago, when Charles II granted to
his brother, the duke of York, large
territory In America, to be called, in
honor of the proprietor. New York.
This included the Dutch settlement of
New Amsterdam and the "colonie" Of
New Netherland, with Col. Richard
Nicolls in command, to be deputy gov
ernOr.
The Dutch settlers decided that It
was useless to argue the case with the
English invaders, "who were six times
their number" and in the autumn of
1864 Fort Amsterdam and Fort Orange
were surrendered. The name of New
Amsterdam was changed to New York
and that of Fort Orange to Albany.
Governor Stuyvesant swore allegiance
to Charles II, but soon returned to
Holland. New Amsterdam, founded
over three centuries ago. had at the
time Of the English conquest a popu-
lation Of 1,5O0. while the total popula-
ton Of the province was about 10000.

Just Ono Inch Of Rain.

When the weather bureau reports
that an inch Of rain has fallen, 1t
means that the amount of water that
descended from the sky in that par

surrounding territory to depth Of one

It means that on one acre Of ground

QUENTIN ROOSEVELT BURIED

Berlin dispatch The story of the fatal

correspondent as follows:
"On Sunday, July IA, an American
squadron of fourteen battleplanes was
trying to break through the German
defense over the Marine. In the violent
combat which ensued with seven Ger
man machines, one American aviator
stubbornly made repeated attacks. This
eliminated in duel between him and
a German non-commissioned officer,
who, after a short fight, succeeded in
getting good aim at his brave but
inexperienced opponent, whose machine
fell, after few shots, near the village
Of Chambray, ten kilometers north of
the Marne.

THROWS POLLEN OVER BEES
Natures Use Of the Mountain Laurel
10 One Of Her Many Remark
able Devices.

Flopl and away go the little sta
mems Of the mountain laurel and throw
pollen over the bee which alights upon
them. The naturalist sees here one
OF the most remarkable devices in all
nature for compelling an insect TO car
ry pollen. The lover of nature sees
in the mountain laurel one Of the most
beautiful Of the common woodland
flowers, says Edward Bigelow in
"Boys' Life"
The corolla is saucer-shaped, with
ten little pits near the edge, and light
ly caught in each Of these little pits
Is the anther at the end Of the elastic
filament. This natural thing seems to
grow in an unnatural manner, but do
you know of any other plant that ac-
tually grows in distorted or strained
position, or puts its own self in an un-
comfortable and strained position
from which it is glad to be released
when the first insect comes along and
sets 1t loose?
The whole mechanism Is like hair
trigger. 1t is so carefully adjusted
that even slight jar will sometimes
set 1t loose. Shaking an entire bush
releases great numbers of these fla
ments, and flop flop, flop they leap out
Of the pits and the anthers throw their
pollen everywhere. The bee which
visits the mountain laurel must feel
that the times are prosperous, since he
Is showered with golden pollen which
he carries to the next flower to fer
tiliZe the seeds.
