Produce

Local Royal apricots made their ap- pearance on the market yesterday, sup plementing the Newcastle variety, which is now entirely off the market. The present variety now being sold is still high in price, but will soon be cheaper, as the fruit will be more plentiful about June 1.

 Local black figs are arriving regular ly, and have been meeting ready sale.

"DEAR SANTA CLAUS

That the kingdom of Santa Claus has as many faithful subjects in the pleas antly wintered lands of Arizona as he has in those portions of the world where his annual trip IS made over snow and ice and to the accompani- nent of chilly winds, has been shown in Phoenix during the week, for through The Republican have come many letters, right from the heart of childhood, to the genial dispenser of Yuletide cheer. And that Santa Claus may know the wants of these loyal children their letters are printed be- iow-not that Santa doesn't know his subjects desires, but merely to engraVs them deep upon his memory and insure that none of the little writers are dis appointed when the Christmas chimes ring out. One little fellow writes as follows:
