COLD WEATHER IN ARIZONA
Phoenix Is Not What 1t Is Cracked Up
TO BE as Winter Resort,
Says Sam Smith.

Samuel Smith, who has spent the
writes The Sun as follows:
"Will write a few lines TO let the peo-
Iple of the valley know that Phoenix is
not in n warm climate. as some think.
Night before last, the 18th, it was cold
enough to burst the inch water pipes
that run into the house. and last night
it froze ice again. 1t is warm enough
during the day, when one sits in the
sun. but as soon as the sun goes down
it gets cold. l have to keep an oil
heater going in my room every evening,
and then ii is none too warm. How
ever, | have not been bothered with
asthma since l have been here. 1
walked up the street last evening, but
had to have my big overcoat on and
then was none too warm.
The town is not filling up with tour
lists very fast. Lots of rooms are va
cant, but they still hold up the rents
and prices. Provisions here are about
the same as there, except meats, which
have come down the last few weeks.
Sirloin and T-bone steak sell mt zoe,
with other meats at II, II, 10 and Sc.
All canned goods are shipped Into this
country, mostly from the east.
81 would not stay here, only that
asthma does not bother me here. When
ever it does l will get out, as there are
too many MeXicaHs here to suit me.
one hears very little English spoken.
There il small regard for Sunday in
This country. Everyone keeps working
just the same as on week days. All the
business houses, pool halls, picture
shows. etc. run wide open-only a few
of the larger stores observing Sunday.
THESE places are not what they are
commonly reported to be. All are
boosting for tourists, and the climate
is not what it is supposed to be when
you get here. Respectfully,
SAMUEL SMITH"

person IN this land district to take adj
vantage of "A recent federal law that
authorizes h leasing of government
lands for mining purposes. He has
leased go acres of coal land near Wal
colt and expects TO open IL coal mine

dren. The eldest is Mrs. Dorothy
Fields of Coronado, Calf, 81 years old
Miss Marjorie Graham, 10, n student
at Vassar College, is the second, and
the youngest is Henry, Jr., aged 10.
The trust under which the manage
ment of Graham's property was taken
over in 1916, will divide his income
between the children, and each will re-
ceive one-third of the principal when
trust, his widow was left with no
claim whatever to n share of his half
million4dollar estate.
Mrs. Graham suicided in the family
home ON Wednesday. November %,
while alone in her room. and while her
parents and Borrowing friends were in
the lower part of the house with the
body of her murdered husband. 1t is
said by the st. Louis papers that grief
over the death of her husband and the
shock of his sudden death are the
causes ascribed by relatives for Mrs.
Graham's act. She shot herself with n
.3S-caliber revolver and death resulted
ins~tantaneously. according to the at
tending physicians.
Mr.. Graham was an ardent fisher
man. and for n number of years he and
his family had arrived in Saratoga at
the opening of the fishing season and
he would spend seven days a week, al
most without fail, in pursuing his ia
vorite pastime along the Platte river
and nearby creeks, until late in the
summer. They spent the past season
here and left during September for the
home in st. Louis. Mr.. Graham had
made various preparations for next
seasons fishing. even to the extent of
planning the purchase of n ranch along
the Platte. where he could have extern
sive fishing water that would be all his
own. His daughter. Miss Marjorie, had
spent the past two summers here and
was very popular with all the young
people, The family had many friends
in the valley, all of whom regret to
learn OF the terrible tragedies which
have cost the lives of Mr.. and Mrs.
Graham.

smells Of sulphur and his eyes emit a

tinctive Characteristic is that he has
only II leg: he neither walks nor
runs, hut jumps along, writes "A New

This Is the description compiled
from the accounts of many witnesses.
of Sacy Perere, special Indigenous
devil of Brazil, whose biography was
not long ago published in book form ut

there is 50 little original, native ele-
ment in Brazilian culture that IL Is
worth while to preserve whatever
there Is. So the great Brazilian news
paper, o Estado de Sno Paulo. insti-
tuted an inquiry regarding Sacy Per-
ere, who is described MS one OF the
very Few tropical native products.
