der B. E. Foster, of the U. s. Biological Survey, started to work on Garland Prairie last Thursday, poisoning prairie dogs. They will get thru on Garland Prairie about the 18th. when MT. Foster will go to Red Lake and organize the farmers there for a campaign to exter- minate the prairie dogs. MT. Foster is using kaffr corn. In addition to the required amount of strychnine, the corn is soak ed in molasses, so as to render it sweet and appetizing. Ali ter eating just a kernel of this corn the dogs never eat any thing more, but are satisfied for life.
 The folks of Pittman Valley all Joined together and enjoyed a big Fourth of July dinner, in cream. The crowd was enter tained by two good comedians. In the evening there was a good old fashioned dance in the Gleason home. A large crowd was present. Luncheon, con- sisting of sandwiches, cake and ice cream was served. Every body enjoyed a good time, as they always do at Gleason's, as Mrs. Gleason is an excellent hostess.
 On the morning of July 5th. MT. and Mrs. Charles Chestnut drove their team out to haul in some wood. While MT. Chestnut was out getting some wood the team started. One of the horses was a three year old colt. The lines caught in the buckle of the harness, and were rendered useless. Mrs. Chestnut jumped just before the wagon turned over. Dr. Rounseville got out as quickly as he could, and found the right leg broken just above the ankle.
 Charles Hasenzahl has haul ed the lumber to build a good up-to-date garage at. Maine, at the junction of the Grand Can yon road with the Highway. Construction work will start in day or two.
 Malcolm Boytt is the Look out on Kendick Mountain. Nal colm reports that the snow on top of the Mountain is still about 3 feet deep-too deep to go to the spring for water, so , Malcolm melts snow to get water for his household use. On these warm days we wish Malcolm would send us down just little snow.
 A short time ago there was a grass fire in Garland Prairie, which burnt over some twenty acres. The fire was started by somebody being careless in throwing down a lighted match or cigarette. Fireman Clar- ence Perry and Lookout Miles Fisher soon had the fire under control.
 The folks of Pittman Valley went together on July 4th, and brought we'll filled baskets and enjoyed a good big all day pie nlc near the Gleason Ranch. There was dancing at the Glea- son home in the evening.
 The bid for the new two room bungalow for the teacher of the Pittman Valley School was given to Frank Boulin, and the building is already we'll un- der way.

'WOMEN AS A WORKING
 POWER IN MY STATE
Delivered by Mrs. T. H. Cure ton, President Arizona Fed eration Women. Clubs at National Convention, Chau- tauqua, New York, June 29.

"The Arizona Federation of Women's Clubs sends it's most cordial greetings to the Rien- niaI.
 T am proud of the honor of representing the State of Ari- zona whose motto is Dous ditat'', God enriches". This motto was chosen because Ari- zona has many kinds of wealth, great pine forests, rich mines, unsurpassed scenery. harnessed and unharnessed water power, fertile soil and marvellous eli mate.
 ''The Arizona State Fedora tion was organized in Novem- Der, 1901, and will soon be 21 years old. The greatest gift that the mother body can be- stow upon her daughter tonight in the year of her majority is the renewed inspiration and en- thusiasm for her coming duties. The Arizona delegation has come from a far away corner of the nation-wrilling and cap able women.
 We are no. here tonight to eytol our virtues and boast of our accomplishments but we are here to receive and help in our small way.
 The motto of the General Federation Unity in Diversity" might we'll apply to Arizona for we are a great State of great distances and varied climates. Our population is few and scattered, numbering only 33O,O00. Arizona's towns and cities dispersed over her noun tainous ~ covered area make close association and united ef-- fort difficult.
 1 believe l am supposed to enumerate some of the concrete things we have accomplished.
 Much interest is shown in the study of Arizona history. The Chairman offers a prize of $1O.OO each year for the best paper on Arizona history. These papers often contain vivid accounts of long rides in stage coaches, privation, want and Indian attacks.
 Bravery and endurance were essential on the part of all women who accompanied their men into Arizona. Amid all the hardships of pioneer life, when luXuries and even com forts were unknown, these courageous women longed for something higher than the ma terial things about them. From their lives of toll they grasp ed a few moments for reading and study. All this resulted in the formation of the first Woman's Club in Prescott, Ari- zona, August 13, 1895. Even at this early date the women combined the cultural training with the utilitarian. They raised funds for a library, bought pictures to decorate the walls of the school rooms and planted trees in. the school yards. They introduced man. ual training into the public schools of Prescott and raised funds to buy all equipment.
 Very soon clubs were orga- nlzed at Tucson, Phoenix. Bis bee, Florence and other places. In 1901 these twelve clubs of the territory organized into a Federation and united with the General Federation in 1902.

that neither would awaken if you
entered the room.
"You meant the affair to look like
suicide, but during the dance you
learned from the lips of Professor
Semyonov of an easier method, and
one practically safe from discovery,
as you thought You determined i'm
mediately upon its adoption, and that
determination was crystahzed by a
conversation you overheard upon
the little porch which opens off the
breakfast room. You planned it down
to the most minute detail, even to the
use Of the gas mask to save your
daughter from harm. After your
guests had gone you slipped down
here to the hall closet to obtain the
keys to the garage from the pocket
OF your motor coat which hung there.
You fouad there, quite by accident
pair Of Miss Fay's cast-off slippers,
which Louise hoped to have stretched
for her own use, and you managed
TO put them on, with a tardy thought
for possible footprints which might
be left on the ground.

CHAPTER XII

At ten o'clock the following morn
ing Sandy Cove smiled peacefully in
The golden sunshine.
Within the decorously shade
drawn library of the Tudor house six
persons were gathered: Mrs. Tudor
herself, her niece Fay, Captain War
rem, Kenneth Clayton, Sheriff Hulse
and Sergeant John Barry. The lat
ter was seated at the long magazine
table in the center of the room with
a sheaf Of notes spread out D fore
him, and it was toward him that all
eyes were directed. None appea,ed
to notice the pasteboard boxes Of
various sizes which thanked the no,es
upon the table, and certain it WAS
that none save the sheriff and Barry
himself knew that outside the door
two husky constables waited with Il
big-framed bettle-browed woman for
the signal to add themselves to the
gathering.
'rhe sheriff and have asked you
to meet us all together" began Bar
ny, pleasantly enough, Gin order that
we may tell you the result Of OF. in
designations of yesterday into the
death of Miss Laurel Tudor. 1t was
murder, of course, but her death was
never intended. You All know the
method by which the crime was COM
niitted, but what | think that none
of YOU know is that the carbon mon
o. le was meant not for her but for
her cousin, and the fact that the two
young ladies changed beds during the
night was all that saved Miss Fay
Tudor from the fate melted out to
her, although it rebounded upon an
innocent victim innocent in that she
had aroused no enmity in the breast
Of the murderer. When said that
'nGne' of you knew this, | meant
none except one, for the guilty per-
son is in this room at the present
momentW
Fay sat clutching the arms of her
chair tightly, but she made no out
ward move and her eyes never left
the face Of the detective. Clayton
growled a sudden exclamation, but
Captain Warren sat immovable, al
though slight flush crept upon his
cheek. Mrs. Tudor started to her
feet with swift cry.
please sit down, Mrs. Tudor"
Barry's tones were sympathetic but
firm. 81 know how you must be
feeling at this moment, but | shall
not keep you long in suspense.
"Some time between three and
four O'Clock in the morning the muir
derer started to enter the room where
the two young ladies were asleep, car
rying in one hand the receptacle con-
tanning the carbon monoXide, and in
the other an electric torch. This per-
son dared not turn on the lights in
the room for fear of waking one or
the other of its occupants, in spite
of the fact that they had both been
heavily drugged. On the threshold,
by miracle of fate, perhaps, the
electric torch went out!
"The low light at the farther end
of the hall did not penetrate the
room, but the murderer had gone too
far to retreat now, for already the
fumes of the poison gas were escap-
ing from the faulty, hastily con-
structed container. Putting it down
upon the floor just outside the door
