GOT A NEW HAT Traveled All Over America to Find Out He Was a Jay. George Alkire is back from New York and he's got a new hat. That Isn't a very startling announcement, but there is an interesting story behind it. "Dad bing it," says Mr. Alkire, "I've trav eled all over this country frora San Diego to Boston and from Blllville to Casey's Corners, and on this last 'trip was the first time I was ever taken for Uncle Abner from Podunk, or rather it was the first time I ever play ed, the role unwittingly, took the bait like a minnow and was helped off thi hook by an old Englishman whom I thought looked a good deal more like a jay than I did." Mr. Alkire left here some time ago for New York to buy the spring stock for the Alkire company. He went t-j the toast first, then north to British Columbia, east via the Canadian Paci fic to Port William, on Lake Superior, and from there by boat to Toronto, thence to the city. When he left he wore his big white cowboy hat. His brother Frank told him that as he was going to town he had better get a new sky piece or he would be taken for in nocence abroad. But he intimated that he had been on earth long enough to know how to take care of himself, and thought there would be no difficulty in buying goods in a cowboy hat if he wanted to so long as he had the money to pay for them. Hardly had he taken the boat on Lake Superior when a well-dressed gentleman presented his card bearing the name of McCormlck and represent ing, so he said, the McCormick Imple ment Manufacturing company. Ac quaintance ripened into a closer friend ship and Mr. McCormick, sizing him up for an honest farmer, began talking about crops and harvesters. Later Mr. Alkire was shaved by the boat's barber, and after telling his new friend that he never suffered worse torture in his life the latter invited him to his state room to see a patent safety razor he had, in the ownership of which every man could be his own' barber. Then he showed him his good clothes and grew generally confidential till the subject, cf bridge whist came up and a game was proposed. Mr. Alkire's Innocence of cards is all that saved him his wal let. He gently but firmly declined to play and eventually they went on deck again. Shortly after they separated a real farmer from up in the northwest set tlements called Mr. Alkire aside and inquired if he knew the identity of his well dressed friend. George told him it was "McCormick, the fellow that makes all the harvesters for us farmers." "The devil It is," said the Englishman; "his partner over there by the rail is old man Arbuckle that makes all the coffee and the two of 'em just skinned me out 'of $20 at bridge whist." The chief officer of the boat was in terviewed and the two captains of in- 1887 I Ea ?Vh .

Wholesale Dealers. dustry were put ashore at the next stopping place. In the meantime Mr. Alkire wrestled hard with the spirit to keep from throwing them overboard. When the end of his journey was reached he was the first man off the boat and he immediately cut for a trail leading to a hat store. Aside from this incident, Mr. Alkire says he had a splendid trip. His great est interest was aroused during the railroad journey from British Colum bia east. He says for hundreds of miles the scenery is Incomparably more beau tiful than any it had been hi3 privilege to gaze upon before. He was not alone In its enjoyment, for nearly everybody on the train was gazing out the win dows moet of the time instead of being engaged in the usual employments of travelers. The prettiest thing he saw was an American flag when he got back across the line. It never looked so good be fore, for the British .emblem nad been staring him in the face several times in a way that made him feel homesick. He had several opportunities to no tice how ridiculous little acts of patri otism sometimes appear when viewed from the standpoint of a disinterested party. At one little depot he saw a big stone with a fence around it ana a Yo llceman standing guard. He asked the officer if he was afraid the stone would get away or why he was guarding it so closely. "I'd have you understand, sir," the guard replied, "that that stone was planted by the Prince of Wales," and when Mr. Alkire laughed the guard be came very angry. The northwest policemen, he says, are very pretty to look at, but not half so dangerous as they are painted. He says they are mostly clothes, wearing blue pants, red coats and a little hat that makes them look like the dressed mon keys that travel with a hand organ, though he means no disrespect to the policemen or to the government. Hut altogether he Is greatly impressed with the northwest. It not only has pic turesque scenery of mountains, rivers, glaciers, tall timber, etc.. but it is rich in natural resources that with enter prise and capital will some day very generally attract the attention of the world, and the people he met were hos pitable, intelligent, healthy and am bitious. o MAJOR M'CLINTOCK HOME Announces Improvements in Postof fics Service This Winter. Postmaster J. H. McClintock returned home yesterday morning after a month's visit on the coast, which h? says was the most enjoyable trip he ever made to California. He spent the greater part of the time in San Fran cisco and its suburbs and at Stanford, where Mrs. McClintock is and expects to remain for a couple of weeks more. Mrs. McClintock, as is well known, is a professional botanist, and she is spending her summer both pleasantly and profitably. Early in the summershe went to the Yosemite valley, making quite an extended stay and securing a fine collection of plants. She is now at work classifying and arranging them with the help of Dr, Dudley, who is at the head of the botany department of the university, and who is a botanist of wide reputation. En route home Major McClintock vis ited the various Southern California beaches and spent a few days In Lo3 Angeles. He says the present summer has been the most prosperous one that 5 to The time is rapidly approaching when the is the first installment of this season's San Francisco ever enjoyed and the most prosperous year Los Angeles has ever seen except during the boom of 1887. Property values are advancing and the town is full of strangers, while houses and rooms are scarce. The Knights of Pythias returning from San Francisco were loud in praise of the hospitality shown them in both cities. During his absence the major has taken advantage of every opportunity to study poiHoffices, and he says he has seen some things of advantage that will be incorporated in the local service the coming winter. He expects that within three months new fixtures and new equipment will be placed in the Phoenix postoflice and in the matter of service he proposes to make it second to no office of Its size in the country. o THE HAIR BRUSH. Breeds Dandruff, lng Hair and Which Causes Fall Finally Baldness. Professor Unna. Hamburg, Germany, European authority on skin diseases, says that dandruff is as contagious as any other malevolent disease, and that one common source of the spread cf dandruff is the use of the same hair brush by different persons. The way to avoid catching dandruff or any other disease from another's brush is to in sist on the use of Newbro's Herpicide. It not only kills the dandruff germ, but it is also an antiseptic that will prevent the catching of any disease whatever through contagion of another's brush. Territoria.1 News BILL WILLIAMS FORK. Sam Miller has jest returned from a trip to the Colorado river section., says the Courier. He went down Bill Wil liams Fork and down Striped canyon to the Colorado river. He sa,ys there is a good deal of land under cultiva tion on the Bill Williams Fork and large -rops have been raised this sea son. The crops consist in the main of corn, alfalfa and sweet potatoes. When Sam talked about the sweet potatoes he was perceptibly affected, and dwelt in ecstacy upon their size and flavor. He did some fishing, and saw great flecks of Sonora pigeons. Says the mes quite forests bore an unheard of crop of beans this season; that the beans can be seen piled on the ground under the trees from two to six inches deep. The grass is good, and this, with the big supply of beans, gives a great abundance of feed for stock. With tho Indians the mesquite bean is an articlt of food. Sam reports a good deal of mining going on in that Immediate vicinity, although the 'main market for most of the produce is at Congress. He referred especially to James Rose berry's mine, below Striped canyon, on which mine a shaft has been sunk to a depth of 240 feet, and a big force of men will soon be put on. It is a gold, sil ver and copper property. He also re ferred especially to Mr. Tiffany's ranch. Mr. Tiffany has nearly 200 acres under cultivation, and Sam avers that many of the sweet potatoes are as long as hi arm: that the soil is so mellow the po tatoes are easily pulled up and the sun so hot that they will bake nicely if left on the ground for an hour or so. TOMBSTONE RAILROAD. Contractors Robinson and Toohey have started work on the grade for the new railroad on their contract, which starts at a point near the foot of CVmstock hill and where they have already finished a mile of the grade and turned it over to the surfacing gang. Their contract continues on up through Tombstone and as far south as the mines, which will be the ter minus of the road until the connection is eventually made with the main line at College Peak. They have every available horse, scraper, etc., at work, and a visit to their portion of the grade reveals a scene of activity that guar antees the iron horse to Tombstone at a very eaily date. During his trip along the line th Prospector's man stopped at the camp of Orman &Crook, who have the con tract for that portion of the grade that runs through the granite hills and is in charge of Sub-Contractor Frank dremi Misses Black Hose. which usually sells at New Are just beginning to ar rive.
