FRIDAY
There will be a group of distinguished
visitors in the city tomorrow, accord
ing to a telegram received hy Governor
Campbell yesterday from A. F. Potter,
head of the forestry service of the de
partment of agriculture. The party
will consist of the secretary of agricul
nre, David V. Houston. Hon. Hans
ub.er. Swiss minister to Washington,
ind Madam Sulzer, Mr. and Mrs. Boy
ien of Hoston and Paul Redington of
the forestry service, located at Albu
liicrnue. The party will arrive in the valley
lonight, according to the telegram and
will be entertained at the ranch of It.
P. Davie near Marinette. A tour over
I he valley tomorrow had been arranged
'or the visitors through Dwight B
Heard, and they will leave tomorrow
night for the coast.
o
Prof. S. C. Mason, arboriculturist
from the bureau of plant industry,
Washington, D. C, who has been in the
valley for the past week in conference
with representatives of the state ex
periment station relative to the date
situation, left yesterday afternoon for
Sacaton. Tie will proceed via Casa
Grande to Washington, D. C, tomorrow
morning.
The most important result of Pro
fessor Mason's visit to the valley, fol
lowing a tentative renewal of the 1900
co-operative agreement with the Uni
versity of Arizona, in a considerably
motlified form, concerns the date farm
at Tempo.
"Coder the administration of T. W.
Working, director of the experiment
station, with a number of new men in
various departments in scientific lines,
we look forward to satisfactory results,"
said Professor Mason yesterday.
Speaking of the Tempe date farm,
Professor Mason said:
"We don't think the date industry
lias had a representative chance at
Tempe. While tree growth has been
good and many varieties have produced
abundantly, the nights are cooler than
in the citrus country around the higher
portions of the valley, near the high
line canals. A good many dates have
been ripened but the reason some Of
the choicest varieties have failed to
bring their fruit to complete maturity is
the cool nights and the retarding of
growth by excess of ground water."
Professor Mason cited the date as
perhaps the most sensitive of all fruits
to temperature, mentioning several
varieties of the finer dates in the Su
dan, where he has travelled and studied
extensively, which can not be. grown
in this country, despite a very slight
difference in temperature.
The Tempe date plantation was made
in 1900 and will continue to produce
good dates, but as soon as offshoots
of the finer varieties can be imported
by the bureau of plant industry, they
will be furnishd the state experiment
station for establishing experimental
plots on the higher ground in the val
ley, where frost is not so likely to occur.
Professor Crider. new experiment
station horticulturist, will direct this
work. He, together with Dean Work
ing and Professor Mason. SDent a num
ber of hours at the Tempe farm last
iuonday, and Professors Crider and
Aiason spent two daysm a tour of TTiir
ley, Gilbert, Hanson and the Scottsdale
country, to familiarize Professor Crider
witn tne situation.
The highest temperature in Arizona
for the week ending June 23 was 114,
registered at Yuma. The lowest in the
state was at Flagstaff and Williams,
35. Phoenix' high temperature was 113,
with a minimum of 60.
In north central sections of the state j
both pastures and stock are in goodj
condition, and tho general water sup-;
ply continues good. Where there wast
sufficient spring rain pastures are fair
to good and stock generally good also.
A large part of the range country,
however, has been affected unfavorably
by the continued dry weather, ami it is
believed that a certain amount of de
terioration is inevitable for the rest of
the month, when the rainfall is usually
very lightj
The alfalfa and wheat harvest is pro
gressing under the most favorable cir
cumstances. Spring wheat and oats in
the north look good, but the potato
acreage this season is smaller in that
section because of difficulty in mar
keting experienced last season.
The hot weather has favored the
ripening of cantaloupes in the Salt
River valley- The June drop of citrus
fruit is less than usual, due to more
frequent cultivation and the planting of
cover crops.

The commission of state institutions
yesterday afternoon opened bids for the
construction of a girls' dormitory at
the state industrial school at Fort
Urant. The specifications call for con
struction either of concrete or hollow
.He. There were three bids all by Tuc
son contractors, at $76,417; $74,649 and
JliS.940.
This building had been made neces
sary by a fire which destroyed the dor
mitory shortly before the adjournment
Df the legislature, and an appropriation
if $25,000 was made. According to the
plans of the commission for the devel
opment of the group of buildings there,
hat sum was insufficient and it was
decided to take from the fund for other
ronstruction at the school as much as
night be needed for the kind of a build
ing desired.

NEW IDEA COMES IN
PHOTOPLAY PROGRAM
It will be welcome news to the photo
play fans of Phoenix to know that this
city is to be in a class with all the
larger cities of the east in the presen
tation of all the new ideas in the mo
tion picture industry. Mr. Mauk and
Mr. Dickensen of the Columbia theater
have just completed arrangements with
C. H. Coyle of the film clearing house
for the showing of the latest and great
est creations in silent drama. "The
Rothapfel Unit Program" will be the
first of the new ideas and will be shown
at an early date.
In explaining the idea of the Rotha
pfel program, Mr. Coyle states that
Samuel A. Rothapfel, director general
of the Rivolli, Rialto and Strand the
aters of New York City, conceived the
thought that the production of a com
pletely balanced program should be the
next step ahead in this wonder art,
and having attained recognition as the
dean ot all exhibitions, he forthwith
sets out to produce an artistic wonder
program.
The first unit follows out one idea
in the presentation thereof, .and that
is "The Pursuit of Happiness" and has
a complete musical score following out
this thought. The opening of the pro
gram is called "The Wood of Fair
Water" and is a beautiful tribute to
the United Slates marines who made
the supreme sacrifice at Belleau Wood.
This is followed by Massanet's Elegy,
"The Last Hour," and pictures an old
man, who in the last hours of his Ufa
is confronted with all the happiness he
has missed in life, in his desire to ac
cumulate wealth. Following the Elegy
comes the feature. "False Gods," from
the pen of Lloyd Sheldon, and tells the
story of a young architect and his wifa
who have followed "false gods" in their
pursuit of happiness, but they strike
the right idea before it is too late. The
fifth number on the program is an ani-
I mated epigram, followed by the com-
'. edy, "Wild Flowers," something rut of
, Dr. O. H. Brown, former state health I the ordinary, that is bound to please

long eastern trip, during which he at-
taken to the same hospital where
Louise is nursing. During the weeks
that follow, while Michael is in the
dark, Louise takes the place that Trixie
has left and Michael believes that his
wife has changed her attitude and
loves him.
At last the bandages are removed
from Michael's eyes and when te looks
up to clasp Trixie in his arms, he finds
that it is Louise instead. In his great
sorrow he tells Louise to leave him,
but a moment later he begs her to stay
and take the place that Trixie left.

A permit asked by Brandon Brothers
and C. H. Williams to stage and pro
mote a boxing exhibition at the Elks
theater Saturday evening, June 2$; was
denied yesterday by the city commis
sion. The action was taken by a
unanimous vote.
The application for the permit, duly
signed, was read before the commission
about the middle of its regular meet
ing. The commission was immediately
addressed by Commissioner Henderson
who said it was assumed at the time
of granting the first permit to the
Phoenix Athletic club a week ago, that
by granting one permit to a club com
posed of representative business men
of the city, that all future exhibitions
would be held under its auspices. Thus,
the commissioner said, the one club
would be made responsible for any un
lawful acts, and all exhibitions would
be brought under the control of a body
of men. who would present them with
the view of bettering the game. Mr.
Henderson accordingly moved the per- !
mit be denied. !
The motion was seconded hy Com
missioner Irvine and carried unani
mously. o
Throughout the course of the entire
production the various situations,
which at times border on the tragic,
are leavened by a delightTul strain of
natural comedy which lighten prettily
the heavier moments of the drama.
George Loane Tucker, who produced
the picture from the popular novel,
"The Mother," by Eden Philpotts, has
displayed an unusual talent in the
handling of the comedy scenes, all of
which possess a legitimacy and nat
uralness so often absent in situations
of a like nature.
This super-feature opens at the
American tonight for a run of three ,
days. The added comedy feature will
be Marie Dressier in "The Cross Red
Xurse." I

LETTER CARRIERS PICNIC Tho
association of letter carriers held a
business meeting and picnic at East
lake park last night. The social ses
sion ended with a feast on Salt River
valley watermelons.
Riverside Park
The big pool at Riverside park was I
all emptied and thoroughly scrubbed .
and washed last night. It is this morn- I
ing filled with fresh water, heated, and i
all ready for the bathers. This non- j
delay in the filling of the pool after a
cleaning, is quite an innovation, for it i
enables the plunge to be emptied, com
pletely cleaned and scrubbed, and re
filled all during the night.
The program for today includes the
concessions which are running full
blast and, of course, the big pool which
is always open. The evening will bring
the dance at tha pavilion, with Sunny
Clay and his jazz band on hand with
the music. The addition of the violin
has met with popular approval. This
boy is also a saxaphone player, and as
soon as his instrument arrives, the
saxaphone will also be a feature of the
Riverside orchestra.
RETUR
ISFROMIISIT
TO MEDICOS' MEET
"MOTHER" AT AMERICAN
The happy blending of comedy and
pa thos which George Loane Tucker has
so skillfully intermingled in the making
of the McClure Picture, "Mother," has
proven to be one of the strongest points
in favor of the production, according to
the various state right buyers, who
have witnessed a screening of the film.
The story is absolutely devoid of the
usual sensationalism and artificial sit
uations which are encountered in many
of the present-day feature pictures, and
"Mother" relies solely upon its appeal
to the heart and the humanness of the
incidents which constitute the plot.
