SSoHoMIsH SPoRTs.-The prevailing
fog and smoke are the only drawbacks
to Snohomish City becoming a sporting
center. Last Saturday was the day ap-
pointed for the foot races and base ball
game, but the steamer was lost in the
fog and ran aground, 30 that the pas
sengers had to be transferred to the
Mervin and did not arrive until night
One OF the races was indefinitely post
poned, but Packard beat Tom Bishop
in the 100 yard race, and VIM. Bishop
beat Packard in the 500 yard race. The
most excitement was over a wrestling
match for $40 side, Jack, the mate of

champion, in two straight falls. Other
game are to come of before long.

The Arizona sentinel., 1883-07-28

The. Courier has a Yuma core spondent who is evidently affiict' ed with malady peculiar to in. fants, for which vermifuge i. usually prescribed. AS a liar also, his attainments entItle him to a large share of the handiwork of the fpastry-cook. But as he is evidently an adherend of that sect which carries a red flag fol the second coming of St. .Ormand we are inclined to overlook some of his :untruths, regarding them as more the result of bad diges- tion than willfulness. What he says, however. about our mer- chants refusing to receive license receipts signed by A. Lorette as treasurer, demands emphatic con- tradiction. Mir. Martin refused for a long while to pay his li- .cense for this reason. Other mer- chants thought if MT. Martin was allowed to do business WIth- out license they should have the same privilege; but with pos sibly one exception no one refus- ed to pay the license. MT. Mar tins action made it necessary for the sheriff to seize enough prop ;erty to cover the amount due, which brought him to time. MT. LOrette has qualified as treasurer with an unimpeachable bond, and the people have the fullest conf dence in him. MT. Martins course has been detrimental to all the interests of the county. For the last three months he has not paid school or contingent fund warrant, and these warrants, with money in the treasury, are sold at a heavy discount. MT. LOrette pays all claims according to law, when there is money for that purpose, and conducts his office fO the entire satisfaction Of the people and taxpayers of Yu ma county.
The Arizona sentinel., 1883-07-28

Next month the. money in the various district school funds re- maining uuexpended will be put into the general school fund Of the county. We do not advocate any piece of extravaganza, but recommend our board of School Trustees for this district 10 put a portion of the money into use, and that at once. The great need of Yuma is a good schooi-house. Of course there is not near mon ey enough on hand fer that pur- pose, but a start can be made by the purchase of desirable build- ing sl.e. Purchase q good and .WelI located piece of ground; have water put on it, and com- ,Rence improving the place, so that when there is sufficient money on hand to erect school house, the place 30 improved will be an attractive and handsome acquisition to our village.

States. Our climate, whils it is popularly known as simi-tropic. has only the one characteristic of the trOpics-a mild and balmy at- mosphere. Our agriculturists and horticulturists depend to a great extent upon the cultivation of class of fruits and produce which cannot be grown success
 fully in any other part of the
 United States. The Bureau of Agriculture is powerless when it comes to experimenting upon our productions and 1t can give us little or no authentic information. All it can do is to answer our questions by quoting come prin- ted authority:-and we may re- mark en passant that our farmers are all able to read, and are in a majority of cases great deal better acquainted with the autho- rites quoted than are the heads of the Bureau. They simply give us theoretic information, with which we are already thoroughly familiar. What we want is prac- tical information, and that only comes through experiment.. We need or the Pacific slope garden similar to the one al Washington, for the purpuSe of testing and eX- perimeuting with plants which ar4 supposed to be adapted to our soil and climate. Most of these cannot be grown east of the Rockies; and even with those plants that are successfully raised iu both localities there are many possibilities Ut improvement in the varieties grown here which do not exist else where. We need laboratory 10 especially treat Pacific Coast varieties" if We may use such q term, and that can only come abOu in one way. Establish 8 branch garden in California, in some place that is geographically and climatlcally central, and let our farmers leap the same benefit from it that their Eastern brethern do from the one at Washington. We are glad tO see 8 reneward agitation of this question in the Los Angr- les papers and hope it will extend all over the coast. The benefits which will result to Arizona will be as great as to California, and we hope the Territorial press will take up the theme and insist upon the early establish ment of such an institution.

Hanlon, who lives a little ways below El Rio, has fifteen acres in fruit trees. vines and figs, that are bearing well. He has found market so far in Tucson at first class prices, for all he could raise. MT. Joseph Kinley,
 of this city, has quarter section
 in the same neighborhood, upon
 which he has been resident for
 the past six months. There are quite a number of other settlers in the immediate neigh 5OrhOOd, 7, and more coming Tn all the tune. The Arizona side of the river is equally as good as the California side. It will probably be only a few years till all the arable land along the river to the gulf. is settled by thrifty population and dotted with happy homes.
