Prosperity in Bees
Phenix Herald.

MT. Wm. Osborn who is in the business in this valley, informs Herald reporter that he has taken twelve tons
 of strained honey from 182 hives of bees
 this season and expects to take fully five tons more. All this work he has done himself with the assistance of his wife and boy. His outlay for sheds, hives and extracting machinery has been about $90O, all of which has been paid for this season, or in other words, the capital in vested has brought return of 100 per cent this year, which is not a bad thing in itself As beekeeper MT Osborn is jubilant at the success even after ship ping the honey to Chicago for market

PALM TREES.

The traveller on the Southern Pacific railway may obssrYe something dark and lndehnable against the barren and dis tant hills near Indio. On investigation this will prove to be forest of thousands of wild palm trees, the fine Washingtonia tilifera, which has become so characteris- tic of Southern California gardens. Here they grow naturally in the greatest lux uriance, some attaining an estimated night of over 100 feet Thousands of others exist in the deep and rugged oafions. where they assume proportions as yet unequaled anywhere by this fayorite Cal ifornia fan palm where it is in cultivation.
 The presence of these trees here in their thriving condition naturally suggests the adaptability of the country for the date palm, which, l believe. is destined to prove an important factor ill the future deyelol- ment of this region. The wild palm has provided past generations of Indians with the means of existence ill its small, sweet, black fruit the date may support many future generations of our own race Its success can scarcely be doubted in the face of experience with the date in South ern California and Arizona.
 IRRIGATING ARID LANDS.
 No greater problem is before the Amer jean people to-day than how they shall treat our arid lands, All portions of the arid regions of the West are capable of the highest degree of cultivation The key of the situation is irrigation No part of the vast area termed arid in the West will prove Iaore susceptible to kind treatment than the now feveLish, parched, drear waste exceeding 5.001,00O avres in ex tent designated on modern maps as the Colorado Desert.
 It is evident that the sea occupied this basin during the Pliocene epoch up to a late date, for fossils unquestienably bee

 At Salton, station few miles farther east on the railway, the fresh-water shells are found in countless numbers, on the surface of the plain, which evidently once formed the bottom of a lake. These fos- sils are all in semi-fossil or semi-silici- fled condition, and are often drifted into windrows, where they may be scraped up by the quart.

 Or sea is well defined along the railway at the base of the mountains, and can easily be traced, always at the same lev el, for miles and miles along the eastern base of the San Jacinto and Chuckawalla mountaip chains. The rocks are worn and rounded up to this line, sharp and ragged above. This line is even with the present sea level, which would seem to suggest that instead of having been a fresh-water lake, this was formerly an arm Of the sea, and indicates that the Gulf of California onre extended fnlIy POO miles farther to the northward than it does to-day.

COLOR OF CIGARS.

Meaning of the Words Ciaro. Colorado,
Maduro and Oscuro.
One of the most interesting things to
is to study the simple little brands on
the ends OF the cigar boxes in the
tobacconists' stores, and wonder how
many Iof the people who use the con-
tents Enow the meaning of the words
''claro," etc. Nowadays smoker calls
for a light, medium or dark-colored
cigar as his fancy dictates. To the
dealer, however. there is nicer and
more exactmethod of naming the shade.
''Claro," for instance. stands for the
lightest shade of all, and is mostly found
in the cheaper grades of two-fers. About
the palest in color of the ordinary cigar
is the Colorado" Then comes Colo
RADIO Maduro, next "Maduro," and last
ly ''Oscuro,' which is the darkest, heavi-
est cigar made. The Colorado Maduro"
and "Maduro" shades are the most
sought for in the best grades of domestic
cigars, while consumers of imported
brands run to ''Maduro'' and sOscuro.p
Itseems difficult to get really good i'm.
ported cigar that is not dark-colored.
All of them are strong and while many
men affect the darkest, high-priced
kinds, believe that few of them really
enjoy them. AS good cigar as any man
need smoke can now be bought for ten
and fifteen cents. A few experts may
find value and solace in a tiD-foil
covered twenty-fve-cent weed, but
when any thing over a quarter is paid 1t
is money thrown away for ornaments
like tin-foil, band, fancy Innings to box,
etc At present prices of tobacco and

fifty cents in one cigar unless he folds

The Standard:
The impression made upon the public
mind by the conference of single tax
men held in this city last week is indi-
Gated in the reports and comments OF
the daily press.
But even to those of US who have
known the movement from the begin
ming and who, being at the center, as it
were, have been most fully apprised of
its wonderful spread and of the zeal and
devotion it is arousing, this gathering
was revelation of strength.
But tho difficulties of bringing togeth-
er men from all parts of so wide coun-
try at such large personal expense, in q
gathering involving no business interest
or pecuniary return, and having no Of
fees to nominate for, no political pro-
gramme to make, no honors to bestow,
have all along seemed to me so great that
have been timid about national con-
ference. and whenever it has been propos-
ed have favored putting it oil. This con-
ference owes nothing to my exertion or
influence. 1t is the work, in my absence,
of more sanguine men, and its great sue
cess has amply indicated their judg.
ment and faith.
The effect of this gathering upon the
single tax movement in the United
States can not fail to be most important
and most happy. Confident as we may
have been before, we are all more con
1dent now. The bringing together o.
so many earnest and intelligent mer
from all parts of the country has given
them knowledge of each other, and a
faith and pride in each other. which
inspire new hope and fresh zeal. And
while it has shown as that the move
ment was even stronger than we imag-
ined, the conference has given to the
general public a clearer idea of our pur-
pose, and more intelligent comprehen-
sion of the progress our principles are
making.
One of the indications of this is in the
numerous press comments which assume
that we have abandoned our original ex.
travagances and have become more rea-
sonable. The truth is that We stand
precisely where our feet were first
planted. The change is in public opin-
fon- What then seemed extravagant
bow seems more reasonable, because II
eaas become familiar and is better un.
derstood. And just as our work of edu
cation progresses, SO will our principles
appear more and more reasonable &<

them. But so long as men face right
we need not. to use Mr.. Garrison's sim
lie, quarrel with their impression

taking for public use that value which
attaches to land by reason of the growth

make the holding of land Improbable

possible for Spectators and monopolists
to hold natural opportunities unused or

HONoKAA MURDER CASE.

The Four Defendants Found Guilty Of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Passed.
A private letter from Hilo dated
May 10th and written hurriedly, was
received by the barkentine Amelia
yesterday. The vessel came in bal
last and brought no regular mail.
The murder trial was ended either
Thursday or Friday, letter does not
state which. The verdict must have
been manslaughter in I'd degree
against j. r. Mills and T. Steele, who
were sentenced each to nine years
Imprisonment at hard labor. The
other two defendants, Blabon and
Watson must have been found guilty
of manslaughter in the Sd degree, as
they were sentenced as follows:
Blabon to five years and Watson to
four years imprisonment at hard
labor. The letter also states there
were two other criminal cases tried
before the vessels leaving, one for
perjury and the other for liquor sell
ling. In these the defendants were
acquitted. Hon. Paul Neumann de-
Tended in both cases. There was no
session on Saturday, the Court and
members of the bar prefering to
have rest after the murder trial, to
begin fresh on the 18th.

A GREAT SUCCESS.

The Bijou Comedy Company in "Lyn-
wood" at the Opera House.
Yesterday evening the Bijou Com
edy gave most excellent perform
ance of "Lynwood," a drama
founded on the war of the rebellion.
There was a good audience in at
tendance and everyone was more
than satisfied with the efforts of the
various members of the company.
The performance was benefit for
Miss Lizzie Lingham and Miss Lille
Atwood. The former lady is fine
actress, and on this occasion. as
Lucilly Carlyle, she showed to great
advantage. Her acting throughout
was superb. Miss Atwood, as Miss
Gay, gave capital representation of
the character. Kate "a spy was
cleverly taken by Miss Eberle. Mr..
Roberts deserves much credit for the
manner in which he took the part of
Victor Blanchard. The confession
was we'll done. Much amuse-
ment was caused when D. M.
Crowley appeared as Judge Carlyle.
He looked somewhat stage struck,
but he overcame it after two or three
pulls at mysterious looking bottle.
Lidie West as Dido the negro girl
was capital. Mr.. Frank Cleaves was
quite at home as Dudley Middleton.
It was character that suited him
and was excellently played. The
funny part was E. e. 3. e. G. Carter
and Of course taken by Horace Ew-
ing. This accomplished comedian
was seen at his best. Messrs. F. j.
Atwood and j. G.. Waibel carried
their respective parts well.
Taken altogether it was certainly
the best performance given by the
company, and those who were not
present, missed rare treat. The
stage settings, and particularly in
the third act when there was a camp
and stands of arms on the stage,
were all that could be desired.
Saturday evening the company
will present Black-eyed Susan and
the Rough Diamond, which should
attract full house. .

The Revival Services.

The Central Union Church was
well filed last evening at the first
service of this week of the special
evangelistic services now in progress.
The subject was selected from the
first few verses of the thirty-second
Psalm. The evangelist spoke with
great earnestness in urging men to
forsake sin and accept the Gospel of
the Son of God. At the close Of the
earnest appeal quite a number of
young people rose for prayers, and
several brief testimonies were given.
The usual large chorus choir led the
singing, which was exceedingly in
teresting. The services will be con-
tinued every evening this week in
the church at Z 80 O'Clock.
