ORANGE GROWING IN PALESTINE.
From The Planters Gazette.


IL Is only OF recent years that Jaffa oranges nave
obtained worldwide reputation for put some
eighteen years since they were scarcely known
save at Beyrout Alexandria and Constant!nople. ~ n
special feature Of the Jaffa orange Is that II WI,
keep thirty forty days and II properly packer
for two and sometimes even three months. Ine
port of Jaffa is surrounded on the land s'de py
orange groves. covering area OF lISO acres, New
orange groves constantly being panted anu
there double as many as there were hfteen 2
years ago Each orange garden contains ABOUT .My
square feet of planted area. equal TO about l.yo
fourth year after planting but II Is estimated that
it takes and sometimes eight years before an an
orange orchard yields q paying crop. During all
this lime and even afterwards. the orchards have
to be watered continually. and this irrigation is the
most difficult and aborious part or the WORK. ule
water having to be drawn by means OF primitive
water wheels from wells dug in the gardens =,
feet and even 100 feet deep. An improved ana
cheaper system of irrigation Is OF paramount I'M
portance as 1t would tend 10 extensive and fertle
plains round Jaffa. becoming in a short space or
time extensive orange groves. would cheapen the
production and would enable the growers ana me
exporters TO compete with the oranges oi o'"e'
countries in European markets.

Maria who had been disturbed at her

the ladder. In about five minutes she

"Now," said Herr B "put it up at
the other end of the room and climb to

Mara did as she was told, and when
she was at the top Herr B quietly

We are still kicking. The re is
scarcely day that ladies and children
are not compelled in going along the
sidewalks to quit the walks and take
to the middle of the street on account
of horses occupying said walks. This
business has become intolerable and
should be remedied by our city council
at once. We have seen half dozen
Indian horses quietly and imperiously
occupying the walks when ladies had
to take the street in order to proceed
at all. The sidewalks were not con-
rtructed for horses to stand upon and
the matter ought to be remedied. If
it is not we shall do some tall cussin'.

About one year ago, Prof. r. H.

About one year ago, Prof. K. IL.
Smith came to this city and rep
resented himself as being a meln-
Der in Iigh standing in the Mormon
church. Being man OF good
education and a teacher of ability,
and in order to assist him, the
managers of the Church Academy
employed him as principal at
good salary. He has been teach
ing the school since that time and
proved himself to be a good educa-
tor. The school closed in June for
vacation and it was expected that
it would open again the lst of
October. In canvasing for the
pupils for the coming term the
school and church authorities were
asLonished that some of the young
ladies, his former pupils, refused
absolutely to attend the school
while Mr.. Smith was in charge
An investigation followed and from
the testimony given before the
School Board, by twelve or four
teen young ladies Mr.. Smith was
deposed. An investigation was
held before the Bishop on Monday
evening, at which only three of the
young ladies testified. This re-
suited i'll his being deposed from
the church. Mr.. Smith claimed
that he had not done anything
that was improper in any manner,
but the community here believe
that the story told by the young
ladies is true, although not so bad
as the rumors on the street had it.
Nevertheless it is bad enough, ac-
cording to the testimony of the
young ladies to justify the retire
ment of Mr.. Smith from school and
church work, at least. A teacher
occupies very responsible position
and should see to 1T that no act
should place a blot, shadow or q
blemish upon the pure minds with
whose instruction he is lntrusted
This affair is an unfortunate one.

Smith is esteemed as an estimahle
lady and the community sympa-
thize with her as she must feel
keenly the blow which has been
given to her home.
