STATE DIVISION OPINIONS.
Diversity of Interests Of tho North an

Diversity of Interests of tho North and
south. Y.s
The Citrogrsph is out strong for state
division, and in a dispassionate way dis
cusses the subject from the standpoint
of diversity of interests of the north
and south" If there were no other rea-
sons why the state should be divided
and the unequal legislative representa-
ton of the two districts and the feeling
OF jealousy against the south for her
rapid advance and unquestionable rich
ness in resources and developments fur
nish strong arguments = these are
enough, we would say, to enlist the eff
forts of the south to secure state divi-
sion. There is no good reason why the
south should be longer chained to the
north and handicapped in the develop
ment of her resources, and the sooner
the people of the south, and especially
the press, take hold of the matter in
earnest, the sooner it will be accom-
plished. There seems to be but little
doubt in the, minds OF the people that
the state should be divided, but the time
to commence to advocate such measure
ia what seems to mystify them. Will
the Los Angeles Times kindly tell it's
state division readers when the prsper
time, in it's judgment, is most likely to
Gomez We can see no reason why the
present year of grace isn't good enough.

The Claims of Age Made for Luis
Ptcon.
Yuma Times. The very Oldest inhab-
liant of this part of the country made
the Times a call last Monday. Luis
Picon claims to be 10S years old, and he
looks every year of it. He is native Of
San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and when he
first passed through Arizona 81 Years
ago was soldier in the Mexican army.
The detachment he was with marched
to Monterey. Cal. Two or three years
later Sefior Picon returned over the
same route. While not exactly able to
skip rope or walk 20 miles day, he
still gets around with the aid of q cane.
At the time of his first visit to this
country Senior Picon says the Gila river
ran between the hills where the town
now stands. His memory seems quite
good and he expresses himself huently
in his native language, speaking no
English. While he may not be so old
as he claims, yet there is no doubt that
Senior Picon is very old man.

HERE'S THE LATEST.

The Banning Hersld's Snake Editor
Gets in His Work.
Martin Urton and Win Meadows tell
the champion snake story of the season,
says the Banning Herald. While in the
fields last week they heard commo-
ton in the grain and soon saw two
snakes writhing and twisting in mortal
combat. On closer view it proved to be
a rattlesnake aud red racer fighting for
dear life.
The racer had the rattler's neck in
his mouth and was making an heroic
effort to swallow him. They struggled
for some time, and at last the rattle
snakes head began to disappear down
the throat of the racer. He twisted and
ratified furiously. but of no avail;
he was ''strictly in it" with
vengeance. When about two-thirds of
the RATHER had disappeared the two men
caught both snakes and tried to take
them to town, but the racer became
angry at being disturbed, and after sew
eral efforts at last disgorged his rspsst.
A few people have stated that red
racers would kill and swallow rattle
snakes, but this is the first we'll anthem
ticated case the Herald has knowledge
of. Both men are willing to swear to
the fact, and as they are neither of them
drinking men the snakes they saw were
not in their boots.
The rattlesnske was about two feet
long, and the other was about four.

Another way. and one OF tha aimnles

Another way, and one of the simplest
OF the many pretty ones, ie TO have Just
a gathering in epsulette style on the
tops of the shoulders, to give the re-
quired full effect at the tops OF the arms,
and yet not to interfere with the con-
tour OF the bust and waist. From this
simple beginning you may 90 on and on,
and off and off. The epaulette pieces
may come from under straps of ribbon
that go over the shoulders. The straps
may be connected across the chest and
back by more ribbon, from under which
falls more lace, continuous with the ep-
aulettes, thus giving the bodice a square
yoke effect, the yoke being outlined by
the fan of the lace. Even this simple
effect can give several impressions. II
the bust line IL deficient you will have
the lace across the front fall very full
and reach right in front OF the waist line
or little below, while il narrows up to
the shoulders. If the bust line is full
the lace will hang less full, 80 that the
contour can be seen through, and it will
be shaped little differently. A very
handsome example of this sort is shown
in the second picture. The toilet there
represented is suitable for small recep-
tiona and concerts, and is made Of pink
and scarlet plaid, changeable silk, and
trimmed with cream colored lace. The
waist is slightly gathered like blouse,
and has square yoke OF the silk taken
bias, trimmed with fo1nce OF lace,
long in front and back, but shorter over
the shoulders. The seam joining the
lace to the yoke is covered with velvet
ribbon fastened with rosettes, as shown
In the picture.

A CENTURY PLANT.
Ono Is About to Bloom at a NordhoT
Ranch.


Ono Is About to Bloom at Nordh0H
Ranch.
tThe Ojai.l
On the grounds Of Mr.. E. f. Bakers
beautiful place in Nordhof are growing
two century plants. which were planted
10 years ago by Mr.. John Mont
gomery. then owner of the place. One
of the plants has sent up shaft about
25 feet, and is about to bloom ;
and after its seeds have matured its
mission will have been fulfilled and it
will do as all things of this earth must
die. Curious to know how rapidly the
shaft was growing, Mr.. Baker has kept
watch of it;-one day 1t grew nine
inches in height, and on another day
seven inches.
What we term the century plant is a
species of the agave, "a. Americana),
the maguey of the Mexicans. 1t Is
wrongly called aloes The word agave is
OF Greek derivation, and means NOBLE"
''illustrious. The name century
plant" originated in an incorrect opinion
that it bears no flowers till it hsa at
tanned the age Of 100 years. 1t is native
of tropical America, whore it's life is not
generally much over 10 years. Strange
as it may ssem at first thought, the
colder and severer the climate the longer
the plant lives-or, the more time it re-
quires to do its allotted work of matur-
ing seed. 1t sometimes lives rs years.
When the century plant blossoms bud
rises from the crown of thick and fieshy
spiny- toothed leaves, sometimes length
ening at the rate OF over foot day into a
scape from 20 to 80 feet high, bearing a
panicle of greenish-yellow flowers, some
times as many as 1000 in number. In
Mexico, just when the flower stalk ii
ready to appear, the natives cut away
the bud and scoop out the center; into
this sweet sap, which would have sup
ported the rapid growth, is abundsntly
poured. This sap lie evaporated into
sugar or syrup, or fermented into kind
OF beer or cider called pulque, the favor
tie beverage in Mexico. Just here we
are reminded of the experience of a
tenderfoot from the United States in
Mexico, who was induced to taste pull
que. He said sit looked bitter, tasted
yellow, but it brought the drunk all
right enough" From pulque strong
ardent spirit (mescaD 10 obtained by
distillation.
The agsve is useful for other things
besides drink. The sharp, hard spines
on the ends of the leaves-so dangerous
to unwary persons or animals who run
into them-are used for needles. The
leaves yield strong fibre used for
thread. A tough paper or parchment is
also made from the leaves, and the wood
has many uses, one OF which Is for PIN
cushions, which are sometimes made
from it and sold to curiosity hunters,
the same as those made from the big
trees, (sequoia gigantes). 1t is said the
plant has valuable medicinal properties,
especially as an antedote for the bite OF
poisonous insects and snakes.
Mr.. Baker had almost made up his
mind to cut down his century plants,
but now is glad he did not, as they are
curiosity to 80 many people.

FOUR CURIOUS OLD CANNON,
Which Have Figured in Many
Revolutions.
And Now Rest in Rusty Peace as In
teresting Relics.
rhey Were First Sent Ont TO California
by the spanish Government to
Protect the Coast Against
the Pirates.

Visitors to Los Angeles, have per-
haps noticed two cannons planted at
the corner OF Main and Commercial
streets, muzzle downward; also two old
smooth-bores on guard ct the court
house doors.
These on guard are as harmless as
those reversed" In the earth at the
corner of Main and Commercial streets.
The latter were planted at this corner,
about twenty-five years ago, to protect
the pavement from vehicles.
These old pieces have varied his
tory: They figured in every Mexican
revolution in California; also in the
American conquest.
In 1878, Bouchard. the pirate, visited
the coast. The country was practically
protected and the piratical craft visited
Monterey, burned the custom-house,
sacked the village, and then came back
to the Refugio ranch, above Santa
Barbars, doing considerable dam
age there. The vessel next
landed at san Juan Capistrano, and
after plundering the mission sailed away
and was never heard of again in Cali
fornia. The Spanish government now
sent out some cannon to protect the
coast, and these four cannon are some
of those sent. From the time of Mex
ico's independence. in 1921, to that OF
the American occupation in 1916, there
were perhaps dozen revolutions and
eounter-revolutions between the nor
tenos (northeners) and sureflos (south-
erners), and the capital OF the territory
was moved either north or south, owing
to the residence OF the victorious "pro-

PAT HALPIN's DEATH.

A Nan Who Has Needed Killing for Ten

ST see by The Republican that Pat
Halpin was killed at the Needles day

"a couple OF months afterward l ran

to anything, but 1t looked rich. II was

thought of looking for it, and the report

thought his bluff had gone. To give
me a good start he put his hands on
his gun. My partner stepped out from
behind the rock, at the same time re-
questing Mr.. Halpin to elevate his
hands. They went up like lightning,
which proved that he was man OF
great presence of mind. If he had been
slow in comprehending my partners re-
mark to him he wouldn't have died at
The Needles.
"We disarmed him and after apollo
giving for his former unfriendly manner
he climbed down the cliff and we saw
him no more.
''He was small man but little more
than four feet in height, but he was con-
sidered dangerous and pains were gener-
ally taken to leave him alone. 1t wss a
great game of his to bluff miners away

consequently somewhat clumsy, travelled
in an opposite direction.
The children say they know the Kid
and are not mistaken as to his identity.
They report him armed with a Win
chester, having two belts of cartridges
and pair of new drawers strapped TO
his person, which he said he bought in
Globe. He also was equipped with
field glasses. The stolen souaw is re-

other bucks, was here In pursuit, on

with lace six and half inches in width,
