OUT ON BOND.
JOHN JOHNSTON RELEASED FROM
JAIL SATURDAY,

His Case Was Continued by the State, and
Judge Hunt Allowed Him to Give
Bond in the Sum of 81, 900.
John Johnston, who was brought
from Texas two weeks ago to stand trial
for killing Jim Wall five years ago, is
now pleasantly located at his brother
home several miles in the country, and
it is maybe that the charge agains.
him will cause him but very little more
trouble.
When his case was called in the supe-
rior court last week the defense announc-
ed ready, but the prosecution asked for
continuance on the ground that they
had not had sufficient time to prepare
for the trial. The continuance was
granted by the court, and the prisoner
was returned to JAIL
Friday afternoon Judge Hunt granted
an order allowing Johnston bail in the
sum of $4,000.
Saturday three gentlemen signed
the bond, the Jail door was unlocked and
the crippled, helpless prisoner was assist
ed down the steps, probably never to re-
turn there again.

AVENGING NEMESIS

Pursues Him--Coincident Illustrations.
From the Early County News.
Though not overmuch given to the
habit OF accepting with blind credulity
all the. utterances which fall from the
pulpit, it nevertheless sometimes happens
that the gems of beautiful thought
which are often scattered broadcast
from the sacred desk find Judgment in
the fallow grounds of Our feeble under

rich soil, grow and flourish with the
bloom of perpetual ineffacable recollec.

coincidence, they are proven or illustra
ted.
A few years ago, while in Texas, it
just so happened at the close of week
of wearisome travel, with a wayfaring
friend, we turned away from the city of
Houston ana run out to spend Sunday
in beautiful Galveston, the Oleander
city by the sea. The day was balmy
and bright, and as we strolled about con-
siderably by the hour of eleven, it again
just SO happened that we dropped into
the old Episcopal church to get a sample
CT Texas preaching.
The minister had already begun his
sermon and was speaking of the won

and tormenung power of memory upon
criminals. Said be; eve do not see

The quince is not so exJensively grown as it should be. Scarcely any fruit in the orchard will pay better, and it is very productive under proper treatment, and always commands fair prices. The quince thriyes best on well irrigated clay soil, get it does pretty well oE most any good sil if properly cared for. Soil should be we'll drained. kept well mulched and mellow uatil well established. Trim out Ill dead and surplus branches. Ten or twelve feet apart is about the right distance for planting which gives, at ten feet, 425 trees per acre.
 The profits from bearing acre of quinccS arc rcry large. The quince is fine dried, preserved. and in many other ways. Mixed in proportion of | ouince to of other fruit it imparts a delicious flavor. The apple or orange variety is most generally planted, and will, perhaps, stand at the head of the list for years to come, though there have been several other varieties brought forward asking for favor.

raKIoArIso ARID LANDS.
Wonderful Productivsness Of the Reclaimed
 Region.

The many thousands of square miles of land in the western half of the United States, says the Scientific American, which can be profitably cultivated only with the aid of irriga- tion, are now becoming more and more, each year, the subject of careful investigation. both by the government and and private parties. So much of the readily available and ordinarily good farm land of the public domain has already been taken up that pros pectors in almost every section are finding their choice limited to making a selection in some place where more or less irrigation will be necessity, with promise of good reward therefor, or the acceptance of loca- tion where the disadvantages more than outweigh the want of a sufficient amount of water The wonderful pro- ductiye lands of Southern California, where the rich soil is of such depth as to be deemed practically inexaussi- ble, and the climate is such that2 and even 3 crops can be raised in year, have been made available almost cx- cluaiyely by irrigation, and there is no doubt that, over large portion of the lands now arid, it needs but the efficient conservation and distribution of water flowing from adjacent noun tain ranges to create areas of the highest productiyness.
 With the view of promoting inteli- gent work on a general system, this matter has formed the subject of ex- tended investigations by the United States geological survey, although it is not proposed that the government shall undertake to carry out irrigation projects at public expense further than by the allotment of lands which may be benefited thereby to the state governments making such improve mants.

Total cost for tso years.

The orchard vill bear some fruit the second year and should bear enough the third year to pay for it's care and interest on the investment. After the third year the orchard may be considered in full bearing and will yield, either in peaches or apricots, five tons per acre on an average. If apricoty are planted this will equal one ton of dried fruit to tie acre, or ten toEs for the orchard. The peaches at the came number of tons would average seven to one unpeelcd and four to one peeled. Easing the value of the crop on the prices that pre- ailed last season the yield would be s226 or s2, 250 for the ten acres.
 A conservative oTchardist, who has kept strict account with his orchard says that two and one-half cents per pound wi,l cover the cost of the dried product of his orchard, including in- tcrest on the investment. At last seasons prices this would leave ar average net profit per pound of nine cents, or say sl 800 for the ten acres. A net annual profit of ST 800 on an investment of g., zoo is certainly sufi- cient, and accounts for the great revi- val in the planting of deciduous fruit trees.
 In Southern Arizona the above given figures will bear no little revision. In the Arizols colony tract the ten acres may be bought for one thousand dol : lars or less, according to location. The saving in the cost of land will reduce the interest account as above set forth, fully two hundred dollars or more. The other items are about the same. With these deductions it will be seen that less than two thousand dollars will do better in Southern Arizona than more than three thousand will do in California. THE OASIS.
