Dual Southern City.

NJ. Foreman, recently appointed post
master of that city, in conversation
the other day. The line that separates
Texas from Arkansas runs through
the middle of the town, and the total
population, approximately $4,000, is
about evenly divided by the boundary
mark. There are two mayors, of
course, and two distinct city govern
ments, but the dual situation works
without the least hitch or friction. If
a man ON the Texas side breaks State
law and crosses over on Arkansas soil,
he Is arrested by the officers there and
held until reQuisition can be had
from the State authorities, and vice
versa In the great majority Of cases
the man arrested will go back without
troubling the officers to get a requisi-

Fresh Figs For Northern Markets.

Fresh figs are not known or appreci-
ated in northern markets, and conse-
quently the demand is too limited to
encourage shipments. 1t seems doubt
full if the distant shipment of fresh figs
will ever become a profitable business
The fruit is more perishable than any
other that is generally marketed. 1t can
be handled only by the most careful
and experienced persons, and even then
it is not in condition to show its best
quality. Ripening in midsummer, when
the northern markets are crowded with
many we'll known fruits and not being
especially attractive to the eye, fresh
figs would at best gain favor slowly.
The fact that many people do not care
for them at the first would be another
obstacle in the way of their popularity.
Moreover, the fig is tedious crop to
handle when in proper condition for the
market. 1t is necessary to pick the trees
over carefully every day during the sea-
son or much fruit will be overripe.
With large trees this involves much la

A GIANT PUMPING PLANT.
Packers Great Irrigation En-
terprise a Success.
Hundreds of Acres Of Wheat Land Along
the Sacramento River Supplied
With Water.

Pumping plants have been so i'm.
proved in the last few years as to lead
one to hope that in that direction lies |
the solution Of the irrigation question.
George +. Packer, although considered
one of the most conservative men in
the county, has led of in a number Of
things. Some years ago he checke
on some land and put in fiume for
winter irrigation and planted alfalfa.
DE made survey himself to determine
the practicability Of taking the water
out of the river below Stony creek TO
water the river lands, and wanted the
cooperation of some of the farmers
to build the canal. He opposed both
the Colusa and the Central districts
because he did not believe in that plan
and time has shown that he was
wiser in that than many of us. He
wanted to know who was to manage.
Again he comes to the front. The
Hercules Gas Engine Works of San
Francisco has just completed, on his
home place, the largest gasoline pump
ing plant in existence, which will be
used for pumping water from the river
with which to lrrigate several hundred
acres of land.
This plant consists of an S0-horse
power, horizontal single cylinder,
Hercules engine and Krogh Manu-
featuring Company's l5-inch centri-
fugal pump, guaranteed to raise six
thousand gallons of water per minute
twenty-seven feet high. There is also
a smaller pump of four hundred gallons
minute capacity driven by the same
engine. This is for tank purposes.
The engine is arranged to use either
gasoline or distillate oil, and as the
latter is very cheap it will no doubt be
the fuel selected for use. The 20-inch
suction pipe. made of No. 10 steel,
passes through the levee, on an in
cline, into the river, and at its lower
end is large foot valve weighing
twelve hundred pounds.
A 20-inch discharge pipe carries the
water from the pump to head box

There are home duties as well as
pleasures for the children. Boys are re-
quired to look after the ponies, to lend
hand in planting, to help in the har-
vest, and they are often made to do ac-
tive duty as scarecrows in the newly
planted field, where, like little Bopeep,
they fall fast asleep. The girls help to
gather wood, bring water and look after
the younger ones. As they grow older
they are taught to cut, sew and make
garments. In former days, the old Oma-
has say, no girl was considered mar
riageable until she had learned to tan
skins, make tents and clothing, prepare

Inferior sponges In Demand.

There is scarcity in Florida waters
of the best sponge, the ''sheepwool,"
and the returns to the sponge fishers
have been gradually lessening. A like
scarcity in other waters is indicated by
the increased demand for inferior
sponges, which have heretofore been
looked upon as comparatively worth
less. One Of these, the grass sponge, is
very abundant in Florida. 1t is of
coarse texture and has large internal
channels. but has proved to be fair
substitute for the better sponge. A de-
mand for it, both in this country and
In Europe, has resulted in raising Its
price to the fisher from % cents to Sc
cents a bunch. Its gathering is profit
able at 80 cents bunch, and the de-
mand for it has infused new life into q
Florida industry which has been Ian
crushing for seven years.
