AGRICULTURAL WORK
Return of Mr.. MoCIaiChie From The
COAST.

A. J. McClatchie, who returned last
week from a trip to California, gath
cred information from the hOrticul-
tur.sts and agriculture men there
which VIII assist him in his expert
ments at the experimental station. Mr..
McClatchie attended three conventions
in CalifOrnia-the National Education
al convention the National Conven-
lion of F'ore9ters at Los Angeles, and
the convention Of the Association of
American Colleges and Experimental
Stations of America at San Francisco.
The Fores'sers' convention was az
tended by the most distinguished
men in this line in the country. James
Wilson, secretary of agriculture, was
present and was greatly interested in
the work. Through him aid IN this
work may be received from the govern
ment. G. Pinchot, one of the most
noted foresters in the country,
also was in attendance He is max
ing a tour of the west to study the
different conditions under which
trees grow best and he may come to
Phoenix.
Intense interest IS taken in Califor-
mia in forestry and every county in the
state has an active organization. The
reason for this is that the matter of
forestry is closely connected with the
water problem, which for three years
has troubled that section. 1t has been
demonstrated that a growth of trees
on the sides OF mountains is help to
contiguous sections under irrigation.
The trees encourage rainfall. But Gheir
greatest benefit is in preventing floods.
A heavy rain on the side of q mountain
IS likely to cause freshet, but if the
trees are there the water will find its
way 10 the streams gradually and the
flow in the main stream will be more
continuous. Since the cutting Of trees
in northern California floods have oc-
CURED where none had been before.
Mr. McClatchie said yesterday that in
time it is probable that the govern
ment WIFI interest itself in the water
supply of Arizona to such an extent
that trees VIII be planted in many OF
the mountain ranges.
One of the most important things
studied by Mr. McClatchie at Los
Angeles was the growing of the euca-
Iyptus tree. The prime pal supply Of
fuel in California originally was oak
and sycamore. These trees are being
cut now, but the principal source OF
fuel is the eucalyptus, and in few
years the people will rely almost
wholly on them.
Mr. McClatch:e has been employed
by the government to compile a special
work on eucalyptus trees He says
they are being introduced all over the
world. They are being planted ex-
tensiVelv in southern Europe, but in
no country except Australia, its hab-
itat, is it as generally grown as in
this country. Here it grows princi-
paLIy in the southwestern states. It
is owing to this increasing popularity
of the tree that a demand has arisen
for the government to have compiled
a special report.
The eucalyptus is principally val
uable because of its rapid growth.
There is such a number of varieties
that one can be found which IS adapt
ed to nearly any semi-tropica1 sec
tion. The blue gum which fOurishes

THAT Alaska boundary Question.

A special from Washington says that
while hopeful that modus vivendi
with Great Britain respecting the pro-
visional Alaskan boundary will be
settled upon the lines laid down by
Ambassador Choate, there seems to be
some apprehension in official circles
that the London government will de-
mand further concessions. There seems
to be disposition to believe, in view
of Canada's failure to secure port on
the Pacific for her great northwest
territory, that she will urge the Brit
ish government to request of the United
States that all goods imported into the
Dominion from the Alaskan coast be
permitted to go in free of duty, and
that certain zone be set aside through
which the goods could pass without
hindrance This proposition has not
yet been submitted, but it is stated
that if brought to the attention of this
government it will bN Immediately re-
iected, whether the concession desired
be either temporary or permanent.

AS John Il. Holmes, one of the
wealthiest citizens of st. Joseph county

passed between him and his wife. He
pulled his revolver and snapped it sew
eral times but il did not discharge, and
as he was going to try it again the
revolver was snatched from his hand
by his 19.year-old son. Mrs. Holmes
was slightly bruised up where he jab-
bed the point of the revolver against
her face also her hands. He then went
out and remarked that he was going
to the river to drown himself. His
son tried to persuade him not to but
could not. The marshal was called
and overlook him about half a mile
from home and he was brought back.
He then went into his bank and was
noticed to be acting strangely. He
was questioned as to his taking poison
but denied it. He soon had convul-
sions. Physicians were called but
were unable to do anything, as he re-
fused to take an antidote, and died in
a short time. He was man well-liked

Appallinp Disaster In a Mine.

The most appalling disaster in the
history of Cape Breton, c. b., coal min

Glace Bay, the principal colliery of the
Dominion Coal Co., on the 10th, when
two explosions occurred, causing the
death of more than a score of men, in
Guiding Thomas Johnson, the under
ground manager Of the works. The
explosions occurred alta depth of about
three-quarters of mile, and were
caused by gas which had accumulated
in the old workings. The full force of
men employed in the mine at night is
about $50, but the night shift had just
stopped work and all but about 90 had

capital of the Transvaal, for the plan
of campaign which will be followed
by Gen. Joubert, commander-in-ch
of the Beers, in the event of war be-

ser rifles, in addition to 46 quick firing
guns and 200 artillerymen, most of

Dutch armies. With these troops
and help expected from Orange Free

ton of war, enter the Orange Free
State and march on Kimberley, the
British diamond mining center in West

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
