l.. Hasford: The Standard Oil COM
pany is spending more money pros
pecting mineral regions in tins terri
tory than any other company. 1t lis
generally known that the company is
spending a great deal of money near
Clifton. But I think they have spent
about as much in the mountains east
of Congress. I know of one region
there where three moEths ago $4,000
had been spent by the company and a
great deal more must have been APP
propriated since.

Frank ]. Upman, of New York: The
building of the proposed Chinese
Eastern railway is of more importance
to this country Than is generally
known The road will cost at beast
$4,000, 600 and ii is. said in New York
that of the $12,O00.0OO which will be
spent in buying material eighty per
cent of it will be spent in this coun-
try A contract for $3.50 600 worth of
tools has already been let to New
York people. The building of this i'm
portant railway is not calculated TO
lower the prices Of iron. In fact. [ do
not believe the prices will lower ma
terially for more than year at any
rate.
Walter Collingsby of Vermont:
There is a great difference in the Gus
toms here and in the New England
States Every one knows this, but [
doubt it any one knows the extent of
the difference unless ne has been east
recently. The women are fast becom-
ing new women. If one cares to find
the truly effeminate woman he must
come west I don't really mean the
women of the New England states are
not effeminate, but they would appear
not to be to a we9terner. Just now
they have adopted the custom of wear
ing skirts which do not extend below |
their ankles This is not done. 1 !
think, entirely for convenience, but as
a step toward boomers. l don't think /
it will be long before shorter skirts /
Will be universal in this country.
A. Travelling Nam F.oenix is the /
only place in the territory where one
can get a truly good cigar and a
standard quality OF liquor I've been
10 nearly all the towns in Arizona Nand
that feature to me was striking. II
costs little more to buy good qualities

go into these smaller places and run
opposition to the antiquated saloons
they would make money, and please

Eugene J. TrFppG: The smladgtn.:
process of protecting orchards from
frost is the most effective ever tried

sands OF dollars 10 this valley. 1t is
90 expensive to be used in some kinds
:. orchards. but it is valuable TO
)thels. especially almonds. l believe
lave the only almond orchard this year
which has borne fun crop of fruit,
ind this is due wholly to smudging. .
Go not claim the distinction of in
reducing this process. 1t was sug-
rested to me by J. z. Better, who has
