CONCESSIONS IN PORTO RICO.

1 Washington, May 1.-The insular Commission, having charge of affairs civil and judicial in Porto Rico, is at work upon the report of it's recent in- vestiSation in that island. The report when concluded will be submitted through the secretary of war to the president, and will, it is expected, in clude comprehensive recommendations for legislative action by congress.
 One Of the most interesting subjects wUich the commission handles is that o. concessions for industrial projects in Porto Rico. There has been a great deal Of discussion of this question, and it is said that false impressions have been created in some quarters IS to lthe commissions future action in this regard.
 It may be stated right now" said member of the commission to a re- porter today, that no concessions will De granted in secret or through dis cr1m1natiOn or favor. The commission will award concessions to the bidders. who, in the judgment of the board, can fulfill their obligations to the best in terests of the island and the govern ment. All applications will be fairly considered and weighed by the com mission .'
 VIII any aWards be made very soon?''
 There is no need to hurry, and yat 1t may be advisable to expedite some kinds of work which will give employ ment to the people and start up the in dUstries. The commissioner will de. eide what roads should be built and will give the contracts to those who seem able to do the work most satis- factorily.'
 Are there any ugly problems to be solved with regard to claimants fo: concessions made prior to the as- sumption of American control of the island?"
 'fNot to any appreciable degree. The case of a French railway concession is under iconsidera tion and investigation. but it will be adjusted iE due time ani with proper regard to the rights of all concerned. There seems to be rn prospect of international com plications upon this or any other concession

ARIZONA FRUIT GROWERS
A Meeting Preliminary fo inc Form Ing of Cooperative Association.

An interesting and enthusiastic
 meeting Of fruit growers of the valley was held in the rooms of the Arizona Live Stock association yesterday. The object was the consideration Of the adVisability of forming an crganiza- tion for the purpose of marketing fruit oil the cooperative plan. The principal feature of the meeting was an abe address by Professor A. k. Sprague, president of the Southern California Deciduous Fruit exchange, who had come to the valley to explain the workings Of the exchange and all in the organization of an affiliated ex- change in this valley.
 Professor McClatchie of the agri- cultural experimental station was chosen chairman, and Charles W. Pugh of the Stockman, secretary. Professor McClatchie in introducing Professor Sprague, spoke of the good work done by the latter gentleman in organizing, in the face of obstacles and prejudice, the fruit interests ot southern California and of the great success of the exchange in that region.
 In introducing the subject Professor Sprague spoke of the importance of all the fruit districts of the west ac1- ing in harmony, since all had interests in common. In illustrating this point he mentioned the way the producers of prunes in Oregon and Washington 'Irsi1f 1emOraliZed the market last year because they did not cooperate will the growers in California He said They were totally urprepared to han de their output to advantage and were consequently the prey of every bucca. neering fruit buyer that came their way. Buyers know the conditions ai all times, but the fruit growers, acting independently, are as a rule quite Is nOrant of the real conditions of the market"
 In speaking of the recent organiza tion of the raisin industry and the conditions existing before organiza- tion, he said: There was consterna- tion among the raisin growers, and they were about to give up the busi ness when some courageous soul said, Boys. let us try it once more. We have tried to organize befure and almos+ succeeded; let us try it once more Nothing could be worse than our pres ent condition As a result they nor have a safe and sura markat."
 Continuing, the speaker said: "If an industry is not organized it cannot long be profitable. I would not plant the most prolific soil in the world to ? fruit if there was no organization tr market it, because it could only lead to disappointment. The citrus indus try of California was in a desperate condition before the exchange was formed. With that organization there came an entire change, so that today they have such an influence upon the markets, and they are doing their bus mess so economically that they are making the orange industry pay ex- caedingly well. 1
 Two years ago the situation was extremely discOuraging to deciduous 1 growers of California. After a careful l

MIR. MURPHY'S OBSERVATIONS.
There Is No Doubt That Whipple Will
 Be Re-establiShed.

The Journal-Miner. after an inter- view with MT. F. M Murphy, who re- turned to Prescott last Monday, says:
 He stated to a reporter that Ari- zona generally speaking, in the last few months has been relieved of the mask which has kept it and it's indus tries in the background, and no mat ter where one gees, or who enc meets, it's mining, agricultural, railroad, con1- mercial and social conditions have taken the place of the old and played out idea that prevailed in the darker days and in consequence men and money are eager to knew and be en- frightened Of this, to them, new land. Even in administration circles, Mir. Murphy says, Arizona is handsomely alluded to, a feature of regard which is certainly in this day of no small importance
 ttIn speaking of his zig-zag journeys over the country, and in touching 2 lightly on political conditions, which seem to guide manufacturing, produc- ing and financial operations, he says there has been a wonderful change. ManufactOries are no mere smokeless sepulchres; the masses face the classes with an increase of wages; the !e
 
 least of all, the metal markets are scenes of wild pandemonium in the eagerness tc grasp opportunities. He says that in Boston capital of inn mense value is begging for mining h. vestment, and that Arizona's Dromi hence as an inviting field is becoming prominently known and also favorably considered. The same conditions pre- vail in faYCr of Arizona mining, and he believes there is no doubt Arizona, and especially Yavapaf county, will prosper from now on they never have in their history
 He was asked about the all a?,- sOrbing question to Prescott Of the of Fort Whipple, anG simply said: It never rains but U pours, and that is that the post has been selected for government uses and Is again to be garrisoned. While in last week he was person. ally informed by war department Of ficia.s, as well as by others who were in the cause of this posts re- that the appropriation of S50,000 with which to inaugurate the work Of rebuilding and repairing, was available, and government engineer would at an early day be on the ground A says that he was informed that the plans of the barracks called for the caring of four full companies on war footing, which, together with the band and auxiliaries in extra service, would reach at least five hundred men. This, MT. Murphy said, was to be but ne beginning Of the work, and he had 10 doubt whatever that in time the post would be garrisoned by an entire regiment. As a strategic point to operate from since the s. F. P. & P has been constructed, Whipple is considered one of the best adapted enters to strike from Cli- natic conditions are likewise in ts favor, but more especially is it's phical location to be consid cred. The question of Prescott's san- tary life as it prevails today, is like wise a problem not to be cast aside, as change from the old to the new 'uns hand in hand with this govern nent project, and therefore he be 1 ieves the construction of a sewerage i

CARING FOR CALVES.
They Need a Constant Supply Of
Clean, Fresh Water More Than
Heating Rations.

Never put corn, Kafir corn meal or
any other grain in the milk for calves.
The starch Of corn has to be changed to
grape sugar before it is digestible.
This change only takes place in the
presence of an alkali and is done chiefly
by the saliva of the mouth. The corn
is gulped down with the milk, the
starch is acted upon by the acids of the
stomach, but remains unchanged until
it comes in contact with the alkaline Sc
cretions of the intestines. With hogs
the stomach is small and the intestines
long. This allows starchy matter to
be digested in the intestines. The op-
posite is true with the calf, the stom-
ach being large and the intestines
short. Unless the starchy matter is
largely digested by the saliva of the
mouth, complete digestion will not
take place in the intestines, and the calf
scours. Flax seed meal made into a
jelly or Cruel is good to mix with skim
milk to take the place of butter fat. Oil
meal is frequently used for this purpose
but, like the skim milk, it has large
amount of fat removed and is not as
good as meal with the fat in. Calves
like fresh water. Any arrangement
that will keep clean, fresh water be-
fore them all the time, is the best way
to supply it, Our calves drink from
seven to eight pounds daily per head

HAT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL.
The Owner Tried to Economize, But
Her Efforts Met with Fear.
1ul Results,

This is = plain, unvarnished story Of a
lady who trimmed her own hat. She
was endeavoring to economic and con
ceived the brilliant idea that by purchas.
ing the trimmings and the frame she could
construct hat that would be quite as hide
Gus as the ordinary or extraordinary mil
llnery creation and at much less cost. So
she made dozen or more trips downtown
and finally had gathered together trunk
tull OF bits of ribbon, steel buckles, gauze,
flowers, birds, fiber. channels, bolts, rivets,
barbed wire, varnish, bicycle cement, gal.
vanlzed iron, lincrusta walton and all the
singular ingredients of woman's hat, to.
gether with fearful and wonderful frame
that looked much like wire waste basket
after a. tug of war with steam engine
Then she haunted the display windows and
changed her mind something like thou.
sand times regarding the manner in which
she would trim that hat.
She sewed on and ripped off the birds SO
often that they looked much bedraggled
and were, indeed, very sad-looking birds,
but she finally succeeded in assembling the
hat. and then, as she was going on a visit
to her mother and sisters, who lived in e.
ton, calculating that they would go into
commissions over her hat. And they did.
After they had kissed her several times and
assured her of their undying love her moth.

FINANCIAL SUCCESS
1t Takes Close Calculating and Sxa.
tematic Work to Achieve 1t At
the Present Time.

It takes close calculating these days
to bring financial success, and anyone
will have made along step toward sue
cess when he shall have adopted some
style of bookkeeping, and the more thor
ough the better. And why? Because
our Judgment will SO often be at fault
while if we have the facts and figures
we cannot very easily be misled. Take
for instance herd of dairy cows
There is not in all probability any two
that will test the same. The best COW
in the herd to our notion may be kept
at loss. Yet we will continue to think
she is the best unless we apply the test
Up to date farming demands that we
keep strict account not only with the
herd as a whole, but with each individ-
ual COW. So that there may be Il
constant weeding-out process of all in.
ferior mixers and just as constant
grading up with superior cows.
The same will hold good in the swine
herd. There are some sows that are
much better than others. This is to be
determined by their docility, their pro.
likeness and their ability to transmit
good feeding qualities to their off
spring. In sheep the same rule holds
good as well. I believe the best author
ity claims we should make mutton first
in Importance and wool secondary. To
cross the common ewes with some good
mutton breed is considered on good
authority to be the way to obtain the
desired end. Poultry, too, must be
bred up, fed up and figured up, if we
wish to pay the mortgage off this year.
By all means get some thoroughbred
cockerels at least. Many think that
horses are not in it any more, but that
is certainly a mistake. If you have
a good mare and breed to thorough.
bred, you will surely get mortgage
litter. In all crops, it must be borne in
mind that we must do better this year
than ever before. Excel must be our
watchword, and there is no excellence
without great labor. To all this we
must add careful outstanding of all
resources. That is, we must save all
we make by taking care to spend wise
ly, allowing nothing to go to waste OF
to be foolishly thrown away. And in
all this we only reiterate the starting
asseveration of careful calculation. Mix.
ed or diversity farming is the best in
my opinion, and gives a better chance
to win at all times because ones "eggs
are not all in one basket" If one
branch fails another will win, and thus
tide over. But in mixed farming one
must treat each and every branch as q
specialty.-A. N. Springer, in Farm and
Home.

HIS WISH.

They looked the new moon in the face,
Now make wish" said she;
II will IL you will make one, too,'
He answered pensively.
They gazed up at the crescent that
Hung in the western sky,
And wished and turned away and each
Broke of little sigh.
They sat alone upon the steps,
He and the maiden fair;
She looked around to be assured
No one was lurking there
s'What was your wish?" she sweetly asked
"Ah, something good, know!
Confess, and will tell you mine.
Perhaps, before you go"
He looked into her upturned eyes,
Her little hand sought his:
s'My wish tonight" he said, twas what
q My fond wish always is.
1wished that I, somehow might find
The road that leads to fame
That, dying, may leave behind
A great and honored name"
She pulled her little hand away.
She sighed another sigh;
s'What fools they are who WISH" she said
Good evening and good-by!'
And, going home, he wondered at
The sudden change of air
Some people know so little Of
The ways Of maidens fair.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

If any kind of garden seed is sown
let it be the best.
Wire screen cloth is good to protect
trees from rabbits.
With care in selecting varieties the
strawberry season may be prolonged.
One advantage with small fruit is that
you plant one year and get fruit the
next.
Now is good time to see that good
surface drainage is provided in the or
chard.
All small fruits should be planted far
enough apart to admit of using the
horse cultivator.
Currants may be pruncd b. shorten
ing the last seasons growth and trim
ming out the center.
Thrifty, growing trees yield the
finest looking fruit; old and matured
trees the richest fruit.
No variety of pears will ripen so finely
on the trees as they will when gathered
and ripened in the house.
While most root crops should be har-
vested now, they should not be stored
away until cooler weather.
In the pruning, encourage the growth
of new wood. Many trees and vines
fail because the new wood is cut off.

Said to BE n Good Berry.

A writer in the New York Tribune
praises the Logan berry highly. 1t is
called a blackberry, but it is claimed to
be cross between the wild blackberry
and the red Antwerp raspberry, COM
bining the desirable qualities of both.
1t originated in California some ten
years ago. The flavor of the fruit is
unique, and unlike that of any other
variety. 1t is very hardy and prolific,
and fruit bears transportation we'll.
The canes are strong and of low growth,
and are destitute of thorns, so that
hands and clothing are not torn in pick
ing the fruit. It is as excellent for pre-
serving as for table use, all of which and
much more he takes column to tell.
