DATES IN ARIZONA
Concerning an Important Experiment s About to Be Begun.

The United States government which failed to establish the use ot camels in the arid regions of this ter ritocy. has launched another under taking. which If successful, will give to some of the barren alkali districts oi Alizcna the appearance Of an Arabian desert. Prof. J. w. Tourney, form erly an active member of the faculty Of the Arizona university, returned. few days ago frcm a trip to Washing ton where he was recently appointed by the department of agriculture to conduct an experiment. in date cul- ture He is still nominally connected with the exepeEmental station which will aid in the management Ci the ex- pertinent
 4 tract of ten acres has practically been decided upon, near PetersOn's s Siding, south of Tempe. The soil in that section, it is thought, IS peculiar Iy adapted to the raising of dates It contains alka1i, which is almost in despensable to the success of date culture, and water rises to within three feet of the surface. The plants will be irrigated fer probably two years when it is thought that they will extend their roots down to tha moist soil, and be Independent of ir- rigation.
 Date palms which have baen culti- vated in the valley hitherto have been very thnfty, but the fruit is of an inferior quality This is explained by the fact that the plants arg seedlings. and it is just as reasonable to plant the seeds Of date palm as it is to ex- pect good fruit from an apple tree which has sprung from the seed. MT Tourney scid yesterday tha: nothing will be imported for the date orchard but suckers. He expects about 100 suckers within a month and at the end of d year 1t is not unlikely that the whole ten acres will be planted in date palms. 4 great variety will be planted so as to ascertain which spec fos is the better adapted to the lccal conditions. The suckers will come mostly fOm Algiers and different parts of Arabia,
 There will be frcn s5,O0G to S10,O00 expended on the undertaking and t will be the only date orchard in the United States. MT Tourney bases his opinion on an extensive experience in that line when he says irAt he Is firm in the belief that the scheme will be successful It's success has 2. great CT bearing upon Arizona that is at first believed It means that thou sands of acres of desert soil will be utilized in a profitable engagement. Tn 10 place in America is the date in dustry carried On to any considerable extent, but most of the fruit consumed is imported from Arabia.

COUNTERFEIT STAMP CASE.
Innocent Holders of Cigars to Be
 Treated Fairly By Government.

Washington, May 2 Commissi3neS Wilson of the internal revenue bu- reau has issued the following ei"Iuljc to cigar and tobacco dealers relative to counterfeit stamps:
 Referring to seizures of oigaTs : from Jacobs & O., factory Nc. 3742, and Kendig's factory, No. 459, ninth district of Pennsylvania, you ale iE- formed that as 5G's are the only de- nominations known to have be@n counterfeted, you may release .he cigars covered by stamps Of uther denominations, which are regular. and in the hands Of innocent holders. The cigars can be left in thp custody of the parties from whom seized. # they are responsible, pending further action. Seizures should De reported on form 117.

 "When stamps are undoubtedly genuine, the cigars may be released without delay. The distinction bo- tween genuine and counterfoi!, stamps is this:
 "The paper in lhe counterfeit l. much lighter than that n the gen uine, and the face of Clay in tha counterfeit is very mucA drawn; the lock of hair on the right side of his head is very dark in the caunterleits in the genuine, much lighter.
 Among the most prominent dig tincticns are the diamonds and stars in the word Cigars h the genuine they are very distinct, while il ;ho counterfeit they are greatly 5lurred and in some letters the diamonds do not appear at all. The shading 1t tn. left of the stamps is much heavier in the counterfeit than in the genuine stamp, due. probably to the tighter color Of the paper.

WATERS WON ON WALL STREET

An extTu nely plutocratic air per vades the halls and corridors of the i Waldorf these bright spring days. It is not confined to the wealthy business man or broker who makes the greaI hosi-elry his headquarters when in the city. The help, from the had clerk down, is breathing the air in large quantities. It began by walters in the cafe oVeIhearing diners discuss Wall street in confidence. One waiter played the information he receive. that way and won. He confided the good news to his companions, and by the end of the week all of them were actively engaged in stock operations They won, too, and the speculating fcver spread The walters told the fronts" the fronts boasted of it to the elevator boys, who in turn repeated it to the maids. valets and chamber maids. It spread down to the kitchen, where everybody from the augu5s chef to the boy who puts the salad around the meat were up to their ears in the stock market. AS a result, James P. Scott, the head clerk, has re- signed because the $15,000 he has made will set him Ulq in business for him. self. James Seek, head waiter Of the cafe, can match that amount, but Will continue to accept little favors in the way of tips, and there are many others who can see S10, coo written in their bank books. Ths maids are all buying diamonds and nearly everybody else in tie hotels employ can at least af- ford to board there for the time being From New York Letter.

 1t will be observed by those who have familiarized themselves with the names Of the person engaged in the late struggle that the foregoing sue cessful ticket is somewhat impreg- na ted with democratic matter.
 It is so strongly tinged with de- mocracy that many pessimistic persons were inclined to look upon the situation last night as a republican wdefeat and many inccgitant democrats Were unreasonably jubilant- They were unable to see anything back of the figures and concluded that having done it once they could do it every two years.
 On the face of affairs the election of yesterday was almost an exact reversal Of that Of two years ago. The maiori- ties of the successful candidates are about the same as the majorities Of the republican candidates for the sanla offices two years ago The republicans nave ICld1nSu OI1G OL I11O COOAOA1iA1Cl' which they elected then and have lost the city treasurer.
 Almost the same number of vOtes' was cast as in 1897. Nobody believes that there has been a change in the political complexion of Phoenix tc the extent of twice the average democratic majority of yesterday or twice that of the average republican majority of 1wo years ago.
 There is, in fact, nothing very sur prising in the result of yesterdays election. The most sanguine republi cans had counted with confidence Inly upon the election of Jobs, Christy and Dyer. They predicted that th;. race between Prescott and Luke would be Close and it was close. They feared the popularity and extensive lcquailt- ance of Fickas in the Third ward ard nearly all republicans believed that Officer Molloy in the conScientjCu and absolutely fearless discharge of his duties had made so many enemies
