The Revival Closed with ISL ,onserts.

The union revival meetings which
have been in progress in this city for
the past tour weeks, conducted by
Evangelist w. A. Sunday, of Chicago,
came to close Sunday evening.
During the series Mr. Sunday has
preached from one to three sermons
each day, Sunday included. He has
labored very earnestly and certainly can
feel proud Of the results of the meetings
as 257 persons made public profession
of living Christian life, including many
of the business men of the city. The
splendid music furnished by the choir of
over hundred voices added greatly to
the success of the meeting. MIR. q. G..
Fischer who drilled them is splendid
chorister as we'll as sweet singer. At
almost every service the large room was
crowded and on Sunday evening there
was a tremendous crowd, every inch
of space being used, and many stood
outside and listened through the open
doors and windows. There has been
great change IN Leon and one which
will bring much good in the future.
Our citizens have been very liberal in
their contributions. During the first
three weeks the voluntary contributions
were sufficient to raise the total expen-
ses of the meeting amounting to $222.S

SALT RIVER DATES
An Industry Whose Success Has Been
 Assured.

The question as to the success of date culture in the Salt River valley has been settled afirmatively There seems to be no other place in the United States where the conditions so nearly approach those of the natural home of the date palm. The experimoEe was begun eight years ago. A preliminary shipment of plants was received by the government from Cairo. Egypt. Nine plants Were set out at the experimental farm and the rest were distributed among Yuma. Tndio, Pomona, Tulara and San Francisco. The result of the preliminary experiment. at least in
 Arizona, was so satisfactory that the government decided to extend it and this year 45O trees were received. Of these foo were allotted to Arizona and the rest were sent to California
 Professor A. ]. AIcClatchie. in charge of the experimental station. brought to The Republican office last night a va riety of samples of the fruit, 'both un- ripe and matured. Of the nire trees planted eight years ago three are bear ing They are of different varieties known as the Amhat, Seewah and the Amreeyeh. The first seems to be the hghtest bearer, the See Wan. II h5avier, and the Amreeyeh the heaviest. Tha transformation of the tannic acid into sugar begins at the outer end. It turns black and shrivels somewhat. When the date has turned black along it's whole length. the tIansforma is complete. the fruit is ripe and falls off. it is rather sweeter and juicier than the frunt of the other varieties. which are golden when ripe.
 l. has now been well demonstrated that the fruit may be grown here in commercial quantities; that the trees come into bearing rapidly and tha- the fruit is far superior to the ordinary date of commerce.
