 Judge James H. Wright has returned
 from trip to Big Bug district on pro-
 fessional business. He says the way
 that section is booming was a revela-
 tion to him. He found Huron thriv-
 ing station, and considerable ship
 ping point, plenty of business being
 done. Providence was also surprise
 He says it is a substantial and spread
 ing town, and looked to him as if it con
 tained about ,OO0 people. He saw men
 working on the grade of the Big Bug
 branch railroad, hundreds of them strung along for miles and working like beavers. Hundreds of railroad men and hundreds of miners, all work ing, make that SC ,tion humming hive of industry. The constant blast
 ing on the railroad and that going on
 in the mines, keeps up roar like can non practice all the hile.-Prescott Courier.
 The Graham Guardian says: "A case of smallpox or Cuban itch has broken out m Solomonville, but has been taken charge of by Dr. Lacey and isolated, and all who are known to have been exposed are quarantined. One of the jurymen attending court was excused on account of being sick, it being explained to the court that he had been exposed to smallpox or Cuban itch at Duncan. Before returning he went to Jack Lance's barber shop and got shaved, but nothing was thought about the matter until MT. Lance be- gan breaking out, when Dr. Lacey was called and established quarantine" The same paper reports that Ben R. Clark is ill at his home in Solomon vile with smallpox or Cuban itch, but in very mild form. As precaution against the spreading of the disease, his family has been quarantined.
 Mr John Johnson, of Provo City, arrived here yesterday morning and will probably become permanently identified with this valley. MT. John son is the agriculturist for the Eastern Sugar company, and will as soon as practicable, begin series of expert ments as well as a careful study of con ditiOns for the raising of sugar beets. He will form the acquaintance of prospective growers and be in a posi- tiOn to advise them as to planting and raising the beetS, and furnishing such other information as will make the sugar beetenterpriSe success both for the company and the grower, for one cannot succeed unless the other does. He is an experienced man in the busi- ness and his help will be valuable to all concerned. MT. B. A. Fowler, who has charge of the work of securing the bonus for the sugar factory, reported that the committee was making good progress and that it was nearing the end of it's labors. Everything is en- couraging at the present time and he feels assured that the committee will 1 have an altogether pleasing report to | make at an early day Phoenix Re- publican.
 A little over year ago at the exper- | mental station they planted in the i very worst alkali soil 3s4 date suckers | branches cut from large date palms in Algiers and Egypt and imported into this country by the United States government. Arizona is probably the | only spot where these palms will thrive well. Seventy-one per cent of these date suckers are growing vigorously, II | per cent are doubtful and Is per cent 1 have died. A species called Rhars furnishes 157 of the living, thriving palms. These trees when matured bear the most luscious dates. It should prove of considerable importance to this section and, in fact, large DOT tion of Arizona if these experiments are successful. These dates bring 9 cents per pound here, and, it is said, pay better than oranges MT. Walker states that when the tree has once be- come rooted it will withstand a sur prising amount of drought. It will be well for those interested in these ex- perlments to keep an eye on this de- parture, flor it may prove of great benefit, Republican.
