 AN ARIZONA ROSE BUSH. There is a Marechal Nell rose bush at the home of MT. T. w. Chamberlain, three miles north of the city on Center street. 1t is attracting the attention of visitors to the city and amateur pho tographers. It has spread over the front of Mir Cbamberlain's residence until it covers an area of sixteen feet high and twenty-two feet in length It is different from the ordinary Marechal Neil rose in that the flower has a most delicate pink tint and has a luXuriant foliage. The other day lady who had been traveling over the coast made a journey to see 1t ana was enraptured; she had never seen such a floral beauty. Manager Morgan of the Southern California Lumber company. and an enthusiast and eX- pert regarding roses, said there was nothing in California, the boasttul Iand of roses, that could approach it in beauty and luXuriance. The bush IS six years old.

 UNION DEPOT BUSINESS.-Teie- phone inquiry has been made at this office as to what is the largest union depot in the United States, in point of business transacted. A request was made that the reply be published. A local railroad man was interviewed on the subject, and he replied that while he had no data, 1t was his opin- ion that the St. Louis union depot did the most business, though the new union depot at. Boston was 6 much larger and more commodious structure. Later a World almanac for 1901. was referred to for figures regarding the amount of passenger traffic. The re- suit follows: st. Louis union station, number of passengers annually, S,OOO.- GOO; Grand Central station, New York 14000, 900 passengers; South union sta- ton, Boston. 2l,o00.OOO passengers; North union station. Boston. 23.IO8,3Si passengers; Park Street station, Bos- ton Subway. 27,400,000 pass ngers. It is probable, however, that if the totals for sale of tickets were given. the dlf- ference would not be SD largely in favor of the eastern depots. as go much of the travel about the big cities Is or a purely suburban nature or to nearby towns. In connection with this it Is interesting to compare the figures given for some of the large European ! depots. viz: Broad Street station North London railroad. -2l,0OO,OOO;
 Waterloo station. London 6 South i western. 2S.659. 11S; St. Lazare station,
 Paris. 43,O62. .CSS; Liverpool Street sta | ton, London, 4i,377,0O0.

 a few good sized fortunes have beer made in the production of honey for th l eastern market. There are several tea
 lures about bee culture in the Sal | River valley that commend themselve
 to prospective producera Bees have
 working season here double that whicl an eastern or northern climate affords l With early spring the bees can begin their labor and it can be continued Ill
 late in the fall. As a result of tn length of the season they produc double the amount Of honey to the hiv during the year as the bee of the north
 land. It's quality, too, is of the best From the mesquite blossom the sweet
 est honey in the world is obtained. Tn
 alfalfa blossom furnishes anothe source of supply which covers larg
 humber of months of the year. Take
 as 8 whole. bee culture presents busi
 ness proposition of no small volume
 and it certainly takes rahk as one of tn
 most lucrative, considering the sma'
