Harry Walker, who has charge of the Government and territorial experiment. al station just south of Tempe yester- day was busily engaged preparing samples of irrigated alkali soil which he will ship to Washington this morning There are fifteen samples of this al falfa soil being forwarded to be tested and examined. A portion of the con signment is made up of the first six inches of soil and the balance of the next six inches. About six weeks ago samples of dirt were taken before irri- gation and forwarded to Washington
 A little over a year ago at the eN- perirnental station they planted in the 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 gov ernment. Arizona Is probably the only spot where these palms will thrive well. Seventy-one per cent ofN these date suckers are growing vigorously, Il per cent are doubtful and IS per. cent have died. A species called RharsN furnishes 157 of the living thriving palms. These trees when matured bear the ~, most luscious dates. It should prove of con siderable importance to this section and, in fact, a large portion of Arizona if these experiments are successful. These dates bring r25 cents per pound here and. it is said, pay better than oranges. MT. Walker states that when the tree has once become rooted it will withstand a surprising amount of drought. It will be well for those in- terested in these experiments to keep an eye on this departure, for it may prove of great benefit.

so far rs that body Is concerned, and the
depot will be built ut that point, unless
the property owners resort to lega
means to prevent the closing Of the

expect they will not do.
Several meetings OF the council had
been held previous to Wednesday land
the railroad company through its agent,
Mr.. Furry, had presented proposition
that II permitted to close the street they
would grade street thirty feet wide on
the north side Of the tracks from Cane

after some further discussion, unani

street.
A good depot at that point would

The incidental features Of the anti.

asked TO take q hand In the fight, and

The Arkansas Democrat is in re.
ceipt OF the following:
Editor Arkansas Democrat
l have 1t on what Is regarded rs re-
liable information that ex-Goy. Clarke
is not on speaking terms with Senator
Berry and has not been for years, or
rather that he has for years refused to
speak toSenator Berry. Would it not
be u great misfortune for the state of
Arkansas to have two senators In the
upper house of congress who were not
on speaking ternsf Certainly there
would be none of that cooperation
which has proven so effective In advan-
cling the interest of Arkansas during
the past few years. Any sane man
knows that two good men can often &C.
complish results where one would fail.
Fortunately for Arkansas her senators
have co-operxted In every movement to
advance her interests during the past
few years, and many good things may
be credited to their efforts. We should
present fine spectacle to the outside
world with two senators In congress
who could not consult with each other
relative to matters In which our people
are interested and who would, conse-
quently, be always pulling against
each other.
In this connection. am told that
there are scores Of prominent men in
Arkansas TO whom ex-Gov. Clarke does
not speak az be passes by. In this cate

others.

leaders OF his party should be honOred

seeks. ENQUIRER.
We regret to say to Enquirer that
we are unable to contradict the impress
