Santa Fe's line from Guaymas to Nogales. He pronounced the route surveyed to Yuma from San Diego a splendid one, with the lowest grades, the fewest curves and the greatest di- rectness of any line running into Cal ifornia. As soon as his detailed re- port has had its inevitable effect among those whom we wish to inter- est in the work, we expect steps to begin for the construction of the road. Real estate men are coming in and getting ready for the activity that has already begun. San Diego feels as though she has a right confidently to expect great and substantial growth within the next few years."

San Diego and Eastern

Secretary Wood of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, in talking with a Los Angeles Herald writer, said:
 ''San Diego feels that she can say truthfully that direct transcontinental connection with the east is a certainty. A railroad man who doesn't talk rail roads, but who builds them, said few days ago after seeing the full report of our chief engineer: There is nothing that can prevent San Diego's having the direct Yuma connection as soon as railroad capitalists know the situa- tion.' They are learning it, and we feel that assurance has been rendered doubly sure of late. One of the most encouraging things is that the Spreck- els interests are reaching into that ter ritory and putting in enormous invest ments. They are increasing their ir- rigation facilities, and will soon have a most extensive impounding capacity in their four reservoirs. These invest ments are justifable only by the strong assurance of improved railroad facilities, and that can mean only transcontinental line. Our chief en- gineer employed for the purpose of running the line is Fl. T. Richards, formerly with the Santa Fe. He is man of wide experience, and ran the

More Date Trees

According to the Phoenix Republi- can, the Government is still at work on the task of introducing date trees to the desert section. That paper says:
 "Another car load of date palms was planted yesterday at the experiment station south of Tempe. These palms came year ago from Egypt, but did not arrive in Arizona until October, being kept in the station greenhouse at Tucson through the winter. They are of large size-the largest weighing 600 pounds. They are thirty-five in numb Der, comprising some six or seven of the choicest Egyptian varieties.
 "Professor Forbes reports the or chard in fine condition, seventeen of the suckers imported two years ago being in blossom. This is record breaker for transplanted suckers, aud there will be early information on the quality of fruit produced by these inn ported trees. Thus far the date or chard experiment near Tempe seem to be proving successfully that the culture of date palms in Arizona will some day become an extensive and a profitable industry or that it may be- come so if the tillers of the soil choose to engage in it. The palm is valna ble first for the reason that it can be grown successfully in so few sections of the United States and secondly be- cause the soil required is that which is least valuable for other purposes. It is one of the lines of investigation carried oil by the experimental station that is resulting satisfactorily and that could not well have been under taken by private enterprise"

Planning For Melons

Several farmers in the valley are planning to put in large acreage of cantaloupes next spring, and to that end they declare they will begin the preparation of their ground in the fall. They have been carefully watching the operations of the melon growers at Indio this spring, and have made up their minds that the way to succeed with melons anywhere on the desert is to drill in rows of barley running north and south, about 100 feet apart, to protect the plants when young and sensitive from west winds. It is claimed, however, that the melons ought to be planted on the south slope of ridges running east and west, thus getting more direct rays of the sun. That the barley can afford good pro- tection, it ought to be drilled early in the fall, thus getting a good growth before planting the melon seed. The men who give this advice have had experience growing melons on large scale in the Salt River valley, Arizona.
 Imperial would have had consider able acreage of melons this year had the railroad been built, and with as surance that it will be completed this fall, there seems to be ample assur- ance of an outlet for the next crop to warrant heavy planting.

CONGRESSIONAL OUTBREAK

OUVUML OOtUNHL UUIUHLHN
 The dictatoral steering committee in Congress was again forced to sub init to the will of the majority last week and programmed the irrigation bill for discussion. Before the surren- der of the dictators the San Francisco Chronicle gave them this Droadside:
 It is said that a new rebellion is inn pending in the House of Representa- tives, and this time against the ty- ranny of the Committee on Rules. It is on the question of considering the irrigation bill, and it is stated very strongly that this time the rebels are in the ma jority, besides being backed by the President, and that they will either compel the Committee on Rules to report rule for considering the ir- rigation bill or smash the committees slate and take up the irrigation bill over their heads.
 the latter course. It is quite time that the little oligarchy which dictates, not merely Legislation in Congress, but what legislation shall even be consid- cred, was completely and finally squelched. When Reed earned his title as Car he was sustained by pub lie opinion because his object was simply to prevent an obstinate minority from stopping the transac- tion of public business. Obstructive measures were resorted to only to pre- vent action by the majority on some party measure. To accomplish this Speaker Reed "counted d quorum" if one was present, which was contrary to the previous custom of the House. In this he was sustained by the House, and then followed the increase of the power of the Committee on Rules, in- tended to make it possible for the ma jority responsible for government to enact its political policy into law. These powers have been grossly abused by the Committee on Rules, which has assumed arbitrary control of the House in regard to the consid- eration of non-political, ordinary bus mess. In this particular SC the triumvirate which composes the ma jor ity of the Committee on Rules proposes to forbid the House even to consider an irrigation bill which both parties are pledged to enact. They appear to be absolutely devoid of any pretense of political faith, and deserve to be driven from public life. The rebellion which shall put an end to this tyranny cannot come too soon or execute its purpose too completely. Let the Amer ican Republic continue to live. It is a disgrace to the House of Representa- tives to have submitted so long.

adopt and continue (or, at least toll
erate) such form of government as
they may. Mr.. Rose points proudly
to American laws and institutions,
and portrays the Yankee as "the
ruler of his own destiny; the king of
his own fortune the lord of his own
manor. - The entire speech rings
with true patriotism, yet passes no
criticism upon the peoples of other
countries who are as loyal to their
own forms of government, and those
who execute them.

which feat of aerial balancing the dig

be provoked that his countrymen, no
matter of what grade or condition should
be excluded from America, and for
China to retaliate by excluding all
Americans would be but simple justice,
as it is no more proper for the two races
to mix upon the other shore of the Pa
cifc than upon this side; furthermore,
if we have the right to appropriate a
large proportion of the earth's surface
for our own exclusive use, the Celestials
certainly have a similar sovereignty
over their own already sadly over-popu-
lated domain. Yet we think it unrea-
sonable in Mr.. WI to ask an American
of prominence to perform aerial contor-
tions which to date have only been att
tempted by M. Santos Dumont.

words: Poor Washington, poor Lin

once taken to task by his daus hter who
protested against his habit of tipping
his hat to certain lady, whom the

saying, "Father, in future you do not
know her." "But I do know her." re-

not inclined to criticise Mr.. Astor, for
we are firmly convinced that he is too
level-headed to make such remark, but
is probably the victim Of modern sallow-

is probably innocent of making any
such foolish statement, there are other
sons of sturdy fathers who are fond of
waving their sheep-skin diplomas ahead
of them wherever they go, and loudly
proclaiming that man without a COL
lege education is but half a man, while
as a matter of fact there is scarcely one

to some long-headed old tradesman with
iron in his blood, and whose business
