community, and we can expect re-
occurrences of it right along if the
blind pigs are allowed to continue
as they have been in the past few
months. The case was a charge
of drunkenness, and a fine of SIS

that one of the B Ps. has of late
been running things with a free

was INDUCED in that would have

An Eastern philanthropist left pro- vision in his will for the building of a home for indignant" women, and appropriated $60,OO0 for that cause. It is supposed that he intended the home for ''indigent" women, but the will does not say so. And now the "poor'' women all over the country are indignant" to think that a wealthy man should make such mis- take, and they are therefore eligible to the home.

Which is it? Quail or QuaiIs?


 of the pamphlet recently put forth by the Imperial Land Company, entitled "From Desert to Garden"
 'From Desert to Garden-from worth lessness to Wealth." is the fetching title of an interesting little pamphlet published by L. M. Holt for the I'm perial Land Company. It tells, and does it well, of the wonders of the reclaimed desert(?) lands of the Colo rado delta. The only fault to find is that Brother Holt will speak of quails -see last page of the booklet.
 The only question raised in that last sentence is as to whether the plural of "quaiI' should be written with or without an "s.'
 The author of From Desert to Gar den" is always very grateful for mer- ited criticisms, but the critic should always be sure of his footing before standing a man up for inspection.
 We have tried to get at the bottom of this quail business. We are willing to take quail in almost any way-with or without the 3's"-even, if it comes on toast. We have tried to look up authorities on the subject in order to settle the vexed question.
 Webster does not seem to be as positive on this subject as is the ed itor of the Cultivator. Possibly he didn't know whether to put the ''s'' on the singular in order to make the plural or not, for in our edition of his unabridged there is deathly silence on that subject.
 . We then turned to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, Ninth Edition, published by Charles Scribner's Sons of New York City, Volume xxx, page 146, and Ne there find the subject of quail treated at some length, and we quote a few excerpts to show how careless or ignorant the. authors and publish CTS of that great work were. Here are a few- quotations:
 "Quails breed on the gre~uad.'
 "Not a few quails pass the winter in the northern hemisphere
 ''The flesh of quails caught in the spring."
 "Quails exist in sufficient numbers"
 Species of Quails."
 Birds commonly deemed quails."
 with quails from Europe
 American quails."
 'Quails, or button quails."
 Possibly this may prove to be enough from this authority In this article the plural of quail is always used with the "s." and never without it.
 But again, Henry w. Longfellow is supposed to be good authority in the use of English language. In his poem entitled Pegasus in Pound," he says:
 Tt was autumn and incessant
 Piped the quails from shocks and
 Sheaves"
 The Standard dictionary quotes this extract with approval:
 But possibly the editor of the Gull tivatOr does not believe in the Ency- clopedia or in H. w. Longfellow, or in the Standard dictionary. But cer- tainly he must have respect for the Bible, and if he will turn to the 18th chapter of Exodus, he will find that

Trees for the Imperial Settlements.

IlCCS IUl tIC 1llIpCI IdI SCIlICII1CIllS.
 Joseph Burtt Davy of the Berkeley Experimental Station made a trip to of April of this year and in a supple ment to Bulletin recently issued he discusses many questions relative tc the productions of this country. From this supplement we extract the fol lowing paragraphs, relative to "Trees for Timber, Shade and ruel," as fol lows:
 A species of cottonwood (populus) from the Colorado bottoms and another species from the vicinity of Colton have been used at Indio with success on account of the rapidity ot their growth and the good shade they afford. They are objected to on two counts, however: First, the quantity second, the poor quality of the wood for fuel and other purposes. The first difficulty can be obviated by propagating only from poles or cut tings of male trees, which do not produce cotton; the second, only by planting some other kind of tree.,
 Eucalyptus. Some settlers have already invested in seedling blue gums Eucalyptus globulus). This species is entirely unsuited to the climatic conditions of the region. It will not stand either the low winter temperature or the dry heat of sum- mer.
 The true red gum Eucalyptus ros trata), the mama gum Eucalyptus viminaAs), and the yate (eucalyp tus cornuta) are likely to sue ceed, and are hardwood trees of rapid growth. The red gum produces a strong, hard, heavy and extremely durable wood, suitable for fence posts, piles, and railroad ties, and said to make a better fuel than that of the blue gum. The wood of the mama gum is not as strong as that of many other species, but is ire. quently employed for shingles, fence rails, and ordinary building purposes The yate yields a hard, tough, and elastic wood, suitable for shafts and frames of carts, and considered equal to ash.
 The mesquite is so thoroughly adapted to the climatic and soil con ditions of the region that it might be grown in ssmall--saasslter blocks around thho~- use, as a windbreak and to furnish fuel and shelter and feed 1of hogs and cattle. It grows very readily from seed, often coming up as a volunteer on irrigated land and the banks of ditches, and making a growth of from three to four feet in a year with good supply of water {; under favorable conditions it makes a tree fifty feet in height, with a trunk three feet in diameter at the base.
 Both the native Washington palm and the true date palm can be grown the region.
 In conclusion, the writer would call attention to the fact that in view of the vast area of land, about one and one-quarter million acres, of which some 160,000 acres has already been taken up, being brought under irrigation, the large number of families already settled upon this land, the peculiarities of the soil and climate of the region, differing en- tirely from any other region of the State, and largely different from any thing else in the United States, that it would be of immense value to the settlers in the region, as well as of great scientific value, to have State Experiment Station established, pre- ferably in the vicinity of Calexico and under the direction of this

[BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

South Haven, Mich, August 5.-Mr. and
Mrs John Shandrow have adopted the
whole orphan asylum, aa children in all.
The aa children are not all infants. Some
Of them are bright rosy-chceked young
stcrs, already old enough to go to school.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shandrow have made more
than competence of their Ioo-acre fruit
farm and it has been their lifelong regret
that children have never been born -
them.
To please his wife Shandrow wrote to
the Smith Founding hospital, in Mime
apolis, asking them to send him several
children for summers outing with the
privilege of choosing from them in case
he would want to adopt boy.
The Minneapolis institution is small
one and the management promptly sent a
good supply of children over three years
old, no less than 2a boys and girls. Mr..
and Mrs Shandrow are devout Method
lists, and an amusing sight enacted when
they discovered that part of the children
had never been baptized. The minister
was promptly summoned and eight of the
little ones chrstened at once.

Havana, August 5.-The senate has con-
sidered and approved in part a bill to al
low the executive TO raise loan of $4,-
100000, at the minimum rate of 60, and
at the maximum rate of S per cent, pay
able in 80 years, to he used to assist the
sugarcane growers Of the island, who will
be paid al the rate OF so cents per ar
robas of sugar-cane ground from the last
crop 1t is to be repaid by the cane
growers in February, March and April,
1903, at per cent interest.
The bill provides that the executive
be authorized to pledge the customs re-
ceipts as guarantee for the principal
and interest OF this loan and to guar
antee increased expenditures on account
OF the loan. The executive is also to be
authorized to pledge the customs receipts
upon certain articles, tariffs being raised
proportionately.
Six months after date another loan of
$4,000. 900 is to be raised on the same
conditions rs to time, price OF issue and
interest as the above mentioned loan.

latter obligation amounts to $4,000, 900.
1t is provided also that congress, before
the closing of the present session is t,
vote a certain portion OF the income Of
the island to pay interest on and pro-
vide sinking fund for the second loan.
1t is said that this will substantially
pass the house. The senate is said to be
opposed to raising a large loan but has
agreed to the present measure. A ma
jority of the former Cuban revolutionary
element is in favor of paying the army;
it is sad in other quarters that the loan
has been divided into sections, to allow
the first loan to be raised, and the second
big loan will be shelved. That part of
the bill referring to guaranteeing the
$4,ooo.ooo loan from receipts OF in
creased of duty articles was not ap-
proved by the senate. No project has yet
passed the house.

SHOTS ARE HEARD
IN SHENANDOAH
RJMOR THAT CAMP WAS AGAIN BE-
IvG ATTACKED FOUND TO BE UN-
TRUE-lNVESTIGATION MADE.
IBY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Shenandoah, Pa, August 5.-Many ru-
mors were in circulation today OF trouble
III various parts Of the region. The only
disturbance that occurred, however, was at
Girardville, six miles from Shenandoah,
where station workman named Caparall,
coming from the Grard washery, oper-
ated by W. r. McTurk and company, was
shot in the leg. Caparal had been en-
gagged at work which had been forbddn
by the union and had been warned sev-
eral times to quit. During the night scy-
cral shots were heard in Shenandoah, be-
tween brigade headquarters and camp.
This gave rise to rumor that the camp
was again being attacked, but an official
investigation proved the rumor to be tin
true. The provost marshal is making a
searching investigation as to who did the
shooting.
The cavalry took another dash ACROSS
the country today for exercise, this time
going in the direction of Frickville. The
region generally remains quiet.
Three members of Company | of the
Twelfth regiment, who left the camp last
night without leave, were chased by
crowd Of men on the outskirts of town
and sought refuge in the house of Squire
McGuinness at Frickville. The soldiers
will be court-martialed.
Chief of Police FRY and other borough
officials conferred today with General Co.
bin and confessed their inability to cope
with the situation in the southern sections
of Shenandoah, where the Cambridge col
liery is located, and asked that troops be
sent there.
General Goblin consented to station two
companies of infantry in the vicinity.
