Returning to Olden Corn

Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine. " Genesis 2, 2S.
 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands. ."-Genesis II, S7.
 "Israel then shall dwell in safety upon land of corn and wine. "- Deu- teronomy B, 2S.
 Until come and take you away to land like your own, a land of corn and wine, land of bread and vine yards. "-Isaiah So, 17.
 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt. "-Gcnesis le, 2.
 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. Acts :, l2.
 '"rhe pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys are also covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. ''--P Psalms oS, lS.
 Not only the Bible, but every history of the ancient world tells of the corn of Egypt, and we who are wont to think of Indian corn as the sole bearer of the name corn are sometimes brought mp suddenly by the hold which the corn of Egypt is taking in America in these later days. So far as nearly or quite one-half of the area of the United States is concerned, it seems altogether probable that Egyptian corn, Jerusalem corn ol some of the

Hay and Grain
 At Diamond Lake.

Many people driving in from the west bring stock feed further than necessary, not knowing that they can get supply at Diamond Lake, on the ranch of Arthur Ewens. This is the first feeding and watering station on the plains after leaving the mountains on either the Julian or Campo road, being at the junction of the two roads; % miles from Carriso Creek, Is miles from Coyote Wells, 12 miles from Imperial and 13 miles from Calexico.

related varieties of corns known in Biblical lands have greater food-pro- ducing power than the grain to which Americans are accustomed to allude when they speak of corn.
 There are some of these varieties of corn, which, in countries like the Inn perial valley, produce from two to three crops of grain in single year, besides affording an almost incredible amount of fodder feed, while each crop is almost or quite equal to the single crop of Indian corn usually grown, both in weight of grain and fodder value. They go on producing year after year, new crops springing from the roots of the old, until the productive power of the land reaches point which the farmer in colder coun- tries can scarce realize.
 As yet Americans are not accus- toned to these old varieties of stock feed, and they certainly have not yet come to a realization of the food pro- perties of these grains for man. But those who have eaten of Egyptian and Jerusalem corn bread are agreed that it is palatable and wholesome, and that in the hands of Americans these grains have the possibility of being developed into inviting food proper ties. But even limited to the present use of these grains for stock feed in warm countries where they thrive best they add immensely to the possibili- ties of agriculture.

SUGAR CANE THRIVtS

Ii is not generally known that near Blue lake, about eight miles from Inn perial, there is a small patch of ribbon cane, the regular sugar cane, and it may be rather surprising to most peo- pie to hear that this cane has gone through the frosts of the last two months without damage.
 Many persons familiar with sugar cane have predicted that the Imperial valley would yet find in sugar cane one of its most profitable products, one that would produce from Sl00 per year 10 the acre upward, and it is interest ing to know that a thorough test is to be made this year. A short time since k. Mitchell, foreman of a sugar plan tation in one of the Hawaiian islands, visited his brother, Henry Mitchell, at Imperial, and secured a piece of land here. He was convinced that the val ley would be a fine sugar cane country, and he will ship to his brother from the islands about 100 pounds of cut tings with which to test the soil.
 Sugar cane is propagated from cut tings, each joint, when buried, pro ducing sprouts. Absence of hot weather on the islands makes slow growth of cane, which takes eighteen months to mature there. In the z, t,,, in eight months, and it is believed that it will require no longer time here, the long hot period being conducive to the best results in growing cane.
 One of the advantages which this valley is expected to develop over the usual tropical country is the absence of rains. Where rains are abundant there is tendency for the wet leaves to cling about the stalks, causing de- cay, and vast amount of labor is eX- pended in keeping the leaves cut from the stalks. In this country it is thought there will be no occasion for this, and the expense of growing cane will be greatly lessened.
 If sugar cane can be successfully grown on the S00,000 acres being brought under irrigation in the 1mpe- rial valley it is not necessary to look for other cultures, for the growing de- mand for sugar in the United States and the limited area of land suitable for cane insurcs an abundant market at a good price for all the cane that can be produced.

Another Skeleton Found

One more skeleton has been found near Imperial, making the third within year. In this case, as in the two former ones, it is impossible to state whether the bones are those of Indian or of a white man, nothing being found near any of the skeletons from which they could be even remotely identi- fled. It is true that some broken pot tery was found near the latest ske1e- ton, as near one of the others, but the Indians have so widely scattered their pottery over the valley that this may have no significance.
 Last Saturday two of the Rehkoph brothers were driving in from the Carter river and passed under the bluff of Mesquite lake, where they discov- cred several pieces of human bones,in- cluding the skull in fragments. They could find no teeth nor any remnants of clothing or other articles, it being apparent that the bones had lain upon the ground for many years. The low ground on which the remains were found was just such place as per son suffering for water would have resorted to in the hope of digging to a supply of water.
 It is by no means probable that the last find of human bones has been made in the valley, long known as the most terrible of American deserts, be- cause of the absence of water. 1rri gation is making wonderful change in the valley, but the half million acres to be brought under cultivation will from time to time reveal the evi- dences of awful tragedies i'll the past, when one could wander for scores of miles about the country without see ing drop of water.
 The vast amount of broken pottery scattered everywhere over the valley is sufficient evidence that for years the Cocopah Indians have frequented the desert, but knowing the country per fectly they have not met the misfor- tunes which white men have eXper- fenced here. Yet there have undoubt- edly been many deaths from various causes among the Indians on the des- crt, and their bones will be found from time to time.
 Whenever human remains are dis covered by any one of the citizens of the valley it would be best to make d thorough exploration of the immediate vicinity, that any evidence of the identity of the remains might also be acquired.

The New York Journal of Commerce,
an authority on commercial business,
says the trusts are weaker than they
were few years ago. 1t says they are
unable to hold their own against the
competition of other capital. For in
stance the steel trust year or two ago
had eighty per cent of the steel bust
ness of the country while now it only
has sixty-seven per cent OF it. The
sugar trust had ninety per cent Of the
sugar business and now has but fifty
per cent. By consolidating, the trusts
have liberated not only capital but
skilled managers, and are thus the in
struments of their own destruction.
Combinations that interfere with free
commercial transactions in this country
will be destroyed by the government in
time if natural causes do not sooner
destroy them.

scenery, but now I write from this
place, the snow capped mountains Of
Oregon. I can now look out from my
west window and see four large noun
tains all covered with snow. Some tell
me the snow is twenty-five feet deep in
some places.
We don't have the flowers like Cali

and pansies, and some lilac blooms.
I attended the Baptist church this
morning and heard quite good SER
mon. The Methodist minister was of
on vacation. There are about eight
different denominations here and
twenty saloons. Oh, itmakes my heart
ache IS I hear of the terrible wicked
ness that is carried on in this place.
Baker City has eight thousand in
habitants, some very nice buildings,
has four hotels and each has bar in it.
The town is in valley all surrounded
with mountains. I have found some
very nice people here.
Well, I will tell you something
about my trip from Los Angeles here.
l started on Tuesday, the 3rd of June,
travelled day and night on the South
ern Pacific road, and landed here on
the 9Th of June and had very pleas
ant trip. There was one wreck on the
freight train just ahead Of us and two
men killed. On the day we left Los
Angeles we went through fourty-eight
tunnels, one Of them being next to the
longest in the world. We crossed the
river twenty-six times that day, and at
one place we was 4757 feet above sea
level. Nearly all the time we could
look down hundreds Of feet, and it
seemed like there was nothing to hold

The new proprietors of the State
Register have bought the Des Moines
Leader and consolidated the two papers
under the name Of the Register and
Leader. Geo. E. Roberts is to be the
managing editor while Harvey Ingham,
late editor Of .he Upper Des Moines,
Of Algona, will be assistant editor and
will likely, for while at least, be act
ing editor. Mr.. Roberts, who is him
self successful and accomplished ed
itor, is fortunate in securing Mr.. Ing
hams assistance. The state will come
to greatly like Mr. Ingham. The new
paper will be far and away the most
modern newspaper ever published in
Iowa. We believe it will be q credit
to the state and will cause many more
to drop their Chicago dailies and take
it instead. 1t will be true to Iowa,
will be republican and will have good
features that NEITHER the Register or
Leader could afford to maintain alone.

The victory of the Panama Canal
route over the Nicaraguan route was
unexpected. As Col. Hepburn says
the main thing we are after is the canal
and in the matter of choice between
the two routes it is not important.
Hepburn being chairman of the house
committee to which the canal bill was
referred, has devoted much labor to
the investigation of the question. He
has been an earnest advocate of the
building of the canal. He has favored
the Nicaraguan route, but yields grace
fully to the. other route rather than
pass no bill this session. Hepburn is
statesman of the broad guage variety.

The County Convention.

The republican county convention Of
last week was an interesting body and
deserves more than brief passing notice.
A look over the assembly revealed the
presence of many of the old leaders OF
republicanism in Audubon county, the
men who have fought the party's bat
ties for the past decade or two, men
who have been republicans in all kinds
of years. These men deserve honor.
The present writer is not we'll enough
acquainted with the history Of Audu-
bon county Of fifteen and twenty years
ago to make list of those men who
were in the convention without making
the mistake of emitting some deserving
ones, but surely among that list belong
Chas. Van Gorder, Ed Bates, E. b.
Cousins, II. W. Stearns, II. W. Will.
son, John Nash, Sam Garmire, Gus
Forsbeck, W. d. Stanley, George
Scott, Sam Gardner, b. F. Andrews,
DR.. Riley, Nat McFadden, John Love-
lace, Sam Randles. Chas. Walker, Nels
Hoegh, Sam milford, John Bonwell.
As we have said this does not pretend
to be full list of the active party men
Of fifteen to twenty years ago who were
members Of the convention last week.
but it il partial list. These men who
are growing old still retain their inter-
est in politics, not, perhaps, for the
sake of Office themselves, but for the
sake Of the community and Of the state.
They exemplify the statement that
every lover of his country has an in
terest in politics.
Sprinkled among these old Audubon
county leaders Of the party were scores
Of active and energetic middle aged
men as well as many young men who
had never before attended . county
convention as delegates. Then there
were q few there as delegates who all
their lives previous to the last few
years, had acted with the democratic
party. When one Of these, Richard
Gault, took his seat he was heartily
cheered by the convention, the affair
almost amounting to an ovation.
These men who have joined the repub-
licsn party are welcomed to our ranks.
A county convention, to q student Of
human nature, of politics and of the
development of self government among
the people, is q very interesting body.
It is q school in public affairs. 1t is
like the New England town meeting in
some respects, except that it is dele
gate body. II is one Of the cogs in the
great wheel Of self government Of
county, state and nation. 1t is i'm
portant and essential to the carrying
out Of the principles for which the
party stands.
