Date Palm Culture.

Another carload of date palms was planted yesterday at the experiment station orchard south of Tempe. These palms came a year ago from Egypt but did not arrive in Arizona until October, being kept in the station greenhouses at Tucson through the winter. They are of large size-the largest weighing as much as 600 pounds. They are thirty-fve in num- Der, comprising some six or seven of the choicest Egyptian varieties.
 Professor Forbes reports the orchard in fine condition, seventeen of the suckers imported two years ago being in blossom. This is a record breaker, for transplanted suckers, and there will be early information on the quaI- ity of fruit produced by these imported trees.
 Thus far the date orchard experi- ments near Tempe seem to be proving successfully that the culture of date palms in Arizona will some day be- come ali extensive and a profitable in- dustry or that it may become so if the tillers of the soil choose to engage in it. The palm is valuable first for the reason that it can be grown success fully in so few sections of the United States and secondly because the soil required is that which is least valuable for other purposes. It is one of the lines of investigation carried on by the experiment station that is resulting satisfactorily and that could not well have been undertaken by private en- terprise.1Phoenix (Ariz) Republican.

About as pretty a brochure as we have had the pleasure of resting our eyes upon comes from the Imperial Land Go. Its title is, Prom Desert to Garden; from Worthlessness to Wealth." The booklet is illustrated with fine half-tone cuts, with beauti- full Autographed cover, and in clear print tells of the resources of the fer tile Imperial country and of the means by which it is in truth being trans formed from desert to garden. The brochure reflects great credit upon L.. M. Holt, the company's advertising manager-Indio Submarine.

Ice for Coachella and that part of the Colorado Desert is purchased in San Bernardino in small lots for 60 cents a hundred pounds, and the ex- press company only charges $1.40 per hundred pounds for hauling it. Take the meltage into consideration and it will readily be seen that ice is not only ice out in that section, but it is also a pretty costly luxury. -Redlands Citrograph.

The Hartford Courant reproduced, in a
recent issue. this paragraph from the ship
ping columns Of the New York Herald:
steamer Finance, from Colon, which ar
rived June Il, reports on voyage from New
York TO Colon, passed wreck Of a three
masted schooner on May -, lat. 29:56. long.

standing, apparently same vessel that she
passed on her previous voyage on March

partly burned about the stern and no signs
of life on board. She is a dangerous OBJ

ITO one safe on land, but hoping TO be
ahoat sometime or other" m the
Courant, the question inevitably suggests
itself: Why did not the Finance stop long
enough to dispose of the derelict? True,
the ship had for this trip run out of the
danger, but the log shows she had once
before recognized the peril, and the second
escape seems all that one ship is entitled
to. 1t looks as if the rule Of the sea was
TO let the next fellow beware, but not to
do anything TO help him to keep out OF
trouble. When once he is i'm trouble. then
every true sailor is ready TO risk life TO
get him out. But, until the trouble arrives,
no sailor is his brothers keeper. He will
carefully note in his log just what time il
was when he saw what might wreck the
next ship to come that way, but he has no
time to blow up the floating w~reckage, nor
any spare matches with which to burn it,
This impresses me as being rather puerile
reasoning for a great paper located practie-
ally on the seaboard and not very far from
several of the great shipping ports Of the
country. including the greatest. Few
merchantmen, whether steam or sail. have
appliances for destroying wrecks. Mer-

Swallowing Salt Water.

One Of the most beneficial features Of
q sea bath is the salt water inadver-
tertly swallowed by bathers. It is a
wonderful tonic for the liver, stomach
and kidneys. In many cases it will
cure biliousness when all drug prepara-
tions have failed. 1t is peculiarly eff
fectiye in ordinary cases of indigestion,
disordered stomach and insomnia and
has been known to produce excellent
results in many cases Of dyspepsia.
Clean sea water is full Of tonic and
sedative properties. 1t won't hurt any
body. Indeed two or three big swal-
lows Of it would be Of positive benefit
to nine bathers out of ten. It is not,
Of course, a palatable or tempting dose
to take, but neither is quinine or calo-
mel. You seldom if ever see an old
sailor who is bilious or d%yspeptic or d
victim to insomnia, and why? For the
reason that an ocean of good medicine
spreads all about his sky, and he doses
himself copiously with it whenever his
physical mechanism becomes the least
bit ~deranged.-Washington Star.

why Mountains Never Grow Smaller.

why Mountains Never Grow Smaller.
The mountains are always moving
down into the valleys. When spring
time comes, every stream will run
muddy in it's course. At this rate all
the soil from the hills would soon be
gone were not this soil being constant
ly replaced. Water soaks into the
creyices Of the rocks, and when It
freezes it swells with almost irresisti-
BILE force. That a very little Of it can
crack an iron pipe most Of us have
found out to our cost. Thus the rock
is split, and the pieces made in this
way are again broken into finer and
finer fragments until new soil is made
to take the place Of that which is SO
rapidly moving down to the lowlands.

WOULD REDUCE DUTY.
President of the Sugar Trust Makes
His Annual Report.

New York, Jan. 9.-At the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
American Sugar Refining company in
Jersey City President Havemeyer pre-
sented his annual report. He said:
1T would seem that with an over
flowing federal treasury there had
disappeared any reason for continuing
the existing high tariff upon raw sugar.
1t constitutes a charge upon the con-
sumer of nearly 2 cents a pound.
"This represents, on an annual con-
sumption of 100000 tons, SS5, 600, 900
a year. Of this, however, only 1885,
900 ions are imported: yielding Gus
toms revenues of $40, 000, 900. The bal
ance, $4,000, 900, goes into the pockets
of the planters. ID ~
"a removal of this duty on raw
sugar would result in a saving to the
consumer of s85, 900, 0O0."
