year. Only three or four times at any
September election during the past
twenty years has the republican plur-
ality of Monday been surpassed: only
once, or possibly twice, in any Septem-

again to the general satisfaction of the
people of the United States with the
present conditions of unexampled pros
perity which have blessed this nation

William Mckinley, and under that of

r. is the seal of its fit and proper
worth, and sign that 1T has come to
stay. Thirty years ago the California
cities were infested by gangs of roughs
as London is today. The leader of the
Frisco ruffians was one Muldoon; and
an inventive reporter, casting around
for a word to describe them, hit upon
the idea of inverting the name, and
dubbed them noodlum. The composition
mistook the "n'' for an "h," and set up
the word "hoodlum," which henceforth
passed into current use, and so into the
dictionary. The coincidence between
California hoodlums and London hooli-
hans is striking; for as the latter has
been politically turned into Hughl1gans,
so hoodlum is now chiefly employed in
the states as political eplthet.

Alta, Sept. 12.-With the coming of
"the sere and yellow leaf goes the
Panama hat Even now only OCCASION

on the trains or at the hotels, all of it's
lovely companions are faded and gone"
A story is told of farmer in Indiana
that received by express a present of a
straw hat and, not to fail in carrying
out the joke he wore it two summers,
leaving it around anywhere, in the
barn, out doors, in rain, in sunshine,
and finally q City chap" came along
and offered him SIS for 1T. And the

the real, genuine Panarnas have been
sprinkled and dotted the past three
months SO that all have that MORE an
tioue look. Then, too the shape has
been so unique, there was no danger
Of a farmers boy or any of the common
folks wearing anything that looked like
1T. And another comforting thought is
for those of us wearing the genuine
Panama, no one earning a salary of less
than $50 month could afford to put
$50 into hat.
Talking about style, there was an In
.surance man on the train the other day
that should have been photographed for
the fashion plates. He wore a silk hat,

Phoenix and Eastern.

The San Diego Sun, of the 6th says
 Following yesterdays report or railroad which had already starteu grading operations from Congress function to Ehrenberg, on the Color ado river, en route to San D1ego' comes a further confirmation today and additional intelligence to the effect that the road is the PhoenlA & Eastern, now under construcClon from Phoenix to Benson. The plan is to use the Santa Fe tracks to Con gress Junction and build new line acrCss to Ehrenberg and thence to san Diego.
 A letter received in this city by ,. M. Hughes from R. Darling, president and superintendent of the Valensuela Conner company, makes the following statement:
 At Ouartzite at the present time six mines are erecting power plants and operations are assuming extended proportions. That this district IS attracting considerable attention IS evidenced by the steady influx or min- ing men. According to Phoenix papers the proposed route of the Phoenix & Eastern railroad, now un- der construction, will be from Benson to Phoenix using the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad, under lease to Congress Junction. then from that point to the western end of the sys- tenn W i'll mass through Cullens, Wells. Haruua Hala, the Polomas and the Ouartzite mining districts, crossing the Colorado river just north or Ehrenberg into California to San Diego. Cal Prof. Church of New YorK tho well known geologist and mining expert, recently spent several weeks examining mines and studying the geology of the country through which this railroad will pass, and gave It as his opinion that in less than three years time twenty-five hundred stamps would be dropping between Congress Junction and the Colorado river.

Speculation in Arid Lands.

The expected has happened In the speculative entry of arid lands cap able of irrigation by large Govern ment water storage enterprises Ihe National Irrigation and Forestry forces have long forseen that such would be the case and have tried to prevent it by providing a maximum homestead entry of 4O or at most oo acres for actual and useful occupation only.
 Great numbers of homestead en- tries of 16O acres have been filed In localities available for water rom nroposed Government reservoirs Fortunately the Secretary Of the In terior takes an intelligent interest Tn the situation. We are informed that the entries so far made on specu- lative lines in the arid lands will be held back until a reasonable general line of action has been determined.
 We are glad to hear of this official intention. One thing that the at tempted land speculation shows IS that the National Irrigation Assocla- tion is right in claiming that Govern ment irrigation works to reclaim the arid lands would add a vast value to the National domain and furnish homes for thousands of families. The settlers and developers of these lands should surely be protected against speculation.-Los Angeles Saturday Post.

White OranQeS.

Tn a few years white oranges may grace the American dinner table one of the explorers of the agricultural department discovered this freak ot nature in his rambles on the shores of the Mediterranean, number Of months ago and brought cutting from the tree to the United States. The cutting was carefully grafted on an ordinary stock at the department grounds at Washington and is now growing in a pot three feet high. A cutting from this has been sent to Santa Ana, Cal, to be grafted there and tried in that climate. A couple of years now will see the first fruit. If it proves of fine flavor, cuttings will be made and widely dissemi- nated and in time the white orange may be as plentiful as the Bahia seed less (naveD orange.
 A seedless lemon is another freak. It was brought from Corfu, and will make things easier for the lemonade man. There is also another variety of seedless orange. Professor Fair child has a seedless loquat also, and a new brand of blackberry, discovered in Mexico.
 The department has number of new walnuts from the Mediterranean, and lot of queer shade and foliage trees from Japan, China and out-of- the-way corners of the earth. One of the finest shade trees in Washing ton, the chingko, came from China, having been brought over by the de- partment.
 A new kind of grape, each grape an inch in diameter, and each bunch foot in length, the vines growing hundred feet in a season-such is one of the discoveries of the agri- cultural department. A little plant has been shipped to the Santa Ana,

A census bulletin just issued shows that when the census was taken there were 1908 fruit and vegetable canner- ies in the country, employing about 4O,0OO hands and turning out an an nual product valued at close to $57,- OOO,00O New York leads in the num- Der of factories-511. Maryland comes next with 271 and California ranks third with 136. No other state reports as many as 100 factories. In the value of the product, California leads both Maryland and New York. The figures are, in round numbers: California, $13,OOO,0O0 Maryland ST. 100000; New York, $7,000,OOO. In New York and Maryland about four fifths of the product in value is vege- tables. Maryland, the great fruit-can- ming state of the east, only puts up $1 ,6O0,000 worth of fruit; California puts up nearly $7,5000O0 worth of canned fruit and over $2,500,0OO worth of dried fruits year.-Californ1a Cultivator.

but Dan r did the lasting and led the
