BLIND MAN MADE TO SEE
BY FORMS OF LORENZ METHOD

Morriston, N. j., March 27.-After
two years of total blindness, George
Lewis is able to see. His sight has
been restored by form of the Lorenz
method of bloodless surgery. Two
years GO he felt severe pain in his
right eye, which then became IN
famed and finally he could not see.
He went to physicians for treatment,
and they decided that in order to save
the sight of the right eye, the left
should be removed. The operation
was performed, but it gave no relief
and Mr.. Lewis became totally blind.
A few weeks ago he heard that q
New Brunswick physician had been
using a form of the Lorenz method OF
bloodless surgery, and to him he went.
After the first treatment he could see
dwell enough to walk home and now
after two weeks, he is able to read.

W. S. DUMAS SWALLOWS
"A GUAN0 TAG HOOK

Gadsden, Ala, March 27.-The six
year-old son of W. S. Dumas, who
lives near Albertville, Marshall
county, was playing with some guano
tag hooks and accidentally swallowed
one. The little fellow had straight
ened out one until it was two and one
hlaf inches long, and resembled o
walking stick with crooked end.
Mr.. Dumas carried the little boy to
the office of DIR. Holiday & Son at
Albertville, where the little boy was
examined with an x-ray apparatus,
which showed that the hook was in
the ploric end of the stomach and had
not done any damage. The hook was
removed by giving some simple re-
NEEDY, and the boy is none the worse
| for his experience.

CHOLERA IS QUELIED
IN THE PHILIPPINES.

San Francisco. March 9Th. @.
Ide, member Of hte Philippine COM
mission, who has arrived here on leave
of absence, en- route to his former home
in Vermont, said in an interview that
when he left the islands peace blessed
them and be was happy to say that
the health boards under the immediate
direction of hte Philippine commits
sion, had stamped out the Asiatic
cholera which caused the death of
one hundred thousand natives.
There have always been bands OF
ladrones, who roam over the country,
robbing their own people, and the
government is obliged to cope with
the constabulary. He said the con-
stabulary numbered $500 men, who
were commanded by American officers.
These men were natural hunters, and
they pursued the marauders with zest
and nearly always captured them.
Commissioner Ide said further :
1.-The conditions in the Philippines
are constantly improving. One meets
with discoruaging features, but after
six months you will see marvellous
Improvement in the development OF
education. The acquisition OF the
English language, the construction OF

Had Never Seen a Train.

Down IN the piney woods country,
where the M. J.. & Z. G. road is
being built, there are people who
never saw a locomotive. A few
weeks ago, one of these long-haired
natives, who heard the cars were
running not more than fifteen miles
away, hitched his horses to his
wagon and took his family to see the
cars.
He stopped his team near the rail-
road track, and as the time drew
near for the iron horse to make its
appearance, he became nervous, and
for safety, he unhitched his team
and carried them over the hill, about
a half mile away, and hitched them
securely. He returned to town and
sat on the wagon tongue a few min
utes and decided he had better move
the wagon little further away. He
lifted the tongue to roll the wagon to
a place of safety, when the shrill
note of the locomotive whistle an
nounced the coming of the train. The
man became frightened, pulled the
wagon with all his might, and as the
train Numbered by, he got so badly
scared that he ran away with the
wagon and tore it all to pieces.
Causllities are not known. The
reporter left about this time.-Ex-

A COMBINED BLOW
AT THE BUCKET SHOPS.

New Orleans, March THE New
Orleans cotton exchange is understood
to have under consideration request
of the New York exchange to co.
operate with that body in striking ar
effective blow at bucket shops. 1t il
understood here that the eastern ex-
change has entered into an agreement
with the telegraph companies, where
by the latter will obligate themselves
not to furnish cotton future quota
tions to any firm not on list to be
furnished by the exchange, and Secre-
tary King is said to be now preparing
the list.
If the New Orleans exchange rati-
fies the agreement bucket shops
throughout the country will be put to
serious disadvantage, if not actually
eliminated. The news of the request
from New York has been kept secret,
but committee of the local exchange
is said to have the matter in charge
and the probability is that favorable
report will be made upon it.

Especially Desirable Crops.-The eX- ceeding warmth of spring and the warm soil and warm irrigating water will make this a very early region, and thus early June melons can easily be grown at Imperial. I believe that melons will become one of their great crops. l stated above that asparagus does remarkably well. The blight which is killing the asparagus East and in many sections of the country, make it very desirable that these peo- pie be very careful in getting plants so as to keep the blight out. If they can do this, they have a bonanza in asparagus. Of course alfalfa is al ways profitable and will be one of the most paying crops of Imperial
 The people of Imperial have started right. They propose to have no sa- looms, while from the very first the church and the school have been made very prominent. We all thought that we never attended a brighter, finer institute. Think of over two hundred people at an institute where two years ago all was desert. I was at Imperial over two days. mingled freely with the people, not only in the hall, but on the street, and never heard profane or coarse expression during the entire time. At present most of the people live in tents, and we would hardly look for the highest refinement; yet We find it everywhere without look ing, at Imperial. AS said to the peo- pie. I shall never see the name Inn perial without happy thought of a people who have evidently started right.

through this interesting country. asked to see the worst and the best, which he said he showed us. The worst, it seems to me, will for long years be quite worthless It is to be hoped with an abundance of water and a proper system of under drainage, much of this salt may be washed out and thus the soil improved as the years go by. The deep cuts into the great Salton basin make drainage by ditches quite easy and possible. This is certainly one of the bright sides of the alkali proposition about Imperial
 Much of the land, however, is quite free from the noXious salts and prom ises to be consistently and enormously rich and productive. We were especi- ally pleased with the higher sandy re- gions which it seems to me give promise of a great future.
 We found that at present little cul- tivation is being done after planting. Repeated irrigations are made to take the place of cultivation could but be- lieve that this was a mistake, and was quite relieved when MT. Nicol came to address the audience to find that he bore out my opinion. I believe that the present method of culture, using water instead of cultivating, will dis appear as the farmers have more ex- perience. That improvements will be made very rapidly in all lines of cul- ture is almost certain. As stated be- fore, 1 never met a more intelligent people. Such people are quick to i'm prove upon work and methods

luvial soil, is exceedingly rich. Soil fertility. as we know, exists in most rocks, and must be in soluble form. We see then that any depression like Salton and Imperial is constantly re- ceiving great additions of most en- riching material. Thus it goes without saying that the soil of the whole re- zion like that of the Nile, is immensely rich and productive. Any one to look at the great crops that are now being grown on the ranches about I'm perial will have farther proof of the above assertion.
 Sorghum, kaffir corn, Egyptian corn and related plants of finest growth and development were among the many interesting exhibits. Alfalfa also does well. It is claimed that even ten cuttings a year can be se- cured. MT. Nicol, who has been con- ducting a local experiment station near Calexico, gave a most interest ing talk and showed what a great number of crops will grow in this re- zion. Sugar cane of excellent growth, splendid specimens of cotton, and large number of other trees and plants showing very rapid growth and de velopment, were exhibited. Sugar beets grew admirably. It was never my privilege to see finer cauliflower than was exhibited at Imperial. Egg plants and melons of mammoth pro- portions were shown. One of the finest crops and most promising up to the present time is asparagus. Both water melons and muskmelons mature in

level of the sea, Salton, some miles and sixty feet The old deposits were more abundant nearer the Gulf. and so the greater elevation nearer the sea. This gives an excellent drainage toward the Salton basin, and it was this that made it possible by digging a canal to bring water from the Colo rado into Imperial. A large canal is already dug, and great flow of eX- cellent water, much more than suf ticient for present uses, is everywhere in evidence Indeed one of the great advantages justly claimed for Impe- rial Is the fact of this great abundance of the best irrigating water As we all know, every river which bears much sediment is always source of great fertilization and thus the water is more than wet. l have no question but that like the Nile. the Imperial region will be greatly benefited by the detritus which is conveyed to it con stantly by this ample flow from the Colorado river. Like all good things, however. so this rose has It's thorn. l hope no very sharp nor serious one, I refer to the fact of the filling up of the ditches. Already we see deposits which suggest that at no distant day some cleaning of the ditches and ca nals will be required

Prof. A. J. Cook, of Claremont, is the representative of the State Uni versity. for the holding of Farmers Institutes, throughout Southern Cali forna, and he devotes his entire time to that work. He is one of the most conservative men on the Continent, and is over-cautious in making his statements This is his reputation So cautious Is he that his friends were surprised when they saw report of his Imperial Institute. in last weeks California Cultivator, in which he deals in Imperial it's future pros poets and possibilities. His endorse ment of the soil, water supply and products are optimistic, and yet he could not but fear that there were localities in which too much salt might be found although, as an off set he saw with his critical eye that the drainage was such that probably rapid reclamation of even the few salty localities might be considered practically certainty.
 We consider this letter as a very
