Cabbage Culture.

A prominent truck farmer OF the
South Carolina coast gives the fol-
lowing directions for the cultivation
of cabbage for market:
Lands should be plowed deep.
narrowed and marked out in rows
two and half feet apart. A very
necessary precaution is to throughly
ditch the land so that at no time
water will stand on it.
A liberal application Of fertilizer
is necessary, say fifteen hundred
pounds to the acre. This fertilizer
should consist of high grade fertil-
izer, analyzing s per cent, ammonia
per cent, phosphoric acid and 5
per cent potash. It is applied in the
marks laid off for the rows and a
scooter or bulltongue plow run
through it, so as to thoroughly mix
it with the soil. Two furrows are
then thrown together to make
medium sized bed, which is then
rolled, to firm the ground, and
plants set out on the rows eighteen
to twenty inches apart. As soon
as the plalts are started growing,
the field is narrowed with an iron
age harrow AID dressing Of FIVE
hundred, ,tounds of fertilizer to the
acre is applied in every other row,
followed with subsoil or some
other plow which will thoroughly
break the beds until you can see the
cracks extending across the same.
In about ten days the other furrow
is treated in exactly the same way.
After that the land is kept open by
constant work using a plow, harrow,
cultivator or some like tool that
will not break the soil deeper than
two inches. Cultivation should oc-
cur every week or ten days until
the cabbages are headed, or the
foliage completely covers the
ground. Under ordinary conditions
crops worked in this way yield an
average of one hundred crates of
cabbages per acre.

WATER USERS COUNCIL
Meeting Held Yesterday and Impor-
 tant Bylaws Passed.

The council of the Water Users as sociation held a meeting yesterday in the board of trade room. There was a very good attendance of the members. about twenty being present. In the ab- seuce of the chairman, Prof. George 23lount presided as temporary chair man.
 Aside from, routine business, two inn portant bylaws were passed. One of them was concerning the bonds of ohi- cers. A former bylaw required the of fcers of the association to give surety bonds. The surety companies, however. demurred, on account of a statement in other bylaws concerning added duties and added risks that might be required of officers, and which they claimed. would invalidate their contract. The new bylaw permits the officers to give any sort of a bond that isN accepta bla to the board of governors, whetha~ it be personal or furnished by q surety company.
 The other bylaw passed furnishes she teShnical machinery foH~the levy ing of assessmentB and collecting them or enforcing the penalty, in any partic- ular canal division, of which tn ee have been organized and others will be. IL will be remembered by those inter ested in the association that the com missioners in each division or district are charged with looking after the specific interests of that district. When the time comes fer the acqu-re-2e1t ol the distributing canals or other pos sible enterprises, it wilT no doubt be necessary to levy assessments, though no enterprise Of the sort is conteiu- plated at this time The bylaw only provides the legal machinery against the day when it will be needed. These assessments need not frighteu any body. for they will not be without proper discrimination. Every proposed action will have to be submitted ;o a vote of the stockholders in the district. and if carried by two-thirds. the fact is the certified to the board of EoveT- nors. which will levy the assessment iI it sees fl.

PhOeniX has a new and permanent resident, MT. J. L. Mcdowell. late Of Denver, who has come here to act as cashier for the Union Bank and Trust company MT.

He has spent about a week in looking over the valley. and he had previously familiarized himself with other parts of the territory. He had been for many years engaged in the banking business in Denver.
 He was asked yesterday regarding his impressions of this city and its surroundings. Said he. "I am much pleased with what have seen of Phoe- nix. and if I were from the east I would be surprised, but a modern city in. the desert does not surprise a west ern man. I am not pleased with Paoe- nix as l see it. but l am pleased yeith the possibilities of the future and with the fact that your people are alive to tie situation l have lived 50. lol= in Denver that I am thoroughly nocls- lated with optimism. otherwise the boom GsIn1."
 I hope to make Phoenix my perma- neat home, but feel that am a too recent arrival to take the Initiative in any movement looking to the hasten ing of brighter day for this city. though any movement Of that nature will have my assistance to the limit Of my small ability and influence"
 BIr. Mcdowell said that he was i'm

Like Phoenix. he said. the othes two eitie5 were started in a semi-arid region. and the chief element in their early growth was the regulations they had 2aIaed as health resorts. But he added tha. the people of those cities were not con tenu with a prosperity founded upon the weak lungs of the east and de- voted themselves to showing that they had other and better resources.

He thought himself in the champion

gage Jeffries for championship honors.
He was told to get a reputation and
by way of doing it he whipped Tom

a drubbing which ought to convince
most anybody that the old time jeff
retains his ability in the fistic line.
People speak of Jeffries as an ''old

of age, having been born at Carroll,
Ohio, April Is, 1875. He learned the
trade of boiler making and first came
into fistfe prominence by assisting in
