AN OLD ARIzONIAN
Took Part in a Recent Ceremony at
 the Naval Academy.

l The following dispatch taken from the Baltimore Sun contains one name which old Arizonians and some who are
 not so old will recall:
 1 Annapolis Md, May S.-In honor of
 the promotion of Captain Willard H. l Brownson, superintendent of the Naval Academy. to be rear-admiral the naval officers of the academy tonight gave a reception at which the Admiral and Mrs Brownson were the guests of honor
 The reception was held in the officers building, which was completed several months ago. The superintendent was in the uniform of a rear admiral of the navy. The officers sent out a large number of invitations and practically all of these were accepted. There were present all of the officers of the Naval Academy and members of their fam ilies besides the several professors and instructors and a number of invited guests from Annapolis. The reception was held between the hours of and II o'clock.
 Among those present were Governor Edwin Warfeld of Maryland, and Mrs. Warfield They were accompanied by Adj. Gen. Clinton l.. Riggs. Col. Ed ward l.. WoOdside and Capt. William Baird. United States Army, members of the governors staff.
 Admiral Brownson will leave Anna polls the latter part of June to as- sume command of the new cruiser squadron.
 At o'cloc this morning the guns of the Naval Academy shore battery bOomed a salute of thirteen guns in honor of the promotion of the super intendent. At the same time the ad- miraFs pennant was raised to the flag staff of the ship Santee, replacing the pennant of captain that has floated from the staff for the last three years
 Captain William Baird a member of the staff of the governor of Maryland is an old Hassayamper when there were no railroads in this part of the territory. He is connected by ties of relationship with several prominent families of the Salt River valley He is notwithout an interest in Phoenix as he is the owner of several lots in Irvine's addition to the city.

from distension until they are fin ally thrown off in large flakes when q new formation of the same frnd takes place.
 Cork intended for the market is us- ually stripped from the tree ;l year or two before it would naturally come away and the process is repeated at intervals of twelve to fourteen years according to the vigor of the tree. The first removal usually a<es place when the tree is about twenty-five years old and the product called vir- gin bark is valueless. The removal does not involve the whole barZ but only the spongy cellular tissue all of which has ceased to have any true vitality but is rather an incumbrance to the tree. So that instead of be- ing injurious the taking off of the bark rather promotes the health of the tree which continues to yield for 150 years. The average yield for one tree is fOrty-five pOunds.
 The sample brought in by MT. Sowers contains two layers of bark, the outer rough though somewhat spOngy but the inner, notwithstanding the fact that the bank is not supposed 10 be of any value until u-a tree has attained an age of twenty-five years, seems to be of q very good average quality. The bark on this Arizona tree is a little more chan two inches in thickness.

AN ARIZONA CORK TREE
It Has Been Fully Demonstrated That
 1t Will Thrive Here.

That cork can be raised in A.dzonI will be news to the people of the ter Titcry but interesting to the people of the whole country. But it can be done c. r. Sowers the mining man has just come in from PinaI county and has brought with him q sample of cork bark taken from a tree on the Irions ranch. l. is perhaps the orly cork tree in Arizona and one of the Very few cork trees in the United States but the thrifty condition of it proves that cork can be produced here. Whether the experiment would be
Arizona republican., 1905-05-15

commercially successful can only be sUrmised.
 This tree was planted by Mr. Irions about nine years ago, is about twen- ty-five or thirty feet tall and is about nine inches in diameter. That is as tall as the average tree ever gets but at Q great age trees sometimes reach a diameter of five feet It is under stood that the plant was brought from somewhere in South America. The thrifty character of t as Of all the trees in the Irions orchard is said to be due to a system of sub-irrigation.
 The branches of the tree are short and hug the body a little more closely than tne branches of an umbrella tree do. The leaf is about an inch .n it's shortest diameter and an inch and half in the longer. The leaf slightly resent bles the leaf of the Linn tree.
 The cork is a species of oak, the tree sometimes being called the cork oak (quercus suberD It is a native Of southern Europe and northern Af- rica. There are great forests of them in the Pyrenees. Spain and Portugal chiefly supply the world with cork. IL is said that the planted trees are iD- ferior to those of the natural forests.
 The tree lives to a great age, in some instances 300 or 400 years. It blossoms in April or May and the fruit ri3ers from September to Jan uary falling to the ground as soon as ripe. The fruit is an acorn winch is edible and in taste resembles the chestnut.
 The bark in trees of from three to i've years old is of a fungus appearance, new layers of cellular tissue being formed and the outer parts cracking

DR.. Green at Aberdeen

DR.. Thomas f.. Green of Cedar Rap
ids, who is expected to deliver the
address before the graduating class of
our High school, lectured in Aberdeen
last week and here is what the News
says of him: His subject on Satur-
day night was "The Key to the Twen-
tieth Century" The lecture was his
first appearance in Aberdeen, but he
had not been speaking five minutes
before he had proved that he had not
come here too highly recommended.
With stage presence that was perfect
and natural, without a flaw, an imag-
ination which made people see what
they had never before thought of, a
wonderful voice and flow OF words
which charmed the cars and senses OF
his hearers, and his personal magnet
ism he had won his vast audience
before he had fairly become started on
his lecture. He was irresistible, car
rying his audience spellbound with
him until the very end.

UNIVERSITY
WINS DEBATE
Leading State Institutions Lock
Horns in Joint Debate

The fourth annual debate between
the state Agricultural college and the
state University took place in this city
at the college chapel last Thursday
evening and in spite OF the cold stormy
weather, the chapel was we'll filled
nth interested listeners. The ques-
ton "Resolved that the history of
trade uniOnism in the United States
for the past twenty years shows a gen.
eral tendency detrimental to the best
interests OF our country" was one
that is attracting wide attention
throughout the country and was there
fore of genuine interest to all who
keep in touch with the questions of
the day.
Messrs. c. l.. Johnson, l.. n. Jen-
sen and Matt w. Murphy were the rep
resentatives of the Agricultural college
which had the affirmative side of the
question, and Messrs. b. f. Crippin,
X. F. Lyons and Miss Edith Reeves
represented the state University and
the negative side.
The affirmative put up a powerful
argument and at the close the REGIS
TER representative made up his mind
that the S. ID. A. G.. had won again
but it was not to be so, as the decision
of the Judges was one for the affirm
ative and two for the negative. We
may have been somewhat prejudiced,
as the affirmative side of the ques-
ton appealed to us the strongest
The representatives of the state Uni
versity, particularly Mr.. Crippen, were
good takers and certainly were very
impressive in their delivery which fact
could not fail in giving added weight
to their argument.
Prof. +. X. Eyerly was master OF GER
emonies and introduced the speakers.
Attorney Neil Stewart was timekeeper
and DR.. w. II. Thrall of Huron, Hon.
J. II. Williamson of Madison, and
