by its attraction eXertS an immense
force Indeed, the amount of cner-
gy it employs, the effect of which
is represented by the tides of the
ocean, is so vast as to be we'll
nigh incalculable. AS the earth
rcvOlves, the moon raises that part
of the ocean nearest it to a height
of about three feet, thus forming
a wave which reaches a fourth
of the way around the globe. This
wave travels around the world
once in twenty-four hours.
Now means have already been
found by which some of this lunar
energy can be utilized. In fact,
the moon has been put to work
in a small way on the coast of New
England, where a number CT saw
mills and flour-mills are operated
by its agency Such mills are set
up in places where there is a tidal
inlet which can be conveniently
damned, and a reservoir is pro-
vided, into which the water flows
of its own accord as the tide rises.

DUT the moon to work Why not? 1t
ought to have been done long ago, and
the sooner tackle the problem the
better. At this very minute the moon ought to be
heating houses. 1t ought to be illuminating
our cities 1t ought to be running all the machinery
of our factories. 1t ought to be operating our rail
roads and trolley-cars.
If ever there was lazy orb in this universe it is
that moon of ours, which for ages past has done
nothing but float idly through the sky not accom-
plishing single useful purpose by way of apology
for its existence. If lost the satellite tomorrow
for good and all, it would make difference what
ever to ourselves, except that there would be no
more tides.

And the sky is blue, and the fields are gree

that have bought the lanu Afohi the government, taken out a canal, cleared the land and reclaimed 1t at great profit. One of the land owners, who had few years ago completed canal that reclaimed 250O hectares of land, all under his own individul ownership, as- sured the writer that 8 company could buy the land, clear 1t con struct canal five or six miles long, put in a crop, and clear $1OO,OOO over and above all cost, the first year of cultivation, on 5000 to 5000 hectares of ground.
 The crops grown include almost everything raised in tropic and semi-tropic climes, viz: Cotton, corn, wheat, tobacco. beans, qar- banzos (cow peas) chiles, tomatoes, oranges. lemons, lines, etc. The garbdnza is the
 MOST PRODUCTIVE, PROFITABLE crop. It is exported to Cuba, Por- to Rico, Spain, and other foreign lands, where 1t is Q staple article of diet, and commands high prices. Last year the prices for which that crop sold at Huatabampo were nine and ten dollars per fanega (300 pounds). In many cases single fanega of seed has been known to produce a crop of 100 fanegos, but seyenty-fiye to eighty fanegas to each one of seed is con- sidered the normal yield.
 I fia crop reaches tide water at the port of Ybarros, about three leagues from the town of Huata- balnpo, thence by small steamers or sail to Guaymas. From the latter port 1t goes to New Orleans over the Sonora railway and Southern Pacific, and thence by water to the countries where it is a staple article.
 Before clearing the land is cov- cred by 8 dense growth of vegeta- tion, the usual varieties of desert growth in immense profuslon and luxuriance, mesquite, catclaw and hundred varieties of cacti. The cost of clearing such land is about ten dollars per acre-Mexlcan money.
 The most recent canal is known as the San Pedro, and 1t was fin ished last year. 1t was built under the superintendence of Mir. Fran cisco Salido, perfect of the district who is a very competent engineer, The canal has reclaimed some 6,000 hectares of land, which vii be all shortly under cultivation The enterprise is under ownership acres of a company of capitalists residing in Alamos.

siderable reclaimed land under cultivation Upon each hacienda the home ranche is in each in- stance q small town of several hundred people where the owner is little monarch.
 In tue vicinity of Alamos there is also considerable land under cultivation, irrigated from several arroyos which flow from the Ala mos mountain, where are the rich mines described in the preceding number of TIE OASIS, which arro- yos unite at the lower side of the valley, where the town IS located.
 One Of the principal productions of this valley is mescal, great areas being given over to production of the maquey from the bulbs of which the liquor is distilled, Several large Uinoteria8 as the distilleries are called, are in operation. The two most important are owned by Urea Brothers and Armada Bro- thers.
 PROJECTED RAILROADS
 which will doubtless be constructed in the near future. will contribute greatly to advancement of the dis trict and development of it's great natural riches. At present com munication is slow and inconven- tent. The city of Alamos, the seat of government for the district, is reached by a stage line from Guaymas, 225 miles distant, and another from Agiabampo, a port upon the gulf eight ' miles south.
 A concession has been recently granted for construction of a line of railway from the port of Yba- rros up the Mayo river to the City of Alamos and other points in the district That will develop the rich agricultural and mineral re- l gions in tbe southern part Of the 1 district.
 The line of the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre x Pacific railway 1 (Stillwell line) from Topolobampo ! to Chihuahua and Kansas City, now in course of construction at several different points will trav- erse the southeastern part of the district, and extend branch line to Alamos, which will open that part of the district.
 A concession has been granted ] Davis and Will Richardson of La Bufa for construction of a railway from Guaymas to the Yaqui river and up that stream to La Bufa Trinidad and La Barranca, in the adjoining district of Sahuaripa which wall give a rail outlet to tn, { rich La Dura region in the extreme northwestern quarter of the dis
 trict, and the Cananea, Yaqu
 River < Pacific enterprise of W. C Greene, now performing construc tion in the northern part of tn, state of Sonora will also send al , artery of traffic into and across th' ! district. A concession for a rail way from Guaymas to Durango
 via Alamos, has also becom,
 among the possibilities.
 From the foregoing the reade l will gather that within the nex few years there will be great thing doing in the district of Alamos T one of the richest and greatest il natural resources in all of the re public of Mexico.

Hair Growth of Sexes.

1t is curious fact that boys hair
grows one-half slower than girls. In
boys the average rate of growth is three
feet three inches in six years, being
an average of .0lS inch day. During
the twenty-first and twenty-fourth years
a mans hair grows quicker than at any
other period. 1t takes an eyelash 20
weeks to reach length of APO inch,
and then it's life is from 100 to $50 days.

Editor Martipsburg Herald:
Dear Sir-Under the caption of

have been humbugged by every repub-
lican who had any thing TO do with
the campaign of last fall Now sir. /
would like to have the privilege of
saving to the public, through your
interesting paper that il republican
legislature is to be called in extra or
special session. enact and amend laws
for the betterment of the masses,
ana then, for this same republican
legislature to meet after the election
and repeal the sections that would
have been benefit TO the masses and
leave in force such as will increase
the burdens, it is time, yes, it is
nigh time for the masses to rise in a
body, and protest against such i'm
position and tyranny.
Now Mr.. Editor l want to say that
in the acts of 1904, in special session.
section 81, page %, land hope all
who have a copy will read it) it says,
on real and personal property not
exempt from taxation for the year
nineteen hundred and five, sixteen
cents on every hundred dollars val
uation thereof, for general state pur-
poses, and eight cents on every hun
bred dollars valuation thereof, for the
support of free schools; for the wear
1906, eight cents, for general state
purposes and five cents for the support
of free schools and for the wear 1907
and thereafter, only five cents on the
one hundred dollars valuation. 1t
needs no lawyer to explain this; any
one who can read can certainly under-
stand it.
Section lOS, page Sc, this section
gives direction for making MP the
personal property book and closes by
saying that it does not take effect

There is not an act, nor section
in the special session. that will Justify

to deviate in the least from the old or
former law relating to the assessment
of personal property. | have faith
or confidence in the ability of the
republican patty to make such laws as
would be for the best. but If the val
nation of our property is to be
doubled and at the same time the
tie is to remain the same which
means just double the amount Of
taxes besides the hundred of thousands
of dollars that will flow into the state
treasury from the license fees inn
posed by the special acts. unless
everything has been repealed, but
what relates to the farmer and the
laboring man. The question in my
mind is, can it be possible that the
article in last weeks issue is true?

ATKINSON MAY Be JUDGE
West Virginia Senator Will Push
Him For That Position.
VACANCY ON COURT OF CLAIMS
Former West Virginia Governor Will
Fight It Out With Former Senator
McComas, of Maryland.

A special dispatch from Washington
saws that the death of Judge Lawrence
Weldon creates another vacancy on
the court of claims bench, and again
the West Virginia senators are looking
forward expectantly, half-confident
the president will fulfill his promise
and appoint Ex-Governor Atkinson 60
the long sought position. But in
Washington there is considerable
doubt whether Atkinson Will get this
place. Tx Senator McComas.
Maryland, who lost his seat in the
senate on March 4, says he has a
promise from the president that he
shall have the first judicial vacancy
that occurs and on this promise he
laws claim TO a place on the court of
claims. Ii McComas holds such pro-
mise the president will have to decide
between Atkinson and McComas. 1t
is conceded that the vacant judgeship
will go to one or other of these two
men, but until the president comes
out of the woods and gets in COM
munication with Washington 1T will
not be known which one is the win
ner.
West Virginia senators are very
anxious that Atkinson shall have
that place, especially as the president
did not give him the vacancy caused
by the transfer of Judge Wright from
the court of claims to Illinois last
month. But they have other reasons.
II Atkinson can be appointed to the
court of claims he will vacate the
Office of district attorney of she
southern district of West Virginia.
This would give the senators the op-
portunity to offer this position to
Elliott Northcott. who recently re-
fused to accept the internal revenue
collectorship. in order that Glasscock
might have IL. Northcott is now
assistant district attorney for the
southern district. and the appointment
OF Atkinson as judge on the court of
claims bench would make the way
clear for Northcott's promotion. Ii
is not known now soon ne will take
steps to ill the court of claims vaca-
ney. He may not do so until he re-
turns to Washington the last of May.
If he does appoint Atkinson, it is
probable he will simultaneously ap-
point Northcott as district attorney.
