duced by Mr.. Burbank is the plumeot, a
permanent cross between the apricot
and the plum. This is distinctively a
new species of fruit, and it differs
greatly from either of its progenitors.
Another new hybrid which promises
well is the pineapple ounce, and the
peach almond is still another.
The operation of hybridizing two
fruits requires no especial skill. It is a
process long understood by gardeners
and consists in taking the pollen from

ing the last thirty years, is a step to-
ward the substantial encouragement of
scientific research which well deserves
approval. This is especially true from
the fact that the beneficiary about ten
years ago abandoned his large and ex-
ceedingly lucrative business as a com
mercial scotsman and florist to devote
himself entirely to horticultural expert
mentation. To that end he converted
his famous seed farm at Santa Rosa,
Cal, which had been brought to state
Of wonderful prOductiYeness by the IN
firing effort OF its owner, into one of
the most original and satisfactory ex-
pertinent stations in the world. The
pecuniary sacrifice involved in the
change at once established Mr.. Bur
banks sincerity and devotion to his
field of research.
Mr.. Burbank has produced about 1000
different varieties of fruits, flowers and
edible vegetables. Most of this work
has been done at Santa Rosa, and the
various processes of selection and in
breeding have involved the inspection
and sorting OF countless thousands of
specimens. While it is a fact that a
great majority of his additions to the
fruits of the earth have proved to be
scientific curiosities rather than prac-
teal contributions to the general sup
ply, there are some notable exceptions.

PRESENT QUARTERS ARE ALTO
GETHER INADEQUATE.
THE VIEWS OF MAYOR M'MURRY
Would Provide a Building to House
Library and Fire Department with
Council Chambers and Jail
in Connections.

Hamilton may soon be the proud
possessor of new city hall, if plans
now in the forming mature. 1t is
proposed to erect a substantial and
slightly building, to cost from $4,000
to $4,000 and which will furnish ad-
equate quarters not only for the city
dads, but for the public library and
fire apparatus as we'll. To raise the
money 1t will be necessary to bond
the town, which, SO far, has never
contracted one cent of bonded in
debtedness, and which proposition
must first be voted upon by the
people.
The project has been talked of for
some time, has the support of the
mayor, most OF the members of the
council and of the fire department.
Discussing the proposition yester
day with representative Of The
Western News, Mayor McMurry said ::
"The progresiveness of people is
measured by their public improve
ments. Public libraries, parks and
pleasure gl ounds, public schools and
municipal buildings, shaded drives
and we'll kept streets, efficient police
and fire departments are all evidence
of thrifty people and are pointed to
with pride by the fortu mate city that
possesses them.
'That Hamilton is being left be-
hind in the race of progress we must
all admit. The structure at present
used as city hall and fire depart
ment quarters is a disgrace to town
of any size and much more 80 to a
town that has the standing in the
state that Hamilton has-the county
seat of one Of the most prosperous
counties in the state Further than
that, it is entirely inadequate to the
needs of the fire department.
''lhe city has acquired lot of val
liable fire apparatus and to make it
and the department as effective as
possible it is necessary to provide
suitable quarters for it. And again,
it is only question of time until he
hbr.ry will outgrow it's present
quarters. Why not provide per
manent home for 1t; save about $500
a year and increase it's effectiveness
as an educational institution?
GAS further argument in favor of
such building 1 might mention that
a good many dollars are lost to the
city every year by our la OK of suit
able city Jail. All fines now collected
go to the county for taking care OF
city prisoners. This item alone would
go long way toward paying the in
terest on the money invested.
ITO sum it up in a few words,
build hall that will house the pub.
lie library and the fire department
provide comfortable council cham
Der and place for city prisoners
and which will be an enduring mon
ument to the public spirit of oul
people"
