NEW ORLEANS PROSPERITY.

Hon Henry Met all. collector OF
the port of New Orleans, who is il
New York for few days. gave ont
an interview upon The prosperity
prevailing at New Orleans, in the
course, Of which he said:
"New Orleans was the only port
not showing decreased customs re-
ceipts at the close Of the last fiscal
year The amount paid in as duties
on imported merchandise was So,
100, 900, which was 5000, 900 more
than in the fiscal year ending Jnne
80, 1903. The imports for the cal
endar year just ended will exceed
those Of the fiscal year of 1904.
"To give you an idea of the way
imports are growing at my port, |
will instance the fset that customs
receipts in three years have in
creased so per cent. F.; in five years
100 per cent. /; during the past ten
years 800 per cent. The exports
from New Orleans the last fiscal
year amounted to $l4l 900, 900,
while the value of the imports was
$34 900, 900. OF this latter sum
$40 900, 900 was exempt from duty
and the remaining SIS, 900, 900
worth was subject to duty. In
ports Of coffee were more than
bl20, 900, 900, while sugar entered
lad a value of about 81 1000, 600"

SHOULD PLANT PECAN TREES.

e. Forkert, iH the Texas Farm
journal writes thusiy regarding
the planting of pecan trees
| "There is an increased demand
for good nnts, the standard varie.
ties bringing many times the price
Of the smaller hard -shelled ones.
The millions Of dollars spent for
imported nuts onght to be earned
| by Southern and Southwestern
people where the pecan is at home.
Plant only the best varieties now
known aud offered by nnrserymen
The best will be the cheapest in the
end. The large, thiu-sheiled nuts
will always sell for higher price
than inferior kinds
One drawback in planting Pc
can trees has been the belief that
they were difficult to transplant.
This is, however, not so. A pecan
tree is transplanted with as good
success as an apple or pear tree.
just plant them with the same care.
Fertilize and cultivate as you would
any ether frnit tree, and your sue
cess is assured. While it will take
seeding pecan eight to ten and
more years before it will bear, the
grated pecan tree will begin to
bear the fifth o., sixth year after
planting and the tree will increase
its crop Of nuts every year there
after. The crop OF nuts from ten
year-old trees has sold ir some in
stances for as high as forty and
hfty dollars from single tree.
. The pecan tree is only in its
prime at from twenty-five to thirty
years, aud it will extend its useful
1ess and profit for generations.
While such land where pecan,
hickory and walnut grow native is
we'll suited for pecan
richards, with care and good treat
nent the pecan will do well on
,ood grade pine land. A sandy
Dam with some clay snbsoil seems
0 be the best location for pecan
Trees on such ground
Vill bear more regularly and bear
better quality Of nuts than on
aturally very rich soil. The pecan
as fewer enemies in the line of
Insects and fungus diseases than .
ny other tree of this nature"

ROOT OF ALL POLITICAL EVIL.

The Atlantic Monthly makes an
absolute statement Of facts when i,
says: "All onr political evils feed
upon the indifference ofthe people.
Popular demand is the ultimate
source Of good laws; popular in

OF bad law 1t is to be regretted
that the "squaw men, of Louisiana
don't agree with the Monthly.

wun Rest In One Grave.

There are people who carry in small metal boxes the ashes of de- parted relatives, but the grewsome- ness of such relics exists entirely in the thoughts of those who look upon the grey dust. The more fertile the imagination of the viewer, the more grewsome the contents of the box. To the eye it appears neither more nor less than what might be gathered from the ashpile in any back yard.
 But few, so far as known, are those who carry in their trunks the bones of their dead.
 One of the few is cattleman re- siding on ranch about seven miles from Oracle in Pinal county. And he is fine old gentleman, too, Is old Joe Chamberlain.
 In his trunk at the Willow Springs ranch are the bones of his father and brother. They are not treasured as curios, to be displayed for the qualification of the mor- bidly curious, but that the bones of all three may lay in one grave when the spirit of him who now guards them passes from this world into the other.
 More than thirty-fye years ago MT. Chamberlain's father died at Pitiquito, Sonora, Mexico, and about twenty years ago his brother died on q ranch in the Gila river country near Florence. A year ago Mir. Chamberlain went down into Sonora and from the old grave at Pitiquito, where they had lain for thirty-five years, took the bones of his father, placed them in his trunk and returned to his home on the Arizona ranch. Later he went to the Gila river country and exhuming the bones Of his dead brother placed them with those of the father.
 While the old gentleman re- gards the bones of his beloved dead as q trust to De sacredly guarded till the time when they can be placed in a coffin with his own, he is not averse to showing them to friend who may occasionally visit the ranch and a number of people in Pinal county have viewed them with mingled curiosity and awe.
 Wrapped in sheets in the bottom of his goodly sized trunk are the two separate piles of bones, and on each little heap "ghastly skull lies grinning at some jest to us unknown" And still adhering to one skull, that of the father, IS d small tuft of long red hair, slightly tlnged with grey.
 But to Mr. Chamberlain there is nothing awesome or shudder-in- spring in the contents of his trunk. They are the remains of the father and brother with whom he crossed the plains and rode the ranges half a century ago-the two men between whom and himself constant companionship and the trials of the early days wrought a bond of affection that will not die while one of the trio lives.

When that is done a large part of the school tract will be cultivated to vegetables, for which there is ready sale at good prices, at Bisbee, Douglas, Cananea, etc. The work will be done by the boys, under competent superintendence, and the proceeds will be of material aid in sustaining the cost of con- ducting the school.
