SOAP TREE GROWS THERE.
Wonderful Algerian Vegetable Prod.
uct Whose Use Is Mystery to
Many-Virtues of Plant.

According. to United States
Consul Kiddar, of Algiers, the
sapindus utiIis, or "sOap tree"
was introduced into Algeria in
1913. The soap tree in Algeria 40
pears to be a hybrid and has char
acteriStics quite different from
those OF any of the known vari
cites coming from India, Japan.
China and Central America. and
it is superior to all in general use.
fitness.
The sapindus uti!is is a large
tree with a smooth, straight
trunk. The plants reach to ten
feet in height in two years, and be,
gin to bear in six years.
The berry is round, but with a
distinct keel like that of a walnut
encircling it. 1t is when fresh
smooth, shiny an sdeshy. When
dried it is tough, gummy and
translucid; the color varies from
yell0Wlsh green to brown. In
size it varies from about half an
inch to an inch in diameter.
So far the cultivation of this
tree in Algeria has been confined
to the lOw'lying lands near the
coast (the orange bel0, but it is
believed that it would endure a
more severe climate. The onlv
large plantation of these trees is
that of NJ. Bertrand at Ills prom
erty at BOukandOura, about Is
miles from Algiers, covering some
$50 acres.
There are no important manu-.
features of soap tree products in
! Algeria. The entire product Of
the plantation referred to above
went last year to Germany.
/ A good deal of the fruit is EN-
ployed in its natural state. and
many chemists produce special
ties from it, such as "saponine. /,
an excellent washing powder
"sapindine," a reputed hair wash
and other articles for toilet Dur
poses. Panama wood, which is ex
tensively used in Europe for wash
ing, contains on an average eight
per cent. of saponine, while the
dried fruit of the soap tree con
tains fully % per cent.

HOW TARPoN ARE TRAPPED
Vivid Tale of Mastering the Fish
An Hour Necessary Before Sue

The boat stops still; yonder is
a swirl on a wave, and a great fish,
with greenish body and a large.
projecting fin, appears above it;
i is a GREATNESS moment. 'Look
out, dar," yells TONY; there is a
splash about 30 yards away, your
line becomes taut and is gliding
out like lightning before you can
apply the brake. When yousdo

grasp and simultaneously the tar.
pom leaps and writhes above the
water again, says Outing. There
is no sight more beautiful to the
eye than that Of the tarpon,' like
a CLEAN Of light from darkness,
leaping forth from the green sea.
That moment when the tarpon
has the bait and you strike is the
one of all others most fraught
with intense excitement. 1t is the
first. crisis in the battle. He is
down again and your hook holds.
He darts back and forth, ever 20
ing deeper in his wild rushes. It
is an earnest fight. The first ten
minutes seem like an hour. Rush
i'm, reel up, don't let him rest"
following the advice, your arms
tire, your hands become numb, it
may be bleeding and blistered, but
you save your fish. Thus you are
towed out toward the sea, always
fighting. In his mad rushes the
huge fish gained on you, taking
out nearly 100 yards of your line.
During the first half hour be has
decidedly the better of the fight
and keeps most of the line. Dur.
ing the second half hour you gain
the lost line foot by foot and the
honors are about equally divided.
Now the long rushes and leaps be.

he did not help to kill himself by
these wild rushes and leaps, you
could never land him. BY some
kind of intuition, an angler can
tell when he has gained the mas.
terry over a fish. You feel instinc.
lively that the crisis has been
passed and the boat turns back
toward the beach; and as the
beach is neared you reel in and
fight at close range.
Once he dashes almost up to
the boat and suddenly turns
about; you nearly lost him that
time. You soon lead him back.
however. Now he lies near the
boat; you see his cleaning sides
glisten in the light. "Stiddy.
now" says our man. as the boat
touches the beach; you climb out
and, resisting his last waning
strength, as he lashes spray upon
you, you pull him out upon the
sand and the fight is won. =

CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS.

Within ehe last few weeks some very pleasing Improvements have been made in the M. E. Church. South. of this place. The entire church On the inside has been renovated, all the fur niture and the pulpit hard oiled aud part of it 0ainted. Where there were formerly two windows in the rear Jusl- back of the pulpit, there is now a door a little to the left which forms a good draught and makes it ever so much more pleasant in the church during the hot weather. The two windows were closed up, add+~~ much to the appearance of the pulpit. In the near future the church will be papered aud other improvements made. The great est improvement, however, is in he windows. The glass that had done service for a number of years was disposed Of and now in it's place there IS a fur set of windows with handsome stained cathedral glass. The glass was procured in Los Angeles and is of excellent quality and beauty. Considerable money has been expend- ed and t can be said to the credit of

THE SUMMER AT scOrTsDALE
Enough People Still There to Keep
 Things Moving.

Scottsdale, July l, 19O5-On Friday Misses Grace and Ruth George entertained a small party Of young ladies at o'clock tea in honor of Miss Margaret Underhill, soon to be married to MT. Harry AlvOrd, for merly of St. Louis but for several years a resident of the west. A happy feature of the afternoon was the fash ioning by the guests of a dainty set of turnover collars and case. a souvenir for Miss UnderhilI. Beside the guest of honor, there were present Mrs Percy Smith, Misses Bertha Blount Anna Harish, Dorothy Neff, Gussie Hayden and the Misses George.
 A twelve hour run of water this week is a most welcome event. Pump ing stock water is at an end and all falfa fields are getting a wettinS up. There has been some loss of young trees and a shortening of hay crops but grapes and melon patches have stood the dry time remarkably well and even young alfalfa is found to be living. Things might be a great deal worse than they are.
 Scottsdale is Q quiet place just now. Transient people have generally sought cooler regions and some of the permanent residents are gone or going. Mrs. Milford Hayden and children will visit the old Missouri home in Au- gust; Miss Isabel Rice is spending the summer with relatives in Los Angeles; ; Miss Harish leaves tomorrow for Den yer, and the Blounts will change their residence to Phoenix in August. But whoever comes or goes there are al- ways enough people left in ScOttsdale to keep theings moving in good shape. O. E. Brown and Newton McDuffy have returned from a trip to ROose- welt. They report the trip worth talk ing and other parties are expecting to see that country during the summer. Dr. R. M. George, professor of theOl- ogy in a Pennsylvania college. is spending the summer in camp with his family on the Hayden ranch. thereby affording Scottsdale people an unus- UaI chance to hear good preaching ev- every Sunday afternoon.

OUT IN FIRST ROUND.
Judge Emory Speer's Method of Si- fencing a Saturday Evening Rowdy.

Judge Emory Speer, who presides over the United States Circuit and District courts for the southern dis trict of Georgia, and whose decisions in peonage cases have recently at tracted wide attention throughout the country. is the possessor of a nimble and facile wit. In earlier days, before he donned the ermine, Judge Speer was q politician and power on the stump.
 Shortly after reconstruction he ran against Allen D. Chandler for con- gress Spesr was a republican, and his politice sufficed to bring him un- popularity among a large majority of the white population. It was his wit, his good humor, and his unfailing cour- age that carried him through the cam paign without a serious difference, and finally brought him to victory.
 On one occasion when the young can didate was addressing very demo- cratic and hostile audience, a brawny countryman was observed fighting his way through the audience to the speakers rostrum. It was evident that he had spent the preceding night with Jorn BarIeycorn, for his clothes were rumpled, his hair disheveled, and his l face of a fiery red that rivaled the monday sun in briliancy. Shaking a belligerent fist under thee nose of the i orator, he exclaimed:
