THE ROUGH RIDERS
 LOYAL 10 ARIZONA
How They Receive the Letter of Dell
 egate Andrews.

Among the Rough Riders who re- ceived a copy of the letter of Delegate Andrews of New Mexico to members of that organization was R. :. Patter- son. formerly of Yuma but now a resi- dent of KopperI. Texas. The letter is a foolish appeal to the loyalty of the Rough Riders to Col Roosevelt.
 The reply of MT. Patterson to Dele gate Andrews was published by the Yuma Sun and is as follows:
 ''W. H. Andrews. Esq.

This morning he wanted nothing but a
walk. He had slept badly, the blood was in

How clever Of your excellency to give us
just enough for ourselves and nothing for
our friends! And those that went want
more and more. They have called upon

wept and scolded and pleaded. I did not

had also shown the things to the priests
from San Jose-Father Jose Uria and
Father Pedro de la Cueva. They and the
priests of San Francisco have argued with
the governor not once but three times.

nor even of the treaty, although nothing
could have been more natural than the
discussion Of details Whenever he had
de1icately preached either subject he had

had little in common with the cordiality

might be obliged to reveal the more press

beyond endurance.

after a culinary achievement worthy of

of mind. Upon the arrival of the two Cali

had sent Davidov and Langsdorff on shore
to assure them of his gratitude and deep
appreciation of the hospitality shown him
self. his officers and men. The governor
had replied with fulsome apology for not
repairing at once to the Juno to welcome
his distinguished guest in person. and,
pleading his age and the one hundred and
seventy-five English miles he had ridden
from Monterey. begged him as a younger
man to waive informality, and dine at the
house of the comandante that very day..
Rezanov had complied as matter of
course, and now he was alone with the
men who held his fate In their hands The
dark worn rugged face OF Don Jose, who
had been skilfully prepared by his oldest
daughter to think well of the Russian,
beamed with goodwill and interest in spite
of lingering doubts; but the lank wiry fig

as only blond Spaniard can be, was fairly
rigid with the severe formality he reserved
for occasions of ceremony-being a gentle

Improvement in Beet Culture.
Louisville Courier-Jomnal.

From the Louisville Courier-Jownal
The announcement that a scientist con-
nected with the Agricultural Department
has developed a "one-germ" beet seed Is
important, for such a discovery will solve
the problem of economical beet culture In
this country. Sugar and farming interests
are alike concerned. A beet seed Is, in fact.
not seed. but a cluster of seeds in a small
husk. When sown each germ in the husk
starts little plant. In order that one plant
may develop a beet fit for sugar making
the other plants must be pulled away.
Abroad, where labor is cheap, this is not
such costly work. but over here, since
the task must be performed by hand. the
expense is very heavy. This handicap has
prevented the beet sugar industry from
growing very rapidly in this country. A
"one-germ" seed can be planted by machin-
cry at proper intervals, no pulling of su-
perhuous plants will be necessary and the
cultivation of beets may be engaged in
and profitably.

By the Knudson process this company
can manufacture liquid air at shillings
gallon, which, in vacuum containers. will
not evaporate for seventeen days. For the
first time, as demonstrated the other day,
LIQUID air can be manufactured entirely
without chemicals and at a greatly reduced
cost. The company recommends 1t as power
for automobiles and for blasting coal. In
the latter case a leadlike combination OF
metals is used as a cartridge. AS the liquid
air expands 1t will exert a pressure of 49,
600 pounds to the square inch. Long be-
fore that pressure is reached however the
bomb explodes and dslodges two or three
tons of coal. Liquid oxygen is also manu-
featured for medical purposes.
Its substitution for petrol dynamite and
ice are only few of the commercial possi-
bilities of liquid air.
