Date Palm Culturist Vists Yuma.

Mr. Is. C. Johnson, an enthusiast and
 expert on date palm culture, who has
 charge of the government experimental
 date farm at Mecca. was in Yuma last
 Saturday, to gain some information as
 to what was being done, or what would
 be done and how soon, toward control ling the flow of the Colorado river and
 turning the stream back into it's old
 channel.
 Mr. JohnsOn's 3 interest in this matter
 may be better understood when it is
 known that his pet orchard of date
 palms is located in the Salton basin and
 is now threatened with destruction by
 the rapidly rising sea. When he left
 Mecca the water was within 21 feet of
 his date palms, and naturally he felt
 that it was about time for him to be
 looking for a new and safer location.
 Speaking of this orchard. Mir. John son said it covered r. acres, which were set to palms only two years ago. Most Oi CuC t'diluo III DSdI SoihC iIulG tiiS year-Ohat k to say if they are not sub merged by the troublesome Salton sea. However, he said, the palms could be moved and transplanted without injury. and that was one thing he had in view in coming, to Yuma-;i new home for the precious plants which he has watch ed, cared for and nurtured as faithfully and with as much soliciLude as that of a mother for her child.
 MT. .lohson's interest in date palm culture began q number of years ago. In 1903 he made trip to Algeria to investigate the industry in it's native heath. He visited I'iskra, the gate way of the Sahara, where this govern ment has date farm, and spent some time there, becoming thoroughly fa- miliar with the propagation of the diff ferent varieties and gaining a knowl- edge of their culture which he has put to good use in the Colorado desert. On returning to this country he settled at Mecca, station on the Southern Pacific 13 miles east of IndiO. Here he found conditions much the same as those of the Sahara oasis and started date palm orchard on his own hook. The venture was not an entire success, as the land he selected was little too salty. Later, however, when the ag- rieultural department started date palm experiments at Mecca, Mir. John son was placed in charge of the opera tions. His success has been complete and most gratifying, both to the got- ernment and himself and to all who are interested in date palm culture. Mr. Johnson says that the government date palm orchard started here about year ago is doing well, and he thought there was no doubt that it would prove as great a success as has the Mecca exper- iments. Nothing seemed to be lack ing, he said; the conditions are almost identical with those where the native fruit reaches perfection. On small scale this fact has already been demon strated in the production of the fruit in the yards of Yuma homes. Some day the Yuma section will become famous as the natural home of the date on the American continent, where the fruit will be produced in it's perfection and in commercial quantities, along with the fig, the olive, the lemon and lime, the orange and other fruitsof the same or class.

REAPPORTION NEWARK.
Democrats Denounce Republican
Ordinance as GerTymander.

The Republican Common Council in Newark
last night rushed through three readings OF an
ordinance providing for a complete reapportion-
ment of the city to establish sixteen wards in
stead OF fifteen, as at present. It was stormy
session. made so by the three Democratic mem
bers, led by John F. Sinnott-
Few minutes elapsed between the time when
the vote was taken on the last reading and
Mayor Henry NJ. Doremus affixed his signature
to the ordinance. Branded by the Democrats as
a gerrymander plot of the Republicans. the
ordinance will mean the appointment of new
member for the Board of Freeholders and OF
two members OF the Board of Education.
At the recent election the Democrats won con-
troll of both these bodies and there are about
24O city and county offices to be filed. The
ordinance was put through while the Democratic
members of the Board of Freeholders were
Wrangling over a slate which they have been
trying to agree upon for more than two weeks.
Several Democratic lawyers were present at
the Council meeting, when the reapportonment
ordinance was put through With the Democratic
aldermen and some Of the party leaders they
held conference and decided 10 institute legal
proceedings TO prevent the carrying out of the
provisions of the new ordinance.
Each ward In the city Is entitled to repre-
sentative in the County Board OF FTeeholders
As a result of the recent election the incoming
Board of FreehOders would stand sixteen DEM
ocrats and fifteen Republicans. \ new Free
holder Will have to be appointed for the new
ward.
The appointing power is Republican. on
Monday. when the new Board Of Freeholders
meets, Reuben Odell will appear at the meeting
with credentials FreehOlder from the new
ward and tie UP the board. That will prevent
the Democrats from ousting 40 office holders
and replacing them with Democrats
The incoming Board of Education is q tie now.
The new ward is entitled To two members Their
appointment will give tho Republicans clear
ma iOrity of two.
The new ward is also entitled to two aldermen.
Vacancies in the Board OF Aldermen, however,
cannot be filed by any appOintiye power. and
tI, hax-a ho al0
present outlook therefore. is that the Demo-
Gratis will organize the new board.
