AN OPEN LETTER
To the RaRChGrS of MariCOpa County
Gentlemen

You are all interested in the matter of water for irrigation purposes and anxious to secure plenty of it at as low a rate. as possible. Every citizen in this county, whether he is a merchant or doctor, or capitalist or laboring man, should be just as deeply inter ested, for on your prosperity depends his prosperity. There is one thing that will help you in increasing your pros Perity, and that is to increase the Pur- chasing power of your receipts from the sale of products by buying as many goods as possible with the money. When you come to Phoenix to buy hardware,- barbwire, tools, a cooking range, or dishes or cooking utensils, visit the Cash Store-Davdson's Cash Store-114 to 11s West Washington St., Phoenix, opposite the court house, and see their big line of more than 10000 different articles in hardware tools, roll duck, crockery, glassware, stationary, notions, tons, barbwire, steel ranges, lamps, etc. 1t will pay you. We want your patronage.

" None Are So Blind as
 Those Who Won't See. J

There's no truer saying. There are those who won't see simply because they won't wear glasses. They see but half what others see. Neither do they see the danger of letting defective eyes go uncOrTected.
 Others see well, but do so by an overdraft of nerve and muscle force. Especially is this true in children and young people. The result is headache and many other aches, all of which when caused by eyestrain, may be re- moved by using proper glasses.

ABOUT SELFISH" PEOPLE

In a spirit of pleasantly and with
out any special idea of making soclo-
logical discoveries The Herald last week
gave out, free to all comers who would
acknowledge themselves to be selfish,
fifty tickets a day to the performance
of "A Message From Mars"
The results were astonishing.
1t must be confessed that it was
fully anticipated by The Herald that
it would have some trouble getting rid
of it's fifty tickets a day.
But, on the contrary, quite the re-
verse. Those fifty tickets were gone
before 10 o'clock Of each morning. and
on one occasion before o'clock.
Well-dressed and comfortable-lookin
people they were who called for the
bits of pasteboard. Some of the appll-
eants. especially among the ladies, were
dressed In the height of fashion There
was a curious absence OF those who
may be classed as the very poor or
the shabby genteel A large number Of
those who unblushingly confessed to
sslfishuess appeared amply able to have

New Workers who enjoy good things
to eat and who 60 to the big hotels to
feast upon new contraptions in the Gull
mary line, are just now enjoying a
brand-new vegetable. It is called
"chayote" and belongs to the eggplant
variety, but has been developed by
scientific agrlculturlsts so successfully
that II bears about the same resem-
blance to the original stock as a twen-
ty-inch prize chrysanthemum does To
the original little bloom the size Of a
dollar, from which It has been de-
veloped.
II Is not an unusual thing for the ex-
perts In the bureau Of plant introduce
tion in the department of agriculture
to receive almost plaintive appeals from
chefs employed in the great hotels for
some new food product upon which
they may exercise their ingenuity TO
tickle the jaded palates of their partic-
ular and finicky patrons. Bpicures and
persistent diners out make demands for
something new in the line of eatables.
something possessing just a touch of
sweet or "A tinge of acid which will diff
ferentiate It from the staple foods of
which they have become tired.
The task of discovering new foods Is
committed to the care Of young men of
scientific training, who are sent by the
government to all quarters of the
globe to search for the merest snip of
a plant which seems to have qualities
capable of development, or to choose
out Of a forest nut-bearing tree
which presents indications of CONNER
cial possibilities as a producer.
In following out such processes as
these an insignificant plant stock, bear
ing a limited number of small fruits,
has been developed into the new
chayote-a plant which in it's improved
form combines the three important
chara cteristics necessary to great value
as food product-quality, productive
ness and reasonable cost. The chayote
will grow 500 fruits to the vine, a more
numerous product and at the same time
of better quality and of larger size
than any market vegetable of its kind
heretofore grown. Growers may sell
their crops at a very low figure and
still make money on the investment.
AT present a profit may be made by
selling them at ten cents apiece, and
when the production becomes more
general, the price will probably de-
crease at least half.
Another food stock relied upon by
CneIS 1Or good IndHy cOncOCtlOnS OF
the substantial sort is rice. For pop
ular consumption one of the chief ar
guments for acceptance must be cheap
ness of cost. The rice planters of Lou
isiana and Texas were losing $3,000,0O0
a year through breakage of the long
kernel variety in the milling process in
vogue. The manner of extracting the
kernels by passing the stock between
rollers is admittedly bad, but no better
system has been devised. Consequent
ly the experts here began an investi-
CATION with the result that there has
been imported from Japan a short kerr
mel rice called "kiushu." Already one
half the whole area of the Texas and
louisiana rice fields has been planted
with it. A strange fact discovered in

the Introduction OF this japanese rice
Ia that II does not do az well IN wet
regions as i'm dry. For Mississlppians
is Is not so good q variety as they are
now growing, but for the Texans 1t Is
much better.
The problem of what to grow inlthe
somi-arid sections Of the country has
been responsible for some or the I'M
portant seed and plant-introduction
work accomplished In this country.
Some months ago attention was called
in this correspondence to the ready ac-
ceptance with which the dufum or
macaroni wheat of the Mediterranean
countries had been received IN tine
semi-arid portions Of the west It's Gull
tivation being so successful that the
experiment had been tried OF exporting
cargo abroad to the very section
from which the seed came originally.
Statistics gathered since that article
was written show that last years crop
of this new variety reached the high
total of 20,0000OO bushels. Because Of
the ability to grow IL on land which
had too little rainfall for raising the
standard varieties of wheat. and be-
cause of the larger yield to the acre,
the growers Of durum wheat found 1t
possible to pay all the cost of cultiva-
tion, garnering and transportation to
Europe, and TO set 1t down there at a
profit in competition with homegrown
macaroni wheat.
An agricultural explorer sent to
Turkestan number Of years ago
brought back species of alfalfa,
which he predicted could be cultivated
on the arid lands of the west with
much greater success than any then
known. The new variety has been
found to yield half again as much,
and in some localities double the crop
of the ordinary alfalfa, What such an
Increase means commercially may be
roughly estimated when 1t is known
that its introduction affects the whole
section from the two Dakotas and
Montana along the upper boundary to
Wyoming and Utah and down through
Nebraska and Kansas to Texas. Three
of the largest seed firms of the country
have been importing this seed in car
load lots, with full confidence in find
ing market for 1t in the west
There is no comparison between the
value and propriety of pursuing such
work in preference to spending govern
ment funds for continuation Of the
free-seed lottery of the past. 1t is es-
tlmated that free seeds have cost the
government $1,800000 as the initial ex-
pense. Those who oppose any further
distribution of free seeds hold that
there is nothing to show, after the ex-
penditure of all this money. Their plan
is to give over the trade in common va
rieties of garden seeds to the seed
dealers, who make a business of that
sort of thing, and to concentrate all
the expenditure in introducing new va
rieties of plants and vegetables and
fruits. and in improving those already
known. 1t is significant that the free
seed distribution now has the opposi-
ton of Secretary Wilson, Representa-
tive Wadsworth of New York, chair
man of the house committee on agri-
culture. and Senator Lodge and other
senator's.

bought the whole fifty tickets and not
missed the money.
But all the applicants came conn.
dently, and with CHEEKY smile an
ncunced. I'm selfish. Give me two
tickets" The noticeable absence OF the
very poor from the lines OF applicants
need not necessarily argue that they
did not, equally with others. desire the
tickets on the terms proposed. 1t sim
ply meant that poor people are not in
the habit Of getting something for
nothing" and doubtless were appre-
hensive that the tickets had some sort
of string attached to them which
they would be unable or unwilling to
cope withai.
The lesson Of The Herald's bit Of
pleasantly is not new. It is old as the
eternal hills. We are all selfish--more
or less. The difference is largely in
degree. At times of great public disas-
ter we are all comparatively unselfsh,
but for the average times and under
normal conditions the Inherent line of
selfishness will show itself. Happily
that line is in a majority of instances
SO small and so brittle that It breaks
at the first demand made upon It.
In other words, human selfishness.
more or less apparent In all natures,
seems to be part of the instinct of
self-preservation and It is only notice
able or noteworthy in those cases where
II has been permitted to outgrow its
natural function.
Probably the largest number of those
who applied for and received The
Herald's free tickets to "A Message
From Mars" considered the enterprise
as joke and doubtless presumed they
we're helping The Herald to carry out
a bit of advertising scheme. And so
they were.

LOSS CANNOT BE REPLACED

Amid the death and suffering in San
Francisco scant heed will be paid to
the destruction OF the Sutro library.
yet in after years few of the effects
Of the calamity will be referred to
with greater regret. Among the many
uses of his great wealth which have
linked the name of Alfred Sutro with
the city of San Francisco was the COL
lection of old books which he in
tended to give to the University of Cal
ifornia. He failed, however, to carry
out that purpose, and the books were
stored in buildings. which have now
been burned, pending the settlement
of his estate. Mr.. Sutro gave whole
sale orders to dealers and accumu-
lated a good deal Of stuff of no his
torical or market value. But he had
also secured large collections of man
uscripts from Bavaria and Mexico,
reaching back before the invention of
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-06

printing These had never been ade-
quately catalogued or studied, so that
there can never be exact knowledge
Of the nature and extent of the loss
by their destruction. But the MeXi-
can manuscripts were known in
general way to bear upon the early
history OF Mexico and California, and
upon the mission period of territory
which is now part of the United
States. The collection was expected to
throw needed light upon the history
of California and the Spanish possess
sions.. Its actual historical value was
not known, but whatever chance there
was of getting light upon a period
whose outlines are now vague from
documents in Mexico converts has dis
appeared. This collection was discov-
cred in Mexico during Mr.. Sutro's life
time, and it contained the only man
uscripts of the kind known to exist

knocking at the doors of this city for
admission to the charmed circle of
Greater Los Angeles. 1t will not be
long ere the territory and people en-
braced in Greater Los Angeles will
in fact extend from the mountains to

diets population of 100000 by 1907
without extending the city's present
limits. 1t is not wild prophecy, by
any means, and Mr.. Hamburger and

The Associated Oil company and the
Union Oil company, both of Los An

at the newspapers for mentioning the
names OF these companies in connec-
ton with Commissioner Garfields re-
port and the presidents message. But
II they have any arguments to make
or apologies to demand they should
present them to Mr.. Garfield. The
issue is plain and unmistakable. Mr..
Garfield says they prof1ted by illegal
and secret rebates. They deny the
allegation. The newspapers have re-
ported the contents Of Mr.. Garfield's $
communication. The rest is for the
courts to decide.

During the first FIVE days Of May,
15s building permits were issued In Los
Angeles for improvements valued at
s17s.sS2. This is at the rate OF thirty
one permits per day. or more than one
permit every fifteen minutes in each
working day of eight hours This is
going some. And 1t is particularly Inn
portant to remember that 1O4 of the 1853
permits issued were for homes. This
means a continuing addition to the per-
manent growth of Los Angeles. The
fact that houses for rent are exceedingly
scarce and that builders cannot keep
pace with the demand.' makes II still
more conclusive that this city Of homes
will have no limit OF growth and
progress.

THE LOS ANGELES sToRK

Los Angeles stands high in the class
Of metropolitan cities when measured
by one present day test. That is the
wide disparity in the number of chill
dren found in the homes. respectively,
of the very rich and the very poor. The
stork's behavior in Los Angeles ap-
pears to be quite as eccentric as in
greater cities where it is the subject of
much discussion.
In this years unusually comprehen-
sive work of the school census marshal
we find some interesting statements
bearing on the subject to which atten-
tion now is called The cersus mar
shall says, for instance, that in a GER
tain fashionable quarter OF the city
which he names, there are three SER
wants for every child" He also points
to a newly settled fashionable district
and makes this observation:
Last year the district was one of
small ranches and populated by per-
sons of comparatively small means.
The enumeration showed sixty-nine
children of school age. Today these
people have given way to others more
wealthy. The population is five times
as dense as it was last year, but the
number of children is only fifty-three."
AS an example of the other extreme,
the census marshal notes that in the
switch yards of the Southern Pacific
railway twelve box cars, each thirty
feet by nine in size. were found inhab-
tied by families of cholos. In that
group there were thirty-six childreh
Of school age and others younger" AS
another example he relates an expert
ence of one of his census takers in the
Sixth ward. Noting the swarm of
children in one street he asked a resi-
dent how many children there were in
the stretch of six blocks, and was as
sured that there were 1900.
But on close examination It is found
that the Los Angeles stork is not so
woefully lacking in Judgment as would
appear from the Incidents reported.
Neither the very rich nor the very

say comprises more than one per cent
of 4he population. In the great inter-
mediate class embracing ninety-eight
per cent Of the people, the favors of
the stork are distributed with evident
fairness. The familiar saying, "A poor
man for children" is as variable as
other rules. In many poor families of
this city there are no children, while
some homes of the rich swarm with
youngsters.
The best evidence of the storks fair
ness in Los Angeles is the general fact
that there are nearly $4,000 children of
school age in the city. That neces-
sarily means large average in the
homes of the great mass of population,
rated as neither rich nor poor.
The typical Los Angeles home is
frightened by the presence Of children
and made joyful by their happy voices
