pon A DEcrNT CHRISTMAS.

The court authorities of Birmingham and Atlanta have announced in the nest positive terms that the coming holidays must be observed 'qieeeatiy and in order" SO far as those cities are concerned. Judge sloan, of the Criminal Court of Atlanta, has let 1t be Known in very plain language that those who misbehave on Christmas day need not expect to get off lightly On the plea that 1t was Christmas times, and that lenieney should be shown them for that reason, That plea will not be good "the next morning" in his court. Judge Feagin, of Birmingham, takes the same position and makes his eetermination plain.
 What these officials propose to do is just what should be done in every city having municipal government. Of all pleas put up to excuse excesses and dis0rdsrly conduct nons is less tenable than for the accused to plead Christ mes as a defense. We have travelled long was' from the old Puritan con. ceptien of Christmas, it is true, and properly 50, but that is no reason for going 10 the opposite extreme and making tha day one of riot, disorder and aehauchAry. 1t should be q day of good cheer and of rational enjoyment, not eus of licentiousness and Iawless- nshs Let tt once be understood and psbvsp that thoss who violate law and order on Christmas day will fare no Dekter at the hands of the officers Shan win those who tn offend on aay other day and it will so far to make ths holiday season decent, or ueriy and enjoyable.

 Another years experience with n6- gro laborers from pearby tropical isi- ands and countries has convinced the Commission uf the imposBibilitM of do- ing satisfactory work with them. Not OnlT GO they seem to be dis(iualifed by lack of actual vitality. but their dis position to labor seems to be as ffail as their bodily strength Few of them are steady workers. The majgfity of them work just long enough to get money to supply their actual bodily necessities, with the result that while the commission is auartering and car ing for pbout k5,O0O men, the daily ef- fective force is many thousands less.

The gum season Is now on, and we are told that many people are now busy in the fof- Asts securing the crop. The ordinary article sells for si A pound but 1t is stated that choice and well-prepared specimens bring double that price. We suspect that the total amount of gem uine spruce gum, like the total .auan- tity Of .aple sugar, would noe supply Inc handredth part of the total de- mana Since they have learned how to make ali varieties of chewing gum from coal products we suspect that much spruce gum never saw spruce tree.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Big Warehouse of Kentucky River
Mills Full of Hemp Burns.

At $500, on Tuesday morning, an
alarm of fire from box 80, called
the department to the big CORFU
gated iron warehouse of the Ken
lucky River Mills, at Lock, No. 1,
North Wilkinson street, where a
fire had started by reason of spon-
taneous combustion. 1t was burn
ing furiously.
The department continued to
play two streams of water upon the
big pile of hemp stored therein for
pretty much the whole day in an
endeavor to save some of the hemp,
and were partially successful.
About $4,000 was the valuation
put upon the hemp, and it is said
about a third of it was saved. What
the loss, however, will be, will
have to be ascertained after settle
ments are made with the insurance
companies, which are carrying a
line of 80 per cent. on the stock.
The company will not allow this
accident to interfere with their
business as their orders are far
from filed, and harvest will soon
be here when the Irvine product
will be in demand.

LETTER FROM UTAH.

Green River, Utah, May 5, 1906.
Editor Roundabout:
Nearly three months stay here
has enabled me to witness an un-
usual development of new town
springing up, mushroom like, in
the far West.
The traveller passing this place
would very naturally ask, What
is there in all this arid waste to
build up any sort of a town." But
he knows not whereof he speaks.
The one answer is the unequaled
soil adaptation and climatic con-
ditons favorable to the successful
production of the finest fruits that
can be grown in the world, except
ing only tropical fruits. This,
coupled with the fact that the eli
mate, at all seasons, is almost a
panacea, especially for all pulmo-
nary troubles, make it dOubly at
tractive as place of habitation.
1t would be hard indeed for the
average Fastener to believe or
realize that more hard cash can be
made in such superb fruit belts,
on ten acres of land, than the best
farmer east of the Mississippi river
can make off of IA quarter section
of land-l60 acres. But this is lit
orally true. as has been Demon
strated time and time again. 1t
seems incredible, and it will, per-
haps, be impossible to convince
except by personal experience and
observation.
1t takes men experienced in
scientific fruit growing; men of
snap, Judgment and industry,
though, to realize such eXtraor-
binary returns, even with the
weather conditions favorable to an
annual production of fruits.
Under the irrigating system there
is never such a thing as drouth,
and very rarely such a thing as "a
failure in fruit crops, especially
apples. In fact no such thing as
failure in that crop. Cyclones,
billiards. and electric storms are
unknown in this region, and as for
earthquakes, the only one which
ever occurred here was when the
great rent in the earth's crust was
formed along the course of the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado
and let flow, with a mighty rush,
the waters of a great inland sea,
the top surface of which was not
less than one mile above the level
of the Pacific Ocean. On this there
can be no manner of doubt. The
