The Colorado & Northwestern rail-
road has found it necessary to build a
spur into the reservoir. the track be-
ing about two miles long. When this
is finished the company will be able TO
receive its supplies several days ear
lier than at present, and the work will
be vastly facilitated.
When the work is completed Boul-
der county will begin a new era o.
prosperity, as many mines that can
not be operated at present on account
OF the difficulty of obtaining cheap
power will be able to open up at once.
1t is also expected that several fac
tories will be built. either in Boulder
or the adjoining towns of the county,
and that an immense amount of money

the two rivals will rebound to the ben \
eft Of the citizens of Boulder, as 1t wilN
result in much cheaper power than Is

Cooperias.

'Cooperias are interesting Dubious
plants growing in New Mexico and
Texas. They are of the amaryllis
faTnlly and are small genus of only
two species, c. Drummondii and c.
Pedunculata. Botanically they are
separated from the zephyr flowers only
by some small distinctions in their
anthers and some difference in the
character of their leaves. From a
garden point OF view the chief distinc-
ton is that the cooperias known as the
giant fairy lilies and evening stars are
night Towering, while the zephyr
anthes prefer the more conventional
daylight. The C. Pedunculata has the
larger and more attractive flowers,
which are two inches in diameter, white
and rose tinged on reverse petals. C.
Drummondii are of same coloring but
smaller, while the variety chlorosolen
has greenish tints The bulbs of these
two families seem to occur in swampy
or wet ground although they flourish
IN ordinary garden borders, but like
all bulbs, they will not continue to
prosper unless properly nourished and
grown on till the new growth is per-
tected. The leaves are one-ha1f inch
wide and about eight inches long, flow
ers OF good substance and fragrant

COMMON GINGER.
Zingaber Omcinale.

Some time ago the Miami Metropo-
lis printed an item to the effect that
a grocer of that city had received a
package of ginger rots, many of which
were sprouted, and that he planted one
or more which grew. From this it
drew the conclusion that if it continued
to thrive, it would show that ginger
could be proftably grown in that sec
ton. When we came to Florida, over
~ years ago, ONE of our neighbors
here had ginger growing. It has a
reed-fike stem about two feet high. It
is entirely hardy in Florida, but we
very much doubt if it's cultivation will
ever become very common or profitable
in this state. 1t may be grown as a
curiosity but does not bloom freely,
nor are the flowers snowy.

Protect the Wild Flowers.

The following suggestion is from the
Twentieth Century Farmer. A society
having for it's object the preservation
of our wild flowers was organized in
the northern states some time ago.
We have not heard anything about 1t
lately, but presume that it is still work
ing along quietly trying to create a
sentiment in favor of preserving the
floral treasures OF this country. The
Twentieth Century Farmer says:
There is a fear that civilization may
eventually wipe out the wild flowers of
our country. Undoubtedly this could
be accomplished in a comparatively
short time if many set about to deliber-
ately destroy them. Slowly but surely,
we are depriving them OF their wild
retreats. Unless we do all in Our
power to preserve and propagate every
species, we may rest assured that a
few centuries hence many Of Our beau
tiful wild flowers will no longer be the
common wild flowers OF America. Can
we not all become members OF a great
society for the preservation OF Our wild
flowers! The only requirements are
that we never wilfully destroy harm
less flower, that we do all in Our power
to protect and propagate species and
that we lnstlll in Our children these
principles of loving and preserving
natures gifts.

Go bay and market the crops that were spelling on the trees and vines. The prices offered were profitable Co the owners of the land, and they had no alternative. They had to accept or lose their crops. So they accepted, and the striking workmen returned to work for their compatriots, at much less rate of wages (or perhaps the whole transaction was a cooper ative affair, in which all the Orientals participated). Another year the Japanese leased the orchards and vineyards, and grad ually bought up, until an entire valley would change from Amer ican to Japanese. That has been the fate of the Vaca valley, one of the fairest spots Tn all California, which was noted far and wide for it's orchards, vineyards and happy American homes. It is all Jap- anese now, and the town of Vaca- vile has become Japanese city. First the laborors, then the store keepers, and finally the landowners themselves have been supplanted by the Orie ntals.
 When the American people realize that the tendency is in that direction, which they will do short ly, there will be a stop put to farther incursions of the labor seeking barbarians, and those here will have to return to Asia. or there will be war; after dinner speeches of great statesmen and willy diplomats to the contrary not withstanding.

 The Esperanza store has placed a. large order for dry goods, cloth ing, furnishing goods, etc. with May Hermanos of Hermosillo for immediate delivery.
 Ducks. quail, doves and deer are plentiful and easy to get now in the valley. Fresh summer vegetables are becoming plentiful as compared with the last few months and liv- ing is becoming pleasure.
 J. NJ. Mcfarland, pile driver foreman for the Richardson Con- struction Company and as good a worker as ever wore two shoes, starts this week for vacation in the timber country east of La Bufa and Trinidad in the Sierra Madres.
 Fine weather has come and for week we have been enjoying deliciously cool nights and perfect mornings. The midday sun still forces the mercury "in the shade!' up to 90 or whereabouts, but that is not uncomfortable with the dry atmosphere accompanying it.
 Edmondson & Reaves are pro- gressing rapidly with their canal contract, their machinery working we'll and handling now about 1900 to 1900 cubic meters per day. In addition to the machine work they have sublet several contracts to local contractors for ucting laterals by team and scraper method.

The headgates of this lateral are intact and in good shape, having been constructed of brick.
 MT. David Richardson, president of the Richardson Construction Company, has been spending four days in Los Angeles on the business of the company, after month in the City of Mexico where he suc- ceeded in arranging the final details of the water concession with the Secretary of Fomento. He leaves for New York today to take up the work of the company at the New York office, , Nassau street. The New York office will in future be the main office of the company, with branch offices at Los Angeles and Esperanza.
 The committee of farmers started from Los Angeles Monday and are expected to arrive here at Esper- anza on Thursday, the 10th. They are Russian Molokanes represent ing about 50,000 homeseekers who are anxious to break away from their native land. The committee will be accompanied by MT. Sin nard, representing the Southern Pacific railroad and Mir. Froloff, interpreter. They will be shown the lands and the growing crops in the valley and will be left to decide for themselves whether they like the place or not. They are good grain farmers; industrious, simple. fearing people.

THE ORIENTAL PROBLEM.

Almost simultaneously with the accounts of Secretary Taft's recep- tion at Tokio, the Japanese capital and the details of his speech at the banquet rendered him, in which the secretary assured his hearers that there is no danger of war be- tween the United States and Japan, and that such war would be a criminal calamity, and the report of the commission sent by the Canadian government to investi- gate the anti-Asiatic riots at Van couver, which does not conceal the fundamental fact that the riots were the result of an ineradicable racial feeling, a missionary re- turned from the Orient, Bishop James NJ. Thoburn, who has spent more than half century In the Far East, addressing the Columbia River branch of the Woman's Missionary Society, at Portland, Oregon, declared that within a few years America will be swarming with Hindus, Japanese, Chinese and Koreans. The following taken from the telegraphic account of Bishop Thoburn's address will be read with interest:
 Dr. Thoburn, who is presumably the best known missionary in the world and who has spent more than half century in the Orient and India, declared he regards this to be worldwide move ment of nations of tremendous magni- tude. Dr. Thoburn declared he was convinced that those who have already come are but forerunners of tens of thousands that are to follow, not only from India, but from China, Japan and Korea.
 We may as well try to sweep back the tides of the ocean as to keep them out" he said.
 If the missionary bishop is cor rect in his assertions, then are the people of the west coast of North America facing a grave crisis. And all the fraternal speeches of all the cabinet ministers the government at Washington can send across the water cannot prevent its culmina- ton, nor forefend the struggle that Is inevitable. The race which has now a foothold upon the western shore of this continent will not give up the holding 1t has acquired to the invasion that is threatened. and that is all there is to it.
