from their alfalfa during the past year,
and that is why many are inclined to
believe that land is much too cheap
here. and will in no great while ad-
vance TO price somewhere in proper
ton 10 what it yields.
In talking with L. NJ. Acuff yester-
day. one Of the most successful of the
Arizona farmers, he stated that he was
doing very well this year on his alfal-
ia, which he would cut by the end of
the fall five times and it would yield
him seven tons to the acre. Mr.. Acuff
has a forty-acre tract one half mile
north of the fair grounds. under the
Maricopa canal. He has been on this
farm seven years and thirteen years
in the valley, so he knows by eXper-
fence what the soil viii produce and
BY what methods it can be made to
yield the most. Mr.. Acuff in the early
season devoted six of these forty acres
to watermelons, which netted him IN
round numbers $500, or over $13S per
acre. This was for very short time.
and the rest Of the year he can use
this plot for other purposes.
Then he has about 20 acres in alfal-
ia which this year he has cut to sell.
As has been stated, with the present
crop, which is not yet cut, the yield
on this twenty viii be seven tons per
acre or 140 tons for which he Will re-
ceive $3.50. One crop of alfalfa he
cut for seed, the seed bringing him
S206. This makes total of s1SS6 from
about 20 acres of ground. The rest of
the forty he has had for pasturage.
Mr. Acuff does not keep dairy stock,
but relies on the increase for his re-
turns from this pasture. He has 80
head. and in figuring up his increase
for this year he finds it Will be about
$500
Let us stop at this juncture and fig
ure up. The alfalfa crops, 40 tons.
over 1900 pounds of seed, from 20 acres
bringing $1SS6. six acres in water
melons netting $500 and increase of
stock on the remainder of the ranch
at 500, makes the gross receipts
s3.3S6. In addition to this, it must be
remembered that Mr.. Acuff has had
from his milch cows all the milk,
cream and butter which has been
needed for his family use, which is
quite an item when it comes in to the
city liver on his monthly bill. While

especially for discovering just what sort

The origin of Halloween seems 10 be
hidden In an interming'in= of classic
mythology and Christian superstitions.
The plan of making nuts and apples con-
spcuous in the Halloween festivities is
traced back 10 the custom OF the ancient
Romans to hold on November n feast
10 Pomona. the goddess of fruits and
seeds. AT which time there was n formal
opening Of the stores Of eatables laid
up in summer for use during the winter.
On this same date occurred the great
autumn festival TO the sun with which the
Druids or ancient Celts celebrated thanks

BURIED TREES UNEARTHED.
Sound Timber Taken From Ground on
the River Front.

The workmen employed in digging the
deep trench for the sewer which Is being
laid on Water street between 7th and 14th
streets, discovered last Thursday a num-
Der of trees buried fifteen feet down in the
earth near the foot of 18th street south
west. The trees are all lying with their
lengths at right angles to the line of the
sewer, and for several hours yesterday
the workmen, instead of using pick and
shovel in the excavation, were kept busy
chopping wood Some of the logs taken
out of the hole are eighteen inches or
more in diameter, and it is said they are
the remains of old maple trees.
Many years ago, when Washington was
in it's infancy, what is now Water street
was the shore of the Potomac, but its
level was much below what it is now In
cutting down the high hills that fringed
the Potomac, in order to open streets and
to obtain grade for building the ex-
cavated material was dumped along the
river and banked out, and in this way the
present Water street and the docks came
into being. 1t is supposed that in making
the fill for this portion of Water street the
line of naples that fringed the river shore
were cut down, left lying where they fell
and finally covered over. They have been
buried for possibly three-quarters of a
century and all recollection Of them has
passed from the minds of those now living.
The wood was still good and hard and the
men had quite task in cutting the logs
out to allow the laying of the sewer pipe.

AUTO ENGINE NONSTOP RUN.
Oldsmobile Runabout Makes Thou
sand-Mile Test.

A thousand mile nonstop automobile
engine run is going on in Washington
a big forty horsepower Oldsmobile runa-
bout is run through the principal streets
of the city in order that the time schedule
for completing the thousand miles shall
be kept to the minute. Promptly at 8
o'clock yesterday Mr.. John A. Lutz, local
agent of the Oldsmobile, left the starting
point at nth and r streets northwest.
After the engine had been cranked the
lever was taken off The engine will be
kept running continuously until the thou
sand miles shall be completed or the engine
disa bled.
The run will probably continue for about
three days and nights, the chauffeurs being
relieved every three hours during the day
and every six hours at night With each
chauffeur a specially selected observer sits
in order to correctly certify that such a
distance has been covered and that the
engine was in good running order during
the time he was a passenger. Mr.. LutZ
rode until u o'clock yesterday, when the
wheel was taken by Mr.. Fisher, who rode
until o'clock, and he was in turn relieved
by Mr. LutZ, and exchanges will be made,
as stated until the run is completed. The
engine ran perfectly and at o'clock sew
enty-five miles had been covered. Many
endurance runs of 1000 miles, it is stated,
have been started, but few have been com
pleted.

COMMITTEE FORMS PLANS.
Active Steps for Creation of Chamber
of Commerce.


Active steps are being taken in the move
ment for the creation of a chamber of COM
merce by the committee composed Of mem
bers of the Business Mems Association and
the Jobbers and Shippers Association. At a
meeting of the committee held Friday night
at Guides Hall, on street, the matter was
generally discussed and a subcommittee, on
constitution and bylaws, was appointed.
James F. Oyster former president of the
Business Mems Association, presided, and
Woodwork Clum was secretary.
Those appointed as members of the sub
committee to frame laws and rules for the
proposed chamber of commerce are Messrs.
Jackson H. Ralston, chairman; Charles j.:
Linkins, Monroe Luchs, r. A. Chester and
Allen D. Albert
This committee met to begin its work at
O'Clock this afternoon upon a draft of the
constitution and bylaws. This draft, when
completed, will be reported back to the full
committee at a meeting to be held next
Tuesday evening at I o'clock. The COM
mittee on organization will then decide upon
the time of calling the first meeting of the
chamber of commerce, at which the con-
stitution and probably list of officers will
be submitted
1t is said to be the sense of the commit
tee that 1t had authority only to suggest
the form of a constitution and organiza-
ton and possibly a list of officers, chiefly
as a means of facilitating business when
the body should be called together. The
opinion was expressed that much of the de-
tail of these matters could be worked out
beforehand, keeping always in mind that
the suggestions of the committee might or
might not be adopted by the chamber of
commerce as whole.
The committee constitution today has
before 1t copies of similar documents now
in force in other cities and it is the pur-
pose of the committee to incorporate the
best features of each in the organic law OF
the Washington body.

prominent in business affairs and who was
during most of that time the dean of the
pharmaceutical profession in the city. He
had been in failing health, and about two
weeks ago his condition became so critical
that he was removed to the George WASH
ington University Hospital where opera
ton was performed in the hope of prolong-
ing his life. DR.. Bates failed to rally, how
ever, and death occurred at 100 o'clock
yesterday morning.
Native of Virginia.
DR.. Bates was born in Fairfax county
Va, October a. 1893. He came to Washing
ton when a boy of sixteen and resided here
continuously since then. After studying
pharmacy under DR.. Kidwen of George
town, with whom he associated for two
years DR.. Bates removed to the southeast
section of the city, at that time the heart
of Washington, and entered the drug busi-
nes7 on his own account. The store which
he established for years one of the
leading pharmacies of the city.
When the development began of what is
now the northwest business section Dr.
Bates established branch drug store at
the corner of 18th and F streets and con-
Quoted both business places for several
years, but the branch store soon grew to
such proportions as to demand his entire
attention. For twenty-five years it was the
leading pharmacy of Washington, and DR..
Bates became the dean of the pharmaceuti-
cal profession of the capital. He retired
from the f street store in 1876, removing
to the corner of 18th and K streets north
west and twelve years ago he retired alto
gether from active business.
His long residence here and the confiden-
tial nature of his profession brought him
into contact with many of the public men
of the early days of Washington Richard
Wallach and Col. James G. Berret two of
the city's earliest mayors, were among his
best friends. DR.. Bates was one of the
Oldest members of the Independent Order
of odd Fellows and of the Masonic order
of Washington but for many years had not
taken an active interest in their affairs

Charlotte Williams of Lockport. n. Y. and

wedding anniversary, when hundreds of
their friends testified to the esteem in which
