SPICE QUALITY

Spices sold in bulk will deteriorate quicker
than any other article sold by the same
method. Spices are ground so fine that every
grain Is exposed to the air and so loses great

IRRIGATION A SUCCESS.
One Million Acres of Public Land
Brought Under Water.

Baltimore. Nov. 2S.-Secretary Gar
field. speaking of irrigation. said in an
interview today:
This work has advanced far
enough to demonstrate absolutely it's
success. We have seen fruits. vege-
tables. grain and everything else
growing on land where nothing but
cactus ever grew before the day Of
irrigation:
There are 80 million acres of these
arid lands all told. We have COM
pleted the irrigation work on one
million acres.
LAS soon as they get the water they
are as fertile as any soil.
so far we have worked chiefly on
the public lands although adjacent
private property will benefit. This
land is turned over to settlers under
2 homestead act. although the old 16A
acre allotment is not adhered to. The
size of the lot is determined by its
fertility-20 or 40 acres In mosl
cases.
THE settlers take these lots with
the understanding that they are to pay
back to the government the cost of the
irrigation improvement in ten annual
installment5. beginning as soon as the
water is turned on. They also have to
pay the cost of maintenance, which
amounts to sixty cents year an acre
Under this arrangement the money
advanced by the government will all
be returned to 1t and it can be put out
again in other territories until all the
arid lands have been made FERTILE

LAW IS HELD UP.
Court Suspends Railroad Legislation
Recently Enacted in Alabama.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 2S.-Judge
Thomas G. Jones of the U. S. district
court has granted a restraining order
which has the effect of temporarily sus-
pending all of the railroad legislation
just passed by the legislature as APP
piled to the Louisville and Nashville.
The South and North Alabama, the
Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis
and the Central of Georgia railroads.
The court suspended the laws tenn
porarily for an investigation of the
claim made in the bills that they are
confiscatory and unusual.
In the case of the Central of Georgia
the order is made returnable December
16. The order in the case of the other
railroads is made -returnable December
2. These orders are directed to the
SheriffS,s solicitors, clerks of the cOun-
ties through which the roads pass and
all citizens restraining them from at
tempting to enforce the laws until the
court disposes of the litigation. Scores
of deputy marshals have started out to
serve the processes throughout the
state. The Central Trust company of
New York, owner of the second prefer
red bonds of the Central of Georgia, Is
complainant in the bill against the Cen
trail railroad but the other bills are filed
by the railroad agent in the state.
All the bills filed by the railroad at
tack the classification acts of the spec
ial9 session as being "manifestly unfair
and unjust'' .1-.
Railroads which entered into agree
n1ent with Governor Conner 1t is alleged
were given unjust and illegal preference
over the railroads which failed or re-
fused to enter into the agreement and
are permitted to charge much higher
rates.
3 The order of the court leaves the new
laws in exactly the same shape as the
old laws which were repealed by the
special session of the legislature. The
Louisville and Nashville has filed
supplemental bill with the u. S. court
praying that the litigation on the
docket of the court in respect to the
old laws shall not be dismissed. This
indicates that the company will insist
en- fighting the former litigation through
to the supreme court Of the United
States.
Governor Conner is out of the city and
no statement could be secured from
him. Attorney General CARRIER said that
he would examine the bills and would
call a conference of the states lawyers
before taking any action.

These are due, the officials here
think, to the curtailing of various en-
terprises in the United States and
the more settled and comfortable and
healthy conditions which now obtain

ninety per cent of the employees en-
gagged by the commission at the
fsthmus are permanent as compared
with percentage of approximately
forty in that class some time ago.
Men are more content to remain
on the isthmus than they were for

are better than in the United States
and to the general Improvement in

Hard Case to Decide

Washington, D. C., Jan. 9-Senator Nelson held conference with Presi- dent Roosevelt this morning upon the Wickcrsham case. The president is undecided what to do. He dislikes 10 drop Wickersham when only a hand ful of people are opposing him, espec- ially as all Alaska judges are now un- der fire, ana the attorney-general des- pairs of getting judiciary satisfactory to everybody in Alaska.
 It is evident that Nelson, McCumber and Hansbrough will continue their flibustering against Wickersham' s confirmation and unless the majority in the senate forces vote he cannot be confirmed.
 When the law is passed increasing the Alaska bench to five judges the difficulties will be multiplied, as it seems to be the rule that every judge in the territory has a fight on his hands before he is warm in his seat.
