The following from the Arizona Blade refers to m industry concerning which much has been said but nothing done. It looks good and is worth the experiment. The Blade says:
 "Gene Woodbury has taken up 160 acres of land or Queen creek, just be- low the old Hughes station. He will fence the tr@t and cover it with Aus tralian gum trees. He expects to cut mine timbers from this ground at the end of five years and the grove will eventually make him rich. The rcd gum trees make the best telephone poles, railrCad ties and mine timbers yet known and the trees make very rapid growth in this climate. Rail. road companies ali over the United States are buying large tracts of land and planting them to gum trees to protect theriselves against the tie and telegraph pole shortage that is now a serious problem to them. The right kind of land planted to red gum trees in this climate will grow to be worth $l ,000 per acre inside of six years for the reason tha' it will, at the end of that period, in ties and telegraph poles alone, yield tat amount per acre. Once the groves are established they will, by proper care and attention, continue to yield large annual profits. All ex- perts who have studied the soil and climate of the lower valleys of the Gia river agree that the red gum will grow more rapidly here than it does in Cali, fornia. '

O.IAHA, March r. lSO7.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: In reply to your written re-
quest for my views OF the Armstrong legis-
lation enacted in New York and going into
effect January !, 1907, l give them to you
herewith briefly, as follows:
The Armstrong laws have completely
revoIutionized the life insurance business In
America, and we can truly say old things
have passed away" In other words, new
era dawned January l. 1907, and for the flu
ture companies viii be judged and their
business will Increase or decrease according
as results to policy holders are good. bad
or Indifferent.
1t is indeed, too soon to predicate judg-
ment upon the law In it's entirety, but ]
believe the majority Of thoughtful under
writers will say that the laws. in the main,
are wise and just.
Limiting the new writings Of the giant
companies to S15O,OOO,0O0 annually is good
The mad race for supremacy In new busi-
ness, without regard to quality or cost
and at the expense Of the old policy hold,
ers, had long before this legislation be-
come scandal and stencil in the nos.
trils OF all thoughtful men.
The contribution OF sacred trust funds Of
widows and orphans TO political campaign
managers was an unauthorized crime
Inc same may De said OF OnncerH ana truBs
tees participating In the profits OF syndi.
cate and subsidiary companies, every penny
OF which belongs TO policy holders. These
and other evils the law has remediod foi
all time.
The Armstrong law compels an annual
distribution OF surplus, and upon this point
there will always be honest difference Of
/ opinion. The writer favers a deferred dlvt
dend. with an annual accounting. but aftea
all this is a matter OF minor Importance
as the policy holder is permitted TO leava
his dividends with the company to aoon
mulate from year to year.
