II never noticed any intoxicated
citizens while abroad, even in those
countries where beer and wines are

This was about as near as the sen'
ator would commit himself to a dis
cussion of prohibition, though he did
venture an opinion that he believed
that if the sale Of beer in a State
werS given over to one large brewery
under high license, it might prove
an ideal method for a State to settle
that feature Of the problem Of the
sale Of one Of the alcoholic beverages.

the political line was the distribC-

Senator Tillman has a number OF
pictures of places and objects Of IN
terest which he collected while abroad
and the newspaper men were about
to be given an opportunity to see a
photograph of celebrated public
fountain which evidently impressed
the senator, if one is to judge by the
enthusiastic manner in which he de-
scribed it, when another visitor call

CONDITIONS IMPROVING.
President Finley of the Southern
Railway Says Business is
Improving.

Washington. Oct. 29.-President
Finley, of the Southern Railway
company. who has just returned to
Washington from an inspection trip
of two weeks over the lines Of the
system, found evidences Of improve
ment in business conditions and Of a
general disposition on the part Of
business men throughout the South to
take a hopeful view of the future.
Speaking of the information he had
gathered on his trip, Mr.. Finley said /:
"Prices for pig iron are firmer.
Southern furnaces, as a rule, have
sold their product up to the end Of
She year, and the increasing number
of inquiries for iron warrant the ex-
>pectation that orders will soon be
placed for business during the COM
Ing year.
'''Lumber is more active than for
some months past. Especially is this
true of the grades shipped IN box
cars. The present demand Will be
augmented By increased requirements
from railways, principally for car re-
pairs, as some of the railways are
contracting with car companies for
some Of their heavier repair work.
"One Of the most encouraging
signs of revivinc industrial activity
is the increasing movement Of steam
coal to industrial centers. The un-
usually warm weather Of the present
fall is retarding the movement of do
mestic coal.
"The cotton crop is early, and the
fibre is moving to market in larger
volume than at this time last year,
although, as a result Of the stagna-
ton which has prevailed in the cotton
goods market, prices are lower than
"a year ago. The demand for cotton
seed products is good and they are
moving freely.
"The domestic market for cotton
goods shows indications Of gradual
Improvement. Owing to the accumu-
lations of large stocks and to other
causes affecting that market, there is
at present little demand for cotton
goods in northern China. Aside from
this. the export demand is fairly
good, and those mills interested in
She north Of China trade are looking
forward hopefully to a renewal OF
sales for that market.
>;:Grain traffic into the South-es-
'pecially corn-is light. This is due
IN part, to the relatively high price
of corn and the low price Of cotton,
and in part to the fact that at this
season of the year the South is con-
suming its own grain.
Merchandise stocks which had
been permitted to run low during the
business depression are being re-
plenished conservativelv. Retail
trade in the cities is good, but aS a
result of the low price Of cotton and
of disposition on the part Of retail
'ers to buy cautiously for the present,
jobbing trade is still somewhat re-
~stricted.
"While some lines Of business
have not yet shown as much improve
ment as might be wished, I believe
that conditions generally are decided
ly better than at any time since the
beginning Of the business depression
"a year ago, and that we have reason
TO look forward to gradual return

Guaranteeing Bank Deposits.

The new state of Oklahoma,
with its law guaranteeing the
deposits in all its banks, is at
tracing wide attention in the
financial world. Already may
! be observed in many of the news
papers notices calling attention
to the Oklahoma banks and ad-
vising people who have money
to deposit to bring it to the bank
where it will be guaranteed by
the state. This is what we have
urged for some time for our own
state, and there is no one thing
that would completely restore
the confidence in our banks like
having a law on our statute
books similar to the Oklahoma
banking law. In time of great
financial stress there need be no
fear of the small bank depositor
l O. n g his all by the bank
closing it's doors, for the reas on
that the state stands behind ev-
cry depositor and guarantees
absolutely that he will get back
every dollar that he has put into
the bank. We believe that the
guaranteeing of deposits should
not only be a state law but a
national law, and that sooner or
later the people will demand such
protection for their savings. The
United States makes the national
banks guarantee all government
deposits; then why not exact a
similar guarantee for the deposit
of the individual?-Des Moines

CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment
station III the heart of this big valley, which
is some twenty-four miles long, and in spots
ten 10 twelve miles wide, down on the lower
level. The results are wonderful. Last week
they were cutting crop of alfalfa Oh this eX-
perimental farm, and for seven consecutive
months they viii cut succeeding crops. The
only months when the crop Is not cut here arc
December and January.
Cotton and tobacco grow with the greatest
luxuriance, and this rich alluvial soil will be
noted in very few years as the ideal spot in
the whole country for dairying, hcg raising,
the production of poultry and vegetables, which
one hesitates to call curly or late, as they will
be perennial. New potatoes Will be produced
in the middle of January, tomatoes will be
ripe by the first of March, ripe grapes will be
gathered ia the carly DAYS of May and apri-
cots by the middle Of the same month. Chic
l1enS and turkeys flourish there in the winter
time beyond ALI experience anywhere else.
The rainfall is exceedingly light and comes
only three or four times in a whole winter.

Mammals Kiss.

This pretty child story is from
the French: .,
A mother tells her little girl
that because she has been
naughty she will not kiss her for
a week. Before two days have
gone by the child's lips hunger
so for her mothers kiss that she
begs her not to punish her any
more.
The mother says: "No, my
dear. told you that l should
not kiss you, and l must keep
my word" ::
"But, mamma, mamma, says
the little girl, "would it be break
ing your word if you should kiss
me just once tonight when I'm
asleep?"

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object of this story is to call atten-
ton once more, and for perhaps the thou
sandth Time to the riches of the soil along
the Colorado on both Sides incident to the

the past ages. Going through the country
On the Arizona side of the river, for several
miles below Yuma, one encounters the same
type of country and soil that is found in the
Imperial Valley country around Brawley,
CaleXicO and other points west Of the river
The fertility of the black prairie soils of Illi-
nois has astonshed people engaged in agri-
culture for nearly one hundred years. The
fertility of the valleys Of the Nile has been n
matter OF history for at least 61C0 years. Those
who are familinr with Illinois prairie soil,
and those who know what the valley Of the
Nile is for agriculture. know that this lower
Colorado Riyer-region surpasses both of them.
If you ask a farmer along this stretch of
country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will

ONCE \ MIGHTY STREAM.

Ages ago when the mountain ranges of
Arizona and California lowered toward the
stars, at least twice as high as they do now,
rains were very freduent and came down in
torrcntal volumes all along these mountain
ridges. The Colorado River in these past ages
was "A mighty stream, sweeping down debris
in tons every second Of its flow. The Colora-
do sink was at that time great inland sea,
which spread over the country on both sides
of where the river now runs AS the erosion
of winds and storms, landslideS and glaciers
wore down the ountain ridges year by year,
the great river carried down vast amount
of silt, erosion from the rocks full of phos.
pilates, lines and dlsintcrgrated GRANTEES, as
well as the vegetation along It's banks; and
this was all deposited in what are now the
sinks of the Colorado.
AS the mountain tops were worn down, the
rains became less frequent and less in volume
but the erosion of rocks and river banks, the
trees and vegetable mould torn from the
banks still came down and settled into the
bottom of the great inland lake. This geogical
process went OH from age to age to cur time
leaving the Colorado at Yuma Il stream bout
half Il mile wide and being at the present
time about twenty feet deep in the deepest
portion.
1t is not necessary to remind Californians
that the Spanish missionaries and explorers
called this river the Colorado because of the
reddish color Of its waters. 1T is.the Colorado
up in the Grand Canyon in Arizona and
down past The Needles. But at this time of
the year, after passing the mouth OF the Gila,
instead of the red river it becomes the brown
river. 1t actually looks today as if ten per
cent of its flow was silt and only ninety per
cent wafer
