LOWER CALIFORNIA PEARLS.
The Fisheries Are Worked by Americans
Employing 1000 People.

In the gulf of Lower California COM
pany working under the concession from
the Mexican government is operating a
highly successful plant for the cultiva-
ton of pearls. More than 1000 people
are employed, and the output is very
large. Markets are found in all the
great cities of the world for mother of
pearl, which is exported in large quanti-
ties 1t seems that two years are re-
quired for the growth of an ordinary
she'll, which forms in layers like an
onion. If TOO great a time is allowed
to elapse, the shell loses it's value, and
ii is partly the discovery of this fact
which had made possible the business
as now carried on. The shells are gath
cred in the eggs depositing season. The
eggs are placed in artificial channels,
made in imitation Of the natural bottom
of the sea, with proper protection from
the natural enemies Proper transplant
ing as the eggs develop and replacing of
dead with live shells result in plentiful
growth, and when the pearls have de-
veloped divers descend and secure them
in protected waters without risk. Black,
white. and yellowish pearls are among
the output; the black, being most val
liable, are worth close to $500 per carat,
the white about $3.50 per carat, these
prices being for the most perfect pearls.

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE
sofa EDITORS.
What They Think of Western
Canada.

What They Think of western
Canada.
A party OF editors from number
OF cities and towns of Minnesota re-
Gently made tour Of Western Canada,
and having returned to their homes
they are now telling In their respective
newspapers of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West st. Paul
Times recalls the excursion of the Miu-
nesota editors from Winnipeg to the
Pacific Coast ten years ago. Referring
to what has happened in the interval
the writer says: Thousands OF miles
Of new railway lines have been built
and the development of the country
has made marvellous strides. Millions
of acres, then lying in their wild and
untouched state, have since been trans
ferred into grain fields. Towns have
sprung up as II by the wand of O
magician, and their development is now
In full progress. 1t Is a revelation,
record Of conquest by settlement that
is remarkable"
The Hutchinson Leader characterizes
Western Canada as "a great country
undeveloped. The summer outing" it
says, was an eye-opener to every mem
Der OF the party, even those who were
on the excursion through Western Cam
ada ten years ago. over considerable
of the territory covered this year, being
amazed at the progress and advance
ment made in that short space of time.
The time will come when Western Can
ada will be the bread-basket of the
world. 1t was a delightful outing
Through a great country of wonderful
possibilities and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
government has revised it's land regula-
tons and 1t is now possible to secure
160 acres of wheat land at SO an acre
in addition to the 100 acres that may
be homesteaded.

did, and reports from the various dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices will give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone, Saskatchewan, there
are reported yields of thirty bushels Of
spring wheat to the acre, while the
average is about twenty bushels. The
quantity of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 100000 bushels.

A Modern Pearl Farm.

In the Gulf Of Lower California there
is in operation the largest pearl farm in
the world, where the cultivation OF
pearls has been taken up as u practical
industry. To harvest the annual crop
of pearls raised on this farm requires
the labor of thousand persons, includ-
ing the modern pearl divers, whose
methods have been completely revolu-
tionized by the up-to-date appliances
employed in this new industry. Pearl
farming, as originated by the Mexican
company which owns the big Lower Cal
ifornia farm, is the result OF the dis
covery of a very simple fact concerning
pearl bearing mollusks. After twenty
i've years OF study and experiment il
was discovered that the shell loses its
gem after it is two years old, and UNI
less opened at the proper time there Will
be no pearl within. Following this dis
covery the system whereby the shells
are cultivated until the proper time and
then opened was devised. from the
time OF planting the eggs to the harvest.

PASSING OF PRAIRIE CHICKENS.
Wise Bird That Knows Too Much tt
Mate Nest in Harvest Fields.

If q jury of students of nature from
Che Kansas prairies is ever gathered to-
eether and the question put to them
uWhat is causing the disappearance OF
the prairie chicken they would not ali
answer, hunters.
Very probably there would be hung
Jury, and the unexpected verdict of that
part of the jury refusing to lay the
blame on the gunners would be: 1.-THE
passing of wild prairie hay" A prairie
chicken is pretty wise bird. She will
not lay eggs in tame hay. Somehow
she knows that a mean looking machine
with big cutting blades will soon come
along and sweep the field of its mantle
Of green glory and expose her nest to
the elements, robbers and other devasta-
tors. She shuns the tame grass but
seeks the prairie hay. IL a prairie hen,
say men who claim to know, cannot
find wild hay fields in which to build her
nest she will go dry"
But the pheasant is not so wise. This
bird is being planted in Kansas by the
state game warden. 1t is an imported
bird and does not yet know the kansas
language" Strange to say, 1t is alfalfa
that proves the pheasant's chief enemy.
She will build her nest in the alfalfa
fields and then later shrek like blazes
because the mower has swept her nice
shady home away. The frequent cutting
of alfalfa does not even give the pleas
ant mother a chance to fix up one good

SALOON NO RESPECTOR OF
PARTIES,

Under the pressure of public
opinion now being directed against
saloons and the liquor traffic, all
persins interested in the promotion
of that industry have been forced
into cooperation to defeat the pro-
hibit.on movement that is sweeping
over the country. In the state of
Washington the issue has been
squarely drawn. The republicans
have declared for local option and
the democrats for prohibition. AS a
choice between the two evils the sa-
loon men would probably take the
former, but have decided. first OF
all. to organize a fight and pile up
a fund to control the legislature.
Announcement is made that the
democrats of Washington turned
down an offer for a subscription of
100000 If they would let the is
sue alone, but refused. This fund
will probably be doubled now in the
fight to defeat the issue of both par
ties and secure the election of men
to the legislature who will favor
neither local option nor prohibition
Temperance is now at high tide, and
the effort to stay 1t will be futile.

BANK INSURANCE TESTED.

The first test of the Oklahoma
bank insurance law has proven its
practical worth in the minds, at
least, of the depostors, who were
paid in full within an hour after
the banking commissioner had taken
charge. After paying out the
amount on hand the receiver simply
drew checks on the guaranty fund
and closed the accounts with the
depositors without further appre-
hension or the slightest Earring OF
the financial machinery Of the COM
munity.
This guaranty fund is provided
by tax Of l per cent on the avail
able annual deposits Of all state
banks. All the assets OF the bank
now become the property Of the
state, and II they can be realized
upon they 60 into the fund to REIN
burse the amounts drawn out to pay
depositors.
This operation has been simple
and satisfactory. The opponents Of
the law are not willing to base their
conclusions upon one specific in
stance in the early operation of the
measure, but contend that bad
banking will be encouraged by the
fact that speculative officials know
ing that their depositors cannot lose
will be the more ready to take risks
IN promoting that will in the end
increase bank failures and place the
burden of taxation on banks that
are conservative and solid without
giving them the benefit of their
well-known business security.
With deposits insured. the depos-
1tors. are absolved from caution In
placing their money and give their
funds to the keeping Of bankers
who are thus enabled to plunge, II
% inclined. into an era OF extra
hazardous risks to the detriment OF
legitimate and conservative bust
ness. Whether or not this appre-
hension Is we'll founded must be de-
termined In the further operation OF
the law and citizens and students OF
finance are alike interested in the
working out of the experiment UNI
der the terms of the Oklahoma law.
