All looked healthy and well and ap- petite good.
 First We went to the main plaza and the cathedral. thence to the American club where the secretary gave the visitors cards entitling them to the privileges of the club for two weeks.
 From there we went to the big Conona market where all kinds of eat ables are on sale and for there to lunch.
 After lunch we rode down to see a little lake called Agua Azul where, from nine artesian wells, 450 feet deep, about 100 inches of clear water comes boiling up.
 These eXappropriatOrs declared that they liked the looks of that
 Next We took a car out to the resi- dence portion of the city at the west end-thence back to quarters again.
 The travellers are resting now for the morrow when we will go t0 the American Colonia Seattle and take in the sights of the north end of the city.
 After these gentlemen have been here a few days I will write yCu an other letter telling you what they think of it. Today they expressed themselves as delighted with the eli mate and clear fresh air of Guada'a- .jara. GATES VI. FOWLER.

MILE HIGH CITY
 OF GUADALAJARA
Gates M. Fowler Writes of Agricu tural and Horticultural Surround ings.

Guadalajara, Mex. Sept. I.-CSpecal Correspondence of The Republican.C- This mile high city known as The Pearl of the Occident," is situated in the midst of very fertile section of country, and it is the purpose of this letter to give some idea of the oppor- tunities that exist here for the farmer fruitgrower and the man who wants ot live in the finest climate on earth.
 The Arizona and California orange growers may be somewhat surprised to learn that here in Guadalajara ripe navel oranges began coming to mar ket the goth of July and at the date of this writing the bulk of the crop is harvested and gone.
 This summer ripening of the fruit is brought about by an earlier season of blooming that the trees take on in this particular section of country, but the result is a happy one as the oranges are good color, sweet. juicy and tender and altogether a first class product.
 The present area is limited to few acres at Atequiza, a little village about 20 miles east of Guadalajara and the product is almost entirely consumed in this city.
 The native seeding orange. lemon and lime may be found growing and bearing loads of fruit, in every garden
Arizona republican., 1908-09-09

and patio. so that it is pretty certain that all the improved varieties of or anges, lemons and grape fruits may be produced here successfully. Injurious insect pests are unknown and citrus trees are universally thrifty and healthy.
 Apples thrive anC bear heavily but up to the present time very few trees have been planted other than the small native seeding varieties
 There are great possibilities for profit in apples as the Mexicans are very fond of this fruit and pay big prices for it.
 The same may be said of peaches. pears, plums, prunes. apricots. and cherries.
 In the berry line blackberries, rasp- berries dewberries. lOganberries and strawberries all thrive and bear heavy crops of fruit.
 Strawberries are plentiful and of fine quality and may be bought in the market every day in the year. but the other varieties of berries are as yet not grown in any quantity as only a few plants have been set out by the Americans for a test
 Grapes do well but have not been planted. At present Mission grapes are being shipped here from Fl Paso, Texas.
 Large fine quinces and pomegran- ates are in the market now.
 A few olive trees are growing about the city and they are said to bear good crops each year.
 Walnuts grow wild in the mountains about and several small plantations of the English variety have been set out and are growing nicely.
 Pecans are common and bear heavy
Arizona republican., 1908-09-09

crops of fine nuts.
 All kinds of small grains thrive and the flour of Guadalajara is known as the best in Mexico
 The state of Jalisco is one of the largest producers of corn and beans in fact these are about the only crops that the nativss try to raise
 Most of the blowing is done with OK teams and wooden blows after the style of the Egyptians 4OOO years be- fore the Christian era
 The corn and summer crops of peas. garbanZas. beans. squashes. etc, are planted after the summer rains begin in June, and are riue for harvest early in the fall
 Watermelons and cantaloupes are planted in February and ripen in June, and thrive best with irrigation
 Alfalfa requires irrigation during the dry season but produces crops through out the entire year. The present area of alfalfa is very limited and the en- tire product is consumed in the green state.
 Laborers are paid 35 cents to 75 cents Mex. per day and board them selves. Foremen get from 75 cents to $1.50 per day.
 The results obtained compare favor ably with what can be got out of Mex jeans in the Salt River valley when paid s1OO to $2.5O gold, and board.
 Laborers in this section are docile and tractable and Americans, as a rlne, have no trouble with them.

 Machines, Says an Authority.

Is it possible that in these days when cleanliness and sanitary re- form is being preached in the churches, schools and at public gath erings, that thousands of people will continue to suffer from catarrh, when there is an absolutely certain reme- dy always on hand.
 Hyomei pronounced High is a pleasant, medicated and antiseptic air Breathe it in and it will cure catarrh. It will stop foul breath, watery eyes. and crusts in the nose, in a few days.
 It is guaranteed by Larson Drug Co. to do it or money back, and such "a guarantee ought to be strong enough for anybody.
 Entirely Cured by Hyomei.
 Having suffered from catarrh for about two years, and having tried numerous remedies without any sat isfactory results, I finally tried Hyo- mel, and am glad to state that after using about one and one-half bot ties I am entirely cured. I have recommended it to others with sat isfactory results.-C. N. Lindsy, 4O7 East First Ave. Mitchell. s. D.

English education, but nothing more.
He excelled in athletic sports and
horsemanship and was fond OF life IN
the woods. He became skillful sur

profitable. BY the death of Lawrence

THE INDIAN WOMAN.

The Indians are very peculiar
race OF people, and what an going
to tell as a story Is an occurrence
which know to be true This happen
ed to man while surveying for the
government: While man now liv-
Ing close to us was surveying up
north he came in contract with many
Indians and one day he made his camp
within half mile of an Indian camp.
He built his campfire and was roasting
meat on stick over the fire when he
was startled by the appearance of an
Indian woman all haggard and half
clothed.
He could talk the Indian language
very we'll so he asked her wlat she
wanted, and she said that shn and
her papooses were starving as her
husband old Chief Pouawaien by name
had broken his gun, as they used guns
then, and could not kill anything to
eat, and that he had made i bow and
arrow and went out to hunt but that
as 1t had been showing and freezing
SO bad he could not get home" The
man taking pity on her made her come
in and eat.
But as she was SO hungry he had to
watch her and keep her from eating
too much. So when she had eaten
and was ready to go back, the man
went with her and helped her carry
half Of deer and some of his corn
meal home with her. And every day
he went and got her wood. And when
old Pouawoien came home his squaw
told him about it. He invited the man
over to smoke with which is token
of peace, and awhile after that the

THE BENEFIT OF A cHAuTAUQuA
TO A COMMUNITY.

A chautauqua is benefit to q
community in many ways.
To the city it Is not a financial benz
eft, but it has a good influence over
the people. Chautauqua programs are
good and the people that go are the
best people and go to hear the pros
gram and not to disturb Others
The program consists Of speaking,
music, moving pictures and many
other things.
In the morning they have lectures
and the Seton Indian to arnuse the
children.
Nothing is too good In the form Of q
program and they secure the best
sneakers that can be had from all over
the world
In the city many Of the poorer class
Of people are not able to hear these
good programs unless 1t Is at a chau-
tauQua.
There they can hear them at very
small cost.
I think chautauqua Is Of more BEN
eft to the the farmers than to the
people living in the city.
When chautauqua comes to a town
the people from the country come In
and If they live several miles away
they bring their tents and remain
during the session. But If they live
close at hand they drive in.
People living in the country do not
get away from home very often and II
is recreation and amusement to
them. 1t is also of great educational
value to those who DO not get to study
much.
| They also get acquainted with a
great many people that they would
not meet otherwise.
They have good management and
police to assist In any disturbance.
They have to enlarge their tents 50
they can accommodate all OF the peo-
pie
| When a chautaqua has been In \
town once the. people always want II
to come again.
The farmers come and buy season
tickets for the next year so they viii
come again.

ten letters and stories as well Us
receipts some time ago must Ii,
think that their letters have le.n
consigned to the waste basket. On
contrary they are all safe and snug in

their turn. We always feel that we
must have pretty little story written
by some grownup writer each week
as we'll as our original Junior stories
SO we have all the stories, receipts
