Writing about the Imperial Valley melon crop, in the Riverside Press, ! F.-C. Russell says:
 If cantaloupes bring the price they did last year, or even three-fourths as much, Imperial Valley is destined to realize more than a million dollars for it's cantaloupe crop this season. While the original planting of ten thousand acres is reckoned by con- servative men in the valley to have shrunk almost fifty per cent, the re maining five thousand acres are mak- ing an excellent showing. and unless something of a serious nature entire ly unforeseen blights the crop, the out hood of 1900 cars. This means 625,000 crates, and while they sold on an ave rage of better than $2 last year, $2 per crate for this number would mean $1,250000 net profit to the cantaloupe growers this year.
 There will be many more cars of late melons this year than ever be- fore, and the season will be dragged out considerably as result. Much of the acreage which proved failure on the first planting was replanted, and the growers who have done this are confident that the move was a wise one and good prices are expect ed for the late melons as well as the early ones.
 "The Japanese growers of the valley are among the foremost and have a total of more than 450 acres at Key stone The largest acreage in the val ley, and probably in the world under single ownership, is that owned by the Stanley-De Blois Company, which has 420 acres in one field, and 460 acres altogether, promising big re- suits. The seed was planted January 20, and the first plants in the valley appeared on this ranch in February. It is expected that this acreage alone will produce 70,0O0 crates, or 200 car loads, of cantaloupes.
 "In addition to the melons, there will be large shipments of onions, to- matoes, cucumbers, squash, green beans. potatoes and grapes made from the valley this season which will add materially to the wealth of the grow CTS Express shipments of Bermuda onions and summer squash have been going to the Pacific coast markets for the past two weeks and Bermuda onions by the carload are expected to go by the first of next week. The to- matoes will be coming on in less than three weeks, and the cucumbers and other vegetables by June 1st Grapes will figure prominently in the express shipments throughout the season.
 Many workmen will be needed in the valley within a week or two to properly pick, pack and ship the big crop of melons and vegetables, and there will be no lack of work for all who wish to apply for it."

The Darkey Wanted to Out

Jack Noon, proprietor of the road house at Thompson summit, on the < Valdez Fairbanks trail, was in Seattle a few days ago on his way to visit his father in Wales. He told reporter of the P.-I. the following story of the trail:
 "Say, I bad more fun this winter with darkey that was working for me than any performance you ever went to. He was as black as night and his dialect was everything and then some more. You see, when the weather is good and the sun is shining business Is dull on the summit, for m ushers only stop to get cup of tea or coffee. First time we had three or four days sunshine saw that the roadhouse bus mess was nogood unless 1 could rib up blizzard. got G,y moose horn out one day and told Walter, the colored fellow, was going up to the summit to make some medicine and call on the clements to do battle. 1 went up on the highest point and throwing up my hands called upon the storm king to do his worst at the same time mutter- ing lot of gibberish and lowing many times to the north, east and west. Wal ter looked on with his white eyes roll ing with fear.
 "Sure enough that night there came blizzard which lasted three days, and business boomed, some of the men staying with me until the storm abaSed while the mailmen and the more hardy travellers stopped over several hours at tlme. Then came three or four more days good weather and the road house was hardly noticed by travellers. Out went again with my moose horn and made some more medicine. Walter acted queerly that night when one of the worst storms of the season set In. How It did blow. Guy Birch and the other mail meu came staggering in late at night bringing several played-out men with them. Even they, hardened to storm, would not face the clements and between them and others business again boomed. The snow drifted high on the house aud the timbers creaked and I even felt subdued myself. "Well, all good things come to an end, and we got some more good weather. It was the second day of clear sky whom Walter told me he guessed he'd quit. l asked him what for and be told me. He said: The first time saw you make that medicine 1 laughed, but when you gave them the second dose and felt the mountain shake and the tim bers crack and groan I did not like it. saw you take few drinks of that hootch today and look out the side of your eyes at that moose horn and l don't want to stay around here until you give them ele- ments an overdose. l want 10 go to Valdez and then to Seattle and then Alabama, for there is where l belong
 "I ran down in the cabin, got the moose horn and made a call on the storm king for heavy blow should Walter start for Valdez. That settled 1t, he worked for me all spring and never did get 100 feet from the cabin. One day he said: 'Mistah Jack, why don't you get job wit de mail man and blow youh holm for good Weath- er9' But I never answered him."

 Capt. Chas. Auer, of the tight little steamer Corsair proposes to carry an excursion party to Middleton island in the near future The island lies about 65 miles southwest of KaSalla and is washed directly by the Kuro Siwo or Japan current. Gold has been found in the beach sands of the island which is difficult of access except in the Ane weather of the spring and sum. mer. The island Is without timber but there are all kinds of driftwood, many foreign varieties being found there, brought by the current from the Orient Grass grows luxuriously. The only in- habitant of the island Is Capt. Thomas Smith, who with man named German son started blue fox ranch there five years ago. Gsrmanson left the island two years ago for the purpose Of get ting cattle and starting a stock ranch, but he died at Juneau before complet- ing his arrangements.
 Smith, who is described as an abso- lutely fearless man, left Nuohek last June for Middleton, In a Columb bia river boat, and supposedly, he reached his destination safely. This fox ranch is the only successful one in Alaska, it is said. Capt. Smith raises tons of DO. tatoes on the island. and these mixed with seal oil, form the principal diet of the foxes.
 Capt. Auer, who knows every portion of this part of the Alaska coast, and It's many islands, says there is good land ing place on the northwest side of of Middleton. The island Is about seven miles long and three miles wide. Vegetables of all kinds can he grown there. The snowfall Is exceedingly light.
 According to the Valdez Prospector of May IA, Capt. Smith is now in Val deg having reached that place few days ago. Smith rowed to Valdez in his small boat, with 1O5 blue fox skins, worth about $50 each.-Katalla Herald.
