The riot of charge or sally;
No more they reel from the shock OF steel,
Nor thrill when the drum beats "Rally!"
Low they lie in the warm earth's breast,

And the whole broad land to love them.

AN INTERESTING ARTICLE ON
THE DRY FARMING PROCESS

on from the up-country slopes alta
concentrate il upon favorably situated
lands. In this well soaked soil they
raise quick growing crops of corn, mel
ons, squashes and grain. Unlike dry
farming in the ordinary sense OF the
term, however, these operations are
possible only in occasional favored To-
calities.
The underflow valleys of southern
Arizona offer agricultural opportuni-
ties of a distinctly different character.
A number of these valleys, including
the Santa Cruz, RilIito, and Sulphur
Springs, carry extensive bodies of I'M
dergronnd water within economical
pumping distance of the surface. This
water supply, especially In the vicinity
of mining towns where the demand for
produce is great can often be pumped
with profit for the irrigation of market
gardens; and at other times can be
used to supplement the rainfall in the
cultivation of less intensive crops.
"As an instance of the use to which
such waters may be put. attention iH
called to certain hardy eucalyptus
which after being started on pumped
water viii take care of themselves on
the rainfall and on the underflow into
which their strong roots will soon f1nu
their way. Once started, such grove
viii be of little expense to their owners
and in a few years win afford a vaIua-
be supply of posts, ties, mining timber
and fuel to their owners.
THE olive tree is equally suitable
to such situations, a remarkable illus
tration of the drouth-resistant char
sT,I
Casa Grande, where some fifteen years
ago large orchard was planted, but
was afterward abandoned when the
Florence ditch failed. These trees, sit
uated in the lower Santa Cruz valley
though unirrigated for years, have APP
parentIy not suffered, and have even
produced considerable crops of fruit
'In yet other localities, the ground
water rises so as to keep the surface
moist; but these localities are usually
very alkaline, so that alkali-resistant
plants and trees must be chosen. such
as palms, salt bushes, pears and pome'
granates.
'sAll this is not dry farming as the
term is understood in the north; but
is the form which the idea will proba-
bly, take under our seyerer conditions.
In Arizona, with her immense expanse
OF dry arid lands and her compare
lively small cultivable areas, it would
seem that dry farming may often be
made TO supplement the grazing indus
try, acting as balance wheel TO the
usually uncertain resources of the
range. In this connection it is Of vital
Importance that stockmen or others in
terested in the improvement of this
splendid semi-arid country should be
given such control, presumably by
means of long-term leases, of sufficient
areas from which to make a satisfac-
tory living. Such an administration
of the range viii in this country, as it
has in Australia, lead to the improve
ment rather than the destruction OF
grazing and dry farming resources.

nominated at Chicago to succeed him self.
 The so-called allies that is, the men who are candidates for the Re- publican nomination in opposition to secretry Taft-are unit only on one thing That is, they, with only one exception fSenator Knox) would pre- fer Taft to Roosevelt. It finally has daWned on them that they are not in the race, so far as likelihood of suc- cess is concerned They agree that the probability is that the nomination will go either to Taft OF to the Presf- dent.
 Convinced ot this. they have been amtnaa}e to the reasoning of Senator Aldrie.I. He has aboua persuaded them that the only thing to do, in the cir cumstances, is to combine on Taft and thereby make the nomination of Roosevelt impossible. Of course. some hitcbes in scheme like this are likely to occur; and the promoters Of the plan entertain some apprehension that the delegates to the Chicago con Yention may jump the traces and do as they please; but the argument is that with practically all of the "al- lies for Taft, the probability of a revolution in the convention will be reduced to a minimum
 The suggestion has been made that Senator Foraker. by obtaining a proxy as a delegate to the convention, might place Secretary Taft in nomination but it seems scarcely within the probabI- ites that that arrangement can be ef- fected.
 Politics is fairly popping in Wash ington these days and important deyel- opments in the most acute political sit nation in many years are likely to oc- eur at any moment.

BANANA MAN
 WAS ACQUITTED
Recently Arrested on . Charge oi Be- ing Fugitive From Justice Frazier's COurt Had a Kangaroo SessiOn-SOnS Said Father Ought to Be Lynched.

John Jackson, the banana man, was given a preliminary hearing before Justice J. A. Frazier Monday afternoon on a charge of being fugitive from justice, having been arrested several days ago at the instance of Mrs. An nie Jackson and her seventeen year old daughter, Esther Jackson, who claim to be his wife and daughter, although Jackson has a wife and son living in this city. After hearing the arguments of the attorneys ill the case Justice Frazier dismissed the defend ant.
 The trail was a travesty on justice. During the hearing Mrs. Annie Jack son. who claims that Jackson deserted her some years ago in St. Louis, leav- ing her with four small children to rear, wept ptifully. Her daughter and son, 19 year old young man who came here from St Louis to assist his mother in her fight, made life al most intolerable for Jackson during tha session of the court. They ire ouently left their seats and ridiculed him, the young man declaring that his own father ought to be lynched.' He made the threat in the court room that he ought to kill him. Justice Fra zier was kept busy calling the court +o order and insisted that he would not hermit his court to be converted into kangaroo court" Notwithstanding his warning and threats to flock the whole bunch up" the noisy proceed ;ngs continued until court was ad- iourned and the defendant dismissed.

Several times during the gabfest Jack son forgot himself amt jumping to hts feet offered d hundred dollars for a speech. lie was not permitted 10 make a statemeut however
 The evidence of Mrs. Jackson was not admitted after the points of law were argued, but a marriage license. which she brought with her and whcih is written in Yiddish, was offered as mute evidence. Prosecuting Attorney Caldwell asked for continuance. de cIaring that the proof of the marriage was on it's way from New York and would arrive in a few days. Hunt and Toney, attorneys for Jackson object ed to a continuance of the case and Justice Frazier decided in their favor.
 Jackson, the defendant, became an gered at the assistance given the un- fortunate complainant by a chartably inclined citizen of this city. and de- clared that he wished he could punch him in the nose Mrs Annie Jack son insists that Jackson is her hus- band, that he deserted her in several cities aften she repeatedly pursued him and reconciled him, She asserts that she will fCmain ill the city until she compeIs him to support her children.

Developments in Republican Plans.

Washington. D. C.. May 11.-A gen. uine political sensation is likely to be sprung within a few days. IL will be the most important development of the preliminary campaign for the Republi- can presidential nomination. If the plans of those who are directing the moyement Go not go awry it will mean three things of the highest importance to the Republican party:
 l. The nomination of William II. Taft for the presidency.
 2. The nomination of either Vice President Fairbanks or of Gov Char les F Hughes of New York for the vice presidency.
 ,. An amicable adjustment of the factional situation in Ohio, with a probability that Senator Foraker will have no opposition as a candidate for the United States Senate.
 It will involve the withdrawal from the presidential contest of three active candidates and perhaps of four.
 The arrangement is being effected by leaders in the Senate, headed by Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, who as conceded to be one of the most as- tute politicians in Congress.
 The whole matter has grown out of a "great fear" on the part of those who are in intimate touch with 'the interests" of the country that, unless something drastic is done, and done quickly, President Roosevelt will be
