Arizona Rapidly Developing.

]. @. A. King, Phoenix, Ariz., is en-
thusiastic as to the present PERFORM
ances and prospects of Arizona. He says
that they are going to make the whole
country wonder at what they do. They
are ahead of all others in copper pro-
duction, with a total product of 37,000.-
900 pounds last year. An Illinois farm
er says that he can make more off Of
40-acre farm in Arizona than he
could on his 160-acre farm in Illinois.
Last year the Territory produced 300,-
600 bushels of corn, 3SS,000 bushels Of
wheat, 116,000 bushels of oats, 923,006
bushels of barley and 261,000 tons Of
hay, making a total valuation for agri-
cultural products of S5,122,000, on
143 acres, making an average produce
ton of s37 per acre, which is the high
est showing that car be made any
where in the country. They are going
ahead wonderfully in fruit, especially
oranges, and also in melons and garden
products. When the Salt River and
Yuma irrigation projects are completed

times termed, Hawaii being the other;
that Is, vessels going in almost any di-
rection across the worlds greatest eX-
panse of waters almost necessarily must
touch at either Hawaii or Samoa and
probably both. This probably gave rea-
son for calling the group Navigators'
Islands, as they were known until quite
recently, when their native designation
was revived.
Germany, in her eagerness to become
a world power, saw their Importance
and sought to acquire them. The islands
were under the control of their native
chiefs, who professed feudatory alle-
glance to one of themselves, whom they
called King, but gave only qualified
obedience. The next step in this was
that Germany, intriguing to secure the
control of the islands, began building
up claimants to the throne in opposition
to the King, who was more favorable to
Great Britain and the United States.
Next Great Britain entered into the
game to counteract the German machin-
ations. and the United States, who had
interests to either of the other
powers, did not remain an idle spectator
In 1888 the opponents of the Germans
secured the election of Mataafa as King
against Tamasese, whom the Germans
Mataafa succeeded in de-
feating Tamasese and even in whipping

were supporting him. Germany was

Every One Sings.
AS has been said before the Samoans
are always singing. They burst into
song on all and every occasion. The
canoe melodies are as old as the life of
the people. Women invariably sing
about their work, and the men also
while engaged in their various duties.
At the cricket games there is always a
chorus of singers. Accompanying the
numerous professions are always bands
of singers. Almost all the knowledge
of the past is preserved in chants and
songs. But their music is entirely yo-

A Veteran Apple Grower.

Judge William J. Patton, a veteran
of the Union army and one who saw
hard service, is one of the eminent fruit
growers of Arkansas. He conducts a
fruit farm of $50 acres near Springdale,
Ark, and ships annually $4,000 barrels
of apples to the st. Louis market He
is the inventor of many economic in
ventions in his business, one of which
is new method of fruit drying in
vacuum chamber. This does in two
hours what it has hitherto required two
days to do. He has also invented a
barrel head. which it is claimed will
save half the cost of shipping. He Is

cal, they have practically no musical in
strumentS. They have form of flute
made from the bamboo which is pierced
by three holes and blown at the nos
trils rather than the lips, but it's sound
is faint and feeble note, incapable of
producing the simplest tune. The Sa-
means are not whist1ers and do not
seem to know how to place the lips for
this accomplishment. They have drums
of varying sizes all made from a hol-
lowed out log. in their superb pilysi
cal development and perfect lungs they
have the making of magnificent voices,
but they do not know how to use them
and generally sing in an exaggerated
falsetto which is not pleasing to West
ern ears and soon wears out the vocal
chords.
Samoans are attracted by bright COL
ors just as they are by crude odors,
which they manifest by wearing the
scarlet hibiscus blossom in the hair of
behind one ear, in stringing the rich,
red nuts of the pandanus fruit for neck
laces, in using bright colored leaves for
frontlets, and in edging some of their
fine mats with red feathers. But the
pictorial is entirely absent in them.
They never attempt to reproduce any
of the many familiar objects around
them. They seem to have little idea
of drawing. They do not make even
the rudest pottery, tho there Is plenty
of clay in Samoa. The only weaving
done is by hand, and MANY of their fine
mats take years to complete. The wild
est scope for color and decoration is
afforded by the tapa or native cloth,
which is made from the bast of the tu-
tuga tree, which is soaked, then beaten
out into thin sheets which form the raw
material from which the cloth is made.

A propo.Ition from the Democrats.

While the Republican Senators and
Representatives were sitting supinely
over the latest fire the President had
built under them, opining that they did
not care whether they passed some of
those measures or not, altho pre-
sentative John Sharp Williams, the
minority leader, who once in a while
manages to see thru a ladder, jumped
in with the announcement that If the
President would give him 20 or 25
Republican votes in the House he
would put them with the Democratic
votes and pass a number of the bills
that the President wants. He would
pass g. limited Anti-Injunction bill,
which the labor people want, an En-
ployers' Liability bill, and so on, but
would not go into some of the Sher-
man Antitrust amendments which the
President is believed to want more
than anything else.
The Peerless One, William Jennings
Bryan, on tour of the East to in
spect his presidential nomination
fences, dropped off in Washington at
about the same time and stamped his
o. K. on Mr.. Williams program, at
which there was more applause in the
top galleries. OF course the Demo-
Gratis must not be slow in their i'm
poverished condition about gathering
IN Few items OF politlcal advantage,
even if it is to degree an endorse
ment of a Republican President.
Hence, the hilarity has been coming
in big chunks and probably there will
be a lot more of it before the curtain
is rung down upon Congress. For a
time tickle Washington is forgetting
that there is a Senate. If the House
screws up courage enough to balk at
the Presidents program, there is no
question about what the Senate will
do. There never has been a time
since Theodore Roosevelt became
President that the gray old wolves of
the Senate would not rush out into the
moonlight and try to chew the jugular
of any advanced legislative idea which
had emerged from the White House.

Therefore, the fear of the Republican

Morgan is known to favor it, in fact

Practically all the Democrats of the

The administration of Tutuila by

and the people are more peaceful and
happy than they ever have been since
they became known to the civilized
world. The chief export from the island
is copra, of which between 500 and 600
tons a year are sent abroad. About 125
vessels enter the harbor each year, a
number of them being American.
The German part of the group has a
population of 32,612, of whom 347 are

quently rendered useless by fog and
thick weather. This has induced the
New York Lighthouse Department to
install series of buoys along the Am
brose Channel, fitted with gas lamps,
which are provided with sufficient gas
to keep them burning day and night
for month. They need no attention
unless injured By collision, and are SO
low down that they shed their light
upon the channel, and can thus be seen
at times when higher lamps would not.
Mr.. Dyon proposes to Put line Of cleo
trio lamps under the water and attach
to a cable laid along the bottom. The
lamps are supplied with a current from

askance of the project on account of
the difficulty of preserving the insula-
ton of the connections between the
cables and the lamps. This seems a
serious matter, and to their minds a
fatal objection

sulfur, which has been covered in re-
mote ages by the silt carried down by
the waters from the mountains The
existence of this has been known for
years, and various efforts made to
reach the deposit This was at last
accomplished by driving down wells
precisely as Is done in prospecting for
petroleum. In each well there are four
lines of pipe, one inside the other. The
outside pipe Is 10 inches in diameter,
and the other three respectively six,
three and one-inch bore. The spaces
between the pipes carry hot water and
compressed air down to the strata and
conduct the sulfur to the surface The
hot water flows down between the 10
and six-inch pipes and passes out into
the limestone. from which it melts the
sulfur. This runs down to the holes at
the bottom of the pipe. and hot COM
pressed air is forced down into the
one-inch pipe to drive the melted sui
fur to the surface.
Naturally. this sulfur is extremely
pure, and analysis shows that 1t con-
tains more than SO per cent pure sui
fur. When the sulfur reaches the sur
face 1t is received in large rectangular
yats of rough planking, and as the
surfur cools and solidifies the planking
IT taken away and leaves the sulfur in
large blocks. This method of handling
is economical to the last degree, and
much surpasses the crude methods In
use in Italy. Laborers readily break
the mass into blocks suitable for load
Ing on the cars. and It is contemp plated
in the use Of further economy in the
use of steam shovels. The freight cars
carry the sulfur directly to the ships
where 1t is handled by machinery at
minimum of expense. Six hours is
said TO be the average time required
to load large vessel from the cars.
and it is calculated that the Standard
OIL Company, which controls the de-
posits, can deliver sulfur at any point
on the seaboard as low as two cents a
pound, which makes the competition
with Italy hopeless. The recent agree
ment with the Kingdom of Italy divides
up the world. giving more than half of
1t to the product of the Louisiana
mines.
