BURBANK OUTDONE.
Oregon RaHcser Grows Alfalfa Straw-
 berries by Grating.

Medford, Ore, May 22.-By grafting alfalfa roots on the roots of his strawberry vines, Col. Frank Touvelle, a rancher living near here, declares he has produced deep-rooting vine which brings forth three crops of berries a season.
 Col. 'Touvelle says he has long been a student of the methods of Luther Burbank, the California wizard. He got the idea of pro- ducing 6 deep-rooted berry plant from observing that alfalfa, which roots deeply, produces three to five crops a year with out irrigation. 1t occurred t0 him, he says, that sbrawoerries would do the same if the vines went down far enough to get moisture from the soil through out the season.
 Experimenting to that end through considerable period Of time, Col. Touvelle declares he has now succeeded and his alfa- berries, as he calls them. are fiourrshing. Some of the berry growers here scoff at his claims. which, however. he makes seri~ ut-iv

GOVERNOR SLOAN
 ON STATEHOOD.

At reception given by the Tucson people to Governor Sloan the governor predicted that an enabling act admitting Arizona to statehood would be passed by congress and signed by Presi- dent Taft by next February.
 Tine governor believed that at the regular election in 1910 the people of Arizona would vote for state officers instead of territori- al officials.
 In this opinion the wish was not father to the thought, but was based upon information held by the governor of the attitude of leading rIembe of congress toward the statehood bill.

San DiegO-Yana By.
 San Diego, May -Estab- lished III two big camps, one on the Hartupee tract at the foot of Twelfth street and the other at Chula Vista, the big grading outfit of Robert Sherer 6 Co.,,
 which arrived in the city from Los Angeles yesterday morning, is now actively engaged in mak- ing the dirt fly on the first stretch of the San Diego & Yu-
 ma railroad between here and the Mexican boundary line.
 The caravan arriving yester- day morning was made up of about 150 horses and mules, A dirt wagons, 40 huge steel scra- pers, several water wagons and other wagons containing cook ing implements and camp sup plies Of all sorts. The proces- sion, which was more than q mile long, reached the camp site at the foot of Twelfth street 8 o'clock.
 After a short stop there, the outfit was divided and the Chula Vista gang again took the road for the camp at that place. Two camps will be maintained, the gang in the city working south and the Chula Vista gang will operate both north and south from It's headquarters.
 Will Use Steam Shovel.
 The big steam shovel Whic ar rived several days ago has been sent to National City and will be used by the Chula Vista gang. The contractors have requested the San Diego Southern Railway Company to build spur from National City out to the right of way of way of the new road, so that the big shovel can be taken from there to the place where the first grading will be done. It is expected that this work will be done without delay, and the steam shovel will be on the job early next week.
 The Chula Vista gang, on the start, will be put at work mak- ing the big fill across the Sweet water valley. There is a long fill at this point, where big also, is to be built.
 Superintendent James, of the | contracting firm, has been in San Diego for several days complet- ing all arrangements for the be- ginning of work. When seen yesterday morning he said:
 Work Already Begun.
 "We practically began work this morning, as we announced last week when the contract was awarded to US that we would. ! The actual work, of course, will not begin until tomorrow, al though the work that is being lone today is just as important. Two gaugs of men will be put to work immediately. The camp of one of these gangs will be To- ;ated at Chula Vista, while the other will be in San Diego for he present. The San Diego gang will work southward, while hat at Chula Vista will work in both directions. The steam shovel which arrived here the 'arly part of the week will be }laced with the Chula Vista gang.
 "We are going to make every possible effort to hurry the work Q completion, but of course | yannot say at this time how long t is going to take ns to finish the contract. However, the work gill be completed lnslds of six
