Development of Native Products.

bO uuu6Ildk6 I16 CulllNdGlOll OI the rich and remarkably fertile alluvial soils of their river deltas and the great literal along the coast have turned their attention to the cul- tivation of such products only as are familiar to them in the United States, such as tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, etc., the point of ad- vantage being solely in the fact that the Sonora and Sinaloa prod ucts get into the market a few weeks in advance of the California and Florida crops of the same kinds, commanding for a short time gilt edged prices, but meeting later active competition and re- ceiving lower prices on account of the great supplies poured into market from the two states of the American Union named in the foregoing lines. It is in cultivation of native products that owing to climatic conductions cannot be cul- tivated successfully in the United States, but which will meet large demand when known, that pur- chasers of the lands mentioned will find their greatest profits and surest returns. There are several such products which may be named, chief among which are the papayo and the G9uacate
 Both of the fruits named grow upon trees, and orchards planted with them will yield, acre for acre, far greater returns than any of the most prolific orange lands in Calif- ornia or Florida. Unlike the or ange the Sinaloa product will never meet at the frontier a high protective duty; for they connot be raised within the United States, and there will never be American cultivators of these fruits clamor- ing at the doors of Congress for protection against the Mexican product, as was the case with the orange, and will be with the tomato when California and Florida grow CTS realize the great possibilities of tomatoes from the Yaqui delta and Sinaloa. Both of the fruits named have been mentioned in THE OASIS heretofore; and there are others that may be instanced in which there are great commercial possibil- ities; but the two named are suffi- cient for the purposes of this article.
 The aguacate is a deciduous tree and may be classed with the peach, plum and apricot varieties of such fruits. The fruit has large stone or pit and the flesh surrounding is eaten in a natural state or sliced and served as a salad dressed in the usual way with oil and vinegar. The Hawaiian variety has found its way to the United States and is meeting with great favor; but there is no comparison between that and the Mexican production in either size, flavor or quality. At present it is raised in desultory way in Mexico, and the local demand is growing more rapidly than the supply. But year or two since they could be bought for fifty or sixty cents, Mexican money, per dozen. Now they cost $50 tc $2.00, Mexican per dozen. Event. ually the enterpriSing American will grasp the idea that raising ag,ta- cates for the American market has great possibilities as money mak, ing enterprise in Sinaloa, and there

into full bearing at the end of four years. An aguacate grove would prove great and lasting source of revenue.
 The papago or musk melon tree is of the palm family and grows in Sinaloa in great profusion. In general appearance, size, shape and flavor the fruit is very similar to the musk melon. The tree grows to a height of from twenty to thirty feet, while the fruit grows in great clusters close to the bole of the tree pendant from the junction of the branches herewith. THE OASIS editor has a photograph, given him by MT. w. s. Hunt of Culiacan, of papdyo in bearing, and there may be counted no less than twenty-five of the melon like fruits growing upon the tree. As doubtless there were as many more upon the opposite side away from the camera, fifty would not be an extravagant estimate as the yield of that tree. With 150 such trees yielding but half the number of melons the product of an acre would be 3750 of the luscious fruits, which exceeds by far any thing that can be done by the or dinary musk melon or cantel)upe vine. When once grown and in bearing the papayo needs but little tending, 1t is perennial and yields its large crop continuously through many years, while the canteloupe and musk melon vines, being annuals have to be planted anew each year, after laborious preparation of the ground, and with careful tending through the season.
 The flesh of the papayo is said to contain large per centage of pure pepsin, and the writer is informed that a New Jersey concern has in operation in the state of Vera Cruz factory that is engaged in the manufacture of pepsin for market, which has yielded its owners a handsome fortune. Formerly pep sin was extracted from the stomachs of sheep and pigs, and naturally it was impossible to exclude all the animal impurities. Discovery of pepsin in the flesh of the papayo and adoption of method for its extraction have given a chemically pure product which has displaced from the naateriG medicd the pepsin that came from animal sources. But 1t will be for the general market as an edible fruit that cul- tivation of the papayo will be pro- ftable on the fertile lands of Sin alba. It will be cultivated for the American market into which it will make its way rapidly when once introduced; and the great railway line that has traversed the state since the beginning of the year 1908 will open to it that col ossal and valuable market. A papayo grove in Sinaloa will prove a very handsome and profitable investment.

Sandman expressed IT when asked how the
show had been treating his firm. which
opened the show by selling a blk six
cylinder stevens-Duryea model Y, with l4s
inch wheel base to Keith Neville of North
Platte. The sales did not stop<there, but
kept up during the show. cadillacs were
sold to w. A. Paxton, jr, r. II. Sprague
and others and Stanley steamers and Bah
cock e~lectrics also were disposed OF.
Hamilton Car Prominent.
Fred Hamilton's big six Stevens-Duryea
which was changed by r. II. Kimball from
a seven-passenger touring car into a two
passenger racing car also had a place in
the Kimball booth and was the center OF
attraction, in fact, 1t was one of the most
admlred cars at the show. The new lines
and the fifty-gallon gasoline tank behind
give 1t a most racy appearance and 1t will
attract attention wherever It goes.
Birch Kuhn had a new line OF auto
wagons and trucks, which struck the com
merciaI eye. HIS Distributors oldman

afford It. Cars are designed especially for
their benefit and the Omaha dealers had
these cars on exhibition.
Polished Chassis Attractive.
The polished chassis was the most attrae-
tive thing at the show. for by means Of n
the prospective buyer is enabled to see
every part OF the machine. The velie had
a novel idea, which consisted Of not only
having some OF the parts in glass cases.
but also in having the chassis placed over
a looking glass. so that the under side Of
the cars could be viewed without kneeling
in the dust. Others conceived the idea OF
placing the cars on raised platforms that a
better view could thus be had OF all parts
OF the car and that it's lines might be
shown off TO better advantage.
Gasoline was not allowed In the building.
so all who wished to show machinery in
operation we're forced to connect with pony
batteries or with a dynamo. The cars were
ell hauled into the show. as no car was
allowed to run In on its own power. This
handicaps many OF the dealers in gasoline
cars, because II would be much more salts
factory to be able to demonstrate the cars
by their regular power.
Few changes in styles w~ere,noticed at the
show, although OF course many changes
were worked out since last year, looking 70
greater strength and more comfort for the
owners. While the rich still insisted on
having the big luxurious cars, the greatest
seller was the moderate priced cars which
nearly all the dealers handle. These mod
crate priced cars can be used for all sorts
Of work and are not such an expense on
tires because Of the lighter weight. The
open touring car and the auto with the
baby tonneau were the most liked, although
closed cars were shown and many sold.
Senator J. IT. Mulard bought one OF the
most magnificent cars at the show. 1t is
a large Peerless with a huge Limousine top,
sold by Guy L. Smith.
Attention to valve operating machinery
has tended to make the engines much more
quiet than in former years. 1t has been
given much greater flexibility by improve
ments in the carburetor and valve setting.
The magnetic has been placed on nearly
every car and is recognized as the most
reliable source of ignition. The size of the
radiators has been increased and strength
ened and have greater cooling efficiency.

occupied one OF the most conspicuous
spaces at the show, where he showed Stod-

tries. The Mathewson company also ex-
hibited a chassis in Mr.. Deright's booth.
II am afraid we sold more cars than we
will be able TO deliver said Mr.. Deright.

Resides the cars which have been sold,

and decorated as much as the rules of
