YUr1A GIRL. DECEIVED

When Miss Jennie Mckenzie
came to Los Angeles from Yuma,
Ariz.. to become the bride of w.
G.. Weant, a horse dealer at 1l0l
San Pedro street, she believed
he had been divorced. While
purchasing her trousseau she
encountered young woman in
one of the stores, and suddenly
it flashed across her memory
/, that the features of the other
woman were those of Weant's
wife, whose photograph she had
seen.
Miss Mckenzie spoke to the
young woman, and q few mo
ments later ascertained that
Weant was not divorced, but had
deserted his wife.
eStefday the women confront
ed Weant and after the denoue-
ment Miss Mckenzie demanded
to- know what Weant intended
doing toward reimbursing her
for her trip and trousseau. She
told Deputy District Attorney
Keetch, to whom she related her
troubles, that Weant struck her
in the face, knocking her down.
A complaint against Weant was
issued.
After they had obtained q
warrant in Police Judge Roses
court, the women linked arms
and fastened to Mrs. Weant's
home, 622 Ceres avenue, where
Miss Mckenzie will have home
as long az she remains in Los
Angeles. Examiner.

The YUnA CELEBRATION.

We are with the people of
Yuma in spirit in their celebra-
ton of the completion of Laguna
dam. Last summer we had d
similar, though somewhat small
er, celebration on the completion
OF the dam at Granite Reef, but
We withheld part of our enthu-
siasm against the finishing of
the gigantic project at Roose-
xelt, a gear or two hence.
The Laguna dam is a great
thing for Yuma, which for three
gears has thriyen in anticipation
of the event whose end vas cele-
brated yesterday.
The Yuma of today is not the
Yuma Of the old timers, nor is
il the Yum. of the next decade.
The delta of the Nile has for
ages been regarded as the most
fertile land in all the world. But
formed in the same manner as
the valley of the Colorado, about
and below Yuma, 1t is no richer,
and now that water is to be ap-
piled to that marvellous country,
whose fertility has long since
been proved on small scale, we
believe q great agricultural en-
pire has now been established.
The seat of that imperial do
main is Yuma, which must in a
few years rank with the best
towns in the Southwest.-Phoe-
nix Republican.

HOW FIGS ARE r1ARKETED
Trees Grow Wild and Fruit Is Dried
In the Sun.

The fig tree grows almost wild
and requires little cultivation,
says the Premier Enquirer. AL
though certain varieties are
grown in various parts of the
world. those of Asiatic Turkey,
commonly called Smyrna figs,
for the reason that they are
packed and shipped from Smyr-
ma, and are of the best. The
growing district is IN the prov
ince of Adm, the plantations
extending from Ayassoluk to
Ortachi, a valley over 100 miles
long, spreading far on bothsides
of the line of the Ottoman rail-
way, which runs through it, af
fording direct transportation
from the interior.
The figs ripen by the begin
ming of August. They are not
picked, but when they reach a
certain maturity they begin to
dry and consequently they drop
on the ground. In the morning
every body on the plantations
goes around with buckets gath.
ering the fruit, which they carry
to a certain place where the
| ground is covered with dried
leaves and straw and on which
they spread the fruit, exposing
it to the sun, allowing it to re-
main there for two Or three days.
Fig packing is one of the prin
cipal industries of Smyrna.
Thousands of people find en-
ploYment during the end of Au-
gust and the months of Septem-
Der, October and part of Noyen-
Der, more than $780, 900 being
paid in wages during that time.
The demand for figs has in
creased considerably during the
last two years. Some years ago
a crop of $4,000 to $4,000 camel
loads was considered large, and
difficulty was found in disposing
of the goods. With the increas-
ed demand new plantations have
been started and the crops of
the last two seasons have been
enormous, in 1907 reaching $780,
900 loads. Notwithstanding this,
the goods find ready market
and, with the exception of two
short crops, at higher prices
than were ever realized before.

PRESIDENT TAFT AND THE
TARIFF.

President Taft has made il
clear to the leaders of congress
shat he will engage in no contro-
yersies over specific duties in
the tariff bill, though be adheres
70 his position that he will deem
IL to be his duty to veto the
Payne bill if the Senate deprives
it of its revisionary features.
The President has, also, let , it
become known that If the tariff
bill promise of inadequate reve-
nue. congress may hear from
him witbR forceful recommend
alton olgome form of income
tax. He has already gone to
the length of having the attor-
ney general prepare bill pro
yiding a tax:of- two per cent on
the dividends OF certain corpo-
rstions. Evidently Mr.. Taft
takes seriously his pledge and
that of the republican platform
TO revise the schedules in the
interest of the whole people, and
will see TO it that there is an
equitable readjustment in &C
eordancc with changed condi-
lions.

GOVERNMENT STUDIES HETHODS
OF SEASONING EUCALYPTUS
POLES

The government has under
taken q study to determine the
proper method Of seasoning Gu
calyptus poles, particularly those
cut from trees which, owing to 4
large number of knots, will moi
make clear lumber. Such poles
have shown tendencyto check
and warp after being cut, prob
ably due to improper methods OF
seasoning, which has been a
great obstacle to their more ex
tensive utilization.
Experiments will be carried
on by the United States Forest
Service to determine the method
Of seasoning which will prevent
this checking and warping. One
series will be conducted on the
Sutro estate, which is in the fog
belt, and another on the Pacific
Land Investment Company's
holdings at Newark, which is
out of the fog belt.
Forty eight growing trees, 13
inches in diameter and having a
clear length of 81 feet, will be
selected and marked by an officer
of the forest service. These two
groups will be handled in the
same way, twelve trees of each
group are to be girdled and al
lowed to die and season stand
ing, with the bark on, and the
other twelve will be felled and
laid on Skids in the open and sea
suned in this manner. Six OF
the twelve felied trees of each
group will be peeled and the
other six will be left with the
bark on.
The skids will be so construct
ed that the poles will be at least
one foot from the ground to al.
low a free circulation of air. The
poles will be left on the skids
for from six to eight months and
observations taken. as to check
ing, warping, shrinksge, AMI
loss of weight. The same obser-
vations will be obtained from the
standing poles, with the excep-
tion of the weight.
When a sufficient period of
seasoning has elapsed, determin-
ed by the weight of the skidded
poles, the standing poles will be
cut and their weights found. The
condition of these poles will then
be compared with the condition
of the skidded poles and proper
method of seasoning outlined
which will be available to all in
'terested in the use of eucalyptus

YUrlA FULL OF SOLDIERS,

The after celebration quietness
of last Friday morning was very
pleasantly disturbed by lot of
Uncle Sans boys dropping in
on US unannounced. The first
intimation of their coming was
when, about ten O'Clock, their
fine band came marching down
Madison avenue, playing pop
ular air. Immediately following
we're hordes of soldier boys in
their neat kahki uniforms, most
Of them appearing clean and
natty as though for dress parade.
The boys were soon scattered
in groups and pairs about the
city and for the several hours of
their stay seemed to enjoy life
hugely. This was the first. of
three train loads comprising one
of the crack regiments of the
army, the Twelfth cavalry; from
Fort Ogelthorpe, near Chatta-
nooga, Tennessee. There were
600 men and officers, under COM
mand of Major Doud, and we're
