Shortly before the visit of TIE OASIS man to the Sinaloa metro polls in the latter part of March, gathering the data and information for the series of descriptive articles of which this is one, the city was visited by Mir. Edward Hartman the railway magnate whose colos- sal operations are opening to the worlds traffic one of it's fairest re- gions, along the West Coast of Mexico, which has been very back ward heretofore on account of its comparative isolation and inaces- sibility. During his short stay at the Sinaloa metropolis MT. Harri- man and his party were accorded the usual courtesies of the Ameri- can consulate by the popular and efficient consul MT. Louis Kaiser, and they were shown about the city, visiting the various points of interest, and the ladies of the party visited number of the leading stores, purchasing souvenirs of their visit and articles for their personal use. During their jaunt about the city with Mir. Kaiser Mir. Hartman commented freely upon the place and port and expressed an agree able surprise upon finding it in all points far superior to anything he had anticipated. The magnate predicted for Mazatlan a brilliant future, and expressed an intention of making it one of the most i'm portant points on the Southern Pacific system of railways and one of the principal cities in Mexico, ranking perhaps the third or fourth in importance, magnitude and population.
 Tradition asserts that Mazatlan was once the port of a great traffic across Mexico between the Oriental possessions of the King of Spain and the mother country, that great galleons crossed the Pacific be- tween Manila and Mazatlan, their cargoes were broken and trans ported by pack trains across the continent to Vera Cruz, and then transhipped over the Atlantic to Spain. The story is improbable for the reason that the discovery by Vasco da Cana of the Cape of Good Hope route to India and the Orient in 1497 preceded more than twenty years the conquest of Mex leo by Hernando Cortez, in 15lS, and doubtless trade between Spain and the Orient had become we'll established by the Cape route before there could have been possible a route across Mexico; and the ex- cesslve cost of the latter as against an all water route, as was the voy- age by the Cape, would have shut out of consideration such traffic. Yet direct route as described was possible owing to the greater dan ger from piracy on the longer one discovered by da Cana. Even 'ne direct route suffered frequently ana greatly from depredations by piracy, and pursuit of Spanish gal icons In the Mazatlan and Manila trade was one of the objects of the !amous voyage by that gallant dar- ing and doughty English sailor ana treebooter Sir Francis Drake, when he visited the Pacific in the

About twenty local sports, including

for Cape May in the steamer Israella
on Wednesday night where the Big

but owing TO the recent STORM and high

covering the meadows and making ii
impossible to locate the channel.
When within about fifteen minutes

best to anchor and wait awhile before
proceeding. They did so and it was
near five O'Clock II the morning before

Sailing Through a Volcano Crater In

In the Aegean sea a vessel may sail
into the top of a crater, and, though 1t
is hard to find anchorage there, yet q
mere sail through is appreciated great
ly by captains, because it cleanses the
bottom of the ships from marine
growth.
More than 1000 years ago the isle of
Santorin was split in half by an earth
quake, with the result that what was
once the crater of n volcano is now a
crescent shaped harbor. Two glisten.
ing white towns of Thera and st.
Nicholas are perched on the summit of
the steep cliffs, whose dark an1 dismal
hue is similar to that of the top of We

are large numbers of windmills, with
many sails, arranged in a perfect cir
Gle. These are evidently employed for
crushing the olives. which, along with
the terraced vines, are the staple prod

Between the main island on the east
and the smaller, Theresa. on the west
are the three small Kaumene islands
all of which have come into existence
since the original earthquake, while the
largest of the three was born from
the sea- less than 200 years ago, show

how tired you become of it, and the
| fragrance of bunch of lilies delicate
| ly seeming a room or church is decid-
eddy different from the overpowering
fragrance eXhaled by a field of bios
SONS thirty or forty acres in extent"
This industry is said to be much
more profitable than raising potatoes,
onions or fruits, as an acre of lilies
will bring three or four times the rev.
enue to be obtained from an acre of
onions, although a crop of vegetables
can be raised at any time throughout
the year in this land of perpetual
spring.
Certain rules prevail regarding the
growth that must be attained by a lily
bulb for the market, and it usually re-
quires three years to bring the bulbs
to the required size and perfection for
shipment The bulbs are collected dur
ing June and July and carefully
packed in dry sand to insure their safe
arrival in a condition to force into
flower when required.
The fields of blossoms attain their
perfection during the early part of
April, continuing to cover the land
with white blooms for six weeks or
longer. The wharf from which a
steamer starts for New York twice
week is the scene of great activity.
Cold storage accommodations are pro-
vided for the bulbs, which are care
fully packed in boxes with layers of
damp moss or ferns, in addition to
tissue paper which protects the bulbs
from cracks ior breaks on the white
surface. ALE the work must be got
through with almost Incredible swift
ness, as 1t is done the day before the
sails. in order 10 avoid keep
ing the flowers packed longer than
necessary. Sometimes beated packer
will arrive ashort time before the hour |
set for sailing and, being too late TO |
pack the blossoms, will stack them ND |
around the side of the cold storage
room and trust to luck for their safe
arrival Not infrequently the steamer
arrives at New York with, $4,000 !
worth of bulbs aboard

WN addition to the Easter lilies raised
from bulbs by the florists to meet
"A the demand for that popular bios
som during the Easter season,
many thousand blossoms have arrived
during the last week from Bermuda,
where the flower is said to attain its
most perfect growth. 1t is by its lilies
that this little island has made itself
famous, and, as extensive as the in
dustry Is, it is carried on in n most
primitive manner, nearly all the labor
being performed by. negroes and by
hand. Since 1878 the cultivation OF
the blossom has increased yearly.
The growth of the industry is large
ly attributed to the efforts of Mrs.
George Russell Hastings, niece of ex-
President Hayes, who planted some
bulbs and, finding that they took kind
ly to the thin, rich soil of the island,
encouraged the farmers to raise lilies
as well as vegetables.
The lily industry has two branches
one the raising of bulbs and the other
the raising of buds for shipment to
firms in various localities. The expert
ment stations of the United States are
endeavoring to ascertain If the lily in
dustry can be made successful and
profitable in those states where mild
weather prevails, and the florists and
growers are eagerly waiting results.
Should the results prove encouraging
a new American industry with great
possibilities would open up, and it has
been said that here would be another
opportunity for the indefatigable wo-
man of today to engage in an occupa-
ton both pleasing and profitable.
The lily fields of Bermuda form some
of the most attractive sights of that
pleasant spot; yet, strange to say,
many natives strongly object to the
fragrance of the blossoms.
"You can discern the fragrance of Il
lily field a mile Off" said a native the
other day. 81 don't know of any per-
fume l dislike as much as that of the
lily, and you will find that many other
persons born in Bermuda feel the
same way. You see, unless you live
there all the year round, with that
heavy, overpowering perfume perme-
ating the air, it is impossible to realize

An Easter Flower From Home.

The laundry is a narrow place
Where homely things are packed and
pent,
But in the midst yellow face
Smiles on the world and seems content.
Ching has some beauty in his soul,
Kept through his years of work and
care,
For on his dingy sill bowl
Brims up with lilies tall and fair.
A weary round, this life of his,
Spent in an alien land and cline.
Each day another Monday" is
And brings it's bout with soil and CRIME.
His hurrying iron must not cool.
He scarce may lift his almond eyes
To where, from that impromptu pool.
Like water sprites, his lilies rise
Those lilies, born of eastern soil.
Must beckon back his younger days.
The trimming cities play and toll,
The flower decked shrine, calm Bud
dha's gaze.
Shy, silent thing, you act part
With that smooth brow, but If there
be
One homesick corner in your heart
/ think your lilies hold the key.

New Idea For Easter.

This Is merely suggestion
In the Easter bonnet line
That might add to the attraction
OF the headgear rich and fine.
1t would double all the envy
And would emphasize the style
And add to all the triumph
OF the journey down the aisle
If when she fluttered softly
In the very foremost seat
And had listened to the whispered
"Oh!" and "Ah' and Amt it sweet p
Then the lady with the bonnet
Could by some means touch spring
Or, if that were too unhandy,
Slyly pull a hidden string
And thus cause to pop up gayly
From her bonnet a neat sign,
