Gentlemen, be Careful

If congress should refuse Ari- zona admission upon some of the aimsy things offered in this con- stitutional convention the people of the territory would never for give the members of this con vention. This convention was elected upon one platform, and one only, and that was the ini- tiative and referendum. While some county platforms contained other matters, yet the over- whelming interest of our people was all embodied in the proposi- tion that,the people could legis late for themselves; and if this convention should, as before stated, insert some fool, ill-ad- vised thing into this constitution that would cause it's rejection, the delegates will never live long enough to outlive the public wrath that will follow.-Arizona Democrat.

Shark Sold as Salmon

Health authorities in the east, and more particularly in New York, are on the watch lest sharks flesh, "doped" with ami line dyes and sold as smoked salmon, be imported from the Pacific coast, where it has been discovered in city markets.
 The manufacture of the 'salm. on' has been traced to Seattle. How long the practice of doctor. ing up cheap whitetish with the brown coloring stuff and how long the market has been sup. plled with this delicacy is prob. lem which San Francisco is now grappling.
 The unearthing of the fraud was not more startling than the manner of discovery was curious How would you like to be the chemist of the department ot health, charged with the duty ot seeing that your fellow citizens had pure food to eat. and find yourself munching sharks flesh when you thought you were eat ing the best of salmon?
 That is what happened to As sistant City Chemist Fred West Frisco.
 West was eating his monday luncheon in the upstairs labora tory of the department. Biting into a tasty-looking salmon sand. wich, prepared by his wife at home, the chemist met disap- pointment. West began to in vestigate. The salmon" turned out to be @ cheap whitefsh col ored. He secured some more at home and fresh supply from a local market, where the first had been purchaseds
 Ana lysis showed that brown aniline dyes had been used to give the flesh u spurious color, the product smoked and then shipped from the north as salmon.

Imperial Valley Aid Plans

As soon as the state depart ment has approved and permis' sion has been obtained from the Mexican government for carry- ing out the project, plans just completed for solving the prob lem of the lower Colorado river will be put into effect; according to an announcement by Assist ant Attorney General Lawler.
 The scheme contemplates a parallel extension of the restrain ing levee for a distance of twenty five miles, which, it is believed, will bring the river into it's old channel. The stream will then be carried to a point where the natural slope to the gulf will serve in controlling it. Over flows will be prevented by the levee and at the same time the stream will be kept at a level with the intake of the Imperial canal system.
 "We believe our plans will permanently end the menace that now coufronts the Imperial val- ley,' said Lawler.

HiIT's Honesty

There is in the treasury of the United States something over S4,000 which, according to the books, belongs to David B. Hill, sometime senator from New York, who died the other day. MT. Hill never claimed the money-in fact he refused ii when it was rendered him.
 And thereby hangs tale illus trating how man may be both honest and honorable in politics without making a noise ahout if all the time.
 MT. Hill was governor of New York when elected to the senate. The seat was vacant; there was no reason why he should not qualify immediately, and the dis -bursing officer of the senate, ac- cofding to custom and quite legally, began crediting MT. Hill with his salary as senator.
 There happened, however, to be a rather peculiar political sit nation in New York just then, and Mir. Hill deemed it inexpedi- Ient, for his party's welfare and other reasons, for him to cease being governor and actually be- ginning to be senator right away. In fact, it was the better part of a year before Mr. Hill resigned the governorship and took the oath us senator.
 Soon afterWard the senate off cial in charge of the matter in- formed Mir. Hill that there was over $4OOO to his credit any time he might have occasion to use it. Probably the senate clerk who did tbls expected to be regarded as the bearer of pleasant news. But he wasn't.
 Mr. Hill insisted that the  money was not his, that he had not earned it and wouldn't take it. And he didn't take it. The money is still there, more than thirteen years after MT. Hills service in the senate ended Chicago Inter Ocean.

Arizona Oranges

Orange picking will commence in Salt river valley about Nov. 10 this year, and the fruit will be in the eastern markets Tn ample time for the Thanksgiving trade. While the crop will not be as large as usual, the oranges give promise Of being unusually fine in quality.
 More fruit will be shipped to New York than to any other single place. Commission houses in Minneapolis, Denver, Chicago and several other big cities are anxious to secure consignments of Arizona oranges, but none can be supplied with as much of the early product as they desire. There is such a wide market for the early Arizona oranges that the growers can pick and choose among those who would buy from them.
 Indications are that the Arizo- na fruit will be in the market well ahead of California oranges The growers are praying for a few cooler nights than the valley has been having. Odd as it may sound to the uninitiated, cooler nights will tend to ripen the fruit faster, since the growth of the oranges will be checked and green wood about the trees will be killed.
 The growers realize that early fruit is what is wanted and are bending every energy to supply ing the demand, for if they can sell their oranges early their profits will be much larger.

 Fair Visitors Accommodated

So that visitors to the Terri torial Fair may be accommodate ed, the Phoenix Board of Trade has undertaken the listing of rooms and a general request for places that will be open during Fair week has been issued. AL ready many replies have been received and the listing of rooms is now proceeding rapidly. Many householders are glad of this opportunity to extend courtesies and have decided to open their homes. Efforts are being made to please everyone that visits Phoenix during this interesting time and every citizen of the Capital city is being called upon to welcome the strangers.
 The board of supervisors have been asked to appoint four spe- cial policemen for the sole pur- pose of meeting all trains and directing the newly arrived to the Board of Trade, where lists of accommodations will be on file. The new Board of Trade building will be headquarters during Fair week. Visitors can make appointments to meet there at the several tables which will be marked by the different coun- ties of Arizona. Telephones and messenger servicef will be in- stalled for the accommodation of the visitors.

Desert Date Orchards

Date growing in the desert re gions of Southern California has passed beyond the purely exper mental stage and become dem- onstrated success.
 Government bulletin No. 92, issued in 1906 by the United States department of agriculture, says:
 "The study of the life history of the date palm has shown that in the Salton basin the long, hot summers, the very dry atmos- phere and almost complete ab |sence of rain during the flower ing and ripenlng season of the date palm, render the climate particularly adapted to the cul- ture of the choice late ripening sorts, such as the famous Deglet Moor. At the same time the presence of an abundant supply of water of excellent quality and the extreme fertility of the soil render the conditions unusually propitious for the establishment of this profitable fruit culture" :"
 Salton basin is not only the most promising region in the United States for the culture of the best sorts of dates, says F. w. Stevens of Indio, but it is actually better adapted than those parts of the Sahar desert where the best export dates are produced.
 It is possible to start seed ling date orchard at a very little expense, and with reasonable hope of commercial success, and with a good chance of securing fine varieties, which can be got ten in no other way.
 For each 250 date seedlings set out in proper form in a suit able location the department of agriculture will give, until furth- CT notice, one or two offshoots from imported date palms. Under these terms, therefore, it is pos sible for the grower to establish fair sized orchard of date palms at a very little expense.
 The department of agriculture has on hand some thousands of the choicest varieties in the world, now available for distri button. Imperial Press.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness and that is by constitutional rem edieS. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucuOus lin ing of the Estachian Tube, When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound CT imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the infllnation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucuouS surfaces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of Deafness caused by ca tarrh that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Mrs. HaTriman'S Gift

Newburg, N. Y, Oct. 29.-In accordance with her late hus- bands plan, Mrs. Mary Harri- man presented to the state of New York 10, 900 acres, part of Arden estate, to become part of the Interstate Palisade Park. At the same time she made a gift of s1, ,O0O, GOO for the devel- opment of the park.
 There was a further transfer to the park commission of 700 acres, which had been intended for new state prison on Bear mountain, but which the last legislature ceded to the park. The presentation ceremonies, at. tended by 90 people, occurred at Bear mountain.

Triumph Of the Potato

After striving to do without
 the American potato ever since 1 it was excluded in 1875, the
 French republic has decided that
 the potato may comein. A com
 mission of learned men appoint ed by the French government had previously agreed, and so reported, that whatever may have been the matter with the American potato back in 1875, there is not a thing the matter with it now. The vindication is sufficient to allow bygones to be bygones. If our French broth CTS and sisters have eaten no
 American potatoes since 1895 the loss is theirs, not ours. Statist- ics are not at hand to enable us to go back as far as 1875, butlsiX years later the entire crop or potatoes in the United States amounted to only 169, 1909, 13S bushels, whereas the crop of 1908 amounted to 278, 985, 600 bushels. Even with this wonderful in- crease in production, there were scarcely potatoes to meet the de- mands of home consumption. N
 While the French have been excluding the American potato it's value has increased as amaz- ingly as it's volume. Back in 1886 the value of the entire crop was only $70, 574,080. Lastyear the crop was worth $197, ,039, Coo.

Constitutional
 Convention

The constitutional convention has entered upon the fourth week of it's session. The intro- duction of propositions has ceas- ed and the reports of proposed sections of the constitution are coming forth from the commit tees and being laid before the convention for debate and action.
 Thursday-Kingan introduced a proposition for the apportion- ment of the membership of the state legislature. Jones intro- duced a proposition for state railroad commission of three members to be elected by the people. Short introduced a measure providing certain cleo, ton laws.
 Friday-The chief feature of this day was a hearing before a special committee of the advo. cates of a submission of state wide prohibition to a vote. A proposal to hold night sessions during the remainder of the So day allotment of time was voted down.
 Saturday-Tbe legislative com mittee made a report including a direct legislation plank. It cov- cred the ordinary provisions of initiative and referendum meas ures, but left the question of percentage of voters in initiat- ing measure to the convention, leaving the places for figures blank. The committee paid lit tie attention to propositions in troduced by members and framed a largely original bill. It pro vides for home rule in counties, but refused the saloon interests the segregation of incorporated cities and towns.
 A petition emanating from Bisbee was presented demanding the incorporation of provision requiring that laborers in mines should be required to speak the English language.
 Monday - The committee on elections and suffrage reported a measure including the choos ing of United States senators by the direct primary, which pro duced spirited debate. Kingan of Pima voiced the view that such was contrary to the consti- tuition of the United States. The section of that document provid- ing for the election of senators contains this provision: ito be chosen by the legislatures of the several states" Ellinwood, Gun nif, Ingraham and Winsor de- fended the measure.

Singing .he Rough Rid z.

MT. Bliss Carman, who is known in Boston and the envirOns thereof as poet, has brought out book of poems under the title 'rhe Rough Rider " l asmuch as here is to be reunion of the Rough Riders at New York on the Sth ot IeXt month, the appearance of the book is timely. Not many members of the colOnels famous regiment are literary cGssps, but most of them can read more or less and in any event each one will be proud tu buy and pear away copy of the new book When the colonel was president he was wont to say that all the Rough Riders were Gin office or in jail." Time and the whirligig of politics have brought release to most of the otfireholders, and pre- sumably most of those that were sub. iecttd to involuntary durance have "served their time" and once more are free men. At any rate it is expected that when the colonel steps from the gangplank of the homecoming ship on the 18th of June and faces some five millions of his enthusiastic countrymen, at least 500 Rough Riders will step for ward and form his escort through the streets Ii each of them buys a copy of Mir. Carman's 's volume it will enjoy de. served boom-a book of poems does well to achieve q circulation of 800 We have no doubt that many other citizens will purchase the work, for it has real merit.
 The song of praise which gives the book it's title has swing which brings sal. T | AL. l.. ,c drums, the rattle Of Krags and the charge of embattled men as they glori- ously follow the colonel up the hill, while we read in specific language the sort of being he is:
 Where lift the peaks of plrple,
 Where dip the dusty trails,
 Where gleaming teeming cities
 Lie linked by sh'ning rais,
 Ky shadow haunted campfire,
 B-neith the great white dome,
 In saddle and in council
 lntrepi and at home.
 Who is the hardy figure
 of viTile fighting strain,
 With vAlOr and convict on
 In heart aud nand, and brain2
 Sprung from our old ideals
 To serve our later needs,
 He is the modern ROundhesd,
 The man who rides aud reads.
 No p1mp of braid and feathers,
 No tiuSh of burniShed gear,
 He wears the plainsman's outfit
 Sufficient and severe,
 With no imperial chevron
 Upon his khaki sleeve,
 He thinks by no made doctrine,
 He speaks by no mans leave.

We have received a communication
from Clinton which we are compelled to
leave out, for the reason that the writer
has failed to send his or her name. A
newspaper may once in a while publish
a communication even though the same
is not accompanied with the writer's
name, but this is the exception to
we'll established rule, and cannot be re-
peated. We must have the true name as
guarantee of good faith, and as a safe
guard against imposition. A publisher
will not divulge the name OF a cores
pondent so long as the writer acts in
good faith. II the publisher, however,
finds that correspondent is irving to
deceive him by sending items that are
not true. whether in joking spirit, or
from other improper motives, the pledge
of secrecy is removed, and it becomes
no breach Of newspaper ethics to give
information to any party who may feel
aggrieved by such conduct on the part of
a correspondent.
