FIRST CAPITAL OF
 ARIZONA TERRITORY
A. F. Banta Speaking From Personal Knowledge, Corrects Some Errone- ous Statements Concerning
 Historical Facts.

St. Johns. Ariz, Aug. 10, 1910.-(Spe- cial Correspondence of The Republi- can)-In your issue of August 6 under the caption Of First Capital of Ari- zona Territory" your correspondent either misquotes Bancroft or else Ban croft's history is wrong in its records.
 The whole party of emigrant states men started west in August; went into camp at Navajo Springs September 27."
 The above quotation is all wrong, no matter if it is from Bancrofts his tory. Here are the facts by one who was there at the time and speaks from personal knowledge and not from hear say.

With this membership. one third of the entire membership of the legislature, they went down to Tucson for the express purpose of bringing the capitol back to Prescott.

 The writer had about sworn off pay ing further attention to people who write statements for the press of Ari- zona history, and who have no personal knowledge of the events of which they write. I have not seen Bancroft's history of Arizona, but will say, and the military records will bear me out, if Bancroft or any other his torian, made the statements quoted by your correspondent, they are false and misleading. My statements in the foregoing article are facts, and capable of proof. A. F. BANTA.

Most people know that orris root Is

LEGGED few know that it is made from the
roots of a kind of iris.
Never have l seen the cultivation of
the iris and the preparation of orris
root to such perfection as this summer
in the Tuscan Apennines, where Val
lOmbrosa lifts its pine covered head,
says a writer in the Queen. On the
sunny side Of the mountains lies the
whole district of the Val d Arno and be-
tween Satino and Plan di SEQ the en-
tire neighbOrhood is given up to the cult
walton of vines, olives and iris.
Indian corn, wheat and millet find
place; but wine, oil and orrs root are
the three commercial indusTies. Per-
golns of vines stretch along as far as the
eye can see; vines with clusters Of pur-
pie or white grapes, olives laden with
green berries, and under them and be-
tween them little plantations of iris dali
matica.
The iris, or giaggolo, as it Is called in
Italy, Is planted thinly and allowed to
grow for three years, when the roots are
dug up and tied in big bundles. These
are then prepared. Nearly the whole of
the tuberous root is cut off, leaving only
a tiny bit with fibers in order that the
plant may grow when replanted, as it
is at once for another three years of
peace.
The tubers are then thrown into big
basins of water. and the whole family of
the contadlne or peasant sitting on the
doorstep of their house or under the per

the business of peeling them previous to
