Good Trade Balance.

Our foreign trade balance at the end of
June should exceed $5OO.OO 900. thanks to
exports of greater volume than ever before
attained-a position radically different from
that of last year. Furthermore. the prom
ised abundance of cotton and wheat should
enable us to export very large amounts
during the second half OF the current year,
and the quietness in domestic trade, COM
bined with the lowering OF costs, tends TO
stimulate exports OF general merchandise.
Therefore it may confidently be said,
business IL all right

Another fact of very general interest
developed by the congressional investiga-
tions is the fact that II. o. Havemeyer,
for years the head Of the sugar trust, abb
solutely dominated that S9O,OOOO0O, though
he owned only 100000 OF the stock. The
question is being asked how many more

of men whose stock ownership is prac-
tically negligible.

FOR LYNCH LAW

The repetition of previous abuse
of the pardoning power during the
absence of Governor Sloan, by Act
ing Governor Young, has created a
storm of protest throughout the Ter
ritory. Perhaps the acting COVER
nor has his own reasons for such use
of executive clemency, but if he has
he should make his reasons public, or
else he subjects himself to severe
public criticism.
The delays of the law and failure
to promptly and adequately punish
criminals afford the only excuses for
the existence of lynchings and an
archy. The pardoning and parole
of prisoners who have served only
one twelfth of the sentences imposed
upon them by juries Of their peers,
has the same effect upon public sem
timent as the acquittal of criminal!
through some technicality of the law,
and offers an equal excuse for an out
ragged people to take the law into
their own hands.
In at least one of the recent cases
the people of the vicinity in which the
crime was committed are surprised
and shocked at the pardon of the
perpetrator. According to the pa
pers of that city the man. saloon
keeper, had attempted to murder an
officer in the discharge of his duty.
The fact that the crime was not muir

RECORD IS BROKEN
The 1911 Cantaloupe Crop Is
Valued at $2,250,0o0.
Melons of Fine Quality

The Southern Pacific Company
has practically completed one of the
greatest crop movements in the his
torp of any transportation company
in this country. This movement
was the handling of the cantaloupe
croy of the Imperial valley, Cali
fornia, and of the crop in Arizona
and Nevada. Up to and including
midnight, July Oath, the Southern
Pacific Company had shipped 2,S44
cars of cantaloupes out Of the I'm
perial valley during the season of
approximately two months. About
100 more cars remain to be shipped
from this point to the markets.
This record exceeds all previous
shipments by approximately 1000
cars. The cantaloupe crop of Ari-
IONA up to and including July Oath,
amounts to 4O3 cars, with about 300
more cars of this fruit to be shipped.
About Is cars have already been
shipped from the Moapa district in
Nevada by the San Pedro, Los An
geles and Salt Lake road, about 100
more remaining to be shipped.
Nearly 100000 pounds of ice
were required for the shipping of
these cantaloupes. The biggest
days picking was June 18th when
1873 carloads were harvested. These
cars were hauled from Brawley, the
shipping center, to Imperial juno
ton, on the main line of the South
ern Pacific, in one train, the length
of which was 6,175 feet. consider
ably more than mile long. There
were 324 crates in each car and 45
melons to each crate, or a total
number of 1850 melons in each
car, and in this long train 1889, l40
melons. The largest previous train
load of cantaloupes was shipped
from the Imperial valley in 1908,
SO cars moving over the Southern
Pacific lines to eastern points. When
one appreciates the fact that each
of these melons was handled at least
three times. in picking. wrapping
and Grating. they can readily i'm
agine the army of men necessary in
the field to do this work.
Two and quarter million dollars
is the estimate Of value put on the
Imperial valley cantaloupe crop, now
that the season is near its end. One
feature of this years output is. that
despite its size, the melons have
been of better quality than ever be-
fore.

The Old Grammatical Error

The most celebrated scholar of
his time described grammar as con.
sisting Of twenty-six parts to-wit:
Words. letters, syllables, clauses,
dictions, speeches, definitions, feet,
accent, punctuation, signs, spelling
analogies, etymologies, CLOSES, diff
ferences, barbarisms, solecisms, met,
aplasms, faults, schemata, tropes,
prose, meter, fables and histories. 7"
The time, to be sure, was that of
Charlemagne. when scholarship was
not in a flourishing state; and AL
cuin. whom the emperor set up to
be schoolmaster of Europe, could
hardly pass" in the second grade
of country district school nova
days.
For all that, a majority of our
public schools still teach grammar
pretty much as Alcuin taught it. We
still tell our youths that language
consists of metaplasms. tropes, prose,
meter, some fifteen or twenty differ,
ent sorts of verbs, adjectives and
adverbs each nicely distinguished
from the others by rules having ex-
ceptions which apply to more cases
than the rules themselves apply to-.
Our bin is of a different shape and
contains a somewhat different as
sortment of dry bones, but it is Just
about as appetizing as Alcuin's.
The best grammatical definition
was written by Heine, who said
that the important difference be-
tween regular and irregular verbs
is that the latter cause youngsters
more whippings. Probably this is
the only difference that any college
graduate not professionally engaged
in teaching grammar was ever able
to remember when he had been ten
years out of school. F

kill lies in the bad craftsmanship or
faulty weapons of the assailant, and
not in his intentions nor in his kind
heartedness. He endeavored to kill
the officer, and succeeded in so far
as to render his victim cripple for
life. A jury imposed sentence OF
twelve years, and had the sentence
not been just it would have been re-
versed. After serving less than one
year, the intended assassin is as free
as the most law abiding citizen.
Naturally mistakes are made, but
they should not be made every time
the governor steps across the bor-
der of the Territory, and few of the
Young pardons have any of the ear
marks of mistakes, or any apparent

FINE FARMING LAND
Big Crops Being Raised this
Year Near Fl. Thomas

Farmers in the vicinity of Fl.
Thomas are experiencing this year
the best and most successful crops
ever raised in that part of the ella
valley. During the past two years
a large acreage of land has been
put in cultivation. and this has been
made possible by the improvements
that have been made in irrigating
the lands. The new canal has been
very successful in furnishing a plen-
teous supply of water. which has
brought under cultivation many
acres of land. Big crops of wheat,
barley and alfalfa are being raised
this year, also fruits, vegetables,
cantaloupes and watermelons.
The new conditions at Fl. Thomas
have brought many inquiries for
land for home builders, and recent
ly several large tracts were sold to
progressive farmers.
At Fl. Thomas, C. D. Stephens.
whose business block was recently
destroyed by fire, is erecting con-
crete store building, 3Ox6O feet,
with handsome plate glass front.
This building will be great i'm
provement to the town. There are
several other concrete buildings be-
ing planned, which will be erected
in the near future.
Those seeking a fine farm, with
good rich soil and plenty Of water
for irrigation, will do well to pay a
visit to Fit. Thomas and look over
the country.
The mill at Fl. Thomas is in full
operation, grinding the valley wheat
into fine -four and rolling barley
raised on the surrounding farm
lands.
The prospects are good for sue
cessful farming in this country that
few years ago, was desert and
is now garden spot through irri-
cation.
