OFFICIAL CHANGES.
The New Deal Takes Effect In the
 State of Sonora.

StaA@ OI SouoIds
 Sunday General Luis E. Torres rendered his resignation as civil governor to the state congress at Hermosillo, and at the same time Mir. A. G. Cubillas presented his resignation as vice governor. Both reslgnations were accepted, and immediately the congress elected Mir. AbelinO Espinosa to serve as governor ad interim until arrival of the provisional state officials selected by the Madero junta at Ciudad Juarez. For some reason not appearing on the surface the congress cancelled later the election of Mir. Espinosa and elected Mir. Francisco Aguilar governor ad in- terlm, who was installed and held the reins of government until We'd nesday when there arrived at Her. mOsillo from Cahanea Mir. Eugenio Gayou, the provisional vice gover. nor, to whom MT. Aguilar surrend. cred the office, and Mir. Gayou took over the government under the arrangement made preceding the resignation of President Diaz. As soon as MT. Jose Maria Maytorena, the provisional governor named by the Madero junta arrives from Ciudad Juarez, where he has been some time in consultation with the Madero junta, the supervision of the affairs of state will be taken in hand by that gentleman. His arrival at Hermosillo is expected at any time.
 With the information that the congress had named Espinosa gov ernor ad interim there was circu lated disquieting rumor that the state congress would not recognize the provisional government, and that force would be used to install the new officials. There was neither cause nor foundation for such a statement; but it was put upon the wires by all the news paper correspondents on the border, and given wide circulation through the press of the United States.
 The new provisional government of the state of Sonora includes some of the most prominent and widely known men in the state. MT. Jose Maria Maytorena is the owner of several great htciendas Tn the vicinity of Ortiz and Guaymas and has been engaged also in ex- tensive transportation enterprises, his wagon trains having carried large part of the traffic from the railroad at Ortiz to the Realito, La Dura and Tonichi region, on the Yaqui. MT. Maytorena is a man of affairs, and in his hands the administration of the government of Sonora will be safe.
 One of the first acts of the pro- visional vice governor upon his accession to the executive power was to install as secretary of state

ls almost uniformly the same and the flavor of the avocado is un- mistakable. When fully ripe the flesh is about the consistency of good butter, is of pale green color and of smooth oily nature. It re- quires only a little time to acquire great fondness for this food, which Is eaten simply spread upon bread or Tn sandwiches, or made into various salads, or served in the skin with the stone removed and eaten with a spoon with the usual salad dressing. The avocado, there fore, IS very well christentd the "salad fruit" It contains 19 per cent fat, which makes it exceeding ly nutritious in addition to it's rich, nutty flavor.
 A few trees have been growing in Southern California for many years, reaching large size and bear ing we'll, amply proving our clim. ate we'll suited to their perfect de- velopment, but these trees raised by different individuals from seed, happen all to produce 8 small, thin skinned fruit useful for home consumption but impracticabl for market or shipping. In the last few years the United States govern menI has done much in the study Of the avocado (introducing it both in our South Atlantic states and Hawaii) and various nursery men in Southern California have begun raising seedlings. The tree does not produce true to the seed and 1t is necessary to bud all seedlings to some good variety. It will very soon be easy for orchard men here abouts to purchase the small tree budded to any one of the many varieties of the fruit and also to bear at almost any desired season of the year.
 This last feature, of course, makes it possible to market the fruit when it is most desirable. The Republic of Mexico, offering as it does an endless variety of climatic conditions and especially many localities with climate closely resembling that of Southern Cali fOrnia, is the natural source of sup ply for the avocado industry. There we may find the salad fruit in all its varieties. As we have said, nothing has been done to. wards it's improved cultivation, SO that we have nothing to learn from our Mexican neighbors in this re. gard. and have only to do sufficient travelling to find the best kinds and climates for our purpose. This has recently been done by K. o. Popence of lA1tadena, who already has in his nursery many thousand seedling and a considerable num- Der of trees budded to the choicest and hardest varieties, which are thriving at that place.
 The avocado in Mexico ripens in different localities at different sea- sons so that the markets of that coutry are supplied with this fruit practically the year round and it is staple article everywhere.
 Because there is no intelligent effort in Mexico to produce and ship any fruit, it is not handled largely by our importers and the price on this coast for fine large specimens is usually 50 cents each. Of course as production begins and increases here the price will

SALAD FRUIT.
An instructive Article About the Mex
 lean Aguacate.

James MdTbHd!l OOululDR, Ol Pasadena, California, who spent the months of February and March last investigating the general con. ditions and culture of the aguacate in different sections of Mexico, con tributed the following article on Mexico's salad fruit" to his home paper, the Riverside Daily Press:
 Americans, ard especially Ca- liornians, are continually drawing from all parts of the world and adapting to their own use new foods and fruits. There is one article, more food than fruit, which 1t is strange has not been intro- duced in our country long ago. This is the alligator pear, or, as it is known throughout all Spanish America, the aguacate. The United States Department of agriculture, in the course of it's recent investi. gations of the fruit has decided that the latter name is too difficult for us and has kindly coined the name avocado, by which it is des. tined to be known hereafter.
 The avocado Is not confined to the tropics, but is found in the  high frosty parts of Mexico, where it reaches perfection as we'll as in the hottest countries. It is pro. duced by tree of the laurel family, which has evergreen foliage and similar habit to the orange tree; although as it has never been pruned and cared for, as we care for our fruit trees, there is yet no way of judging just how the tree would behave under such treat ment. The tree produces fruit in it's native climates at five years, at which time the tree is some ten feet in height and bears 25 fruits. At fifteen years the trees are 30 to 40 feet in height, spreading rather widely, the trunk measuring 12 to IS inches in diameter, and the fruit 400 to 600 in number. The trees continue to grow in height and thickness and at 30 to 40 years of age are splendid specimens, and Oearingas high as 2000 fruit. There Is no reason to doubt that if cul. 5lVated and pruned properly the same quantities of fruit, and prob ably of better size and quality, would be produced and the tree Kept in convenient size for gather llngthe fruit in the best way, which In our country does not include the Mexican method of barefoot boys and men swarming about the tree tops after the fruit or jerking I down with hooks.
 The avocado has so many forms that perhaps it were native with SWe would call them by different names, but these forms are not the result of climatic conditions. They are are all found in all the diverse Vllmates of Mexico, and vary from 3ua slender pear shape 3 or i Il, ,ac0eS long, through every variety VI round and oval to 2 or 8 pouod fruit, 8 inches in it's largest tl@ension.
