The seedless lemon which botanical
experts have unsucccssfully sought for
many years has been discovered IN
Rialto, Calf. A revolution in the
lemon industry is expected to result.
The bud wood from which the trees
now bearing the seedless lemons rave
grown came from a sample provided
by the department of agriculture a
number of years ago. Twelve trees,
all of which grow lemons without a
sign of seed, form part of a groy"
owned by l. E. Bush of Rialto. Re
sponsible government experts pro-
nounced them the only seedless lemon
trees known to exist in the entire

Soon after the council convened in

special statement prepared and filed

Not only have we reached the
point where there are no more unpaid

now reached a point where the de-

have been disposed of. The unpaid
warrants amounted to about $4,000

been wiped out and now we only owe

the celebration of victory in war, as a part of the marriage ceremony,
or in commemoration of any event of great note, with due solemnity
a dance is given significant of the particular occasion. Among these
the War Dance is probably one of the most interesting; to the beating
of the tom TOM, accompanied by the mornings of tn. squaws seated
in a circle Just inside the ring in which the braves dance, the war
whoops and weird calls continue as long as the "war spirit prevails
and the varied and difficult steps used in this, as in many other OF
their native dances, are not only pleasing but inimitable.
The entire program given by them at the Roundup will be under
the direction of the chiefs of the different tribes; besides the ceremon
ial dances, gorgeous parades, special pony races for both bucks and
squaws in true savage style-without saddles or brides-many of the
Indians will compete with the whites in the bucking contest, wild
horse race and steer roping event.
Among no race of people may be found more pride and dignity
than among the Indians, and it is never more in evidence than when,
mounted on their ponies in their gay finerv, feathers and paint, they
appear in the War Parade each afternoon of the show, and also III
the spectacular Westward Ho! parade.

Long before white men ever broke a trail on western territory these

a result, their descendants are today the proud possessors of many

There is a strange and wild fascination about the life Of the Indian

Their love Of sports and games, together with the very severe

worthy of mention when it is known that for many months prior to
meeting GQtchY Parsons Motanic had been leading the simple life of
a farmer on his allotment south Of the city.

Possibly no scene during the entire show so wildly recalls the

the beating of the old time "tom tom" whose call summons each and
