Every ranch. CT in Arizona must be his own chem. ist. Soils ip Arizona are so various that every rsncher must inform him- g. If .s to the chemical compound of | his own .oii. In my experie nee, on grubbing out the mesquite on my homestead near Tucson, found few acres where the mesquite run down the toproot very nicely. There l hsd fDe soil for about six feet, but right adjoining, no tree had any root d eper iu the earth han F inches. As sn average thing, trees ID Arizona don't toproot and are short lived.

A JOLLY WHIST PARTY,

The whist party given in Cummings
hall by the OrOville WOmen's Civic
League, last Friday evening was not
as largely attended as it should have
been, considering the admirable or
ganization that was to be benefited
from the proceeds. However, the only
ones who have any reason to regret
the lack of attendance are those who
failed to be present, for under the man.
agement of the League the party was
the most enjoyable social affair that
has been given in Oroville for an age
There were some fourteen tables oc-
cupied by players, and from the merry
laughter that continually rippled
through the hall it was evident that
the participants were extracting a
great deal of pleasure from the session.
Light refreshments were served by
the ladies at midnight, and the young
er people indulged in dancing for a
short time. Mrs. E. E. Elmer was
awarded the lady's prize for the great
est number of progressions, and F. A.
De Vos captured the gentleman
favor. Mrs. Chas. Powell, Mrs. A. E.
Schultz and Mrs. Mate Irwin were
tied for the consolation prize, and in
the draw the honor fell to the first
named lady. Mate Irwin took home
the consolation prize for gentlemen.

TRIFLE OVER ANXIOUS.

All along the line OF the projected
and partially graded branch of the
Great Northern system between Oro-
vile and Wenatchee anxiety to see
trains running Is so great that any
kind of dope handed out announcing
the beginning of construction is ac-
cepted with cheerful credence. News
paper statements, based upon these
reports eminating from any old source
without the respectability of authority,
are amusing to those living at this
end of the grade, where actual build
ing will probably be known as soon as
at any other point along the line, see-
ing that the start, when made, will be
in sight of town. OF all the papers
that get the wrong steer the Wenat-
chez World seems to be the easiest
taken in, and the most remarkable
announcement so far eminating from
that source appeared in the issue of
last Saturday, and reads as follows
with the use of one of the latest
track-laying machines and a large
crew of workers, A. Guthrie & Co., of
st. Paul, have begun the laying of
steel on the new branch line of the
Great Northern from Oroville to Pa
teros, WASH" Which would be inter-
esting, If true, but the track laying
machine Is not on the ground yet, al
though 1t is expected any day.

of concrete, and is simply big niche
in the side of the bay. A ship to be
dry docked is steamed into place, an
immense gate of concrete is swung
across the opening into the sea, and
gigantic pumps empty the big basin of
water in the space of from three to
five hours. When the necessary repairs
are completed on the ship the water
is turned back, the gate swings open,
and the vessel backs into the bay un-
der her own steam.
Everything about the yard is built
on the same gigantic order. Great
re-enforced concrete buildings house
the machinery and offices, and the
yard maintains railroad system of
oil burning locomotives. While WIS.,
itors are free to come in and walk
about the yard at any time during
hours guard at the entrance gate
scrutinizes each visitor as he passes.
The visitor within the yard is allowed
no baggage, and especially is any
thing that looks like camera barred.
Neither must the visitor be found car
rying anything when he leaves the
yard The visitor is not allowed to
converse with the workmen, nor are
the workmen permitted to speak to
strangers within the gates. The nee
essity of this precautiOn is obvious.
Smoking is not allowed within the en-
closure. If these rules are observed
the visitor would probably not be
aware that the yard maintains a pO-
lice force, but transgression, how
ever slight, will Immediately make
him cognizant of the presence of these
officers.
Lying about the yard are numer-
Gus guns, and through the windows OF
the ordinance building may be seen
specimens of the deadly shells and
other ammunition. In the harbor are
several fighting machines. including
battle ships, cruisers, gun boats and
torpedo boats. Among this group just
now is the grand old ship Oregon"
which is to add to her fame by being
the first ship to pass through the Pan
anna canal A trip about the harbor,
lodging in and out among the enor-
nous fighting machines, with the flag
on every side, is sufficient to make
anyone but socialist proud to claim
American citizenship. The trip is one
worth while, and when | get time /
am going back and see the balance.
Capt. Dufiield is comfortably sit
uated in neat little home in Port
Orchard, where he is the owner of
considerable property. He has been
asked to re-enter the immigration SER
vice, from which he resigned on leav-
ing Oroyille, and E,ay Dc so. Should
he 60 back he will probably be locat-
ed at Midway"

A VISIT TO BREMERTON.

From private letter received from
Fred. j. Fine, formerly one of the
proprietors of the Gazette, and who is
spending the winter near Seattle, the
following account of visit to an old
Oroville citizen, and trip to the navy
yard will be read with interest by the
friends of the writer:
Il am just on my way home from a
trip to Port Orchard. where Mrs. Fine
and spent very pleasant day at the
home of Capt. A. M. Dufield. Port
Orchard is the county seat of Kitsap
county, and town but little larger
than OrOville. Located there Is the
Old Soldiers Home, on which the state
has spent a great deal of money, and
those who know say that when the
work now under way is completed it
will be the biggest and best equipped
Soldiers Home in the west.
Just across an arm of the bay, and
about a mile distant from Port Or
chard. is the navy yard and town of
Bremerton, being sort of an adjunct to
the navy yard. Bremerton has paved
streets and other evidences of becom-
ing town of some magnitude. Its
existence depends wholly upon the
business created by the large force
employed at the government works.
the greater share of which the town
gets. The navy yard. of course, is a
big enclosure containing all the gov
ernmet buildings, machine shops, dry
docks and such usual adjuncts Any
one is admitted to the yard at any time
during working hours, and in COM
pany with Capt. Duffield spent sew
eral hours, sight seeing, staying, in
fact, until the evening whistle drove
us through the gate, and could easily
have spent hours longer with equal in
terest. In the dry dock at the present
time is revenue cutter, the Ia
homa" and several smaller craft. The
dry dock looks like a big affair to the
man from inland, and no doubt is such.
but hardly compares with the new dry
dock just receiving the finishing touch
es. This latter it is said will care for
the largest ship in the world with
plenty of space to spare. 1t is built
