PLAN TO WATER $4,000
ACRES OF ARIZONA LAND

YUMA Ariz., Nov. 21.-Annuncement
has been made for the first time of
proposed new irrigation system for Ari-
zona. The statement was made at the
Laguna dam, where participants in the
syphon celebration at Yuma were in
specting the mammoth diversion dam,
sluiceways and canals whose compile
ton has been the cause of the three
days jubilation now in progress, py
j. Y. Ryan, the bridge engineer Of the
new state
In building a bridge across the Gila
rirer in the Ocean-to-Ocean highway
we will have estimates made for
dam which will serve not only in di-
verting the waters of the river to
the land on either side, but also as
a bridge in this great transcontinental
thoroughfare," said Mr.. Ryan The
estimates are for bridges and possible
dams TO be located at Welton or Dome
In either case the bridge will be 700
feet across and will tax the state near
ly 100000
In the event that the irrigation sys-
TEN is an outcome of the coast to coast
road, $4,000 acres in the Antelope valley
may be put under water and should
the system be realized as is now an
ticipated $4,000 acres in the adjoining
Mohawk valley will be annexed to the
system.
California capitalists are now spend =
ing large sums of money in exploiting
irrigation in this section, which equally
as fertile as the Yuma and Imperial
valleys and which will make available
to immigrant homeseekers another
vast acreage of land"

number of varieties of pomelo, all of
which are of no commercial value.
One variety of lemon promises to be
of some value, but at this time we
cannot say that it has any advantages
over the varieties now being grown
here.
One or two varieties of mandarin
also give promise of being valuable
sorts. but as yet we have not tested
them sufficiently to feel justified in in
Producing them.
In our collection we have a seedless
lemon from Algiers which is quite a
novelty. it being pyriform or pear
shaped and absolutely seedIess. How
ever, beyond its value for home use, it
has no commercial value.
1 might also mention the Bearss
seedless lime, introduced some years
ago by ]. T. Bearss, then of Porter
VILE and now a resident of Florida
1t is about twice the size of the Mex
lean lime, very thin skinned, and alb
solutely seedless, apd has a perfect
lime flavor. We have been marketing
this fruit for a number of years, and
find that it is preferred for bar trade
to either the Mexican lime or lemon.
The citron of commerce has been
grown in California for years, although
little if any attempt has been made
to preserve the peel, ana it has been
generally understood that there was
some particular process of curing il
that prevented any attempt at this
work. The fruit on number of trees
in our orchard at Exeter has been
going to waste for several years, until
this spring, when our foreman decided
to try the experiment of preserving it.
To our surprise, he has produced a
candied citron much superior to the i'm
ported product, and we see no reason
why California cannot produce a prod

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 21.-George c.
Hussmann, .pomologist of the United
States department of agriculture, after
a visit to IL of the IL viticultural sta
tions in California, announces that no
where in the country are the vineyards
in as good condition as they are in
this state, which produces rs per cent
of the grapes used in the United States
According to Hussmann, the packing
of grapes in sawdust for shipment and
preservation, tried this year for the
first time on large scale, is a pro-
nounced success, and during 1912 al
least 10000 drums of grapes will be
shipped in sawdust for the midwintel

TWO PYTHONS FOUND

VENICE, Nov. 21.-Considerable ex-
citement was caused here when two
large python snakes, one of which was
more than II feet in length, and the
other a fraction over nine feet were
discovered in the basement of the Epi-
curean cafe, located on windward ave
nue. and the ocean front
The snakes were discovered sleep
ing contentedly against one Of the
warm furnace pipes.
Two men stealthily approached and
slipped a moose over each one of their
heads.
The snakes made no effort to fight
their captors and seemed to sleep all
through the experience. They were
taken TO the ground floor of the cafe
and placed in a large covered box,
where they will remain until they are
claimed by the owner. It is thought
the snakes belong to the AL G. Barnes
wild animal show, which was quar-
tered here for the winter last year.
Two py+hons escaped from the circus
last January
One of the snakes refused to eat,
but the other consumed a dozen raw
eggs without an effort. John Maxim,
owner Of the cafe, states that he hopes
to get in touch with the owners with

Each prisoner is credited with two
days to be deducted from his sentence

Col. Charles w. Harris, who is adju-

one of the prominent prison reformers

is taking the building of roads as the

was commended by T. J. Fisher of the

who was one of the party of 20 which
came from the southern port city in
special car to participate in the cele-
bration, which marks a new era, not
only for Yuma county, but for San
Diego and other Southern California
cities and counties as well

uct better than that which is imported
and for which the people of the United
States spend thousands of dollars each
year. The process of preserving the
citron is somewhat tedious, yet the op-
Grafton is simple, and any one with
patience and care can produce as good
or better candied citron than that af-
forded.
There are a number of other new
varieties now being tested out in diff
ferent parts of the state, but the most
of these are either not yet fruiting or
have not been sufficiently tested to
prove whether they would be of any
comm ercial value.
The old saying, There is always

of fruit, and those engaged in this
important vocation should be encour-
aged to continue their work by all

to produce something better than that

The announcement is made that a
contract was signed yesterday between
Walter o. Hamilton and varney Bros.
& Co. whereby the former is to take
the mana cement of a new departm ment
store to be opened in Ell Centre so
soon as arrangements can be made
for building with frontage of 100
feet. No place has yet been found,
but it is taken for granted that it will
be necessary for a building to be
erected for the purpose. 1t is required
that the structure shall be in the busi-
ness heart of the city, and some diff
Guilty may be experienced in securing
just the kind of quarters needed.
This is the only one of the older
towns in the valley in which Varney
Bros & Co. have no store, the com
pany having started in Imperial ana
from that point reached out until it
now has stores in HoltvilIe, Brawley.
CaleXico and Heber, in all of which
places the company enjoys good
trade.
1t is. stated that the store to be put
in here will be the largest store the
company has, the equipment and stock
being up TO the high requirements of
the city
The coming of Varney Brothers 70
Ell Centro illustrates the tendency of
trade to centralize in this city, and it
will have a tendency to bring to this
point people who have for years been
patrons of the company, and it is be
lieved the merchants of the city gem
orally will welcome the arrival, be-
lieving that this additional store will
AIDA enough to the total of trade to
make good the additional division be-
tween the places of business.
The new establishment will be a com
plete department store. with dry goods,
clothing, mems furnishings, groceries,
addition made to the business houses
of the city for many days.
1t is known that negotiations are al
ready under way looking to the build
ing of suitable structure for the COM
pany, but nothing has yet been de-
cided on, and il may be some time be-
fore an announcement on this line can
be made.

NURSERYMEN'S VIEW OF
CITRUS FRUIT VARIETIES

The report of the committee Of the
California Nurserymen's Association on
citrus fruits was presented at the con-
vention last week by w. r. Wood of
Los Angeles as follows:
The citrus industry of California has
the last 25 years that it hardly seems
necessary at this time to go into de-
have all new and up-to date cultural
m ethods, pest eradication and other
important phases of the industry been
given publicity by our agricultural pa
pers and government reports that it
seems unnecessary to make any men
tion of these matters. 1 realize that
in the advancement of those horticul-
tural industries that we are particu-
larly connected with in the growing of
nursery stock. To this end we are
always interested in new varieties that
promise to. benefit the industry, or in
new cultural methods that tend to in
crease production.
There have been a number Of new
varieties of citrus fruits introduced
during the last 10 or is years, but
none that have the remotest possibil-
ity of rivaling our celebrated Wash
ington navel (the orange that has
made California famous).
The Thompson Improved navel in
troduced by Mr.. Thompson of Duarte
gave promise of being a decided i'm
provement over the Washington navel,
but this is only from outward appear
ance. While it is really a good or
ange, its chief merit is in it's out
ward appearance, and when it comes
to eating quality it has very little if
any advantage over the Washington
navel.
The Golden Nugget navel is an ex-
cellent orange. It is somewhat larger
than the average Washington navel. It
is very thin skinned and full of juice
and gives promise of being a valuable
sort.
The Navelencia, another introduction
of ME-. Thompson, was supposed to com
bine the latencss of the Valencia late
with the superb quality Of the Wash
ington navel, and thus give US a late
navel But while the quality is good,
the origination did not get enough of
the lateness mixed in to make it a
desirable orange
The Jaffa or Joppa, one of the older
irtroductions from Palestine, is per
haps little known by most nursery
men, and in fact it is only within the
last one or two years that we have
considered it worth propagating This
is a very thrifty and hardy variety,
somewhat similar to the Valencia late,
although it ripens a little earlier Our
observation from trees that are pro-
ducing in the San Joaquin valley is
that it will prove to be a valuable sort
for that section, ripening as it does
between the navel and the Valencia
We have, during the last few years,
| received a great many new varieties
OF citrus fruits from the department
of agriculture, and I am sorry to say
| that the majority of these have proved
| to be failures as far as commercial
fruits are concerned. In all cases,
we have fruited out these new varie-
ties before attempting to introduce
| them. In the collection we have a
