Date Raising in Arizona.

Arizona. the land of many surprises and delights, has presented us with another rare fruit-the date. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to partake of the date, fresh and ripe from the palm, know why the fruit is so highly prized abroad
 Climatic conditions in which the date palm grows and natures perfect fruit are found only in a few places. In the south central part of Arizona, along the valleys of the Gila. the Salt and the Colorado rivers, the conditions are very favorable. The sections where the best results are secured are at elevations of from sea level to twenty five hundred feet, though the earlier varieties will ripen at higher eleva- tions, where the growing season Is shorter. When properly Irrigated the date palm will grow luXuriantly In any of the soils in the valleys of the south west.
 As a crop for alkaline soils the date palm promises a revenue from hitherto unproductive areas, and a profitable one at that. Palms at five years have produced in one season over $40 worth of dates. The dates of the finer varie- ties sell readily at twenty five cents a pound. The color of the fruit ranges rom golden to a vivid red, these tints changing as the fruit ripens, the yellow to amber and the red to a deep black
 Many of our native seedlings as well as imported varieties are worthy of propagation. which is done by means of the offshoots of suckers.
 During the season of ripening, the punches of dates are protected from birds and insects by coverings of thin cloth. The palms require little care after becoming well rooted. and are hardy, withstanding frosts that injure other fruits.

WHAT IS INTERESTING WESTERLY Y
Merchants Free Distribution of Horns Children Results in Noisy Day Before-Hampton Students Entertain Big Audience Getting Used to New Trolley Schedule Miss Greenman's Burial at River Bend

m Westerly which went into effect on Wednesday morning was somewhat confusing to the public for the first day, but when the changes are better understood they will be more appre- clated. Running the cars from Nor Wich direct to Pleasant View and those from Ashaway direct to Watch Hill, and without delay at Dixon square, has relieved the congestion in Broad street, which served as terminal Tor both lines. The general service is greatly improved by the change. This hourly service is the same as hereto fore, While extra cars are run between Westerly and Watch Hill, so as not to interfere with the regular half hour schedule.
 Work is being pushed as rapidly as possible on the Casino building and that station to be designated as At lantc Beach. The rails are nearly all laid 10 Weekapaug. and it is practical ly sure that cars will be operated to the new terminal by the end of the present week. The travelled highway parallel with the trolley road tracks is in an almost impossible condition. but this road will be put in good shape as soon as the trolley road ballast worL; is completed. At present the rims of vehicles are buried in the sand and animals and engines are tested to the limit in travelling through the sandy substance. This Toadbed is to be re- built with gravel and placed in even better condition than before the build ing of the trolley road was commence ed.

Even the sheep at the antipodes have developed the carnivorous habit" according to a Melbourne newspaper. They have taken to at tacking and eating each other as well as rabbits which are still very nu- merous in Australia, in spite of the prodigious quantities of them that are trapped, timed and exported So far the phenomenon of the carnivorous sheep has not been noticed outside the southern district of New South Wales.

As a sort of prologue to Inoepend- ence Day a local store made general distribution of toot horns Wednesday morning. and the resultant noisy dem- onstraEon was hailed with joy by a civil war veteran, who made open declaration in Dixon square that the denionsIration was a reminder of the good old days, before this new-fangfed safe and sane idea was advocated. He added that when he was a boy the tel- low who made the biggest noise was considered the biggest patriot, and that the energy put into the noisy eel ebration was merely an outburst Of pent up patriotism. The old Fourth of July celebration he said, was one of his pleasantest memories, and thsaKh he was old, fidglty and not in the best of health. he was still in favor of celebrating the Fourth in the good old, fashioned, noisy way, for, he said. ia cOncfsion: What was good naough for Washington is good enough for me"
 A young man who stood near advo- eated the observance of the Fourth with religious service and patriotic sermons and songs with a parade of children and a band. He said he would suggest to the distributor of toot horns that year hence he substitute Amer lean flags for the horns.

Philip Brady was out in the fields recently and noticed that his horse was uneasy. He went to the place where the animal was tied to see what the matter was, and without warning was struck on the boot leg by the fangs of a rattlesnal1e, but luckily the fangs did not penetrate the tough leather. MT. Brady made short work of his snakeship, and when he was measured he was found to be some thing over three feet long and to have six rattles. The place where the en- counter took place is on Popple Tree Hill, and it was near this place that Mir. Brady and his father killed & rat tier fourteen years ago that had six teen rattles.
