Varieties of Bananas.

TO most persons IN the temperate
zones banana is a banana. But the
truth is that there are over sixty
known varieties of the fruit, with as
great or greater variation in character
as the different kinds Of apples. ua-
wall is said to have something over
forty distinct varieties Of the fruit.
most Of which have been introduced by
the whites. Some OF these are Of eX-
trcmely delicate and delicious flavor,
while other kinds are used, If at oil,
only when cooked in various ways.
There is scarcely q city house lot or
country "kulcana' or homestead which
does not have q clump Or two Of ba-
nanaS, which grow with practically no
care, new plants or suckers shooting
out to replace the ones which have
fruited and been removed.

Queenstown, numbering slightly more
than 5000 souls, has thrccfOG dis

and EritiSh naval station. It is a

mild climate, and, being built upon an
island, its streets rise in terraces one
above the other and offer superb out

Within fifty years the place was ONLY
a small fishing village and was known
as the Cove Of Cork. It's present name
was received in 1910 by reason Of its
having been the first spot in Ireland
upon which Queen Victoria set foot.
1t still serves as the port Of the city Of
Cork, from which it Is twelve miles dis

OF entry Of the river Lee into the bay.
The harbOr Of Queenstown is splcn-

and .Camden-at its entrance and by
Fort Westmorcland, which is situated
upon Spike island. one Of the group Of

Last Monday night delegates to the State Tax Conference, were royalty entertained at the Santa Cruz Club by members of the Chamber of Commerce and Santa Cruz Club, many members ot which were present to meet the tax commission, supervisors, tax assessors and clerks of boards from the various counties in the state.

Hardy delivered an address of welcome which was enthusias- tically received by those pre- SeEt.
 z. M Zander, chairman of the state tax commission, responded to the address of welcome, being followed by Charles Howe and Rudolph Kuchler, also members of the commission.
 Supervisors c. w. Peterson of Maricopa, George Truman, as- sessor of Pinal county, and Sup ervisor Ike Proebstel of Yuma county, made talks during which they thanked Nogales for the royal reception rendered them, and testified to our wonderful climate, etc.
 One of the most pleasing num- bers of the evening was the de- clamaticn by Milton D. Bowers of the 35th Infantry.
 The songs by Monroe Broth CTS, and Pershing's Expedition Quartette of the 10th U. s. Cav airy, were greatly appreciated.
 After the luncheon and infor- nal reception, six round box ing contest between Knockout Quinn of the 35th Infantry and Battling Lamb of the 10th Cav airy, was witnessed. Deputy United States Marshal Harold Brown acted as referee. Uncle Sans boys gave fine exhibi- tion of the manly art, which end- ed in a draw.
