SUBSIST MAINLY ON DATES
Fruit Is the Malnstay Of Life to the
People Of Egypt, Arabia,
and Persia.

East is west so far as the palm is
concerned, Hawaii, California, Flor
ida, Cuba, Egypt, Palestine, they all
know their palms. OF all varieties
none is SO dear to the heart as the
date palm. We all know it's delicious
fruit, but few can conceive the desert
dweller's love for it, for he only can
appreciate its grateful shade in the
sweltering desert heat.
The date palm is always sure sign
Of water, for to thrive 1t must have
this. Rising often to a height of 100
feet, it is a haven of refuge to the
parehed traveller, who knows that to
dig near it is to find water. Then
there is the delicious fruit to be con-
sidered, too. Many of us know the
date as a luxury-sometimes stuffed
or otherwise, but considerable part
of the inhabitants Of Egypt, Of
Arabia and Persia, subsist almost en-
tirely on its fruit. They boast also of
its medicinal virtues. Then the cam
els feed upon the date stone.

New Orleane Bringing a tale of a
four days fight with the tropical hur-

the Cuyamel Fruit companys steamer
Omoa, carrying passengers and cargo,
arrived in New Orleans.
The Omoa, which tl'es the flag of
Honduras, is Of 1,094 net tons, and left
Port Cortez, Honduras, with 20 pas
sengers and full cargo of fruit. Ac-
cording to the story of Capt. Wermund
Haupen, the vessel had no warning of
tropical disturbance, and the weather
seemed fair for a quick run to New
Orleans.
September 20, according to the cap
tain, the wind freshened, light rain
came up and the barometer started
falling. The ship continued on her
course, and next morning the waves
were breaking over the decks The
engine room was flooded and the
pumps were started. The wind con-
tinued to increase until it reached a
velocity of rs miles an hour and the
seas were breaking over the steamer.
2tate rooms were flooded and the cap
tain says his room was swept clear
of everything.
One of the pumps became clogged
and it was necessary to stop the en-
gines in order to clear it. When the
pump was finally cleared there was
four feet of water in the engine room.
It took three hours after the water was
pumped out to get up head of steam
sufficient to move the engines.

Phoenix, Ariz-Gov. Cox's presiden'
tial campaign train was wrecked IL
miles north of here, while en- route
to Prescott, Ariz The governor and
his party were severely shaken when
an engine and four cars OF the special
train were ditched, but all escaped
serious injury. The most seriously
hurt was Charles A. Nichols, engineer,
of Prescott, whose leg was broken
when he jumped from his cab as his
engine toppled over.
Spreading rails were assigned by
railroad men as the cause Of the
wreck, which compelled the governor
and his party to return here and can
eel his address at Prescott. His flu
ture itinerary also was upset,
The accident occurred a half mile
out of Peoria, a village on the Sante
Fe railroad, After delivering several
speeches his train, consisting of six
cars and drawn by two heavy engines,
needed for the upgrade to Prescott
left here. About half hour later,
while running at speed estimated at
between 35 and 40 miles an hour, the
train Jared suddenly, and the careen.
ing Of cars told passengers the story.
The four forward cars were ditched,
the governors private car at the rear
and the adjoining compartment car OF
newspaper men, except for its forward
truck, remained on the rails.
A baggage coach jumped the tracks
about 10 feet and turned over on its
side Two passenger coaches and an
other compartment car behind also
slipped 10 feet from the track and
partly toppled over.
All the passengers on all cars were
thrown topsy-turvy. Some suffered
bruises and cuts from flying glass.
Gov Cox was in the dining room Of
his private car when the crash oc.
Cured. He was shaken up, but rushed
out to assist the injured, and, this &C
complished, coolly smoked pipe while
waiting for a wrecking train to arrive
and take them back to Phoenix.
