park, and contains a monument 10 Robert Louis Stevenson. It was here that the Chinese had their camp after the earthquake and 1t was here that they planned their new Chinatown. and built it with all the color and uniqueness of the old one. It lies on the slope of hill, for it seems that all San Francisco is built on a hill or hillside and one is pulled up these hills by cable cars.
 Those who love the curious blend ing of the east and west will find San Francisco's Chinatown a place of en- chantment and hundreds of women from the east spend days shopping in the famous bazaars- There is fine joss house. the exterior of which shows little ornament. but on climbing to the third story one finds an altar with marvellous carvings.
 Night is the time to see the town" at it's best for then it is illuminated with lanterns and electric signs The Chinese in their native costume crowd the streets and from a balcony will come the strange monotonous squeak | ing of a Chinese violin. while the high sing song voices of the children may i be heard in the distance. The baZaars are well lighted and great quantities
 of the jade. so popular at present. is on sale. Chinese candy, which is
 really very good. and all sorts of beau I tiful silks are shown. Of course,
 there is a theatre where the plays are
 run for days and where articles of
 furniture serve as scenery. Only men
 do the acting and some impersoUate
 females by using a high falsetto voice
 which is very amusing to the eastern
 visitor.

It seems to be a strange blend ing of the ancient and the mod ern, for the Chinaman who uses the telephone will continue to eat with chop sticks. go before his joss and make presents 5 of food. His queue is as sacred to him as it was to his forefathers. There are many short trips to be made where the visitor may see semi t tropical fruit grown and prepared for , the market. great universities which 5 turn out hundreds of students each year and high mountains with their big trees where excellent views of the City and the Pacific Ocean may be obtained.

Pedigreed Fruits

Where fruit trees are concerned, the question is one of "budwood." Under the up-to-date system used in Cali fornia, the budwood required for dis tribution among fruit-growers is de- rived from certain trees which have performance records" They are trees which have been under individ ual observation for a number of suc- cessive years careful note being made of the quality as well as quantity Of their output. An orange tree, for ex- ample, to be approved as a source of budwood, must have proved its abil- ity to be a high-grade and plenteous producer season after season, without falling off.
 Fruit Must Be Perfect
 The trees in a new-pattern orchard are not allowed to grow at will. All of them are trimmed to the same height and size, and pruned to a shape suitable for easy picking. Even the leaves are picked off here and there, so that all sides of each pear or peach may be touched by the sun. An orchard of this pattern is, obviously, much easier to doctor with insecti- cides and fungicides, which are ap- piled at regular intervals with the help or spraying apparatus carried, on 1 wheels between the rows of trees. The whole management of the orchard is thoroughly scientific. No bough is allowed to bear too heavy a burden. Nature can furnish through a given branch only certain quan- tity of food. which, for best results, must not be shared by too many con- sumers. Accordingly, all excess fruits are picked before they have had time to develop, and the few that are left 1 obtain perfect development and su- perior flavor. It is no unusual thing | to throw away two-thirdS of a pos sible crop in order that the remaining

ana Canal. A considerable amount was spent in municipal Improvements and a civic center was set apart. The buildings face on a public square bounded by McAllister, Larllin, Polk and Grove streets and include the splendid City Hall, a Library and the Municipal Auditorium where the con- vention will be held. The amount of $S,S00,000 was voted and bonds were issued to create perhaps what are the noblest public buildings in America. They were completed at a cost of more than sixteen millions. The two blocks between Polk and Iarkin streets rum ming from Grove to McAllister form
 a beautiful plaza ornamented with
 shrubbery such as only California can
 grow. About this plaza are grouped
 the Municipal buildings, the Audi
 torium having an excellent location
 close by the City Hall, which is
 modelled after the capital at Wash ington with a dome about twelve feet higher than the structure in the Cap itol City. The Municipal Auditorium was built by the Panama Pacific Ex- position and alone cost $1,270,000. Every effort was made to make this both beautiful and useful. The main auditorium Will seat ten thousand peo- ! pie. The light of the room, which
 measures 250 feet across comes from
 the ceiling. The main hall is surround | ed by spacious corridors, there being | forty-one exits on the level and twelve
 wide staircases from the gallery.
 There is a splendid pipe organ, the
 use of which will be a feature of the
 convention. large reception rooms, concert and banquet halls, in fact, ev-

Valley, the growers in Arizona, by se- 1ecting from season to season the best plants for seed-production, have pro duced a cotton that is far and away the best in the world. The proof is the price it brings, which is ? to 3 cents a pound higher than that of the finest grades from Africa, Ceylon, and the South Seas. Its strength and long fiber makes it specially suitable for the manufacture of automobile tires.
 At Las Cruces, in the Rio Grande Valley, a group of farmers has organ ized for the production of cabbages. No ordinary cabbages, be it under stood. The region is specially adapted for the production of this vegetable, and the only cabbages grown will be of a newkind. introduced from China, which is far superior to any hitherto known in this country.
 An Onion Growing Genius
 Half a dozen years ago a long legged Missouri9n turned up in the Uncompahgre Valley, in Colorado, and took what he called a Hook around g He bought, at what was thought a fancy price, twenty acres of an old plantation. Onions seemed to be a ,, special fad with him. and greatly were the nelShbor1ng farmers amused to see him day after day examining the plants. He studied every step in their growth, and would even examine them with a magnifying glass.
 Three years ago he grew a five-acre field of onions, which, the neighbors 1 confessed, were the most remarkable | they had ever seen. It turned out that they were grown for seed. whicE
 he sold so proftably that his net gair | was $500 per acre! The seed was
 worth that price because of the su. periority of the onions; there were
 none like them to be found anywhere i else.

one-third may be of highest quality.
 The fruit-growing industry has had a remarkable development within the last few years, and has adopted meth cd not only highly ingenious but often picturesque. Thus, for instance, in some of the irrigated valleys of the West, peaches and apples (to expedite their shipment to market), are picked and packed by electric light at night, wires with incandescent bulbs strung along them being carried through the orchards and moved from place to place at intervals, to furnish illumina- tion wherever it may be wanted by the workers.
 Smoke Clouds For Orchards
 Frost may cause great loss. Hence provision must be made for warming the orchard in an emergency. One method of accomplishing this is by distributing through it large number of smoke pots." half-flled with crude

Tropical Agriculture Promises Great Results In Warm Region of the Southwest - Growing Egyptian Cot ton Figs and Dates = Picking Fruit By Electric
 Light-Waterless Potatoes, Giant Cabbages.
BY ROBERT TIGHE

~ DON, for the first time, we are to N have real tropical agriculture in Sthe United States. We have just one place suitable for the purpose, and all it needs is water. This neces- sity will be supplied by pumping It from a river.
 The town of Yuma, on the Colorado River, stands at the foot of vertical cliff so feet high. Climb up, and you find yourself on a vast flat table of land, which is called the Yuma Mesa. It is the only frostless region in this country.
 Horticultural experts say that the mesa is incomparably well adapted for the growing of oranges, lemons, Times, grapefruit, figs, dates and a great variety of tropical and seni-tropical fruits which up to now have not been produced within the limits of the United States. The government Plant Bureau is at present engaged in set ting out 160 acres of demonstration orchards on the mesa, to illustrate its possibilities.
 Wealth In A Desert
 South of Yuma lies the delta of the American Nile. comparable in fertility to the river plains of the great Egyp- tian mother of waters. It belongs to Mexico lowing to an unfortunate mis- take ill drawing the boundary Lne) but is being developed by enterpris- ing Americans. At no distant day it will produce immense quantities of dates superior varieties of which, from Arabia and PsSsia. have already been introduced there.
 It is a region destined to produce great crops of long-staple Egyptian cotton-a branch of agricultural in- dustry which within the last few years has attained extraordinary develop meut in nearby Arizona. Starting with few seeds fetched from the Nile

tiaI Convention.


 ~ OR the first time in history one
 z of the great political parties is to
 hold it's convention on the Pacific Coast. This year the Democratic Party has outdone the previous record of going to Denver by selecting San Francisco as the city iii which the can didate for President of that party will be nominated.
 Metropolis Of The Pacific Coast
 San Francisco is the metropolis of the Pacific Coast and the largest city of the region west of the Missouri River and a natural harbor-the ter minous of the steamships to the Far East. Its land area is a little more than 46 square miles, and like Rome, it seems to be built on seven hills. Twin Peaks, with Mount Sutro and Mount Davidson rise more than 300 feet above the sea level. Russian Hill, Mob Hill and Telegraph Hill are the best known of the many hills. Mob Hill, where Van Ness avenue is To- cated, was once the home of the "nobs" among them Mark Hopkins, Leland Stanford, James c. Flood, and Claud Spreckels of the sugar fame Russian Hill was also an aristocratic settlement before the earthquake but is now part of the Latin quarter The streets of the city are broad and the avenues of the downtown districts are marked at each corner by the name in holes at the bottom of the pavement through which an electric light shines. One can soon learn the city and it is easy to get about.
 Market street is the main artery of travel and has plenty of room for auto and wagon traffic, besides four car tracks. It leads directly to the Ferry building, a splendid structure on the
