Recognizing, however, that a Tarmer with bis living to mnlec meantime, cannot aHbrd to wait for an orchard to come into bearing, it was planned to plant crops for ouick re turns between the tree-rows, thus putting the worK on a feasible basis from the small farm er's point of view. In order to economize ground the irrigating borders were so placed as to coincide with tho rows or palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasted. The tract was divided by the bonders into minis, lor me most pari onc-uaii an acre In size. Irrigating water from the Colorado Valley I & I. Canal was obtained in the cus tomary manner, and K. L.

To meet these and other heavy items or expense in connection with t he establish ment of a farm in this region, intensive crops of a more remunerative character than those now in vogue, arc essential. It was partly, tnereiore, as an object lesson bearing upon these financial asject of the general situa tion, that this cultural work was planned. i:ecj,axjltio?? ok Tirn ground.

This crop at S3 00 to 830.00 a ton, loose, which has been the price this season, represents a cash return of not less than $l'-:0.00 for the crop; but this hay was used to feed h- team employed on the place, proving to l? more than sufficient for that, purpose, since a stack of about three tons re mains at the end of the season.

Boards Unmarked Grave Tucsan Citizen ( Keeping a faithful vigil over a little unmarked grave in the. city cemetery, a clog one of the lit tle yellow fellows that are re ferred to as just "plain dorV-7 almost famished from lack of food and water, was discovered in the old city cemetery by Mrs. Julius Milton, who lives in the Rincon apartments. .Noting the pitiful condition of the little canine, Mrs. Milton eng deavored to coax him to her home so that she might give him so'me food. The faithful little watcher wagged his tail to show his ap preciation of the invitation, btit declined absolutely to follow. Struck by the faithfulness of the dog, Mrs. Milton proceeded to her home, where she secured some food and water for the ca nine. The doe, which- was. al most starved, ate ravenously. It declined, however, to follow Mrs. Milton to her home, even after it had been fed. Repeated efforts on the part of others who have visited the cem etery within the past few days to et the canine to leave its vigil have been 'unavailing. It bat? remained as a steady senti nel beside the grave. The dog whines appealmgly when persons approach and be gins to dig at the little grave. It never ventures more than a feet from the grave. Finding that the little dog is a faithful sentinel, Mrs. Milton and others each afternoon take k the little gravefoodand water for the faithful animal. The lit tle fellow is always demonstra tive and appreciative of the kind ness, but declines steadfastly to leave the little unknown grave. Notice to Creditors. Estate of I'lmraa J. Norton, deceased.

The work already accomplished by the first camp, located near the Benson lumber mil, makes an especially good showing. Although it is less than two weeks ago since the graders commenced work, practically a mile of the right of way has been graded to the official lines. The graded strip is 85 feet wide and,. stretches from South Twenty first, at the Benson mill, to South Twenty-seventh street, where a concrete culvert is to be built m the canyon to carry off Hood waters during the rainy season. This is the point also where the old grading1 work of the Fraser company begins, extend ing to a.poiiItaboat.Qppjys1tethe brewery. This stretch, which was completed over a year ago, along with the work already ac complished by Sherer & Co., makes about two miles of grad ed right of way through the city, with only two small breaks where the grading is not down to offi cial lines. One of these is about oQby 100 feet, where it crosses South Twenty-fourth street. A gang plow drawn by eight houses, aud a half dozen Fresno scrapers will have this leveled off in another day. Tbe cut along here is from two to three feet deep; and the dirt is being leveled ' on either side of the graded portion. The other break is about a block in length from South Twenty-sixth street to South Twenty-fifth, Fresno scrapers are also being used at this point, the dirt being used to till in the canyon to the canyon to the place where the culvert will be constructed at South Twenty-seventh street. Although good progress has been made since the beginning of work two weeks ago, the op erations from now on will be conducted on a mucu more ex tensive scale. Dump cars drawn by a dinky steam engine will be placed in operation this morn ing. ii narrow-gauge railway track has been laid from a point opposite the Benson mill to about the center of the Hartupee tract, which is low-tide land. The track over this low land is con structed oua temporary trestle built to about the level of the ofilcial grade. Two full blocks opposite the Benson mill are to be leveled off to the level of the adjoining streets, meaning acnt of from two to five feet. This dirt will be hauled by the small ears and dumped on the' Hartu pee tract flats. The "fill across this land will bo . twenty feet wide, -The cars will be filled by the aid of scrapers, which will dump the dirt through an over head trap. Tho trap, cars, eng gine and track have all been placed in working order, ready to begin operations this morn ing. Operations have also been.go-' ing on at a similar pace at the 'otbtr two camps, one ot which ," - - .- 8 is located near the brewery and the other in Chula Vista. In Chula Vista all preparations for the operation of' the - big steam shovel, which arrived about u week ago from Sherer & Co. 'a headquarters in Los Angeles, hitve been completed and the big machine will be placed in opera tion this morning. The shovel will eat its way easterly through the high level beginning at the edge of the flat, The dirt will be loaded" into dump cars which willbe drawn by dinky engines over a narrow gauge . track on a temporary trestle like the one over the Hartupee tracvr The fill across this flat from Chula Vista to Twenty-fourth street, National City, is over a mile in-length. His Last Colic - There was a poor old carter whose sole means of livelihood was an old white horse that was periodically troubled with colic. On these occasions a neighbor ing veterinary attended to the needs of the suffering animal, and the frequency of'these spoils and their f.orttiuate endings caus ed ihffpw.nerHir-look upon them with unconcern! But. one night the old horse made a few desperate kicks and breathed his last. "Well," said the doctor, "old Jim will work for you no more." "Is he dead?" exclaimed the carter. "That's odd. He's .had the colic twenty times already, but he's neycr done this before.'' Trouble fYlakers Ousted.

There is only one way to cure deaf ness and that is by constitutional rem edies. Dcatness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucaoas lin ing cf tho Eotachian Tube. When thi tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and whj2& it is entirely closed, deafness is tho result, and unless the inflmatiou can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will br destroyed forecr. Nine eases out of ten are caused by cat?rrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucuou3 surfaces.
