EXPERIMENTAL FARMS .

Prof Sinnders Says That the Largest Variety

of Fruits In the World Is GrowInc at Agasslz .

Prof . Saunders , director of Dominion ex ¬

perimental farms , arrived In town on Sun ¬

day for a short visit, returning to the Main ¬

land this morning . He lIon his annualtrip of inspection and came rather earlierthan usual , this year, so that he might at-tend the Agasiizconvention . The Northweabcrops he found to be remarkably fine ,' owingto the favorable weather and the abundantrainfall . Prof . Saunders visited the Deltaafter the convention , and found the cropsthere very fine , especially oats and hay .

Ooe field of oats he saw there, he considersto be the fioest he ever came across . Thenew creamery at the Delta came In-

fer Its share of attention and Prof. Sann-den believes it will be a success . At theExperimental farm , there are now 130 acresunder cultivation and for six years ' workthis makes a remarkable showing . Thefarm now contains the largest variety offruit of any place In the world , there beingno lois than 1,800 varieties growing there .The plan has been rystematloally carriedout of testing the different kinds of fruitmost suited to the country , and the wonder .ful display was a surprise to the fruit grow .ere visiting Agaselz There are besides 50acres in fruit , 700 trees planted on thebench lands on the mountains , starting at anelevation of 150 feet above the valley andbeing at the highest 1,500 feet above

lea level . The trees on the mountain sidesseemed even more vigorous than those in thevalley , Indicating that the hills were emin ¬

ently suitable for fruit growing and giving aprofitable solution cf how to utilize the hillysections of the province , which are not suit ¬

able for agriculture . Prof. Sandersg-

Itis now reported on good authority thatthese'skins were sent by the officers of theRnssian warship which left Robins islandlast September and it is presumed that theenterprise was the private speculation ofthose who were sent to protect the seals .The Russian were encamped on the islandfor four or five month * , and as is customary ,no one was allowed to land on the islandduring their stay there . It Iis presumedthat the crew employed their time in club .bing these seals . The skins were sold atLampson's here last February .

SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. 5-There Is anotherstory about Durrant In circulation on thesouth side that the police have not yet beenable to trace . It is said that a year agoDnrrant was very near to jail on a veryserious charge. The alleged victim in thiscase was a young girl not yet 11 years old .She went to church with the young man ,according to the report , and on herreturn to her home told lachastory of what she had suffered athis hands that the child '. parent proposedhaving him arrested for felony . The horrorof making the child '* misfortune public ,

however , and the fear that the stigma wouldremain with her through life , was so greatthat in the end they determined to let theman go unpunished rather than to injuretheir daughter , as thry thought the other

peopleknewintimate friend or two . When Dnrrant wasarrested for the Emanuel church murders ,one of the friends who knew the story wentto the child '. parents and urged them toallow the matter to be exposed , but unsuc ¬

cessfully . Durrant'a attorneys say the storyIs a fake. .
