Worthless Town Booming.


The systematic advertising of American cities
has come 10 be an art. Western cities are not
the only municipal corporations that cultivate
this art, nor are the cities of the Eastern States
alone in aping the West. Even in staid old
Canada, with all her British preiudices, some
OF the towns through printers ink are reaching
out to the people who contemplate change OF
base and insisting that Canada towns, reciproc-
ity reciprocity ofer the best facilities for
new base and for future wealth. In the current
North American Reuiew are thirty-three pages de-
voted to the artistic booming of cities and es-
pecially blessed territory situated in the various
parts of the United States and Canada. OF
course such cities as Minneapolis, Mimi. Seattle
and Snohomish are expected to be among the
first TO appear on pages where towns are
doomed; but who ever heard of Sudbury, the
"Nickel City" of Ontario, or Port Arthur, OF the
same Canadian state? Who would ever think
OF going off to Penobscot Bay, Maine, if hunting
for a new place in which to pitch tent? Sud
bury and Port Arthur and Penobscot Bay all
give wonderful descriptions on the pages OF the
Review of their particular garden spot. Com
pared to them, according to their representa-
ton, Eden and Elysium were veritable jungles
and quagmires. Even Richmond, Va, reaches
out for settler or two through the medium of
q booming advertisement. Conspicuous for
their absence are San Diego, Los Angeles,
Wichita, Kansas City and our own Findlay.
The presumption is they have grown SO great
and waxed SO fat that they no longer need boom
ing.

The trench system for Potatoes.

The gist of the experiments in growing
potatoes during the past four or five years
is that the trench system and the use of
mulch and complete fertilizers will gen.
orally give the best average results No
crop has needed trial and experiment so
much as the potato, for the old books
upon the culture of this crop have ap-
peared so rounded and complete that many
thought that the highest perfection posi-
bic has been reached. There was nothing
further TO discover in this line. and
farmers must henceforth simply follow the
rules laid down in the manuals and they
would harvest good crop of potatoes
Such a sentiment is 8 false one for any
crop, for perfection in gardening can never
be reached. Potatoes especially can be
improved upon.
The sum and substance of the new
potato culture, as it may be termed. is
that the tuber should be planted in
trenches, with manure, and then level
culture should be given. A great many
still refuse TO adopt this practice and do
not believe that il is an improvement over
titled to their opinion and faith in their
own work; but certainly it does seem that
the trench system has some great ad-
vantages over the old methods, such as
conserving the moisture. pulverizing the
soil to greater depth and applying the
manure just where the potatoes can utilize
it best
The trench should be made with spade
or by blowing both ways with an ordinary
pillow, throwing an open or dead furrow.
The trench should be moderately deep, so
that the soil will be pulverized down TO
quite depth, and the bottom Of it should

SPOKANE go, PORTLAND o.
A Game Replete With Errors, Poor
Pitching and Hard Batting.

SPOKANE, July 23.-[special. l-Twenty-f four
hits, with a total of thirty bases. That was Spo-
kane's batting record today, and one need not
look further for the cause of Portland's over
whelming defeat. Darby who had been some
what of puzzle in Sundays game, was in the
box for the visitors, and the frequent way he
was slugged must have forced his spirits
through his shoes. Not an inning passed with
out Spokane getting from one to six hits from
his delivery, aud only in three innings did the
"homers" fail TO score They batted viciousiy
and seemingly when and where they elected.
Even at the ninth, when the score was 10 TO 9,
there was no let up and no mercy, and
another fusilsde of four singles and two dou-
bles followed, which brought down FIVE runs.
The Spokanes had chance to fatten their aver
ages and they tarried long at the feast. Stencil
put four singles AMI double on his plate be-
fore passing il to the official record keeper; Pol
hemus, three singles and double; Turner, two
singles, double and triple, klopf, three sim
giles and triple; Hayes, two singles, and Null
ton and Borchers single each.
Portland sent up batting rocket In the fourth
inning, but il came down never to fly again. Up
to that inning Glenalyin and his men had found
Borchets tor hut one measly single. At this
point the Spokane pitcher was affected by
the intense heat, and it was with
difficulty that he finished the inning
While thus weakened he was threshed for two
home runs, two doubles and a single. When
the inning closed he was forced TO retire and
Conover succeeded him. Portland couldn't keep
up such batting streak, aud the game from
here until the end one-sided listless,
schoolboy affair. In the seventh the Spokaues
got q run by reason of Klopfs hurt head. Gus
had quite lead of at second, and Darby threw
10 catch him. The ball was thrown low and
as the runner dove for the bag tho
ball hit him resounding whack on the head
Darby must have had an English on the bali. as
IL caromed from Gus head across the right field
and beyond the foul line, fully two hundred
feet from the second base. Gus was dazed, but
his legs were feet, and before the ball was
| felded to Graf he had dashed across the rubber
| with tally. The score:

be at least ten inches wide and in this the
seed potatoes should be planted one foot
apart. Two inches or more of soil should
then be covered over them, and the mulch
scattered evenly over the top of this soil.
Over this the fertilizer, at the rate of 800
pounds to the acre, should be scat
tered. The complete potato fertilizer an
swers the best for this purpose. After
this is attended to carefully the trench
should be filled up lightly until it is even
with the other soil, and the level cultiva-
ton should be given. In times of drouth
this system makes the potatoes almost
proof against dryness and heat. The
trench and mulch retains the moisture so
long that the plants can survive very
long and severe drouths.
