AMONG all the tributes to the
memory of james Russell, one of
the most fervent in feeling and
expression is that of w. I. Stead,
the editor of that excellent maya
zine, the Review of Reviewers.
He writes from the standpoint of
one who was helped to higher
standards in living by the words
and example of the poet and
scholar, and the words in which
he expresses his gratitude are not
doled out in any meager measure.
He does not hesitate to say that
"neither on the one side of the At
lantic nor on the other is there
a poet left us whose verse is in
stinct with so much inspiration, or
one who has in him so much of
the seer of these latter days. He
was only a lad of fifteen when he
first felt the inspiration of Lowell's
word, and from that time ON until
he reached manhood and thereaf-
ter, he found health, strength and
comfort in his utterances. Mr..
Stead calls Lowell's Interpretation
of Christ's teachings "a real gospel
with grip in it, which is far from
cut and dried dogmas."

TUESDAY will be a great day for
the people of the East. The ques-

both Democrats and Republicans
is, How will the Farmers Alli-

The Alliance is certainly much
weaker than it was one year ago,
and this will go a long way toward
Republican success next Tuesday.

ABOUT NURSERIES.

The census bulletin in regard TO
the nurseries of the United States
gives the total number at 1910,
valued at s41,9Ts,s35 and occupy
ing 172,S06 acres acres of land.
The business engages $52,4 500
Of capital, employs 1861 men and
3279 women, and produces annual
products estimated to be worth in
round numbers 500, 900, 900.
There were found growing in the
United States 95,025.42 acres of
trees, plants, shrubs and vines of
all ages, and figures based upon
the best estimates of the nursery
men make the grand total of plants
and trees 1856, ,S55,77S, of which
51S,016,612 are fruit trees, $685.
603, ,396 grape vines and small
fruits, and the balance evergreens
and deciduous trees, hardy shrubs
and roses. California is credited
with 166 nurseries, occupying II,
-144 acres of land, worth on an av-
erage s290.0S an acre and having
a total valuation of $4,15S, ,S61.5S.
In extent of acreage planted in
nurseries we are surpassed by sew
en-. states, New York coming first
with "a, $40 acres, and in the val
ue of land per acre we are sur
passed by the District of Colum
bia, where the value is $500, and
by the states of Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania and Vermont. 1t
should be noted, however, that the
price of nursery lands has been
found in many cases to be de-
termined more by its proximity to
a city than by the value of their
products, and this is especially the
case in the District of Columbia
and the states where the price is
rated highest The rates of
wages paid for labor in nurseries
In the different states varies consid-
erably. They are highest in Ida
ho, where the ratei is s1.S73 a day
and lowest in South Carolina,
where they are 60 cents a day.
The variation, however, does not
follow sectional lines, as in Flori-
da the average wage is $1.10 a
day, while in Delaware it is 81,
and in Massachusetts,, where the
rate is $1.63, wages are nearer the
Idaho standard than in California,
where they are $1.57 a day. Ow-
ing to the fact that this is the first
time that nurseries have been
made the subject of special census
inquiry there is no way of accu-
rately estimating the recent
growth of the industry. The first
nursery established in America of
which there is any record was that

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for SIC
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre. in subdivisions OF
40, so, 120, 160 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
cent of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the pTin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which TO
pay five equal annual installments, With in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SIC per acre.
end good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other gradec of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and cs-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement wiz prove 10
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
! tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Strengthening Cast Iron.

Some of the most prominent iron
founders are introducing new and SIM
pie practice in order to secure stronger
castings, the method in question consist
ing in placing thin sheets of wrought
iron in the center of the mold previous
to the operation of casting. This method
was first resorted to, it appears, in the
casting of thin plates for the ovens of
cooking stoves, it being found that a
sheet of thin iron in the center of quar-
ter inch oven plate rendered it practi-
cally unbreakable by fire.
This result has led to the process be-
ing now applied to the casting of large
iron pipes, core of sheet iron imparting
additional strength and lessening the
liability to any fracture. AS an evil
dence of the additional strength capable
of being impaired by this means, it is
stated that plate of iron one-fourth of
an inch thick, cast with perforated
sheet Of 27-wire gauge wrought iron in
the center, possessed six times the
strength of similar cast plate with no
core. The quarter inch plate had the
strength of plate one inch thick.-New

The Safe the Kaiser Took with Him.

Those who saw the emperor's luggage
brought ashore at Port Victoria will re-
member the iron safe which formed part
of it. In this safe was the large collec-
ton of jeweled snuff boxes, silver ciga-
rette cases, diamond breastpins, signet
rings, ETC., which the kaiser brought
with him for distribution among the
members of the queens household and
many other officials with whom he was
brought in contact during his visit.
These assorted gifts, which have been
cased up by the emperor during the past
two years literally by the gross, have
now been duly distributed, and have
probably-for such is human nature
caused more heartburning and disap-
pointment than delight.
Large as the stock was, it did not
prove quite large enough, and several
members of the kaiser's suite were en-
gagged for some time at the West End in
buying further assortment of trinkets
to serve as presents from the kaiser.
The German Orders which the latter has
distributed were brought over in sep
arate case, and in a quantity which re.
calls the incident of the Russian baron
in "Ninicha. London Figaro.
