ARTIFICIAL RAINFALL

The frequent droughts that have
proved so disastrous to successful
farming and general business interests
have occasioned the most serious
alarm. Year after year hope deferred
has made the heart OF the residents OF
the "Grelt American desert" sick.
1t has happened too frequently that
seed sown has failed to bring forth
harvest. Various expedients have
been tried, all heretofore unsuccessful,
and the planter has never felt any Sc
curity of reaping what was sown.
There is strip of territory extending
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Brit
ish provinces that is as fair as the
tabled vale of Cashmere and would be
as rich were there sufficient moisture.
At best such artificial means as irriga-
| tion can only furnish sufficient water
to supply a small adjacent territory.
A recognition of the difficulties at
tending this means of supplying the
necessary nourishment has led to ex-
periments with other artificial means
Theories innumerable have been
advanced, such as the planting OF
trees, the breaking of sod, etc. Ex

A PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE

That Fairhaven has an intelligent,
propressiye and patriotic class of citi-
zens few, if any, will deny. In hun
dreds of ways have they exemplhed
their loyalty to their adopted city, and
this holds good not only of those who
have stood in the fore front, where
the battle has been thickest, but also
of these who have been instrumental
in making the city pleasant place,
socially, in which to live, and who
have ever evinced praiseworthy zeal
in their efforts on behalf of Fair
haven. While the men are loyal and
united, the same spirit actuates the
women, who, with infinitely more tact
and patriotism, never miss an oppor-
tunity to show their faith and deyo-
tion to the common cause.
| Silurianism has never reigned in this
city. While other meritorious towns
have been "cribbed, cabined and con-
fined" their growth checked and pro-
gress delayed, we have forged steadily
to the front, free from any such incu'
bus. In this we are to be congratu
lated.

The royal baccarat scandal, which

boudoir entirely with her correspondence
since her coming out. She has covered the
walls with ordinary epistles containing in

dado, where the love letters are arranged in
chronological order, those conveying an
