l beg to call your attention to them and
to ask you to present them to the irri.
cation convention about tn as
semble at Lincoln.
l enclose you herewith q copy OF the
division Of agricultural soils and also q
tabulated statement Of the analysis, ac-
companied by specimens Of the different
ingredients contained in the samples.
arranged SO as To make an interesting
object lesson Of the result.
Experience has shown that this soil is
very refractory and very difficult to inn
prove. In dry seasons it produces all
most nothing. 1t has also been ascer-
tanned by experience that this soil is
greatly benefited By subsoil,pg and
thorough cultivation. The question to
be answered by the analysis was, there
for: Does the svbsoil contain ANYTHING
which enrlches the surface soil when it Is
brought up, or is the improvement re-
sultlng from subsolllng any cultivation
due entirely to the loosenlng OF the soil?
The analysis shows that the latter is
the true explanation.
A chemical analysis Of the samples Is
being made and will be reported to you
later. butsuticlent has been donet to show
that there has been no considerable
amount Of lime or other chemical SUBJ
stance IN the subsoil to explain the fav-
orable results of subsoiling. These fav-
orable results must: therefore, be wholly
due to the loosening and opening up Of
an otherwise impervious soil.
The tables and accompanying speci-
mems will prove to the eye that this soil
and subsoil are both composed almost
wholly of very fine sand, silt and clay.
There is also a large amount of organic
matter containing considerable nitrogen.
Cultivated in the ordinary manne q
soil OF this character remains imper-
vious to water and air, and therefore
very subject to drouth, and although it
contains many elements OF fertility,
these cannot become readily available.
Why Not Subsol!?
The practical suggestion which I wish
to submit to our friends is: Why not
subsoil and cultivate more thoroughly?
Instead of digging bitches let US first try
%subsoillng as a means Of catching and
holding the water that nature supplies
us on the spot.
The SUCCESS that Messrs, Younger &
Co. have attained by subsoiling their
land, as now explained by this mechani-
cal analysis, suggests that this is the
possible solution Of the question that
the irrigation convention is called upon
to solve. My proposition therefore, is,
instead Of digging bitches, subsoil and
cultivate thoroughly.
I remain, with warm personal regards
and best wishes for the success of the
convention Of irrigationlsts at Lincoln,
very truly yours.

Z, afternoon and evening, with so many

of arranging and putting on just such af-
fairs as this Nearly ten years ago he
created the greatest musical sensation
San Francisco ever had by running a SINH
lar spectacle in the great Mechanics
Pavilion. in that city for several weeks.
He was joined by the marines from several
United States warships, aud by over 100
from the British warship then lying in the
harbor. Aside from the Gilmore Jubilees,
nothing has been put on any stage as popu-
larly sensational as Mr.. Innes' prUduc-

the music have been the highest, aud the
playing OF the band unequaled.

Snug Sum Raised for the Benefit Of
Rousl EriendlV Inn


Snug sum Raised for the Benefit of
Boys Friendly Inn.
Quite snug little sum was raised for the
Mizpah Branch of the Ministering Children's
League by the lawn fete, which was given
by the ladies of West Washington last night
at the home of Major George Hill, No. 3233
NJ street northwest.
The spacious grounds adjoining the house
were beautifully decorated with Chinese
lanterns, which shed soft light over the
assemblage of fashionable folk. Here and
there among the trees and bushes were
placed tables and booths where could be
obtained cool beverages and luscious straw
berries and rich cream. The object which
the young ladies had in view in Instituting
the project was to get the emuch-needed funds
for carrying on the good work of the League
next winter.
During the past season the Boys Friendly
Inn, at No. 1904 6 street northwest, was
maintained under the auspices of this or
ganization and many a little 0utcaSt and
homeless waif was sheltered, fed and given
religious instruction through the instru-
mentality of the MiZpah Branch. Nicely
furnished and attractive rooms were pro-
vided, and coffee, sandwiches, beds and
clothes Were given to deserving children
Mr. E. t. Price is the president of the or
ganization, Mr.. B. v. Darrell, vice presi
dent, and the Friendly Inn was under the
charge of superintendent Woodruff.
The fete was considered great success
and the receipts amounted to considerable
sum, all of which will go to the Inn, as
the use of the grounds and the articles OF
sale were donated. About 500 persons
attended during the evening.
The ice cream booth was in charge ol
Misses Eulah Flynn and Georgia Laub
the cake stand, Misses Maud Mann, Bessie
Haughton, and Olive Lee; candy store, Misses
Louise Laub and Ethel Hoffman; fruit tree
Miss Ethel Lockhart; and the Jacobs well
Misses Nina Laub and Evie Mann.

and Smith slammed out a two-bagger,
but was neatly thrown out at third,
when Bauer hit down TO Boyd. Cross
also singled, but Clingman flied TO Has
samer, performance which he repeated
three times, and Sugden famed out.
Washington got first blood in the third.
Selbach was given his base and Joyce
dropped hit in short left, Selbach taking
third. Hassamer's friends then presented
him with a gorgeous red fan, but Killen
was suspicious and gave him four balls
to go with it
McGuire's long fly to left sent Selbach
in with the first run
The Pirates at once answered this by
Killen's score. He was hit by the pitcher,
went to second on Donovan's out and
scampered home when Stencil put a liner
TO left. Beckley also singled, but Joyce
made great catch of Smiths foul, and
Bierbauer was an easy victim.
The Senators Were very much awake in
the fourth. Crooks opened the proceed
ings by drive over second, Abbey went
out, aid then trouble began for KLINE.
Stocksdale looped one in short center,
scoring Crooks, and Selbach followed
with drop TO left. A base on balls to
Joyce filled the bags, which caused some
unpleasantneSs toward the umpire, con-
cerniug the last ball, which Beckley claimed
should have been the third strike and
which would have put the side out for
one run only.
KICK DID NOT GO.
Heydler was clearly right and he knew
it, and the kick did not go.
Hassamer got a fresh grip on the affec-
tons of the populists by dropping two
bagger at the angle just inside the right
foul line, sending Seibach and Otis home.
MCGUIRE scored Joyce and Hassamer by
safe high ball TO center; Cartwright also
singled, but was forced by Boyd.
Cross gave Joyce a stinger in the last
half, and trotted home ahead OF Sugden
when he dropped the ball over the fence.
Killen was invited to sit in the shade after
this shake-up and Hart was called on for
the third time in four days.
He started Crooks with four balls but Jack
was hit by Abbey's grounder and put out.
Stocksdale sent bounder to center, on
which Abbey reached third and the latter
scored on Selbaea's fly 10 Stencil.
Crouks and Abbey led off in the seventh
by heating out infie1d hits To third base,
but on a double steal Crooks was caught
at third Stocksda1e hit tp Gross, who
tried 10 catch Abbey at third but failed,
and then Otis foolishly got nailed in,trying
for seeond on a short pass, and no runs
came of this promising start.

runs were earnered on HaSsamer's single,

Pittsburg went out of business from the
fourth to the ninth, being cut off by some
exceedingly brilliant fielding by Mcclure,
Joyce, Boyd, Crooks and Selbach, every
inning being marked by some exceptional
bits of work
After the first two men had put up flies
in the ninth, Stencil and Beckley drove
three -baggers into left center, but the
rally was stopped by McGuire's great catch
of Smiths foul

FAIR HEIRS CAN'T AGREE.
Plans Fail For Settling the Estate
without q Trial at LAW

Plans Fail For Settling the Estate
without a Trial at Law.
San Francisco, May 31.-An afternoon
paper prints the statement that several
days ago Reuben H. Lloyd, leading coun-
sci for the contesting heirs of the estate
of the late James G.. Fair, went to New
York to present Herman oelrichs two
propositions for a settlement of the Fair
will contest without trial atlaw.
The first proposition contemplated the
retirement of the four executors, under
the stolen will, upon payment to three of
them 500, 600 aud to Attorney Goodfellow
S250,000. This proposition, it is said,
was rejected by Oelrichs, but the seco%d
suggested by the executors was approved
by Senator Fairs son-i aw.
1t was that all contests he withdrawn
and the executors be allowed to probate
the will, and after one years service
to resign and turn over the estate to the
heirs, the executors compensation to be
fixed by the courts.
Marie Levingston, an executor under
the second will, objected to any settle
ment, and the negotiations were there
upon terminated.
