| Few Contests, and Those in Df.tr,ct,

FROM present Indications there will be n
general dearth OF factional Republican con-
rests In New York city on primary day this
year, September 10. It is a notable fact
that the few contests already outlined ,rs

and Twenty-second. In no close or nm

seventh. or Thirty FIRST Districts, all seven
now represented by Republican members Of
Assemblies there any prospect OF a con-
test. The Republican organization in these
districts Is generally harmonious, and the
policy of the state government has been
no less positive in furtherance Of Repub-
lican harmony hereabouts than the policy
Of the federal administration.
In the Twentieth Assembly District In
which the last Republican to be elected to
an ONCE. Bernard Biglin. was sent to the
Assembly twenty years ago, there are three
candidates for Republican leadership. an
irksome and empty honor for a leader Sc
riously committed to the Republican
cause. The district, besides having a
large Tammany Hall majority is greatly In
huenced by patronage. The former leader
J. L. Stewart. was State Superintendent
or Gas Meters during tho administration OF
Gov Black, to whose political fortunes he
adhered at Saratoga. The local organiza-
tlon Republicans, who accept the leader
ship Of former Congressman Quigg, are for
City Marshal Lush. There is a small faction
OF Republicans In the district most numer-
Gus In the western portion OF It, who are
for Col. Goddard. who Is pledged to op-
pose any Tammany alliance.
In the Twenty-ninth District Alexander
T. Mason. now q Civil Service Commission
Or by appointment Of Mayor Van Wyck, is
slated by the Republican organization,
whose confidence he enjoys, to succeed
Frank Buckley, the present leader. as Ho-
man. II slated to succeed Mr.. Bulkley as
member OF Assembly: Mr. Buckley owed
his temporary prominence AZ q Republican
leader to tho Joint support Of Chauncey NJ
Depew and to Edward LauterbAch. Mr..
Dspew has this year given UP bis partici-
patton in the management OF the district
affairs. and Mr.. Lauterbach IL the political
sponsor of Mr.. Mason. There Is some talk
Of Assemblyman Buckley running indie
pendenty In the district this year.
In the Twenty second District tho Re-
publican local contest Is the old one be-
tween Charles X. Lexow. the organization

Mr.. Morris on Building up the Soil.
Mr.. William Norris writes as follows
in the Farmers Voice:
'Humus without electricity would
be as barren of results as man with
out intelligence. There is an exact
correspondence between brains and
humus; intelligence and electric
Each must be present and do it's ap-
pointed work where upbuilding forces
are operating, either in improving the
physical condition of man, animal, in
sect, vegetable or the soil.
''This series of papers is intended
to show in plain words and terms,
first: broader and more comprehen-
sive view than is generally accepted
of the phenomena we call Life; Sec
ond, what humus is; the difference
between humus and manure; the rela-
ton of humus to plant and soil growth,
and how it fulflls it's functions; third,

electricity is. So far science has fall
ed to give a satisfactory definition or
this wonderful substance.
F'Humus and electricity would be
utterly barren of results without
first cause behind them; IL quality
that they can serve. The work OF
humus and electricity is but to serve
a power that through them feeds man
kind and keeps the planetary system
in order. What we see and know are
but results of this trinity.
'"The first cause is God. All life
first comes from Him. We talk OF
human life, animal life, insect life and
vegetable life as though they were dis
tinct and separate kinds of life. This
is a mistake. Life itself is spiritual.
Man alone has the quality immortal.
What differentiates man from the an
imal is not that man thinks and rea-
SONS and remembers-undOubt
many animals can do all this; but that
man has the ability to think and rea-
son about spiritual things and immor-
tally.
"Without proper comprehension Of
this question of life all conclusions
and all reasonings are faulty and mis-
leading.
eve do not mean that soil has life
or is live thing, but that soil is re-
ceptacle in which what we call life
abides, and through which the myriads
of the lowest forms of life ultimate

ical development, but primarily to de-
velop his interior quality, or soul. A
great writer has said: "The soul is
form and doth the body make"
eve shall endeavor to follow only
those forms Of life which affect the
soil. There is LIZ illustration that
would show it. The mind cannot COM
prehend the countless myriads of the
/ lower forms of life which have develop
ed, lived their cycle, fulfilled their
work; or of the bodies in which they
had a distinct existence and which
have passed through the process of
decay that other higher forms might
their cycle, that they, in turn, J ~
give up life, body or shell-house for
other and still higher types to take up;
and so on and on, up to the grain of
wheat or corn. AS the microscope in
creases in power we find the hOrdes of
minute life increase. Infinity alone
could number them. We can trace
them through various stages of de-
velopment up to the plants.
we now come to the point up to
which we have been trying to lead.
If true that poor soil has a stinted
quantity of the forms of organic life
that upbuilds the soil, and that rich
soil has an abundance of them, what
we want to know is how to bring
about conditions that will fill this dead
soil with life.
''To understand the part each
of this trinity, Life, Humus and
Electricity, plays in affairs Of
farm life would be to have
open access to the storehouse Of farm
knowledge. We hope to show what it
has been given us to know. We have
grown white haired in searching for
the deeper, more interior truths about
farming. These papers are to be seed

is giving good, helpful, suggestive
thoughts. Searching for the facts
and truths to confirm or reject what
you will find in these papers is stirring
the soil of the mind. Such investiga-
ton begets a love for the truth and
thirst for knowledge and a zeal to at
tain both. A mind thus cultivated and
enlightened bears in due time the fruit
of such efforts which is wisdom in the
shape of solid facts, proven to be such.
We must first build up the mind be-
fore we can build the soil. A run
down man and a rundown farm each
represent the same physical cOndi
tons, which are based upon overwork
and improper nutrition. Verify, "HOW
like men acres are!"
'In the field, land that has had all
til" vegetable matter destroyed has no
pure air and therefore no way to
throw off the foul gases that are due
to sitting conditions, and the soil is
poisoned.
''To bring man or field back to nor
NAL conditions exactly the same laws
must be observed: rest and nOurishing

Orange Groves in Polk County.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
The opinion that the orange groves
were totally destroyed by the last cold
spell seems to be so general that l
have been at a considerable trouble
and expense to try and correct such
impression, so far at least as this POLK
county is interested, as should AID good
citizens thereof. For such purpose I
have since the cold, photographed sew
eral groves in this, the Auburndale
lake region, grouped them together
and made photograph of such
group, copy of which | send you by
this mail, to show you in a convincing
way that the orange and grape fruit
trees of this section are not injured.
We will have large crop of fruit
this season.
If you will kindly mention the above
facts in your widely circulated paper
you will help to correct very wrong
impression and give your readers some
correct and possibly valuable informa-
ton.
Very respectfully,
G. Irving Page.
Auburndale, Fla March 81.

and thirty-nine seconds. The Columbia
defeated the challenger in actual time
by six minutes and sixteen seconds. With
the allowance of sixteen seconds which
she received from the Shamrock her cor
rected time was six minutes and thirty
four seconds.
The Yankee craft showed her superb
ority IN every point Of the game, and her
active and hardy Deer isle sailornleil
were more than a match in seamanship
for the nimb!e Britons of the Shamrock.
In the run to the outer mark the Colum-
bia was one minute and eighteen seconds
better than Sir Thomas ship. This
seemed to be the Shamrock's best point
of suiling. In the weather work the Co.
lumbia defeated her rival by five minutes
actual time.
Sir Thomas Upton will challenge again
for the Americas cup. He acknowledge
ed that the Columbia was tie better boat
long before the race was finished. He
said that she had beaten the Shamrock
in weather just suited to his yacht, and
said he was pleased that there had been
a good breeze for the last contest, be-
cause it p%rec,uded the possibility of any
Excuse for the Shamrock. He paid
graceful compliments to the Columbia,

that he had received the best and fairest

called for Three British cheers for her.
For the eleventh time the attempt of
a foreigner to wrest from America that
yachting supremacy OF the world has
failed. The trophy won by the old
schooner America forty-eight years ago
is still ours, a monument TO the superb
GRITTY of American seamanship and Amer
lean naval architecture and a standing
challenge to the yachtsmen of all nations.
The intrinsic value of the reward
which hundreds of thousands of dollars
were expended to secure is small-simply

The lo~ng-expected modus vivendi rela-

ton went into effect Friday. This re-
suit was brought about through the direct
negotiation of Secretary of State Hay
and Mr.. Tower. the British charge, after
several failures in the past through COM

Department is confident that it has CON
served every American interest in the
arrangement, without unjustly treating
Canada.
The divisional line on the west pass by
which the Dalton trail is reached is plac-
ed twenty-five and o~ne-fourth miles
above Pyramid harbor. which is regarded
under the treaty as tidewater mark, so
the Canadians are not allowed to reach
any point III the Lynn canal. Moreover,
there is no permission giyer for a free
port, or even for the transfer across
American territory Of Canadian goods,
except miners belongings. These mat
tiers may figure later ON when it comes to

Lumber Camps short Of Men.

Lumbermen who have started logging
operations say that they are already hav-
ing trouble to get the men needed. Many
contracts have been made for heavy cut
tings. There are many more yet to be
made and it is hoped that the cut in
Douglas County will be bigger than ever
before. Teams are scarce as well as
men. The lowest wage offered at present
is $50 per month. That is for the swamp
ers, who two years ago were getting $l6
per month. The outlook seems to be that
these wages will advance rather than de-
crease.

fire communicated to adjoining buildings,
and the local fire department was unable
