DOUGLAS COUNTY LANDS.

Every day is giving new evidence
that Douglas county land, long looked
upon as not worth the trouble of clear
lug up, Is fertile and yields good re-
turns to all those who take the pains to
clear 1t and cultivate it properly. 1t is
true 1t is not easv To nut II in sha ne for
cultivation, being for the most part I'M
even and more or less covered with
timber, but the best farming districts
i'll this country were once studded with
trees it took years to remove. The
struggle of the pioueers in the depths
oi the forest, it is true, was hard one,
hut they succeeded in hewing out
homes for themselves and their chil
dren. The same process is going on Ill
Douglas county. Land is being taken
mp every day, and it is only matter of
time when every acre will be taken up
and Superior be back ed up by prosp-
erous farming community, and when
we say farming community, we do not
producing community. 1t has been
shown that apples and other fruits can
be successfully raised. Strawberries
and other berries grow to an immense
size, and Will yield large returns to
those who properly attend to them.
Again this is a country where cattle can
be raised cheaply. Fodder is abund
ant, shelter can be cheaply provided,
and there is and always will be an ever
increasin'. market for beef and dairy
products near at hand.
Then there is the mineral wealth of
the county to induce settlers to take up
land within its limits, and about which
too much cannot be said.
Indeed the more we consider the adj
vantagcs offered by Douglas county for
settlement, the more we wonder that
its waste places were not filed up long
ago. But it is not yet too late, and
every effort should be made to secure
the right kind Of settlers, for this city
cannot be truly prosperous until it has
large and thrifty farming community
TO draw upon. The farm is the source
OF true wealth.

Does 1t Pay?

II has often been noticed that some
small Investments pay much better re-
turns than larger ones. When ii man
finds the business for which he is par
ticularly adapted, and hich Is almost
sure to be success in his hands, it is
the business he loves, has knack for
and iust exactly what he should engage
in. We have letter from Il friend who
writes as follows: How is this for
high? Two years ago last March a
couple Of boys on this farm bought two
sheep and now they have eleven head
and $20.l5 in cash. The eleven head
could be sold for 81 per head, making a
total of s6i 10 in two years from an in
vestment of IS So
This is very credtable showing and
would be good one for men. TO say
nothing of boys. These boys will make
good sheepmen and they ought to be
encouraged in the business, and at the
same time thev ought to be cautioned
somewhat, lest their heads be turned
with such prosperity. AS long as such
skill is displayed in the business, how
ever. there is not much danger about
making the business proftabIe.-The
Wisconsin Farmer.

shame and our flag trailing in the dust.
There is but one thing to do, and that
is to fight it out just as the President
has planned"
Secretary Long is inclined to be
amused over the claims put forward by
the friends of several gentlemen of
credit for the selection of Dewey to
command the Asiatic Squadron. While
Senators and other prominent men
wrote to Secretary Long recommending
Dewey's assignment to that command,
just as Others wrote in behalf of other
officers. the Secretary SAYS the selec-
ton was a natural one and would have
been made if not an outside word had
been said. As TO who is entitled to the
credit of the assignment, which pro-
duced 80 much glory for Dewey and for
the country, Secretary Long said: 'The
credit OF 1t belongs to no human being
except Dewey himself, who, by reason
OF his special fitness, by rank, by his
turn to 60 to sea, and by his meritori-
GUS qualifications, was the natural des-
iCnation Of the Bureau of Navigation"

supper to Capt. Paul Smith

Last Saturday night a very pleasant
and enjoyable time was spent in the
armory by the officers of the First Bat
talon and officers and members of Co.
\. The occasion was supper rendered
to Capt. Paul Smith on the eve of his
departure from the Islands. A set of
resolutions passed by his late COM
mand were read and presented to him,
with the very best wishes for his sue
cess in his new sphere of duty. If Cap
tain Smith is half as highly appre-
ciated in his new regiment as he was
in the First Regiment he will come
back to the Islands a-well, something
better than captain! May he go on
and prosper is the wish of all his
friends and former comrades in the
National Guard Hawaii.

In commenting upon this action o.
Commissioners, Minister Mod-Smith.

said on Saturday last:
1t is to be hoped that in reaching
their decisions the parents and teachers
wnl consider the educational and
hygienic value of the proposed change
from the standpoint of the pupil as well
as from the standpoint of personal
convenience"
The plan makes the recesses one hour
earlier The opinions thus far ex-
pressed are various, but it is already
evident from those thus far spoken to
that the discussion and decisions, be-
fore handed in by vote on the printed
slips sent out, will take cOgnizance of
the child in school and the hygienic
and educational value of the proposed
change upon it, The most OF those
the change thus far" said
a leading educator on Saturday. have
based their opinions mostly upon the
of the present practice, in
which the child is lost sight of while
The teacher and parent are considered.
