is from five to ten times as valuable as
that of his brother across the ocean.
While the European produces butter

from the best his own land produces.
Perhaps the most striking comparison
exists with reference to agricultural i'm

machinery than the European, and
what he has is lighter heater and more
convenient. The harnesses and the

AMERICAN AND FOREIGN FAR
MERS,

MERS.
The American who departs from the
beaten tracks and travels leisurely on
foot or bicycle through the agricultural
districts of Europe quickly notes many
points Of difference between European
and American conditions. In the first
place, the American farmer owns his
land and has great deal more of 1t.
or this he wastes much along the road
side and in numerous liberal strips de-
voted to fences. Much is wasted about
the house and barns. The same care
lessness exists in the use of manures.
The careful collection and distribution
Of liquid manures practiced in Germany
is unknown in America. While we
speak of wastes, 1t may be mentioned
that we do not know what economy in
the use of wood means. 1T is a reveal
ton to one who is accustomed to see
quantities Of excellent stove wood rot

peasant clipping his row of willows and

In the handling of his land, the Amer

system Of crop rotation as is prac-
ticed elsewhere. He also has tenden-
cy to indulge in specialties, deyoting

made her initial trip. His idea was,
that the poorer people in the city
would enjoy spending the night at
sea, under unusual conditions for
comfort, during tie heated season.
The steamer was elegantly fitted up as
floating hotel, but the first night
was unusually warm, and between the
heat and the mosquitoes, passengers
were una'le to sleep, and that gave
the project poor beginning, and
caused an unfavorable trend OF senti-
ment, before it had had fair chance
for life. Patronage gradually de-
creased, until Arbuckle decided to dis.
continue the service. He had fitted
up three vessels, with model kitchens
and dining rooms, baths, smoking
rooms, electric lights, and all convent
ences for luxuriant life, including or
chestras to add the charm OF music
10 brief stretches OF "Life on the Ocean
Wave" all at a rate barely sufficient
to cover the cost of operation.

some other alternative for display of
philanthropy, free libraries having
been appropriated by Carnegie, and

York Croesus. It seems little sur
prising that he has not yet thought of
affording better quality of coffee, an
article that enters every household, at
a figure which might render his name
immortal.

CoMMANDANT Krige delivered very
interesting lecture in Olympia Thea
ter, Friday night, on the Boer war.
He reviewed briefly the contentious OF
that struggling people for q couple OF
centuries back, and showed the justice
OF the present attempt to resist the
usurpations of England. He insti.
tuted parallel between our own his.
tory and that of the Transvaal suf-
ficient to enlist the sympathy of
Americans, which was manifested by
frequent applause. He was not
abusive of the English as q people,
only condemning the govern mental
policy which is directed by the most
sordid and selfish incentives. He be.
lieves that the great mass of English
people condemn the cruel aggressions
OF the crown, ard that this dissent and
the sympathy of other nations for his
people, added to their indomitable
perseverance and skill as fighters, will
give them the victory. He expressed
the firm conviction that the Beer
cause was never stronger than it is
now.

THE TIvOLi OPERA co.

The Wedding Day will be the offer
ing by the Tivoli Opera Company at
Olympia Thea'er, on Monday, Sept
3Oth. This company comes direct
from the San Francisco house, making
summer tour while the grand opera
stars are shining there. The piece is
without doubt the best from the pens
of American authors, and had ire
mendOus run in the East. Owing
to the big cast required for its proper
presentation, and the heavy scenery
and elaborate costuming, the opera
has not been seen in the west except
at the Tivoli, where it has been given
on two occasions, both times with
great success.
The plot is French, and abounds in
funny complications. The dialogue is
witty and clever, and the music is said
to be the best yet produced by an
American composer. The first act
opens in the bake shop of PoIycop.
The baker returns from Normandy.
bringing with him bride whom he
suppOses to be a simple peasant girl,
but who is in reality Partisan girl.
Planchette, his assistant, does not like
the match, and does all he can to
make things unpleasant. A royalist
lady, Lucille D'Herblay becomes mixed
up in the plot, and the complication
commences. She is pursued by the
Frondist soldiers, and to escape them,
changes dresses with Rose Marie, the
bride. The Frondist general arrives,
and falling in love with the bride, has
her husband impressed as a soldier to
aid his lOve.making. The second act
in the parlors of Madam Montbazon,
sees the Frondists scheming against
the Royalists, and Polycop showing
up in his soldier dress, gets into more
trouble. Many amusing incidents
follow the appearance OF Lucille and
Rose Marie in disguise, and Polycop is
torn between love and duty as to
which is his vile. The Wedding Day
proceeds again in the last act, the

The Public Schools.

The city schools will open on Mon.
day, Sept. I'd. On that day, assign
ment to grades will be made and book.
lists distributed, after which pupils
will be dismissed that they may enjoy
the last holiday of the summer OF 1901
as is fitting our State Labor Day, and
be ready to begin the years work in
earnest on Tuesday.
For the present, the grades will be
distributed as at the close of the year,
all of Grade A, and Eighth Grade A
and B pupils, going TO the Lincoln
building. In some instances this may
seem to work hardship, but on Sec
ond thought it can be readily seen
that the children will make better
progress when the teacher can give
them the necessary attention than
they can when the room is over.crowd-
ed And the teacher over-worked.
Since school closed in May, the
school buildings have each received
needed repairs and cleaning at the
hands of their respective janitors, and
are now in excelledt sanitary condi-
ton. The course of study has been
carefully revised and the work OF the
grades below the Eighth has been en-.
riched by the addition OF supplement
tai reading, vocal music, drawing and
other things tending to aid in the full
development of the child.
There will be no changes in text
books; that is to say, no child using
given book will be required to discon-
tinue the use of that book and buy an
other of the same grade. Books new
to the school are such as are in gene
raj use in other cities where the
schools are of high standard.
The business course added to the
high school should attract q large
number OF young people who wish to
prepare for business with no thought
OF finally entering college or univers-
ity. In this course will be given book
keeping, commercial arithmetic, bust
ness law, typewriting and shorthand,
beside the necessary English branches.

A TRAGEDY AT A CONC FESTIVAL
During the masked festival of the last
days of the Tacoma Carnival, two
masked desperadoes made it the means
for saloon holdup, in which one man
was killed and two wounded. The
proprietor OF the saloon when ordered
to throw up his hands, took it as
joke, and remarked, you're coming

which grazed his forehead intimated
that it was in dead earnest the mask
ers were operating. Ben johnson, an

the robbers were searching the pockets
of the inmates of the saloon, when he
was shot in the lett hip, inflicting a
wound from which he died half an

BY unanimous vote the CITY
Council at Walla Walla, last we eli
passed an ordinance increasing the
license fee for the sale of liquors, in
quantities less than one gallon, tc
$666 year, payable in one lump sum
in advance. 1t prohibits the sale oil
liquor OH Sunday. All liquor licenses
heretofore issued for fee of $3.50 each
are revoked, and the holders are given
credit, if they desire, for the amount
OF the nnearned fee, upon new licenses
The ordinance goes into effect Oct. l

comprehensive and radical, as com.
pared to the one fixing the fee at 5000

1t is under contemplation to build Il
structure for a fraternal home, in Yaki-
ma, where aged and disabled members,
widows and orphans, may be cared for,
and in which the headquarters will be
maintained. An army of competent
organizers will be placed in the field
