HINTS FOR FARMERS


More than one farmer who has put
tile or other underground drains in his
fields, or a part Of them, learned this
year the value of drainage in
drought as well as in q wet season,
says American Agricdlturist, 1t gives
the circulation of cir through the soil
that keeps it light and friable, so that
the roots penetrate through the soil to
find the moisture they need. The soil
does not pack after a rain, partly ow
ing to the coming up Of air from the
tiles through the very channels that
the water followed when 1t passed
down to them. Some noticed that the
Sows, particularly Of corn, which were
almost directly over the line of the
drain kept green longer and produced
better crop than those which were
between the drains,a and the poorest
rows or parts of the field were those
farthest from the drain. Some say
the yield doubled In the close vicinity
OF the drains, In W hich case we should
think the drains were too far apart
for very dry or a wet season. But this
Is not all the value of drainage. Land
that is properly drained can be work
ed much earlier in the spring and IS
much less affected by the frosts in
spring or fall because II Is drier.
Wheat and clover are not SO often lift
ed and the roots broken during the
freezing and thawing Of the winter
and are thus less liable to winter kill.

COL. GRIFFITH
A DANVILLE BOY

Colonel Griffith J. Griffith, the multi
millionaire, of Los Angeles, Cal, who
began life in Danville, was signally
honored on the 4th of the present month
by grand banquet at Los Angeles,
which was attended by many of the
leading men of California, including
Ex-Governor J. L. Beveridge, who act
ed as toastmaster. The banquet was
gotten mp in honor of Col. Grifith's tif-
tieth birthday.
The Los Angeles Times of the fifth
inst, in giving an account of the ban
quet says: For thirty years Col. Grif-
fifth has been identified with the devel-
opment of this city and its beautiful
suburbs and he is widely known as a
keen public spirited philanthropic citi-
zen. He has been connected with all
the great movements of the past that
have had for their object the advance
ment of this section. Several years ago
he decided to the city the famous Grit
fifth Park of 5000 acres-the greatest
pleasure park owned by any municipal
ity in the world.
On the festal board were pineapples,
bananas, strawberries, oranges and
other tropical fruits, all grown within
the frostless confines of the beautiful
Cahuenga Valley and freshly picked for
the occasion.
Col. Griffith, who was born in Wales,
along with some other emigrants drift
ed to Danville about 1861, when he was
9years of age. He was an orphan and
without single relative so faras known

pealed to Benjamin Mowrey, who con-
Quoted blacksmith shop on North Mill
street, and he gave the young emigrant
a home.
The boy worked in the blacksmith
shop, receiving in return his board,
clothing and schooling part of the year.
He attended the Third ward school and
is well remembered by several of our
citizens who were school fellows, among
them W. C. Williams, of the Baldy
House and Undertaken John Doster,
Jr.
At the age of 10 he went to Califor
MIA. he received employment on the
San Francisco Call, in time becoming
reporter of the Stock Market. 1t was
while in this position that he gained an
insight into the methods of spectators
and learned the drift of values, which
enabled him when the opportune mo-
ment arrived to make investments which
yielded immense wealth.
Col. Griffith has paid Danville two
visits during his sojourn in California
He was present here at the funeral of
Benjamin Mowrey and before returning
to the Pacific coast he erected to the
memory of his benefactor a handsome
granite monument in the Lutheran
cemetery.
Jacob and Theodore Doster, of this
city, on their recent visits 30 California
called upon Col. Griffith and were roy
ally received.

According to q statement of the
Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald, the United States gov
ernment finds that 100000 will COW
er the losses to Americans in China on
account Of the Boxer outrages, so far
as they are fairly entitled to indemnity,
and that the military and naval ex-
penses due to the necessity Of interven-
ing with the other powers do not ex-
ceed S5,0OOOO0. 1t does not follow that
the government will insist upon the
payment of only 100000 and decline
to receive the balance Of S1S.0OO,OOO
allotted to the United States, as the
correspondent infers. Possibly some
thing in the way Of punitive damages
or q deterrent penalty and a bond for
future behavior may be exacted. How
ever, if the figures quoted are correct,
they Justify the position originally TAX
en- by representatives Of the United
States in favor of putting the indemnity
at much lower figure than that final
ly agreed upon and bring into still
more glaring contrast the attitude OF
the European powers, which seemed
determined to cripple and bind China
by piling upon her all the financial bur
den she could carry for the next forty
years

The Minstrel Band.

its merry, hurried music on Christmas
day? Did you notice the men i'll the pro

colored coats, buttoned with precision

Many grizzled man saw the parade
pass and turned from the window with
a wish that for just one Christmas day
he could be like the boy who followed
the minstrel band, admiring in his eX-
cited mind the wonderful heroes in the
long light coats, which are only fantas-

Proposed Appalachian Park.

The friends of forest preservation
will approve the action Of the presi-
dent in sending to congress a letter
accompanying q report from the secre-
tary of deulture on the creation OF
q forest reserve in the southern Appa-
lachian region.
Mr.. Roosevelt says In effect that the
facts given by the secretary show en
economic need of prime Importance
not only to the south, but to the whole
nation, in this proposed reserve, since
the influence of the mountain region
flows far beyond its borders with the
waters of the rivers to which II gives

president points out, this region is un-
surpassed.
The Appalachian, or Allegheny,
mountain range extends from Canada
through New England and the mid
die Atlantic states to the northern part
Of Alabama. The AdlrOndacks are

way they have been cutting them

CONCERNING Y. M. G. A.
FREE COURSE

There seems to be prevalent consider
able apprehension that the free enter
tainments being given in the Y. NJ. G.
A. Hall are proving financial drain
upon the treasury of the local associa-
ton. This is a misconception, pure and
simple. Since the inauguration of the
course two years ago. it has been self
supporting, and therefore has not cost
the \. NJ. G. A. one cent. At the pres
ent time, the Free Course management
has small amount of money in its
treasury.
We do not hesitate to make this
known to the public for fear, that the
entertainments to follow will receive
less financial support, but on the con-
trary, we feel confident that the people
OF Danville appreciate the exceptional
worth and character of this free course,
and Will continue to support it, even
more literally than in the past. Such
talent, as we have had, and as we shall
nave, costs money, and we therefore so
hcit generous patronage. The manage
ment's sole purpose is to continue to
make the Course self-supporting. We
are assured the people of Danville rec
ognize their responsibility and will gen.
erously perform it.
The next entertainment will be given
by the faculty of the Bloomsbury Nor
NAL School, Tuesday evening, January

,Japan's Coming Exposition.

The mOdernization Of Japan, in which
American influence has borne large
and an honorable part, has been one Of
the marvels Of recent years. Some
idea Of the progress the japanese have
made will be shown at the great In
dustrial exposition 10 be held at Osaka
in 1903, the first ever held in Asiatic
lands, to which they invite exhibitors
from all nations. Osaka, the early
capital Of Japan, is now only second
in Importance to the present capital,
Tokyo, and its harbor is the finest in
the inland sea. The concurrence Of
two such events as the Osaka exhibit
ton and the st. Louis exposition, each
Of them commemorative of the burst
ing Of national limitations Of different
kinds, will make 1903 q remarkable
year.
European manufacturers will no
doubt improve the opportunity, as the
Birmingham Post intimates that Brit
ish manufacturers will do, to strength
en- their hold on the trade Of the far
east. 1t is not to be supposed that our
own countrymen, especially on the Pa
cifc coast, will be laggards in compe-
tition. Mr. n. Kanzali, who has been
appointed special commissioner of for
eign exhibits at Osaka, is now on
tour whose purpose is to encourage the
rivalry of English, German and Amer
lean exhibitors, particularly of ma
chinery. What this and other coun-
tries are doing in the application Of
electrical power, the structural use OF
steel, sanitation and works Of public
utility is said to be an object Of spe-
