because he was old enoug's to be her
father. The prince was psrtinacious
and tried to arrange an interview with
the heiress, but this failed when Miss
Goelet learned his age.
Then Hohenlohe returned to Berlin,
but forgot to pay his agent Suit was
brought and a portion of the amount
was paid, but it was not until pro-
ceedings were threatened in Berlin
that Hohenlohe's aunt paid several
hundred pounds to settle the claim.
This story has special interest because
of Prince Hohenlohe's recent visit to
Newport, and the reports of favor he
found in the eyes of Miss Goelet, and
was entertained by the Vanderbilts.
Three other titled clients of Capt.
Porkony, who wished to exchange
their names for good American coin,
were Baron Richard Won Kappers. who
wanted to get a California heiress with
100000 a year; Baron Eberhard Won
Duncklemann demanded a girl with
100000, and Prince Heinrich Haron
of Bohemia also decided to secure
Miss Goelet and her fortune, but was
also debarred like Hohenlohe by his
age.

result may be seen in this letter:

yesterday and she begged me to say
how fiattered she felt at the proposal
with regard TO Prince Hohenlohe, but
that her daughter was still very young
and, as she had never seen him she
must decline the proposal. Should
they meet hereafter it would be diff

thing would be impossible. Miss Goe-

but is very English in her feelings and
views and dislikes the marriage de
convenance' system abroad extremely.

unless she falls in love with man."
The writer of this letter few days
later learned for the first time that
the prince was so. She wrote another
letter saying she feared Miss Goelet

was published concerning him and
the richest of American heiresses;
Miss May Goelet is said to be the
magnet that holds Grand Duke Boris
to this country, despite the repeated
intimations from his cousin, the Gar

Reports of the attentiveness Of the
Grand Duke to Miss Goelet have reach
ed the royal ear, and there are fears
in st. Petersburg that the possible
heir presumptive might take an Amer

take such a step he would have to re-
nounce his right to succession to the
Russian throne. During his stay In
Newport the Russian nobleman and

The County Fair.
Miss A. IenOX.

County fairs would be more inter-
esting and profitable if the main grum-
blers would contribute something of
interest to others; but no, with not a
thing there to exhibit they find fault
with what is there and also with the
management thereof. If such persons
are asked to be one of the committee
they generally say they have no time.
Neither have they time to cook, make
or manufacture an article, but they
have plenty of time to come there to
kick and many times without provoca-
ton, and inspecting certain things,
they say: "Why, if I could not bring
something better I would not bring
anything at all, for have lots of nice
things right at home" Now, if they
really have why don't they bring them
and shut up? Some say, what is the
use of my bringing anything? 1t is
only a certain few who draw all the
prizes, anyhow" That is not always
the case, either, for my daughter re-
ceived first and sometimes second pre-

the certain few. At any rate, whether
you take anything or not do not grum-

One of the most important and
promising lines of work of the Bureau
of Forestry is it's study of economic
tree planting and it cooperation with
farmers and others in making forest
plantations. Tree planting has so vi
tai and intimate relation to the well
fare of the farmer in the treeless re-
gions that whatever assists him to
grow trees assists him also in the pro-
duction of every other crop. Forty
six thousand one hundred and forty
five acres were examined for planting
during the year, and planting plans
were prepared for 5,785 acres, while
14S applications for tree-planting
plans have been received. A careful
study has been pushed during the year
of the encroachment of forests on the
western plains in order to determine
the possibility of reclaiming portions
of non-agricultural government land
by planting forests.-Farmer's Re-
view.

The Ranch continually receives in
uuiries as to how much alfalfa irri-
gated land in eastern Washington will
average. We have been of the opinion
that the claims of some of the alfalfa
enthusiasts of an average of to 9
tons was too high, and contended If
one got six tons from an acre year
after year it would be a mighty good
and profitable yield. Now we repro
duce letter from H. W. Lichty to the
Sunnyside Sun. in which he gives fig
ures to show that the land there
is making a steady yield of eight tons
and over. The men quoted are among
the most prominent residents of that
section, and have every reason to be
conservative in their statements, so
that the information may be consid-
cred reliable. 1t is certainly a most
remarkable showing.
In the face of this strong array of
testimony, we will have to admit that
Sunnyside is capable of doing better
than six tons per acre, and yet Con
vince a man against his will and he's
of the same opinion STILL" In order
to finally settle the controversy we
would like to see the people of that
section invite Prof. E. e. Elliott, ag-
riculturist of the State Experiment sta
ton, to visit Sunnyside and make an
accurate report on the alfalfa yield,
based on a careful scientific investiga-
ton.

prehensive resume of the work of the
department and shows the scope of
this institution. In it the progress of
the weather bureau is noted, the work
of the bureaus of animal industry,
plant industry, soils, chemistry and
