TEARING UP
CALIFORNIA ORCHARDS.
Owners Say That owing 20 Scarcity
OF Labor Fruis-Growing Becomes
Unpronsable.

Fruit trees in two large orchards at
Red Bluffs, California, are being taken up
and the land cleared for alfalfa. At the
Cone place, in Antelope Valley, q great
traction engine is at work taking out
peach trees by the roots. The land will
be leveled and cultivated and will make a
magnificent alfalfa field.
JIM. Howell, who has one Of the finest
peach orchards In the State, has also
commenced the work OF annihilstion, and
the trees will be removed to make room
for an alfalfa patch. He says that last
season he should have realized $1,000
from his fruit, but owing to the scarcity
Of labor great deal of the fruit rotted on
the ground, and his receipts from what
he was able to save were about 81 800.
OF this amount ~, 400 was paid out for
labor. Howell now thinks there is more
profit in an alfalfa field than in a peach
orchard.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT.

ALI Chartz in Gsrdnerville Courier.
Under our old incorporation law the
subscribers to stock are responsible for
the debts of the corporation to the
amount Of bis unpaid subscription, and
no more. Under the laws OF New Jersey
and Arizona particularly, there is no re-
sponsibility. The corporation can run
into debt and the creditor can whistle for
his money. The Legislature of Nevada
conceived the idea that by changing our
law 80 as to exempt corporations from
personal liability for the debts they incur
as corporate body. about all the corpora
tions doing business in Nevada would in
corporate under the laws of this State,
and that would create business. or
course, tremendous volume Of business
could be transacted in this State If people
having property would only trust ire
sponsibles. 1t appears to me that a far
better law would have been to forbid
irresponsible corporations from doing bus
mess in this State. The law is dishonest
and justified only by the fact that other
States have equally dishonest laws.

"JoBS" AND JOURNALISM.

The "jobs" which would go through
Congress, if il were not for the restrain
ing power of the press, are terrible tc
contemplate. SO Congressman Little
field is quoted as saying; also that iii
there we're no newspapers at all, don'i
believe would be willing to trust my
self alone in the House of Representa-
tives for fifteen minutes"
Mr.. Littlefeld only adds to the testi-
mony of countless men in public life to
the weighty influence welded by jour
nalism, an influence only remotely
perceived and understood by the avers
age person. A watchful press has on
numerous occasions verify saved the
country.
In o sense the newspapers are the
peoples agents. Their heavy response
bility springs from the intimacy of their
relation with the people. In every
sense they should be the peoples safe
guards. While they do to large de-
gree reflect public opinion, they also,
through the concentration of impress
sions, create and mold it; and public
opinion is the press's weapon-for
good or for evil, for the performance OF
grave duty or for violation.
But to save the country from great
legislative crimes is only secondary
obligation. Journalism's opportunity is
in the first instance. and it performs a
far higher duty and one of profounder
consequence when it saves the people
from designing politicians and delivers
the country out of their hands.
A vigilant and downright free and
honest press is, in one view, a last resort
for a people oppressed by unscrupulous
politicians. No man, however great. in
public life, can defy united press. II
is only by dominating weak or cor
ruptibIe element in journalism that evil
powers manage to survive. When
every newspaper learns the truth,
which is more evident in journalism
than in any other sphere. that honesty
is literally the best and the only sub
stsntial policy. universal politics will
undergo mighty purfcation.-St

tan religion owes the original adop-
ton of the cross as a symbol. Over
the spot where the cross was discov-
cred chapel was erected and the
sacred wood was retained by Helena
in Jerusalem and deposited under
the great church or basilica erected
by Constantine over the place OF
crucifixion and burial. For three
hundred peaceful years the cross
remained in the custody OF the Bish-
op Of Jerusalem. Every Easter it was
exhibited to the pilgrims who throng-
ed the Holy City. Then came three
hundred years of comparative obscur-
ity. from which the cross emerged to
become the center OF upheavals that
convnlsed the entire civilized world,
arrayed the West against the East,
and caused the spilling of oceans of
blcod-the wars Of the Crusades.
The story Of the valiant crusaders
and their series OF attempts to rescue
the holy wood from Moslem hands is
well known. After a series of vicissi-
tudes, victory finally perched on the
banners of the Saracens, who, under
the great Saladin. defeated the Chris
tiaEs at Hattin, in battle of fright
full carnage. On that day, the 9Th
of July, 1887, the cross was lost to
the Christians. 1t was never again
recovered. Richard tho Lion Hearted

search was maintained, but without

the superstitious Moslems, fearing
the powers OF the cross. destroyed it
in order to prevent its possible re-
capture by the Christians. This, in
brief, is all that is known OF the his
tory of the true cross itself.

one Of the greatest miracles Of all

causes. The early Christians had
not fully eradicated the old prejudice
against the cross, and they thought
the scene Of the crucifixion too sacred
to be pictured in images.
Prior to the fourth century the
hottest of Christian symbols was the
monogram of Christ. 1t was woven
into all ecclesiastical vestments and
formed a prominent feature Of other
decorations. About the year 1913 the
first crucifix was introduced into the
church. 1t was made of dark red
wood and at the intersection of the
two parts bore tae figure of the
lamb, the objection to the using of
the actual figure OF Christ being still
strong.
Somewhat later came the Greek
crucifix, one of the most beautiful
of all the forms, and which many
contemporary divines contend would
form more fitting part Of church
ceremonials than the one in common

gems. In 692, during the reign OF

held The object of the famous con
ference was to devise means BY
which to circumvent the mysticism
and symbolism that were threatening
to undermine the Christian religion
and deprive it OF It's true meaning. It
was pointed out that the signs and
symbols used in the service were be.
coming more and more important
than the things they stood for, and
that to the ignorant mind the story CT
the life and sufierings Of Christ be-
gan to be only sort Of myth, an
allegory. 1t was resolved to substi-
tute the actual human figure Of the
crucifed Christ for that Of the sym
bolic lamb. This act resulted in the
creation Of the orthodox crucifix Of
to-day.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 21.-
Railroad officials and persons connect

can recall no recent year in which the
movement of the wheat crop to the

Of spring wheat at the four principal
markets, including Minneapolis, have
been much smaller this year than last,
and it Is certain that this condition
does not correctly represent the size
of the 1903 wheat crop in the spring
wheat states, such as Minnesota and
the DakotaS.
The slow movement of wheat to the
milling and shipping centers is attrib-
uted to the unusually fine weather
