pRoF, DeMoTTFs LECTURE
HIS Second Appearance on the Lee.
tule Course Much Appreciated
by the Public.

Prof. John B. DeMotte was heard
iof a second time on the lecture and
concert course Monday evening, his
niso appearance being about two
sears ago. At that time the pro-
lessor made a splendid impression On
a Mitchell audience and in his
present lecture he fully maintained
nis standing with the people. The
oitie OF his lecture was Python Eggs
ana the a merican Boy" He told Of
the main characteristic of the python,
Which was a perfectly tractable rep
tile when not hungry, but it was d
most dangerous one when driven by
Tue pangs OF hunger. So it was with
the boy, the man, the woman. They
could travel along in q certain groove
quietly without causing any disturb
ance, but there was a point ia their
lives when they broke through the
veneering. Perhaps the one word
habit would form the groundwork
.of his lecture. Some trait which
was formed inthe youth of aperson,
and which, if permitted to grow,
Would require years of labor and
thought to throw of. He pleaded
earnestly with his listeners to be Of
some assistance to young men and
women in resisting wong, and not to
judge them too harshly for some
misstep in their lives. The lecturer
laid particular stress upon the de-
yelopments which faculties viii
undergo when used, and be showed
bow easy it is for young persons to
acquire proper habits when care is
exercised influencing their actions
in early life. Prof. DeMotte <
hibited a goodly number Of illustra-
tions which clearly demonstrated his
points. Models and pictures were
shown Of the brain. In regard to.
the work of reformers the professor
said: 81 sympathize with the work
which is being carried forward by the
reformers. but the work Of reforma-
tion should begin before the habit
has enslaved. The world needs more
brain and nerve training. Young
persons should be equipped with we'll
trained brains which willenab.e them
to avoid temptation. Prof. De-
Motto spoke some wholesome truths
in the course of his remarks. which
even have an application right in
Mitchell. His lecture is laid out on
lines thatwill be helpful to any com
munityif the teachings are followed.
The next number on the course, and
che last one, will be April s, when

"Sqire Mclaughlin is one of the best

Laughlin determined to 90 west and

Impressions by the Way.

+. A. Thompson, father of Howard
Thompson of the Thompson Music Co.,
in an interesting letter to the South Min
neapolis News descriptive of a trip from
Minnesota to Washington, makes the
following observations regarding the In
land Empire:
"We never saw any more country that
| thought white man ought to live in
until we got within thirty miles OF Spo-
kane. Then things began TO look differ
ent. There were fine farms, and stock
and fruit orchards. OF course this was
in Washington. Everything looked
prosperous, and it was very beautiful
country. We stopped only ten minutes
at Spokane, but long enough to see the
great activity of the place. Spokane is
fine town and a stirring place. New
houses can be seen going up on all
sides.
CATER leaving Spokane the country
grew better and better all the time. The
soil is very rich and productive, every
foot about alike. There are no poor
localities like other countries. 1t is all
good. The soil is rich deposit of VOL
canic action, perhaps thousands of years
ago. The deposit covers an area OF many
hundreds of miles and is from 10 to so
feet in depth. You can readily see that
it is practically inexhaustible. 1t is ex-
ceedingy easy to cultivate, in fact the
best paying crops such as alfalfa and the
fruits needs no cultivat' on after planting.
The alfalfa is grass and is the feed for
all animals. Even hogs fatten upon it.
1t produces three tons to the acre three
times in one season, and then leaves
fine pasture for the balance of the season.
Just think of the immense crop of or 8
tons to the acre of the finest feed that
the earth can give, with no care but to
irri1ate and harvest it.
This great and rich country is not
confined to the Yakima valley, but is of
a wide extent of territory, east, west,
north and south for several Hundred
miles. Colonists are fast filling it up,
but if the people OF Minnesota and
other places knew what this grand coun-
try is, they would hustle out here in
hurry. l could not believe it until l saw
it for myself"
