HOW ABOUT THOSE EXHIBITS -?

How are you coming along with
those exhibits for the St. Louis
Worlds Fair? The time is getting
shorter every day, and some OF
these bright mornings you will
wake up and find that the time is
all gone in which you could have
gotten in on that big exhibit. Are
you going to let that chance slip
you by ? If you do you will never
get through kicking yourself for
having allowed it to get by you2
The time for you to do anything,
no matter what it is, is the present.
Procrastination will ruin the best
of men. And procrastination will
hinder the progress of any coun-
try. Mahana practices will ruin
the best of men, and hinder COM
munities which would otherwise
have grown to be great cities.
Any mining man who overlooks
this opportunity will prove that he
belongs in some fossil town which
is full of citizens who do not care
whether their town goes ahead or
not, and any community which
has very many mining men who
overlook this opportunity will be
branded as fossil community. Be
progressive. Get in and hustle
and talk this matter up with your
well intending but old fashioned
neighbor. Urge every one to be in
the front row. Show the boys that
for them to be in the front row
means that they will help their
town to be in the front row.
If Arizona is to take bright
place in the constellation of Amer
ican States her people must prove
that she belongs there. Now is the
time to help her along a few pegs
He VINO hesitates in this instance
is not lost, but he is losing an op-
portunity. And we have all long
ago heard many times over about
the loss of opportunities, and how
they come but once, etc. Now, will
we allow this golden visit of this
Goddess of Fortune to escape our
notice ? We must not talk any
more of such theories if we fail to
put them into practice.

J. PIERPoNT MORGAN gives out the information that the end of prosperity is not yet in sight. This is pleasant news. MT. Mor- gan is gifted above his fellows in seeing things that are obscure to ordinary mortals, and the cheer full outlook he predicts for some time to come cannot help but have a good effect on the public mind and give confidence to spirits that are inclined to droop whenever depression in busi- ness circles is at all apparent. We have had nearly seven fat years, and many who believe in signs and omens and ancient his- tory think that the seven lean years are almost due, and these pessimists are ready to meet them half way. MT. Morgan will put new courage into this class. The United States is the greatest exporting and importing nation on earth.

IMMIGRANTS from Europe are coming into this country by the scores of thousands monthly. Nearly ten thousand arrived in New York on the first of April. While business conditions are better on this side than the other there will always be a large in flux of people who want to inn prove their material welfare, and to put by something for old age. The industrious and thrifty emi- grant is help to the country and adds to it's prosperity. It is the idle and thriftless that go to swell the number of our paupers and criminals. There are no such possibilities to become land own CTS in Europe that exist here. and it is a wonder that more dc not emigrate.

Oklahoma farmers are discuss ing Bermuda grass voluminously through the Oklahoma Farm Journal. Some declare it is the best summer pasture grass they ever saw, and it stays as long as you want it. Others say it is a nuisance for the same reasons. These prefer the native grasses and want as much land as possi- ble and declare you can't get rid of Bermuda if you want to. What they really mean is that simply wanting to" get rid of it will not exterminate it, but it requires work and that, perhaps, at time when you want to go fishing, or to town to ''see a man. And further, they have been taught that grass is the farmers greatest enemy, for haven't they been "fighting grass" all their lives, and their fathers before them? If you tell them that our most prosperous farmers are those who have fat stock and green pastures the year round, they will say, "that's all luck" They dislike Bermuda grass because you only have to plant it once, and it goes on producing the finest possible summer paStura without further cost or labor. 1t would be far better for Oklahoma farmers if they had far more Bermuda and other good pastures and good stock to keep it closely cropped. One farmer says: '.I can show you hundreds of acres of fine land entirely ruined by Bermuda grass This is sufficent to make a horse, COW or dog laugh Farm and Ranch.

THE special committee appoint ed to investigate the purchase of the convict farm made a report that about one third of the farm Is set in Johnson grass. one third has the grass on it and one third IS free from grass. The amount of land is estimated at 10, 300 acres and the valuation of the farm agreed upon by the com raittee is Sl34, 900, not including q 5000 gin. Representative Cook of Chico county makes a minority report in which he agrees with the majority, except as to the valuation of the farm which he. places at S90, ,0o0.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY
II can be said without fear of contradic-
ton that Admiral AleXieff, the general
issimo OF the Russian forces on land and
sea in the far East, Is the man of the hour.
Probably upon the outcome of the inter-
view with the Great White Tsar. for which
he has been called to st. Petersburg. de-
ponds whether it be peace or war in Korea,
in Mancnuria, in that new world which is
the old just across the Pacific.
1t Is no new thing to say that Russia
believes In one-man power. but when last
' month, by imperial ukase, the Tsar Mic
olas declared his faithful servant Admiral
Alexier to be the Vice Tsar OF Greater
Russia and lord of all the lands which lie
between Baikai and the Pacific and which
extend from the Arctic to the Yellow Sea
he gave public recognition of him as one
OF the greatest of empire builders and be-
slowed upon him such measure of conf
dence as only an absolute monarch can
give.
There are many In st. Petersburg who
maintain that ,Alexief's elevation means
war In the far East: others. drawing
their information from equally reliable
sources. declare it means peace.
We can well await the course Of events
to see in which camp the prophets speak
truly.
OF n thing only we may ba sure, that
the man is In the saddle who. by common
consent, Is the ablest administrator that
Russia has produced for many years.
Those who love peace for Its own dear
sake will be pleased to know that in a
dozen instances Alexieff has shown a con-
servatism rarely found in men who live
with half a million soldiers at their beck
and call.
For ten years he. has been the actual
FULLER Of Greater Russia. though it is only
to-day that his full powers nave been pro-
claimed.
1t Is pleasant to think tina in all this

! Flying squadrens were being modified
at Portsmouth and a demand for war
credits MAS expected hourly in the House
OF Commons.
I forget now whether Alexieff said that
the war scare was occasioned by the
Pendieh incident on the frontier Of AT.
ghanistan or about the Balkans and the
negotiations leading up to the Congress
of Berlin. but this point is immaterial-
it is only interesting to know how Alex
Jeff acted in the emergency
1t was a time when few subaltern Of
ficers would have dared to approach the
Minister Of the Navy even by cablegram.
except humbly to ask for orders. but this
Is what Alexif oabled:
why not empower M to buy COM
merce destroyers to prey upon British
commerce.
And the answer caIne back: Excellent
suggestion, but no time. War matter of
hours. not days"
But Ale1ieff was not to be put Oft. He
persisted and sent another cable. which
read: Permit me to say most respect
fully that your Excellency does not know
America. Let me try"
And the answer came back: Try"
He tried, and he succeeded thoroughly.
Within ten days. with the ample funds
that were cabled for his purpose. Alexief

war was declared. awaited orders.

twelve hours start on the declaration of

The war cloud blew over. the emergen-
cy was past. and Alexien was empowered
to sell his ships again. When he reached
st. Petersburg he was asked:
What can we do for you?"

they gave it to him. with the rank Of a

truth which was recently very blumty
stated by Lord Kitchener.
Although the Admiral has led an isolated
existence in a somewhat dreary part of
the world for the greater part of the last
twenty years, though he Is distinctly a
frontiersman and a pioneer Of progress.
the type of the caste In which he was
born persists; whether afioat or ashore,
whether surrounded by the somewhat bar
barrie splendor of his viceregal palace, or
in the great cabin of his flagship. or hum
bly, sheltered in a Chinese shack along
the line Of the destroyed railway. Alexief
always looks the same, always presents a
very imposing appearance. and has never
a medal missing. !.
He looks as though he had Just stepped
out of a bandbox. or, rather. out of q pal
ace on the Newski Prospect. and was
about to drive to an audience with his
appreciative master. the Tsar.
He is a ~tireless man with a task before
him. -.
When. in 1901. vladivostok. with its
mighty docks. its magnificent railway ia
cilitfes. its barracks and its impregnable
Notifications, was completed. Alexien was
doubtless very glad when the march Of
events and the order of the Tsar trans
ferred the scene of his activity to Port
Arthur on the point of the Regents sword
Peninsula. 800 or 400 miles to the south.
where. under his creative touch. the work
OF development has begun again on a
larger and more magnificent scale.
