214S Center Street. Dec. 4.
In order to settle some problems of
fertilization and irrigation in prac-
tical way the University of California
is about to enter into arrangements
with a number of Southern California
citrus growers for the use of portions
of their groves, so that actual tests can
be made The tests of the conditions in
the various localities have always BEEN
made at agricultural stations placed in
their neighborhood, but these cannot
solve all the problems of large. area,
and now it is s4proposed to make the in
vestigations on more comprehensive
scale.
The work will,be carried on under the
supervision of Professor A. V. Stuben-
rauch. who has just returned from
visit to the South. j. w. Mills, super
intendent of the agricultural sub-sta-
tion at Pomona, will do the actual work
of visiting the various places where the
experiments are going on. In his alb
sence the Pomona station will be looked
after by John H. Barber. formerly of
the Foothill station in Amador County
1t is proposed to secure concessions
in a number of groves in the citrus
growing district of Southern California
for the experiments. The product of
the groves will, of course, go to the
owners. the idea being simply to use
an acre or two for experiments. In this
way the work of the university will be
brought into closer touch with prac-
tical conditions. The lands. and trees
viii be fertilized and irrigatedswith the
view of obtaining data as toSthe best
fertilizers to use and the necessary
amount of irrigation. It is a work that
has. never been attempted before and it
takes at least five years before any ma
terial results accrue.

joined in the singing of the opening

of a brief scripture lesson by the Rev.
c. F. Reid. the Rev. e. w. Work of
Berkeley addressed the delegates. The
subject of his discourse was The
Voice of the Prophets and he urged
that the disciples of the present day
use every effort to spread the Gospel.
Dr. Work said in part:
1T seems very evident from the Old
Testament that the Jews had touch
ed the surrounding peoples with their
religious beliefs, and that this contact
had it's effect The views of the proph-
cts were sihgularly broad, for they
said that the glory of God should fill
the whole earth.

ACTS is A MANUAL.
Hiram Van Kirk, VINO was the last
speaker of the morning, described the
Book of Acts as a missionary manual,
and referred particularly to the Apostle
Paul as the first great missionary of
the Christian church.

the champion steer of the Interna-

at the stock yards, was sold at auction
to-day for S449, or 26 cents a pound.
Low prices, contrasting strongly with
those which ruled over year ago,
marked the auction sales of cham
piOn cattle at the livestock exposition
to-day. 1t was said that in many cases
the championship beef on the hoof
sold for nearly so per cent less than
a year ago.

Condemned TO spend the rest of her

final scene as she sat throughout the
trial. and when it was over walked
away without a sign OF emotion.
This morning she was moved to a
cell other than the one she has been
occupying. Her passion then burst
forth in all its fury. A special watch
has been placed over her TO see that
she does herself TO harm. She comes

day. The jury. however, fixed her pen

missionary spirit in the heart of every
delegate present. so that each one of
us may feel the fire of the Holy Spirit. :"
Church fairs and teas were not en-
couraged by the Rev. E. f. Baker in
his address on Money and Missions. -
He said:
When one takes part in fair or tea
for the benefit of the church he first
pays for whatever he decides to do
nate and then attends the entertain
ment and pays for it again. and al
though the expense is doubled the
church gets the benefit of but one-half
the actual outlay"
The Rev. A. s. Sawyer, in his ad-
dress on THE Needs of American Cit
ies,'' compared the city to the heart.
He said, in speaking of the need of
evangelical work in the cities: When
a man is sick the physician first exam
ines his heart, and if the heart be sound
he extends his examination to other
parts of the body. So it is with our
American cities. The country sup
plies the city with it's worst as well
as it's best blood and it should be the
endeavor of every Christian to see that
the good is not contaminated by the
bad"
The Rev NgPoon Chew of San Fran
cisco discussed the Needs of China .
He said that a few years ago China
would have resented the inference that
she needed anything, but he added
China is waking up to the fact that
she needs a great many things, al
though there is at present a great diff
ference of opinion as to what they are.
Some say, Give us a great army and
navy others Give our young men an
education in art and science, and still
others say. Let us welcome modern
civilization None of these, however.
will answer The need of China is a
spiritual one, and only when the nation
embraces Christianity will the great
question be answered"

TEAPOT TEMPEST STILLED
The SeawanhnI<a COrinthinn Yacht
Club Dinner Episode Developed
From Misunderstanding.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Sept. 14.-By au-
thority of the president the statement
was made that the complication which
arose over the Seawanhaka Corinthian
yacht club dinner had developed from
a misunderstanding. The president eX-
planned to Colgate Hoyt, chairman Of
the board of trustees of the club, that
he could not attend large formal din
ner, as by so doing he would be I'M
just to many friends and organizations
whose invitations to similar affairs he
had been obliged to decline.
The president further wishes it to be
known that he did not in the remotest
way object to the presence of Sir
Thomas Upton at the dinner. He
wrote a personal letter to Mr.. Hoyt
stating his position. In that letter he
informed Mr.. Hoyt that he not only
had no objection to the attendance of
Sir Thomas Upton at the dinner, but
that as member of the club he would
be glad to see him there if Sir Thorn
as could make it convenient to be
present.

the comptroller says, comes princi-

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 14.-No wires
are working south of Jacksonville, and
details of the hurricane which swept
across the southern part of the state,
Saturday, are incomplete. So far as
known, seven people met death, the
bodies of five being washed up near
Miami, on the east coast, and two near
BoyntOn, on the west side of the state.
Passengers arriving on belated trains
report that on the east coast many YES
sells have been wrecked. Above Mi
ami it is reported that seven or eight
vessels are ashore. The property loss
in the city of Tampa is about one mill
ion dollars. West Tampa was flooded
by the rain. No loss of life is reported
in Tampa, although several persons
were hurt by falling trees. Much in
jury has been done to orange groves
and gardens, and it is feared that many
of the beautiful winter homes of north
ern people have been damaged. The
disturbance is sweeping across Ala
bama and Louisiana. All wires south
of Montgomery, Ala, are down. In the
neighborhood of Flomaton, Ala, and
Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile and
New Orleans report high winds. There
is no evidence of the storm at Charles

nails have been displayed there for two

EXTRAORDINARY LETTER.
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria As
sured of IN Asylum in England
If the Worst Comes.

Berlin, Sept. 14-An extraordinary
letter, purporting to have been written
by a Bulgarian statesman, appears in
the Kleine Journal. The writer asserts
that subterranean passage leads from
the castle of Euxeniograd where Prince
Ferdinand lives, although besieged, to
the river, through which the prince can
escape by water when convinced that
his position is no longer tenable. 1t
is addeded that the Princess Clemen-
tine, mother of Prince Ferdinand, saw
King Edward and told him that her son
was in a deplorable position and in
danger of his life, and begged the king
to have a vessel in readiness to carry
him away from Bulgaria. King Ed
ward, it is further asserted, assured
Princess Clementine that Prince Fer
dinand would always find an asylum in
England.

SNOW TEN INCHES DEEP.
One of the Earliest and Most Sc
we're Autumnal Storms In the
Northwest for Years.

Winnipeg. Man, Sept. 14.-One of the
earliest autumnal storms experienced
in the northwest for years swept over
the country on Saturday and Sunday.
The only fatality reported comes
from Gretna, where an old man fell
from a buggy and persisted in the
storm. At Hartney, II horses died in
the Canadian Pacific yards, and in the
vicinity other live stock are reported
to have persisted.
telephone message received from
Minnedosa reported that the storm was
one of the worst experienced there in
five years. 1t started to blow about
ten o'clock in the morning, and heavy
rain soon followed. At noon this de-
veloped into a snow storm, and by
dark the snow was ten inches deep on
the level prairie.
Grain which was still standing, is al
most totally ruined.
