Arkansas Valley melons, the visi
tors at the Worlds Fair at ST.
Louis on Colorado day. some time
in September, will have a luscious
feast on real specimens OF water
melons ard cantaloupes as grown
only in the Arkansas Valley.
Eek Senator Swink has commune
Gated his plans of sending a train
OF twenty cars filled with melons
to General Agent J. p. Hall OF the
Santa Fe system at Denver. and
the railroad will make arrange.
ments for a general Colorado ex.
cursion for the days selected by
the fair managers.
In addition to the melons, ex-
Senator Swink and his committee
of Arkansas Valley farmers will
send another tTainload CT honey,
celery and sugar beets for exhibi.
ton purposes. These exhibits
will not be ready before the latter

that the best part OF the fair and
the largest attendance will be seen

LAST year forty nine beet sugar
factories were in operation in this
country and made ago. .oo+ tons oi
sugar. This required 2,o7o,+ +oi
tons of beets grown on 747,S7j
acres Of land. The average yield
of beets was 50 ton an acre, fol-
which the factories paid s. 90 a
ton. II thus appears that to grow
sugar beets the growers are paid
f4I.66 an acre. For a farm croI
requiring such good land and SC
much hand labor this is too low a
gross return to leave any profit, OF
at least but q very small one. On
the other, hand the average sugsi
beet grower is learning the bus
mess more thoroughly With
eleven per cent Of the factories oi

COLORADO is about as far inland
as any state in the Union. yet she
furnishes her quota to Uncle Sam S
navy. According to data compiled
by the Navy Department, there
were in the last fiscal year 500
enlistments in Colorado, oo4 in
Missouri, ri2 in Kansas, ioI in
Nebraska, Ar in Indiana and SO
in Oklahoma. These are all inter.
ior states, and. with the exception
OF Missouri, have no navigable
rivers, so the romantic glsmor Of
"liie on the ocean wave" may be
considered as the reason why so
many OF their young men offer
themselves for service under Uncle

The presentation OF "a Wife's
Honor" by Miss Lillian Mason and
most excellent and evenly balanced
cast, last night at the Toler. was
one OF the most pleasing and in all
satisfactory performances OF the
season, and, to say all who attend
ed were more than pleased would
be only mild way Of expressing
it after overhearing the many com.
plimentary remarks OF every one
leaving the theater. The play was
exceptionally good and the man
ner in which 1t was presented
could hardly have beea improved
upon. The story of the play is Of
absorbing interest from beginning
to end; at times one could have
heard pin drop. for several
scenes were presented so natural
that the audience was captivated.
Every character was presented
in a most creditable manner The
scenery was pretty aud the cos
tunes grand. 1t is seldom oae b
afforded a chance OF seeing a high
class attraction at popular prices,
and such an opportunity should
not be missed, for this company
deserves to play to = packed house.

very enjoyable day was spent at the

about two miles from Heppner, Sunday

to be the center of attraction last Satur-
day from 6 to 7 80 p. m. 1t was Frank g
3Oth birthday and he celebrated it bv
inviting few of his gentlemen friends
to dine with him. The verdict of all
was that, although they did not wish
Frank to age so quickly, they did hope
his birthday would come often if they
could have the pleasure of being pres
ent at the dinners.
