Secretary Wilson on the Progress of the


Farmer.
When asked about the progress of the
farming industry in the United States,
Secretary James Wilson of the department
of agriculture, said
Under the American flag at home and
in the island possessions about one-half
the people live by cultivating the soil and
preparing its products for food for the
world. Little attention has been given
until late years to preparing this class of
people for that life work.
THE United States have endowed ag-
ricultural colleges and experiment sta
lions to conduct education and research
along those lines so that we might have
scholars who were familiar with the vari-
atoms of the atmosphere, the domestic
animals, the plants, the soil, forestry and
agricultural chemistry as applied to en-
tomology, biology, and the like. l am glad
to say that great progress is being made
in this direction in the agricultural col
leges and experimental stations in the
several states and territories of our
country.
The department of agriculture at
Washington is training men so they will
be experts in these matters, and, during
the last six years 1876 students have been
brought into the departments for this
very purpose. The department has 1000
scientists who are investigating the most
improved methods of farming, fruit rails
ing and stock breeding, and we are now
eXpending $4,000 600 year in all parts of
the United States and the island possess
siops to improve all branches of this great
industry. The department last year print
ed nearly 1000 different publications and
sent out IL, 100000 pieces of literature re-
lating to agriculture and its branches
The United States today are doing more
work for the farmer than all other coun-
tries of the world combined"

Plans for the new capital of the Phil

Saturday by Secretary of War William II.
Taft Secretary Taft said: THE new cap
ital will be about 1855 miles from Manila,
on a plot of ground over 5000 feet above
the sea level, which will make it far more
healthy for Americans. 1t is to be to the
Philippines what Simla is to India, and
will be of great benefit to the islands. The
climate is superb the location is good and
the new opportunities for men with cap
ital will be very great"

"Heroism, in which I include courage,
fortitude and self-denial, is an essential
element of a great character; courage,
which leads a man forth to meet danger
whenever thereto called by duty; forti-
tude, the power and practice of endur-
ance, which renders him superior to pain,
and makes him accept with cheerfulness
whatever fate comes and self-denial, the
subordnation of the material to the
spiritual of the lower to the higher ma
ture of man, which renders his will mas
ter of his appetites and passions, and
causes him to forego every personal ben
eft for the sake of honor and conscience"

LEAP YEAR PARTY. Queen Grove, of the Woodman Circle, Entertained Their Friends.

Queen Grove No. 3, of the Wcodmen Circle, gave their leap year party last evening at the Opera House, and it was pronounced by all present to have been one of the most delightful social dances of the season.
 The dance was strictly a leap year affair, and as the women folks had not had a similar chance in eight years, they made the most of the occa- sion, and there was no end to the fun. Gentlemen were compelle1 to remain seated at all times. and should they wish to cross the floor it was neces- sary to call on a lady for escort. A fine of 25 cents was placed for an in- fringement on the rule, and some $10 was collected in fines during the even ing.
 The affair was under the supervision of Mesdames Bowman, Lambert, liar rington, Jones and Gill, who also act ed as the reception committee, and left no wall flowers among the men.
 The music was excellent, and the entrancing strains of the waltz were kept up until the small hours of the morning. The Circle reaped a good ly sum by their efforts, besides furn ishing a delightful occasion.

Says Operations Are Steadily Pro

Superintendent J. s. Palmerlee, of the Huaclrca Consolidated company, came in yesterday morning from the Huachuca mountains for a brief visit. While here he expressed himself as being well pleased with the develop ments at his property, and said that operations are going along steadily and with the best of satisfaction. The company will soon have a five-stamp reduction plant in commission near the mine, and preparations are now going forward for getting the plant in shape for duty. When the plant commences to tuIn out bullion it's out put will speak volumes for this prom ising mine, and what has been pre- iicted for it will then be realized. The company, and management is not shouting about what big things are likely to develop, but are going ahead with their mining operations in sys- tematic way and a manner that will be approved as most highly satisfac- tory to the stockt olders.

 At the west side rich ore has been found about sixty-ive feet below water level. and some good sulphide ore has been uncovered at the Silver Thread, also below water level. The mines to the depths wored are per fectly dry, showing that the drainage of the district is being efectually handled.
 The ore shipments by the company average about the same for the past month, the principal output coming from the big shaft At the other mines of the company the usual quota of miners are employed. and regular work is being carried forward. and the outlook is regarded by the manage ment as most encouraging.-Tomb- stone Prospector.
