DON RAMON AT GUAyMAS
A esla Occasion in the Sonora Metro polls. Which Showers Great Honor Upon Her Distinguished Guest

As stated Tn HE DAsls 0I last week. the vice president elect of the Republic of Mexico, Don Ramon Corral, visited Guaymas, the seaport of Sonora, where he was accorded the most exalted honor, and entertained with the most lavish hospitality.
 The City had been lavlshly de- corated. and four triumphal arches had been erected on tho route from the depot to the residence of Don Aqustin Bustamante, where MT. Corral was housed during his stay in the city.
 The first arch was in Avenue N, in the plazlteEd beside the Church, and represented the City Of Guay- mas. It was massive Dorlc structure. the lofty superstrncture, being crowned with collection of the flags of all nations, the central and largest standard being that of Mexico. An inscription in Spanish was welcome to Don Ramon Cor ral. the illustrious son of Sonora" " The second arch was at the cor ner of the Plaza Trece de Jltlio. at the intersection of Calle 23 and Avenue N. and was erected by the rompaata Industrial 2 Erplotadora de Naderas. 1t was a broad arch, with. low square superstruoture and upon the summit were seated about fiftv little girls who showered thousands of roses upon the popular idol as he passed underneath.
 The third arch was in Gale 23 upon the west side of the plaza and was erected to represent ths City of Mazatlan in the neighbor ing state of Sinaloa. The deslgI was Moresque, the main arch ovei the carriageway being hansed b1 a smaller one upon each side lh' superstructure was rounded toWart the center, where 1t tapered m lofty pinnacle, rising to a height Q forty feet above the ground, sur mounted by an efligy Of the Mex ican eagle, resting upon 2 globe.
 The fourth arch was erected b the Chinese colony of Guaymas, q ! cost of S5. 900, and was the mos elaborate and striking, It stoo at the intersection of Avenue VII with the head of Galle Principa across the end of the avenue, 1 front of the west corner of tn Municipal palace. The broad arc spanned the street, and above th square superstructure rose a loft Manchurian tower, several storlt in height, decorated with sewers dragons and numerous Mexlca and Chinese flags.
 All the arches were brilliant illuminated at night by myriads electric lights, giving them mo brilliant ensemble.
 Thursday and Friday of Ia week were the days of the visit the vice-president elect, who a rived from Hermosillo early u first named day, and departed f Hermosillo Saturday morning.
 Arriving at the Sonora railwi station at Guaymas Thursday, NJ Corral was met by the civic al military authorities and escort to the residence of Agustin Bust mante, near the head of Cal Principal, as at Hermoslllo pr

JUDGE B. F. DUNwIDDIE OF the circuit
court at GAINESVILLE has decided that the
mutual life insurance companies must
distribute their surplus earnings among
Wisconsin policy holders not less fire.
quently than once in five years. The
GAINESVILLE judge decided that the legis-
lature of Wisconsin in enacting the law
in question intended to provide and did
in fact provide that the companies should
distribute their earnings once in every
five years or oftener. The decision will
doubtless be appealed to TIE supreme
court and then, whichever side wins, it
will be carried to the court of last resort.
If the victory of the state officers be
maintained in the higher courts and the
direction of the present decision be COM
piled with by all the companies affected,
some $300,00O,OOO will have to be di-
yided.

HERETOFORE the election Of supreme
judges has been reasonably free from
partisanship or factionalism, but in the
pending election Of justice of the SUI
preme court, the "reformers" have &C
lively interested themselves as faction
in promoting the candidacy of Candidate
KerWin. The reform" opposition to
Mr.. Luse, because of his having once
served as railway attorney, is charac-
teristic of the hypocrisy of the La Fol
lette politicians. Though it is a fact
that four years ago Mr.. Luse served as
railway attorney, it is also a fact that
Mr.. Kerwin, who has been adopted as
the reform" candidate, is now the at
torney of the Wisconsin Central Rail
way company, the Wisconsin Southern
Railway company the Fox River Valley
Electric Railway company and the Wis
e ,nsin Telephone company. The dis
honesty of undertaking to create preju-
Cce against Mr.. Luse because he once
served as railway attorney, while urg
ing the election OF lawyer that at the
present time is the attorney of three
railway companies and the telephone
monopoly, is apparent. Mr.. Luse is in
every way capable and reputable at
torney, eminently qualified for the su-
preme bench. The voters should grant
him their suffrages if for no other reason
than to rebuke the dishonesty and by
pocrisy of the "rerorm" politicians that
have injected their factional spoilsmon-
gering into the judicial contest

terest to Wisconsin farmers.
Bulletin No. Ill, entitled ''Oat Smut
and it's Prevention" puts the loss during
the last three years from oat smut in this
state. at $13, 100000. During this period
the rural public schools have cost the
tax payers OF the state S11, 100000. The
bulletin gives full directions for treating
seed oats to prevent loss from smut in a
simple, inexpensive and thorough man
ner.
Bulletin No 112 treats of alfalfa in
Wisconsin. 1t tells how to test the seed,
how to secure good stand of alfalfa
and how to harvest and care for the
crop. Both bulletins are illustrated.

AN INEXPENSIVE BARN.
Plans of Serviceab BILE Structure Erect
ed by G. Keller, Nebraska
Farmer.

The barn cost but 5000, yet 1t Is found
to be very satisfactory. 1t is the prop
erty of G. Keller, of Lancaster county,
Neb. The structure is entirely of light
timbers and without the usual braces,
beams and posts which characterize q
barn of this size. BY referring to the
diagram the great advantage of space
and of handling the hay will be seen.
The building is held securely together
by the trestles connecting the plates.
These are constructed on the same
principle as bridge spans. Since the
barn was built in 1901, there have been
several severe storms, but the struc-
ture has not spread.
In making a durable foundation for
the building, Mr.. Keller. the owner,
adopted rather original plans. He asks
the farmers to notice the ordinary farm
home and observe that in many cases
the chickens and hogs have combined
their efforts and about destroyed the
stone wall; the chickens picking out
the mortar, and the hogs roofing away
the tarth, thus allowing the wall to
cave in. To avoid this and at the same
time save expense, red cedar blocks
were used for a foundation.
The box stills are made of three 2x6-
inch pieces. Two are laid fat on the
cedar blocks, and the studding set on

TREES OF MANY FRUITS.
How a Small Lot Was Made to Yield
Many Varieties of Luscious
Fruits.

Many people who live on city lots
long for fruit trees OF their own from
which they can gather fresh fruit in
stead of being dependent on the mar
kets, but owing to cramped garden area
they feel that an orchard is an impos-
sibility. Mr.. Vaughn, of Pasadena,
was confronted by just such problem,
but he has cleverly found a way out
of the difficulty. On the back of his
town lot he had room for six fruit trees.
He planted naval oranges and peaches
and plums, and when they had become
strong and sturdy he grated and
budded other varieties into them. The
operations were all successful, and now
Mr.. Vaughn has numerous varieties OF
fruit that ripen at all times OF the year
and furnish an abundance for table use.
On one naval orange tree Mr.. Vaughn
budded q tangerine, a grape fruit, a
lemon and blood orange, making, with
the naval orange itself, five kinds OF
fruit on one tree. They all bear pro-
fusely, and the fruit is of extraordinar-
-ly large size. The peach trees were
budded with numerous varieties of ear
ly and late peaches, as we'll as apricots
and nectarines. These trees bear from
July to November IL. The plum trees
aave been induced to produce many
Kinds of plums. If all the fruit raised
from these six trees came from individ-
lal trees of their own kind, it would
take five acre ranch to accommodate
them.-Country Life in America.

Park Avenue tunnel to Croton on the
Main Line, a distance of 81 miles, and to

This will he the heaviest steam railway

one of these locomotives trains of ten or
more cars will be hauled at express speed

sign and method of control are such that
two or more locomotives can be coupled
together and operated by q single en-
gineer from the leading cab, so that the
size of the train that may be under the
control of one engineer is practically un-

PREPARING POTTING SOIL.
A Little Forethought and Care Will
Give the Farmer Distinct Ad-
vantage in the Spring.

On every farm it happens in the
spring that the farmer wants a sup
ply of rich dirt filled with vegetable
matter and that will cause the tender
seedlings to push forward with the
greatest possible speed. This dirt is
called potting dirt, but. it is used also
in the hotbeds. To have it ready for
use in the spring its preparation must
begin in the fall long before the ground
is frozen. Sod and manure are the
elements out of which good potting soil
is compounded. If the sod is clay sod a
good deal of sand will also have to be
added to it in the spring. At this time,
however, the sod and manure may be
mixed. A layer of sod and layer of
manure piled up to any height to rot is
the foundation. In applying the sand
it must be remembered that good COM
post of this kind requires in it finally
at least three times as much sand as
clay.-Farmer's Review.
