B. AND l.. TAXATICN.
Another very important measure
passed by the house OH Tuesday,
Il after considerable argument, was
Mr.. Whaley's bill which exempts
the stock Of Legitimate building and
loan associations from the taxation
which it was recently held they
were liable for. The bill was passed
by an almost unanimous vote.
Unfortunately, On Wednesday
the Dill was recommitted. 1t NAV

AS TO SPECIAL. COURTS.
1t was announced in the last
issue OF The Herald and News that
the house on Monday killed Mr..
Haskelps bill to repeal the statute
allowing the appointment of special
Judges upon the petition of any
given bar or the solicitor. The
bill was killed by a vote Of 20 to
40. 1t was argued by many Of
those who opposed the bill that
special courts and special Judges
should not be abolished until the
creation of new circuits, several of
those who took part in the debate
against the bill saying they would
tavor Its passage after some action
which would give the proper re-
lief from over-crowded dockets.
THE CLEMSON SCHOLARSHIPS.
At the night session of the house
on Wednesday Mr.. D. O. Herbert's
bill to provide beneficiary scholar
ships in Clemson college was passed
to its third reading after long de-
bate. The only change made in
the bill was that it was made TO
provide for either agricultural or
mechanical scholarships. The bill
provides for as many $Ioo scholar
ships in each county as there are
members Of the house.

hand, the value of the beet sugar
products has increased from 81, ,22o,
in 1900 to 100000 in 1903. In
other agricultural and in orchard
products similar advances are shown,
indicating for New Mexico the most
permanent and the most promising
lines of development. Mining is
a good thing, for Colorado's mineral
products amounted to s72,OOO,OOO
last year or about thirty times those
of New Mexico, but it is, after all,
agriculture and manufacturing that

Sugar Factory a. Lamar.

The American Beet sugar Com

erect a 1000 ton sugar factory at
Lamar. Colorado, before the end oi
the 1906 season, and this settles the
question as to the location Of the
new factory.
The citizens of Lamar and the
farmers in the contiguous territory
accomplished the work, and to them
all credit should be giveN By con
tracing to plant 10 msny acres oi
beets each year, tie result was ac
complished.

is also developing into one of the
best paying crops grown in the val

more than doubled in the last three
years, and the farmer who had a
good crop of alfalfa seed this year
was particularly fortunate. W. E.

coiorado's Future Wealth.

Vast as are the mineral resources of
90 orado, it seems indisputable that
her great wealth in the future is des
tined to come from the ground in
another form-through the pursuit
Of agriculture made possible by the
scientific application of irrigation.
The production Of precious metals in
this state has reached the figure
where it is not likely to increase to ap
preciable extent, but the value Of our
agricultural products is growing rap
idly. Commenting on this the San
ia Fe New Mexican says:
As Colorado is neighbor of New
Mexico and its resources and con
tour are similar to those Of this ter
ritory, it is interesting to note what
has been accomplished along indus
trial lines in the Centennial State
In Colorado, as we'll as in New Mex
leo, agriculture stands at the head as
a wealth producer, although few Peo
pie look upon either commonwealth
as an agricultural section. In gold
the Centennial States production
for 1903 is almost $1,000, 900 below
last year, owing to labor strikes, and
the silver and coal productions show

The contract for the association
was given to E. r. Nichols & Co.,
of Chicago, and it is now up to this
firm to do what its friends claim fol
it. One thing is sure. they will do
their very best for the shippers as
they desire to make q showing that
will take the valley next year.
Whether all agree or not, let's pull

DeBoer and the New Era.

j. A. DeBoer is not ambiguous
There is no ambiguity about his
writings and much less in his ac-
tons. He has said that he was not
candidate for governor. He never
will be. He will be asked to be the
nominee and will accept. He will
accept because his republicanism is
of the type that comes forward when
needed. His party knows that in his
nomination lies the key to the prob
lem. He will be told this by men
who know what they are talking
about DeBoer is a general, leader
and will accept the Office of gov
ernor of Vermont and it will be an
honor that but few men can lay claim
to in this state to say that his cleo
ton to the Office was the spon.ane-
GUS outburst of brand new era in
Vermont's history. 1t will certainly
be unique situation. Our sister
states will again say, "What has hap
pened?" as they remarked upon the
result of the referendum in 1908.

How Children Can Help.

The children of the Princess Of

of charity which might engage the
attention of American children.
They belong to the Happy Even
ings association of London, the pur
pose of which is to provide pleas
ant play rooms in different parts OF
the London slums, where the unhap-
pv little ores who have no homes
worth the name may play at will
with no one to say "Hush" or to
otherwise curb their merriment.
A great many toys and dolls are
given for their amusement, and
numbers of these are sent by the
little ones of England's royal fam
lily. There are Indian dolls, dolls
from Ireland, dolls in Russian cos
tunes and in quaint Welsh high
hats, baby dolls and mother dolls,
nurse dolls in cap and apron-in-
deed, every imaginable description
of doll is represented and forms the
delight of the little ones during q

like this. They are so many oppor-

OF course every one knows that
the pearl comes from the oyster,
but everybody does not know that
the oyster which is eaten has moth
ing to do with producing it.
The operation takes place down,
down, down in the farthermost
depths OF the sea. SO far as we un.
derstand why the oyster forms the
pearl, it is in this way: A tiny SUBJ
stance like sand gets into its shell.
The oyster resents the intrusion
and seeks to cover it. 1t is this
process which forms the pearl. The
pearly juice of the oyster is poured
over the foreign substance, and so
pearls are made for queens and
princesses and very rich people to
wear.
Most of this business of diving
for pearls is carried on off the coast

bright eyed page, who was then pos

In the days when canes were more
fashionable than they are now, and
every young man thought he had
to carry one on all occasions, good
deal of fun was made of boys and
even men who had the silly habit
of putting the heads of their canes
to their lips or in their mouths.
This habit could not have become
so common as it did if it had been
the fashion to carry the canes in the
way | am going to describe. Meas
ure the length Of your forearm
along the cane by placing your ell
bow even with its head and mark.
ing the point to which the tip OF
your middle finger reaches.
Take hold of the cane with your
middle finger covering the marx
and your little finger nearest the
head. The cane must be at right
angles to the hand and be grasped
firmly, so that the tips of all the
fingers are pressed tightly against
the palm of the hand. 1t is not
"fair' to hold the cane obliquely.
Now try to put the head OF the
cane to your lips. If you succeed
You are an exception to the general
rule, and even YOU will probably fail
if YOU hold the cane, in the same
manner, at point a little farther
