The cotton convention which was
held in Columbia on Tuesday was
COMPOSED of an able aud representa-
tive body of South Carolinians- They
were in earnest They can accom-
plish much good for themselves and
the cotton growing section by unan-
iuaitv of action and if they stick to-
gether they have the key to the sltu-
alton. 1t all depends upon the far
mers themselves. The Herald and
News said several weeks ago that the
solution was to hold your cotton and
reduce the acreage That is the So
luton reached by the convention and
with the bankers and merchants
working together and cooperating
with the farmers the problem can be
solved but the farmers must solve 1t.
Less fertilizer has been bouth up to
this time than in several years and
we believe the farmers arc determln-
ed to solve this question and to get
better price for their cotton. 1t
will benefit them and every other IN
terest in this section. When the Tar
mers are prosperous the rest OF US
can hope to share in the prosperity.

The bell-bov brought a note to the Tringham-
TanlIns apartment Arthur received and read 1t.
Two DAYS had passed since his wifes departure
and he felt unwillingness to accept invitation
especially when 1t seemed to promise bit of adj
venture In less than five minutes he knocked
at the door of the suite of rooms occupied by Mrs
Slimms-Slosson.
Mr. Tringham- Tamms," said that woman as
Arthur, announced by the servant who had an
swered his knock, advanced and bowed TO his alb
sent wifes btte H0ir of the Beachcomber Casino.
"Mr Tringham-T amms, l can only plead my
privilege as old woman who might be your
mother in excuse for having taken the unconven-
tional course of introducing myself | asked you
to come and see me because | felt sure you must
be lonely. a young man who. even while sur
rounded by the gaieties and disspatons of a water

she thought was a wonderful discovery
AS Mr. and Mrs. Tringham- Tamms strolled
next morning along the beach, after bathing
they turned, as was their invariable practice
in the direction of the Casino, from which
gay pennants t1uttered, and there came the
crash of the band in the opening number of
the days program. When they had come
within few feet of the entrance they halted
for an idle survey of the scene. The constant
cloud-shift overhead perpetually chang
ing the color of the sea from green to blue,
from purple to bronze as if a great shadOwy
hand at intervals swept its sleeping surface
with a magic touch. The beach was a rain
bow of summer parasols and marvelously
brilliant dresses; the murmur of movement
subdued, like the droning of bees among
flowers; the music from the Casino a softly
undulating waltz measure; the atmosphere
was holiday.
Mrs. Tringham-Tamms turned suddenly:
I'm going back to the hotel. l forgot, I've
some letters to write.
Very WELL" Arthur answered, IN join
you a little later. l want to hear the band"
So they parted. And Mrs. Tringham-
Tamms making her solitary way back to the
hotel. seemed determined somehow, and her
glance was directed straight in front of her,
swerving neither to right nor left, as if fixed
on some definite, distant goal, which 1t was
her unfaltering purpose to gain.
The same evening, to her husbands COM
plete surprise, she told him she was starting
for New-York next day on some particular
business that might detain her for several
davs more. To his repeatedly expressed de-
sire to accompany her, she responded:
oh no, Arthur. It's not at all necessary.
You know | travelled good many years alone
before l met you, you knOw-and as you're
ENJOYING Beachcombers SO much, as you said
last night, l couldn't think of dragging you
away"
Arthur made no further protest.
The "widow-man as a certain school OF
fctionists describe persons in Arthur's state
of temporary conjugal bereavement-was in
a reflective mood which was not operating to
exat his private estimate of himself In his
solitude the bald cold facts of his position

MAY DIVIDE WARD PROPERTY
LOTS FACING BIRCH STREET
AT ONCE.

A tier Of lots facing Birch street
between East and Palouse, part
of the Michael Ward estate, is
to be put on the market shortly and
arrangements have been partially
completed for dividing the whole tract
and placing it on the market, pro-
viding a purchaser cannot be found for
the whole piece, consisting Of about
10 lots. In event Walla Walla is for
tunate to secure an appropriation for
public building the Ward tract has
been looked upon as the most desira-
BILE site for such a building. The tract
lies within the boundaries of East AL
der, Birch Palouse and East streets,
and is considered one of the most de-
sirable residence tracts in the city,
with the probabilities of it becoming
business property within a few years

ONE BABY IN MANY HOMES.
Race Suicide Among the Rich in the
Quaker CITY.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 49,
Babies are scarce in the home Of the
wealthy Philadelphians. A house-to-
house canvass Of the fashionable Rit-
tenhouse square section reveals just
one baby in 131 homes. At five lead
ing hotels there is but one baby among
the residents.
In marked contrast, house to- house
canvass of the smaller streets in diff
ferent sections shows: 16 houses, 20
babies; 102 houses, 80 babies; 260
houses, rs babies; so houses, II ba-
bies.
In the most fashionable section of
Walnut street, inquiries at sixty-one
houses elected the information that
but one baby had been born in this
stretch of houses for year. The num-
Der of births this year in the entire
city up to the beginning of this month
was 26,2S2, while for all of 1904 the
number was 32,137.

UNCLE SAM WILL NEED MANY TO

There Is at Present Shortage Of Labo"-
ers Needed On the Western Re-
cIamaton Pro- ects.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-"Wanted,
and Wanted Bad! Good men to work
on the irrigation projects of the west!
God pay for good men who will work
This is the kind of advertisement that
Uncle Sam will have to print in the
papers throughout the country pretty
soon if the shortage of labor continues
about the irrigation enterprises in the
arid lands. The geological survey,
which has fatherly interest in the
success Of the irrigation work, has
just issued a plaintive appeal for
help in the form Of a circular letter
which is given to the press here at the
capital.

went begging in the arid west. Now
it is the work that goes begging" IS

s"Several contractors" continues this
letter, Engaged on government pro-
jects have already failed because OF
their inability to secure the services OF

clamatiOn works. Carload after car
load Of laborers has been started for
the west and every effort made to de-
liver the men, but in spite of the ut
who undertake to transport them,
many of the men succeed in getting
away before their destination is
reached. They have enjoyed their little
outing and the chance it gave them tc
see the country, but they are not real
ly hankering for the work. Very few
stay with the job for any length OF
time or appear to take any interest

Strange as it may seem, the eight
hour limitation on work is a factor ir
the laborers' discomfort. During the
long hot days on the arid plains, the
man who is exercising moderately out
in the sun, with his attention distract
ed from the neat, fares much more
comfortably than the one who swelters
laZily in the crowded bunk house with
nothing to think of but of his own dis
comfort. In the absence of all amuse-
ments, the thought of drink becomes
paramount during those long hours of
enforced idleness, and in spite Of every
reasonable precaution, bad liquor gets
into every camp. Many Of the best
workmen insist that, under these con-
ditions, they would prefer to work
longer hours and keep occupied except
during the time needed for eating and

COMMITTEE APPOINTED yEsrER.
DAY HAS HARD JOB ON ITS
HANDS.
Planned Now to Divide Weneha Re-
serve Into Two Districts Dividjno
Line the Issue.

The division of the Weneha forest
reserve among the sheep and cattle
men is precipitating a hot fight in
the committee appointed at yester-
days mass meeting, and while stock
men were busy filing their applica-1
tons for permits this morning the
committeeman, locked up in one of the
jury rooms, wrangled among them
selves as to an equitable division of
the range. 1t is now proposed to divide
one section of the reserve off for sheep
men and another for cattle men. Just
Wnere the dividing line is to be is the
paramount question that threatens
trouble of serious nature between the
conflicting interests.
Little of what was transpiring in
the committee room leaked out this
morning, but cattle men say they will
fight for every inch of territory that
the reserve in two sections, one for
the sheep men and theother for cat
tie, is a new one on stockmen. Just
what the outcome will be can only be
conjectured until the committee finally
arrives at a decision
Charges Announced.
Chief Ranger Schmitz yesterday aft
ernoon announced that a charge Of 25
cents a head for cattle and cents
for sheep will be made for permission
to Craze in the reserve. Cattle men
say the charge is fair and they are
satisfied with the ruling. The sheep
men also say they are satisfied The
moneys SO collected are turned into
fund used in defraying the expenses of
the reserve officers.
Nearly 800 applications for permits
had been filed at noon today and Chief
Ranger Schmitz estimates that fully
$50 applications will be filed before
the present meeting adjourns. The al
lottments will not be made until after
the grazing value Of the range is de-
termined When this is finally figured
out the forest reserve officers will is
sue permits.
