Skillful Begging.
ON the New York Sun.


There are bungling beggars who, working
a given territory, make the mistake Of ask
ing twice in day from the same man;
there are others with a keener eye, who
not only avoid such blunder. but who may
ply their calling with grace as well as dis
cernment. A man who was walking quickly
along a Harlem street saw ahead, leaning
against a fence post. beggar, who accost-
ed him as he passed. Keeping on at the
same quick gait, the man reached In his
pocket for a nickel. The man leaning
feebly against the fence post was strong
enough TO overtake the quick moving man
and get the nickel.
In the afternoon. in the next street. the
same man. met the same beggar. now trans
parently beggar. the two meeting this
time head on coming from opposite direc-
tons. The man was curious to know
whether this beggar would strike him
again. or let him pass. He turned out TO
be man OF art and self-restraint AS the
two approached the beggar saw him and
identified him from .ifar. As they passed.
each holding his way. the beggar had the
grace to say again. as he had said in the
morning:
Gentleman. thank YOU"
He was beggar who put some thought
into his business, and to whom really there
was some pleasure Ia giving.

TRIBUTE TO A CHINAMAN.
Irrigon Regrets the Departure Of Hon.
est Mr.. Cling Yick.

From the Irrigon (Ore.) Irrigator.
A fine gold watch was presented to Cling
Yick Monday on his departure for home in
the fiowery kingdom. 1t was presented by
the people of Irrigon. in token OF the high
esteem in which Cling is held, and bore
this inscription: ITO Cling Yick. from his
Oregon friends. August 5. 1905"
Cling Yick has left us and gone to China,
the land of his birth. where a loving wife
and family yearn for his coming. He has

state of Oregon who did his duty better

STATE GIVES AWAY TREES
Kansas Work Proving of Great Ben

SO many years since tree was a curiosity
on the semf-arid plains Of the west Now
little clumps of timber ca6 be seen ON
every hand. They render valuable serv-
Ice too. They furnish wind breaks for
stock In the winter, shade in the summer,

There has been wonderful change in
climatic conditions of western Kansas. 3"
said Representative Chalk Beeson. II can
remember when the Billiards from the
north In the winter would kill cattle by the
thousands, and the hot winds from the
south would burn up crops and pastures in
the summer We got caught coming and
gong. Now we are not bothered with
either. The trees break the billiards. in
winter and the hot winds in summer The
saving to the farmers in cattle alone runs
INTO the thousands of dollars. And as for
crops, we haven't known of a failure since
the t:,es got big enough TO do business"
The salvation of the western country de-
penis more upon trees than on irrigation
Only small part of the country can be
irrigated at all-the river valleys. The
government Is spending $3.50. 900 making r-
rigation experiments around G arden City
II they prove successful the farmers, In
the long run, Will have to foot that bill II
they fail the government will be the loser.
But irrigation affects only a small area. 1t
Is the handling of the upland at a profit
that will count. And ii seems that trees
offer the only solution of what has seemed
a difficult problem.
The government has set aside co 900 acres
of land in Finney county for tree reserve
Experiments will be made to find out what
species of timber is best adapted for that
country. The arid districts of Europe, Asia
and Africa will be searched by experts for
trees that thrive without much water. AS
soon as the government has its reserve well
started ii will supply trees to western farm
ers at n small cost and encourage them in
every way to start groves.
The state now supplies 100000 trees an
nually to the farmers. These are produced
at the station and shipped out in the
spring. The farmers simply have to pay
for their delivery. No charge Is made for
the trees by the state.

Catchy Music the Thing.

From the Boston Transcript.
"A catching melody" says a promoter OF
muical shows. will do more to make a mu-
steal piece go than all the incidental busi-
ness and show girls in creation" To give
a new turn to old saying. the tunes the
thing. The words OF hardly any of the pop
ular songs are worth memorizing. In most
cases they are either stupid or vulgar It is
the same with the old-fashioned italian
opera: the iibretto Is wretched but the mel
odies. like beauty itself, are JOY forever.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NECESSARY

the nations and appropriate legislation by Congress.
 1t therefore plainly follows that pri- vate ownership of the California Devel- opment Company's main canal system must give way to public ownership. The water belongs to the land and it is illogical for the canal system to belong to any one other than the owners of the land and water. Every event that trans pires makes this conclusion more in- evtablo and we believe that all parties will agree that such condition is the most desirable
 With all the factors that are now active to bring this result to pass, we believe that the people of our Valley can feel assured as to the outcome, and can possess their souls in patience for yet little time. The end has not yet been reached, but the end is in sight, so let each and all loyalty work for the up- building of our great Valley and the prosperity of our community.
 The answer to the riddle propounded by the international boundary sphynx is known, and when the proper time comes the answer will be given and the sphynx rendered harmless. Public ownership for use must succeed private ownership for profit in the operation of the main canal system supplying the Imperial Valley.
