WHISTLER STUDENT IN BOISE.
Miss Althea Il. Chase VIII Make Her
Home i'm Idaho.

Miss Althea b. Chase, one of Amer
ica's prominent young artists who has
been fortunate enough to have had
her pictures exhibited at the Paris
salon, and who has recently come to
Boise to live, was interviewed yes
terday, says the Boise Statesman.
Miss Chase was found busily en-
gagged on an exquisite little piece of
wood carving and stated that she ex-
pected the brass, to begin some work
in that line today. Her versatility in
art was exhibited in the etchings.
charcoal drawings, pencil sketches
and oil and water studies about the
studio.
She said that her first work was
done at the Chicago Art Institute
where she received honors, and Incl
dentally mentioned that students find
it most difficult to get thorough
training in construction and founda-
ton in drawing in Paris studios, the
masters will not give the time and
attention to this preliminary work
which the student should have and
that it is conceded that it is given
much better in the American art
schools.
one of Miss Chase's first masters
in Paris was the famous and eccentric
Whistler. on asking Miss Chase
about her admission to his classes,
she said:
"Qn reaching Paris, students who
aspired 10 work with Whistler were
informed that they must submit their
work to the "Massier1 at the Acade-
my Carmen then there was a week or
10 days of anxiety in which all kinds
Of rumor floated about as it was
found some would not be admitted
and l was looked upon as an unusual
object when the "Massier" of the
class said he would keep my drawing
from the nude.
MY first sight of him was a mos
agreeable surprise when I found that
he even looked healthy and acted like
human being. Whistler remarked
once that what he taught was neither
method, a trick, a system nor c
| dodge After that we could not b,
so rash as to name it, yet however
indefinite in words his teaching nigh
be, it was securely tethered to reality
on his palette"

TEST DRY FARMING
CONGl;ESS WILL EXPERIMENT
WITH CAMPBELL SYSTEM
Appropriation Asked by Agricultural
Department for the Purpose of Car.
r,inS Out Thorough Tests-Systcm
Appeals to All Experts Who Have
Investigated Its Working.

That the department of agriculture
will test the Campbell system of dry
land farming which has proved to be
such a success in Kansas. Nebraska
and the Dakotas, is shown by the fol-
lowing Washington dispatch:
While the department of agriculture
does not deny there is merit in what
is known as the Campbell system of
dry farming, and while 1t is willing
that all credit for that comparatively
new system shall go to its instigator,
there is strong belief in the minds OF
irrigation officials of that depart
ment that the system should be care
fully studied by the government in
order that its limitations as we'll as
its benefits may be laid bare to the
farmers of the semi-arid regions.
Bills are now pending in congress
authorizing government experiments
under the Campbell system in various
states and under all manner of con-
ditions prevailing in the semi-arid
country.
II has come to the attention of con-
gress that some farmers, having only
general knowledge Of the Campbell
system. have undertaken the cultiva-
ton of crops that can not be grown
except with an abundance of water; in
other instances farmers have under
taken cultivation in soils not adapted
to dry farming.
In consequence there has been some
loss and there will be more until the
farmers fully realize the limitations
of dry farming and come to know
when and where 1t can be used, ami
what crops it will produce under vari-
Gus climatic and soil conditions
To that end it is probable that am
appropriation of 100000 will be made
in the agricultural appropriation bill
for Just this sort of experiments. Such
an appropriation would be expended
in localities where irrigation is not
| practiced and where 1t is not likely
to be undertaken, but where condi-
tions are favorable to dry farming.
Once the government ascertains
what crops will grow hy this method
and what will not, farmers can safely
undertake farming by this method.
The government experiments are in
no way a reflection on the promoters
of the Campbell system, but will aid
them, inasmuch as they will tend to
reduce the number of failures and be
guide to those who are earnestly
striving to get crops with a limited
amount of water.
Once this appropriation is made ii
is apt to be continued from year to
year. until the government shall have
demonstrated the possibilities of dry
farming all over the west. 1t is good
work. 1t costs but little and its hen
efits will be greatly in excess Of the
cost.

UNION PACIFIC BUYS LANDS.
Secures Favorable Location in Seattle
Tide Flats.

Under the veil of secrecy with
which its recent tide land purchases
have been involved, the Union Pacific
yesterday bought another block of
land in the south end, acquiring all of
the tide land block No. 395 for a con-
sideration of $4,000. says the Seattle
star.
The deal follows close on the heels
of the immense purchase of four
blocks of land east of the present
union depot for s2,7500O0 and, so we'll
informed authorities say, about closes
the present buying by the Hartman
interests.
Block 395, the last of the tide land
properties taken over yesterday, ad-
Joins blocks 393 and 394, which have
already been acquired by the Union
Pacific, faces the east waterway and
will. it is claimed, be used for freight
terminals and the center of the rail-
road maritime business.
AS result of this sale prices on
available property in the immediate
vicinity took a sudden jump of from
$1,000 to $4,000 per lot.
Several other big deals are in course
of consideration today but they are
of such importance that the people
interested are as close as the proven
bial clam in divulging any informa-
ton. Names Of principals and prices
are directly withheld.
The Union Pacific buying In tide
lands has come with such dispatch
that those interested in the realty bus
mess are figuratively on their toes to
catch the first suspicion of further
movement by that corporation.
As the situation is now in hand the
corporation will construct its passen-
ger depot on the land it purchased
yesterday adjoining the present untor
depot Of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, and the freight
sheds will be located on the holdings
it has acquired adjoining the eas
waterway.

glance reveals the truth.
In 1882 one man did the work-the
commissioner. The total receipts were
$11.0s4-0s. One man could do that
companies to issue licenses to and to
keep track of. Consider how the de-
tail has multiplied by the accession of
new companies. and all the manifold
duties required in their control. Last
year the receipts Of the State from
that branch were $123,
than ten times the volume of business
done twenty years ago in that year Of
1882 to which Democratic orators are
pointing with so much pride And
yet the exepnses Of the office. salaries
and clerk hire. are but $4,000. against
$1,000 in 1882. II Mr.. Davis or Mr..
McGillicuddy can figure out Of that
showing anything except q condition
Of affairs advantageous to the State Of
Maine. then their acumen as business
men grows dull as they turn from
their private business to consider pub
lie affairs.
1t is small wonder that with this
showing as only one instance of the
damning verify Of detail. Candidate
Davis avoids anything except general
tiles when declaiming against extra
cost Of service in the Maine depart
ments.
Does a Maine voter want his States
business attended to as 1t increases or
neglected by reason Of petty parsi-
mony in providing public servitors?
But If the showing in the insurance
department Is thus so emphatically
successful from a business standpoint,
the Secretary of States Office reveals
a condition that may well cause voters
to sit up and open their eyes.

There was. moreover. none Of the

now all accomplished through the

STATE SALARIES.
Complete REPUTATION Of DEM
ocracy's Slur at MaiDe's
Servants.

The Maine voter who is getting
ready to lick the end or his lead pencil
deserves to have facts that are unas-
sailable-whether those facts shall in
cline him to the side Of the admins
tration or against it. Those who hold
the keys should be ready at all times
to give an account Of their steward
ship. In the case Of the dominant
party in Maine its managers assert
that they are only too ready to give
such account, their sole care being as
to how they may reach all eyes and
ears. The books Of the State tall the
story-tell the whole story. Hard.
cold. unassailahe facts are 'fggers"
In every instance!
That the Democrats after being SO
utterly waIloped two years ago on
fiances and expenditures should again
charge on the Republicans across that
stony field and against the impregna-
BILE wall Of indisputable statistics Is a
strange evidence of faulty.
MI. DAVIS IN dOSOC1aunS S4Ae IetO1h
of the State Of Maine to its old basis
Of restricted financial expenditure, is
striking blow at our State pride in
legitimate progress and at the satisfy
ing Of actual needs required by our i'm
proved institutions and mode OF hand
ling public utilities. The fact of the
matter Is. Mr.. Davis II put to actual
test Of deeds would not drag the State
back thus on any consideration. for he
ends each speech by a declaration that
If he and his party ever get into pow
err. he proposes to "expand" and build
up" and develop" and so forth ito an
extent" as Spartacus once said, "hith-
erto unknown even in This luxurious
capital"
AS a business man Candidate Davis
knows considerable about the need Of
money in "expanding' and "elevatmg''
and -developing." II he has discov-
cred any method Of doing more bust
ness and at the same time spending
less money. he should give it to the
world.
The fallacy Of Mr.. Davis reasoning
and the unfairness Of his attitude may
be understood bit more clearly when
one has the actual figures at hand
There's the matter of State salaries
which seems to be keeping Candidate
Davis awake nights Just now

that branch of the public service:
INSURANCE DEPARTMENT.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1906-09-05

1t is true that the salaries have been
raised to agree with the progress OF the
times and the increased cost Of labor and
materials. and in this connection it may
be well to remember that in 1852 the wages
of brick mason or plumber was about s. 20
fer y hours work. while it is 500 for s
hours work at this time.
AS to the new departments they
have been added after popular appeal
addressed to the legislature and voted
for by Democratic representatives as
well as Republicans They have all
been strictly in the line Of that prog
ress" that Mr.. Davis and the other
Democratic orators ar now clamouring
for. Is there any office the Democrats
desire to abolish? Can they designate
one State salary that IS too large? Mr.
Davis carefully avoids doing this and
rests his claims Of extravaganza on
mere general allegations
A comparison Of salaries paid to
public officers in Maine with those
paid to similar servants in other states
has frequently been made in the news
papers and in every case to the ad-
vantage of our economy. In some in
stances the salaries paid in Maine for
what is conceded to be singuarly eff
fective public service are SO small as
to be pathetic. 1t is not necessary to
go into details. Any man in Maine
can read the salary list in q Maine
