is 5000. Therefore the ratio of school
children to population is extraordinarily
high. For comparison, we note that
Spokane claims $4,000 population
with a school enrollmedt Of IS, 900,
which is l to S, while the Charleston
ratio approximates one school child to
each ID Of population. This is ac-
counted for by the superior healthful
climate OF the Charleston valley. The
death rate is less Than in 1000.

He said the thaw had made the roads
almost impossible, and in places the
holes were really dangerous. In his
section the ground is bare.
The Troy merchants report the best
holiday trade in the history of the
town. More goods were sold, and the

for Christmas, the town having the ap-
pearance of July celebration.
Johnny S., brother of S. S. and o.
S. Frisk, Of Troy, arrived in Troy

pleasant one. Johnny Frisk was one
of the boys who served under the
Stars and Stripes during the Spanish
American war with the 14th Minnesota
regiment.
The Corn Show held at Moscow re-
Gently was a great success, and did
much to encourage the raising of corn
in this section. The display was
creditable one and beyond the expec-
tations of the promoters. The show is
to be held annually. Eric Olson Of
Nora took prize for Yellow Dent and
Andrew Johnson of this place took
prize for White Dent.
DIR. J. A. Keener, of Moscow Idaho,

to take advantage Of this opportunity
to get fine dental work done. If
J. D. McGry and Charley Munson
met with serious accident while at
tempting to ford Bear creek near
fancy Wednesday. The stream was
so swollen that the team was taken off
their feet and the sleigh turned over.
The tongue was broken out and the
team crawled out few yards down the
creek. Munson was tangled up, hav-
ing got caught by foot in the braces
of the sleigh, but escaped with nothing
more serious than a good wetting, as
did Mr.. McGary. The robes hoated
away down the stream.
Christmas in Troy passed off pleasant
ly and orderly enough except for the
disturbance made by bunch of Mos
COW toughs, whose conduct were not
of character that would add much to
the credit of the town from which they
came nor speak very complimentary of
their raising. Marshal Woodward was
under quarantine at his home and the
toughs took advantage Of the situation
and proceeded to paint the town red.
If such cattle as these fellows are are

Troy The News will publicly advise
decent people to stay at home. So
low are they that their presence would
pollute the air and make the atmosphere
stink, while to mingle with them on a
ball room floor would be travesty on
decency and an insult.
The new addition to Vineland has
been given the highly appropriate
name of Charleston Heights. 1t is ex-

: Archer Speaks In Union.

. AS President E. D. Smith
could not be here Saturday to
speak at meeting of the South
ern Cotto, Association, Hon. E..
L. Arche President of the
Spartanburg Association, spoke
in his place.
Mr.. Archer is a good and sue
cessful farmer: this being true.
he knows how to speak on This
subject. He emphasized the. I'M
portance of educating the farm
ers' child instead of letting him
grow up in ignorance. He said
that it is far better to live off
the grain crop and then to plant
cotton as a surplus. The poor
est man in the country is the
man who with his wife and chill
dren go the field and work all
the time and do not spend
enough time in their home and
at school.
Mr.. Archer said that some
people farm to make cotton,
some to make money, and it
would seem that some of them
farm for the sole aim to make
slaves out of their children.
INSTRUMENTATION is a South
ern one and its purpose is to
teach the farmers how to take
care of their cotton after they

which Humbolt over one hun
dred years ago predicted would
prove to be the richest area of

the globe.
While in Mexico l visited the
San Toy mine. of which Mr.. W.
X. Bells, of Indianapolis, is one
of the principal owners. This
mine is situated in the heart of
the Santa Eulalia and in the i'm
mense underground workings
more ore has already been de-
veloped and blocked out than
three generations can remove.
At this mine a tramway with a
capacity of 1900 tons per day

day of October. l might add
that not a dollars worth of the
stock of this mine is for sale.
Several years ago stock in enessaf nssssaesft;:~

today the stock is worth ten
thousand dollars per share.
However, it must not be { o.
posed that all Mexican mines
are like the ones l have men,

fake mining propositions in
Mexico as anywhere else.

Mr.. Bells bought the mines
about FIVE years ago, but 1t was

estIng Facts About Mexico, ESpeC-
tally Her Mining Industry.
The law firm of Scaife &
Hamblin was dissolved last
week, Mr.. H. L. Scaife with
drawing from the practice at
Union. Mr.. Scaife, when seen
by, q TIMES reporter, stated that
other business connections re-
quired his entire time, making it
necessary for him to give up his
law business at Union. Mr..
Scaife has recently been elected
vice-president and general coun-
sci for a large mining company.
He has also become a member of
the law firm of Deith, Barrios
Gomez & Scaife, 13 Gale de
Cordobanes, Mexico City. This
firm makes speciality of mining
law. Mr.. Deitch is from Indian
apolis and is a lawyer of national
reputation, being the author of
several well known works on the
law of insurance. Senior Barrios
Gomez, who will be the resident
member of the firm in Mexico
City, is member of the Con-
gress of Mexico, and is consid-
cred one of the brightest law
tyers in the Republic.
Mr.. Scaife does not expect to
f}i,I give up his residence in Union,
this place and the Indianapolis
office of the company when not
in Mexico. Mr.. John K. Ham
bin, who has been a partner of
Mr.. Scaife for several years,
will succeed the firm of Scaife &
Hamblin, and will continue the
practice at Union, where he has
built up a fine reputation for
application and ability for so
young man.
The following interview by
Mr.. Scaife in an indianapolis
paper last week will be of inter-
est to his friends:
