Illustrating Child Nature.

An accident occurred last week in
this city that illustrates the love and
Kindness that exists in the ordinary
child nature Cor its playmates and
pets.
One day late last week dot" Baker
the 3-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Baker, was sitting in q
second story window, holding a cal
I'm her lap. The screen suddenly gave
way and the screen, cat and child
went crashing to the ground below
In an instant she was on her feet and
looking for kitty. The cats absence
caused a quiver on the little ones
lips, and with a little sob asked, as
kitty hurt?' After being assured that
II was not she soon assumed her usua
mien and toddled off to the hous,
uninjured and happy.-La Grandt

Convicts on Washington Roads.

A trial of convict labor on the coun-
ty roads will be made by the commits
sioners of Lewis county, Wash, this
summer. About Is of the states
prisoners will be used in preparing
crushed rock and other road material
The stockade where the convicts will
be kept is being built about 10 miles
from Chehalis, on the South Bend
branch of the Northern Pacific. I'm
der the law the only way the state
can work convicts on road material is
to arrange that the counties buy the
road material ht a price that will
cover the cost, which includes the
maintenance of the prisoners. An at
tempt will be made to transfer the
convicts from the penitentiary al
Walla Walla free of charge, which
would make a saving of about $500
to the state and county

Cox Mnkes Rich Strike.

Something of sensation was cre-
ated in mining circles yesterday when
C. c. Cox, the well known prospector
and Goose creek copper miner, re-
ported new strike in the Pine creek
district about 20 miles from Baker
City which is remarkable in several
respects.
Mr., Cox says that he has located
five claims on the ledge which carries
asbestos, kaolin. graphite and free
gold quartz. The gold quartz vein
lies between the kaolin formation on
one side and the graphite and asbes-
tos on the other. All of the minerals
run high In values and Mr.. Cox has al
ready bonded his property to Portland
brokers.-Baker city Democrat.

Seventeen Peach Crops In is Years

Seventeen Peach Crops In IS Years.
j. NJ. Hopper, of Midvale, Idaho, is
an enthusiast in peach raising and
threw out a few suggestions as fol-
lows to the Weiser World:
Mr.. Hooper has raised II crops OF
peaches in Is years, and his success
gives him authority to talk of peaches,
He says his orchard is at the mouth
of cove where there are cool breezes
every night, and no frost In fact, It
takes a freeze to get a frost, he says.
His theory is that the cold air of the
mountains being heavier than the air
in the valleys, hurts rather than helps
the trees and the fruit. The air in
the valleys heats. he says, and is con-
stantly stirring. In the valleys the
thermometer registers 20 degrees less
In winter and summer than in the
mountains he says. Mr.. Hooper ad-
vises against the planting of peach
trees on high or low ground and ad-
vocatcs planting on medium ground

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.



The Observer was informed through
the president of the company F. j.
Holmes, that at the October term of
the circuit court the M. & NJ. company
would foreclose their mortgage which
they hold against the fair grounds,
amounting in all to about $1,000.
Mr. Holmes stated that nothing would
be done until after the present fair
was held.
This resolves itself down to the fact
that something must be done and that
in the immediate future or Union
county will have no fair grounds.
These grounds consist of 60 acres of
land which valued ffrofm the selling
price of adjoining land is worth easily
$50 per acre and possibly none could
be secured at this price. The i'm
provements viewed from fair stand
point are worth at least $4,000 or Il
total value of $4,000. Mr.. Holmes
states that he does not like the idea
of Union county losing this valuable
property and would meet any kind of
proposition half way with view OF
maintaining the grounds. If 1t is ad-
visahle to have county fair annu-
ally, this property is too valuable to
be PERMITTED to pass away. 1t is now
up TO some pubic-spirted person OF
persons to take hold of this PROPOSE
tion and reorganize the financial
problem which seems capable OF
easy adjustment. Who will do 1t?
The Observer would be pleased to re-
ceive expressions from any who might
have suggestions of value to Offer

Wheat Yielding 30 Bushels

Farmers around Prescott are har-

grain is running pretty light but as
only about 90 per cent of the acreage
was seeded to spring wheat the loss
VIII be significant as far as the

NEAR LAKEWOOD
Twenty Eight Hundred Acres Will
Be Divided Into Small Tracts and
Sold to a Party of HoIlanders.

Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the
Treasury, yesterday telegraphed his
acceptance of a proposition to buy
$500 acres of land in the Pecos Val
ley. The land is in one body near
Lakewood. It was selected by DR.. c.
L. Parsons, of Roswell, and the Sc
lection approved by George w. Mich
olson, of Grand Junction, Ia, and j.
H. Bower, formerly of Iowa, but now
making his headquarters at st. Paul,
as general land agent for the North
ern Pacific Railroad. These men were
here two weeks ago, as agents for
Secretary Shaw, and made trip to
Lakewood with DIR. Parsons.
Secretary Shaw asked his friend,
DR.. Parsons, to look for good invest
ment for him when the doctor first
came to the Pecos Valley some
months ago. This purchase is the re
suit. Secretary Shaw will sell the land
out in small tracts to party of Hol
landers, who are already preparing
to move on it. They will make good
citizens and valuable additions to the
population of the Pecos Valley.

At Kansas City. Kansas, Armour

At Kansas City, Kansas, Armour
dale and Argentine much damage was
suffered by the railroads, wholesale
and packing houses. Several families
had to be taken from their homes by
firemen. At Kansas City, Kan, light
ming wrecked the front of a Catholic
church, and a small commission house
was undermined and collapsed.
The freight houses of the Rock
Island and U. P. roads in the West
bottoms were flooded, and traffic tenn
porarily stopped The shops of these
roads were also flooded and work
stopped for an hour or so.
Water entered the Easements of
the packing plants of Armour & Co.,
Swift & Co., and Schwarzchild &
Sulzberger, and it was necessary to
pump it out. The water drained off
was slight. Argentine families were
forced from their homes in the bot
toms, but returned to them soon Sub
urban street car traffic in Kansas Ci-
ty was tied up for several hours.

RUNAWAY BOX CARS
Struck BY Engine at kiowa.-Engine
and Cars Badly Wrecked.-Train De
Iayed Nine Hours.

A tramp riding on the cow-catcher
of the head engine on the delayed ex-
cursion train that came in last night
WIS literally cut to pieces yesterday
when the train ran into three box
cars that got loose and ran from a
switch to the main track at Kiowa,
Kansas. When the body was picked
up both legs were found to have been
severed and the head cut almost in
twain from top to bottom, one side
of the face being missing. His identi-
ty was not discovered up to the time
the train left for Roswell.
When the train ran into the cars,
there was smash-up that caused con-
siderable wreckage. The three box
cars were demolished. The head eng
inc, though not broken up to any ex-
tent, was put out of commission. The
engineer and fireman of the front en-
CINE jumped and saved themselves,
although both were crippled up as
result of the jump. 1t took nine hours
to clear the track and that was what
caused the train to be so much later
than was reported. 1t arrived in Ros-
well at four o'clock this morning and
was so late into Carlsbad it could
not get back as the north bound train
today until 10 a. m.
The excursion train consisted OF
eleven coaches and they were well
filled with prospectors. The Walker
& Davisson Company had AZ prospect
ors, not counting their agents. Other
companies have not reported.

resembled a political gathering. May
be it was because Judge Evans was
sitting up front. "Howe'er it be-
there were always three or four peo-
pie who could hardly wait to say
their speeches.
The first point taken up by Miss
Rodkey was "Carelessness." When
she said the order of the room and
the teachers desk, betokened in
great part, the character of the teach
ing, that made quite number of the
teachers squirm, and ELECTED many
questions and remarks made from
personal experiences. When she said
that the way the children kept their
belongings in order at school, told
the character of the homes from
which they came~that made the mo-
theirs wriggle. Superintendent Reid
was so touched that he took the floor
and advocated very strongly the i'm
portance of teaching orderliness and
cleanliness, and illustrated it by a
good story. His regard for the truth,
however, would not allow him to sit
down without confessing that his
wife had been trying for forty years
to teach him to keep his shoes clean.
While this somewhat destroyed his
previous argument, it set the Insti-
tute into a gale of merriment.
Another thing Miss Rodkey said,
that if every parent in Roswell would
keep continually before their eyes,
would make children and some "big
folks" far happier, "Do not keep up
a continual nagging."
She spoke also of sarcastic words,
| how deeply they wound and how per
manently they abide. When Miss Rod
key came to the next topic, "Lazi
ness" she quoted from Col. Parker
to the effect that There are no Ia
zy children" This statement will be
a godsend to the mothers who have
| about exhausted the plea of Johnnie
being such delicate boy, he cannot
work" When the Colonel further cit
ed instances of famous men who
were called lazy boys, Prof. Rodgers
hit the nail on the head and gave us
a good laugh wnen ne asked in his
| inimitable manner, what about the
millions of others who were called
lazy and who have never been heard
| from?"
Prof. Vaughan gave several in
stances to show it is often not case
of laziness, but, lack of ability.
| Miss Rodkey deduced from it al
that it was not well to condemn 6
boy too hastily. The writer would al
so add that it depends on how bis
| a boy is whether it is safe to cal
him lazy or not. He might show yol
a surprising agility
Prof. Vauhan closed the session
with another good talk on Physiolog.

Kansas City, Aug. ga terrific
rain storm prevailed in Kansas City
and this vicinity early this morning
causing more or less damage. In Kan
sas City 5.93 inches of water fell, a
record for the time three hours and
a half. The low lying lands were
flooded, and the police and fire de-
partments were called upon to res
cue persons in the north end of
town and in the east and west bot
toms, where the water entered many
houses.
At Elmwood cemetery serious dam
age was done. Practically the entire
cemetery grounds were flooded, and
in the lower ground a strong current
was formed. This resulted in the
washing out of dozen graves. AT
least two hundred bodies were ex
posed. Two brick buildings in the
outskirts were undermined and col
lapsed. They were unoccupied and nc
one was hurt. A lumber yard con
tanning several thousand feet of fin
ished lumber was washed away
