DRY FARMERS WILL
 ASSEMBLE IN UTAH
Trans Missouri Congress Will Meet
 in Salt Lake City in January. Gov ernor kibbey Will Appoint Dele
 gates.

Governor kibbey has received a let ter from the executive committee of the Trans Missouri Dry Farming Con- gress. enclosing the official call for the second annual convention of the con- gress which will be held in Salt Lake City. January 2S-26, 1908, inclusive. He is asked to name delegates to the con- vention and will probably do so as he considers it one of the few of these big interstate congresses which may be made of great practical benefit 10 this territory. Arizona is possessed of a vast acreage that may be made pro ductive through Judicious dry farming and too much cannot be known con corning that growing industrial idea. The objects of the congress are: The consideration of the best methods of rendering the lands of the semi-arid west productive where ditch irrigation is impracticable; the determination of dhe best agricultural methods where crop and live stock farming is practice able; to encourage the establishment of experimental farms to determine the limitations of scientific sorr culture and seed selection. these farms to be oper- ated under the direction of state and federal experiment stations or private enterprise; to assist the prospective settler in every practical way to deter mine what land under scientific soil culture methods is susceptible of crop production. to encourage the use of every conservative practical method for developing the semi-arid regions of America.
 The representation provided for is
 as follows: Each governor. ten and not more than twenty delegates; mayor
 of each city, five and not more than ten; national and state agricultural as-
 sOciations. not more than five; rail-
 road companies not more than four: commercial bodies. two delegates each. Senators. congressman, governors, secretary of agriculture. and assist ants. officers of agricultural colleges ! and of L. s. experiment stations. state engineers. members of state land boards. etc. are entitled to member ship by reason of their offices.

"BRoWN OF HARVARD"

GA Belasco and Schubert Productien.)
 Henry Woodruff comes to the Dor ris Opera House on Saturday. Decem- Der H. in Brown of Harvard" the bright and breezy college play which ran for over three hundred nights at the Princess theater in New York and at the Garrick theater in Chicago. It is the first college play to be a faith ful reflection of daily life at America's oldest university. While appealing particularly to Harvard men Tn whom college traditions are more deeply root ed perhaps than in the graduates of any other American institution. 1t is scarcely less interesting to anyone who boasts of an alma mater. The sports, the youthful life in this play are what every man who has gone to college has seen or enjoyed in greater or less de- gree. The play is filled with the spir- it of youth. which is probably the best explanation of it's success. Il Is acted by young men and women all of whom are but recently out of college them selves. They are still inspired by the ambitions and enthusiasm winch help ed them through school. For this req
 son playing in Brown of Harvard is simply living over again incidents still fresh in their memory. MT, Woodruff. himself is a Harvard man, having graduated with high honors with the class of '9S. The story Of Brown of Harvard" concerns boat race between the varsity eight and d crew from an English college. the contest taking place on the Charles river. The climax of~the play is the scene representing the race in the third act when Tom Brown. (played by MT. Woodruff, steps into the Harvard shell at the last moment after the stroke oar. under force of plot laid by a rascally alum nus, refuses to enter the contest. The race and attendant incidents are said 10 be among the most skillfully and ef- fectively centrived of the many of this same general kind that nave been pre- sented from time to time. At the end of this act is what must be called a double climax. which is not only sur prising but is almost electrical in it's effect. The first and last acts take place in the room of Tom Brown in Holworthy hall. This scene is almost an exact reproduction of a room occu- pied by Mir. Woodruff when at Har- ward. The second act shows a shady spot in Harvard yard between Hol- worthy and Stoughton. a scene which will be recognized instantly by anyone who has ever been in Cambridge. The production. is remarkably complete in detail and characteristic in atmosphere. facts due largely to Henry Miller's skill in stage management. Prices: s2. s1.50. sl. soc; box seats. s2.50.

THE MOST PROSPEROUS
 YEAR FOR RANCHERS
Mr. Clark, Who Has Been in the Val ley Eighteen Years, Adds His Tes- timony.

That this year has been one of the best in his eighteen years in the val ley for the raising of alfalfa, is the opinion of w. c. Clark, a rancher who owns sixty acres four miles west of this city. He thinks that this state ment will be borne out by the major ity of the ranchers in the valley. This is due he concludes to improved water service and other favoring conditions. Quoting from his own experience he says on forty acres of his ranch he has cut two crops besides pasturing sixty five head of stock all year The two crops totaled about eighty tons or S96O, at the average price Of SIP per ton. The remainder of the crops were consumed by his stock, from which however he thinks he has received an ample return. The thirty-four COWS which he has been milking the past season have brought in d gross sum of $l96 per month and g., $50 for the year. approximately. This sum was realized from the sale of butter fat. The milk received back was fed to the stock and added to the total value. the ex- act figures on which would be difficult 10 get.
 MI. tidlh lS OI lllt bplliitlA llldl Oil forty acres from turkeys alone dili- gent poultry man who understands the business can clea clear easily s700 a year. He has had some experience with poultry on his place and 1t mas practic ally paid the grocery bill all the year. Twenty turkeys which were recently sold from his place brought the sum of $36.S0. The sixty acres has support ed from fifty 10 sixty turkeys this year at very little outlay of money as most Of the feed was produced in one way and another on the ranch.
 Mir. Clark is a HOosier by birth but has been in different states in his life time. His eighteen years here have convinced him that the Salt river val ley is the richest and the most profit able dairying and stock raising section in the United States.

From me London DdiiB era phic.
Women do not disappear 10 much a. men, !"
said Mr.. Hartley. an int irrational detective,
who was interviewed in reference to a mys-
terious disappearance which IL now attracting
much public attention.
When a woman goes n il usInlly \ love

or there Is some other cause. And il Ia inn

work ! am very sceptical OF women for this

or some one sent by him TO meet her, and
it, would he a very simple matter for her TO
give her friends the slip in n crowded 81 rect.
OF course very often We get cases Of sudden
loss OF memory happening 10 people who are
in the best Of health and spirits. but one
rarely finds this occur 10 a Young girl. and
where the tendency does exist the family
or friends usually know Of 10 and keep watch
accordingly. Again. IL il possible a girl does
not like the prospect Of going home after she
has been away for a holiday. and some one
with whom she was in touch might assist her
In carrying out a plan Of her own.
"Disa ppearances are very common not only
in London slt in Paris and New York. but
the public seldom heard Of them, Not only
girls but old men and others disappear.
Generally these are not cases Of Kidnapping;
they had 10 do with family or business matters.
and as the families as q rule did not wish the
police to know the circumstances they em-
plOyed private detectives. Thus the outside
world does not get to know of half Of the
disa ppea frances and their causes.
Crime sometimes enters into these sudden
disappearances. A cool headed man Of the
world who has committed theft or felony
either in business OF private life will take Il
into his head to disappear and make n fresh
start In life somewhere else. A few years
ago a gentleman whose family was high in
the social world vanished. He had been sus-
pected Of robbing his brother-in-law during a
period OF pressure in the latter's business.
The victim knew that If he informed the police
his brother-in-llaw would stand in dan ger OF
being prosecuted. so he handed the case over
70 me. II was proved that the man had act
ually been robbing him right and left. but for
the sake Of his wife he was allOwed-and even
assisted to disappear.
"A husband walked out OF his fat in Maryle-
bone one day and was not heard of. His wife
searched for three months herself. then came
to me. She knew her husband could not have
endured hardship or adventure. because he
was physically unable to do much for himself.
II was a troublesome case. but eventually l
found the husband in "A nursing home. What
