Isaac-Conlbs.

1t is said that coming events cast
their shadows. This quotation was
fully verified Thursday night at near
the hour of midnight, when William
Isaac and Mrs. S. r. Combs of our
city, were united in marriage by DR..
w. ]. Boone, at their residence. The
Tribune had bunch that this event
would be pulled off in the near future,
but like many of Mr.. lsaac's friends,
was taken by surprise, and it was
only by accident that this family jour
nal discovered that the happy event
was to take place at this time, by
seeing a gang of young men who
were over 81 years of age, pass along
the street. when inquiry was made,
and the information impaired that
they were going TO chrivari Billie

Thursday Evening.

Thursday Evening.
Thursday evening brought the COM
mencement exercises to a close for
the year 1907. College commence
ment in Caldwell is always sure to
draw a crowd to the opera house and
this year was no exception. Not
withstanding the close, Sultry atmos-
phere which had prevailed during the
day, the crowd commenced gathering
early and long before the time had
arrived for the exercises to begin, the
spacious auditorium was filled to its
utmost capacity. The stage was dec
Grated with the class colors and was
occupied by the 10 graduates and the
college faculty. Graduating exer-
cises as general proportion, are not
sufficiently interesting to hold the at
tention of an audience but this oc-
casiOn was an exception to the rule.
In the opinion of the Tribune the ex-
ere ses just ended were the most in
teresting of any previous effort since
the college was established. There
was not a single Grafton but showed
a depth of thought on the part of the
student. Then again, there was fin
ish in the manner of delivery that
commanded the attention of the en-
tire audience. These improvements
that were so noticeable, must neces-
saril be credited largely to the fac
ulty of the college, Notwithstanding
that they had good material with

Is true that DR.. Boone was ably sec
onded in his efforts, by number
of Caldwelrs progressive citizens,
yet, at any time if he had shown the
paltry flag of fear, the chances are
that the College of Idaho would been

the leading educational institution
in the state,

necessary that larger buildings be
erected and more and better facili-
ties be provided. in order that the
school may cont nue. to hold its pres
ent enviable position, with other like
institutions in the state. The Tribune
understands that there is propos-
ton pending whereby the College OF
Idaho can get an endowment of
$500, 900, providing that $4,000 ad
ditional be raised by the friends of
the College this does not necessarily
imply that this money must all be
subscribed in Caldwell, but it may
come from any source wherever
available. This proposition will
doubtless be brought before our peo-
pie in the near future. The Tribune
has no hes tation in predicting. that
as Caldwell has never failed to meet
a demand when called on, for an OBJ
ject that promises to be of benefit to
her, so in this case she will respond
with the usual liberality.

DRY FARMING IS
 NOW THE THING

From the Canadian border on the north to the Rio Grande on the south, and from the Rocky mountains west ward almost to the sea, lies that great strip of land known to geographers as arid America. Twelve hundred miles long and thirteen hundred miles wide. it comprises an area equal to about one-third of that continental United States. exclusive of Alaska. Here lies vast domains of public lands, coo 600 900 acres in all, besides rail road grants and school lands. and 7o,000,000 of these acres are known as desert land.
 Yet in this desert country there lie. SO scientists and practical farmers tell us, the possibilities for fulfilling the old Biblical prophecy that the waste places may be made glad and that the desert will blossom as a rose, writes Frederic J. Haskin in the Pitts burg Dispatch. It will need no mira cle to prove this, and little outside influence to bring 1t about. It will mean only a scientific use ofe the material nature already has at hand. This method by which the desert land IS to be redeemed is known as dry farming, and its principle is the very simple one of Conserving every parti- cle of moisture that falls during the year, not in large reservoirs or be- hind expensive concrete dams, but in the soil itself. A year before 8 crop is to be planted the farm land is Dlowed deeply by special machinery. Strong disc blows not only pulyeriZing the subsoil but pack it into firm bed through which the conserved wa ter may not sink, and through which the excessive salts which usually lie four or five feet below the surface may not rise by evaporation to burn and blight vegetation.
 On this subsoil the surface is pull yerized to such fine ness by special machinery that it seems it must nave been done by the fingers. This makes a mulch through which rain and melted snow may percolate to rest on the packed subsoil beneath, but through which no moisture can rise. It demonstrates the physical law of capillary attraction, for moisture most easily rises through moist channels, just as oil rises more quickly in a lamp wick that has been saturated with oil than it does in dry wick. Lecturers in demonstrating their theo- " have represented the damp subsoil with a lump of loaf sugar sprinkled over with powdered sugar. When the lump is wet the powder remains dry.
 The pioneer dry farmer of America, and of the world, for that matter, was H. W. Campbell of Lincoln, Nebraska. Over twenty years ago he evolved this theory, and having the courage of his convictions put it into practice. From the James to the Arkansas river ne has tried it on all former waste places and has made good. Others have fol- lowed, in the wake of the Spanish bayonet, the yucca.

MUSIC FOR LONG
 BEACH GHAUTAUQUA

LONG BEACH, Calif, June IT, Special Correspondence)-It has al ways been the ambition of the Long Beach chautauqua management to make music one of the most attrac- tive and most valuable features of each program. To that end Prof Hen Try Schoenfeld, well known as one ot the leaders in matters musical for the entire southwest, has been given charge of the two principal concerts, and this fact is sufficient warrant for the assertion that they will be notable events in the musical history of this section.
 The first of these concerts will be given in the auditorium on the evening of July IS, and for it Prof. Schoenfeld has secured such noted singers as Mr Thomas Treyer, tenor, and Mir. Rob ert Pritchard. baritone. With them will appear the popular fayorites- Miss Fanny Dillon, pianist, and NIT. WenzeI Kopta. violinist. Prof. Schoen- field will also assist, making an array of talent such as has seldom been seen together on a similar occasion here.
 For the feature of the second con cert. to be given in the auditorium on the evening of July 26, the united Ger man male chorusss of Los Angeles have been secured. In this combina- tion will be found the best talent of such organizations as the Fidelia, Ar ion and Germania clubs, all of whom have been working together under the direction of Prof. Schoenfeld. Their work is of so high an order of merit that a well known critic recently said he had heard nothing so good west of Cincinnati and that means there is no better. With them will appear as soloists Mrs Beatrice Hubbell Plum mer, soprano, and Mir Charles Bowls, basso. It is safe to say that this will be the most brilliant musical evening of the year in southern California, and 1t alone will repay those who attend the chautauqua sessions.
 In addition to these, MT. Bruce Cor don Kingsley will give a Parsifal re cital which will be noteworthy of it. self, and Miss Louise Williams will fill in an afternoon with a charming study of the music and folklore of the south. Better talent than ever be- fore has been secured for the pFeludes so it is safe to promise a continuous treat for music lovers through the en- tire chautauqua session.

wheat, corn, alfalfa, barley. grasses, fruits and vegetables are springing up in most satisfactory and lavish fash ion. The secret of the success lies in the fact that the dry farmer must never stop work In the older fields of the East and the South there are periods of incidence that follow the laying by time,' or the harvest, and the farmer may turn his thoughts to barbecues, fishing excursions or sim ply go lie out under the trees and fol- low Riley's plan of seeing "jes' how lazy he kin be-"
 Not SD with the sturdy man who goes to conquer the land of the West. Even as eternal vigilance is the ac- knowledged price of peace, so Is ufe less industry the price of his prosper ity. The minute few drops of rain fall he is out in his field with disc harrow to stir the soil and powder It 50 fine that the moisture may not rise again. He stirs 1t this way for year before he plants his seeds. He stirs it while the seeds are sprouting until he is in danger of injuring the germi- hating plant, and ceases only when the plants are large enough to make protecting shade for the soil. The minute the crop is cut he does not sit idle and think of his profits on that crop. Instead, he follows the harvest CT that same day with subsoil blows and has his land all ready for the next planting, letting it lie fallow until then.
 Modern invention has come to the aid of the dry farmer. Giant machines minimize time and labor for him. Across the unbroken, virgin soil of the prairie a 30-horsepower engine passes dragging in its wake an az gregation of agricultural machinery that includes twelve 1-4 inch blows, two iron rollers, two clod crushers, two seed drills and other necessary things It leaves behind it stretch of brown, pulyerized soil in which the seeds lie hidden for the coming crop.
 This giant prepares and seeds thirty five acres of land in working day of ten hours at cost of about 90 cents an acre. By the old method the time would have been many days, and with horses as motive power would have cost s per acre.
 The ordinary farmer on the plains plants forty quarts of wheat to the acre and has return of anywhere from nothing to twenty bushels. The dry farmer plants twelve quarts Of wheat, practices care, intelligence and endless cultivation, and has a. return of from thirty-five to fifty-six bushels an acre. It is clasmed by advocates of dry farming that these methods in Kansas would have raised her 1905 yield of twelve and half bushels an acre to thirty-seyen. They also claim that 1 per cent of the money spent on irrigation were eXfNnded iR the teach ing of dry farming, 500,000,000 acres of desert land could be scientifically reclaimed. The dry farmers do not disapprove of irrigation.

DOUGLAS ASSESSMENT.

City Assessor Jack Sparks. with a corps of assistants, is busy today on the finishing work of the assessment of the property in the city of Douglas. The assessment of property in this city is a formidable job of work and it has required a great deal of time to correctly list the property.
 It is expected that the final total of valuation will be reached next Mon day and Mr. Sparks is of the opinion that it will be very near to <2. 200 ,09ee. which would be a gain over last year of $400. 0.000.
 Valuations have not been fixed ma terially higher than last year but the increase in the assessment Is account ed for in the large number of new buildings which were erected between the time of the last assessment and the beginning of the present one Douglas International-American.

A GOOD SADDLE.
Except In the South and West, Most
 Riders Take What Is Offered.


 Riders Take What Is Offered.
 A we'll known horseman in speaking of the sport of riding in the United States recently said:
 Although there are number of good riders In this country, very few men, except in the west and south seem to know or care much about the saddle-that is, the way 1t is built. They simply take what their dealer gives them. In England it is usual for riders to have their saddles made to order, and they generally know wbat to order too.
 "A good saddle fits both the horse and the man. It should be roomy ey- anywhere and especially so in the pan els if you are heavy. The throat should not be so narrow gs to cause pain or so wide as to wabble. Plain flaps are most comfortable and businesslike. \ felt pad or at least good saddlecloth should always he used. and to give q trim appearance it should be cut to the outlines of the saddle. It should be frequently washed and stunned Stir rups should he open. wide and heavy. so that the feet can be readily freed in case of spill
 "A proper fitting saddle will stick with very loose girths, and you can find whcrc it fits by walking the horse around q few minutes before mounting with the girtlis unbuckled. The horse will shift tic saddle to the exact place where it is most comfortable. When through with your ride. remove the saddle at once and bathe the back with cold water. following this, if possible, with an alcohol shampoo. Cleveland Plain Dealer

The best case which I have seen of law versus justice and common sense is one which Montaigne relates as hay ing happened in his own day. Some men were condemned to death for murder. The judges were then inform ed by the officers of an inferior court that certain persons in their custody had confessed themselves guilty of the murder in question and had told so cir cumstantial tale that the fact was placed beyond all doubt Nevertheless, it was deemed so bad precedent to revoke sentence and show that the law could err, that the innocent men were delivered over to execution.-Lon- don Graphic.
