CuItivnter Mind and BODY.

Never was the sex making such eff
fort to learn what real womanhood
means as In this era, says Ella Wheel
er Wilcox In the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Physical science and metaphysics are
working together TO create a new body
for woman; or rather to give her an
understanding OF what glorious body
Is hers by right, and how to keep 1t
whole while the spirit needs 1t as a
temple.
The alllng and weak women are de-
creaslng rapidly. Read any novel Of
half century ago and the heroine is
invariably delicate, given to side aches
and swoons Novels reflect the man
ners and customs of the age in which
they are written.
The weak woman is not the type to-
day In fiction or In society. However
many my friends may know In her par
ticular circle the slckly woman is be-
coming ashamed of her weakness, and
she is on the wane.
For the new woman, the woman who
Is, and is to be, will be a threefold
creature, vigorous OF body, vital Of
mind, radiant of spirit, and she is here
to-day. Tomorrow she will rule the
world

EXCELLENT COAL PROSPECTS
Much Interest Aroused in Deposits
Around Ashland.

The recent work in developing the
various coal prospects found in the vi
cinity of Ashland, Oregon, has met
with so much success and has attracted
such widespread attention that it prom
ses to insure sufficient perseverance in
work along this line to determine the
real extent of the coal deposits which,
beyond doubS, exist in. this section.
There is no question about the coal be-
ing found and the quality of it, but
there are skeptics as to the extent OF
the deposits. The scarcity and high
price of wood for fuel has prompted and
encouraged the coal prospecting to a
large extent, and the opening up of
coal beds Of ample extent would be
welcome solution of the fuel problem,
which is serious one and promises to
be more serious before another winter
is over. The inability to secure wood
choppers during the past year OF two
has greatly curtailed the wood output
and has resulted in soaring prices.
Recently no less than two represent
atives of the Hartman railroad inter-
ests have been in Ashland looking up
the developments of coal prospects in
the immediate vicinity of Ashland, and
have made a personal Investigation to
report to headquarters, which shows
the general interest that is being felt
in local developments.

"Wheat and hay constitute about
one-t third the value OF all crops. While
general farming is somewhat more de-
veoped than in the Rocky Mountain
states, the grazing OF livestock Ia still
one OF the principal industries. Ger
tain areas in Oregon, Washington and
California furnish ideal conditions OF
soil and climate for the production OF
hops. These three states produce two
thirds of the product OF the United
States.
"rbe Cascade mountains divide this
region, DRAMATICALLY and agriculturally,
into two parts. Between the Cascade
mountains and the Coast range are fer
tile, well-watered valleys, already
thickly populated. Upon the western
coast, owing to the Japan current, the
temperature is tho most equsble In
North America. The climate is moro
like England than that Of any other
part Of the United States.
The soils are msstly Of a volcanic
origin and are unusually fertile and en-
during. The prsiries consist OF an ex-
panse Of rolling hills. The layout OF
the farms and general aspect OF the
improvements are similar to those in
the newer portions Of the North Cen
trail states. The people are mostly
native-born Americans from the older
settled states. There is general air
of hopefulness and prosperity among
them.
"There are still 80, 100000 acres Of
and unreserved public
lands ready for entry in this region.
While some of this Is forest land and
some is arid, this region probably con-
tains the best large body Of public yet
open for settlement in the United
Staies."
Oregon, Washington and Idaho are
credited with about 80, 600 farms. The
urea in farms is about $4,000, 900
acres, the improved area being about
J, 100000 acres for the three states.
The average size Of the farms is trihs
over 250 acres, and the average size Of
improved farnp is nearly 100 acres.
The state Of Oregon alone has about
!, 100000 acres Of land in farms and
anches, which is estimated to be worth
bout $13 per acre.

WRITES OF OREGON.
Sidelights on Beaver State oy Pro-
fessor of Cornell.

In his recent book on "How to
Choose a Farm, With Discussion of
American Lands" Professor Thomas F.
Hunt, OF Cornell university, devotes
several complimentary paragraphs to
farming conditions If the Pacific North
west and to the resosercs OF Oregon In
particular. Professor Hunt accompa-
MES his descriptions with tables OF sta
tistics which throw several interesting
sidelights on the conditions existing in
the Beaver State.
''This region is characterized by its
immense forest resources, its fishing
Industries, and the high production of
wheat by dry farming in the eastern
part of Washington and along the Co
lumbia river in Oregon" writes Pro-
fessor Hunt OF Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. "One-third Of the area is
covered by forests OF immense CONNER
cial value, while at least one fifth more
is covered by trees of less importance.
In Western Oregon and Washington
are to be found millions Of acres OF the

EXPERIMENTS WITH HYBRIDS.
Pullman Station Develops New vari-
cites of Wheat.

The Washington State college eIper-
iment station at Pullman has brought
line of experiments with Little Club
and White Track wheat to point
where definite statements concerning
results can be given. These hybridiza-
ton experiments were begun in 1899
by Professor E. E. Elliott. One long
headed variety which is now growing
in the eighth generation produces more
straw than any ether hybrid heretofore
grown on the station farm. Because of
this and that it will withstand cold
nearly as well as Jones' Fife, the sta
tion staff believes it will be we'll adapt
ed to the dry section included in the
greater portion of the Big Bend country.
A length of six inches and 100 grains
to the head is not unusual in this
variety.
Another hybrid 10 remarka BILE for the
stiffness of the straw. On tho farm a
plot Of Red Russian and Arcadian were
cut to the ground by squirrels, while
the hybrid variety was left uninjured.
The stem grows too short to be suitable
for dry land, but it is the most stable
variety yet produced and in several in
stances produced 60 bushels per acre.
A long stem hybrid has the peculi-
arity of growing with surprising uni
formity Of height, and the staff say this
wheat should be we'll adapted to thresh-
ing with combined harvester. The
evenness in length, and the fact that
il skaters but little, makes it one Of
the most desirable hybrids brought out
on the college farm.

SCORE WAS Sc To 26

The Canton basketball team drop

of Sc to 26. The brilliant shooting of
the visitors was a feature, and the
game was filed with sensational
shots. Canton was still without a

sition The Liverpool team almost
outclassed the Canton team ana scor-
ed nearly at will, although at times
Liverpool realized that Canton was
right in the game. Each member OF
the local team played a hard game
but were handicapped by the lack of
teamwork and were able to make but
few long shots, while on the other
hand Liverpool dropped in pretty long
ones with clock-like regularity. Low
ry scored the first basket after but
few seconds Of play and It looked as
though Canton would give them a
good hustle. At the beginning of the
second half Canton again took brace,
but it was of no use.

ket shooting, the former getting IL

game was fairly clean, the majority of
