Houston, Va, June 26.-In the Low
ing case to-day, Judge Barksdale de-
cided to admit a hypothetical question
of the defense, as TO the result of
Sneed's and Miss Loving's stories en-
the defendants mind. DR.. Charles l..
Emmons, a Washington specialist, an
swering the question, said the natural
effect of such a story on a fathers
wind would be to derange It.

After the examination of three wit

Judge Loving insane at the time of
the killing of Theodore Estes, the de-

AID TO "DRY FARMINa."
Washington State College Conducting
Extensive Experiments.

The problem Of "dry farming" now
before the farmers Of the semi.arid re.
gions Of the Pacific Northwest has been
taken up by the Experiment Station Of
Washington, and it is hoped to work
out a method Of farming for these re-
gions which will increase their crop
bearing capacity. The present opera.
tions OF experimentation are largely
relative to the physics Of soils, and are
in charge Of Professor H. B. Berry, soil
physicist Of the State college. Dis
,ussing this problem, Mr.. Berry stated;
Among the questions which we
must answer are: What Is the best
method of conserving soil moisture2
What is the value Of disking the sum-
merfallow early in the spring before it
can be plowed? What is the value OF
the sub-surface packer? II the crop
suffers from drouth, is it because there
is not sufficient moisture in the soil, or
is it because the plants cannot take the
moisture from the soil7
In the former case we must endeavor
to devise cultural method to conserve
moisture; and in the latter case, we
must develop strain Of plants that
can take moisture from the soil, which
is plant breeding problem.

Figs Thrive In Polk County.

Figs as large and perfectly developed
as those raised in the most favored por.
tion of California are grown at the town
home Of Mrs. E. F. Lucas, in Mon
mouth. Specimens Of the fruit were
brought to Dallas by Mrs. Martha Cos
per, who had been visiting in the nor
NAL school town. The figs were Of de-
licious flavor and we're far superior to
the California fruit usually found in
the Oregon markets.
Mrs. Lucas tree is seven years old,
the cutting having been brought from
California in 1900. The tree is making
luxuriant growth and has already
reached height Of IL feet. Three
crops Of fruit are borne each year. The
specimens brought to Dallas by Mrs.
Cosper included ripe and green fruit
of the second crop and half grown fruit
of the third crop. The tree has been
in bearing four years.

NORTHWEST HoNoRED.
Professor Elliott. of W. s. c., Con.
tributes to CycIopedia.

1t Is we'll known that Prof. L. Fl.
Bailey, oi Cornell university, has been
working for three years past on an ex-
tensive publication to be known as The
American Cyclopedia Of Agriculture.
This is to be published In several vol
umes and 1t is expected that it will be
accepted by the reading public as the
standard reference work on rural affairs.
1t has been many years since such
work has been attempted and nothing
OF such an extensive nature has ever
been undertaken before in America.
Professor Bailey has called to his aid
the best known writer's on agriculture
throughout the entire country, who
have written up the various subjects on
which they were recognized as authori-
ties. The entire work may be referred
to as the combined efforts Of the agri-
cultural specialists Of America and
when published will no doubt find
place in the library Of most progressive
farmers.
1t is significant that when it came to
the very important subject Of wheat
that Professor Bailey recognized the
great Northwest and Its place as one Of
the leading wheat producing regions by
calling on Professor E. e. Elliott, head
of the Agricultural department at the
State college Of Washington, to prepare
this most important article. This has
been done by Prof. Elliott and the mat
ter is now in the hands Of the publish
ers. The article in question consists Of
about ten thousand words, with numer-
GUS illustrations, and would be suffi-
cient in itself to make quite book If
published separately. II covers the
entire subject Of wheat production in
America and at the same time atten-
tion is particularly called to the great
regions Of the Northwest where the pro-
duction and quality Of this cereal have
placed it in the forefront. Our wheat
growers are to be congratulated in the
fact that the article in question has
been prepared by ene so familiar with
the subject and who is doing 80 much
to advance the industry throug the
work being done by his department at
the state experiment station and at the
various cereal stations established in
the state as we'll as through the wheat
producers organization which was mi.
tiated by him.

CHAPTER x

The travellers had scarce time to con-
ceal themselves ere several knocks on the
door warned the landlord that the mystic
rious guests he expected were beginning
to arriv.
The door was hardly ajar ere several
men burst into the inn. thrusting each
other aside in their haste, as If afraid
Of being followed. These men were seven
or eight in number, and 1t was easy to
see they were officers, in spite of the pre-
caution Of some among them who had put
on civilian attire.
They laughed and jested loudly. The
door of the rancho had been left ajar by
the landlord, who probably thought it un-
necessary to close it; the officers succeed
ed each other with great rapidity, and
their number soon became SO great that
the room was completely filed.
As for No Lusacho, he continually
prowled round the tables, watching ev-
erything with corner Of his eyes, and
being careful not to serve the slightest
article without receiving immediate pay
ment. At length, one of the officers rose.

The young man bowed and began walk

ing two or three words in low voice with
each Of the visitors. When Don Sirven
had gone round the room, he went to the
person who had addressed him and said
with respectful bow
"Senor colonel, the meeting Is complete
and only one person Is absent but as he
did not tell us certainly whether he would

"You can trust me, colonel" the young

cd the door behind him.
The officers then turned round on the
benches and thus found themselves face
to face with the colonel, who had sta
toned himself In the middle of the room.
The latter waited few minutes til per

Good Money In Peach Crop.

Shipments Of early Crawford peaches
rom Roseburg this year will aggregate
total Of nearly 10000 boxes. This is
the estimate given by E. P. Drew, who
is handling the shipments OF the local
fruitgrowers' association, whose men,
bership embraces nearly all Of the
peach growers in that vicinity.
Growers have realized good prices for
their product. Peaches Of average size
and quality brought fom 86 to 85 certa
per box, while those Of higher grade
brought as high as $1.25 per box.
After deducting transportation charges,
these prices left the growers neat
margin of profit. Most Of the fruit
was marketed in Portland.

The traveller looked at him fxedly for
q moment or two, and then laid his hand
firmly on his arm and pulled him toward
the table.
'Now, look here" he said to him curtly,
Il intend to pass two hours in your hovel,
at all risks know that between this and
steven o'clock you expect a large party"
The landlord attempted to give de-
nial, but the traveller cut him short.
"Silence," he continued. II wish to be
present at this meeting; Of course I do
not mean to be seen but must not
only see them, but hear, all they say. Put

I will give you as many more when your
visitors have gone, and l assure you that

clared few moments previously that he
had nothing in the house, instantly COW

not particularly delicate, were sufficiently

She was sweet old lady, but afraid
Of the confusion of the busy street.
AS she hesitated, the boy came up.
He took off his cap and smiled.
"Let me help your" he said.
With the feeble old arm in his, he led
her safely over. 1t cost him only
minute and little thought.
1t was tribute that youth owes to
age.
1t was simple kindness
1t was thoughtfulness, and, Of course,
politeness, because pollteness Is noth-
ing but consideration and thoughtful
ness Of other people.
1t was sympathy. The feeling that
made the boy want to be Of some serv-
ice to the old lady was the same feel
Ing that makes every one of US who has
heart and Is not ashamed of 1t want
to help everybody who is down or in
trouble or unable to help themselves.
And 1t was chivalry toward woman
kind. We all possess that-some Of 1t.
1t is such tremendous pity, Isn't 1t,
that we are growing so selfish that
we haven't always time to be cour-
teous? There are still places in big,
busy America where men take off their
hats in public elevators when women
are present. Foollsh2 Perhaps. But
the spirit that prompts 1t isn't foolish.
1t Is only a survival of that world-old
feeling that every man owes all respect
to every woman.
When the boy helped the old lady he
not only assisted her and himself did
a kind act, but he furnished a lesson
to whole world full of people.-Cin-
