There is a great deal of huxne ore in

I'VE have known about the property

there was only railroad near by"
said Mr.. Mcmahon, one of the new

when we heard that the Borax
Smith line was to go through that
country we Immediately started to find
how near it would go to the Tecopa
mine, and when we found it would
touch point within four miles we at
once began negotiations for the prop

since last May, but today the deal was
closed.

Preached First Sermon Here

In less than two weeks Bishop Mont
gomery preached his initial sermon in
st. Vibiana's cathedral, and for two
years he labored as assistant to Bishop
Mora. At the end of that time Bishop
Mora retired from the active episcopal
office and returned to Spain, when Bish-
op Montgomery succeeded him in direct
ing the affairs of the diocese.
This he did in an able manner until
1903 when he was returned to the dio-
cese for which he was ordained, as
ing his nine years residence in Los
Angeles Bishop Montgomery won the
love and esteem of all. and when it
was learned that he was to be taken
away from the City of the Angels much
regret was expressed, although his
many friends were joyous that he had
received a we'll earned promotion in
the ecclesiastical world. After many
farewell receptions and exercises the
bishop went north, where he was con-
secrated to his new office.
Since that time Archbishop Montgom-
cry has been active in the affairs of the
northern diocese assisting Archbishop
Reardon. During the days following
the earthquake Archbishop Montgom-
cry took the lead in carrying assistance
to the stricken churches and religious
communities, and preached in the open
with the blue sky as dome, to thou
sands of people, giving them hope and
confidence in the future. On the Sum
day following the disaster an automo-
bile carried the archbishop to all parts
of the, city where he addressed the as
sembled people. He worked night and
day and it is thought that this strain
undermined his general health.

THE BOY PROBLEM.
By Bishop Samuel Fallows.

oAShOP dllOWS.
Between the ages of - and 1S years
the average boy is very uncertain
quantity. He does not know what TO
do with his hands, his feet. his head
or his heart. 1t is perilous period.
The physician, the clergyman, the
teacher, the sociologist as well as the
parent find abundant material at ;nis
time In his life to engage their most
thoughtful attention.
The home is pre-emlnently the place
where not only the beginning but the
shapings Of life are to be determined.
This will be seen from a moments
glance at the facts In the case in rela-
tion to the home and the school, For
every hour the average American boy
is under school influence he Is eleven
hours under home influence. That is.
while he spends 5000 hours with the
teacher in his entire school life the
parent is directly responsible for $4,000
hours
1t Is tremendous responsibility.
One-tenth of the boy for good or bad
may be charged to heredity and nine
tenths to environment. John Locks
stated this truth from the viewpoint
of philosophy. Our ablest phrenologsts
state it from the viewpoint of expert
mental observation.
Clearly, then. the home should afford
the best possible surroundings for the
boy. Father and mother should be
united in the boys training and never
should be at cross purposes. Home for
him should be an earthly paradise, the
most attractive spot on earth. Infinite
patience, unwavering love, unfailing
sympathy conjoined with f1rmness
should enter into the development of
his character.

Maine's Abandoned Farms

The buying of abandoned farms in
Augusta, Maine, by city people, who
convert them into summer places. has
assumed such proportions that It has
been called to the attention of the
State Agricultural Department. Com.
missioner Gilman, who has investigated
the subject, says that in his opinion
this movement, If continued, would ma
terlally reduce the total agricultural
output of the State.
In recent years hundreds of rich New
York and Massachusetts people have
bought up farms and occupied them
during the summer only, cultivatinp
only such land as they wished for the
raising Of flowers and garden vegeta.
'bles. This policy is not In line with
that advocated by the Agricultural De.
partment. Vigorous efforts have been
made, aided by the authorities of the
University of Maine, to interest rural
communities In the possibilities OF
farming and frult-raising. Trains have
been sent throughout the country bear.

farmers on scientific agriculture. The
movement met with cordial reception
and was supported by the national Ag

Great Industry in Which Uncle SAM
Heads the World.
America occupies the premier posi-
ton with regard to the production Of
cotton, and not only has the industry
Itself increased to a gigantic scale but
the financial side has also developed
into an highly complex organism.
In New York the Cotton Exchange Is
a striking sight. "A hundred men,
more or less, are massed around a
brass-railed ring, all shouting figures.
You who stand in the visitors gallery,
looking down and listening, hear the
battle cry Of the New York Cotton
Exchange. The shouting dealers and
brokers on the floor are warriors of
the field Of the cloth of cotton. They
are soldiers of King Cotton, and cot
ton 1t is that they are buying and SELL
ing. Every few minutes a bell rings,
calling attention thus to a blackboard
on which is posted the latest quota
ton, or cotton price, from Liverpool.
In such matter it Is as IL the Liver
pool and New York cotton exchanges
were on opposite sides of the same
street-such is the magic Of the ocean

is more shouting, then friendly smiles,
and scribbllng on little pads. Such is
life five and half days a week around
that brass rail-the cotton pit"
In the Southern States every cotton
township has its local cotton exchange
fitted with numerous telephones so that
cotton farmers can follow the move
ments of the market. The actual cot
ton crop for the year ended Aug 81,
1908, aggregated 1861 All bales, which
was large advance on the 10,054,957
bales for similar period in 1904:
go per cent Of this enormous harvest Is
shipped to Europe.
Numerous devices have been invent
ed to take the place of hand labor in
gathering the cotton crop; with one ex-
ception, however, all Of these have
proved failures. The principal defect
has been that the machines would har-
vest the Immature as we'll as mature
cotton as the cotton does not ripen with
any uniformity. During the last har-
vesting season, however, a machine was
employed in several of the Southern
States which proved to be decided i'm
provement over the ordinary hand
method; by It's means only the ripe
cotton was picked, the other plants be-
ing untouched. The machine is driven
and propelled by an ordinary gasoline
engine Of eight horsepower. The cot
ton is gathered by an endless series of
teeth fixed to revolving bands working
inside the square cases (eight in num-
ber), which are shown being directed
by the operators. Any leaves or i'm
purlties are blown away by fans, and
the cotton is stored in the four bags
hanging from the upper part of the
mechanism.
A by-product Of cotton-growing Is
just now enjoying a boom. Europe has
become an enormous cotton seed oil con-
sumer, and export sales have been re-

rate of 1000 barrels per day. Cotton
seed oil Is now recognized as an i'm
portant article Of food, replacing olive
oil, lard, and butter in many forms of
cooking and table use. Its consump-
tion equals and the demand exceeds
the entire production Of the Southern
States, where cotton is grown. At the
cotton-seed mills in the South the seed
Is scraped by machinery and the lint
baled for the market. The shells are
made into potash.

hymn. 1t appeared as a poem In a differ

was not adopted until 1869. Since then the
song mas been generally used and counted
as 1avorite both for church services and
for home and individual use.)
One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me DER and Ger
Nearer my home, to-day, am l
Than e'er I've been before.
Nearer my Fathers house.
Where many mansions be;
Nearer to-day the great white throne
Nearer the crystal sea.
Nearer the bound of life.
Where burdens are laid down:
Nearer to leave the heavy cross;
Nearer to gain the crown.
But, lying dark between
Winding down through the night
There rolls the deep and unknown stream
That leads at last to light.
Ev'n now, perchance, my feet
Are slipping ON the brink,

Nearer than now l think.
Father, perfect my trust
Strengthen my power of faith
Nor let me stand, at last, alone
Upon the shore of death.

An editorial article III q religious
monthly calls renewed attention to the
shortage of Protestant preachers of
ability. 1t Is said that the ministry as
a profession has lost its attractiveness
for able men, despite the rapid growth
of the churches in membership, the
marked increase in the population of
the country, and the constant demand
for thoroughly equipped persons to fill
places of Importance, demand unpre-
cedented in the history Of the Christian
church. The theory Is advanced that
independent and energetic students are
not attracted by the modern plan of
ministerial education which provides
free tuition, free room rent, and often
cash payments as well to such as feel
that they are called to preach. An ell
dowment of million dollars for educa-
tion of preachers sometimes lies prac-
tically idle for lack of students to Use
the income. The same conditions are

to the completion Of given course of
training, during which he has been car.

ends. And yet few able youths seek
the preachers career. The editorial
writer suggests that this easy way OF
getting an education and livelihood
does not appeal to tie active and ener.

ministry gets only those who like the
easy life. But there are other reasons
which might be adduced for the famine
