ONLY ONE PASSED
Thirty-scyen Other Candidates for
 High school Fail to Enter.

But one of the thirty-eight candidates who took the examinations for en- trance to the high school has success fully passed and this one is Miss Ruth Miller The freshman class of the school was met yesterday morning in the school auditorium by Dr. J. P. Cushing. head master Of the school, and the director of manual training, Charles Kirschner, who both made ad- dresses to the scholars, setting forth what was expected of them In the next four years.
 The number of pupils present in the meeting was estimated at eight hun dred and twenty-five, to whom about twenty-five more will be added when the school opens this morning, they not being present owing to inability to attend. Among the number who did not attend were many out of town pupils Thus 1t is that the number of pupils in the freshman class Is esti- mated to be in excess of $50, which Is the largest class that has ever entered the school The class this year Is about 100 greater than last years freshman class.
 Yesterday was the second day of at tendance for the grammar school pu- | pills and a large number of complaints of overcrowded conditions were added to those of Tuesday. The Woolsey, Strong, Webster, Orange and Scranton schools appear to be the most over crowded and 1t seems as though sev- eral new schools would have to he erected in the coming year as the l Scranton school which Is as crowded as the others was only erected tive years ago.

WANTS WOODRUFF
A. Lewis Says State Should Put Him
 Up on Some Ticket.

To the Editor of the Journal Courier:
 We'll, the machine" has done its 'd--st," and repudiated everything the best element proposed. When s50,000, 900 of capital is represented and thousands of men employed by the men back of the large amount of capital are turned down." Is it not about time the machine should be taught lesson by turning down the machine made ticket, and all of us, who have our old state interest at heart, vote the other ticket?
 Governor Woodruff Is the choice of the people, he is the governor of the whole people, and he has proved him self a man to be trusted There Is no blot or stain on Governor Woodruff, so why should not the democratic party nominate him or If that can't be then citizens ticket? l am quite sure there are enough voters in Con- necticut, both republicans and demo- crats, to elect him governor second term. If he can not be nominated In any possible way, then let the demo- cratic party put In nomination an &C., ceptable candidate and in that way defeat the machine made ticket.
 We have right here in New Haven good and clean men, plenty of them. who would run well and no doubt be elected General F F. Bradley, one of our most able and honorable men, would fill the chair with dignity and honor to the state, and there are any number of Just such men
 Do not make the mistake of putting in nomination any defeated candidate. John T. Manson. president of the Yale bank one of our most able your re- publicans. If he would accept the nomination, no doubt would carry the state He is not politician and he is not seeking the nomination. but the | nomination is. seeking. him. tst4. Do not give. up the fight as long as there Is the least chance to defeat the machine made ticket and you will have the sincere thanks of the best people of the entire state.

SILVER LINING IN THE COPPER ARMAMENT

From number of developments that
have occurred i'll the past few days in the
smelling circles of this city there are in
dications that the worst so far as the
copper situation in the country is con-
cerned i'll the present curtailment has
been reached, says the New York Com
mercial.
While the improvement may not be
perceptible for some time the impression
in smelling circles seems to be that a
change for the better is coming. 1t is
known that orders have been issued to
several of the large copper producing
companies which have recently cut down
their output, that if the present more
cheerful outlook continues they will be
allowed to increase their shipments by
the latter part of December. Should
this temporary improvement show any
signs of weakening by that time those
orders, of course, could easily be coun-
fernandez.

money ON fair copper market.
Those who are in touch with the
copper market will tell you that the
three first months of the year beginning
with January, are always noted for the
placing of particularly large copper
metal orders. The prospects of this
buying Undertaking. in 1908 are all the
better by virtue of the fact that domes-
tic consumers have been waiting for
months to jump in and buy when they
could reasonably feel that bottom had
been reached.
las so per cent of this country's cop
per mines have been shut down for sew
eral months, and because those that
have still kept running have cut down
their output so per cent. there is bound
to be a shortage of the metal as soon as
the buying in large lots commences.
The surplus of 1000. 900 pounds now
waiting OH the market can be sold in
less than one weeks good business.
I'VE have knowledge that number OF
the largest mines i'll the West that have
been shut down have been told to hold
themselves in readiness to open at full
blast by the end of December. These
orders have been issued in the regular
course of business, and preparations to
enforce them will begin Immediately
They argue that a dearth of copper
would increase a rapid scale of advanc-

some cases that / know of they are sac
rifcing gilt-edge securities at slaughter

From what may be considered good
authority it is learned that the Southern
Pacific company proposes to build its
branch line of road into Yerington from
Wabuska, on the main line, next spring
and summer The road will also reach
all of the largest mines. The survey for
this branch line was completed some
time since.
With the coming of the road several of
the best developed copper properties i'll
the district will undoubtedly erect reduc-
ton works of some kind to handle the
product of the mines. The Bluestone
property, owned by Captain DeLamar,
has manufactured a great quantity of
brick on its ground for the purpose of
constructing a i000-ton electromagnetic
separating plant to work the ores from
the mines. The Nevada Douglas COM
pany also contemplates erecting 1000
ton smelling plant OH its ground in the
spring.
Land valnes have increased on an av-
erage of over so per cent in the past
year throughout the valley, and real es-
tate in the city of Yerington has kept
pace. The real estate business in the
city is little quiet at the present time,
but everybody who has secured hold
on any property is holding on and there
is practically no slump in prices there
seems to be feeling that better things
are coming in the spring and summer

ton of the 18th and in reply to your in
quiries will state that the general trade
conditions in Mason valley and Yering-

out the valley for the year have been
good and there has been no trouble in
disposing of produce at good profit to
the producer.
The financial conditions are also in bet

State, according to all reports Nobody
with deposit in the Lyon County bank
has failed to get all the money necessary
to meet all obligations: the bank never
having closed its doors since opening,

There is considerable building going
on i'll the town numerous residences,
two large cement block store buildings,
two stories, and new brick bank build
ing of the same height, and several more
are proposed for the spring. A new road
and a bridge across the Walker river are
now in course of construction to facili-
tate travel into the town. This work is
being done by private subscription.
The tightness of money in other sec

FERTILITY OF SOIL
Science of the Growth of Plants
Should Be Understood by Farmer.

A. r. Whitson of the Wisconsin sta
ton says: Directly or indirectly the
food of mankind comes from the soil,
and there is, therefore, nothing more
important in agriculture than that the
factors which determine the produc.
tiveness of the soil be thoroughly I'm
derstood. This bulletin is written for
the purposes of putting before the
farmer a statement of our present
knowledge of the factors which influ-
ence the fertility of the soil and of the
relation of these factors to each other.
The agricultural plants require for
growth a favorable temperature, light,
and a supply of material including a
bon dioxide, water and certain chem.
ical elements derived from the soil.
The chief of these elements are nitro.
gen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium
and magnesium. Since oxygen is used
at every point of the plant where
growth takes place, it is needed at the
tops of the roots, and therefore soil
must be aerated. All these condi-
tions are dependent on the climate, on
the physical and chemical conditions
of the soil, and on various changes
going on in the soil.

The supreme court Of North Caro-
lima has decided all the issues be-
tween the state and the railroads, ex-
cept the indictments and fines i'm
posed on the Southern railroad, in "a
O Of the state. The opinion afirms
the right Of the state courts to pun
ish agents and officials of railroads for
selling tickets at an exces above the
lawful rate, which in North Carolina
is "a cents a mile. The court holds
that the federal court has no author
ity to issue an injunction against
bringing suits, criminal or civil,
against the railroad, as it would in
thus enjoining a criminal action bring
a suit against the state, which is for
hidden by the constitution Of the
United States. The Southern railroad
will now appeal to the United States
supreme court, which, with the case
Of Attorney General Young of Mime
sofa, which is also appealed, will set
tie the matter Of the right of the
states to control railroads within their
borders.

The filter, F, is not entirely neces-
sary. BY having ar aerator attach

precaution to turn out the first water

will be quite satisfactory. 1t should be

FERTILIZERS Paw.

No farmer should lose sight Of the
fact that an fertilizers have great
value, and not a pound of fertilizer
should be allowed to go to waste. On
general principles a farmer should be
always working into his soil the mate
rails that will make plant food. An
abundance Of plant food is required in
the soil, IL farming Is to be carried on
prof1tably. 1t should be remembered
that every particle Of vegetable mat
ter makes fertility when it decays, and
should be worked into the soil. The
interpretation of this fact leads to
the loss Of large quantities of barn
yard manure, which is allowed to go
to waste in various ways.
