Downs of the Cedaredge Bank, arrived
last week in Cedaredge for an extended

Cedaredgc is not disheartened in spite
of the damaging frosts of the past
week. Some of the fruit is undoubt-
edly lost but reports from the farther
ranches where the fruit buds were as
yet undeveloped, promise returns in
nearly all kinds and ranches nearer
town will harvest at least some varie-
ties. Fruit has never been the only
resource of the Cedaredge country and
while there will be unquestionable loss,
there will be no real distress from re-
sulting conditions.
The graduating exercises of the
schools held last Friday evening in Ce-
daredge hall were most successful. The
class, without exception, acquitted
themselves with honor and received
their diplomas with the consciousness
of having well earned them. The sew
eral musical numbers were greatly en-
joyed also. After the exercises in the
hall the class with their parents, the
musicians of the evening and the school
board adjourned, as the guests of Mr..
Meicher, Principal of the schools, to
Davis drug store. MIR. Davis new
store room had been made ready with
suitable decorations, for spread and a
pleasant hour over cream and cakes
was enjoyed by all present. The class
colors, red and white, appeared to ad-
vantage both in the very tasteful dec
orations of the hall and in the table
service at the following spread. The
ninth and tenth grades have done good
work also during the past year, ac-
complishing in seven months practically
the same work done elsewhere in eight
or nine, but no exercises were held by
them this year.

many other toothsome goodies at the
low price of fifteen and twenty-five
cents, and from the neat little sum
realized, there must have been quite

tie other day that people came to him
wanting work done and that he had
turned away as high as 500 worth of
work in a single week, and he is not in
the business either.
F. z. Mills, wife and son of Brooks
ton, Ind, arrived at Cedaredge last
Friday evening to remain. One of the
first things which Mr.. Mills did was to
order the CHAMPION sent to his son in
Indiana in order that he might keep
track of the growth of this section.
Mr.. Mills says he likes this country
very much and will later build fine
home. The only thing he says he does
not understand is how the farmers here
make water run up hill as he is certain
that is what is done. On this question
Mr.. Mills views are the same as many
others from the east who come into
Colorado's irrigation districts.

Wants Electric Road

Cedaredge wants an electric road and
needs it. 1t seems rather strange that
other sections of the country which are
favored with competing lines of rail-
road and are not in need of anything of
the sort, come in for the attention of
projectors of electric transportation
lines, while fields such as we have in
Delta county, with ample business for
such lines and which are crying for
their possession, should be so long neg
lected. No better opportunities can be
found for the building of short trans
portation lines than exist right here in
Delta county.

now is favorable for a push in that
direction. We need the sugar factory

struction has been attended with diff culty and delay. Notwithstanding this, | however, 70 miles of main canal and ditches, embracing 10000 acres, were excavated and water was actually sup piled to nearly 10000 acres in 1907. | The attractions of the Klamath coun- try are numerous. It's climate is mod erately warm in summer and not ex- cessively cool in winter. Usually there is sufficient snowfall for short intervals of sleighing.
 The annual precipitation is between 15 and 20 inches but little of which occurs in summer. The air is dry, bracing and exceptionally healthful. The sun shines 300 days in every year and is rarely obscured for an entire day, even in stormy weather. No de- structive storms have ever occurred.
 The soil of the uplands is mainly a rich, sandy loam. similar in character and fertility to that of the famous Yakima valley in Washington. The marsh lands are composed of soil of great depth and fertility. The land | VIII pIOQuCe dlldlld, SIdlll, tHe COlli- mon root and tuber crops; soil and eli mate are favorable for a large variety of field and vegetable crops and in ia vored localities for hardy fruits. Ex ceptional opportunities abound for the development of the dairy industry. The demand far exceeds the supply. California annually imports 3,000,000 | Ir 70 Washington also require supplies from other states.
 The peat lands when drained will probably be devoted to the production of asparagus, celery and allied crops. Other industries awaiting development are lumber milling, canning and meat packing.
 The Klamath country offers oppor- tunity not only to the practical farmer and stock grower, but invites the me chanic and the laborer. Thousands of men in the cities, tired of the uncer- tainties of their present position, who have saved a few hundred dollars, would find a happy change in the Klamath country.
 This is the day of the small farm and no occupation in life offers more substantial reward and solid satisfac- tion for the labor and capital invested than the operation of a small irrigated tract in such a region as this. It opens future of independence and comfort and freedom from drudgery that can not be found in city life. With small farms all about there is no loneliness no isolation. The advantages of schools, society, churches and many of the luxuries of city life are enjoyed in these irrigated districts. The irriga tor is the king among farmers, as he is more independent of local condi tions than other farmers. With sun shine every day of the growing season , and controlling as he does the water supply he can regulate crop produc tion to the highest degree of perfec , tion Of course capital is required r the amount depending upon the indi vidual and kind of farming he de sires to practice. The man who wants home of his own, where he can rear his family in comfort and independ ence, will find no more inviting place than the Klamath basin.

A NEGLECTED INTEREST.

Because Of the many duties indoors
and out which take up the parents
time there is tendency with the vast
majority to pay slight heed to another
interest Of equal or greater impor-
tance. the district school. Of course 1t
is taken for granted by school patrons,
and is in most cases true, that COM
petent teacher has been hired who will
conduct the work in satisfactory
manner, but this Notwithstanding 1t is
better from the standpoint OF teacher,
pupils and patron if the latter get into
the habit when opportunity offers of
visiting the schools in helpful.
friendly spirit with view to encour-
aging the teacher and getting first
hand knowledge of conditions which
prevail there. Were this done more
generally by parents many serious mis-
understandings might be avoided be-
tween themselves and teachers and a
spirit Of cooperation developed which
would be beneficial from every point
of view Parents would understand
better than they do the trials and vex-
ations which the average teacher has
to put up with, teachers would come
to know their pupils better by being
acquainted with the parents, while
pupils would realize that an under
standing existed between teacher and
parents would make it impossible for
them were they so inclined to distort
or misrepresent incidents or conditions
existing in the school. In the event
that the teacher was seriously at fault
in her methods of government or real
ly incapable the knowledge that pa
irons would get from visiting the
school frequently would enable them
to take such action as would be just
and fair to all concerned. ri

A COMMON AiLMENT.

A quite common ailment with horses
which have been at hard and steady
work through the summer months and
of sudden are given spell Of leisure
between harvest and husking without
an accompanying reduction in their
food ration Is stocking of the legs
sometimes the front, but more com
monty the hind. This seems to be due
to sort of congestion which takes
place In the system, resulting in serf-
GUS kidney and urinal disturbances.
In such cases about the only thing to
be done is to radically change the diet,
cutting out the tame Especially clover)
hay if it has been fed and substi-
tuting bran in the place of corn, giving
laxative medicines which will tend to
loosen up and clean out the system.
Turning horses affected in this man
ner out to pasture is an excellent idea,
as they get needed exercise. which will
tend to reduce the. swelling Of the
limbs, while the grass will be an excel
lent corrective of internal conditions
A bovine will suffer no ill from eating
an excess of rich foods, but it is diff
ferent with the horse. ---.....-.-----..-

ENCOURAGED TO Hone.

When the Empress Frederick. eldest
daughter of Queen Victoria, was a lit
tie girl, her disposition, to the great
grief Of the queen, was naughty and
arrogant. Once. when about to embark
on the royal yacht Victoria and Albert.
she was lifted across to the deck Of the
boat by one of the sailors, who, as he
was putting her down gently, said,
'aThere you are, my little lady"
II am not little LADY, am a
princess." was the prompt and indig-
nant reply. The queen, who had over
heard the conversation, detained the
man with gesture and. turning to her
spoiled little daughter, said:
'Tell the kind sailor that you are
much indebted to him for his civility
and that although you are not little
lady yet, you confidently hope to merit
the title before long"

ThE BEST REMEDY.

While there is much about the sub
ject of tuberculosis that is not yet
known, enough has been learned to
prove beyond doubt that the malady
is in many cases induced or aggravat-
ed by the close confinement OF human
beings and animals in s;uiIy and i'll
ventilated houses ard St-blc3. Pure
fresh air, which may be hid fer the
breathing, IS natures great antitoxin
for pulmonary complaints. AID thou
sands OF cases CT tic r22!ady have
been permanently cured through the
patients being in the open every posi-
BILE moment Of their waking AID sleep
ing hours. Time was when there was
class of people who were as afraid
as death c. pure fresh air and would
as soon thi2k of exposing themselves
to a contagious Gisaa..c as leave a win
dow up in the sleeping room. While
a person of this type may be found
here and there, the class is rapidly di-
minishing the fear Of fresh air being
relic Of bygone times that should be
dispensed with along with cupping,
bleeding and cauterizing with hot
irons. ~
