WELCOME TO FRUIT GROWERS.

Walla Walla for the next two days
will entertain several hundred of the
most prominent fruit growers of the
northwest who are attending the an
nual meeting of the State Horticulture
al association. 1t is needless to say that
Walia Wara extends a most cordial
greeting TO The Visitors. 1t is a matter
of congratulation, not only that Wal
la Walla has been able to secure this
convention, but that the fruit industry
OF the northwest has grown to such
proportions that the growers are able
10 number their members by the hun
dreds instead of by scores such as was
the case a decade ago. The fruit in
dustry Of the northwest has
grown TO such proportions within the
past few years that the industry is
not only second in Importance to
wheat raising. but even bids fair to
become a greater industry in the matter
of revenue. 1t has been for the fruit
grower TO demonstrate that ten and
even five acres of land. properly Guilt
waited and cared for, will furnish a
means of livlihood for a family and to
them can be traced, to large degree,
the rapid settling up of the northwest
The development of the famous We
natchee, Yakima, Hood River and Ken
newick districts is due almost entirely
TO the small fruit grower, who was
quick to realize the opportunities
open to the man who showed a will
lingness 10 hustle. Without them these
districts would still be in the primeval
state they were twenty years ago. The
fruit growers. therefore. are not only
10 be congratulated for what they have
done for themselves but for the north
west n large.

Thrcosh Novel Proposal of Woman.
DES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 29-Exas-
perated over having lost in a contest
for the county printing, simply be-
cause she was a woman, Elizabeth
Schem, editor of the Storm Lake vi
dette asserted her leap year preroga-
tive and in the current issue of her
paper makes the following proposal:
"a constant fight for what rightfully
belongs to her is a wear and tear on
the nervous system of any woman, and
We have come to the belief that in or
der to stay in newspaper work and
! maintain our health we will have to
marry some man printer who can do
the fighting and swearing for us.
This is leap year, and this may be
considered as a proposal by anyone
who would be qualified to fill the va
cancy so evident in the Vidette office ~
G. A. Craig. the bachelor editor of
the Lytton Star, wrote an acceptance
conditional upon the ability of Miss
Schem to make pancakes, fry ham
and eggs and distill good coffee" In
the next issue of the Vidette the fair
editor will assure Craig of her ability
to deliver the goods, and all newspa-
perdom is preparing to extend con-
gratulations.

tie for that. district will approximate

Whitman is one of the big farming
counties of the state 1t has an enor-
NOUS output of grain, hogs and cattle.
But the town of ST John occupies only
a small portion of the large area. 1t is
a place of less than 1000 inhabitants
It holds a prominent position as being
the center of a large grain field. For
90 miles in any direction the farms are
covered with green or golden fields in
the proper season. Every modern ma
chine for cultivating the soil ana
planting and harvesting crops may be
seen on the numerous farms. There is
an air of prosperity everywhere. The
country presents a scene in the real
bread land of. the United States that Is
inspiring to the student of political
economy.
The secret of success in the Pleas
ant valley country lies in mixed agrl-
culture. The farmers do not have to
dispose of their grain until they get
top of the market prices. They sell
their cattle and hogs and secure all the
money required to operate the farms
and educate their children. They are
practically Independent of all financial
difficulties With but single crop 1t
would be otherwise. Having more than
one market basket, they are enabled
to talk and act independently. There
in lies the key to the situation. Diver
sified farming opens the gateway to
success. It gives the farmer something
to sell and something to hold every
month in the year. If the modern til
Ter of the soil would be happy and
prosperous, he should not forget that
mixed agriculture offers that boon to
every man who will handle it cor
rectly.

How the Galveston Scheme Works.

Oh. S. Cooper in Success Magazine.o
We in Galveston do think, however
that We have pretty nearly solved the
most difficult problem of civic admin
istration. After six years trial of it
there is very little that we would want
changed in the charter, and we have
reelected the whole board Of commits
sionerS three times. There is no poll
board of aldermen and the bad ele-
ment following them-and yearning
for the old days of graft and misrule-
have tried very hard to inject politics
into it. 1t is plain business govern
ment, on a plain, everyday, common
sense. business, human plan; it has
nothing sectional, racial, or geo.
graphical in it that will limit it, it is
practical for every American city,
even the very largest ones, for size
has nothing to do with it's principles.
Election at large of a commissioner
for each department or group of de-
partments-never less than four nor
needfully more than seven.
A sharp definition of the depart
ments.
An equally sharp definition of the
powers and responsibilities of each and
every. head of department.
a president-also elected at large
not having charge of any departments
and who has a vote but no veto.
No executive sessions.
No standing" committees nor any
committees" in the usual aldermanlc
sense.
That is all. AS Kipling says: Think
Of the gorgeous simplicity of it.'

WEALTH IN FARM PRODUCTS.

The Colfax Gazette gives some inter
esting figures on the financial condi-
ton Of farmers in Whitman county.
The story relates TO a small district
known as Pleasant valley. in which is
situated the town of st. John. Ac-
cording TO the Gazette. the three grain
warehouses in that shipping point have
100000 bushels of wheat stored by the
farmers. That grain is worth approxi-
mately 100000. and it represents the
surplus of the growers in that imme-
diate vicinity It is stated that the
farmers are holding for higher prices
They can afford to do it, because ready
money has been obtained from selling
cattle and hogs. 1t is estimated tina,
the cash value Of wheat, hogs and cat.

New York bankers, at their annual
banquet Monday night. showed their
hostility to Roosevelt by drinking a
toast to the president in silence. At
best ii was an ungentIemanly act and
one that will have a tendency to ce-
ment still closer, the sympathies of the
common people with the policies Of
President Roosevelt

and locks. That it is entirely practi-
cable to construct such a system of
dams and locks there can be no rea-
sonable doubt, and the river certainly
affords a sufficient volume of water to
operate such a system. 1t is GER
tainly neither a difficult nor expensive
operation to pass a vessel even of con-
siderable size and tonnage, through a
lock ara lift it 80. 40 or even so feet.
Therefore. why should not this idea
have serious contemplation?
1T is not at all improbable that in
course of time when the cOntributary
country shall have been settled and
the business and traffic arising from
such occupancy shall warrant it, that
the United States government might
be induced to spend the necessary sum
in the construction of such system of
dams and locks. but in looking forward
to the probable contamination of this
idea there intervenes such a vista of
years that it really becomes phantas-
bagoria.
Should the promoters of this pro-
ject successfully demonstrate it's prac-
ticability there is every reason to be-
lieve that similar projects will be I'M
dertaken elsewhere along the river,
and it is not improbable that the rail-
roads parallelling the river might be
operated by power developed in this
manner, while at the same time pro-
noting and benefitting river naviga-
ton.
Dam Might Cause Delays.
Since the fundamental purpose of
the construction of this dam is the de-
velopment of POWER, and to accomplish
this it would be necessary to pass over
and through the dam and wheels Of
large volume of water Gas the low head
developed would require proportion
ately large volume of water) it might
be discovered eventually that practi-
caliy all the flow of the river at the
low stage or even at a mean stage
might be required for power purposes,
thus leaving little or none for operat-
ing the locks and if it We're to the ad-
vantage of those in control of the dam
and locks to place an embargo upon
navigation it might be accomplished
in this manner.
1T would seem to me that in such
a bill there should be at least two
stipulated conditions. one providing
for maximum foliage charge, and the
other. that sufficient water should be
supplied to the locks at all times for
their speedy and effective operation.
Even though there might seem to be no
reasonable grounds for anticipating
trouble from these sources, and exist
ing laws may provide against all impo-
sition in these respects, nevertheless. I
would suggest the stipulation of these
conditions in the bill granting permits
sion for the construction of this DAM"

Tungsten, one of the rare earth min

facture of incandescent lamps which
give brilliant white light OF pleasing
quality. The deposits examined by Mr..
Weeks are on the west slope of the
Snake range, south of Wheeler peak,
about ~ miles from Ely, the nearest
railroad station. The tungsten bearing
minerals found here are hubnerte and
scheelite. The vein material Is hard
and Is difficult to mine. and varies so
greatly In amount and character with
In a few feet that the value OF the de-
posts can not easily be estimated. Con-
siderable development work has al
ready been done ON the deposits, and
means are at hand for further explorp-

AMERICAN HORSES
IN ENGLAND

All England few days ago was ring
ing with the victory won by an Amer-
can horse at Newmarket. August Bel
mont's Norman III, bred in Kentucky,
won the classic two thousand guineas
in competition with some of the best
horses on the British turf.
This performance indicates that the
Kentucky speeder has pretty good
chance of winning the Derby next
month. As everybody knows, that
famous blue ribbon has come to the
United States-won by Iriquois In
lSSl-but so far as we can remember
Mr. Relmonts horse is the first Amer
lean horse TO win the two thousand.
The victory VIII serve to draw the
attention of the world to the improve
ment wrought in the quality of our
horses through the efforts of the rae
Ing and breeding associations-an i'm
provement which extends from racers
and trotters to the everyday working
animals.
