In the number Of pear trees Michl-
San is third, with 1,18711O trees;
Texas fourth, with 1,O44,6SO, and New
Jersey fifth with 926,117 trees.
North Dakota is a bad last in tho
pear industry there having been, ac,
cOrding to Mr. Whites figures, only
three fruit-bearlng pear trees in that
state on June 30. Wyoming, with 1875
trees, and Delaware, with 1118 trees,
follow North Dakota with the fewest
number Of pear trees.
Mr.. White says that while the apple
and pear industries do not rank with
the grain and wheat crops, the figures
show the magnitude Of the former in
dustry, and that reckoning apples at
40 and pears at so trees to the acre,
1t will be seen that the total acreage
is above five million, which Is so per
cent greater than the potato crop,
while the harvesting Of the crop gives
employment to five times as many
persons as the potato crop.

mad escaped past the brattices and was

The mine was hastily closed and has
remained sealed until it is believed
that the fire is so low that there is
no immediate danger. The most skill
ed men in the camp under the per-
sonal supervision Of Mr.. Bradbury will
enter the mine, building brattices and
stoppings to shut off air from the fire,
and these brattlces will gradually and
carefully be advanced until the fire is
walled off in one corner Of the mine
and the bodies in the shafts can be
taken out in safety.
The mine will probably never be
worked again. 1t is so full of gas as to
be always more or less dangerous and
the last explosion so wrecked the
workings that the expense of restor-
ing them would be greater than the
amount of coal to be taken out would
pay for. When the bodies of the men
and the valuable machinery and other
materials are taken out, the mine will
doubtless be abandoned.

The members of the irrigation
committee appointed this week by
the chamber of commerce to make
efforts to have Spokane chosen as the
seat of the irrigation congress to be
held In the fall Of 1909, have active
ly started the campaign. Correspond
ence has been opened with the COM
mercial organizations of Washington,
Idaho, Oregon, Montana and Califor-
mia to enlist their support in behalf
of the movement to bring the con-
gress here.
L. G.. Monroe, secretary Of the
chamber of congress, said: Denver,
Col, will be our only serious rival
and we will have the advantage over
that city In view of the fact that
Spokane Is on the route from eastern
states to the Alaska Yukon Pacific
fair to be held In Seattle. Tickets
from eastern points to Seattle will be
good for a stopover In Spokane, and
for that reason we have strong hopes
being able to bring the irrigation

Thousands of inquiries are being
received by the department of agri-
culture regarding the new variety OF
wheat raised by Abraham Adams of
Jullaetta, Idaho, which is alleged to
produce as high as 222 bushels an
acre, says Washington letter. The
Saturday Evening Post of last week
exploited this wheat and since then
/ the department of agriculture has had
no peace. In order to ascertain the
facts, Director French of the Idaho
experimental station at Moscow has
been directed to visit the Adams
farm and see the wheat for himself
According to reports the wheat in
question has a composite head, that
is, each head is made up of a cluster
of ordinary heads and is OF white,
] soft variety,
Agricultural experts are skeptical
about it and say that it is a strain of

wheat that has long been grown in
different parts of the mountain re-
gions They say they have analyzed
It and found it low in proteid. They
also doubt whether It is good milling
wheat and think farmers should go
slow about taking up with 1t until
the department has investigated.
Another report from Washington
SAYS. A variety of wheat under the
name Alaska" is being advertised
widely as capable of yielding at the
rate OF 200 bushels to the acre under
ordinary soil conditions"
II is stated that this variety was
found growing wild ON the eastern

NOTICE TO CITY ATTORNEYS.
Medical Board President Calls At
tention to Law Effective July
~ 1907

To the County Attorneys of Tex
as: The purpose of this notice is
to call your attention to the medical
practice act of Texas, passed by the
thirtieth legislature, which has been
in force since July IL, 1907.
Under said act all physicians legal
lied under laws are required to get
a verification license from the State
Board of Medical Examiners and
have said license recorded before or
by July u, 1908.
After date last mentioned the only
evidence OF physicians right to
practice in Texas is to posse and
have on record in the District 4 erk's
Office of the county of residence 3
certificate from the above named
board. That this law may be strictly
enforced your earnest cooperation
is desired and in thus giving your
assistance is no more than to dis
charge your official duty to the peo-
pie of your county.
Under former laws physicians were
legalized by the registration of so
many different kinds of certificates
and diplomas, both legal and nom
legal, to have determined ones legal
status, to the inexperienced and non
interested, was confusing.
Now, there is no excuse for confu
sion-all must possess a like Gre
dential-a certificate from the pre-
sent State Board of Medical Exam
iners-signed by identically the same
names. In this connection l deem it
necessary to mention the fact that
while six names upon a certificate
under the present law is a legal
document, none such have been is
sued-none have been issued with
out at least ten names and should
your district clerk records show GER
tificates signed by less than ten
cured fraudulently and their posses
sors are subject to prosecution as
prescribed by law.
1t is an easy matter to determine
the individual status and the num-
Der of physicians in your county
which must be verified by the num-
Der of registrations in your district
clerks Office and should there be any
one who has not registered within
the limits mentioned, though they
may possess the proper credential,
they are subject to prosecution. pro-

Personality Has Value.

Personality is either a tremen-
dous asset or a handicap says Yer
bena in the July Designer. Some
times | wonder if it isn't, after all,
the fairy gift.
I've seen personality wave a
wand and accomplish desired ends
where logic and money and influence
and coercion failed.
Personality is the mysterious at
traction that draws US just as the
moon does the tides of the sea- There
is no defining it.
1T isn't beauty, and It isn't clev-
erness.
Il have seen beautiful women
neglected and brilliant ones forgot
ten, while a woman with a personal
ity, without an effort. charmed the
crowd.
They say very often that the per-
sonality OF this actress or that one
is what draws, and not her art. She
has the charm Of each season and
the bad weather of none In her dis
position. That is what critics call her
personality"

A CITADEL OF REFUGE.
Novel Structure for the Protection
of School Children.

Mover structure Tor the I'rOteCtIOn
of School Children.
A novel type of building construc-
ton as applied to that class of struc-
lures adapted to house great assemb
lies of people and especially to safe
guard school children and their
teachers against constant peril from
both fire and panic. is described in
the fire proofing number of Cement
Age, New York.
The central idea embodies in the
plan presented for school buildings,
is to form, centrally, within the walls
of the building structure, a fireproof
place of refuge, which shall be in
stantly available through fire doors
within its walls connecting directly
with every floor and it's series of
rooms, and which shall have suf-
ficient capacity to temporarily house
and safeguard all the occupants of
the building and from which by am
| pie stairways they can leisurely wend
| their way to the outer air through
protected causeway in the basement,
unhampered by fire, smoke, or even
undue heat.
While the saving of human life is
the primary object of this novel fea-
ture in building construction,
secondary object of great significance
to fire departments and to the pub
lie generally, is the ready access af-
forded and the means employed for
fighting the fire centrally, and at
close range, without in the least i'm
periling the lives of the firemen.
A third feature of much incidental
value lies in the direct access which
the citadel gives to every room in
the building, and their inter-connec-
tions, and especially its value as
means of ingress and egress of the
occupants or recitations in any of
the other rooms in the building
The citadel proper, save for num-
erous fire-doors connecting with each
floor and basement causeway, is

which is capped and fireproofed, pre-
senting no opening save for firemen's
use and for artificial ventilation.

| building proper, and are rigidly Sc

| This citadel in structure. may be
! of brick or reinforced concrete and
may be of any desired prism and of
dimensions suitable for any special

can originate within it's walls, nor
| can fire and smoke enter from with
| out, as no draft can be created in
eiter direction, except voluntarily
through artificial means. However,
under normal conditions an electric
| fan or blower in the dome of the roof
| will serve for purposes of ventila-
ton.
| The intermediate space between
| the walls of the citadel and the out
er building serves the purpose of
continuous connection of every

while the space is aptly located for
