Gold Mines in Philippines.

Mining in the Philippines is in it's in
fancy. Yet next year, from the mines
of the islands, there will be excavated
yellow metal to the value of 81 100000
and soon modern methods and the in
stallation of improved machinery will
make possible a production of at least
$5,00O,000 yearly. What the gold out
put in the Philippines will be annually
is a matter of conjecture, but it will
add wonderfully to the worlds gold
supply.
Estimates, not the assertions of ire
sponsible promoters, but trustworthy
information gained by the government,
repeatedly verified reports made by
cautious and disinterested investiga-
tors, go to show beyond reasonable
doubt that practically blocked out and
in sight are ore bodies that will yield
$100,000,O00. There is every reason to
believe that as mining operations pro-
gress greater and richer deposits of
this precious metal will be uncovered.

What Irrigation VIII Do.

What can be done with intensive
farming and irrigation is shown in a
circular recently issued by the Com
mercial Club of North Yakima, Wash
ington. One farmer received ten thou
sand dollars for the apples from his
fifteen-acre orchard. Apples sell for
a dollar and quarter a box, and the
yield runs from five hundred to two
thousand boxes an acre. The man
who raised the ten thousand dollar
apple crop sold the yield from fifteen
cherry trees for two hunderd and forty
dollars. Another received forty five
hundred dollars for the peaches which
he raised on three and a half acres
a third sold his nine acre pear crop
for the same amount, and still another
got eleven hundred and fifty-five dol
lars from three acres of potatoes
The Yakima valley is peculiarly
adapted to fruit raising, but there is
no reason why farmers elsewhere may
not increase the yield of their land by
adopting some of the methods success
fully used there.

Roads an Index.

Roads are so closely related to the
life of community that they may be
taken as an index of it's ethical, finan-
cial and industrial condition. Good
roads encourage immigration of the
right sort. They attract capital and
increase production and cheaper the
cost of living. The prosperity of a
community is in direct proportion to
the condition of its roads In a COM
munity with bad roads you will find
dilapidated schools, broken-down vehi-
cles and worn-out animals, and q peo-
pie who, although they may toll from
sun-up to sun-down, have butt few of
the comforts, luxuries and convenien-
ces to which their labors entitle them.
On the other hand in a community
where good roads abound, you will
find, as rule, happy, prosperous
and contented people, beautiful homes,
with all modern conveniences, good
schools, fine churches, blooded stock,
rural free delivery, telephone and. best
of ALL money in the bank

Roads in Alaska.

The work of the military road COM
mission in Alaska promises great re-
suits in promoting the development of
that great territory. Major Richard
son, the head of the commission, al
ready ventures the prediction that the
main trunk lines of Alaska will not
only soon contrast favorably with the
roads in many of the states, but that
they will in fact be better than the
average state road. After the main
roads are in good condition branch
roads will be run to reach every part
of the territory where development
points out the need of better transpor-
tation facilities.
Alaska is a country of magnificent
distances, and it will be many years,
even with the present rapid rate Of
construction, before the road system
will approach completion, but all the
work done each summer is helping
the development of the country as
probably nothing else could do. Alaska
has placier deposits almost innumer-
able, and the development of all save
the very richest must wait until
there are better means of access to
them, so that supplies can be taken in
at something approaching reasonable
price.

FRANCHISE RENEWED.
Proposed Electric Railway Between
Hanover and ReisterstOWn.

The Hampstead (Md) Enterprise of
November 13 says
A new lease of life has been given to
the proposed electric railway between
Hanover and Reisterstown by the &C
ton of the Manchester Town Council,
Tuesday night, in granting to Mr.. How
ard Tebbs, of Baltimore, an. extension
of 80 days on his recent franchise for
right of way through the streets of
Manchester.
! Mr.. Tebbs appeared before the coun-
Gil in person and explained how during
the recent money stringency in large
Cities it is impossible for him to
raise sufficient funds to begin work on
the road when he had expected. He
stated that if the franchise was grant
ed that it would not be more than so
days before work would be begun on
the new road, that enough stock had
been subscribed to obtain the charter
and right of way over the pike.
Mr.. Tebbs was accompanied by Mr..
Gould, of Cleveland, Ohio, who repre-
sented large capitalists in that city
that are interested in the project, and
made quite favorable impression up
on the business men of Manchester.
He stated that the conditions were
most favorable to the building of the
road with the least expense. Mr.. Gould
while a citizen of Cleveland, had offices
in Annapolis and engineered the build
ing of the electric railway between
Baltimore and Washington which
proved such a great success.

Early Sn0WstOrm.

The snowstorm Saturday was only
the fourth time in the SO years the
Weather Bureau has been keeping
records, that snow has fallen in No
vember. In addition, the snow OF
Saturday nearly broke the record, in
that the earliest November snow that
has fallen in the past 38 years oc-
Cured on November IS, 1904, when a
depth of three inches was recorded.
Thus the snowfall Saturday was with
in a day of breaking the record. The
two other snowfalls in November, ac-
cording to the Weather Bureau rec
ords, were on November 30, 1896
with a depth of three inches, and No
vember 26, 1898, when four and five
tenths inches fell.
According to an ancient law, there
will be IA more snowstorms this win
ter. That is, the venerable rule reads
that upon whatever day of the month
the first snow of the winter falls,
there will be that many more SHOWS.

FOOT BALL.

Western Maryland VS.. Rock Hill Sat-
urday, Nov. 21, on College Field.
The teams are well matched, West
ern Maryland having the advantage
in weight, but Rock Hill is fast and
quick, which will make the game in
teresting from start to finish. Rock
Hill has won all the games played this
season and is working to down West
ern Maryland. Although a number OF
the players of the home team have
not been in the daily scrimmages, due
to injuries received last Saturday their
places have been filled by good men.
There will be two games Thanks
giving Day, both to be played in the
afternoon. The reserves play the
Alpha A. C. of Baltimore, the game to
be called at 1.3O p. m. The Varsity

good records this season and both
have won all the games they played
with State colleges. The game will

Academy Of Music.

AT the Academy of Music, Balti-
more, on Monday evening next, Chas.
Froham will present w. H. Crane,
most popular of comedians, who will
be seen for the first time here in one
of the biggest hits of his long career,
George AIDES remarkably successful
play, Father and the Boys" which
was written especially for Mr.. Crane.
That this combination of actor and
playwright has added immensely to
the popularity of each is matter of
record. 1t was, received with enthu-
siasm everywhere last season, and Mr..
Crane closed his tour with a four
months run at the New York Empire
Theatre.
The story of Father and the Boys"
unwinds about man who is getting
old and who has given all of his life
to business to the end that his boys
might have the things that in his own
young manhood he was compelled to
do without. When his sons go the
pace one in athletics and one in pur-
suit of social honors, to the neglect
of their business, and grow farther
away from him every day, it cuts deep
down into his affections, and all Of
his well meant efforts for their hap
piness are disregarded as being a
thousand years behind the times. A
friend drops hint that it is because
he has no interest in the things that
occupy the minds of the young, and
thus aroused, he confesses that all of
his life he has done without things
for the boys sakes, and given up pleas
ure that he might be an example to
his sons. 1t is at this point that at
a fashionable dinner party in his own
house he meets a vaudeville actress
and becomes attracted to her, by rea-
son of her many charms and her ma
tural goodness, and thro' a manly
desire to be of assistance to young
woman who is about to be swindled
out of some mining property. She
takes the father about with her and
he soon gets a reputation for going
the pace. His sons mistake the ma
ture of the interest and think he has
fallen into the clutches of a design
ing woman who would marry him for
his money.
All works out happily in the end,
of course, and Mr.. Cranes character
is always delightfully."- interesting, now
with brilliant flashes of humor to
brighten it, with quaint and wise old
sayings wittily said, and with gen
erosity of mind and heart that draws
Father very close to the audience.
Charles Froham has given the play
an excellent stage setting, and the
carefully selected company includes
Margaret Dale, Ivy Troutman, Isa-
belle Garrison, Forrest Orr, Robert
Mackay and others.
There will be no Wednesday matt
nee The regular Saturday matinee
will be given and there will be holi-
day matinee on Thanksgiving day.

RAILWAY BEAUTY SPOTS.
PhI0x and Hydrangeas For Stations
Blue Grass For Right of Way.

One of the good things for which
people have to thank the railroads is
the progress they are making in beau
tifying their right of way.
1t is the practice of the Pennsylva-
mia, as Moody's Magazine points out,
to surround its passenger stations with
little parks with terraces and grace
fully curving paths and roadways To
care for these station parks is part of
the duty of the maintenance of way
department, just as it is to keep the
rails and ties in good order Flowers
and shrubbery are planted in artistic
plots, and gardeners keep them fresh
and flourishing.
At a station on the Long Island rail-
road, which is subsidiary of the
PENNSYLVANIA, 600 trees and shrubs
besides beds of phlox and hydrangeas
were set out in 1907. For another sta
ton on the Long Island railroad 425
shrubs and twelve trees have been
ordered of the so called perennials and
evergreens.
In tn open country, too, far from
towns, the Pennsylvania has adopted
the policy of making it's right of way
pleasant to look at. Slopes of insight
ly rock or dirt are transformed into
green terraces
Henceforth the standard roadbed
when the tracks are in cut, will in
clude the sodded slopes. Blue grass
used for sodding will prevent the ero-
sion which has given engineers SC
much trouble in times past. In help
ing to solve the drainage problem the
grass is even more useful than it is
ornamental.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-11-20
The Life Plant.

Bermuda possesses plant of the
house leek family which has curious
properties. When the leaves begin to
shrivel and fade they put forth new
shoots, which in turn bear leaves that
continue to grow fresh and green for
many weeks. The leaves are about
four inches long, rich green in color
and of waxen texture. If one of the
leaves is pinned to wall indoors it
will begin to sprout within three or
four days, be it winter or summer
The limit of existence of the life plant
seems dependent upon the quantity of
heat and light which the plant obtains.

Hot Water for Grip.

The advantage of hot water taken
inwardly is we'll known, but not every
one knows that it has been found val
liable in fighting grip.
A famous doctor, noted for the
speedy cure of his grip patients, says
he attributes his success to the fact
that he always puts his patients tc
bed at the first sign of the disease and
makes them drink quantities OF hot
water This should be taken at inter
walls of every two hours and as hot az
can be drunk without burning ths
tongue end throat.

Wage Scale for Belgium.

1t Is not generally known that the
municipalities in most of the towns
of Belgium have a minimum rate OF
wages which they authorize for the
carrying out of contracts for NUM-
cipal work which are open to public
competition, and the current rates of
wages in the various towns have these
scales of minimum rates of wages for
their basis The manufacturing in
dustries are on different footing, and
the several classes of workers receive
pay in accordance with the quality Of
their work.
