DRY FARMING
Reduced to Il Science and Accom-
pIishing Great Results.

All the science there is to arid far
ming Is so simple that one wonders
how it could have remained unknown
SO long, says Golfers. DIR. Widtsoe
called IL to my attention in the fact
that alongside the road, where wag-
ons sometimes stirred the surface
soil in turning out to avoid mud
holes in bad weather. the deserted
weeds were greener than farther out
where the ground was never stirred.
Among the growing wheat he point
ed out again by showing a sample of
ground that had gone unprepared,
taken eight Inches below the surface
1t was SO dry and dusty that 1t could
be blown from the hand with the
breath. Ten feet away another SAM
pie, taken within the zone of eilIage
at the same depth, was so damp tha.
1t could be rolled into an adhesive
putty ball. "All that we have
DONE" was DR.. Widtsoe's explana-
tion, "has been to open the land
with our plows in the fail to receive
the moisture and then to seal 1t over
with our harrows, so that the capil-
larry ducts, by which the water works
its way to the surface, have been
broken and the land covered by q
separate stirred surface coating that
acts as would a blanket. Wherever
there is over twelve inches of rain
fall year it will produce a crop If
properly conserved. Almost all our
desert has more than this amount Of
rain"
Dry farming crops now are many
in number and range from cereals,
that are well established, to fruits,
melons, corn and potatoes where the
status of the crops may still be said
to be experimental.
In 1905 six State experiment
farms were established in Utah to
demonstrate what crops can be
grown there.

NEVER RODE ON TRAIN BEFORE.
Nineteen-Year-Old Youth from the
Mountains "Came 10 Town"
(Anderson Intelligencer.)

A nineteen-year-old youth from
in the mountains of North Carolina,
near Brevard, yesterday took his
first ride on a train, riding from
Easley to Spartanburg. A newspa-
per man saw the boy on the train
but he refused to give his name, ex-
cept that he lived near Brevard.
He walked with his father from
his home across the mountains to
Easley, distance of over hundred
miles. He visited friends and rela-
tives In the mountains during his
trip. When train No. AZ pulled into
the station at Easley the boys eyes
looked as though they would jump
out with terror. His father had trav-
eled before and was used to the
sight.
He was nearly scared to death
while the train was moving and
crouched low in his seat as though
in terror. What makes that bump
ing noise" he asked the newspaper
man. What are they stopping
for?" do you suppose she'll wrack
to-day?' What he meant by wrack
was that he hoped the train wouldn't
run off the track and be wrecked
The newspaper man asked him If he
ever went to school any liz his life,
and he answered, "Went to school
most two weeks" "And what do
you do?" asked the newspaper man.
Work all year getting bark for the
tract mills" That meant that he
got bark out for the extract mills or
for tanning purposes. Oak and
chestnut bark is ground up into
powder for tanning purposes. "And
what do you raise?" the newspaper
man asked. Raise apples. chest
nuts, and h sometimes
He was asked how he liked riding
on the train and he replied, "a
devil of lots better than that old
OK wagon humping up and down all

Officers Save Negroes Life.

Atlanta, Ga, July 22.-The brav-
cry of Sheriff Mckinney and three
lone deputies, who, with drawn re-
Volvers faced a mob of 900 angry
men at Winnings, Ga, yesterday
saved the life Of Will Webb, negro
charged with criminal assault. Webb
had just been identified by his victim
as the negro who assaulted her Tues
day. He had not yet left her resi-
dence after the Identification when
the armed men and boys, many OF
whom for two days had been ranging
through the woods in search Of him,
determined on lynching, surround
ed the house. They shouted that
the negro's life was theirs, that the
sheriff must hand him over Out
came the revolvers Of the four Off
GERS and with rush they charged
through the mob and leaped into
big automobile which they had in
waiting. Shouting: "Stand back" to
.yhe mob and leveling their revolvers
upon its leaders they hurried out Of
danger and rushed the negro to At
lanta, where he was placed in the
town prison for safe keeping.

Foreign and American Labor Clash,

Butler, Pa, July 17.-Violence oc-
Cured this morning at the plant of
the Standard Steel Car. Company, at
Lyndora, Pa. Several foreigners
were injured, one seriously.
Sheriff Caldwell has sent an ur-
gent message to Harrisburg for State

The foreign workmen at the plants
struck for higher wages yesterday,
necessitating general suspension of
the large works and affecting seve-
raj thousand American workmen on
posed to the strike.
When the mill gates were thrown
open to-day the American workmen
began entering the plant as though
there was no trouble. Several hun
dred foreigners endeavored to stop
them and fight followed.
The foreigners are ugly and obsti-
nate. All the saloons at Lyndora are

Pays Expense of the Farm.
(Salt Lake City Telegram.) }

The history of cotton seed oil is
one Of the wonders of the last gen.
Grafton. Fifty years ago cotton seed
was nuisance to the planters. At
last the experiment was made to
press the oil from the seeds, the
thought being it would be good, per-
haps, for live stock, but when it was
done, an oil expert refined some Of 1t
and found 1t was equal to the very
finest olive oil, and now the oil from
the cotton seeds, as a by-product,
nearly or quite pays the expense of
planting and harvesting the cotton,
leaving the staple as profits.
This ought to open Investigation
in many ways; this ought to be an
incentive to our agricultural schools
to experiment on different plants.
Every one knew all through the years
that there was plenty of oil in cot
ton, but for a full century the
thought that 1t might be made of
value never entered mans mind. We
saw few months ago that paper was
being made out of the cotton stalk,
and that's something which the
schools might all practice on, to see
If there Is not some plant which
grows in abundance and is not of
much value that could be manufac-
tured into paper.
The amou--t Of trees used up for
paper making every year amounts to
great forest. There ought to be a
substitute, either hemp or flax, or
corn or cotton, or something else,
out OF which paper could be cheaply
made. The amount of paper used in
an ordinary metropolitan daily paper
is so great that change Of two cents
a pound for 1t might make a differ
ence between aAprofit and a loss in
years business.

cHERokEEs WILL BE PAID.
After Seventy-Eive Years Govern
ment will Distribute 5000, 900.

Washington, July 20.-A $5,000,-
600 melon that has been ripening
for nearly rs years is at last being
sliced by the government for distri-
button among the Cherokee Indian.
1t has been a standing claim of
the Indians against Uncle Sam since
1888. In that year the government
owed the Cherokees, for land pur-
chased, the sum Of 81 100000, which
lay In the treasury to their credit
with interest at per cent.
Then one fine day an error was
made in the auditing department OF
the treasury and it appeared, accord
ing to the books, that the Cherokees
had nothing to their credit. Their
head men took up tho matter. hired
LAWYERS and for 65 long years labor
ed to establish their claim. They
tried the executive officials and be-
sfeged Congress, but without making
an impression worth a cent to say
nothing of the millions they were af-
ter. They were told that the books
showed they had nothing coming,
and government records being infal-
iible, there was no ground for argu-
ment. So 1T was, year after year, as
the Indians made their pilgrimages
to Washington.
About ten years ago tie aspect OF
things changed somewhat when r.
l.. owens, an attorney Of Muskogee.
/. t., was given charge of the claim.
He was member Of the Cherokee
nation through his mothers side,
while his father was Robert l.. Ow
ems, Firginian, and president Of
TnnnpcCDn Poil
Owens was highly educated, he had
wit and judgment besides, and he
proceeded to make things move. The
first thing to do was to get permis-
sion from Congress to proceed
against the government I'm the Court
of Claims, and prove that the rusting
dollars of the ancient Cherokee fund
really lay in the vaults of the trea-
sury. He got 1t and afterwards re-
peated the achievement, two hear
ings In the Court of Claims being
necessary to prove up the claims Of
the Indians. In the seven years
campaign he conducted Mr.. Owens
induced Congress to pass three bills
and two resolutions necessary in his
work. Anybody feeling that 1t 10 not
much of job to get that much ac-
ton out of the greatest legislative
body In the world has never under
taken any little old task like moving
the Rocky Mountains.
Owens's final contest was to move
the case into the United States Su-
preme Court, and he succeeded in
that in 1906 as he had in all that
went before. The record he submit
ted to the court consisted of 2,70O
printed pages. He argued the case
against the skilled lawyers in the
government service and he won

While on the field of battle he was
elected to the Confederate Congress.
After the war he moved to Norfolk,
where hespracticed law. He served
three terms in Congress from the

General of the United States and
served with distinction for some
time. At one time Mr.. Goode was
