Boys Take Cash and Leave Girls Farm
Boys Take Cash and Leave Girl Farr,
Which Jumps In Value.

Pittsburg. Pa. July 3o.-From $40 an
a record jump in the market value of
farm land, especially as the high price
was paid while the land was still used
for agricultural purposes The property
is the Hogg farm, located in the Con-
nellsville coke region now being much
talked about because of the pending mer-

ating there.
Mr.. Hogg settled some miles out of
Brownsville, buying couple of acres for
$40 to $50 per acre. He was a practical
farmer and prospered so that he was able

entire farm. raised a family of two sons
and two daughters on it. and when he
died he left not only the 100 acres free
of debt but cash and securities amount
ing to several hundred thousand dollars.
AS there was no will the estate went to
his four heirs. The two sons not caring
for farm life especially, agreed to take
the bulk of their fathers cash and Sc
curities as their portion, deciding their in
terest in the farm to the two sisters
The girls married shrewd business men.
AS coal land in the vicinity of the farm
came into greater and greater demand
the two sisters were offered higher and
higher prices for their farm, but their
husbands advised them to wait. And they
waited
. AS the story goes they held onto the
farm until few months ago. when they
sold it = j. V. Thompson and others Of
Uniontown for $1700 per acre, or 81 10000
That gave them nearly 100000 apiece,
against about 100000 which each of the
brothers got years before as their share
of the estate.
The property is not being titled now

Clvdesdale stations in this country,
is dead, at the age of % years. The
morse was owned by Hugh Mathews
and died at Mr.. Mathews farm, near

credited with being the sire of 1000
colts and his descendants are owned
by almost every farmer within a
radius of 20 miles of Pullman. His
colts have sold for from 5000 to ST.
600 each, and he is said to have
done more to improve the stock of
horses in this country than any other
factor. Lord Carlyle was born in

land, said to the Herald reporter:
There is not better tract for irri-
gated purposes in the northwest. The
land lies beautifully and will raise
anv kind of fruit. 1t will make an
ideal settlement for homes and small
orchards. Arthur Bryan expects to

COLLEGE RIFLE CLUB

AS a tribute to the memory of
Ralph E. Davidson, the young ca
Diet officer who was accidentally
killed here this week, a big rife
club is to be organized among the
students and faculty of the state
college The plan has been sug-
gested by Captain Harry f,
Mitchell, commandment of cadets
and has met with great favor. 1t
lis proposed to give the title OR.
Il. Davidson Rifle Club" to the
organization and to have the
teams which compete in the inter
collegiate, national and other rifle
matches, enter under that name,
Captain Mitchell's plan pur-
poses to make membership in the
club open to students of the col
lege who are members of the ca
Diet corps, those who have a com
pleted service in drill and faculty
members and their wives, as well
as to all women of the college.
This plan would Of course make it
an unusually organization as
there is great interest shown here
in target work, especially since
such an impetus as the winning of
the national intercollegiate rifle
match has made itself felt.
1t is planned to take up both
indoor and outdoor work with the
rife as we'll as the revolver, max
ing as a part of the regular work,
instruction in the careful handling
and firing or arms. Indoor work
will be done with % cahbre rifle
and revolver, while on the out
door range the Krag rifle will be
used at 200, 300 and 500 yards.
What is known as the "Sub-tar-
get" machine, device which is
thought excellent for target work
and which uses needles instead of
bullets, will also be at the dis
pOsal of the members.
Captain Mitchell will suggest
that an executive committee of
one member from the faculty, one
from the commissioned officers.
one sergeant, one private, one stu
dent who has completed drill and
one private, be selected for the
business management Of the club.
The commandment has received
word that efforts are being made
to hold the national intercolleg-
late shoot early and to hold sew
eraI of these in different parts Of
the country, provided the plan
now on foot to secure appropria-
tions from Congress sufficient to
carry the winning teams to the
scene of the final shoot, is success

GRAVES HAS MILLIONS
Electric Railroad President CT, :.
Have Raised $1,000, 900 for
Extension Work

Wednesdays Spokane Cbrorio,o
contained an account Ct J. +. Graves
President of the Spokane, & Inland
Empire electric railroad connanv,s
return from New York where he went
TO raise money for the extension of
his lines. 1t is believed that the ex-
tension from Colfax to Pullman 10
included in the improvements for
which money was raised. The
Chronicle says:
me enormous sum of $1,000. 900
may soon be expended on improve
ments and extensions for the Spo-
kane & Inland Empire-the great
Graves electric railway system
the bulk of the work to be started
this year.
That President Jay p. Graves
was given big sum of money by
his eastern associates to carry on the
budget of work planned by the leader
OF the Spokane & Inland for improve
ments, is an open secret. Just how
much this sum totals is known only
to Mr.. Graves, but it is stated that
Spokane & Inland securities are so
valuable that nearly every recon-
mendatiOn made by him called forth
The sums required and that the ag-
gregate will total about 100000.
MIR. Graves arrived in Spokane
Saturday, May /, and before even
his closest associates had an oppor-
tunity of talking business, he Wds
taken down with typhoid fever, from
which he is now slowly recovering.
However, from other sources, word
mas reached Spokane that his bust
ness trip to the east was the biggest
kind of a success and will mean
much TO the city and the Inland Elm
pire, and that n great sum Of money
was placed at his disposal for new
work. Over $3,OO0,0J0 of this
amount will, in ali probability, go
for the Big Bend extension and the
immediate building of this line is
reported to be practically assured
THE starting of new enterprises
is at a stand still at the Inland Of
fees until Mr.. Graves again appears
at his desk but an air of eXpent-
ancy prevails in every department.

Conquered the Frosts

F~ruit-raisefs in the irrigated dis
triets of Colorado are much elated
oyer the success with which weather
conditions have been met in their or
chards this spring. The telephone
has been instrumental in fighting off
the %frosts, the effects of which would
undoubtedly have been fatal to the
crops had not extra precautions been
taken, The story of how the vigil
lance of the f~ruit-raisers was reward
ed reveals a new and interesting tri-
umph of scientific agriculture.
The instances in question are re-
ported from Canon City, in the ranch
section of Colorado. The fruit in
terests here are extensive, and the
annual crop is of great value in the
orchards. When the temperature
drops below freezing point it always
is necessary to ESQ to artificial
means to prevent damage. Accord
ingly the all-important question with
the fruit-growers is the weather.
The Canon City telephone exchange
was of great assistance to the ranch
men this year. Daily weather re-
ports were given out to about %
fruit-growers, and several hundred in
quiries We're received every day from
others interested in the weather pre-
dictions.
On Monday. April 10th, the Bust
ness Mems Association of Canon City
prepared a list of 200 citizens to as
sist in the work of safeguarding the
fruit crop. The volunteers We're scat
tered over the various orchards and
an organized system of protection
was put in operation. Each mans
telephone number wos secured so that
he might be called upon when needed.
Two watchmen were appointed, one
to take up his position in the north
side of the city and the other at the
southern end. These men were to
keep tab on the temperature during
