AGRICULTURE IN WEST VIRGINIA

The revival OF agricu ture In
West Virg MIA is subject that has
been receiving cons derabls atten-
ton recently, but no more than is
proper says the Huntington Adver-
tiser.
With the development of the rich
es OF coal and oil and gas, farming
has been neglected in many Sec
tons, and once fertile and product
I've fields are now barren and unpro-
ductiVe. In an agricultural sense
west Virginia has, IN a comparative
sense at least, deserforated IN tho
past two decades, and that this ia
fact is a sad commentary upop
the state.
AS the Wheeling Intelligencer re-
marks there Is nothing OF more Sc
rious hills, bracing and hea thful
revival Of agriculture IN the rich
counties, into which 1t has fallen
INTO decay. 1t Is a reproach 20 the
people OF West Virginia, that with
a fertile soil, well watered ya,lsws
and hills, a braclng and healthful
c innate, they do not produce enough

There is a solace for the serpent.

"The Lieutenant and the Cow
boy" the new western military
drama which comes to the opera
house next Wednesday night, Febru-
ary 3, should not be confounded with
the ordinary clap-trap melo-drama,
for this a play Of sterling worth and
is presented by an extremely capable
company. No better play can pos
sibly be offered the Grants Pass
theatre-goers this season, for the
simple reason that nothing superior
has been written. "The Lieuten-
ant and the Cowboy" is a tense heart
thrilling drama, but so sanely blend
ed that the complete story clings in
ones mind long after the performers
are forgotten. 1t is by no means
gun" play, but two shots being fired
during the four acts, and neither of
them in view Of the audience. 1t is
on the contrary, strictly high-grade
production we'll worth the attention
of our most critical theatre goers.

Estimates for Forestry Service.

William II. Benton, construc-
tion engineer Of the Forestry Service
arrived In Grants Pass on Wednes-
day afternoon. Mr.. Benton has for
his territory the Pacific coast and
Alaska and his branch Of the service
Is to make estimates for the fiscal
year for the roads, trails and bridge
construction, and for other pur-
poses,, so as to make the Forestry
Service more practical each year.
Among the things which are to be
provided for this season is a tele-
phone down the Rogue river, across
the Illinois, valley and down the
Chetco to point on the coast. In
connection with this enterprise some
important trails are to be con-
structed. Mr.. Benton's position is
a very responsible one and to hold
It he must necessarily possess In a
large degree the confidence of the
chief Of the Forestry Department.
His headquarters are in Portland
from which point he visits all Sec
tions of his territory.
