each near the larger cities. They will
operate truck farms and raise small
fruits. Intensive farming has SO long
been practiced by these people that
they can produce tie greatest possible
output on the smallest tract of land.

this state for vegetables and the small
fruits. will it is thought, afford mar

HAPPENS AROUND HERE
Twenty Laborers Arrived this Morn
Ing and Have Not Yet Been
Axle to Find the
Agent.

Walking into the outstretched arms
of the man who was going to take
them where there was plenty of work
and big pay they simply had to face
things as any one would and admit
that they had been "stung." The
bunch that arrived this morning had
been promised work in the wheat
fields of Dakota and expected that
there would be person waiting for
them at the depot with an open bag.
full of money with which to pay their
transportation to the land of laborers.
But they must now look out for their
own affairs for the agent did noa nor
never will arrive.

curance on the levee, some victims
coming on boats and some on trains,
all looking for the agent A group
of young fellows came upon boat

Ter more than their Z passage was
worth, and asked a policeman where

was going to see that they got employ

many others have hee-. and are being
and will continue to be.

Fl Their scheme is this. A man comes
to them and says that he wants EN-

Mr.. Pierce and Estirable Family

1t is With the Deepest Regret that
Members see the Former GEN

the City.

E. W. Pierce, for the past four years,
general secretary for the Y NJ C. A.
leaves this evening with Mrs. Pierce
and children for the east eventually
stopping at Boston where they will

Mr.. Pierce came to this city in
1905 from St. Louis at which place
he was assistant secretary of the st.
Louis Association. During the resi-
dence of he and his estimable wife Iii.
this city, the local association has
prcspered and has taken on rapid
growth in the last few years, due larg-
ely to the able direction OF the resign
ed general secretary and it is with the
deepest regret that the officers and
members of the association bid fare
well to Mr.. Pierce who has been the
secretary for the past few years.
His new work will be in much
| larger association /, in which there are
many departments, the association at
Boston having at the present time
over 5000 members. The religious
work department is one of the largest
4 in that association as it is in every
Y. NJ. G.. "A. in the country and the
position is responsible one and one
which Mr. Pierce will be well able to
handle during his experience in this
4 city and in the ST. Louis association.

me wondered this morning why the
as we're not running about nine
o'clock, and the trolley wagons were
Mt making schedule time. On an
out trip to the park, Motorman Roy
Huston, new employe Of the line,
rot into trouble at the curve on Thir-
sfeenth and Franklin street by getting
lis trolley rope entagled with one of
lie span wires while the car was
mining the corner. He went up on
tan Of the car and without thinking
started to untangle the rope and span
wire when he received shock of suf-
fcient force to throw him to the roof
\ n the car and had the current been
INV stronger he would would probably
have been thrown to the ground be-
low and badly hurt. AS 1t was, he
escaped without so much as having his
hands burned from the wire.
About the time Huston was knock
Cd down Ly the shock, another car
happened along and the motorman
lifted up the wire with his coat
sleeve and the little dsfIicnlty was
straightened out. The rain of last
4 night and this morning had made a
ground quite damp this morning and
had the motorman of the first car
received the full voltage of tae trolley
wire instead Of one OF the span
) wires, he might not have come W

Mr.. ]. Z. GAME, SECRETARY.

The selection of Mr.. Joseph Z. Caiuc
as secretary Of the Commercial club
was the natural and appropriate thing
for the board Of governors 10 do. Mr.
Caiuc has been extremely efficient and
courteous for many months as assistant
secretary. Upon him tho chief labors
of tho sccrotaryship have dcvolyCd in
tho long illness and partial disability
of Mr., Harris; aud that he has filed
the position well and TO the acceptance
of all the members is tribute 10 him
from which there will be no dissent
1t is natural thought upon the death
OF man such as Mr.. Harris. who has
occupied a position such as be had oc
cupicd in il since the formation of the
Commercial club. that no one can iii
his place And in mauy ways as ap
piled 10 Mr. Harris, this usual obscrya-
tion will bc conceded to be true. Mr.
Harris was-a man of various and high
gifts. and he devoted them all unstiut-
ingy TO the service Of the club
And yet it is another saying that no
man is Indispensable; that some ono al
ways arises who viii acceptsbly ill the
place. And this, VIC believe, will be
found to he true in the case of the
vacancy created by tho death of Mr.
Harris. There is no other Fisher Har.
ris, it is. true; and yet Mr.. Caiue, We
believe, viii continue the good tradi.
tions that Mr. Harris has aifi6 upon
the uuwrittcn constitution and usages
Of tho club; and so. while VIC mourn the
death Of Mr.. Harris as in = way irrepar-
able. we look forward with confidence
and hope TO tho efficient filing Of the
club secrctaryship by Mr.. Caiuc.
