tice through all parts of this country 70
follow the so-called 'one-crop" sys-
TEN of farming. When rice is The
principal product, other crops are not
raised; when hemp, other crops are
neglected This is a very miserable
method of farming because when rice
or hemp fail to grow the people sur
fer very much from hunger, directly
or indirectly.
Diversified farming" is just the
method that the Filipino must put at
once into practice. On account of this
fact he determines to raise more
crops than he has ever raised before.
in order to get more profit. With
his gains he can buy better instru.
ments and carabos for his farm. Now
he can raise as many crops as he de-
sires.
First of al, he plants rice, after rice
is harvested he can plant one-half his
land with mangoes and the other half
with corn. After that he can raise
many kinds of vegetables and so on
keeping on planting and planting.
This process of diversified farming IS
very advantageous to the farmer as
well as to the land itself. To the
farmer he can get always much profit,
his chief aim. To the land. its soil
becomes better and richer, consequent
ly more productive. For this reason
the farmer is now very dilgent to
raise many crops.
No person can obtain much wealth
from his land unless he guards it, and
takes care of his crops. Therefore
the farmer wants to live permanently
on his farm.
Practice declares that the success
of the plants to grow, depends main
ly on water. SO irrigation is needed
always in every time. Irrigation is
needed to soften the land The farmer
has often heavy thought how he can
bring water from the river to his
crops.
Many young men now are about to
finish courses in agriculture. These
young men are the realization Of the
Filipnos hopes. These are the farm.
ers of modern times. They will in
not many years more set the examples
and others will follow, seeing that the
importance of the PHILIPPINES and her
rank among the nations in the future
depends upon the strength of the
farmers arms. Scientific methods Of
farming will be employed a great
rivalry will spring up among the far
mers. This little word rivalry" will
be the means to hustle the country
onto the platform Of success and pro
claim to the world that the Philip
pines is worthy the name-"Pearl OF
the Orient"
Very soon modern instruments will
be in use by all, then more land can
be cultivated and bigger and better
crops harvested. Bigger and bette,
crops mean bigger and better money,
and so my country will reach a higher
stage Of usefulness and happiness and
contribute the greatest possible sery.

CANADIAN LUMBER ADVANCES.
Increased Demand Is Reported at a
Meeting Of British Columbia Man.
ufacturers at Vancouver,

Vancouver, B. c., April 16.-Lum-
ber prices, which have been stiffen-
ing owing to an increasing demand
from the Canadian Northwest, will
be advanced shortly as a result of a
conference of the members of the
British Columbia Lumber and Single
Manufacturers Association, Ltd, in
the rooms of the association, in Van
couver today. A member of the as
sociation stated today that it will be
only short time before a move in
that direction is made.
"At present there is no rigid base
price," said this lumBerman, "but it
is generally accepted that $40 for
rough lumber is the rule. This is al
together too low to permit of a pro-
fit, and an advance must come.
"Sawmill men claim that if they
received SIT per thousand feet for
their product for the rest of the sea-
son, they would not make up their
losses for last year. Any advance
on the coast will be followed by an
increase in the prices at the noun
tain mills. Coast mills are now re-
ceiving plenty of ORDERS"

this they are, it is thought safe to
state, backed by over rs per cent of
the people of the county. If in the
face of such opposition, the commits
sioners determine to go ahead and
build each and every one of that
body will be ostracized from politics
in the future of this county.
Thinking that by this move he
can make his home town a perman-
ent county seat, one cannot blame
Mr.. Arland much for his share in
the deal, but with Hopkins and Da-
Wis it is different-they have moth
ing to gain and much to lose. To
anyone at all concersant with the
sentiment of the people, it is evl-
dent that Montesano, on account of
Eher lack of good faith, can never
win another county seat fight.
Hence it follows that the Harbor, in
incurring the expense of another
court house, is simply throwing a
sop where none is needed. One of two
things is evident, this county must
sooner or later be divided, or the
seat of government must go to the
Harbor, and as the division element
is SO weak, it looks as though the
latter alternative would be the one
to carry. If this be true, then why
commission be willing to give Mon
tesano a court house when all the
rest of the county objects to her hav-
ing it? This matter is respectfully
referred to the commissioners them
selves"

INDIAN WHALE CHASE,
Chief of Quinaielts, Issues Challenge

A. Y. P. Exposition.

Taholah, head chief of the Quin-
aielts, and Pe-ka-nim, ,sub-chief of the
same tribe and head man of the Hobs,
to all tribes of Indians everywhere,
and especially to their old enmies,
the King George Indians of Vancou-
yer Island, have issued challenge

men to each canooe and they will be
provided with all the implements and
parapnernal1a Tor capturing whales.
In the otter canoe race there will be
three men to each canoe, similarly
provided. The third event will be an
upset" canoe race of 500 yards,

D. Chapman, chairman Of the Che
halls county executive committee.
Tahola. otherwise known as Chief
Mason, the hereditary and actual
chief of the Quinaielts, is the chief
who, in July 1, 1856, signed treaty

perintendent Of Indian affairs. He is
now more than so years old.

A. SEASON Opens
ROWLAND'S BLACK CATS TAKE
TWO CAVES FROM SPOKANE.
Aberdeen Fans A.. Delighted w.th
the Successful Opening, and Al
ready Have Visions of Pennant.
Elma Defeats Picked Nine from
aberdeen Yesterday.

SPOKANE, April 1S.-The Aber-
deem Black Cats took the second game
from the Spokane Indians this after
noon bn q hotly contested field, and
pafter some pretty rough work. Per-
noll was in the box for Aberdeen,
and pitched great ball, and received
splendid support on the bases and in
the field. He held the Indians down
to 8 hits, and but errors were
scored against the Black Cats. Killa-
ly pitched splendid ball for Spokane,
allowing but hits, but the tally of
errors tells the story, and Aberdeen
quit winner with the score of to3.
A crowd of 5000 watched Aber-
deem take the opener from Spokane
yesterday by score of to 2. The
game was fast and hard fought from
start to finish. Rusty Wright of the
Indians, held the game safe for seven
innings, but in the eighth, after an
error by James and a couple of hits,
with four runs and were never head
ed.
Sewer pitched great game, and
kept the hits we'll scattered. James
led the work with the stick, get
ting four bingles out of four times
up.
Both teams pleyed good ball, and
from the sample shown in the initial
contest Aberdeen will make some of
the other towns go the limit to win.
Lee June made a sensational catch in
the sixth, coming in on the full run
on a short fly from Wright. With
two on in the eighth, Moore cleared
the bases with three-base hit.
Ostdiek held the Aberdeen runners
close to the sacks and caught the two
who tried to steal yards away. Her.
bert got in front of everything, but
while Altman was not so busy, the
Spokane third baseman's work was
brilliant. When Campbell tried to
go from first to third on sacrifice,
Altman and James worked one of
the most Sensational double PLAYS
ever seen here.
Altman was a wonder. HIS circus
catch in the bleachers was really
outshone by piece of quick think
ing when he got back to third base
after throwing out LeJune on sac
rifice in time to touch out Campbell,
who was trying to go from first to
third on the play. James covered
first base and whipped the ball back
like shot, with confidence that Alt
man would get back there in time to
receive it. James took nine chances
in ten, dropping an easy fly in the
sun. Connors played a great game
at first, and hit the ball like dea-
mon, but the jinks was on the In
dians. The first ball on line like
a rifle shot, straight into the hands
Of Third Baseman Herbert. In the
second inning Ostdiek ripped the
ball on a line over third base, with
James on third, that raised the chalk

quick upturn of a cent On report
Of damage from rust in he Red River

Kenyon who Is at Bradley, s. D., said
the durum wheat in that vicinity had
been badly damaged by blight.
Coupled with this was a low tenn
perature throughout the Canadian
northwest that threatened the frost
line pretty closely. Frost the LIST of
August is almost an unheard of
thing hence do not place much cred
ence In this report. The 178 cars re-
ceived here were mostly from the
