The trainers OF the county diyi-

day of July, 1909, the funds of Lin

tween Clark and Lincoln counties

OF the two portions for the year

So far. so good. But. 10 and be-

journeyed to Phoebe they found that
the Golfers were empty save for a
bunch of l. O. U.s., amounting to
some $4,000, in the division Of which
they were cordially invited to par
ticipate. Following this discovery
there has arisen considerable dis
cussion as to what to do in the alb
sence Of any legal authority on the
part of Clark county to start off
shouldering current deficit
However, from the Bulletins vie
point all this discussion is idle If
Lincoln county had something we

it is a mathematical impossibility to

UNHoLY PROFITS.

In spite of the general CONNER
cial depression which is only now fin
ally passing away, the American
Smelling & Refining company and it's
allied corporation, the SHELTERS Sc
cureties company, both enjoyed a
prosperous year for the period ending
April 30th last. While the American
Smelling & Refining sompany's state
ment shows decrease in gross earn
ings of $257,0O0. the net earnings
show an increase of no less than
$332.000, accounted for by a radical
reduction In expenses and the shaw
ing down of appropriations for new
construction and Improvements.
The net income was $7.343,000, with
dividend payments of $500, 900, as
compared with $1,000 900 for the pre-
vious year. The surplus is placed at
$1,843,0 900, as compared with $11,.9O,
while the total surplus at the close Of
the year is placed at $15,251 900.
It is very evident from these fig
ures that there Is as yet no crying
need of special tariff legislation in
behalf of the Guggenheims They ap-
pear fully able to look after them
selves and have shown no disposition
to fogret the many tricks which have
squeezed tribute from the producer In
the past and which still continue
to extract the last cent. While the
exact value of seat in the United
States senate has not yet been Of
ficially determined, it Is certain that
the Guggenheim family will soon be

In addition to this, small force
of men working on the Gelder claim
near the center of the property, abou
one-quarter of a mile northeast of the
main shaft, are sinking an incline
shaft on vein carrying two feet of
the red iron manganese ore on the
hanging wall and an 8-inch streak
of siliceous ore carrying lead car
Donates and $40 to $12 per ton in
gold values on the foot wall. This
work is about 800 feet up the hill
from tunnel No. II, which is driven
240 feet into the hill on strong
vein of lead, silver and gold ore.
The indications are that the vein
in the tunnel and the one in the in
cline shaft will join within the next
| 100 feet"
The cost of shaft work, including
timbering and cutting station at
the 260-foot level is placed at $17.1s
per foot; while the coss-cutting was
done for 1925 per foot. The Phoebe
Mines property is situated between
the Ely-Valley and Chicago evads

CELERY FOR HOME AND MARK
Vegetable Loves Cool Climate and a
Light, Fertile, Humus-Laden,
Moist Soil.

Although requiring rather peculiar
climatic and soil conditions, yet eel
cry can be grown both for home use
and market over wider area than
most people think. Almost everybody
Is fond of celery, and 1t is healthful
vegetable food. With a little study
and experience in growing 1t, celery
might be on the table Of ten times
the number of homes tAat 1t now is.
and 1t might be grown for market by
twice the number Of gardeners that
already grow 1t.
Celery loves a cool climate, and a
light, fertile, humus-laden, moist soil.
The ideal climatic conditions for the
production of celery are bright sun
shine, pure air, cool nights and a
well distributed rainfall Of about
eight inches during the growing pc
Rod in the field or garden.
In the production of celery for do
nestle use, rich, mellow, sandy loan
will give the best results. The soil
Of the seed bed should contain plenty
Of leaf mold and should be passed
through a sieve having not less than
six meshes to the inch. The soil
Of the transplanting bed need not be
sifted so fine, and some we'll rotted
barnyard manure should replace a
part Of the leaf mold; in other re-
spects 1t should be the same as the
seed bed.
Any fertile, we'll drained soil will
grow celery, but rich, loose, sandy
.oam is preferable. The soil cannot
well be made too rich, and the pres
snce Of large amount of humus or
vegetable mold is an essential for
large and rapid growth. In the re.
yions where peat boys or muck soil
abound the crop may be more easily
produced on these than on any other
soils, but the keeping qualities are not
30 good, and the flavor is never equal
to that of celery grown on sandy
oam, or even on clay soils. II nothing
but clay soil is available, It may be
made to produce good celery by lib.
sral application Of well rotted ma.
nure. On clay soils there is likely to
be injury caused by the soil becom-
ing washed into the hearts of the
plants while they are yet small.

NEW VARIETIES OF TOMATOES
For Special Table use-Requlred BY
Large Hotels - Greenhouse
Grown Fruit Most Desirable.

The forcing of tomatoes under glass
has assumed considerable proportions
in the middle and northern states
and the demand for the green
homegrown crop is steadily in
creasing. This is due to the fact that
tomatoes when grown under glass are
superior to those that are grown IN
the extreme southern states and
which must necessarily be picked
partially green and shipped long dis
tances before reaching our markets
For special table use, such as is de-
manded by large hotels, the green
homegrown fruit will always be In
demand. A number of varieties have
been put on the market for cultiva'
ton under glass. Some of these are
very good, but none has all the char
acteristics which would render II
ideal. The ideal tomato is one with
the following characters combined:
/. A fruit without a depression al
the stem end.
2. A round fruit without ridges.
3. A fruit with the interior well
formed and compact.
4. A fruit of medium size growing
In large clusters.
s. A plant having the first flowers

Late Potatoes.

Potatoes planted after June 1 may
not mature before frost. Potatoes,
like other crops, need plant food. Pc.
tato soils should be well supplied with
humus to increase their capacity for
retaining water. Drought is a Sc.
rIous enemy to the crop. Humus IL
best supplied by blowing under
clover. If stable manure is used It
should be applied year ahead of the
potato crop.
