This is particularly true Of residences

that concrete residences in which there Is
practically 40 cembustible material can
be constructed, and that without making
the slightest concessions TO either ap-
pearances or utility. Safety from fire,
combined with cheapness, has now be-
come the great problem in the construc-
t!on Of residences. and this IS fast being
solved by concrete. For the trim OF con-
crete residences concrete itself is well
adapted. being both better and cheaper
than wood. BY the employment of metal

can be made as eheaply as the straight

PLAN ENORMOUS ORCHARD.
Eastern Capitalists spend Fortune
on Desert Land.

Eastern capitalists have bought LOO
acres Of cut-over timber land near Boyer,
Idaho. for $4,000. and will expend 500. 200
in clearing the tract and setting IT to
apple and pear trees, making ii the larg-
est single orchard in the State OF Idaho.
Work Is TO begin in short time, the
company using powerful engines and
blasting powder to tear out the stumps
instead of employing horses and axmen.
Until d few years ago il was generally
believed that the cut-over lands in
Northern Idaho were suitable only for
grazing and grain growing. but experts
have demonstrated they are adapted TO
all kinds of fruit, as well as garden
products.

WILL WIDEN SCHOOLS.

In his annual report, forwarded to the
Philippine secretary Of public instruction.
Director White recommends that educa-
ton be made compulsory While the
total enrolment reaches 100000. and the
present facilities are inadequate TO han
die this number, yet the chief reasons
why more satisfactory results are not OBJ
tanned IN the barrio schools, Mr.. White
states. is the irregularity of attendance.
In another part of the report it is OBJ
served that recently a single dealer in
Manila received an order from the United
Stats for million Filipino hats. In 1905
over 100000 hats were exported, but only
10000 went to the United States.

Attempts to sell American hops in Ger
many have not met with great success
in the past. as the German brewers do

meet the demand The crop in Germany
last year was very short. but the pros

this point rests the contention of the

by the shippers, is arbitrary and with

On account of the cold weather. it has
been impossible to determine from the

whether the railroads are correct. as
only hot weather can decide the
