DRY FARMING AS
HELP TO FARMERS
Press Aids Dissemination Lead
ers In Every District Set Ex-
ample for All to Follow.
By Edwin A. Smith. snokane.

By Edwin A. Smith, Spokane.
The most valuable feature of the drv
farming congress is the persistent en-
deavor of its officials to make the de-
alterations of immediate use to the
average farmer the world over.
The new and old settlers in the dry
farming area of the northwestern
states, who would be most benefited
by its teachings, will not, as a class,
be at the fifth sessions in Spokane the
first week in October, yet 1 believe
the congress primarily exists for the
benefit of dry land farmers in all
countries under the sun.
The farmers are obtaining informa-
ton regarding methods and practices
through the extension work originated
by John 7. Burns, secretary of the
congress, from whose Office in Spokane
the dry farming bulletins are sent to
where they will do the most good.
In the next place the dry farmers
are reached more effectively by local
leadership. In every community the
progressive farmers are missionaries in
better farming. 1t is Of the utmost i'm
portance that these men, not only
in every community in the Inland EN-
pire but everywhere throughout the
dry farming states, should regard it as
duty and privilege to attend the
next sessions.
The 5-talent men and the 10-talent
men can not escape the obligations of
community leadership. They need the
information and the inspiration of the
great gathering Of fellow workers
They are capable Of hearing the
scientists at the congress, not only
with profit to themselves but Otter
with a discerning ability to translat,
that information and to transmit thai
inspiration in language and methods
adapted TO their own neighborhoods.
In this extension work-the lOca
leaders can find no aid more Willingly
given or of greater effectiveness thar
that Of the newspaper and more es
pecially the country press, editors o.
which are in the closest touch witt
the farmers.
Doing this great work in an ade
quate way ] believe the dry farmin,
congress deserves the fullest support
in time and money, Of public-spirite'
men of each community, as well as o
men Of national leadership.

GREATPILESOFG GOLD
Sent ACROSS The ATLANTIC
During PAST WEEK.
Bandits of the Air Are Now Feared by
Treasure Ships Carrying Gold-Big
Liners May Be Equipped With Air
ships to Chase and Recapture-On
One Boat $10,000,000.

Captain Kidd IS grievous error in liv-
ing century and half too early in
history was shown conclusively this
week, when $17 900, 900 worth of gold
coin and bullion was shipped to Eng
land from New York, but notwithstand-
ing this fact it is now pointed out that
at least one of the transatlantic steam
ships had begun to scent danger from
sky pirates and before long the ocean
greyhounds that carry millions in gold
back and forth may be equipped with
dirigible balloons to give chase to in
vaders that may slip from some spot
on the bleak Atlantic coast or the shores
of the British isles, swooping down on
the treasure-carrying ships unawares
Heaviest Gold Shipment.
On Tuesday last the Kronprinzessin
Cecile carried away from New York,
consigned to London, $1O,OOO,OOO gold,
the greatest amount that has ever
p been taken from this port on a single
vessel. On Wednesday the Campania
followed with another $4,5OO,OOO, the
two shipments combined making the
heaviest outlet of gold in any week of
the markets history. Until these ship
ments the week of May IA, 1904, had
held the record Of outflow with $13,-
100000; that was the record shipment
until Tuesday.
The increased output of gold in
America indicates that the export of
gold from New York will become much
heavier. Elaborate precautions are be
ing taken for safeguarding shipments
of the metal but the strides of avia
tion adds a new danger. Treasure ships
are safe from aeroplanes, the only thing
10 be feared now are the dirigible bal
looms, capable of carrying five and sis
men and thousands of pounds of excess
weight. The use of dirigible balloons
makes it possible for outlaws TO Ian,
in some secluded spot with theil
plumber. The danger from Launches
is O minimum, because vessels mus
touch at a point with their cargo OF
loot With q balloon the gold could
be taken 10 some point removed from
the coast line.

have given chase to the three chiefs
-Ballo. Grisalfi and Galiofo, but they
always manage to escape to their
mountain dens even when their pur-
suers converge on the mountain roads
from three different points Of the is
land. The poorer classes are on the
side of the banditti and many who
are more substantial fear to assist the
police lest death or destruction of
property comes in swift revenge.
Eight murders, four fires and
number Of destructive vineyard raids
have been carried out by the Malta,
and several prominent merchants of
Palermo have received threatening
letters. Tribute is being Ievied on all
who have property in the remoter
districts and most of them have paid
to secure immunity from personal
violence. The authorities are at their
wits end to deal with the outbreak.

DER KAISER EXPLAINS
HIS RELATION TO GOD

Danzig.-Emperor William at a
dinner the other night in the castle
at Marienburg the old seat of the
Knights of Malta, made speech
which was a counterpart of that de-
livered last week at koenigsburg.
Taking up the religious vein of the
Koenigsbury speech, which his majes-
ty evidently regarded as having been
misunderstood by the press, he said:
when l represented myself, like
my sainted grandfather as being un-
der the protection Of the highest and
as working under the highest COM
mission of our Lord and God, l as
sumed that every honest Christian,
wherever he might be, did the same.
Whoever works in this spirit
knows well that the cross imposes OBJ
legations.
I'VE should hold together in broth
erly love and We should leave to each
race its peculiarites. The races and
trade organizations should join hands
for common work and for meeting the
states necessities.
Let the farmer join hands with
the merchant and the latter with the
manufacturer; let the members Of
one party join hands with those of a
different mind for achieving great
things for the fatherland."

PARLIAMENT is MOCKERY.
Scotch Manifesto Makes Certain In
cOngruities Palmer Than Ever.

London.-The Times ana other
Unionist journals affect to ridicule
the manifesto issued by the commit
tee Of Scottish members in favor Of
Scottish Home Rule. Notwithstand-
ing this, the document undoubtedly
represents a serious movement which
has been gathering strength rapidly
in recent years, and its appearance at
this juncture is certain to have an
important influence on the public
mind.
However Tory papers may try to
shut their eyes to the fact. the con-
clusion has surely, If not slowly, i'm
pressed itself on the minds of peo-
pie that the present condition of par
liamentary affairs cannot last. The
absurdity of asking parliament to
legislate for the domestic needs Of
more than 100000 Of people of diff
ferent races and different economic
conditions, and at the same time to
conduct the affairs of the empire at
large has become more and more ap-
parent.
The thing has truly become a mock
cry of representative government, and
everyone who is not blinded by party
prejudice recognizes that the sooner
some change is brought about the bet

Fifty Years a Teacher.

Boston. Aug. 31.-After fifty years
of active service in teaching the
young idea how to shoot, Prof Sam
uel Thurber will begin a well-earned
rest. Mr.. Thurber, who has been
master in the English department of
the girls high school since 1891. was
retired on a pension by the city today
The aged pedagogue was born in
1897 and graduated from Brown Uni
versity in 1858. He became princi-
pal of the classic department of the
Providence high school the same year
and since then, except for a period of
service in the union army during the
civil war, he has been actively engag-
ed in teaching
Prof. Thurber, in speaking of his
experiences, said that girls were more
honest and industrious than boys, and
needed less watching, but that a
teacher could arouse more intellect
ual enthusiasm among boy students,
Boys, he said responded to intellec-
tual stimulus with greater zest than
girls.

WOMAN WORRIES MAYOR.
Aviator OF Fair Sex Dons Knicker-
bockers and Official Objects.

Paris.-A woman aviator, with the
curious name of Mile Abugaia, is in
constant conflict with the mayor of
Etampes, in which town, or rather,
outside of which town, she flies. The
mayor is stickler for what he con-
siders .propriety in dress. What may
be suitable in the air does not befit
the earth. Every day Mile Abukaia
puts on knickerbockers and overalls
to fly.
The mayor does not object, but as
there is no dressing accommodation
on the aviation field she has to go
home still wearing knickerbockers.
This shocks the mayor. Every day
Mile. Abukaia flies, and every day as
she re-enters the highly respectable
city Of Etampes an officiali deputed
by the mayor, takes a summons out
against her for being Improperly clad.

La Grande, Or.-One hundred and

won a signal round in bitter fight
by managing to get a temporary re-
straining order from Circuit Judge
Knowles.
The directors had ordered work.
men to commence tearing down what
Is known as the old courthouse build
ing at Union, which was recently pur-
chased by the county court, along with
the site on which it stands. The school
board wants to build the new high
school on the court house site. but
practically every business man and
prominent taxpayer of the city wants
the new building constructed on a
site which they say is more commo-
dious and more centrally located.
There has been a constant strife
| over the matter for two weeks, but
the climax came this afternoon. The
board ordered the building razed. but
while the workmen were getting ready
an emissary Of the taxpayers hurried
to La Grande with a petition previous

injunction from Judge Knowles, bum

had eight years of growth. but it had
done remarkably we'll in that time, as

DyspeptiC Philosophy.

If a man never made a bet he would
never know how poor his judgment IS.
Geese are proverbially silly. They don't
know enough to come in out Of the rain,
The pen is only mighuer than the sword
when it has the ink to help it cut
At any rate it is better to be kicker
than a kickee.
Memory is the quality that enables a
man to forget judioiously.
1t doesn't pay to cry over spilled milk
nor to grieve more than a dollars worth
over lost dollar
It's a good plan TO get out of the way
Of the man who is riding his hobby.
Many girl thinks she has a broken
heart when all she needs is a liver pill.
The efforts of some people trying to make
both ends meet resemble a dog chasing his
tail.
We all live to be thankful for some OF
the failures Of our youth.
Just because a man doesn't act like a
game cock doesn't prove that he is
chicken hearted.
