Opening Of the Schools.

No lover Of his race or country
can contemplate the regular open
ing of the schools this month
without feeling Of profound sole.
itude for the welfare and training
Of the children and young people.
A fact which has never been fully
understood and appreciated, in con-
nection with educational work, Is
that home life should take on q
new order and spirit. relative to.
and In connection with the opening
Of our schools. Every child and
young person should be made to
feel this new order and spirit, in
the home, just as effectively and
rcsolutely as in the school room.
The whole family life should &C.
commodate itself to school life.
Meals should be planned in con.
formity with the necessary hours
of school work. The clothing OF
children and young people should
be thoughtfully put into neat and
substantial order. thus impressing
the young minds with practical,
parental solicitude, which will 60
far toward inspiring them with 9
realization of the great dignity and
importance of the work of the
school room. There should be
much patient and wise and con.
genial school talk" around the
table and Preside. Children and
youths should be made to under.
stand, now that school has again
opened. that nothing absolutely
nothing ID to come habitually In
the way Of school duties. Atten.

pertinent are to be enforced and
maintained, and spirit Of kindness
and courtesy Is to be inculcated, on
the play grounds md In all recrea.
tive and social intercourse and
association. 1t must never be
forgotten-t the home life is the
other side of school life. In the
sympathetic and practical unity Of
obligation and effort on the part Of
the home and the school only can
the best results be obtained-other.
wise our educational work will lag
and limp and fall infinitely short OF
best results. Let the superintend.

schools also remember that they
are not only to inspire and conduct
the school life according to the

SPOKANE, Wash. July S.-(special)-
Competition for desirable foreign settlers
never was so keen as II Is today, but
eventually. / believe. we shall be able to
locate many of the better classes Of north
ern Europeans In the Northwestern and
Pacific states"
L. ]. Bricker Of St. Paul. general i'm
migration agent OF the Northern Pacific
Railway company. said this in Spokane to-
day:
For a long time the northwest had the
call on all the northern European immi-
grants. but lately the southwestern states
and territories and the Canadian northwest
have been getting the majority.
I'm both those sections, however, desir-
able land which can be homesteaded Is
now getting scarce and decided lands com
mand almost as high price as they do In
the inland empire and throughout the Pa
ciflc slope country. This has caused the
pendulum to start swinging back again
and l believe that from now on we shall
get larger percentage Of the most desir'
able class Of homeseekers that we have Of
late.
THE movement from the eastern and
middlewestern states should resume with
full force just as soon as the crop figurei
Of the northwest are available. i look Il

Los Molinos Ranch
Open to Colonists
Ten Thousand Acres of California
Land is Taken Up by Wealthy
Fasteners.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, July s.-(special)
The purchase of the Los Molinos ranch
of 10000 acres OF well improved and well
watered land in Tehama county, California
situated directly on the Southern Pacific
railroad and with a steamboat landing on
the Sacramento river, by Frank Vanderlip,
president of the National City bank of New
York City. and some of his Wall street
associates and several well known Pacific
coast capitalists, has caused a stir among
people who have known the ranch for
years. 1t is known that the plan OF the
new owners is to cut up this great ranch
and open II for colonization In tracts Of
from ten acres up and to make a model
colony on the great ranch. The fact that
the ranch is covered with live oak groves
makes II an ideal place for the building Of
bungalows and for the keeping of dairy
cows to be fed on alfalfa grown on the
ranch and of poultry and stock to be fed
on grains produced there. The fact that
oranges lemons. apples. cherries, apricots
and all kinds of fruit grown in the state
are now produced on the ranch induced
the new owners to take hold of this land
as suitable for their scheme of building an
ideal colony where same would bring
handsome incomes to those living In same.

Harvest Preparation
is On in Full Blast in
Rocky Ford Region
cantaloupes Well Along in Growth
and Melons Will Be on Mar
ket in August.

ROCKY FORD. Colo, July ESPECIALLY
The Arkansas valley of Colorado is In
the midst Of the harvest preparation period
and at this time can best be- seen the ex-
tent of extensive farming, and its applica-
tion to the crops of this section. Canta-
loupes are well along in growth, and ex-
perts of this section feel that the first
genuine Rocky Ford melons will be on
the market about the second week in
August. and from that time until the
middle or last OF September shipping will
be heavy. Last year approximately 100
cars of these melons were expressed from
the Rocky Ford district. and the amount
promises to be even larger this year. Each
car represents about $500. which gives
some idea of the extent of the melon in
dustry In this section.
The sugar industry here is second to
none. however. and the sugar factories
for extracting sugar from beets, located at
Rocky Ford, Las Animas Holly and Swlnk
are being made ready for the fall cam
paigns. The local factory. one of those
operated by the American Beet Sugar COM
.pany, has something like $500 acres OF
beets being grown for IT, and other fac
tories OF this and other companies in the
valley are fairly well supplied with beei
acreage. an increase over last year.
Beet thinning is in full blast about the
valley. and something like $4,000 will b'
distributed to field labor for handling
the beet crop OF this section. Alfalfa cut
ting of the first crop vies with beet thin
ming In field activity. and good crop Il
being harvested. The second crop OF al
faifa promises to be a record breaker

Fruit Failure.
BY A. II. WOOD.

PAYETTE. Ida, July S-(special.)-I
have noted much on the press from many
sections OF the United States regarding
the great damage sustained through Idaho
from the heavy frosts in the month OF
April. Please allow me to correct much of
this. II is a fact We had heavy freezing
weather for several nights about the mid
die Of the month. and there was a general
howl that every particle Of fruit was
ruined. However. this proved TO be an err
ror and the facts are that southern Idaho
and particularly this Payette Valley dis
trict has an excellent fruit crop. Winter
apples. pears. prunes and apricots are good
and all we could ask; much thinning OF
fruit is necessary to save the trees from
breaking to point Of ruination.
No where in the world is there better
fruit grown than in this valley; no where
better favored fruit and the superiority
of Eze color and flavor is unexcelled by
any other section.
II Is the general rule for an orchard at
10 years of age to produce a car load or
more OF strictly fancy apples to the acre,
car load contains go boxes.
The farmers are now cutting the first
crop Of hay. 1t Is good and will make from
two 10 five tons to the acre. Alfalfa will
be cut three times; also clover and timothy
twice. A field OF alfalfa practically farmed
will make seven to ten tons to the acre 9
year A full grown horse or COW can be
kept In fine shape off the grass from an
acre a year; this you will note is much
more than can be accomplished in any OF
the humid regions in Iowa or Illinois. II
requires from two to four acres to proYide
fodder for a fully matured COW for year
Grain Crops Are Fine.
Our grain crops are fine, and particularly
the dry farming, owing to the unusually
heavy rains in May. which is uncommon
In this arid country. Our wheat usually
produces thirts, 90 seventy bushels to tho
acre; oats forty to 125 to the acre; and
barley, forty to 100. All crops are fine al

land that is to be watered is equal to the
famous fruit land across the river from
ontario on the Payette bench.
w. p. Davidson of st. Paul Is behind
the proposition and the money to complete
the project is assured. This land is part of
the old Malheur and Owyhee government
project. which was surveyed several years
ago, but never carried, out. 1t is adapted
TO apple and fruit culture and is also ideal
alfalfa land For fruit growing IT is the
most promising on account of the splendid
drainage and elevation above the valley
lands. The major portion OF the land is
owned by several large companies, while
individuals own many smaller holdings.
Numerous other pumping plans have been
installed the last season most Of which
are electric, while a few have been oper-
oted by gasoline engines. Tn unlimited
supply Of water in the Snake river. together
with the hundred thousand acres Of tiilable
land near Ontario makes this point the

HENNING AND FUNK DISCUSS DAMAGE SUITS

Mobile, october 16.-John C. Hem ming. man from Chicago, who brought suit against Clarence s. Funk of the International Harvester com pany, alleging alienation of his wifes affections, called at police headquar- ters this afternoon in response to request of Chief Giblin, who had been asked to make an investigation re- garding the man by Inspector Hunt of the Chicago police force.
 Henning admitted that he was the one who had brought the suit, but de- clined to discuss 1t on advice of his at torneys, he said. Asked if he knew of Hunks connection with the Lorimer case, Henning said that Funk was the man who instigated the present ac- ton against Senator Lorimer.
 Henning stated that he and his wife were simply in Mobile on a visit, and the length of their stay was indefinite He positively declined to state his business on his Chicago address, first asking the chief if he was required to answer, and being advised in the negative, said noth- ing. Chief Giblin has telegraphed for a complete description of Mrs. Hennng and says if it does not tally with the woman who accompanies Henning, arrests will follow

"BuffalO Bill"

There was so much rain yesterday afternoon just about the hour when the matinee performance of Buffalo Bills" wild west showSwas announced to take place that the attendance was curtailed and the programme in the arena had to be modified somewhat, to meet the adverse weather conditions. Last night large crowd went out and although the arena was a veritable sea of mud four or five inches deep the principal acts were given in spirited manner and those present felt well repaid for the trouble they had ex- perienced in getting out to the show grounds.
 Everybody sympathized with the hapless performers, particularly those who had to appear on foot and team of acrobats Hopping about in the mud wac sight to wiring tears from the truly sympath thetlc. The horses slipped now and then, but most of the rough riding features were presented and won deserved applause. The performance was spectacular at times, the large arena being kept full of horses and men riders from all parts of the world taking part. There were also some equestriennes whose skill and daring was conspicuous.
 It was a great pity that conditions were so unfavorabe, for the excellent qualities of the Buffalo Bill" show have been uniformly maintained for years and his farewell visit to Bir- mingham would have been a gala event if the rain and the consequent mud had not made Smith park so unin- viting. ~
