MIRACLES OF FUTURE

Scientific Farming Will Utilize Every
Foot of Land and Prices
Will Soar.

Water by the million horsepower
goes to waste annually along our
mountain Sides But some day it will
generate electricity to light our
homes. Later when the fuel supply
will run low, that same electricity will
also be employed to heat our homes
in the Winter and our fields in the
Summer" writes John b. Horner, pro-
fessor of history and political science
in the Agricultural College at Corval-
lis. II fancy that wires or some other
device can be placed under the surface
to carry sufficient heat through the
soil to arouse its fecundity and warm
and stimulate the tendrils of the grow
ing plant. Indeed, the stimulation of
growing plants with electricity has
passed the experimental stage. Fur
thermore, I am not certain but that

fetal heat and other stimulus would
make it possible to produce two crops
of grain each year. Already three crops
of alfalfa are produced in certain To-
calities. Science is BILE to supply the
necessary heat when the demand
arises.
Valley of the Future
Under this system the process of
intensfication can go until the great
domains will be divided into small
holdings and other changes will take
place which will more than double the
agricultural products A field of five
acres will be worth many times five
acres under the present system; hence
ultimately every foot of fertile land
will be so valuable that it will be util-

districts, fine schoolhouses, churches

lectures and great libraries will be in
evidence everywhere, and as a result

RediscOvery of Oregon.
Oregon has already been discover
ed twice-once by venturous explorers
who found the new country and called
it the Great Oregon: then it was dis
covered by the haroy pioneers who
learned by long experimentation what
Oregon could produce. Thereupon it
was called the Greater Oregon" This
implies that Oregon is to be discovered
anew, that it is to be discovered the
third time, when it will be scientific
ally dem monstrated how her soils may
be made to produce the choicest
among the best of things and these in
the largest possible quantities. This,
in my opinion, will be done by intelli
gent farmers, fruitgrowers and other
sons of the soil in systematic co-opera-
ton with the advanced scientist in his
Together they will unfold
the mysteries of the soil. They will
discover Oregon the third time. Their
mission is obvious and it will be full

ing notice, and for which we are
duly grateful:
"The Kentucky Irish American
has reached the twelfth milestone of
its publication career. 1t is ably
edited, a credit to Irish Catholic
journalism and worthy of the support
and encouragement of the Catholic
people of Kentucky. Judging by the
advertising columns of the paper, the
merchants of Louisville appreciate
its worth. The publishers are to be
congratulated for the success OBJ

that the reciprocity treaty may be
abrogated in case 1t proves unsatis-

housekeeper and point out that
six cents a pound will come off
butter, five cents a dozen off eggs,
twenty-five cents a Darrell off pota-

twenty-five cents a bushel off apples,
26 per cent. off the value of to-

twenty-five cents bushel off

If these reductions come to pass
there will be less kicking about the
high cost of living.

LEGATE SHOWN RESPECT.

While the present Spanish Govern
ment is supposed to be at war with
the Vatican and the kingdom is
asserted to be on the point OF
breaking off all relations with the
church, the recent international
Eucharistic Congress showed that the
church and her ministers are held in
high esteem by the bulk of the peo-
pie. When Cardinal Aguirre arrived
at Madrid as special legate from the
Pope to preside at the congress, he
was received by members Of the
Spanish Cabinet and was escorted to
the Kings carriage by the Minister
OF War.
After a visit to the Cathedral the
Papal Legate was escorted by the
Kings bodyguard to the royal palace,
where he was entertained by King
Alfonso. He was the guest OF the
royal family during his stay in
Madrid. The congress was held IN
the Church OF San Francisco ell
Grande, where Cardinal Aguirre was
welcomed by Prince Carlos, who
acted for his brother-in-law, the
King.
At the close OF the first meeting
Premier canelejas and the entire
Cabinet waited upon the Legate at
the royal palace. All this has created
sensation at Rome and goes far
towards bringing a greater amount
of conciliatory spirit into the differ
ences which for the last year have
Gsed so much bitterness between
Erch and State.

AWFUL SLAM.

The Denver Catholic Register
takes a whack at William Jennings
Bryan, the one-time idol of some
Democrats. 1t says:
''The Nebraska Democrats have
gone back on Bryan; he is traitor,
they say, apropos of his opposition
to Gov. Harmon's nomination for
the Presidency. Et tn, Brute, in

been traitorous to the cause he holds
which is Bryan; nor to
America, for he has given us

ONE WISE JUDGE.

In the trial of chauffeur for
running over a man in Philadelphia
a few days ago the Judge thus laid
down the law:
1.-THE duty of a chauffeur is to
stop or so to reduce the speed of his
machine that he may have it undeT
instant control at the intersections
of streets, and failure to do so is
evidence that must be submitted to
a jury as malice against the COM
munity; 1t is evidence upon which
to determine whether the driver is
guilty of murder in the first or
second degree, or in an aggravated
case, murder Of the first degree"
People should remember that a
pedestrian has the right of way at
street intersections. The toot Of an
auto horn does not deprive him of
that right. When man is walking
along the street leisurely paying no
attention to the auto norm, ana is
run over, the chauffeur is guilty Of
murder or manslaughter. So the
court decided. People ought to
understand the law. In Louisville
there is an ordinance compelling
drivers OF vehicles and autos as
we'll as electric cars to slow up at
street intersections, but the law is
seldom obeyed because rarely
enforced.

OVERSIGHT OR IGNORANCE.

The charitably inclined people OF
Louisville were beth surprised and
shocked this week when they read
the list of local charities Endorsed by
the Charities Endorsement Committee
of the Board of Trade and Com
mercial Club as worthy of support.
Twenty-Five charities are mentioned,
only one of which is Catholic, st.
Anthony's Hospital 1t is possible
that the gentlemen have never heard
of the Little Sisters of the Poor, the
Sisters of the Good Shepherd, St.
vincent's Orphan Asylum, SITS.
Mary and Elizabeth Hospital, st.
Joseph's Orphan Asylum, st. Law
renee Institute or the st. Vincent de
Paul Society, which alone are doing
the bulk of the real charitable work
of the city. Chairman II. II. Cole,
DIR. Henry Tuley, Bernard Selligman,
Charles w. Allen, Fred W. Keisker
and Charles F. Huhlein are the
members of the committee. They are
all good men, and therefore the
Kentucky Irish American would at
tribute their failure to recognize the
above and many similar charitable
institutions to either oversight or
ignorance, and sincerely hopes it is
the former. When this committee
again meets the Board of Trade or
Commercial Club should provide it
with a City Directory.

DEATHS CALL
by Capt. Andrew
krakel a Veteran
Policeman.

Few men in Louisville were more
respected than Capt. Andrew Krakel,
who died at his home, 2217 West
Broadway, on Wednesday afternoon.
Capt. Krakel was a native of Louis
vile and was sixty-six years old. He
served in the Federal army through
out the civil war, and upon return
ing home was made a policeman.
Always attending to his duties, he
soon won the attention of his
superiors and moved up step by step
until he was made a Captain. His
whole service in the police depart
ment covered a period of forty-one
years In all that time he was never
reprimanded by a superior. Kindly
and courteous at all times, Capt.
Krakel had the love and esteem of all
with whom he came in contact. He
resigned from the police force on
July 16, 1907. As a reward for
faithful service he was given PEN
sion at half a Captains pay.
Capt. Krakel is survived by four
A. J. Krakel, Miss Edna
Krakel, Miss Florence Krakel and
Mrs. H. l.. Glass. The funeral will
take place this morning from st.
