MAGONISTAS GONE
FROM SAN IGNACIO

The Magonista bands have disap-
peared from the small towns east of Jua-
rex. Lieut. Col. J. n. Medina received a
message Monday from the rurales who
were sent east Saturday night, saying
that they had reached San Ygnacio and
had found no trace OF the Liberal
forces.
Ranchmen from San Ygnacio say
that there were about 40 men in the
Liberal band that was IN that vicinity,
and only a few of them were armed
These were but poorly equipped and,
according to the ranchmen, were In no
way prepared to give battle. 1t is
thought that this is the reason they
have not remained to attack the small
band of rurales sent out from Juarez.

Charles w. Yannke was chosen chief

name corps of assistants at later
date. Arrangements were completed
for the seating of $500 people along
the arena, which is to be Church street
between State and Court streets.
One feature that will make this
show go down in history is the deter
mination of the association to keep all
travelling takers from the street. No
concessions will be granted where the
directors have reason to believe that

nothing. or where for a like consider
alton you are permitted to toss three
balls at a niger baby, or gaze upon

man from BorneO-all these will be
noticeable by their absence.
The directors have planned a sufi-
eient number Of attractions to amuse
the crowd and they will all be required
to give value received for the money
paid by the public.

BIDS ST. JOHNS FAREWELL
The Reverend Chester p. Gates Serves
Full -Four Years There.

~ The Reverend Chester p. Gates, son
of Mrs D. M. Metzger, of this city, and
graduate of Dallas College, who has
been pastor of the United Evangelical
Church at st. Johns. Portland, deliv-
cred his farewell sermon to that
church Sunday evening.
Mr.. Gates is leaving ST. Johns be-
sause of rule of his church which
limits the stay of a pastor to four
years in any one place, and he has
been pastor of the ST. Johns church
for the full time permitted. During
this time he has endeared himself to
his people by his close attention to
duty and to their interests.
Since going to st. Johns he married
Miss Ethel Thayer, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. C. H. Thayer and grand
daughter of Postmaster j. It. Mona
han, of that place. Both will be
missed not only by members of the
Evangelical Church, but by the com
munity at large, as they have been in
connected with much of the
social life of the town.
During the four years of Mr.. Gates
pastorate the church has increased
greatly, both in membership and fin
ancial standing; many Improvements
have been made and new branches of
work started. His future home is as
yet unknown to him, but will be made
public at the conference, to be held
April at the First Evangelical
Church in East Portland.

PRUNING MOST ESSENTIAL
Apple Trees Demand SkilIfuI Shaping
To Get Best Results.

I'm the development of an apple or
chard, pruning is not only most essen
tial to get the best results, but it is
one of the fine arts of horticulture, y
said Professor w. S. Thornber, of the
Washington State College, in an ad-
dress recently.
The best time to prune a young
said. This period I think, applies
generally through Oregon and Wash
ington. 1t is then that the wood be-
gins to harden and has a less succulent
growth. Summed up in a word
would say that if one has a cultivat-
ed orchard and it is well developed,
prune early, but if your orchard is not
properly cultivated, prune later in the
summer.
There are three types of apple trees
common in the Northest. They are
known as the high headed trees, the
low headed trees and the bush trees.
All are more or less extreme type. The.
kind / believe that is the best for prac-
tical purposes is the half-open base
tree. This tree has a center limb as
a leader, so that the tree is not so open
in the center and is not as likely to
be damaged by the winds. By produc-
ing this kind of tree scientific prun-
ing is followed.
The great difficulty with orchards
is that they have never been
pruned properly. The orchardists are
learning more every year in regard to
this important feature of their work,
however, and believe that in the next
few years We will have much better
in both states"
