Settlers are needed, and for those who
come now there awaits some OF the choicest
farm lands in the west, and at figure
that even the man with moderate means
can get a desirable farm of his own. The
settlement OF the numerous acres Is
heartily encouraged because the fertile soil
and the great natural advantages are OF
little value or service unless we have peo-
pie to cultivate and develop them. There
is no section OF the world that cannot
boast of something. The sunny San Luis
valley excels in so many things that II Is
difficult for the unacquslnted to under
stand that we have such an enviable place
in which to live, enjoy health and procure
wealth.
Hemmed by Mountains.
"A great inland empire hemmed in on

Of the sweltering summer, never enter this
land Of opportunity. With perpetual sun

by irrigation crops are grown and har-
vested under a clear sky with no loss from
storms or floods, and harvested in the best
condition possible, thus obeaining SUI
perior quality which always commands the
highest price on the markets. Water at
the right time, and just the right amount,
with proper agricultural methods, will
never fail to produce a larger yield and
finer quality of products than can possibly
be raised on the best lands under the sun
where rainfall is depended upon for mois-
ture.
Irritation il the Answer.
TT is possible to harvest and cure hay
for grain crops and at the same time ir-
rigate potatoes, sugar beets or other crops
needing moisture BY irrigatng the farmer
controls the supply of moisture just as
completely as he controls the filth OF the
soil. The farmer does not have to pray
for rain when the crop is burning up, and
one does not have to pray for it to stop
raining when the crop is being drowned
out.
Farming by the improved method II ir-
rigation is farming in the most scientific
manner Irrigation is the foundation Of
truly scientific agriculture. The farmer
who grows his crops in a fertile soil un-
der cloudless skies with a system con-
trolling the moisture as effective at this,
may be said to have mastered the forces
of nature.
When moisture is needed just open the

the fields When the ground Is sufficiently
soaked shut of the water. II is easy TO
do. The element Of chance as regards
moisture Is thus entirely removed. This Is
what makes irrigation farming so scien-
ufic, and so certain OF big profits.
In addition irrigation constantly en-
riches the coil while rain teaches out and
washes away the elements Of fertility"

Small Reductions in Valuations.

the $685.. 100000 total placed en- local
property by the tax commission to
s545, 100000, which latter amount he
declared represented true cash values,

pays 204 per cent of the state tax.
The tax commission proposed to make
the city pay PA per cent. while the

an increase of $4.762.000. or SO per

The value Of products represents
their selling value or price at the
plants as actually turned out by the

does not necessarily have any rela-
ton to the amount OF sales for that
year The values under this head
also include the amount received for
work done on materials furnished by
others.
According to figures of the last Uni

blonde hair was perfectly straight, but
becomingly arranged, and she started
off in high feather.
But on her return she was rather
silent. and, on being questioned as to
her experience, said:
II had a nice time. but IL would
have been nicer If my hair was kinky.
All the other girls hair was kinky.
and l shant go to another party I'M

So the next week. when another In

hair was curled and huffed out in the
most approved style.

THE HOME COMING
!. . !: Of CONGRESSMAN
THE SESSION CLOSES WITHOUT
EXCITEMENT AND THERE
Is POLITICAL UNREST.
MICHIGAN MEMBERS HAVE HAD
A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE.
The Presidents Tour, Redistricting
!, and Other Matters of Note
and Gossip.

Unmarked by the rush that charac-
/ teriZes the close OF the ordinary ses-
sion, congress ended the extraordin-
airy session at 3 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, and what is described by
Michigan's Republican veterans as
the most unique chapter in all their
Washington experience, was COM
pleted
. Called by President Taft fer the ex.
press purpose of enacting reciprocity
with Canada. his own party in con-
gress opposed him and left il to the
Democrats TO pull the presidents pet
measure through. Incidentally the
statehood bill admitting Arizona and
New Mexico to the union. the pub
licity of campaign expenditure meas
ure and the reapportionment bill were
passed. signed and are new law. And
also the attempt OF the Democrats to
extend the tariff legislation from re-
cipTocity with Canada to general re-
vision OF all schedules. passed both
houses and died under presidential
veto.
: These endeavors spun out the ses-
sion months longer than anyone ex-
pected. From April to- Aug. 22 con-
stitutes one of the longest special
sessions ever held. But now that the
end has come, in the estimation of
Michigan's members. the question re-
verts to the original matter What
will be the effect OF the Canadian re-
ciprocity victory on the elections In
November, 1912? Reps. Young and
Loud voted for the measure. So did

Senator Smith and Reps. Wedemeyer.

McMorran. Fordney, Mclaughlin and
Dodds. The two Democrats. Doremus
and Sweet voted for the measure.
On their departure for Michigan the
Republicans are considerably con
cerned over the opinion credited to
Gov Osborn that should a special ses-
sion be called TO redistrict the state
under the reapportionment bill in
creasing the Wolverine representation
from II TO 10. the legislature will be
called next January This, declare
the congressman, will work a great
hardship on them. They would rather
see the session called in October. for
instance, so that they may have an
opportunity 10 be present.
With congress- adjourning the presi-
dents trip. is assured and 1t is looked
upon as the real beginning OF the
campaign leading up to the next
presidential election. Michigan cities,
it is said, will form a pretty goodly
list on the itinerary. This. it is re-
garded, is on account OF the strong
opposition in many parts of the state
to Canadian reciprocity IT is nota-
bic that the trip will take the presi-
dent especially into those regions
where he had met opposition either
at the hands. of insurgents or at the
hands OF regulars unable to follow the
executive in reciprocity.
