A few years after the war he left the navy, owing to poor health and as he aptly states, has been drifting with the tide on dry land ever since. The death of Admiral Schley, of which he learned after his arrival in Prescott. brought forth the highest commendation of this valiant sea fighter in that particular engagement. MT. Kendy stating that every man on the cruiser idOlized their fearless commander and the strong affection endured when he left the service later. Not alone on the Brooklyn was this feeling expressed, but on other warships as well, and among the men behind the guns especially.

SANTA FE ROAD ADOPTS NOVEL
 POLICY
(From Fridays Daily)

William J. Black, passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe railroad is responsible for the adoption of a new policy by that railroad which will materially further the interests of those owning farming or ranch land anywhere along the lines of the sys- tenn. The new policy consists of em- plOying high salaried experts to as- sist the farmers farm, and, taken in connection with the numerous other methods employed by the railroad to benefit tillers of the soil along the lines, will, in time, make farm ing land on the Santa Fe the most valuable in the country.
 Mir. Black has one chief hobby and that is farms and farming. He is continually on the lookout for ways and means whereby he can assist the latter on the theory that the mother lode of prosperity is in the soil, and his latest move, originated but a few weeks ago, has already begun to show results The statistics of the department of agriculture show that farming land increases in value at the rate of $5 per ace when it is placed on or near a railroad. This is the average increase the country over and this average is kept up to a great extent, by such action on the part of the railroads as spoken Of
 NIT. Blacks new method of assist ing the farmers to farm is simplicity itself. The new officials of the com pany, bearing the title of demon stratOrs of agriculture, visit the diff ferent farming sections on the Santa Fe, making suggestions for and giving instruction in intensive cultivation of the soil. At certain places along the line plots of ground are being put under cultivation. the company furnishing the seed while the farm CTS, under the direction of the new officers, plant and cultivate 1t ac- eording to the most advanced ideas of scientific soil culture
 The new experts do not eonfine themselves entirely to land imme- diately on the Santa Fe but travel by automobile inland away from the road. and work with all those who de- pend on the Santa Fe for means of transporting their produce to market. The idea has been accepted with favor all along the line and so anxi- ous are the farmers to receive assist snee that the experts have been com pelled to make regular appointments in the different districts in order to properly attend to the demands made on them.

IRISH POTATOES
 GROW WILD IN CoCoNINo
tFrom Fridays DaHyl

CocOnino county is certainly one
 of the greatest sections of the great
 southwest. Its resources are so var
 fed that it would take space and
 time to enumerate all of them that
 are known, and vet it seems that the
 country is only in its infancy. Every
 week something new dawns upon us and the future of this section seems decidedly bright. Agriculture is com
 ing into prominence and many of the ranehmen are very enthusiastic over the possibilities of this rich section. Fruits and vegetables, corn, etc, are becoming staples. And vet we are in the formative period. This week NJ. l.. Clancey came to The Sun office with a new variety of potatoes. They are what he terms "wild Irish spud. He found them near his ranch, which is some seven miles from Flagstaff. located on the west side of DOney mountain. The wild potato is something new indeed. They grow on vines similar to those of the eul- tivated variety. and resemble them in every particular except that they are very small. The wild potato is found in patches for some two miles from Mr. Clancey'S ranch. and are quite curiosity. They are of two varieties, the fine white and red or pink. The fact that they grow wild is one of the finest indications that this is a natural potato country. The potatoes are fine in quality and show that the natural conditions exist for one of the greatest potato sections in the world. This wild variety are found where they get only the rains and prove that dry farming can be carried on most successfully in north | ern Arizona. Some specimens of the 1 wild potato are on exhibition in The Sun office and at Rabbits grocery. i -CocOnino Sun.

MCOm1e and Frazer Are Sel- ected By the Chamber Of Commerce to Attend The Dry Farm Congress.
OFrom Fridays DaiiI.l

Prof. A. Montieth MeOme, of the University of Arizona, and NJ. A. Fraser of the Chamber of Commerce, were appointed by that body at its largely attended meeting last night, in the newly renovated offices in the Bank of Arizona building, to repre- sent it at the sixth international dry farm congress to be held at Colorado Springs next week. Fraser will start Monday night, in order to be in Colorado Springs to install the very large and complete line of dry farm ing samples which have been collect ed and shipped.
 A large map of the southwest on which Prescott and Yavapai county have been boldly featured has been framed and will form a part of the exhibit. The Santa Fe has allowed the use of lot of its finest photo graphs, besides which some of Erwin Baer's enlargements will be taken. Yavapai's mineral resources will not be overlooked. Messrs. Fredericks and Hazeltine will probably allow the exhibition of their valuable col leetions of nuggets and bars; the ores of the United Verde will have a prominent place, as will also some very fine samples kindly furnished by R. H. Hetherington. H. Wm. Stevens and others.
 s. s. Reed, a dry farmer in Will liamson valley. yesterday sent the chamber dozen ears of Yellow Dent corn which will go far toward taking one of the prizes offered. When some of the other dry farmers who were in the city yesterday saw this corn they were induced to make sim liar exhibits so that the corn show ing is to be very strong one.
 National Executive Committeeman R. \. Fredericks will make an ad- dress before the congress at Colorado Springs on the subject of the status and possibilities of dry farming in this state. In the course of his paper he will bring out the many industries in Arizona which offer inducements

for investment to the settler.
 Prof. MeOmie delivered an inter esting account of the progress being made at the experimental farm, which is under his supervision. Twenty acres of land have been plOwed and subsoiled. The rain is being eonserv- ed very successfully and the profes- sor believes that a crop can be grown next year which, it is hoped, will prove to the members of the legisla- ture the advisability of continuing the farm by means of state money.
 MT. F'rederieks said that in a few days Prescott will know when to ex- pect Secretary of War Stimson and Chief of Staff General Leonard Wood. Entertainment to fit the length of their visit will be given these distinguished guests. LeRoy Anderson reported progress in the matter of rehabilitating Company E, \. G. A., and asked that committee of five be appointed to assist in this very necessary work.
 Mir Heap said that surveys were being made in order to select a cen trallv located site for the Yavapai County fair. He also intimated that satisfactory progress was being made in regard to running the trolleys and that they would be running. he thought. shortly.
 The Bank of Arizona has expended considerable money in laying a stone floor and eularging the premises of the Chamber of Commerce. The of flee has much more space and a private office has been given to the secretary After his return from Colorado Springs, he proposes to fit the offices up thoroughly and Pres cott will have the eOziest chamber of commerce in Arizona. No members need remain away from the regular Thursday meetings in the future be- cause of lack of proper comfort and accommodation.
 After reports of several committees were read and routine business trans acted, the meeting was adjourned.

 ANOTHER IN BENSON

BISBEE. ArIz., Oct. 5.-Passengers

When Postmaster General
Hitchcock proposed that the
postal rates on the advertising
pages Of magazines be raised in
order to help defray the postal
deficit, the magazines declared
that the rates on newspapers
should be raised also. Among
their reason for this raise in the
rates on newspapers was they
protect their subscribers from
fraudulent advertisements, while
the latter do not.
The following is the first ac-
count we have seen Of steps
being taken to refute this
charge by demanding legis-
latlon prohibiting false and mis-
leading advertisements.
This would be a good measure
to introduce in the Idaho legisla-
ture-and it probably viii be
this session. If this law were en-
acted it would mean much to the
honest advertiser, as it is, may
appear as a fraud simply because
he is advertised in the same pa
per in which real frauds are adj
vertised:

The people OF the whole north
west seem to be of but one opin-
ion as to where the great expo
sition should be held on the COM
pletion Of the Panama canal.
San Francisco is the unanimous
choice, and senators and repre-
sentatives in congress from the
northwestern group OF states
are so advised. New Orleans
claims to the exposition are bas-
ed wholly on larger surround
ing population and closer prox-
unity to the great eastern cen
tiers. That claim is not sound,
for jamestown and Norfolk had
still a greater population to
draw upon, yet the jamestown
Exposition was the most COM
plete failure ever known. San
Francisco has already raised mil
lions, and her people are earnest
at work for the Exposition. Both
for selfish and sentimental rea-
sons, the whole west should back
her claims.-Weiser American.

The Army in Boise is doing

out for the poor OF that city.
Each Christmas many childish
hearts were made glad by the
presents given them by the

There is an old saying that the
way to a mans hearts, through
his stomach. The Salvation
Army believes that the way to
his soul is through his stomach,
also. They first save the body;
