DONNA'S PROSPECTS
FOR FIRST BALE
Cotton Already in Blossom There in
Judge Hoyt's Field and He Feels
Confident Of Winning.

Not satisfied with putting ont the
first express shipments and the first
the Valley this year, Donna has
thrown her hat in the ring for the
honor of raising the first bale of cot
ton in the United States.
Judge Louis 7. Hoyt, who has 145
acres of the fleecy stapel growing,
says that he is satisfied that there
is no earlier cotton in the Valley
this year than his and as his fields
are looking fine, the chances for his
getting the first bale would seem 10
be good
Last year the honor fell to San
Benito and the first bale was rushed
from the gin to a special train whic'
carried it to Houston where il was
sold on the floor of the stock ex-
change for a big sum. But a resident
of San Benito who saw the cotton
blossoms from Judge Hoyt's field
which were worn last Sunday by the
excursionists TO Brownsville and
Matamoros, acknowledged that his
cotton was way ahead of any at San
Benito this year.
Judge Hoyt also has a number OF
acres of long staple cotton which is
knee high and promises an exception
ally good yield.

ALASKA'S BURIED WEALTH.

Mr.. Darlington Weems gives in
the February Worlds Work some
sane facts about the coal situation in
Alaska-his Information based on
recent visit Concerning the actual
amount of coal in the region he
says:
Only one-fifth of Alaska has ever
been surveyed geologically How
much coal the rest may contain no
man can guess. From many scatter
ed points within this area prospec-
tors have reported coal discoveries.
Upon well-established data, the head
of the geological survey in Alaska
states that the minimum of coal re-
sources should be placed at $50 mil
lion tons, although the actual tom
mage Is likely to be many times that
amount. There is good reason to be-
lieve that the coal deposits of the
Arctic slope are more extensive than
all the other fields combined, cover
ing roughly 5000 square miles. Or
course the large part of this coal
which is not easily accessible from
the Pacific coast is practically nom
existent as far as export trade is con-
cerned in the near future.

GERMAN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL,

The teachers undertake to measure
the mental capacities of the boy. If
he is generally a dull pupil, he will
be indexed as being better adapted
to trade not far removed from un-
skilled labor. The bright pupil, es-
pecially If he should show manual
delicacy in the systematic tests to
which he is subjected toward the end
of his school period, would have q
choice of some fine handcraft, such
as that OF instrument en-
craving or jewel-setting.
Painstaking effort is made to de-
termine the boys inclnations, so
that the great misfortune may not
happen to him of being deprived of
the joy of work, of the satisfaction
in the thing done. Within the view
of the Prussian school administration
and this is equally true of Bavaria
and most of the other German states
the skilled worker ought to find in
his calling one Of the great satisfac-
tions of life-a certain artistic pride,
the disposition to do his work not
alone as he has been taught, but to
add to 1t something of his own indi-
viduality, because he loves the work
and puts something of his spiritual
self into it. No boy is compelled or
unduly forced into the choice of a
calling. He is handled temperament
ally and sympathetically The en-
deavor is made to stir the boys am
bition. Masters and parents confer.
The parents working at common labor
almost always want their children
to do better in life than they have
done. They readily cooperate in
getting the conviction fixed in the
boys mind that he ought not to be
an unskilled workman, that when he
finishes his school work he ought
not to be content to be among those
at the bottom Of society doing the
carse labor of the ditch, but that he
ought to choose a trade and fit him
self for one of the higher levels where
intelligence counts for something and

dc not call for opposition. to the West
Extension and such opposition that
appears from that source is due to
the fact some settlers have been mis-
led and induced to pull chestnuts out
of the fire for men who will turn and
fight them should the government
abandon the extension.
If the government abandons the
West Extension the water will go to
DR.. Coe under the Andrew c. Smith
filing and to others down the stream
who have filings ahead of upper river
men. DR.. Coe would have people be-
lieve his filing is of no value and that
he will transfer it. But he has not
given it away to anyone nor has he
relinquished it. This paper surmises
that should the West Extension be
abandoned that filing would become
of much value and would be kept
alive. DR.. Coe can tell his story to
little children and to fishes.
Let the government do the work.

MEANS WHAT 1T SAYS.

PRESIDENT Taft and the medical poll
itic'ans are to be speedily undeceived
If they think to placate the national
league for medical freedom by MAX
ing concessions to some one or more
OF the stronger schools Of Irregular
practitioners, while other systems or
even individuals are subject to pun
ishment for healing the sick.
In modifying his order covering the
canal zone-the executive order which
in effect barred from practice in that
territory all except alopathic doctors
the president has now merely en-
larged the monopoly to take in Chris
tian Scientists and others whose
practice is a part of their religious
faith. This Is not satisfactory to the
league, whose secretary, Paul A.
Harsch, Is out in a statement as fol-
lows:
1--WE desire to call attention to the
fact that this order (the modifying
order) does not recognize the prin-
ciple of medical freedom as advocat-
ed by the league, for 1t still debars
from practice in the canal zone,

representatives Of all schools of heal
ing other than the so-called regular
or allopath'c and those whose prac-
tice is a part of their religious tenets.

DESPOTISM DOOMED.

Whichever way the dice fall in Chi
na-whether toward the insecure
Manchu dynasty or the provisional
republic of which DR.. sun Yat Sen
Is president-despotism is, doomed
and civilization and popular govern
ment assured fair start in the an
cient empire.
The revolutlonaries have given the
old regime, self-convcted of incom-
petence and corruption, its death
blow. Their propaganda has appeal
ed to what was once thought the
slsggish Chinese imagination in a
manner truly marvellous. More than
800 troops are in the field in the
cause of republicanism. Throughout
the eighteen provinces there is such
a tidal wave of revolt against the
abuses of the old order that the dan
gers of their perpetrators creeping
back into power are practically neg
ligible.
Even should the cause of the revo-
lutionaries fail in itself reform is as
sured in the fact that Yuan Shi Kai
has been chosen as head of the i'm
perial Manchu government. He is
at heart reformer and has prob
ably inaugurated more advance move
ments than any other one Chinaman
in the empire. Coming straight from
tbe people, as he does, he Is in close
touch with their thought and needs.
1t was realization of his peculiar fit
ness that led the Manchus to recall
him from Punishment in a final at
tempt to save the dynasty from alb
solute disintegration. Late reports
have it that he Is in command Of
money to put down the revolt.
Whether sheer rumor or founded on
truth, his entire past record aligns
stantial aims of those seeking to es-
tablish a government truly popuiar.
