Fifty rhousand child cardeners.

AS result of a statewide indus
trial contest in Oregon there are now
$4,000 children busy gardening. It IL
thought that Of the $4,000 school
children of the state at least $4,000
win exhibit at their county fairs or
at the state fair at Salem in the
autumn something they have raised
or made. The superintendent Of
public instruction and public spirited
citizens are responsible for this
wholesale plan Of child farming. Sub
stantial prizes are to be awarded to
those who have been most successful
in raising garden stuff, chickens and
pigs, or In making some useful arti-
Gle. To aid the little ones the agri
cultural college has issued $4,000 bull
letins containing directions for plant
ing and growing seeds. The scheme
is an excellent one, so different from
tho murderous child labor of the fac.
tory. 1t includes plenty Of fresh air,
healthful exercise, pleasant mental
exercise, and blessed contract with
nature, her beauty and life. There
Is here the early lesson of obedience
to the royal law of labor.-Christian

BEAVER FINDS AN ADVOCATE
British Rancher Of Opinion the Little
Animal Is Much Abused; and
Gives Hls Reasons.

There has been a lot of garbled
STUN written in regard to the poor
humble beaver" says correspondent.
He is the most cussed animal OF any
In existence in British Columbia to-
day.
He shuts up water in creeks, over
hows meadows, eats of apple trees II
you get them too close to his wander
ings, and, In fact, to hear the COM
plants about him, you folks on the
outside would think he should be ex-
terminated. But not so; he is mans
best friend In regard to the water
question.
Now. am an admirer Of the beav-
er; he has not a lazy hair on his body.
He works increasingly to shut up what
you have torn out; not only for his
part, but for the rancher that wants
the water. AS fast as you can open
their dams every morning all the sum-
mer through, they will close them
again at night But put in a good
dam and flume box with gate, and your
trouble Is over in great measure.
"They will once in while shut up
the box. but not often. Hang up a
piece OF bright tin on a spring hole so
the tin will swash in the water, and
you will not be bothered much at the
box. Now. II the ranchers left all
these cuts open, which they all do,
your water would all run off in the
winters thaws. So that is where the
hAn - IT, - L n1,.Nea
them up himself And then he gets
blamed for doing It,
"a beaver is awful shy when he
first sees man. He certainly puts out
for hole in the bank. But you show
up evenings for about week or ten
days and Just walk around and pile
few sticks across their path where
they are hauling down cotton wood or
willows to the lake or pond and they
will come and smell of the stick and
get the scent of your hands and your
tracks.
"Thep they will quit that place and
go make another. Well, you do the
same at that place and so on two or
three nights and they will get your
scent so that they know 1t means no
harm to them. They will pull all your
sticks out of the road and keep right
on at work Now their fear of man is
all past; they take no more notice Of
your being around than they would
of horse or COW.
"The beaver is one Of the easiest of
the larger animals to domesticate. He
is fond Of most any kind Of roots, but
Of all the wild roots. he likes the big
pond lily root that grows to enormous
size. Some roots are ten to fifteen
feet long. three to four inches in d.
ameter. They criss cross and grow,
together till they are regular mat.
Then what he likes next is the white
,arrot, also the red. They are poor
'aters out of a dish; they want n sit
ID and brace themselves on that mus
,ular tail and take the food In their |
orepaws. or their little hands. Fur

 Ed Petrosky, the local aspirant for niddleweight honors took a terrible Grubbing today at the hands of Frank Klaus, of Pittsburg. claimant of the championship. Klaus won the de- cision with nearly every round to his credit Petrosky with odds of two to one against him received five punches for every one he landed, but the twentieth round found him still ready to swap blows and he was cheered repeatedly for his gameness.
 Klaus had all the better of the mitigating throughout and belabored Petroskys ribs and hammered his face until it was puffed and bleeding. Petrosky held his own at long range and shook his man with right crosses and uppercuts. but never stopped Klaus who was boring in to clinch-
 Petrosky seemed at a loss when it came to defending himself in clinches. Klaus shook the sailor with a heavy left to the stomach in the first round. Petrosky evened with hard rights to head and stomach Second was also even with a hard exchange of blows. Petrosky brought cheers from hun dreds of sailors in the house when he surprised Klaus by putting three hard lefts to the jaw. he had the Pitts burger leading wildly. Petrosky stag gered Klaus with four hard rights to the jaw and took the round but from then to the final gong was kept on the defensive by Klaus terrific l'ody blows. Petrosky bled freely from the nose and a cut cheek after the eighteenth round while Klaus left the ring only with badly puffed face.
