One of the serious obstacles en- countered by the City Beautiful As sociation in their efforts to clean up and beautify the lawns of the town, Is the fact that people cannot get any one on whom they can depend to now the lawns.

 The boys need the work, your lawn needs cutting. Give them the job be- fore the mayor gets after you. The boys will call on you soon. Give them job.

WILL ASK MORE
 TIME ON FUND CAMPAIGN 10 BE PUSHED CENTRAL COLLEGE BOOSTERS DECIDE THAT $1O,00O CAN
 BE RAISED.

After a lengthy conference last night, those in charge of the cam paign to raise $10,O00 for improve ments at Central College decided that, while the full amount could not De raised in time to report to the joint board of trustees in session at Philadelphia Monday, the sum can be secured within the next 30 days, and the board will be requested to grant this much additional time.
 The campaigners, while somewhat discouraged yesterday, felt after can Vassing the situation last night that much had been done, taking into con- slderat on all the obstacles that stood in the way of raising so large sum at this season. The time is one of the greatest business depression in several years and the many other past and prospective calls for dona- tions made the task of the solicitors an arduous one.
 We now have about S7, 900 sub scribed," said President J. W. Conger this morning, "and there $ almost $2,000 more in sight but not yet sign ed up. This will bring us within a little more than 5000 of the mark, and l feel sure that in 30 days addi- tional time this amount can be se- cured The board will readily grant this extension"
 Dr. Conger said from today on he is going to proceed as if the entire amount was already in hand. The arrangements for financing the in- debtedness of the college will be con cluded, it is thought, in few weeks and in the meantime plans for the construction of the west wing to the main build ng will be drawn and bids on the work obtained from contrac- tors, so that the contract can be let immediately after the money is in sight. By this means the new rooms will be ready for occupancy at the be- ginning of the session next Septem- Der.

DEMAND FOR CARS GREAT.
Northwest Railroads Break Records
In Handling Grain.


Chicago - Results of the bountiful
crop to be moved this year by the rail-
roads are beginning to show them
selves in the statistics of car move
ment. This is brought out strikingly
in the case of the Chicago & North
western railway, which is breaking all
previous records in this respect. The
Northwestern on September 13 moved
on the lines of its system $4,000
freight cars and on the following day
almost duplicated the figures with a
total of 27,034 cars.
This, it is said by the management
of the road, exceeds greatly any record
heretofore established for a single
days business and the performance is
made possible by extensive terminal
improvements which have been in
stalled in the past two years, enabling
a more expeditions movement of cars.
Other roads are also meeting with a
constant increase in the demand for
cars and all indications point to one
of the largest traffic years in the his
tory of the railroads. One reports no
surplus cars whatever at the present
time, while another lays stress on the
fact that the demand for cars west of
the Missouri river is becoming strong
and grain shipments have increased
percepitbly in the last week, bringing
business as a whole above last year
by a considerable margin.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
FRUIT RANCH $1,000 AN ACRE

Roselawn Farm at White Bluffs Sold
To Portland Man.
White Bluffs-The Roselawn ranch
at White Bluffs, owned by A. E. Bur-
din, was sold to H. w. Lemcke, of
Portland, at $1,000 per acre, cash.
There are 27a acres in the ranch and
practically all of it is.set to fruit,
principally apples. Mr.. Burdin on
returning from the Klondike six years
ago, bought the land at $50 per acre.
1t was then in sagebrush, and he i'm
proved the place, installed his own
irrigation system and is this year
marketing his first heavy commercial
crop of apples. The price paid for
the ranch is the highest ever paid in
the White Bluffs country.
Mrs. Burdin, wife of the owner of
the Roselawn ranch, is the patentee
of kitchen utensil and she and her
husband will move to New York city
to attend to the placing of the article
on the market. They made small
fortune in the gold fields of the Klon-
dixie, but state that the valleys of the
White Bluffs country have netted them
an easier-earned amount than the
North country.

WHITE ESKIMO cREDITABLE.
Scientists Believe Explorer Stefanson
Will Prove Claims.

Scientists Believe Explorer Stefanson
Will Prove Claims.
Washington, D. C.-The lost tribe
of Europeans, the white Eskimos,
whom Vilhjalmor Stefanson found in
the Arctic Circle, are old friends of
the scientists Of the National museum.
DR.. Walter Hough, of the ethnolog-
ical department of the museum, one
of the greatest authorities on Ameri-
can aborigines, said he believed the
explorer would be able to substantiate
his statements.
"There are three important features
of Stefanson's announcement, said
DR.. Hough. "He speaks of finding
many Eskimos with blue eyes, reddish
hair and light compilations. If these
white Eskimos are descendants of the
lost colonists of Greenland, it is in
teresting to know that this type of
white man has retained scandinavian
characteristics so long. The second
important phase is that Stefanson
found the facial index was the same
as that of Eskimo Scandinavian half
bloods of Greenland, and not typically
Eskimo"
The third important thing is the
fact that Stefanson has found a tribe
that had practically no contact with
civilization fer centuries.

REBELLION is FAILING.
Superior Mobility of insurgents, How
ever, May Prolong War.

evSTs way GTObVu6 wal
Washington, d. c. - Further evil
dence of the weakening of the Orozco
rebellion is conveyed to the State and
War departments in the latest reports
from army officers and consuls of the
movements of the various rebel lead
ers operating in Northern Ne zico.
These movements are SO irresolute
as to satisfy the officials that no
longer are the various generals acting
under common leadership.
Officials here say reports show that
nowhere do the rebels feel disposed to
meet the government forces in action
except where they can attack some
small town or mining camp garrisoned
by force much smaller than their
own. It is expected this sort of war
fare may be kept up several weeks or
even months, in view of the superior
of the we'll mounted rebels
who are living on the country and are
free from heavy equipment or artil-
lery.
Colonel Pasqual Orozco, ST., and
other rebel officers captured by Cap
tain Mitchell, of Presidio, Texas, have
been turned over to the United States
civil authorities at Maria.
The mining plant at Ell Tigre, which
was captured recently by the rebels
and retaken by the federals a few
hours later, has begun to operate
again.
Robbing and looting are still preva-
lent in the neighborhood of Madgalene.
