One of the most striking evidences
that the government is really attempt
ing to exercise it's rights for the pro-
lection OF the people at large, is the
fact that Secretary McAdoo of the
Treasury Department has notified the
banks in the Southern and Western
parts of the country, that he was ready
to deposit with them $50, 600, 600 for
the express purpose of moving the
crops. eIetofore, crop moving time
has always been a serious one with
country bankers, for the farmer was
larger borrower and could not repay
until crops we're sold. This made it
a time of stress to the entire country.
By the method proposed this stress
will be obviated. The secretary has
taken ample precautions for the re-
turn of all the money advanced. The
money will be placed in National
banks in such sections as is believed
necessary.

necessary.

The people who fought so long and
hard for the installation of the parcels
post system should be on their guard
right now. AS SOON as Postmaster
Burleson issued his order announcing
the improvement of the service by in
creasing the weight of parcels and re-
ducing the charge in the first zone, a
howl went up from the express inter
ests in congress. A hard effort is to
be made to prevent this and other
changes for the lettering of the SER
vice. Just drop your congressman a
line and tell him you are watching
him and that you want him to let the
parcels post law alone.

We are in receipt of the prospectus
of the Lincoln Highway Association.
The object of the Association is to
build a hard surfaced road from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. The
Association is backed principally by
the large automobile manufacturers
of the Nation. They propose to raise
ten million dollars by popular sub
scription, of which more than three
million dollars has already been
pledged. The plan does not contem-
plate making new roads to any extent,
but to improve roads already built
and hard surface them where this is
not done. This will give wonderful
impetus to the outdoor travelling pub
lie. The association believes that in
a few years thousands of automobiles
will make the trip from ocean to
ocean, which is no doubt true If a
good road was assured the entire
distance.

Dunes Semi Annual Trade Review
issued recently. is very optimistic re-
garding crop and financial conditions

business. Lumber shipments show a
large increase. They report also an
increased acreage of grain and hop

The Portland Union Stock Yards
Report for August 1st shows slack
to warm weather, prices also declined
some what. The top price of steers
was So. 25; the hog market was 1910,
a drop of 10 cents. The report calls
attention to the great need of dehorn7
ing cattle and it states that in many
instances shippers receive from % to
40 per cent under market on account
of bruises and damages done by
horned cattle while being shipped.

Since the last issue of The Ranch
harvest has proceeded in the Pacific
Northwest without interruption. No
rain has fallen and farmers are now
in the midst of the grain harvest
which is proving to be an unusually
heavy crop. The late crop of hay was
saved entirely and was put into the
barns in fine condition. A better
harvest season was never known. The
pastures are beginning to show the
need of rain, but rain is not probable
for another month.

Montan has a satisfactory dairy
law now and 1T will be the means Of
encouraging the farmers to supply
more milk and cream. Many new

Song Recital Is
Most Pleasing
ALFRED ROBERTSON BARRING.
TON DELIGHTS LARGE AU-
DIENCE AT FLEMING
HOME.

Alfred Rogerson Darlington, bari
tone, was heard in recital of song
yesterday afternoon at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. w. Fleming, on
First street. The event was arrang'
ed under the direction Of the Y. NJ
c. A. and the Fleming home, so well
adapted to entertaining large crowds
| was graciously rendered for the
event. About sixty invited guests
heard the singer.
Too much cannot be said in praise
OF the delightful rendition of the
program. yet among those who were
so fortunate as to be among his au-
dience, words seemed entirely made
Quate to the occasion.
Beginning with three simple bal
lads, from Cowen and Vourhis, Mr..
Darlington captured his audience by
the exquisite rendition, which i'm
preston dcepened as the varied
numbers we're given.
The program was indeed a most
comprehensive one. embracing songs
requiring the greatest delicacy Of
movement, as THE Lilly" and the
Rose Song" and during the rendi-
tion OF these songs one was led to
believe that in lightness and sweet
ness lay Mr.. Barrington's greatest
ability, but when he sang the in
tenscly dramatic Song of the Shirt
by Homer, one was even more deep
~ impressed with the dramatic abil-
ity of which he is a. master. Fair
mont people have heard the Song Of
the Shirt" sung by famous singers
both at home and abroad, but II
seems safe TO predict that from now
en- the Song of the Shirt" will be
associated with Mr.. harrington.
With the same case with which he
glided from light to dramatic effects
did the singer CondGsccnd to sing
several foolish" ballads as SIater's
Tragic Tale" and "A Frivolous
Song"
When the program ended, in a re-
Spouse TO persistent applause, Mr..
harrington rendered Obey Speaks
ION the Road to Mandelay," when
one need but add that the composer
of the piece himself has said that
never had he heard the selection ren.
dercd as by Mir. harrington.
1t was a delighted audience that
| card the program yesterday and 1t
is very probable that in the near fu-
turc he will return here to be heard
in public recital. Adding much to
the recital was the sympathetic
piano accompaniment of Miss Amy
Rogers Rice.
MIR. Darlington Is the father o!
Walter D. Darlington, of this city,
who ranks among the first ranks IN
Fairmont's singers He Is at prcsen
director Of music at the First n. 4
