the Parent-Teacher Association of
Bellevlew last Friday evening, Profess
sod DeCou of the University of Ore
gon gave an address on Twentieth
Century Canada" The fact that Can

the energetic young nation is doing.

in Canada and he pointed out the de-
velopment of land and of trade which
has already come, while showing
what is yet to be. A series of very
fine stereopticon slides closed the lee
ture. Professor Moore of the high

This is the first time Belleview has
shared in the privileges of the Uni
versity of Oregon extenson courses,

SANAToRiUM NOTES.

The mermbship rally held on the
18th inst. did not come up to our ex-
pectations. A number of the workers
have made no report during the whole
campaign and many of the volunteer
subscriptions of last fall were not
paid. OF course there is a reason for
these things, but reasons are not
money and hence no contract of pur-
chase can be entered without money
and the officers frankly make known
to the public why no purchase is
made
These facts, however only tell one
side of the story. They do not tell
of the numerous fruitless efforts by
some who did not succeed and they
do not tell of those who succeeded
beyond expectations, nor of the en-
couragfng correspondence from per-
sons in other towns in Colorado, nor
of certain encouragement from
source which we are not liberty to
mention at this time. Nor of the de-
termination and plans to succeed not
withstanding the slowness of prog
ress. They only explain why at this
time we shall not be able to contract
for sight for our sanatorium as we
had hoped to do.
We shall not report on all the work
ers who have to date secured some
real money but only mention few
inspiring examples. We had plans for
ten members from each worker and
those who came near or over the
amount were: Mrs. C. w. Buford
nine, Mrs. Charlsey Barness IA mem
bers, besides pay on a subscription of
SO that she made to the association,
making a total of $24.25 turned in by
her, and Madame Perkins Wilson
writes us her personal check for $25
and gives her word that there. is
like amount to follow. And there are
number who have contributed small
er amounts. A word of explanation
is here due all contributors and work
ers at this point. At the close of the
fiscal year of the association, which
occurs in June, we will publish, as
we have promised, every name who
has contributed, even to five cents,
and give you the financial statement of
the treasurer on receipts and dis
bursements. So don't think you or
your friend have been overlooked. We
have followed this custom in the past
and will give you in June an account
of our stewardship
We have many things to hope for
and the outlook for success is more
substantial now than at any time dur
ing the history Of the movement In a
short time the 95 persons who now
constitute the membership will be
called together to hear the plans and
statement from the omcers. Watch
the Star for printed reports and in
formation.

Is always a demand for fruits and veg

enough to own acreage in tidewater
take pride in the fact that they have
easy access to the principal cities and
towns both by rail and waterway in
shipping their produce. Richmond. Pc
tersburg Norfolk, Suffolk. Portsmouth
and City Point form a chain Of cities
which are conveniently reached by peo
pie in the rural districts.
The recent purchase by George A.
Carter OF Washington of 100 acres OF
farm land In King George county is
regarded as a splendid move. Mr.. Car
ter is a successful business man. He
is at present engaged in the lunch
room business. but the indications are
that he may turn his attention to ex-
tensIve farming in the near future.
Mr. Carter paid 5000 cash for his
Virginia farm. He is prominent
