SMALL BOYS RISK
LIVES TO RESCUE
STRANGE AlRDALE

SEATTLE, Wash, July 26.-CU. P)
-Howland Giddings and Harold Har-
chant, twossmall boys, were swimming
near the shore of Lake Union. Nearby
were some treacherous floating logs.
They looked inviting, but the boys de-
cided it would be as much as their
lives were worth to get onto them. So
they stayed away.
But an airedale dog ventured boldly
out on the logs-and went under. The
boys, who wouldn't risk their own lives
on the logs for pleasure, saw the dog
vainly try and try to climb back to
safety.
So Rowland and Harold, rather than
see the dog strange Airedale to
lthem-perish, took a chance on losing
their own lives. rushed to the rescue
Rowland dove under the jam of logs
while Harold spread apart the logs
and managed to pull the unconsclou:
dog out of the water and returned
with him safely. After working with
the dog a half hour, the boys brought
him back to life.

.SCHARPF HOME PARTLY
BURNED LAST EVENING
SCFIARPF

SCHARPF
One of the most spectacular fires in
many months occurred last evening
when the modern residence of L. G.
Scharpf, at the upper end of Bush
street on the north side, became
|ablaze from an unknown cause. All
members of the family were at Leh-
man Springs for the day. The fire
started in the attic and was caused
by short circuit.
Owing to low water pressure the
department. had difficult time bat
t1ing the fire. The department could
get only IL foot stream but succeed
ed in checking the fire down with the
chemical and then took the fight to
the roof where water could be used
without good pressure. The fire was
confined entirely to the upper part OF
the house.
Considerable damage was done by
fire and water but no estimate on the
loss has been made.

STORY IF THE FIRST
 EXPERIMENT. IS TOLD
 BYDR. \. J. CHANDLER
By pr. A. J. Chandler

To know just how a new enterprise was started, particularly when IL afterwards develops into great In- dustry, is always a matter Of interest Sometimes the entire matter IS one or careful design, more often the element of chance enters in very largely IL was so in the introduction of long staple cotton as growing crop lnto Arizona
 As remember it, it was in 1899 when a MT. CoviIle of the U. S. depart ment of forestry was talking to me or an attempt that had been made to grow Egyptian cotton in South Caro- lima without success. "l believe, said MT. CoviIle. -that it would grow here The climate of the Salt River valley ought to be ideal for it.
 He was so enthusiastic over the matter that I told him if he would se- cure me some seed l would plant a patch and try it out. Later he had sent me from the department of agri- culture at Washington enough Egyp- tian cotton seed to plant five acres, which I put in on my ranch northeast of Mesa that spring. 1899.
 As [ remember it had the soil pre- pared and planted the seed, using about the same method that is in vogue here today The rows were about three feet apart and the seed was put in with a corn drill.
 The cotton did all that was expected Ol IL, Stioh5 Sic" e11 producing an abundance of bolls. Everything went beautifully until picking time, then my field began to assume some of the characteristics or a white eIephant-I couNjnt get any body to pick the stuff. l tried white men, Mexicans and Indians. Now, Mexicans grow cotton in Mexico, and the Indians on the Salt and Gila were growing cotton of a primitive kind when the Spanish friarS came into the southwest in the 17th century, but they belonged to- another age and generation than the men 1 got hold of. These fellows would look at the field, examine the cotton bollS. shake their heads and walk away.
 Cotton in the south at that time was probably selling at a good price per pound and Salt River valley Egyptian cotton had yet it's reputation to make. 1 plowed the crop under. As our medical friends say, -The operation was a success. but the patient-that patient at least-died-'
 However. the labor was not lost, the U $. department of agriculture now knew that icDg staple Egyptian cotton could be s>rcw1l in the warm valleys of Arizona, and sae next year or the year afterwards tho federal bureau of plant industry established an experiment station at Yuma and planted small patches of most of the Egyptian varie- ties. It was from one of these yarie- ties. the Nit diff, that in 1903 the variety known as the Yuma was de- yeioped, and at Sacaton, in 1910. the Fima variety was started from a single plant growing in Yuma row.
