DRY-FARMING CONGRESS Premium of $2500 for Bushel of Wheat (Correspondence of The Gazette) Lethbridge, Alberta, Feb. 15.—A monster traction engine has been donated as a sweepstake prize for one bushel of hard wheat to the International Exposition of Dry-Farmed Products, machinery, farm sanitation and labor-saving devices, to be held at Lethbridge, Alberta, October 21-26 next, in conjunction with the seventh international dry-farming congress. This grand prize is the most valuable ever offered for a single bushel and the donors, the M. Rumely Co., of La Porte, Indiana, agrees to deliver it to the winner of a contest open to the whole world at their distributing agency nearest to his farm guaranteeing all freight and customs charges. The engine is known as the Rumely oil-pull tractor, type F. It is of 15 tractive and 30-brake horse power. It is valued at $2500, when all the freight charges and duty are reckoned and is one of the best machines on the market. It is extensively used in the United States, Canada and Argentina, and it has been proven that it cuts the cost of production of a bushel of wheat in these countries 10 cents, adding that much to the pioneer farmer's profit, and making such a prize worthy of the keenest competition. It is claimed for this engine that it is one of the most economical and powerful made, that it has no idle rearing in operation at any time. NEW CHURCH COST $20,000 Fullerton Religious Circles to Have Fine Building Added to Equipment Plans have been accepted for a new $20,000 church, which will be erected at the present site of the old church at the corner of Pomona and Wilshire streets in Fullerton. The plans were drawn by Architect Fred Eley of Santa Ana and submitted to the congregation last Sunday. A few changes have been ordered since then. At the meeting last Sunday it was reported by the committee in charge that about $14,000 had been raised at the present time, and they would continue the work of raising the rest of the money needed. Building on the new church will not be commenced before a couple of months. At present the old edifice has not been disposed of. This new church is to be one of the finest in Fullerton. It will be of the classic style of architecture. The auditorium will seat about 500 people when the adjoining rooms are thrown open. Objections against signs tacked to telephone poles advertising the undertaking business were laid before the board of trustees of Fullerton at a recent meeting, and the board was requested to have them removed. The objections were made by people who thought Fullerton should be known as a live town, and that undertaking signs displayed so prominently were apt to give strangers the opinion that that sprightly city It is claimed for this engine that it is one of the most economical and powerful made, that it has no idle gearing in operation at any time and that it is adaptable to all kinds of farm work, from plowing to threshing and from hauling loads of products to logging operations. In addition to these general uses it meets special needs wherever either traction or belt power is required. "There have been a number of offers of valuable cups and machinery as prizes at the exposition, and this tractor is by no means the only world-beater as a prize that we are going to have. I look forward to a prize of nearly if not the equal in value for the best bushel of oats raised in the world, and this surely would be quite as interesting a contest as that for hard wheat, as great quantities of oats are raised by dry-farming methods. Then, too, there will be other valuable sheaf and threshed grain prizes for wheat, oats barley, rye, flax, millet, corn, sorghums, beans, peas and alfalfa, and the total value of the premiums and prizes will probably exceed $20,000. "I am receiving applications for exhibit space from scores of districts in both Canada and the United States, and besides we are assured of great exhibits from New South Wales, several countries in South America, the United States experiment stations and the provincial demonstration farms and districts in the four western provinces of Canada—Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. It will be the greatest exposition of dry farmed products and of the labor saving machinery and implements used both on the farm and in the farm house that has ever been held. Already upwards of 1000 manufacturers have been communicated with, and many have asked for the reservation of space for exhibition purposes." Special arrangements have been made with the customs service for the entry under bond of all exhibits, and our committee will furnish full information as to the customs regulations and railroad routings upon request. No charge will be made for space products at the exposition, but objections against signs tacked to telephone poles advertising the undertaking business were laid before the board of trustees of Fullerton at a recent meeting, and the board was requested to have them removed. The objections were made by people who thought Fullerton should be known as a live town, and that undertaking signs displayed so prominently were apt to give strangers the opinion that that sprightly city was a dead town. The board instructed the city marshal to see that all signs were removed where an objection was raised by property owners. On the petition of Wm. French for the appointment of a night watchman, it was agreed by the board of trustees to appoint one providing the chamber of commerce agreed to pay half the expense. Messrs. French and Coulter were appointed to confer with the chamber of commerce. A meeting of the highway commission was also held. No definite action in the appointment of an engineer was reached. There are a number of applicants being considered and it is thought that some action will be taken in the near future. The coming municipal election in April in Fullerton is not creating very much interest at present. In the coming week a number of candidates are expected to come out in the open, for they have only until Mar. 8 to file their candidacies. There are two vacancies in the city council to be filled, as Trustees Hiltscher and Coulter's terms expire this year. It is not expected that Hiltscher will be a candidate for re-election, as he is away in New Mexico at present, on mining interests. Other candidates at the April election will be the present incumbent, Mr. Collis, and in opposition to him will be John Gardner, who aspires to the office of treasurer. It is believed City Clerk C. A. Giles will be a candidate for re-election, but no other man at present is out for the position. The other positions in the city are filled by appointment by the trustees.

The southwestern portion of Arizona ranges from an altitude of approximately 350 feet above sea level along the lower course of the Colorado river to a general elevation of approximately 2000 feet in the deserts, with altitudes in excess of 4000 feet in the mountain ridges, and which cross these plains from the extreme northwest to southeast. The northern and northeastern parts consist of a high plateau ranging in altitude from 4000 to 8000 feet above sea level, with over 12,000 feet in instances. The average elevation of Arizona above sea level is approximately 4100 feet, with comparatively little below an altitude of 2500 feet. Southern and Southwestern Arizona, lying within the extremely arid southwestern portion of the United States, consists of broad desert plains interspersed with nearly parallel mountain ranges of considerable elevation, having a general northwestern and southeastern trend. The floors of the desert plains are made up of gravelly and sandy detritus, washed down from the mountains, together with sandy loam, loam and adobe soils in the vicinity of the larger streams or in the center of the basin-like plains. The plateau country is extremely varied in its surface configuration, also in its soils. Extensive areas of the plateau consist high mesas overlooking lower plains and deep valleys and bounded by abrupt escarpments and canyons, the greatest of which, the Grand Canyon, has been cut by the Colorado river. The soils of this region are formed principally from a IT'S A GREAT PLEASURE A Texan and a one day discussing its of their respects.

In the western half of Arizona the annual precipitation ranges from 1 to 10 inches, and in the eastern half from 10 to 25 inches. Irrigation is necessary to the growth of crops in the low valleys, but on the higher plains some crops are grown without it. Between 1900 and 1910 there was an increase of 81,423, or 62.2 percent in population, and an increase of 3,418, or 58.8 per cent in the number of farms. The total farm acreage, however, decreased 688,714, or 25.6 per cent, while the acreage of improved land increased 95,652, or 37.6 per cent. Farm property, which includes the land, buildings, implements and machinery and livestock (domestic animals, poultry and bees), has increased in value during the decade $45,130,000, or 150.05 per cent. Land alone increased in value 270 per cent, as WANTS TO KNOW Highway Commissioners Address Communication to Supervisors W. R. Ellis, secretary of the state highway commission, wants to know whether the supervisors of Orange county will secure a right of way through Orange county for the state highway, and provide funds for the bridges needed, and to ascertain the feeling of the board in the matter has addressed a communication to it asking that it pass a resolution obliging itself to provide the right of way on the bridges. The communication states that a number of counties have taken favorable action on the proposition. The $18,000,000 of bonds voted are inadequate for the great work projected and the commission believes that if the different counties will co-operate along the lines suggested, many more miles can be built than could be built if the right of way and bridges have Klag bay, have been put on a productive basis, with strong promise of a prosperous career. The ores, which range in value from $15 to $90 a ton, are of considerably higher grade than the average ore of southeastern Alaska. A large number of ore bodies of the same general character have long been shown to exist near Sitka, but owing to the low grade ores contained in them none have yet been brought to a producing stage. The indications afforded by present developments point strongly to the conclusion that the entire strip of territory contiguous to the west coast of Chichagof island offers a more encouraging inducement to the search for new ore bodies than any other part of the region.
