STATE FARM FOR ABERDEEN.
Commercial Club Succeeds In Its
Effort to Secure Experiment Farm
and Station for Home Town.
Aberdeen will have a state exper
iment farm and station.
That's another thing that's settled.
And G. R. Bothwell, president of
the Aberdeen Townsite and Invest
ment company is the man to whom
the thanks of the whole community
are due, for making the thing
possible.
The plan to secure an experiment
Station fur Aberdeen,originated with
in the Commercial club and its offi
cers and members have labored ind-e
fatigueabiy for weeks to bring it to
pass.
When Superintendent Farrell, of
Boise, was in Aberdeen in charge of
the tVriueis' institute that was held
here early in March lie was interest- :
ed in tlie plan ariid' promised to do
all that he could do to locate an ex- |
périment farm and station here. He
said the authorities of the state ogri- :
cultural college were anxious to place
such a station in this part of the j
state, lint that it was doubtful if a
sufficient appropriation could be se
cured to purclia.se lands and erect
the accessary buildings. The Good- I
ing station, he said was established .
upon a farm owned by farmer Gover- j
nor Gooding, who donated the land i
end paid maintenance expenses.
With this hint in mind the member
of the Commercial dub got busy at j
orn/ce and laid the project in all its |
details before President Bothwell. He
had already been- thinking about the
plan and agreed at once to do as 1
much for Aberdeen us Mr. Gooding
had done for the town that bears bis
name. He declared that the station
might be located on any 40 acres he
owns near the townsite, that he
would' pay maintenance expenses,a:;d
stand half the expense of erecting
necessary buildings, providing only
that they should be such buildings
as would afterwards be useful on the
farm. He will give the use of the
land EC.id the building rent free, for
a term of years a.:d do everything
else within his power to make the
farm a great success.
One of the reasons the Agricultural
college authorities desire an experi
ment station here is that all of the
f've stations already established are
located in the eastern and northern
parts of the state, where the alti
tude is 800 feet or more below this
poiat.
Letters have already been ad
dressed to Dean Carlyle and Superin
tendent Farrell acquainting them
-with, the details of Mr. Bothwell's
offer ai..d there can be no doubt of
its immediate acceptance
The Aberdeen-Äpringfield tract is
held' in. high estimation by ail of the
officers of the Agricultural college
and they will welcome the good news
puite as heartily as the folks .at home

Dickens and the Ghost.
Alfred Tennyson Dickens, the eldest
surviving son of Charles Dickens, re
lated some Interesting reminiscences
of his father In the course of an ad
dress on "My Father's Life and
Works." The life at Gad's hill pro
vided the lecturer with several anec
dotes. One related to a ghost which
haunted a neighboring piece of waste
'and, on which stood a monument to a
cavalier named Charles Larking. As
the maid servants all threatened to
leave, Dickens, armed with a double
barreled gun, and his two sons with
bludgeons, set out to And It.
Suddenly they saw a white object
and heard an awful noise. Dickens
cried, "Stand fast, or I Are!" It proved
to be an asthmatlcal old goat.—Lon
don Evening Standard.
Treasure Added to Art World.
The lost Velasquez, discovered late
ly to the Castle of Schwartzau, near
Steinfeld, Austria, has been identified
»s the Fraga portrait, painted in 1644,
which it had been supposed had per
ished. It is now In London, where it
is to be exhibited shortly at the rooms
of the Agnews, who bought it The
Times of London Bays of it:
"It is a marvel of portraiture and a
marvel of color and, absolutely, un
touched as It is, It shows at every
point the unmistakable band of Velas
quez himself. . . . When this haj been
done (rellnlng and varnishing) this
portrait of Philip IV. will impress ail
who see it as being one of the most
complete and also one of the most at
tractive of the pictures left ,o the
world by the founder of modern por
traiture."
FEATS OF FLIGHT BY BIRDS
Some of the Migratory Feathered
Travelers Cover Distances of
7,000 Miles.
Wonderful a» may appear the fact
that young atorks tagged in central
Europe have been identified in the
Transvaal, where they were winter
ing, it is no more so than incidents of
every fall migration of North Ameri
can birds.
Even the storks, however, hold no
distance record. There are birds that
breed regularly north of the Arctic
circle and quite as regularly pass the
winter down near the point of South
America. Few of the migratory birds
travel less than 1,000 miles and some
go as far as 7,000.
The golden plover, for Instance, is
known to make the 2,500 miles be
tween Nova Scotia and the northern
part of South America In a single
flight over the sea, though It returns
in the spring by the land route. An
other long water flight Is that of 2,000
miles from Alaska to the Hawaiian
islands, which is made twice s year
by five kinds of shore birds. Though
none of these is a sea bird, it is possi
ble that sometimes there may be a
rest on the water when the ocean la
quiet enough.
Usually the migratory course Is tol
erably straight, but the sharp-tailed
sandpiper has a curious way of zig
zagging. It breeds on the north coast
of Siberia, then goes over to Alaska
for the autumn and back again to
Asia. Next It visits Chins and Japan,
Anally flying down to Australia for
the winter.—Harper's Weekly.

Bishop's Busy Day.
Discarding his horse and buggy
Bishop Abram Herr of New Danvilie.
Lancaster county, found it necessary
to procure the service of an auto
mobile in order to marry five pairs
who lived in different sections of the
county, according to a correspondent
of the Philadelphia Record. Bishop
Herr is a minister of the Mennonite
faith, and the weddings were so
scheduled that he scarcely had the
time to eat a morsel of food at tha
big feasts that always follow a coun
try wedding.
He married the first pair at his
home and then jumped into the auto
and was driven to Salunga. where he
performed another wedding ceremony.
From there the marryirg parson was
whisked to East Lampeter township,
where two pairs wero married He
solemnized the last wedding in the
evening at Mountville.
How Clouds Are Colored.
The color cf a cloud depends on
the manner in which the sunlight
falls upon it and the position of the
observer. It will be noticed that
high clouds are always white, or
light in color, and this is because the
light by which they are seen is re
fleeted from the under surface by the
numberless drops of moisture which
go to form the cloud.
Heavy rain clouds, on the other
hand, are found much nearer the
earth, and so the light falls on them
more directly from above, giving a
silver lining to the cloud, though the
under surface appears black, owing
to the complete reflection and ob
sorption of the light by the upper lay
ers. Seen from above by an observer
In a balloon the blackest rain clouds
appear of the most dazzling brilliant
white.
