GARFIELD'S RECORD INTERIOR SECRETARY Wondering What Ballinger Will Do Says He Will Follow Policies of Predecessor. Now that James Kudolph Garfield is oat of office, theie is eonsideru Ide sjK'eulation as to his future pari in politics. Ik; denies Ihe rumors that se is lo be fiven a place on Ihe federal bench in Ohio or elsewhere, i.iid says that he is ffoin back home lo practice law. There is genuine leret amoni; the triends of the former secretary of l lie interior. He is credited with a heller understanding of western eon ditions than any other man who ever held the position. 'fhe biisines of the department un der Garfield was undotibledly bet ter administered than it has been under any Cornier secret a ry. One of the greatest reforms he in (itittcd was the classification of coal and other mineral lauds. The law provides that the lands shall be -old at a minimum price of $10 an acre Tiheti more than .1.') miles away from a completed railroad and for a min imum ot' an acre when les than .'i miles n way. The eu-tom had 1 n io sell these binds always tor the minimum price, and ninny corpo rations secured the lands ami built the railroads aftel wards from the prntit-. Garfield had the eoloficnl survey classify the lands Ms to ihe alue of the deposit and they wen sold thereafter on a business ban-. He also cleaned out the land aculs who had been corrupted by corporate interests and organized an efficient land office force. He succeeded in pettinu' through e.onpress more and better legislation affecting the ter ritories, e-pecially Hawaii and Alas ka, than any of his predecessors. Al ibis last session of congress. Garfield -eeured an appropriation "ivinir tbe land office a million dol lars lo spend to prevent frauds. In addition he ot thiouph a Inw s,.pa intimr the surface from the nib-snr-taee iu dealiup with public lands, so that a h'tmesieiider who had unwit tingly settled over a vein of coal n aL'ricnltural land could not be misted without payment of damages. t is expected that Richard A. Pal liujrer. the new secretary of the in terior, will carry out (tie same p'di eie-. although he is as different from Garfield in teniwramput and methods ns Taft is from Roosevelt. ST.

"In a close examination of the luaiiv or chards, I found but six infected trees i. here the blight held over, and these hnve hud the proper attention. "Kxperieneo has convinced the most skeptical that pent' blight is due to bacteria, and the basteriu not the result of the blight, as many orrhard isis held a year ago. When Profes sor Wait visited Ihe valley he met uiiiiiv skeptics, who thought the blight wus "sour sup." or some local trouble, ami refused to follow his suggestions. Thev puid dearly for it. Drv Season Helucd. "The splendid results that have followed the campaign against blight arc due iu no .small degree to the drv season last summer. Mlight spreads fuslest when Ihe most favorable L-rowing conditions oblain. Whole orchards iu California have been wiped out iu a season. Hut the drv wculhcr, which checked growth, also checked Ihe blight in lliu liogue Hiv er vallev. Now that the disease is thoroughly understood, il is not like ly ever to secure a foothold here." A.

"I have spent months al Crater Lake, and I never saw it twice alike two succeeding moments. lis beautv is bauntiner and fascinating, and I even dream about it. 'I am coining down horo this sum mer to secure new photographs of the hike," continued Mr. Kiser, who bus a nntioniil reputation ns an art ist photographer of landscapes.

MINIATURE FARM AT SEATTLE EXPOSITION A miuiitturo farm has been estab lished at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition where the products of the state will be cultivated as an object lesson to the visitors tn the fair hi Seattle this summer. It is hoped that such a farm will do much to wards increasing interest in the clear ing of logged off lat.ds of the state. On the exposition grounds is a pro luciiig farm iu every stage of its evolution from the country ns the timber cutter has left it, showing: practical demonstrations of the sev eral methods of clearing. This it is believed will lead to a brisk domand among the eustern visitors to the fair lor tho logged off lands ot the state. To create further interest exeur rinns will he run to the various sec tions of the state where the logged off lands are fast being converted into great producing farms. The min iature farm at the exposition will suggest the possibility of develop ment and Ihe excursions to places where such work is being done on a large scale will no doubt meet with Ihe approval of thousands ot visi tors to the 1CIMI exposition as well as their patronage after they see ihi land as it renlly is.
