In "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," Mr. Terriss appears as John the lAil ininilrii uncle who en much trouble by his wicked love for Rosa Tlud. The eompnny that has assembled to make this feature for the World Ellm Corporation, is an entirely English one, and included such famous players, as Paye Cuslck, Alfred Hem ming and Paul Sterling.

The following is taken from his noUis: The land on which thia corn waa raised had been seeded to alfalfa for fifteen years and in the spring of the yesr waa broken up nnd prepared for the crop. The corn was planted the 27th of April. The earlier the corn ia planted the In-iter if the ground is warm enough to germinate the seed. Yellow dent com was used as it gener ally produces a more solid and ia gen erally of super, or iuality. However. white corn will bring larger results and is more generally planted. This corn was planted thick with a one horse drill and then as soon as it c.i.ne through the cmun I it wss hsr- r Ai-il. The corn was plsnled a little to thick for the best results and should have been thinned. Much bin! corn weather was exeri- enced and did much to cut down the yield. When the corn waa about a foot and a half high the frost of Juna 4th struck it. It recuperated from this attack and then the hail came which, according to all reports, struck harder in thia locality. Some idoa of its (.verity may be gleaned from the fact that the apples in the orchard were unfit for packing purposes on ac count of the bruises. In raising corn the idea is to keep from watering it as long as possible. This corn was watered three times and each time aa aoon aa it waa dry enough it was plowed with a two-horae culti vator. In this way the ground did not have a chance to crack and so did not have to be irrigated so much. It was watered the last time about the middle of August. In July the suckers were pulled off. When the land wss measured and the corn harvested it was found to have produced 107 bushels lo the acre. This measurement was conducted by the Corn Club ollicials and a reort made to the Orange.'

At Important Meeting the Association Decides to Transfer Property and Business. The Ontario Cemetery Association held its annual meeting at the city hall, Jan. 11, J. ft. Gregg waa elected chair man in the absence of regular president J. A. Lackey. Vacancies on the board of directors caused by two deaths were filled by H. L. Poorman from Knights of Pythias and D. P. Dearborn from the Odd Fel low lodge. The Secretary. C. H. Brown reported about $l.'i00.00 in the irreducible fund, and $321.68 in the general fund. A resolution was passed stating the intention of the Association to diaolve, ane transfer real and personal property to the city and designating an attorney who is to be employed to take prelimin ary steps looking to the dissolution of the association. J. R. Gregg was elected trustee in place of H. T. Iluated, deceased, and D. P. Dearborn waa elected Secretary. The meeting adjourned to Feb. 8, when it is hoped the business of the Association will be so far straightned out that the intention to transfer the cemetery to the city may be accom plished. According to law one half of the re ceipts of the association must go into an irreducible fund the interest on which, if loaned out, shall be used to maintain the cemetery. The Association being in debt $1600.00 the one half of receipts will never be sufficient to wipe out the indebtedness and the only way the incumbrance can be removed ia for the association to disolve so the fund can be appropriated or that purpose. In the event of the city assuming the management and maintainence of the cemetery it is almost certain it will be aelf sustaining. f One of the most gigantic private de velopment projects ever put forward In Oregon was Initialed laat week when Jason C. Moore, head of a New York ayndlcate, waa granted by the state land board a 45-year lease on Lakes Summer and Abert.
