XI. Portland Capital, $500,000 nd OF GRISON 1822 ORTLAND, OREGON, SATUR PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26. 1907. NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Event of the Past Week. Another blizzard has blocked Dakota railroads. Shonts denies that friction caused him to resign. More charges are being made against Senatur Bailey, of Texas. Another bloody battle has occurred between Mexicans and Yaquis. The British cabinet admits that Swettenham will be recalled. Chicago has traced much of the scarlet fever epidemic to sweat shops. Eastern Republicans would grant ship subsidy to South American lines only. The naval appropriation bill carries $253,000 for the Puget sound navy yard. Bristol will retain his office as United States attorney for Oregon until the land fraud trials are finished. The census bureau has just issued a bulletin which shows that 1,750,000 children between the ages of 10 and 15 years are employed as breadwinners. Governor Swettenham, of Jamaica, threatens to dissolve the Kingston council for taking sides against him. There is a great need of lumber, but the governor refuses to receive it. The flood of the Ohio river is receding slightly. Jamaicans denounce Swettenham and ask his recall. A rate discrimination inquiry is in progress in Denver. The Colorado legislature has passed an anti-cartoon law. The Nevada legislature is considering a railroad commission bill. J. P. Dolliver will be again elected United States senator from Iowa. Oil in great quantities has been found on land owned by W. R. Hearst in Mexico. A revised list of the dead and injured of the Terre Haute train wreck shows 29 killed and 23 injured. The senate subcommittee has reported against Bristol's confirmation as district attorney for Oregon. The mayoralty contest will cost the gpeople of New York about $400,000, whether Hearst or McClellan wins out. The British government has disavowed Swettenham's action in the Jamaican affair and has called on him for an explanation. Extensive preparations are being made for the meeting of the American National Livestock association at Denver. Four thousand stockmen are expected to be in attendance. The flood in the Ohio valley is th worst since 1884. Chicago hopes for a cold wave to stop the epidemic of disease. Senator Fulton will work for a law to save Columbia river salmon. General Funston recommends better pay for army officers and men. High water in the streams at Winfield, Kan., have flooded the town and many families have had to move out. Ex-Governor Higgins, of New York, has been fatally stricken with heart failure. Sixteen were burned to death in the fire following the collision of a freight and passenger train on the Big Four at Fowler, Ind. Fire destroyed much of the business part of Beaufort, S. C. The loss is placed at $700,000 with only one-third covered by insurance. Professor William I. Thomas, of the Chicago university, says woman is not the equal of the white man, but is about equal to the negro mentally. The Gila river in Arizona has overflowed its oanks and is doing much damage. The San Francisco school board says President Jordan, of Stanford, was flushed with wine when he denounced their attitude in the Japanese school question. The San Francisco school board is enraged at President Jordan, of Stanford university, because he favors the Japanese in the controversy now on in San Francisco. The president has signed the bill passed by both houses of congress for the relief of Kingston. --- 1 Interstate Commerce Commission Meets in Portland Portland, Jan. 25. —Traffic conditions in this state were investigated yesterday before Franklin K. Lane, member of the Interstate Commerce commission, the object being to determine the legality of the Harriman merger of railroads. The questions of Attorney Severance for the commission were intended to draw out shippers and railroad men as to v. hether competition has been stifled by the merger and alternate routes for traffic closed. The testimony of shippers was that there has been no competition between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific worthy of the name since the consolidation under one management in 1901. It was further brought out by the testimony of Thomas McCusker, a former employee of the Harriman system, that Ogden gateway via the Sacramento route was closed upon the accomplishment of the merger, and shipment from this territory via Sacramento to the East was stopped. Orders were, he said, to send traffic over the O. R. & N. and Union Pacific to the East. This change gave a more direct route and relieved the Harriman lines of hauling freight over the Siskiyous. It is the of the railroad interests that many routes are open to the shipper; that none have been closed and that the sole instances where shipmills have been advised by way of the Union Pacific to the exclusion of other routes have been because of the lack of cars on other lines. Was Attending to Business as Usual Almost to the End. Washington, Jan. 24. — United States Senator Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, died suddenly at his residence in this city at 8:45 o'clock this morning, following an acute attack of oedema of the lungs, with which he was stricken shortly after 8 o'clock. Although Mr. Alger had not been in good health for some time, his death was most unexpected. The senator last night was apparently in his usual health. During the day he transacted considerable business, and was at the War department up to a late hour yesterday afternoon. At the bedside when he passed away were Mrs. Alger, and their son, Captain F. M. Alger, and his wife. On Tuesday night Mr. Alger, when about to leave the house to attend a dinner given in honor of Senator-elect William Alden Smith by the Michigan delegation, suffered an attack of heart failure, but it was only with difficulty that he was persuaded to reman at home. He attended the session of the senate Tuesday afternoon and appeared as well as usual. Vice President Fairbanks was the first to call at the Alger residence today to express sympathy. The funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at the family residence in this city. The body will be taken to Detroit for burial. Europe Hung With Icicles and Choked With Snow. London, Jan. 25.—Arctic weather conditions continue to prevail in the whole of Europe, while, curiously enough, the actual Arctic regions, Northern Norway and Iceland, report the prevalence of mild and rainy weather. All the vessels reaching British ports are covered with long icicles and have snow on their decks. Telegrams received from all parts of the continent give almost incredible reports of the extreme rigor of the weather and consequent suffering. Many deaths are reported. In Austria two sentinels were found dead at their posts as a result of the cold. The heavy snow continues in Russia and Turkey, and the Danube is frozen over in several places in Roumania. Slight earthquakes are reported from Batoum. The blizzard continues at Constantinople, where the snow is said to be several feet deep. Navigation on the Bosphorus and the Black sea has been practically suspended. Washington, Jan. 25.—Speaking of a dispatch from Kansas City concerning the new order for recruiting negro soldiers, Major-General Ainsworth, the military secretary, today said that no significance should attach to the orders given for the enlistment of negroes for service in the Philippines. The orders were not confined to Kansas City alone, but were sent to other recruiting points. It is said to be the invariable custom of the department so far as possible to recruit up to their full strength all regiments. Minneapolis, Jan. 25. — The North Dakota fuel shortage again is becoming serious, according to reports received here. Inability of the railroads to keep freight trains moving is responsible, in a large degree, for this condition. PROBE HARRIMAN SYSTEM SENATOR ALGER DEAD. STILL ENCASED IN ICE. No Exception to the Rules. Relieve Idaho Settlers PROCEEDINGS OF OREGON LEGISLATURE Thursday, January 24 Salem, Jan. 24. — Both houses this afternoon adjourned until Monday. This is largely due to the state printer being unable to secure enough compositors to turn out the work on time and will allow him time to catch up. The two houses this morning met in joint assembly and listened to an address by Mr Bryan. A bill was introduced in the senate permitting capital punishment for robbers who are captured armed with dangerous weapons. Bills were also introduced in the senate creating the county of North Grant and create a railroad commission to be appointed by the governor. In the house new measures included the appointment of a commission to investigate the fire insurance business and one providing that each county shall be a judicial district and providing for a prosecuting attorney for each county. The bill providing for publication of notice of all estrays was passed by the house. The senate bill fixing the Linn-Lane boundary was also passed by the house. Four bills were passed by the senate. They provide: For holding meetings of state textbook commission in May instead of July; raising fees of jurors from $2 to $3 per day; fixing salaries in Douglas county; to turn unexpended school funds back into the county school fund instead of the general fund. Wednesday. January 23 Salem, Or., Jan. 23. — There are pending in both houses an unusually large number of lien bills and in a majority of cases the advantages that will follow their enactment are conferred upon the laboring man who performs work and who, under the present statute, in many instances experiences no end of trouble in getting what is his due, when he does not lose out altogether. It has been discovered that all line officers of the O. N. G. have been chosen in violation to the state constitution. Representative Jackson has prepared a bill to remedy the defect. The bill providing that jurors may be kept together in civil actions has the honor of being the first to pass the house. The senate passed the bill agreed upon by Lane and Linn fixing the boundary between those counties. Governor Chamberlain sent a message to both houses today asking more money for the Jamestown exposition. A total of 10 bills have been introduced relating to roads and highways. Johnson's measure providing for joint improvement by county and state is the most important. Twenty-four new measures were read for the first time in the house today. This makes a total of 237. Among the 19 bills in the senate were two by Pailey amending the direct primary law. One provides for party conventions before the primary election and the other makes statement No. 1 pledge apply to party candidates only. The election of Mulkey and Bourne as United States senators was confirmed today in joint session of the two houses as the law requires. The journal of yesterday's election in the two houses was read and President Haines thereupon declared them elected. Mulkey serves until March 4, 1907, and Bourne six years from that date. Tuesday, January 22. Salem, Jan. 22.—Both houses of the legislature in separate session today elected Jonathan Bourne, Jr., United States senator for the long term and Fred W. Mulkey for the short term. The vote on Mulkey was unanimous in the house and all members of the senate present voted for him. Three representatives, Reynolds, Rodgers and Settlemier, of Marion, refused to support Bourne. These men explained that they did not pledge themselves and also that their constituents gave a plurality against him. Four senators, Booth of Lane, Laycock of Grant, Miller of Linn-Marion and Whealdon of Wasco, voted against Bourne. The senators gave much the same reason as the representatives for not favoring Bourne. The vote stood: Mulkey — House, 60; senate, 27. Bourne—House, 57; senate, 23. No progress has so far been made in either house on the railroads bills that provide for a commission, reciprocal demurrage, maximum rates, taxation of gross receipts, etc. These subjects have hardly been heard of yet in the senate, and only one bill has appeared there relating to them. This is the bill of Senator Johnson, of Benton, providing for reciprocal demurrage and prohibiting rebates and discrimination, but omitting the commission. In the house, however, a number of bills have been introduced. A joint memorial was introduced in the senate this morning by Senator Multi asking congress to compel the owners of the Oregon & California Railroad company to sell its grant lands at the price stipulated in the grant. The resolution was referred to the committee on resolutions. NO. 40. By unanimous vote the senate adopted a memorial asking congress to remove all tariffs on raw jute or jute bags. This move will quite likely tend to defeat any effort to establish a jute mill at the state penitentiary. By combining two resolutions the senate sought to eliminate one junketing trip. Resolutions had been introduced for the appointment of a committee to confer with a committee from Washington on the subject of fisheries and another committee to confer on pilotage. The senate committee on resolutions provided that one committee should be provided for the two purposes. Monday. January 21. Salem, Jan. 21. — Standing committees of the Oregon legislature were announced this afternoon by President Haines of the senate and Speaker Davey of the house. In each case the best places were secured by the supporters of Haines and Davey for leadership. The hunters' license law, it is safe to say, will be changed this session. Two bills relating to the subject have already appeared in the house. The normal school question is already a live one in this session. Last week a bill to cut off Drain and Ashland was introduced. Today a bill was introduced to close the Drain and Monmouth schools. The house unanimously passed over the veto of the governor the bill to regulate the manufacture and sale of commercial fertilizers. This was one of the seven house bills of the 1905 session vetoed by the governor. Altogether 77 bills were read for the first time in the house today. In the senate 18 new measures appeared. Reorganization of the judicial system of Oregon is proposed in a senate bill. Among the house bills were: To collect inheritance tax on estates of $5,000 and up, instead of $10,000 as at present; bounties ranging from $5 to $20 for scalp of wild animals, two-thirds to be paid by the county and one-third by the state; creating the office of inspector of mines, and several covering the several sections of the report of the state tax commission, in each case advocating the adoption of the report. In the senate the new measures included: For reciprocal demurrage and prohibiting rebates and discrimination; for transportation of convicts by prison employees; to purchase land adjoining the capitol grounds on the east side, and to provide for working county prisoners on public highways. May Refund Money. Salem—Holders of fraudulently procured state school land certificates are to receive their money back, if the recommendation of Governor Chamberlain shall be carried out. At the request of the governor, Attorney General Crawford has prepared a bill, authorizing the state land board, in its discretion, to refund to a holder of such a certificate whatever money had been paid to the state thereon. Logging Company Buys Timber. Astoria—The Bremner Logging company has purchased from Birch & McClure 800 acres of timber land near Young's River falls. This is said to be one of the finest bodies of timber in this section. PORTLAND MARKETS Fruits—Apples, common to choice, 50@15 per box; choice to fancy, $1@ 2.50; pears, $1@1.50.

TOPICS OF THE TIMES Raise a big family and uphold the President's hands. There are two sides to every question. Your side and the wrong side. Numerous financial rubbernecks are making anxious inquiries as to this proposed elastic currency. It is extremely doubtful whether Count Boni would prove a success as a head waiter if the job calls for any head work. The London writers have started a movement to put a stop to the practice of tipping. The fear of dying rich must be spreading rapidly. Spain is building a new navy. As Spain has no more colonies on her hands the chances are that the new navy will prove a durable one. Mr. Eckels has hit the nail fairly on the head. What we all need is a "responsive currency," one that will come when we whistle or call it by name. A Connecticut judge has decided that a turtle is not an animal. The Treasury Department would probably rule, for purposes of duty, that it is canned salmon. The scramble among Oklahoma towns to become county seats promises to equal the mad rush for claims when the territory was thrown open to settlement. A woman's magazine asks: "What implement can equal a hairpin in the deft hands of woman?" Well, in some cases a hairpin in the deft hands of another woman. "There are some things," notes the Richmond Times-Democrat, "that you can't say even to a Pittsburgh." For instance, you can't ask him to be proud of his idle millionaires. An English astronomer, after years of careful work, ventures the opinion that there are 64,184,757 stars. Some people are sure they saw more than that the first time they put on roller skates. Andrew Carnegie wishes to have it understood that Skibo, the name of his place in Scotland, is pronounced Skeeboo. If Andrew doesn't watch out now irreverent people may get to calling it Skidoo. At Dresden, Germany, a public bathing house for dogs has been opened. If Dresden is one of the places where dogs are utilized in the sausage business, it is no more than right that they should be kept as clean as possible. The number of women who kill men unfortunate enough to have incurred their displeasure and then invoke the unwritten law is getting uncomfortable large. Perhaps there may yet be necessity for going to the extreme of seeing if the other kind of law doesn't fit. In view of the trouble in Europe the people of this country may well congratulate themselves that the fathers settled the relations of church and state at the very beginning of our existence as a nation, and settled it for all time, for no one wishes to interfere with the conclusion reached. Happily the horse has a faculty for upsetting the gloomy predictions that he is fated to be put out of business by the automobile. The horse business has kept right on developing in spite of the fact that the automobile industry has been engaged in a similar undertaking. The demand for horses is still great. The supply of some classes of them is inadequate. The prices are high. The automobile may scare the horse into the ditch, but it isn't likely to crowd him to the wall. There will always be a field for the horse, as there will always be a field for the automobile. Reports from places which used voting machines in the recent State elections show the superiority of the machine over the lead-penell-and-ballot method. In no place where the machines were used were returns later than one-half hour after the closing of the polls. In most places where the old-fashioned way of voting prevailed there was seldom a complete and accurate return within twenty-four hours. Machines are now in use in more than 600 cities, towns and villages in the United States. Buffalo, Syracuse, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Milwaukee Cleveland and Omaha are among the larger cities where they have been adopted. It is not sufficiently recognized that agriculture is a scientific pursuit and that in order to get the very best returns out of it a man could to advantage utilize a special scientific education as truly as does the doctor or lawyer or the engineer. It is not merely because of the increased material return that such education for the farmer is of value. The intellectual and moral dividends would by means of such training be equally increased. It is a great loss in human power and happiness that thousands of men engaged in one of the most scientific of pursuits should go about it without get- ting the same moral and intellectual satisfaction that comes to men in other callings in which the professional element has been more consciously recognized. Herculaneum, the rich and splendid city that was buried, along with Pompell and Stabie, by the eruption of Vesuvius in A. D. 79, is to be dug from the mass of tufa which covered it, and its buildings are to be disclosed to view. Professor Waldstein of Cambridge University has induced the Italian government to consent to the work, on condition that it be officially directed by Italians, and that the assistance of foreigners, financially and otherwise, shall be unofficial. Should the enterprise be carried out, we shall soon have much light thrown on the manner of life of the Romans of the first century. Herculaneum, far more than Pompell, was the residence of wealthy and cultivated citizens. Their houses were filled with artistic objects and their libraries contained the best literature of the period. In a partial excavation nearly two thousand manuscript rolls were found in one house. Pompell was covered with small stones and soft ashes from the volcano. Herculaneum was buried beneath a torrent of mud to the depth of from thirty to a hundred and twenty feet. On top of it two large modern villages have been built. General excavation has not been undertaken, lest the stability of the villages should be threatened. Plans now making provide for tearing down these villages, so far as necessary, to get at the city beneath. In the comparatively near future we may expect to hear reports of the uncovering of fine bronze and marble statuary, of beautiful mansions, of libraries filled with ancient books, some of them for centuries known by tradition only. In short, it will be as if we were taken back more than eighteen hundred years, and were able to look upon the city as its inhabitants suddenly left it when Vesuvius poured forth the flood of mud, molten rock and scalding water upon the towns of its seaward slope. The present period is distinguished for two things—prosperity and discontent. Despite many glaring inequalities or inequities in the distribution of its results, great prosperity has prevailed in the United States for eight or nine years, and there are no visible signs of its interruption. Yet it is a matter of common remark that only in a few trying times of great industrial depression, when millions of working people were deprived of opportunities to earn a living, has there been so much discontent as is seen and heard and felt in these times of amazing prosperity. Never before were attacks on the great trusts made with such determination and effect. Never before were the people so united and so zealous in warfare upon political graft in all sections. The discontent of the period is not more grumbling. It is enlightened desire for better conditions. Such discontent is the parent of all progress. If the American people were more content with a full stomach they would be less energetic and progressive. To an individual, a tribe, or a people who are contented, who have all they desire, progress is impossible. But for those whose ideals are higher than any present attainment, the longing for better things, who have shown up here and there in all the ages and who have become more numerous and more insistent as one after another their aims and longings have been gratified, the progress of the human family would never have advanced beyond naked barbarism. We are a discontented people—there's no denying it, and no reason for trying to deny it. Because we are discontented we hustle and "get there." The discontent is not at all due to the prosperity, but the prosperity is very largely due to the discontent. We have not reached perfection yet, and the fact that we know it and kick about it is the best possible assurance that affairs will steadily grow better. Historic Ship House Sold. The historic Ship house and a part of the Johnson homestead on Germantown avenue north of Washington lane have been sold to James J. Allen, a builder. Workmen will start to raze the once famous hostelry, which has stood for more than a century. Mr. Allen will preserve the old stone carving of a ship which was built in the gable end of the house and gave the place its name. This will be presented to one of the historical societies. These properties bear marks of bullets fired during the revolutionary war, the battle of Germantown having been fought there. The Johnson homestead has been in the family possession since the time of William Penn, from whom they hold the original grant. The Ship house has seen many changes of ownership. One of the earliest owners was Captain Darlen, an old skipper, who placed the carving of the ship in position. When Captain Darlen died the heirs sold the place to Jacob Peters, who conducted a line of stage coaches and made this a stopping place. When Peters died the place was sold to Jas. Ford, who opened a private school there. He died and the heirs contemplated selling it for use as an insane asylum. The Bockius family owned the adjoining property and objected, so were compelled to buy the place. It was again turned into a hotel and remained so until the elder Bockius was killed by a horse about sixty years ago. Mr. Allen will build sixty-eight houses on the site—Philadelphia Ledger. Not even a professor of mathematics is competent to solve the woman problem. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON PASTEURIZED DAIRY COMPANY, Inc.

One Year, payable in advance.....$2.00 Our Can idate for President JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER Of Ohio TILLMAN AND THE NEGROES. Discussing Senator Tillman's recent speeches on the Brownsville affair the Detroit News, a conservative, independent paper, says: "While it is easy to characterize Senator Tillman as a blatherskite or a fanatic, as has been done on previous occasions when he has vehemently expressed the sentiments and convictions which were the subject matter of his tirade in the senate on Saturday, it is no longer possible to overlook the fact that his utterances are representative of an opinion and a determination sufficiently widespread to constitute a most serious menace to the social and political tranquility of the nation. "However reckless and incendiary may be the forms of expression he chooses, it is not safe to forget that, as to the fundamentals of the problem that so excites him, he speaks with a many-tongued voice. His intemperance and unreason should not be permitted to conceal the facts as to the extent to which the south as a whole is prepared to go to insure the continued dominance of its ideas on the race question. "It is a singular fact that, to date, the very measures which at their inception were advertised as a panacea for the difficulties involved have apparently produced a notable increase in the intensity of race feeling, and in the frequency of its violent outbreaks. When southern congressmen were pleading a few years ago that their people be left alone to work out their own problems as best they might, and protesting against resort to the fifteenth amendment in correction of the disfranchisement provisions of their new state constitutions, the dominant party was clearly inclined to listen sympathetically. With such exceptions as Crumpacker, of Indiana; McCall, of Massachusetts, and a few other republican leaders there appeared to be a distinct disposition in the dominant party to at least await the observation of such results as might be achieved by the practical elimination of the negro vote. "Instead of increased tranquility at the south and the abatement of the intenser aspects of the conflict, there has followed a period of disturbance and of epidemic race wars unparalleled since reconstruction days, and these outbreaks have not been confined entirely to the former slave states. It is Tillman's value in this situation that he utters frankly thoughts which are in many minds and glories in declarations which other men are suppressing, in the waning hope that some means of avoiding a direct meeting of the issue may yet be devised." While Tillman's sentiments may find a responsive echo in the minds of many southerners, there are on the other hand a great many other people in that section of the country that do not applaud him or approve of much that he says, while in the north and west, the sections of he country that will dominate on any issue that may arise, even, if it be necessary the negro or race question, there are comparatively few who agree with him. The north and west were and are willing to leave the suffrage question in the south to the states of that section and are making no loud or concerted protest about the practical disfranchisement of the colored voters in violation of the constitution of the United States, nor do they care how closely private social lines are drawn between the races; but the country as a whole will not quietly submit to seeing the negroes deprived of oppor- tunities and advantages for earning a livelihood in freedom, acquiring the rudiments at least of an education and bettering their condition as best they may. This is what Tillman insists shall not be done, and he roars in violent wrath at the proposition to give the colored man equal opportunities, to give him an equal chance to become independent and self respecting, and as far as may be in fact as well as in law, equal. He would give the black man no chance to be anything but a drudge, a serf, a creature entirely dominated and in all respects subordinate and dictated to by his white master. He goes on the theory, and draws conclusions from the assertion that the negro is utterly incapable and unworthy of being anything better or else than a slave in fact if not in law, and he considers official treatment of him as an equal or as entitled to equal rights as an outrage upon the white race in general and the Tillman tribe in particular. With this the people of the north and west, and many of the south, will not agree, and they will not tolerate the carrying out of Tillman's theory and policy to a very great extent. The colored people are citizens, entitled to the laws protection, and while partly for policy's sake and partly out of ancient prejudices the people of the country may allow discriminations against the blacks to a certain extent, they will not allow either their re-enslavement or extermination, which seems to be Tillman's ultimatum. If the race war predicted by Tillman and other blatherskites and negrophobists should ever occur, it is they who will be chiefly responsible for it and not the colored people, and this the people of the great north and west will understand, and will act accordingly. MR. BRYAN. Mr. W. J. Bryan has paid Portland another visit and was the object of much attention. He is on a lecturing tour, receiving, it is said as high as $500 a night, and so can well afford to look pleasant and talk optimistically. It is nothing to his discredit that he makes a great deal of money in this way; almost anybody would do the same if they could; but it is an indication that he is just about like the rest of mankind, and likes to see the dollars rolling his way. He is a pleasing and entertaining speaker, a good citizen, a man with a large store of knowledge, much of it gained by observant travel; but there is slight if any evidence that he is or ever could be a great statesman, or that he would be entirely a fit or safe man to elect president of the United States. The people like to meet Mr. Bryan, like to have him drop around occasionally, even like to roll up their shining plunks to hear him talk, though he says nothing new or of any especial importance; but when it comes to electing him president they balk, and vote for his opponent. Mr. Bryan was beaten pretty badly for president in 1896, and being nominated again in 1900 was beaten a good deal worse. In 1904 he dropped out, and Parker was beaten even worse than Bryan had been four years before. That turned the tide toward him again, and it is considered certain that he will again and for the third time be the nominee in 1908. He will very likely run somewhat stronger than he did on previous occasions; he is older, wiser, and more trustworthy; the people like him rather better and are not quite so much afraid of him—that is as a president; but they are not likely to elect him in 1908, unless events now unforeseen should take place. Mr. Bryan is a thoroughgoing democrat in politics, and the democratic party is still largely in the minority in this country and is likely to remain so for a considerable number of years to come. But Mr. Bryan need not worry. If he can stand two crushing defeats so easily, he won't much mind another one, and for years yet he will have the ability to keep the white plunks rolling his way by the thousands, which, while it isn't everything on earth, does a good deal to make a man contented, good natured and optimistic. O yes, we all like Mr. Bryan, but when it comes to voting for him for President—well, that's different. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON RAILROAD COMMISSION. killed. perhaps the railroad co The legislature may enact a railroad commission law, but it will not put the power of appointing the commissioners in the hands of the governor, and he ought not to expect that this will be done. Politics should figure as little as possible in the selection of a railroad commission, but it will figure no more to have it appointed by the legislature or by a board of three officers, one of them a democrat, than if left to a governor, who must be a democrat or a republican. Why should it be assumed that the secretary of state or state treasurer would be influenced any more by politics or be any more prejudiced than the governor? Why, the idea is untenable, if not preposterous. It is said the people elected Chamberlain notwithstanding he is a democrat; but at the same time they elected Benson, Steele, Crawford, Dunniway and Judge Eakin by far larger majorities. Again, admitting that the governor has a pretty good head and would mean to do right, haven't those other men the same qualifications. And are not three good heads better than one on such an important business? But after the first choice is made the commissioners ought to be elected by the people. It is a strange and untenable proposition again that the people who elect other state officers, who elect the governor, who it is contended should appoint these men, that elect our supreme judges, surely filling a very important position, that now even elect United States senators, cannot be trusted to elect these commissioners. Why should the people be trusted in all these cases and not in the case of railroad commissioners? We have read some alleged or attempted reasons, invented, we suppose, by Mr. Teal, but really could see no logic, weight or reason in them. Railroad legislation is certainly very necessary, and a commission is probably the best way to secure desired results, but the first members of the commission should be chosen by a board of state officers—one of the supreme judges would be a good person to have on it—and after that elected by the people, one every two years. It might be added that if the people don't get good commissioners in this way it will be their own fault; they will get as good ones as they choose and deserve. STREET RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. There were three street car collisions Wednesday morning, and although nobody was killed several people were injured, and that there were no fatalities is due to good luck rather than to good management or judgment or due care on the part of the crews. We don't know what the facts are in these cases as to the experience and general capability of the platform men, but it is pretty safe to assume that they are incompetent put in to take the places of men who have become disgusted with the business. However this may be, it is certain that men really competent for these positions cannot be obtained in sufficient number permanently. There are a good many competent and careful motormen and conductors, no doubt, men who have long engaged in this work and would hardly know how to take hold of anything else, or who think it better to hang on at present wages in hope of a raise before long; but the public can't and doesn't expect good, careful service of men paid the wages these men are paid for the work they are required to do. This is not a matter, as the company assumes it is, entirely between itself and its employees. It is a matter in which the public at large has a lively and vital interest, for the public is entitled to good service and to the employment of only competent and decently paid men, who will carry people in safety and with as little inconvenience as possible, and in the public's interest the daily papers ought to call upon the company to raise the men's wages and employ only experienced and trustworthy platform men. The people don't care particularly about the smashing up of a few cars—rather enjoy that, in fact—but they do or ought to ooject to being subjected not only to constant and irritating delays but to danger also. When a few more people have been killed, perhaps the railroad company will hear from the people in a way that will cause some improvement in the service. In the meantime representatives from Portland in the legislature ought to examine the subject and see if any law could be passed that would compel the company to treat the public decently. Every organized government except that of the negro republic of Liberia, is said to have been invited to the approaching Hague conference. As Abyssinia, which is specially invited, is a negro kingdom, and as Hayti is a negro republic, and Santo Domingo very much so, it is difficult to see why the original negro republic is excluded. Judges Bean and Moore each received a few complimentary votes for senator. Oregon might be glad and proud if either one of them could have been ejected. Well, hurrah for Bourne, then. The New Age gives in, and hopes he will make a very influential and useful senator. The governor is a "good fellow," of course, but he can't expect to have quite his own way about everything. The initiative one hundred seems to be preparing to ask for a good deal more than the people will stand. The senatorial question is settled for two years. Then it will be Fulton against the field. Senator Mulkey can't learn many of the ropes by experience before March 4th. Besides, we might have a rather poor stick for governor some time. Politics can't possibly be wholly weeded out of office getting. The country will have to suffer six years more of Tillman. The mayor finds trouble Bruin in the police department. Bryan didn't make any new democrats by his talks. Well, who all want to run for mayor and councilmen? Beginning to get down to business in Salem. MUST APOLOGISE OR RETIRE Fate of Swettenham Unless He Can Give Good Excuse. London, Jan. 23.—The incident arising from the exchange of letters at Kingston between Governor Swettenham and Rear Admiral Davis now appears to be entering the waiting stage, as the government, after doing all possible in the absence of advices from the Governor of Jamlace, is obliged to defer further action until he reports. In the meantime the trend of official sentiment is toward having Governor Swettenham apologize or retire, but this is based on the press accounts of the incident and on letters, and it may be modified by Governor Swettenham's version, giving extenating circumstances. In the absence of a report from the Governor to his government, his dispatch to Secretary Root, which has been reproduced here, tends further to mystify the mind of the public, which finds it difficult to reconcile the Governor's present recognition of the assistance rendered by the American squadron wit hthe terms of the previous letter. SEIZE FOOD SUPPLIES Mayor of Cincinnati Orders Police to Stop Extortion. Cincinnati, Jan. 23.—Mayor Dempsey yesterday afternoon issued orders to the police to confiscate food and fuel where needed for relief of flood sufferers and where dealers attempted to extort unreasonable prices. This action was taken because of numerous reports of extortion in charges for transportation and for relief supplies. Those attempting extortion will be arrested. The high water in the Ohio river is slowly but steadily receding tonight. The railroads have begun preparations to resume regular traffic, although it will be several days before the tracks are safe. Relief work continues actively. Six school buildings have been turned over as temporary homes for the sufferers. The city council tonight appropriated a sum for a relief fund which is being augmented by private subscriptions. Appeals for aid have been received from many Kentucky towns. Disgusted With Swettenham. Disgusted With Swettenham. London, Jan. 23.—In a dispatch from Kingston the correspondent of the Chronicle records the extreme indignation of all classes at Governor Swettenham's conduct and says so much disgust is felt that people will demand his recall. "In every direction the government has blundered," the correspondent says, "and is still blundering badly, while it is palpably unable to cope with the situation." The Tribune and other papers publish telegrams couched in similar terms. PHONE EAST 26 287 E. MORRISON ST.

Rhodes is confined to the house with lagripe. Mrs. K. Duffy is suffering with a severe attack of bronchial troubles. Mrs. J. N. Fullilove has so far recovered her health as to be able to be out again. Mrs. C. C. Turner of 474 Davis street is indisposed from the effects of a severe cold. Mr. S. Washington received the sad news this week of the death of his sister in Kansas City. Mrs. F. D. Thomas accompanied by her daughter, Ulysses, and son, Fred, left for Los Angeles, Cal., Thursday evening. Mrs. Thomas makes the trip in hopes that the change of climate will benefit her daughter, who has been ill for several months past. After several years of single blessédness one of our pioneer citizens has elegantly furnished a house in the southern part of the city and rumor says that ere long one of the gentler sex will arrive from the far south to share it with him. We wish them much joy. Mr. Geo. Singleton and family, who have lived at 244 Park street for several years past will shortly remove to other quarters as the property where they now reside has changed hands and the new owners contemplate improving it by the erection of a large, modern building. The daily press says that an effort is going to be made by the weather bureau to give what they call long distance weather predictions. If it will cheapen the cost to the country let them come at once as they cannot be any more unreliable than the predictions of the local weather observer for the past month or so. Have you received a ticket for the old fashioned experience social to be given by the members of the House hold of Ruth at their hall Tuesday, Feb. 12. The proceeds are for the benefit of their regalia fund, and as each member will, in an original poetical composition relate how they made a dollar those who attend may expect to be amused, entertained and instructed. Howard Sproull for some time past assistant janitor of the U. S. postoffice building has resigned in order to accept a more lucrative position. Another example of the fact that there are better opportunities open to our young men than seeking positions under the government, as the only positions open to the colored man, with a very few exceptions, are menial ones with less pay attached than similar positions in private life offer. On Tuesday evening at their hall Second and Yamhill the Household of Ruth No. 844 G. U. O. of O. F. installed the following officers: Hattie Redmon P. M. N. G.; Lulu Easton, M. N. G.; Ruby White, R. N. G.; Marion Cumby, N. G.; Dora Newman, W. R.; Susie Crawford, W. T.; Mary Fullolive, W. P.; C. A. Ritter, W. Counsel; Maggie Stokes, W. Chamberlin; Marie Penny, W. Sheppard; Anna Rhoades, W. Usher; Blanche Crawford, R. S. S.; Etta Ritter, L. S. S.; Hattie Smith, L. J. S.; W. B. Robinson, P. R. S. S.; Crawford, P. L. S. S. H. Smith R. Crawford and W. B. Robinson were elected as trustees. After the installation, a very pleasant social time was enjoyed by the officers and members of the lodge. We note that the Oregonian with its usual effort at fairness contains in last Monday's issue an article mentioning specific instances where negroes have attained to prominence in one direction or another. It was decidedly refreshing after reading so much of late that seemed to convey the impression that there was nothing good in the negro and that it was a waste of time and effort to give him a chance to compete with the other races of the earth. There is one other thing that we can think of that is to cease to use sensational head lines and placing on the front pages reports of crimes committed and assumed to have been committed by negroes while in the same issues very often there are several similar accounts of like breaches of the law by white men which are passed over with a little obscure notice of three or four lines of very small type. All the negro asks is that the same treatment be accorded him that is accorded to other men. A negro criminal is neither better nor worse than one whose skin is white and no other agency can do more in moulding public opinion in this matter than the public press. TACOMA NOTES Mrs. Collins is very low at her home. Master Edgar Hall is on the sick list. Mrs. D. W. Gibson, Jr., has a severe cold. Mr. William Ewing of Alaska is in our city visiting. Miss Ruth Freeman is quite sick with an attack of lagripe. Mrs. Laura Tucker is suffering with a severe attack of tonsillitis. Mr. H. J. Asberry was quite sick last week with a severe cold. Miss Ella Sledge is reported quite sick with an attack of lagripe Miss B. Rucker returned home Thursday evening from Portland. Mrs. D. W. Gibson, Jr. has accepted the position at the People's store as matron. Mr. W. L. Goldborough is unable to resume his work on account of a severe attack of rheumatism. Miss Blanche Rucker left last Tuesday night with Mrs. George Wilson to attend Mrs. Wilson's brother's funeral. Mr. E. Longress and family who have been living on Commerce street, have bought a home on South Trafton street. Mrs. John Davis, her mother, Mrs. Clarke and Mrs. Robertson gave a fountain social at church last Friday evening. Mrs. Geo. Wilson returned home Sunday evening from Portland where she went to attend the funeral of her brother, Geo. Turner. Mr. Will Delaney of Ravendale, died at his home Friday and was buried in Tacoma Sunday. He leaves a wife and four children who will move to the city in a few weeks. Tacoma people send their sympathy to the Turner family who lost a son, George, last Tuesday. His sister and brother-in-law of this city attended the funeral at Portland. OUR CHICAGO LETTER January 16th, 1907. Mrs. Clara Harding of 361 30th st., will leave for Hot Springs, Ark., for a visit next week. The St. John's Grand Lodge of A. F. & A. Masons of the State of Illinois will meet in special session in this city, January 24th, 1907. The public's attention is again called to the notorious Black Diamond Development Company, that seems to be of a mushroom growth. This is the same one, that one, Rev. A. J. Cary, is connected with. Officer John Anderson and Officer David Smith, and Officer Harding are regarded as among the best police officers in Chicago. They are colored men who have been on the police force for many years. Mrs. J. H. Johnson of 358 East 27th street, a Royal Matron of Queen Esther Chapter of the Eastern Star conducted the ceremonies in the admission of several new members in the chapter last Friday. Rankings & White's drug store on State and 36th street is owned and managed by these two enterprising colored men. They are recognized as being among the most experienced drug men in this city. Mrs. Amelia Foster, the most worthy grand matron of Morning Light Court of Daughters of Sphinx conducted the ceremonies of the iniation of several prominent members in the order. The Order of Daughters of Sphinx is one of the popular and secret organizations among the colored people. Mrs. S. Hopkins, the Supreme Grand Matron has called the next session of the Supreme Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star of the United States and Canada to meet in Buffalo, N. Y., on Wednesday morning, July 10th, 1907. Each Grand Chapter in the United States is requested to send delegates. At a meeting of the Occidental Club which was attended by a large number of persons last Thursday they voted to see who was the most prominent colored minister in Chicago. Rev. J. F. Thomas, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church was the recipient of the honor, he having received twice as many votes as any other colored minister in Chicago. Among the leading and influential colored men in Chicago are Hon. E. H. Morris, Rev. J. F. Thomas, Walter M. Farmer, Esq. Hon. John G. Jones, Dr. George C. Hall, M. E. A. Harper, Hon. Theodore W. Jones, Dr. Alexander Lane, Mr. James A. Scott, Dr. W. E. Mackey, Rev. Jesse Woods, Rev. H. W. Stewart, Mr. W. W. Johnson, Mr. T. D. McFarland, Mr. S. H. Prather and Mr. Emanuel Jackson. The people of Chicago have not forgotten that a short time ago The Chicago Daily Tribune of this city undertook almost at every issue of their paper to kindle a flame of prejudice against the colored people of Chicago in their effort to have separate schools in the city of Chicago. It was reported that this vicious and unfair movement had the sanction of such insignificant individuals among the colored people as one, Richard E. Moore, Mrs Alberta M. Smith and Joseph W. Moore. The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons for the State of Illinois met in annual session last Monday with ten subordinate Royal Arch Chapters represented. Much important business was transacted. The following grand officers were elected: The Companion John G. Jones 33. Most Excellent Grand High Priest; S. H. Prather 33. Deputy Grand High Priest; F. A. Campbell 33. Grand King; William Lier 32. Grand Scribe; Oscar Campbell 33. Grand Royal Priest; F. A. Campbell 32. Grand Treasurer; E. A. Hopper 32. Grand Secretary; Chas. Morrison 32. Grand Principal Sojourner; S. B. Jones 32. Grand Master of the First Vell; Henry Ragland 32. Grand Master of the Second Vell; A. Hodges, Grand Master of the Third Vell; D. L. Nance, Grand Sentinel. The colored people in Chicago are ungrateful and unappreciable to their leading colored men, for the splendid work that they have done for the benefit and advancement and in the defense of their race of people in the many years past, and what they are doing now to promote and defend the rights and interests of their race of people. Edward H. Morris when a member of the legislature, placed a civil right's law on the statute books of Illinois giving to the colored people THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON of the state of Illinois all the same rights and privileges in all hotels, railroads, and all public places of amusement, the same that is now enjoyed by the white people in this state. John G. Jones when a member of the legislature of Illinois got a law passed that stopped the insurance companies and public state institutions from discriminating against the colored people, and giving the colored people in the state of Illinois the same rights and privileges that are enjoyed by the white ones. He also had a law enacted creating the Eighth regiment of colored men and making them members of the Illinois state militia. This Eighth regiment of colored soldiers is the only colored regiment in the United States that is made up completely of colored men and officered by colored men from top to bottom. Edward D. Green, when a member of the legislature passed a mob law against lynching in this state. Theodore W. Jones when a county commissioner of this city had three colored doctors appointed on the medical board of Cook county, besides having 47 colored men and women appointed to prominent positions in this city and county. Mr. D. R. Wilkins, the editor of the Chicago Conservator, Mr. Julius F. Taylor, editor of the Broad Ax have spent their time and money, time after time, in the defense of the rights of the colored people of Chicago. Yet with all these things, the colored people of this city are so lost to a sense of gratitude and so unappreciative that they never have yet shown their appreciation of the laudable work of these prominent and influential men by as much as expressing their thanks towards them for what they have done New Denatured Alcohol Bill. New York, Jan. 25. — When scientists read yesterday the cabled report of Sir William Crooks' method of extracting nitric acid from the atmosphere, they said there was no longer any fear of a scarcity of food from overpopulation, because the result of the discovery would be a doubling of the world's crops. Nitrate of soda, used for fertilizing the soil, has grown so scarce it is said that it will soon be exhausted.

A New York firm has practically formed a "corner" in water from the River Jordan. Large quantities of the water are shipped to America for use at baptisms and revivals, and a Kentucky colonel named Clifford E. Nand and (marked with a cross), has been sent there to superintend the shipment. On his left stands the Governor of Jericho. The project was formed and carried out by Colonel C. E. Nand of Kentucky, who had a great many obstacles to overcome. He had to convey the water seventy miles to the seacoast across the mountains of Judea. Casks were not to be had, and had to VETERAN TICKET PUNCHER. Conductor Who Believes He Holds the World's Record. The World's Record. Because he has seen 58 years of continuous service with one railroad company, during 50 of which he has been a passenger conductor, Albert Roath of Worcester, Mass, believes he holds 100 TIMES AROUND THE EARTH CONDUCTOR ALBERT ROATH a world's record. Though over 78 years old Roath is a marvel of sprightness and goes about his daily duty with the same enthusiasm as he did when he was first promoted to his present position. During that time he has traveled over 2,500,000 miles, or upwards of 100 times around the world, measuring at the equator. The number of passengers whom he has piloted over the road must be well over the million mark. The veteran conductor served for eight years as a switchman, brakeman and baggageman, and the remaining half century as a passenger conductor. Remarkable Heard of Myopic Milk- ers Owned in Arkugas. If one were inclined to make a pun he would say that the cattle owned by George Hepro and kept by him on his farm near here are "spectacles." It would be true of them in one sense of the word, and to a certain extent, in both senses, says a Big Sandy (Ark.) dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. About twelve years ago Mr. Hepro was the owner of a prize cow named Arrydlee, the best inch cow in this part of the country—so excellent an animal that he was offered $1,100 for her by the state agricultural college. He would not sell her, even at this high price, but not so long after he had refused the offer he was sorry that he had not done so, for the animal became troubled with a bad case of short sightedness and feeble vision. She could not see things well, even when they were within two inches of her nose, and nearly starved to death in the pasture before it was discovered that she could not see the grass well enough to eat it. Mr. Hepro's son, Montmorencle, is an oculist in Little Rock, and, happening to be home on a visit at the time the cow's difficulty was realized, he suggested that he could make a pair of spectacles for her that would enable her to see as well as ever. He was given the commission, with a promise of $100 if they worked, and in a very short time he had fitted the high-priced bossy out with an excellent pair of bifocals that enabled her to graze and eat as well as ever with her head down and to see distant objects as clearly and distinctly as in the palmy days when her head was lifted. She became as valuable as ever, and the college renewed its offer, which was again refused by the farmer. It soon developed, however, that the peculiarity of shortsightedness and feeble vision was hereditary in her descendants to the second and third generations, and inasmuch as her remarkable milking qualities were hereditary also. Mr. Hepro could not think of changing the herd. He held it to it, and, while adding to his bank account by means of the astonishing flow of milk that characterized all of the Arrydice strain, he con- be made of wood brought from Asia Minor. Before the water was put into them they were thoroughly washed and disinfected, and the water was bolled and filtered. The persons in the photograph are, in the center, Colonel Nadad; on his left, the long white-bearded figure is Father Maximos, of St. John's Convent, near the Jordan, representing the Patriarch of Jerusalem; to the Colonel's right stands All Riza, Governor of Jericho and the Jordan; and to his left, Mr. Gelat, interpreter of the American Consulate of Jerusalem. The mounted men are Turkish cavalry soldiers, sent to protect the party. tainted to remedy their inherent visual defects by the use of the same kind of glasses that the noted ancestress of the herd always wore. These aids to the vision had to be placed on the calves at an early age and changed, both as to size and degree of refractive power, as the animals grew older, which latter change has also to be made occasionally even after the animals have reached maturity. He now has a herd of 23 of the wonderful myopic milkers, and it is a strange sight to see them roaming over his extensive pastures, all fitted out with large, strong, shining and expensive bifocal glasses—old cows, calves and all—as solemn and serious looking in appearance as an assemblage of Boston schoolmarms. Mr. Hepro claims that the wearing of the glasses has a sobering effect on the animals, which is perfectly apparent even in the young ones, and that they never frisk about and play as other calves do. The cattle are very fond of wearing the glasses and are very careful, scarcely ever breaking them. HINSHAW BACK TO PRISON. Parole of Indiana's Most Noted Life- Tanner Is. Bexkoked Rev. Wm. E. Hinshaw, most noted "life man" in Indiana, has been returned to the penitentiary in Michigan City to remain there the balance of his life. Governor Hanly revoked his parol because Hinshaw had broken up the home of George Freeman. "Sorry as I feel for you personally," said Governor Hanly to the prisoner, "I am convinced that prison is the best place for you." By Hinshaw's conduct on the witness stand, Governor Hanly was more convinced than ever that he murdered his wife and that he had no conception AM. J. PECKETTER OCT. 7. HINGHAM I'M PRESIDENT ACROLLER APPROVED of the wrong he committed against Freeman. Officials fear that Hinshaw will attempt to take his life. It is claimed he begged poison from other prisoners. Reflections of a Bachelor. It is almost better to be married than never to have been engaged. If a girl has the toothache she'll try to account for it in some romantic way. A nice thing about being conceited is the more people think you are a fool the more you think they don't. There is nothing that makes a really good woman so triumphantly virtuous as to go out to dinner and have something wrong with her hostess' cooking. —New York Press. "Gentlemen," shouted the defeated candidate, "I may have lost this time, but I have a white conscience." "Then you should be glad," piped a tough citizen in the first row. "Glad of what?" "That you have a liver to match your conscience."—Chicago News. No Cause for Alarm. Young Doctor—Do you think the visitor is really a patient? I am afraid that he is a creditor.

COLFAX, WASHINGTON FARMS AND FARMERS It is useless to attempt to kee ter squashes that have been inju frost. Those that are uninjur best kept on shelves in layers in "For a budding knife take a common case knife—a broken one will do—cut blade off square about one inch from haft, sharpen this end not very thin, but sharp. Keep the normal edge as keen as possible. Now, to use it. Set the end edge squarely across the branch, or seedling, where you wish to set your bud, and with gentle pressure cut through the bark to the wood. Next, set the same edge vertically just below where you have made the cross incision and cut through the bark as before, and before withdrawing the knife give it a slight twist, which will throw the bark open for the reception of the bud. The bud is cut from the sclon of the variety desired by starting the knife in the sclon about one fourth of an inch below the bud, and cutting upward to the same distance above, taking off the bud with a shield shaped piece of bark and a small shaving of the wood of the sclon. Insert this in the incision already made in the stock and tie the bark to the stock down over it firmly, but not too tightly. For tying, anything nearly will do. I have used corn husks when other material was not handy." Making a Brooder at Home. Here are the plans for a brooder that can be easily made by anyone: Make a box 4 feet 4 inches by 3 feet 8 inches and 2 feet high, using 2x2-inch pieces for corner posts, and matched boards for siding. Inside nail strips around 11 inches from bottom to support the floor, which should be made of matched lumber and left so it could be taken out and cleaned. Make door in end level with floor, also glass in upper half of each side for light. Top made to slant both ways and about half of each side hinged on so as to make feeding and cleaning easy. Place large piece of sheet iron on underside of floor with half-inch strips between floor and iron. Cut door in lower part of end; place good metal bowl lamp under sheet iron; bore several holes in floor over lamp, putting tin can punched full of holes over this to keep out dirt. Place thermometer on inside and you will have a brooder which will give the best of satisfaction. Egg Pointers. Stale eggs are glassy and smooth of shell. A fresh egg has a limellike surface to its shell. The boiled eggs which adhere to the shell are fresh laid. Eggs packed in bran for a long time smell and taste musty. Thin shells are caused by a lack of gravel and lime among the hens laying eggs. After an egg has been laid a day or more the shell comes off easily when boiled. A boiled egg which is done will dry quickly on the shell when taken from the kettle. Eggs which have been packed in lime look stained and show the action of the lime on the surface. If an egg is clean and golden in appearance when held to the light it is good; if dark or spotted, it is bad. New Meat Law Working Well. In addressing the convention of the New York State Breeders' Association upon the new meat inspection law and its bearing upon the production and handling of meats. George P. McCabe, solicitor of the department of agriculture at Washington, said the law appeared to be working well and was serving as a guarantee of the healthfulness, purity and wholesomeness of our live stock and meats in the markets of the world. He declared that, to secure the best results, breeders of every state should take up vigorously the question of the extension of markets and should back the department of agriculture in an insistent demand for an absolute efficient, vigilant, fair and square meat inspection. Homemade Saw Horse. The illustration shows the best contrivance for holding slabs or other HANDY SAW HORSE refuse wood while sawing it for kindling or fuel. Sure Way With Boll Weevil. The best way to circumvent the boll weevil is to raise more corn and hogs, more alfalfa and mule colts, more hay and calves, more oats and chickens, more wheat and turkeys, and build more factories. With full crops of all these things, the boll weevil would have little terror for Texas.—Bonham (Tex.) News. Farm Notes. Farmers who make money by skinning the farm are like companies who pay dividends by watering their stock. The all around food for milk cows is grass. Therefore look well to the pastures and see that their quality is improved. It is useless to attempt to keep winter squashes that have been injured by frost. Those that are uninjured are best kept on shelves in layers in a location where the temperature does not fall below 40 degrees. Be careful that they are not kept too warm. Dried Beet and Molasses Pulp. Brief notes are given on the production of two feeding stuffs and feeding experiments with cows are reported by the Wisconsin station. The ration used for comparison consisted of five pounds of hay, thirty-five to forty pounds of silage, and about eight pounds of a grain mixture consisting of wheat bran, distillers' grains, and cottonseed meal in the proportion of 2:2:1. Dried-beet pulp or molasses beet pulp was substituted for the wheat bran in the ratio of 3:2 by weight. Two tests were made, the first including fifteen cows and the second six. When wheat bran was replaced by dried-beet pulp in the proportion indicated there was no appreciable difference in the effect of the two rations. Molasses-beet pulp substituted in the same manner produced, however, about 12 per cent more milk and 8 per cent more butter fat. Beet pulp showed a tendency to decrease the fat content of the milk. The results, therefore, indicate that when wheat bran is valued at $18 a ton, dried-beet pulp is not worth over $12 and molasses-beet pulp over $13 a ton. Anchoring Fence Posts. Here is a handy way of anchoring fence posts in draws or low places. Instead of hanging a stone to the post, ANCHORING POSTS IN DRAWS. take a double wire and use it in the form of a truss, as indicated in cut. The plan is so simple that little description is necessary. If the cut is very deep, one can use a longer post, or splike a 2x4 onto the post, and so put the truss wire yet higher, and hence that much more effective. Why Young Trees Are Best. These are the advantages of planting young trees: They can be trained to the desired form better than older trees, says Farming. A 2 or 3-year-old tree is branched and has had its head already formed by the nurseryman; a yearling tree of the apple, pear and sweet cherry, is usually unbranched. Sometimes the nurseryman has headed the tree too high or has not been careful enough about starting out the scaffold limbs, and it is difficult to correct the form of the head after it has been started. There is an unmistakable preference for low-headed trees, due chiefly to the need of economy and efficiency in spraying and harvesting. The single disadvantage of low-heading is greater inconvenience in tillage. This is much more than offset by the advantages, in the judgment of most growers. Within ten years the height recommended for heading apple trees in the East has been reduced at least two feet. The bearing of this on the matter of yearling trees is that the grower can head a yearling tree where he pleases. Cowpeas for Hogs. Those living where they can successfully grow the cowpea should utilize this valuable crop as a cheap ration for pigs. The pea is rich in protein and furnishes the needed growth, and does away with the necessity of millstuff. Drill three or four pecks of seed per acre the latter part of May or the first part of June, and give the needed cultivation till the vines cover the ground enough to check weed growth. Turn the pigs into the field when the pods begin to ripen, and they will do the harvesting. If the old hogs are pastured on peas, they need corn or some other carbonaceous feed to give proper balance, for they cannot utilize so much protein as pigs. Try a patch of cowpea pasture this year, and get your hogs in fine shape for 'the corn when it comes. Hard Mounted Horses. Hard Mouthed Horses. Here is something of practical value to anyone driving a horse that pulls on the bit: Fasten a small ring to each side of the bridle and as near the brow band as possible. Pass the lines through the bit rings and snap them into the rings at the brow band. This, with a common jointed bit, will enable a child to hold a puller or hard mouthed horse with ease under almost all circumstances. It can be used on a fast horse in double team or on both, as desired. It is cheap and easily applied, and it won't make the mouth sore. It is better than any patent bit. —Farm Press.

The subject bears a close resemblance to that as to the exhaustion of the British coal beds. It will scarcely become acute in our time; but nonetheless scientific observations of the movement of the glaciers during 1905 shows, as similar observations in previous years have shown, a shrinkage in the surface. Some of the glaciers have shrunk as much as 290 yards since 1900. In no instance has growth been reported. The city of Vienna has undertaken the installation of what is perhaps the most remarkable electric, or electrically lighted, fountain in existence. It is situated in the Schwartzenbergplatz. Underneath the fountain, in a huge cemented chamber, are placed twenty-seven reflecting lamps, capable of producing seventy different luminous and colored effects. The light is transmitted through the waters of the fountain. The light power of the plant is estimated as equal to 900,000,000 candles. According to the results of recent experiments the flame of acetylene is perhaps the hottest known except that of the electric arc. The following figures have been given by Mr. Maffi: Bunsen burner, 1,871 degrees; acetylene flame, 2,548 degrees; alcohol flame, 1,705 degrees; Denayrouze burner—half alcohol, half petroleum—2,053 degrees; hydrogen flame, in air, 1,900 degrees; gasjet flame, with oxygen, 2,200 degrees; oxygen flame, 2,420 degrees. These are all Centigrade degrees. One degree Centigrade equals one degree and eight-tenths Fahrenheit. The lowest temperature yet recorded, says a medical journal, is that reached recently by K. Olszewski in an attempt to liquify helium. By the aid of solid hydrogen he cooled the gas to minus 259 degrees S. Under 180 atmospheres' pressure; then, suddenly releasing the pressure to that of the atmosphere, a degree of cold was created, which, by calculation from Laplace and Bolson's formula, amounted to minus 271.3 degrees C. Helium, however, did not liquify, and he accordingly assumes that its boiling point must be below minus 271, and that there is but little prospect of reducing it to a liquid. A French scientific writer points out that a mere gain in weight should not in itself be taken as an indication of improved bodily condition. It is, according to him, rather a question of the density than the quantity of tissue which covers the bones. When increased weight results from increased density, then the health is really improved. In order that this principle may be practically applied, he suggests the use of baths containing a known quantity of water and supplied with appliances for measurement whereby the density of the immersed body may be calculated, in the manner in which Archimedes ascertained the density of King Hiero's crown of adulterated gold. So rapidly has the utilization of water power for generating electricity advanced that already a tendency may be seen to classify rivers and streams according to their peculiar qualifications as furnishers of raw power. For instance, a French engineer has pointed out that the glacial streams of France and Italy, which have been so largely availed of for electric purposes, are not well suited to supply power for lighting stations, because their flow is at a maximum in summer, when the mountain snows are melting, whereas the greatest demand for light is in winter. On the other hand, the slower navigable rivers of France are better adapted to furnish light, since their flow reaches a maximum in the winter season. Unworthy. It was the sweet scent of the lilies in the conservatory, or the beauty of the young girl's hair, that led to his proposing to the debutante in white, as they rested in the shadow beneath a palm. "It cannot be," she said. "I am unworthy of you." "Oh, rubbish," said he. "It is true; it is true." And she sighed. "You are an angel," he said, ardently. "No, no; you are wrong." said the young girl. "I am vain, idle, silly, utterly unfit to be your helpmeet through life." He laughed lightly, then said, in a soothing voice: "Why, this is sheer madness. What sort of a wife do you think I ought to have?" "A very wise, delibere, practical woman," she replied; "one able to live on your small salary."—Tibbits. Sponge Farms in Mediterranean. Several sponge farms, all of which are paying concerns, are to be found in the Mediterranean. Until recently sponges have been simply collected from the sea floor, where they have flourished in a wild state, but of late years they have, like oysters, been cultivated.

"The man admitted that plagiarism was suspected of him," said Mr. Bangs smiling. "He almost admitted it was proved. He reminded me of a Yonkers boy I used to know. "This boy said to his chum one morning: "I hid under the parlor sofa last night to hear what young Softleigh would say to my sister." "Well, what did he say? the other boy asked. "He only talked religion and politics, and he kicked me about thirty times on the head." "He knew you were there, I guess,' said the second boy. "I'm afraid he suspected it." Delicacy of Frenchmen Undoubtedly Frenchmen have the most delicate way of expressing themselves," said a New York young woman to a group of friends at tea. "I have just had the oldest little encounter with a man who looked as if he had just arrived here, his clothes were so unmistakably Parisian. I was walking in Broadway when I saw him coming. To my surprise, as he was a stranger to me, he stopped, put his heels together and, taking off his hat, made a low bow. 'Pardon, mademoiselle,' said he, 'your beneath skirt descends.' Making again the same elaborate bow, he passed on. I looked down and saw that my silk petticoat was showing just a little below the outside skirt. Had an American man noticed it, he would have felt embarrassment about mentioning it; or, if he had the courage, he never would have been able to think of such a delicate way of making that bit of a misfit known to me." —New York Press.

Patient Snake One does not often attribute the virtue of patience to a snake. "Letters from a Surgeon," however, contains an anecdote in which its existence is evident. Doctor Perry, surgeon of the Twenteth Massachusetts, wakened in camp one morning to find himself tightly held in the clutch of Doctor Hayward, his senior officer. "Don't move, John, till I say three!" ordered the senior, sharply. "Then seize my hands and spring to your feet. One, two, three." At the word Doctor Perry jumped, and never made a cleaner leap. He was just in time to see a moccasin dive under the coat which he had been using for a pillow. Armed with sticks, they dragged the coat away, but saw only the hole into which the snake had glided. The surgeon had accidentally blocked the entrance to the reptile's abode, and it had lain all coiled under the back of his neck, waiting patiently for him to move so it could enter.

The largest amount ever offered as a prize for a literary contribution is 1,500,000 rubles, which is still open for competition and will be awarded at St. Petersburg on Dec. 1, 1925, to the writer of the best history of Alexander L. of Russia. Araktcheief, founder of the military colonies of Novgorod, left a fortune of 50,000 gold rubles to provile for tails unique prize. The prize giving day is the centenary of the year Alexander's death, by which time the money will, it is estimated, have increased to 2,000,000 rubles. One-fourth of it will be used to defray the cost of publishing the work which wins the prize. OLD SORES FED AND KEPT OPEN Whenever a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is not pure and healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed middle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated. Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore. The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one. Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore can Then the sore begins to heal, new flesh is formed, all pain and inflammation leaves, the place scabs over, and when S. S.

Barber Ages Ago The first barbers of whom there is any record pilied their trade in Greece in the fifth century B. C. In Rome the first barbers operated in the third century B. C. In olden times in England the barber and the physician were identical. Thus, a king's barber was also his chief medical adviser. In the time of Henry VIII. of England, laws were made concerning barbers, of which the following is an extract: "No person occupying a shaving or barbery in London shall use any surgery, letting of blood or other matter, except the drawing of teeth."

A long stretch of road was first watered and then sprinkled with salt. The next day the surface of the road was covered with a thin glazed crust.
