The amount OF bone or phosphate IL .,
applied TO wheat will depend on the con

rondition, $50 to $50 pounds to the acre
will give good results. If the land i only
fair, use $50 to 300 pounds to the acre
and if the land is so poor and exhausted
that you fear young grass will moi make Il
GOOD catch, then apply 300 to 400 pounds t.

The marriage of Mr.. Walter
Langdon Kane and Miss Mary
R. Hunter took place at Trinity
Church, in Newport, on the 7th

in society, the wedding may be
said to have been the social SEN
sation of the day. She is said to
be the handsomestl bride that
ever walked up the aisle to the
altar in old Trinity, and Rhode

of the oldest and most respected
families in the state. With all

The disposition of the legacy

the eccentric millionaire of
Hoboken, to the United States
government to be used in paying

involve a protracted litigation in

that he had no relatives, but now
a lady, claiming to have been his
wife, and a young boy, alleged to
be his son, have entered a claim
for the inheritance, consisting of

ATerritorial Prison.

- 6tISOus
Probably no State or Territory
in the Union can boast of a more
conspicuously lax system of,
providing for the care of its prir
oners than Washington TER
ry. Every county Jail il
Territory is also a penitentiary,
authorized to receive prisoners
convicted of State offenses, with
the privilege of charging at the
rate of eighty-fve cents per diem
for their keeping; while the
Territory itself derives no benefit
whatever from the labor which
they would otherwise be COM
PEELED to perform. Moreover,
under the present system some
of the most desperate criminals
are frequently confined in poorly
constructed and insecurely-
guarded jails in some of the
counties, from which an escape
is merely matter of a few
hours-notably in the case of
Kitsap county from which several
prisoners broke out a short time
since. In this instance they
might have carried off the Jail
itself without hindrance.
With a very commendable de
sire to improve the present or
der Of things, Sheriff Billings,
of Thurston county, has made
proposition to the Legislature
Offering to keep the prisoners for
the next six years, and proposes
to erect suitable prison, where
tie criminals will be furnished
employment. Atthe expiration
of the six years, if desired, he
will dispose of the institution to
the Territory at a price pre-
viously agreed upon. 1t IS con-
tended that the prison could be
run with but slight cost, and
would be virtually self-support-
ing. The consideration demand
ed is seventy-five cents per day
for each and every prisoner
which would amount to quite a
respectable sum at the end of
each year. 1t is stated that by
adopting the plan proposed the
sum of $4,000 would be saved
to the Territory annually.
The plan submitted is a very
excellent one, no doubt, but
whether 1t would be more ad-
visabIe for the territory to ac-
cept the offer of Mr.. Billings than
to construct the prison them
selves, is a matter for discus
sion. 1t seems to us, however,
that the latter plan would be
the most satisfactory. Theprof-
its realized from the labor of the
convicts when once the institu-
ton was in a successful running
condition, would in short time
more than compensate for the
outlay of money necessary in the
construction and fitting up of
the building. Furthermore, it
would be far more desirable to
have the direct control and man.
agement of an institution of this
kind in the hands of Territorial
officers, than to farm it out to pri-
vate individuals who oftentimes
prove utterly incompetent
and irresponsible. Aside from
the pecuniary benefit to the Ter
ritory of an institution of this
nature, we would have the satis-
faction Of knowing that in prov
iding criminals with suitable en-
ploymcnt and teaching them use
ful trades, we were putting them
in a position after their release,
to do the State some service in
more honorable ways.
