Tacoma Land Company Employs Dies
RaVinE With Oelirium Tromens.

Ravinx with Delirium Trsmens.
James NJ. Davis. an employe of the Ia
coma Land Company, died on Saturday
evening at the quarters of the Bedal Gold
Cure Company, at Kent, of deiirium ire
mems, caused by . spree begun during the
Tacoma water bond election.
On Wednesday evening. as the manager
of the Bedal gold cure returned from, sup
per. he found . middle aged, strongly
built man occupying q chair and aw aiting
his coming. A glance showed that the
man had been on a terrible spree, and
that he had received rough treat
ment. He was extremely nervous
and apparently nearly crazed. He was
able to give some account of himself, how
ever, and stated that he had come for
treatment. His name was James NJ.
employee Of the Tacoma Land Company as
land locator. He admitted that his pres
ent spree dated from q few days before the
bond election of last Tuesday at Tacoma.
The man was cared for during the slespless
night that followed his arrival. On
Wednesday morning tho manager of the
institute received the following letter:
II Mr. James NJ. Davis comes to your fnsti.
tuto 10 take the cure Will % OOll&eQ II you
will give him accommodations and what treat.
ment he needs and send bill to me- Yours
truly. ISAAC ANDERSON.
Mr.. Anderson 10 the general manager of
the Tacoma Land Company. of which C.
B. Wright is president.
Davis has been cared for at the institute
since that time until Saturday night at
about IL O'Clock, when he died Of delirlum
tremens, which developed soon after his
arrival and from which he suffered all
the torments attendant upon the malady
in its most aggravated form. At times
four or five men were required to restrain
him in his rawlings.
Davis WAS about 20 years Of age. . native
Of Maine, but came to the Coast from
Minnesota He had been q hard drinker
from boy hood. Some two years ago, it is
said. he was divorced from his wife, who
has possession of their only child, boy 8
years of age. Davis was well known in
this part of the country, and especially At
Tacoma and Everett
President Welsh teiegraphed Mr.. An
derson regarding the death of Davis, and
received word to send the remains to Ia
coma. A little later Undertaken Hoska
wired that he would be at Kent last even
ing to take charge Of the body.
DIR. Thompson, . resident physician at
Kent, who was called to attend the man
the day after his arrival. says death was
entirely the result Of alcoholism.

them for the markets about three years
ago. and he has demonstrated that it will
be paying one. He predicts that il will
be but few years when many thousand
acres of land in Walla Walls county will
be used for raising alfalfa and corn, which
will be fed to beef cattle.
Mr.. Clark says that after three years.
experience he is convinced that stall feed.
ing cattle in this valley will in the future
be prominent industry. This belief IL
founded on experience, and when the 125
fat steers he takes to Chicago are exhibi-
ted. if others do not agree with him he il
willing to admit himself convicted Of fool
ishness. Last October Mr.. Clark bought
125 head of 2-year-old steers in Grande
Ronde valley. drove them to Walla Walla
and ON the 18th day of November put
them in feeding barn. They will now
weigh an average of I. 800 pounds each, an
increase of 300 pounds in weight by 100
days feeding. This increase in weight is
largely profit, ~ the cattle bought are at
range and not at beef prices. and the diff.
ference in the price will pay the expense
of feeding.
During the feeding season these steers
were kept in well-ighted and ventilated
stable that is kept carefully cleaned, and
the animals themselves curried like q
horse. They are fastened with chain to
their managers, and . stream of pure spring
water runs directly at their heads. They
are fed twice . day, the fodder be-
ing q mixture Of one ton Of corn,
$50 pounds each of wheat, barley and bran,
chopped and mixed. afterward being
cooked BY steam for two hours. This
mixture lasts one day, and 10 the result of
good deal Of experimenting. 1t seems to
produce the best possible results, and will
add two and one-half to three pounds
weight to an animal daily. This is his
first year of using corn. heretofore alfalfa
having been substituted with very good
results. To give an idea of the result, Mr..
Clark fed the alfalfa raised on his place, it
resulting in his getting for the croD of hay

barn 225x65 feet, divided into two sets of
stalls with tramway track between. The
feed is brought in on q car and shoveled
into the feed boxes. Above the feed boxes
is trough through which the clean stream
of water is run. The food il prepared by
cooking with steam in big barrel holding
two tons.
Mr.. Clark raised last year about sixty
acres of corn, which averaged well, and
he will plant great deal more this
season. He also fattened 200 hogs with
steam feed. and il now fattenins ninety
more on the stable cleaning. He has two
men employed steadily taking care and
feeding the cattle and hogs.
Mr.. Perry's cattle were fed on . steamed
mixture Of chopped alfalfa, wheat and
bran. but were not kept stabbed.
