SOWING PASTURE IN FALL

Sowing pastures ii the fall is an Inn,

The Prairie Farmer has the following
to say about successful methods prac-!
ticed by many Of the leading grass grow
ers in his section of the country:
We pillow the ground close and deep
and harrow and roll 1t until 1t is thor.
oughly pulverized. We sow plenty Of
seed and harrow it in. Farmers, az 81

crop by sowing the grass seed alone.
We never follow this method. As L.
we'll known, the more rank growing
grain shades and saps the ground and
by go doing robs the young and tender
grass Of the essential plant food. It is
the same whether the seed sown is
timothy, clover or redtop.
In all states where hardpan is found
near the surface subsodl pillow will be
beneficial. Turn up the soil deep and 1t
will retain the moisture below that is
lost when only the surface is turned
under. Furnish food for the roots and
you will insure a good crop. Any one
who has worked In the soil Is we'll
aware that ground once looeened up
never returns to the solid condition It
was In before 1t was disturbed by the
pillow or spade. I know Of one field Of 40
acres that was SUBSIDIZED % years ago.
This was In the center of q field Of 400
acres and to this day you can see the
difference in any crop raised on that
land. As the land is all owned by one
man and receives the same care it goes
to prove that subsoiling is beneficial to
all land underlaid with hardpan soil.
The subsoil pillow should follow the
common breaking pillow, throwing Its
burrows out from the bottom of the
other furrow.
Deep blowing is just as essential in
preparing the ground for grasses as for
corn or any other crop. Too many farm
ers follow the plan Of sowing grass seed

Murder and Suicide.

TACOMA, June l5-At ten o'clock
this morning Jim Bartlett, recently
from Dyea. shot and killed Clarence
Emory, bar-kceper of the City of Seat
tie, and Lille Chandler, woman who
had lived with Bartlett at Dyea, and
then shot and killed himself.
The tragedy occurred in Chilberg's
restaurant where Emory and the
woman were taking breakfast. Jeal-
ousy is ascribed as the cause of the
murder The woman had left Bart
L. tt in Dyea some four weeks ago, but
Bartlett had followed her to Tacoma.
He appeared in the restaurant about
five minutes before the shooting, at
tracing attention by looking into the
private boxes. When asked what he
wanted he said he was looking for Il
couple, and few moments later found
the parties and promptly shot Emory,
hitting him in the right breast.
The woman shouted murder, called for
help, and succeeded in making her way
out of the box when Bartlett shot her
in the back, hitting her below the left
shoulder. The third shot went wild,
whereupon Bartlett turned the gun on
himself, shooting himself twice over
the heart.
All three were dead in few min

Rogers attended him for three weeks,
and they buried him where he died,
DIR. Rogers offering prayers over the
grave of the departed. The dead mans

Charleston, and they are taking out

Mr.. Everett offers $1,000 for any evil

five cent piece.
At the second Tahltan they met "a

At the first Tahltan they met more

the provincial police here, and are GO
ing to Vancouver on the first boat.
This proves that the police have no
complaints against them.
NOTES OF THE TRIP.
At Long Lake they sold some whip
sawed lumber at the rate of 5000 per
Thousand. One Graham sold his lum-
Der at $3.50 per thousand.
They advise parties of two to five to
go in light, and buy supplies at Dawson
or Selkirk. They say it takes too long
to put through an outfit-that it is
cheaper in the long run to buy. 1t
took them two months to get in with
their outfit, and onl. five days to come
out without it.
Their party will prospect the Pelly.
Mr.. Everett goes home on Il matter of
business, to return if the party strikes
anything Mr.. Bone has business to
attend to at home, and has the rhema-
tism besides. If this party strikes
anything he can come back. If not, he
is better off at ONE.
Mr.. Evcrett's feet are badly blistered
through wearing those ''siwash abomi-
nations moccasins. They say the
proper footwear is miners boots, with
heavy soles and light uppers.
In conclusion they say that the trail
is excellent: that they would not think
of going in any other way; that the
proper way is to send goods around by
way of St. Michaels at 10 cents per
pound and less to Dawson, and go in on
foot over the Teslin trail.

DAYLIGHT TaiI.Break.

Wednesday afternoon the two thieves
Barratt and Wilkes, who were confined
in the Government Jail, (?) for the
burglary of Kobersteins cigar factory
last week, effected an escape by tearing
out one of the windows on the north
side of the Jail. They made their way
to the water front near Col Crittenden's
residence and ran along the beach in
the direction of the new Davidge wharf.
Wilkes was recaptured and returned
to the Jail. and for fear that the struct-
ure would fall down and permit him
to again escape Marshal Grant has
secured him with good sized ball and
chain. Barrett is still. at large, but
will return as soon as he gets hungry,
as the Jail has been his home so long
he will not know how to make living
outside.

reimburse them for the work they
have done. At points on the Donnelly

two or three weeks. The season there
is not SO far advanced as it is here.

it is shelving, but it is all high and dry
Then there is twenty miles of fair trail,
then ten miles of magnificent trail to
the Nahlin. From the Nahlin to the
Hsaison's Bay post. ten miles, the trail
is magnificent and is the best part of
the road. From the H. B. p. it is good
for six miles, then rocky for awhile,
then you strike the wagon road.
They have nothing but good to say
of the wagon road-the best wagon
road they ever saw in a mountainous
country.
PEOPLE THEY MET.
They met about $50 people on the
road. They were all huruyipg on to
Teslin, pushing, pulling, crowding and
all happy and working hard. They
were taking in their outfits on wheel
barrows, on oxen, on horses, on their
backs, in baby carriages, with dogs
any old way. They were all making
gool Roadway and filling up bog holes
as tsey struck them and otherwise inn
proving the trail.
The first pack train in to Teslin was
one of eight horses. Next came the
pack train of Callbreath Il Wright and
the French Count, forty animals, then
one of twenty oxen. They passed full
ly 200 animals all told.
From 800 to 700 men have already
reached Teslin. and most of them are
out prospecting.
Messrs. Everett and Bone say it
would be impossible to get in with
wagons. Wheelbarrows are best. The
moss. sensible way to pack is on animals
TRANSPORTATION NOTES.
There are no engineering difficulties
to II encountered in building rail
road or wagon road to Teslin Lake, and
all who have made the trip are greatly
disguised with the government for not
continuing the work. Mr.. Everett
saws that he is not betting man, but
would wager $1,000 against 5000 that he
can make the trip to Tesin and re-
turn on foot inside of eight days.
The price of forty cents a pound is
exhorbitant for packing to Teslin. The
round trip can be made in a month. a
pack animal will carry 300 pounds.

Take forty animals and the returns
would be $500 month. For six trips
the returns would be $4,000. Feed in
plenty can be found along the route.
In places the feed has been destroyed

to the edge of the fire belt to find
