A NEW PROPOSITION
Canada Submits a Project For Final
and Permanent Settlement Of
Alaskan Dispute.
Demands Are Very Different From
Those Formerly Made Many
Concessions Made.
Asks For Arbitration, But stipu.
lates a Seaport as a Condi-
tion Precedent.

London, Oct 24-The Associated
Ffess is enabled TO give authoritatively
Sanada's final proposition for a perma-
nent settlement of the Alaskan dispute.
1t is very different from the former de-
inantis. 1t is as follows: That the boun-
dary line be arbitrated upon terms SIM
ilar to those imposed by the United
States and Great Britain over Vene1ue-
Ia. particularly the provisions making
htty years occupancy by either side
conclusive evidence of title, occupancy
of less than that period to be taken as
equity allows under International law.
That as condition precedent to and
absolutely preliminary to arbitration,
skaguay and Dyea be conceded to the
United States without further claim, if
Canada receives Pyramid harbor. In
other words. Canada gives up much of
the disputed gold country in return for
a seaport but stipulates that she must
get the latter before she agrees to ar
bitrate the boundary line.
The Associated Press is reliably in
formed that canada's new position was
greatly Influenced by imperial pressure.
1t can be stated positively that Cham
beilain advised the concession as much
as possible in order to gain port of
entry free from United States control,
with the professed reason of CONNER
cial advantages. but, ii is said the ul-
terror motive is TO increase the British
naval strength by making Pyramid
Harbor g strongly fortified naval sta
tion.

Tired OF His Own.

One OF the most rsbid Republican
papers in the state has the following
to say of trusts. FIR years he snd
his party have fostered these cubs
which have now become fully grown
vicious giant lions, and our brothe,
Is now afraid of and tired Of his own:
THE barb wire trust closed down
the wire mills of Lawrence and threw
about 200 men out of employment.
and now the llnseed oil trust has
permantly closed the oil mills al
Leavenworth, which used to employ
about 20 men. To plead that the
trusts in many instances cheaper the
prices of products and commodities
Is small consolation to communities
that are deprived of the work of 80
many men and the money they rep
resented on the pay rolls. The trusts
like the devil is said to do sometimes,
are going to overleap themselves one
of these days"

The Cursed Trusts.

Trusts, Trusts everywhere. Trusts
that control and boost the price of
sugar, nails everything. Just re-
cenly plow trust was formed that has
for its specific object the holding up
of the farmers. The Standard Oil
Trust paid last year in dividends 294
per cent, on a heavily watered stock
and no one knows how much was left
as undivided profits and how much
paid in enormous salaries of officers
and lawyers. The Attorney General
of Ohio says the Standard Oil com
pany offered him s4O0 600 to dismiss
a prosecution against that company
under the anti trust law of Ohio. Just
think of such vast slush funds, to-
gether with the salaries of officers and
lawyers and then pay dividend OF
29396 in a single year all to come
out of the poor man who lights his
little home with a coil oil lamp. Then
there was the Book trust that extorted
thousands of dollars every year from
the people Of Kansas alone but thanks
to Populist legislature its head was
forever severed from its contemplate
carcass. These big trusts are organ
lied in the east in violation Of q nat
ional anti trust law which Is permitted
to lie dormant by President McKinley's
Attorney General. In fact the trusts
are fostered and built up by the in
famous policy of the Republican party
just rs was fortold by Populist and
Democratic speakers all over the coun-
try. When Senator Hanna collected
his millions of campaign funds from
the aggregations of capital could any
sane man belieye for a minute they
would not be given special privileges
in returni With these facts standin 3
cut so plain 1t seems almost strange
as dream that thousand upon thous-
ands of honest, Intelligent workmen,
laborers and farmers are shouting
themselves hoarse for q continuation
of such vampire control of our gov.
srment. 1t is enough to make ones
blood run cold to see such open sub
serviency to partisan rule. It Is for

CANKER-WORM TRAPS.

Last spring the Department of
Entomology at the Kansas State Agri.
cultural College fastened to number
of trees Pratts' Canker-worm traps in
place of the ordinary carpet paper
bands. These traps are nothing more
than a narrow width of the common
wire screening with Sits along one side
so that the screening can be fastened
to the trees with fange at the lower
side. By using carpet tacks of good
size, the traps can be made very firm
and tight so that there are no passage
ways collar, thru which the female
moths can continue their ascent up
the tree. Last year the orchards in
which the traps were placed were not
infested to any extent by the canker-
worms, SO that we were not able to
give the traps a good test. They
caught quite number of the moths,
but did not prevent them from de-
posting eggs either on or just above
the screening. The NEST of the wire
screening does not prevent the young
worms from going thru. The traps
are quite durable; those put on last
year in but few instances needed at
tention this spring; tack here and
there was all that was necessary
to put the traps in good condi-
ton. They will probably last fol-
three seasons. Where these traps
of wire screenings are used it is neces-
sary to visit the traps quite often to
collect and kill the female moths, and
to spray once or twice with kerosene
emulsion the region about and under
the traps to kill the young worms. and
the eggs deposited by the entrapped
females. The time for spraying must
be determined by the fruit grower
himself.

ports excellent results. If the yield
OF the Kansas corn crop could be in
creased ten bushels per acre it would
mean several million dollars ADDED to
the value of the crop, and obtained
by only very little increase of labor
expended. About fifteen farmers in
the vicinity of Manhattan have agreed
to cooperate with the Kansas Expert
ment Station in testing the methods
this year, but why should not five
hundred or thousand farmers all
over Kansas join in the work? twill
require very little labor. Any farmer
can find different variety from his
own by going three miles or less, away
from his home and the work of pull
ing out the tassels will be little more
than the work necessary to cut the
weeds out Of the same mum mber of rows
Farmers, give this matter your Care
full attention, and then plan to ia ke
up the work. The memb bers of the
station council will gladly correspond
with you in regard to any further in
formation you may need.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
From State Agricultural Col.
lege.
DIGGING, PRUNING, AND TRANspLANTING
YOUNG TREES

DIGGING, PRUNING, AND TRANsPLANTING
YOUNG TREES.
A large proportion of the trees that
are lost in resetting die because they
have been injured when they wele
taken up. Without a good root or
stem tree can make hut little pro
gress IN growth. In digging up trees
the surface soil should be removed to
the root system, then a trench dug
around the tree outside the mass OF
roots; then by cutting under the roots
with sharp spade on each side, the
tree may be loosened from the soil
with good supply of young growing
roots. If the tree is large, tie trench
must be made around the roots to the
depth of the lowest, and the roots
gradually loosened and freed from
the SOIL
No matter how carefully tree is
dug, many of the young feeding roots
will be injured or destroyed. Thus
only a small amount of sap can b.
supplied to the branches and buds,
which nevertheless continue to evapcr-
ate large amount of water; thus
the tree often starts very slowly and
sometimes fail entirely. By removing
the branches and buds in proportion
to the injury of the roots, a balance is
maintained. All injured roots should
be cut off clean with a knife and the
wounds of large roots should be paint
ed over with some water proof cover
ing.
When trees are planted the roots
should have fine mellow bed of soil,
which should be pressed firmly in con-
tact with every fiber, leaving no air
space around them, and all should be
spread out in natural position. The
soil should be pressed very firmly
around all the roots, so the new roots
will be encouraged to make a rapid
growth. If the soil in which tie tree
Is planted is the same as the one from
which it was taken, the tree should be
set the same dept as it vas before il
was removed. If the soil is heavier the
tree should be shallower; if lighter, il
should be placed deeper. The sur
face of the soil which is over the roots
should be fine and light because the
capilarity is then broken up and the
moistute cannot escape.

few days afterward he pocepted q
nomination at meeting of citizens
held at the court house, but was bad
ly defeated at the polls. He was
somewhat severely censured by White
in his paper. In last nights issue
after the election, in an editorial, Mr..
White said: 'The defeat of l.. Severy
is a public rebuke to a man who will
let his ambition override his ideas of
personal honor. The defeat is sting.

Editor White. describing the fracas
says:
,Severy struck me on the back of
the head, under the ear, with a wal
nut club, rendering me unconscious;
later he struck me as I lay prostrat-
ed. He is 20 years old and lame.
When 1 regained consciousness Sew

me. but I told him in the presence OF
a large crowd that he was too old for

ANYONE rejecting upon this ques-

reaching the conclusion that what.

can be saved to the public by build

itself. That is if a corporation Sc
