LEGISLATIVE ADVICE

Good Health.

Many comments have been heari
upon the good looks of the House III
general, as compared with former
years. Without meaning to cast any
reflection upon the past sessions of the
Legislature, it has been said on all
sides, that there never was a more in
telligent, prosperous and nice looking
set of men brought together in the
House and Senate to make laws than
the one at present assembled.
Up in the Augusta House. Wednes-
day afternoon. group of legislators
We're discussing the matter.
Mr.. Hopkins of Deering, called the
attention of District Attorney Isaac w.
Dyer Of Portland, to the suggestion
made by a newspaper man.
Though 1 am a member of the
present House, l believe l am justified
in saying this is as good a looking
crowd as l have seen. and I have
visited the State House on former
winters" remarked Mr.. Hopkins.
IAN that remains, then" said Mr..
Dyer, is for you to show that it is the
wisest body. Now you know l was a
member of the wisest body in late
years. 1t was the Legislature of 1885.
and it has the distinction of having
the smallest book with its records. of
any in recent years. Try and make
this session SO very short that the book
will be smaller still..:.
"A very safe thing to do" continued
Mr.. Dyer, SIS to vote against every
thing presented but your own salaries.
You can not raise your own salaries,
but you can those of the next Legis-
lature. Never think of that, though,
for you are liable not to come the next
time, you know

The excellence of the service at the

the entertainment of his Legislative
boarders was being discussed by 4
group in the office the other night,
when one Of the number told of the
manner in which an Arkansas landlord
managed to please his guests.
"A detective was formerly paid

lator There is always a feeling of
friendliness and conradeship between
guests of a hotel. and this detective
made it his business to become &C
quainted with all the visitors. They
thought he was a fellow guest. The de-
tective would lead the conversation to
the merits or dement's of the hotel,
and if man complained of the service
or HIS thS tpi'Pie'iihe
was promptly reported to the landlord.
For instance, if guest complained
that he liked to sleep in the morning,
and he could not do it because he had
room with an east exposure. so that
the sun came in and awakened him,
the detective reported it to the landlord
In a little while the landlord would
say to the guest:
II was thinking. this morning,
about you in that east room. do you
like to sleep late in the morning.
The guest would say that he did.
We'll the landlord would say l
was thinking that you did. and in that
case the sun must disturb you. l Will
give you better room on the north
side of the house.
THAT made the guest friend of the
house for life. A man never forgets

Not Wholly Fair.

Hon. Chas. Cline, the advocate of di-
rect legislation who addressed not very
large audience at the q. A. r. hall, last
Friday evening is an interesting speaker,
and in the main, fair; yet his argument
or statement that no question had ever
yet been settled by the ballot in this
country was not wholly fair, though ap.
parently true, and his inference that all
questions would be Immediately and per-
settled under direct legislation
is fully as unfair. The Register has no
quarrel with the theory but the argum ent
is fallacious and wholly unfair. Wilbur

Alfalfa In Yakima Valley.

Alfalfa was known more than two
thousand years ago The Greeks and
Romans greatly appreciated its merits,
and since that time it has increased in
value, until now it is almost necessity
and is raised in every part of the world
where 1t is possible for it to thrive. At
the time of the Spanish conquest it was
introduced into Mexico, therce into South
America, Chill, and in 1854 California
and Washington made lite acquaintance
The climate and soil in the Yakima
valley, Washington, are especially adapt
ed for the successful growing OF this plant,
closely allied to the clover family as ii is,
but serving as a finer fodder. One of the
most attractive features OF the Yakima
from April to December, inclusive, is the
beautiful, dark, rich green of the alfalfa
fields. Five dollars an acre will usually
cover the cost of seeding, while it is sold
at $500 ton for feed, and 50 90 when
baled, and as the atmosphere is so dry
and warm, barns are unnecessary for
storage.
If, after each cutting the fields are rri-
gated, crop of from two to three tons
per acre may be harvested every six
weeks during the summer. Usually it is
so arranged that a sxty-acre field can
keep haying outfit busy during the en-
tire season, as one part of the field will
be in blossom while another is being cut
and still another part growing up. The
cause for this rapid succession of crops is
that the roots grow to he several inches
in circumference and extend downward
almost indefinitely until water is reached.
Thus, in porous and deep soil, such as
is found in the Yakima, they will some.
times sink to depth of twenty-five feet
or more. Some almost fabulous tales are
told OF miners coming across old alfalfa
roots which have supposedly extended
downwar1s hundreds of feet. Neyertbe-
less, alfalfa, on account of its rapid
growth, and the small cost of originally
starting field and ever afterwards har-
vesting from the first seeding. has be-
come one of the most popular, if not the
most popular branch of farming in the
great and fertile Yakima valley.-Chas

ern Pacific Railway Company, in North
