has designed this implement, which
has simplicity of construction and
cheapness to recommend it. In oper-
alton the normally open prongs are
forced down into the earth around the
roots and the lever located underneath
the handle is lifted by the hand. This
raises a rod inside the tubular stand
ard and forces a conical wedge to
spread the upper ends of the pivoted
prongs apart, thus gripping the lower
ends of the prongs on the root and
allowing it to be lifted out entire.

not very long ago, there was on the
Lancashire coast, near Lytham, a cot

most entirely from the remains Of a
score or so of whales that had been
driven ashore some years before. The
framework of the edifice consisted
Wholly of whalebone, and the dried

for walls and roof. There is another
building of exactly the same kind at
Peterhead, in Scotland, and in this
case the skulls of the whales and some
OF the heavier bones are used with
great effect as outside ornaments.

1t occurs to us that the Olym-
pia Capitals syndicate politician
tried to be a bit satirical when he
wrote, ''some trade follows the
Flag, as all the coffin manufaet-
ures report heavy orders from the
Philippines" Our Demo-Pop
journalist should not loose sight
of the fact that during Demo
cracy's reign in this country coffin
manufactures went to the wall as
badly as any other kind of indus
tries, simply because times were
too hard for people to die. People
know they can get a swell burial
now, hence they die without re-
grets. It makes whole lot of
difference, old man, with the
average American citizens when
the smoke stacks are In operation
and the wheels of industry are
moving, as to dying just the same
as to living.

Spokane is classed as the second
city in the state by the Adams

showing it quite ahead Of Tacoma.
There is no denying the fact that
there is more truth than poetry in
the allegation. Seattle and Spo-

and it showed very poor business
tact on the part Of Seattle's repre-
sentatives to cause a spirit OF
animosity rather than friendliness
to come between them.
